3 ICT: Folks, all right, we are going to cover the need for a
4
5 2
6 00:02:06,330 ~-~-> 00:02:07,230
7 trading plan.
8
9 3
10 00:02:08,129 ~-~-> 00:02:10,949
11 If you're new to trading and you do not have a trading plan,
12
13 4
14 00:02:12,240 ~-~-> 00:02:13,860
15 it's hopefully my goal
16
17 5
18 00:02:14,820 ~-~-> 00:02:18,960
19 as an end result in this presentation to communicate the
20
21 6
22 00:02:18,960 ~-~-> 00:02:23,220
23 need for one. If you've already started trading, and you've
24
25 7
26 00:02:23,220 ~-~-> 00:02:26,250
27 been having difficulties, and you don't have a trading plan,
28
29 8
30 00:02:26,250 ~-~-> 00:02:30,900
31 I could pretty much guarantee if you just put some work into
32
33 9
34 00:02:30,900 ~-~-> 00:02:34,950
35 formulating a very clear, concise trading plan, your results
36
37 10
38 00:02:34,950 ~-~-> 00:02:38,400
39 would be dramatically different. Because basically having no
40
41 11
42 00:02:38,400 ~-~-> 00:02:42,510
43 plan equals emotional driven results, okay, you're not gonna
44
45 12
46 00:02:42,510 ~-~-> 00:02:45,300
47 have any understanding what to do going to be reacting more
48
49 13
50 00:02:45,300 ~-~-> 00:02:48,360
51 than you're anticipating. And that's the stark difference
52
53 14
54 00:02:48,360 ~-~-> 00:02:51,540
55 between a professional trader because they do have a
56
57 15
58 00:02:51,540 ~-~-> 00:02:54,930
59 detailed, organized trading plan. It's well written, it's
60
61 16
62 00:02:54,960 ~-~-> 00:02:58,650
63 it's by their trading desk, it's memorized. It's reviewed
64
65 17
66 00:02:58,800 ~-~-> 00:03:03,390
67 continuously. By having such they have an objective and
68
69 18
70 00:03:03,390 ~-~-> 00:03:07,170
71 result. And it really is the DNA of a successful trader. So
72
73 19
74 00:03:07,830 ~-~-> 00:03:10,410
75 having a trading plan is at the top of your list as far as
76
77 20
78 00:03:10,410 ~-~-> 00:03:15,780
79 being a consistently profitable trader. Right The majority
80
81 21
82 00:03:15,780 ~-~-> 00:03:18,660
83 of your time, what do you do as a trader? And where is it
84
85 22
86 00:03:19,110 ~-~-> 00:03:23,790
87 most spent in terms of time? Well, first, you got to
88
89 23
90 00:03:23,790 ~-~-> 00:03:25,740
91 understand that you have to manage your time wisely.
92
93 24
94 00:03:25,980 ~-~-> 00:03:27,600
95 Okay, no one's going to manage it for you.
96
97 25
98 00:03:27,900 ~-~-> 00:03:32,160
99 So it's important that you understand that the countless
100
101 26
102 00:03:32,160 ~-~-> 00:03:34,230
103 hours that you spend in analysis without having a clear
104
105 27
106 00:03:34,230 ~-~-> 00:03:38,070
107 objective premise to it is actually counterproductive. Okay,
108
109 28
110 00:03:38,160 ~-~-> 00:03:40,200
111 you feel like you're doing the right thing by spending a lot
112
113 29
114 00:03:40,200 ~-~-> 00:03:42,330
115 of time staring at the chart. But unless you have an
116
117 30
118 00:03:42,330 ~-~-> 00:03:44,520
119 understanding of exactly what it is you're looking for,
120
121 31
122 00:03:44,730 ~-~-> 00:03:48,930
123 you're just wasting your time. You need to spend quality
124
125 32
126 00:03:48,930 ~-~-> 00:03:52,080
127 time with the macro economic analysis and higher time frame
128
129 33
130 00:03:52,080 ~-~-> 00:03:54,240
131 support resistance levels. I can't stress this enough
132
133 34
134 00:03:54,240 ~-~-> 00:03:56,730
135 because most new traders come into the marketplace and he
136
137 35
138 00:03:56,730 ~-~-> 00:04:03,060
139 spent too far time in Five and 15 minute charts, and maybe
140
141 36
142 00:04:03,060 ~-~-> 00:04:05,370
143 even one minute charts, hoping to see some kind of
144
145 37
146 00:04:05,370 ~-~-> 00:04:10,260
147 mysterious neon sign saying buy me or sell me. Nothing
148
149 38
150 00:04:10,260 ~-~-> 00:04:13,170
151 significant occurs without first leaving telltale signs on a
152
153 39
154 00:04:13,170 ~-~-> 00:04:16,680
155 long term basis. That means if there's a significant price
156
157 40
158 00:04:16,680 ~-~-> 00:04:19,890
159 move, I guarantee you if you look at the higher timeframe
160
161 41
162 00:04:19,890 ~-~-> 00:04:23,010
163 charts, and I'm referring to the monthly, weekly, daily for
164
165 42
166 00:04:23,010 ~-~-> 00:04:26,730
167 hour and new, less than a one hour chart, those timeframes
168
169 43
170 00:04:26,730 ~-~-> 00:04:29,640
171 are going to have a clue as to what was the catalyst for
172
173 44
174 00:04:29,640 ~-~-> 00:04:34,740
175 that move prior to it actually unfolding. Follow the
176
177 45
178 00:04:34,740 ~-~-> 00:04:37,620
179 interest rates. This is where the majority of your time is
180
181 46
182 00:04:37,620 ~-~-> 00:04:40,200
183 gonna be spent. You need to get a feel for what interest
184
185 47
186 00:04:40,200 ~-~-> 00:04:43,260
187 rates are trying to do. Are they moving higher or are they
188
189 48
190 00:04:43,260 ~-~-> 00:04:46,350
191 moving lower? Keeping track of the overnight lending rate
192
193 49
194 00:04:46,350 ~-~-> 00:04:51,150
195 with the banks per country is absolutely significant
196
197 50
198 00:04:51,330 ~-~-> 00:04:54,510
199 information and insight you need as a consistent trader
200
201 51
202 00:04:58,770 ~-~-> 00:05:02,640
203 what's the least important part? And trading? Well, don't
204
205 52
206 00:05:02,640 ~-~-> 00:05:06,030
207 focus on the money number one. And unfortunately, we all get
208
209 53
210 00:05:06,030 ~-~-> 00:05:09,570
211 into this business for a number of things, okay, but top of
212
213 54
214 00:05:09,570 ~-~-> 00:05:13,170
215 the list should be to make money. But while you're trading,
216
217 55
218 00:05:13,200 ~-~-> 00:05:16,650
219 your focus should not be on the money. Don't focus on the
220
221 56
222 00:05:16,650 ~-~-> 00:05:19,080
223 amount of money that you hope to make, there's no guarantee
224
225 57
226 00:05:19,080 ~-~-> 00:05:20,910
227 you're going to make it on every trade. So there's no real
228
229 58
230 00:05:20,910 ~-~-> 00:05:25,260
231 point in hoping you just trade the process, trade your plan,
232
233 59
234 00:05:25,500 ~-~-> 00:05:29,220
235 and the end result should if you have a well grounded, well
236
237 60
238 00:05:30,090 ~-~-> 00:05:33,030
239 formulated trading plan, money will deposit into your
240
241 61
242 00:05:33,030 ~-~-> 00:05:37,200
243 account. Do not worry about losses, okay? You're going to
244
245 62
246 00:05:37,200 ~-~-> 00:05:40,050
247 have losing trades. If you accept that going in. You won't
248
249 63
250 00:05:40,050 ~-~-> 00:05:42,840
251 be demoralized from it. Okay, every good trader whether
252
253 64
254 00:05:42,840 ~-~-> 00:05:48,000
255 you're professional or not, they have losing streaks. Do not
256
257 65
258 00:05:48,000 ~-~-> 00:05:50,790
259 worry about missed trades. I'm going to tell you right now
260
261 66
262 00:05:50,790 ~-~-> 00:05:54,750
263 I'm probably miss more winning trades every single week than
264
265 67
266 00:05:54,750 ~-~-> 00:05:57,870
267 more than most of you realize. I don't take a whole lot of
268
269 68
270 00:05:57,870 ~-~-> 00:06:00,330
271 trades. I like to cherry pick. I like to take things And are
272
273 69
274 00:06:00,330 ~-~-> 00:06:00,630
275 really
276
277 70
278 00:06:01,170 ~-~-> 00:06:01,740
279 Unknown: set up.
280
281 71
282 00:06:02,070 ~-~-> 00:06:04,140
283 ICT: And if you have that mindset going in much like
284
285 72
286 00:06:04,770 ~-~-> 00:06:08,340
287 expecting losses, it's very comforting to know that you
288
289 73
290 00:06:08,340 ~-~-> 00:06:11,250
291 don't feeling rushed. And that's a very important
292
293 74
294 00:06:11,610 ~-~-> 00:06:14,880
295 characteristic of a professional trader. We aren't rushed to
296
297 75
298 00:06:14,880 ~-~-> 00:06:17,490
299 get in the marketplace. You know, we react slowly when
300
301 76
302 00:06:17,490 ~-~-> 00:06:20,880
303 trying to make money. And we react fast and quickly when
304
305 77
306 00:06:20,880 ~-~-> 00:06:22,770
307 we're trying to preserve our money. That's a very
308
309 78
310 00:06:22,950 ~-~-> 00:06:25,080
311 significant paradigm shift that you're going to need if you
312
313 79
314 00:06:25,080 ~-~-> 00:06:26,760
315 don't already have that mindset going in.
316
317 80
318 00:06:28,529 ~-~-> 00:06:31,499
319 The least important process in trading is the entry signals.
320
321 81
322 00:06:31,500 ~-~-> 00:06:34,470
323 And I'll probably stop you right there. But it really is
324
325 82
326 00:06:34,500 ~-~-> 00:06:38,370
327 least in terms of significance. If you don't have a macro
328
329 83
330 00:06:38,370 ~-~-> 00:06:41,280
331 understanding of what's going on in the marketplace and the
332
333 84
334 00:06:41,280 ~-~-> 00:06:44,160
335 higher timeframe directional bias, chances are, you're
336
337 85
338 00:06:44,160 ~-~-> 00:06:47,310
339 probably going to be wrong more times, and you're right. So
340
341 86
342 00:06:47,940 ~-~-> 00:06:56,610
343 it's my goal to really try to drive you to looking at the
344
345 87
346 00:06:56,640 ~-~-> 00:07:00,450
347 weekly the monthly, the daily in the four hour chart. And if
348
349 88
350 00:07:00,450 ~-~-> 00:07:02,220
351 you're going to go a little less than four hour, don't go
352
353 89
354 00:07:02,220 ~-~-> 00:07:05,160
355 below one hour, but spend most spend most of your time on
356
357 90
358 00:07:05,160 ~-~-> 00:07:09,300
359 the weekly and daily, those charts are going to be the most
360
361 91
362 00:07:09,540 ~-~-> 00:07:13,440
363 in significance. Because it's the banking levels are
364
365 92
366 00:07:13,680 ~-~-> 00:07:14,310
367 determined.
368
369 93
370 00:07:17,550 ~-~-> 00:07:21,540
371 Premise and sound basis is paramount. That means you have to
372
373 94
374 00:07:21,540 ~-~-> 00:07:23,580
375 have an understanding of what it is that you're doing.
376
377 95
378 00:07:24,120 ~-~-> 00:07:26,820
379 You're not just staring blindly at charts because that's not
380
381 96
382 00:07:26,820 ~-~-> 00:07:30,570
383 going to get you anywhere. I guarantee you unless you have a
384
385 97
386 00:07:30,600 ~-~-> 00:07:35,370
387 specific pattern, a motive that you use to get into a
388
389 98
390 00:07:35,370 ~-~-> 00:07:38,790
391 particular trade. And you hunt that whether you're back
392
393 99
394 00:07:38,790 ~-~-> 00:07:42,060
395 testing or walking forward with it. Unless you have that
396
397 100
398 00:07:42,060 ~-~-> 00:07:44,550
399 understanding of what it is specifically that you're looking
400
401 101
402 00:07:44,550 ~-~-> 00:07:47,640
403 for. You're just basically spinning your wheels and it's my
404
405 102
406 00:07:47,640 ~-~-> 00:07:53,580
407 advice not to do that. Keep the focus on the plan and work
408
409 103
410 00:07:53,610 ~-~-> 00:07:56,010
411 the trading edge that your method exploits
412
413 104
414 00:08:01,589 ~-~-> 00:08:05,309
415 All right, the general overview. Right trading plans are
416
417 105
418 00:08:05,309 ~-~-> 00:08:08,309
419 basically taking all the pieces of the puzzle to equate to
420
421 106
422 00:08:08,309 ~-~-> 00:08:11,639
423 successful trading and bringing those pieces together. Those
424
425 107
426 00:08:11,639 ~-~-> 00:08:15,179
427 pieces could be fundamental data technicals, inter market
428
429 108
430 00:08:16,409 ~-~-> 00:08:21,629
431 analysis. All these things go together in terms of building
432
433 109
434 00:08:21,659 ~-~-> 00:08:26,069
435 a trading plan. impeccable risk control is the first
436
437 110
438 00:08:26,069 ~-~-> 00:08:31,319
439 component to any successful trading plan. Flawless equity
440
441 111
442 00:08:31,319 ~-~-> 00:08:35,459
443 management, which is closely tied to risk control is
444
445 112
446 00:08:35,459 ~-~-> 00:08:38,909
447 essential to every successful trading plan. You can have all
448
449 113
450 00:08:39,269 ~-~-> 00:08:42,479
451 the bells and whistles on your trade monitor, but it means
452
453 114
454 00:08:42,479 ~-~-> 00:08:44,939
455 nothing unless you control your money and the risks involved
456
457 115
458 00:08:44,939 ~-~-> 00:08:49,649
459 in all your trades. fundamentals at any measure can always
460
461 116
462 00:08:49,649 ~-~-> 00:08:53,909
463 assist a trader in trade plan development. inter market
464
465 117
466 00:08:53,909 ~-~-> 00:08:56,549
467 analysis is key to a well balanced trading plan.
468
469 118
470 00:08:56,849 ~-~-> 00:08:59,969
471 Understanding how all the asset classes tie together in his
472
473 119
474 00:08:59,999 ~-~-> 00:09:04,019
475 Upon movement on the interest rate markets that is crucial
476
477 120
478 00:09:04,019 ~-~-> 00:09:08,069
479 for your long term success and longevity in trading.
480
481 121
482 00:09:10,169 ~-~-> 00:09:13,439
483 Technical analysis, and a comprehensive approach to sound
484
485 122
486 00:09:13,439 ~-~-> 00:09:16,469
487 tools and concepts is the framework to exercising a trading
488
489 123
490 00:09:16,469 ~-~-> 00:09:21,239
491 plan. If you don't have a concise list of specific tools
492
493 124
494 00:09:21,239 ~-~-> 00:09:25,229
495 that you use for specific times and reasons, you're going to
496
497 125
498 00:09:25,229 ~-~-> 00:09:27,149
499 be floating in and out with different oscillators, you're
500
501 126
502 00:09:27,149 ~-~-> 00:09:30,599
503 gonna be using different tools, understand what tools you're
504
505 127
506 00:09:30,599 ~-~-> 00:09:33,599
507 going to have and stick to those and understand what it is
508
509 128
510 00:09:33,599 ~-~-> 00:09:36,809
511 that those specific specific tools do. And try not to use
512
513 129
514 00:09:36,809 ~-~-> 00:09:39,479
515 them for any other reason except for those purposes only.
516
517 130
518 00:09:41,999 ~-~-> 00:09:44,909
519 executing a top down analysis with all the above components
520
521 131
522 00:09:44,909 ~-~-> 00:09:47,819
523 will deliver optimal results while controlling risk, which
524
525 132
526 00:09:47,819 ~-~-> 00:09:51,419
527 is the number one reason why we as traders last as long as
528
529 133
530 00:09:51,419 ~-~-> 00:09:55,499
531 we do in this business, we control risk. So all the pieces
532
533 134
534 00:09:55,499 ~-~-> 00:09:58,679
535 together it begins and ends with the control of risk.
536
537 135
538 00:10:40,440 ~-~-> 00:10:44,760
539 paradigm shift Alright guys, you are not the only predator
540
541 136
542 00:10:44,760 ~-~-> 00:10:47,220
543 in the marketplace. I know sometimes when we get these
544
545 137
546 00:10:47,220 ~-~-> 00:10:49,560
547 trading plans and trading tools and it's the first time
548
549 138
550 00:10:49,560 ~-~-> 00:10:52,770
551 you've ever probably looked at an organized structure of how
552
553 139
554 00:10:52,770 ~-~-> 00:10:55,890
555 to apply analysis to the marketplace, and you feel kind of
556
557 140
558 00:10:55,890 ~-~-> 00:10:58,860
559 like a big shot, and that's normal. It's kind of cool now,
560
561 141
562 00:10:59,250 ~-~-> 00:11:03,480
563 but dude Not overestimate the importance of knowing there's
564
565 142
566 00:11:03,480 ~-~-> 00:11:07,800
567 other people out there that want your mind to when you go in
568
569 143
570 00:11:07,830 ~-~-> 00:11:11,400
571 confident, or you develop confidence later on, understand
572
573 144
574 00:11:11,430 ~-~-> 00:11:15,660
575 overconfidence is actually counterproductive. overconfidence
576
577 145
578 00:11:15,660 ~-~-> 00:11:19,080
579 is actually an invitation for ego which also allows the
580
581 146
582 00:11:19,080 ~-~-> 00:11:21,840
583 input of emotions and that's not what you want your trading.
584
585 147
586 00:11:23,070 ~-~-> 00:11:26,760
587 Never assume your well designed trading plan won't hit a
588
589 148
590 00:11:26,760 ~-~-> 00:11:30,090
591 losing streak. I'm assuring you that it will. There's no one
592
593 149
594 00:11:30,090 ~-~-> 00:11:32,100
595 out there that is immune to it, you're going to have a
596
597 150
598 00:11:32,100 ~-~-> 00:11:36,420
599 losing streak, okay. always reflect on your wins as a
600
601 151
602 00:11:36,420 ~-~-> 00:11:39,930
603 victory and your losses as a learning opportunity. All
604
605 152
606 00:11:39,930 ~-~-> 00:11:42,990
607 learning opportunities that I've experienced in my trading
608
609 153
610 00:11:43,140 ~-~-> 00:11:46,020
611 have actually produced greater growth
612
613 154
614 00:11:46,020 ~-~-> 00:11:46,290
615 in
616
617 155
618 00:11:46,410 ~-~-> 00:11:48,960
619 my development as a trader. So losses are actually a
620
621 156
622 00:11:48,960 ~-~-> 00:11:53,550
623 beneficial thing. It will take preparation in advance to
624
625 157
626 00:11:53,550 ~-~-> 00:11:56,490
627 weather periods of inevitable draw down. Journal your
628
629 158
630 00:11:56,490 ~-~-> 00:11:59,460
631 results both good and bad. It's important you go back to
632
633 159
634 00:11:59,460 ~-~-> 00:12:02,400
635 that journal Because it periods of drawdown and strings of
636
637 160
638 00:12:02,400 ~-~-> 00:12:05,550
639 losses, it will help remind you that these are temporary
640
641 161
642 00:12:05,550 ~-~-> 00:12:08,280
643 events and that you do eventually trade out of them if you
644
645 162
646 00:12:08,280 ~-~-> 00:12:11,190
647 control risk and reduce your overall exposure as you
648
649 163
650 00:12:11,430 ~-~-> 00:12:16,110
651 continue to take losses. Do not overdrive your trading plan
652
653 164
654 00:12:16,110 ~-~-> 00:12:19,140
655 or attempt to trade outside its intended purpose. Do not
656
657 165
658 00:12:19,140 ~-~-> 00:12:24,420
659 turn a position trade, okay into multiple different
660
661 166
662 00:12:24,450 ~-~-> 00:12:27,570
663 timeframe trades. Okay. If you if your analysis suggests
664
665 167
666 00:12:27,570 ~-~-> 00:12:32,460
667 it's a position, trade, trade it like that, okay. Every
668
669 168
670 00:12:32,460 ~-~-> 00:12:35,340
671 great trader has one thing in common and it's the respect
672
673 169
674 00:12:35,340 ~-~-> 00:12:38,190
675 and understanding that the risk will always outweigh the
676
677 170
678 00:12:38,190 ~-~-> 00:12:41,610
679 reward unless it is properly managed. It's not about the
680
681 171
682 00:12:41,610 ~-~-> 00:12:44,220
683 profits. It's controlling risk.
684
685 172
686 00:12:49,590 ~-~-> 00:12:51,360
687 Pack small play big
688
689 173
690 00:12:52,950 ~-~-> 00:12:57,180
691 2% risk or less, is it really enough? I probably get this
692
693 174
694 00:12:57,180 ~-~-> 00:13:02,160
695 question emailed to me more than any other You when you get
696
697 175
698 00:13:02,160 ~-~-> 00:13:04,560
699 into trading guys, you probably fantasize about going to
700
701 176
702 00:13:04,560 ~-~-> 00:13:10,290
703 places like this. And you think you need to risk 2015 10% of
704
705 177
706 00:13:10,290 ~-~-> 00:13:12,690
707 your account to get there. And I can assure you, I've been
708
709 178
710 00:13:12,690 ~-~-> 00:13:16,200
711 to places like this. And I've done it with 2% risk or many
712
713 179
714 00:13:16,200 ~-~-> 00:13:20,340
715 times with less than that. And it's amazing. If you just
716
717 180
718 00:13:20,340 ~-~-> 00:13:23,490
719 understand the power of compound interest, you don't need a
720
721 181
722 00:13:23,490 ~-~-> 00:13:26,640
723 whole lot of risk exposure to build this wealth. The
724
725 182
726 00:13:26,640 ~-~-> 00:13:29,610
727 question will always be in the developing traders mind, how
728
729 183
730 00:13:29,610 ~-~-> 00:13:32,640
731 can I make a fortune with so little risk and hopefully by
732
733 184
734 00:13:32,640 ~-~-> 00:13:34,650
735 the end of this presentation, you'll see that you don't
736
737 185
738 00:13:34,650 ~-~-> 00:13:37,650
739 really need a whole lot of risk. You just need time and
740
741 186
742 00:13:37,650 ~-~-> 00:13:42,660
743 consistency. proficient consistent traders focus on the
744
745 187
746 00:13:42,660 ~-~-> 00:13:46,410
747 reality that their trading will not be perfect. We are not
748
749 188
750 00:13:46,410 ~-~-> 00:13:49,020
751 going in with the mindset of expecting our trades to be
752
753 189
754 00:13:49,020 ~-~-> 00:13:51,960
755 perfect, okay? We don't even need high accuracy,
756
757 190
758 00:13:52,050 ~-~-> 00:13:52,530
759 okay.
760
761 191
762 00:13:53,040 ~-~-> 00:13:56,820
763 But you do need consistently following a trading plan.
764
765 192
766 00:13:56,940 ~-~-> 00:14:03,060
767 That's paramount. You have to continuously do that. You can
768
769 193
770 00:14:03,060 ~-~-> 00:14:06,960
771 make all the money you ever need risking 2% and many times
772
773 194
774 00:14:06,960 ~-~-> 00:14:11,880
775 even less than that portrayed. Wealth is built with time,
776
777 195
778 00:14:12,240 ~-~-> 00:14:20,010
779 not excessive risk exposure. Keeping realistic goals in
780
781 196
782 00:14:20,010 ~-~-> 00:14:25,170
783 focus. Alright guys, you've seen all of the internet gurus
784
785 197
786 00:14:25,170 ~-~-> 00:14:28,260
787 and you probably thought I was one like that as well. That
788
789 198
790 00:14:28,260 ~-~-> 00:14:30,120
791 promised riches real quick.
792
793 199
794 00:14:30,359 ~-~-> 00:14:33,269
795 You're gonna get, you know, 1000 pips every month.
796
797 200
798 00:14:34,350 ~-~-> 00:14:38,580
799 Guys, look, don't take the bait. Okay, that is meant for you
800
801 201
802 00:14:38,610 ~-~-> 00:14:43,830
803 to lose. Okay? Do not buy into that mindset. Your goal is to
804
805 202
806 00:14:43,830 ~-~-> 00:14:47,070
807 steadily build your account with little draw down as humanly
808
809 203
810 00:14:47,070 ~-~-> 00:14:51,900
811 possible. Your trading is not hinged on the premise. You
812
813 204
814 00:14:51,900 ~-~-> 00:14:55,230
815 must hit home run profits, every trade, or even weekly.
816
817 205
818 00:14:56,010 ~-~-> 00:14:59,670
819 There's a lot of times I'll have a losing week. There's many
820
821 206
822 00:14:59,670 ~-~-> 00:15:04,230
823 times on Have a losing day and then come back from that and
824
825 207
826 00:15:04,260 ~-~-> 00:15:08,280
827 be able to recoup it. But I'm not always hitting Win Win
828
829 208
830 00:15:08,280 ~-~-> 00:15:13,350
831 Win, win win, and you're not going to either. Your career
832
833 209
834 00:15:13,380 ~-~-> 00:15:17,400
835 should be built on a low, yet sufficient baseline target
836
837 210
838 00:15:17,400 ~-~-> 00:15:25,410
839 based on percent return, or pips per month or week. trading
840
841 211
842 00:15:25,410 ~-~-> 00:15:28,920
843 with risk controlled and profiting a net gain of 25 pips per
844
845 212
846 00:15:28,920 ~-~-> 00:15:34,110
847 week should be a new traders goal. After consistently
848
849 213
850 00:15:34,110 ~-~-> 00:15:37,800
851 harvesting 25 pips per week graduate to targeting 50 pips
852
853 214
854 00:15:39,090 ~-~-> 00:15:42,930
855 after 50 pips per week is achieved, aim for 75 pips and
856
857 215
858 00:15:42,930 ~-~-> 00:15:45,420
859 eventually move beyond that as your experience and tolerance
860
861 216
862 00:15:45,420 ~-~-> 00:15:46,710
863 for risk increases.
864
865 217
866 00:15:50,670 ~-~-> 00:15:52,260
867 Alright, let's look at a case study here we're going to look
868
869 218
870 00:15:52,260 ~-~-> 00:15:52,890
871 at a
872
873 219
874 00:15:53,819 ~-~-> 00:15:57,839
875 trading model that more or less targets and shoots a goal
876
877 220
878 00:15:57,839 ~-~-> 00:16:03,749
879 for 25 pips for the week. And we're looking at possibly
880
881 221
882 00:16:03,749 ~-~-> 00:16:08,549
883 making 6% return for the month, and we're risking 2% per
884
885 222
886 00:16:08,549 ~-~-> 00:16:13,079
887 trade and 30 PIP stops are used, and the monthly goal only
888
889 223
890 00:16:13,079 ~-~-> 00:16:18,269
891 equates to 90 pips for the entire month. Now, if you look at
892
893 224
894 00:16:18,269 ~-~-> 00:16:20,759
895 these numbers, okay, this is a spreadsheet so there's going
896
897 225
898 00:16:20,759 ~-~-> 00:16:25,739
899 to be a little bit of, you know, rounding issue but 23 pips,
900
901 226
902 00:16:26,069 ~-~-> 00:16:30,509
903 okay, per week, roughly we'll just call 25 pips that would
904
905 227
906 00:16:30,509 ~-~-> 00:16:34,649
907 equate to 6% return per month. If you start with 20 $500. In
908
909 228
910 00:16:34,649 ~-~-> 00:16:38,909
911 one year, your account goes to over $5,000, which is more
912
913 229
914 00:16:38,909 ~-~-> 00:16:44,069
915 than doubling. After two years, it goes to $10,122. Okay, so
916
917 230
918 00:16:44,069 ~-~-> 00:16:45,929
919 you see, essentially you're doubling your money every single
920
921 231
922 00:16:45,929 ~-~-> 00:16:49,019
923 year, you're only risking 2% and you're only looking for 25
924
925 232
926 00:16:49,019 ~-~-> 00:16:52,679
927 pips per week. Now notice over here we have daily calm,
928
929 233
930 00:16:52,889 ~-~-> 00:16:57,899
931 okay, this is more or less to stimulate the idea that if you
932
933 234
934 00:16:57,899 ~-~-> 00:17:02,009
935 trade on a daily basis, and you scout I don't really teach
936
937 235
938 00:17:02,969 ~-~-> 00:17:06,779
939 traders to go in and try to scalp scalp five pips. But just
940
941 236
942 00:17:06,779 ~-~-> 00:17:08,639
943 for the sake of argument we're going to look at you know,
944
945 237
946 00:17:08,999 ~-~-> 00:17:12,179
947 every day if you scalp five pips, that would give you your
948
949 238
950 00:17:12,179 ~-~-> 00:17:14,939
951 25 pips for the week. Obviously, if you're trading the best
952
953 239
954 00:17:14,939 ~-~-> 00:17:16,859
955 days of the week, which were Tuesday, Wednesday and
956
957 240
958 00:17:16,859 ~-~-> 00:17:21,569
959 Thursday, regardless of what pair you trade, eight pips per
960
961 241
962 00:17:21,569 ~-~-> 00:17:24,509
963 day, three times a week would give you your goal for the
964
965 242
966 00:17:24,509 ~-~-> 00:17:27,989
967 week and obviously 11 should be around rough rounded up like
968
969 243
970 00:17:27,989 ~-~-> 00:17:32,909
971 12 twice a week would give you your weekly PIP haul. So you
972
973 244
974 00:17:32,909 ~-~-> 00:17:39,419
975 can see over time your money is growing steadily. And while
976
977 245
978 00:17:39,419 ~-~-> 00:17:42,059
979 it's not a whole lot of money, you got to look at what
980
981 246
982 00:17:42,059 ~-~-> 00:17:43,979
983 you're starting with and what you're really aiming for.
984
985 247
986 00:17:44,009 ~-~-> 00:17:46,859
987 Okay, and I think 25 pips per week if you're brand new
988
989 248
990 00:17:46,859 ~-~-> 00:17:53,879
991 trader is an absolutely wonderful goal to start with. Okay,
992
993 249
994 00:17:53,879 ~-~-> 00:17:57,179
995 look at another case studies is 50 pips per week, okay, and
996
997 250
998 00:17:57,179 ~-~-> 00:17:59,819
999 we're gonna be targeting 10% per month sign with the same
1000
1001 251
1002 00:17:59,819 ~-~-> 00:18:03,389
1003 account. 20 $500 now this time we're going to exercise the
1004
1005 252
1006 00:18:03,389 ~-~-> 00:18:10,799
1007 risk exposure of one and a half one and a half percent 30
1008
1009 253
1010 00:18:10,799 ~-~-> 00:18:14,039
1011 pips per stop, and a monthly goal in terms of pips is 200
1012
1013 254
1014 00:18:14,039 ~-~-> 00:18:17,639
1015 pips and the weekly goal is 50 pips per week, and if you
1016
1017 255
1018 00:18:17,639 ~-~-> 00:18:21,659
1019 trade everyday scalping 10 pips per day, equates to 50 pips.
1020
1021 256
1022 00:18:22,049 ~-~-> 00:18:24,659
1023 And three times Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday looking for
1024
1025 257
1026 00:18:24,659 ~-~-> 00:18:30,659
1027 17 pips per day or two times for the week at 25 pips per
1028
1029 258
1030 00:18:31,109 ~-~-> 00:18:37,829
1031 trade. The first year your account would move to $7,846 and
1032
1033 259
1034 00:18:37,829 ~-~-> 00:18:43,739
1035 then in second year, it would be at $24,624 not bad and
1036
1037 260
1038 00:18:43,739 ~-~-> 00:18:45,719
1039 you're not really hitting homeruns yet guys, are you it's
1040
1041 261
1042 00:18:45,719 ~-~-> 00:18:52,589
1043 only 50 pips. Okay, look at a case study where we're looking
1044
1045 262
1046 00:18:52,589 ~-~-> 00:18:56,549
1047 for 75 pips per week. Now I can tell you, you can build a
1048
1049 263
1050 00:18:56,549 ~-~-> 00:19:01,049
1051 career on this, okay. 75 pips is absolutely Astonishing if
1052
1053 264
1054 00:19:01,049 ~-~-> 00:19:06,029
1055 you use it the right way 10% per month, risking only 1% per
1056
1057 265
1058 00:19:06,029 ~-~-> 00:19:11,609
1059 trade using a 30 PIP stop loss, the goal 300 pips 75 pips
1060
1061 266
1062 00:19:11,609 ~-~-> 00:19:15,269
1063 per week, if you day trade every single day 15 pips would be
1064
1065 267
1066 00:19:15,269 ~-~-> 00:19:18,959
1067 your goal 25 if you're trading three times per week and 38
1068
1069 268
1070 00:19:19,559 ~-~-> 00:19:23,969
1071 pips twice a week with equate to your goal and in one year,
1072
1073 269
1074 00:19:23,969 ~-~-> 00:19:29,279
1075 your 20 $500 would essentially grow to 7846. And again
1076
1077 270
1078 00:19:29,279 ~-~-> 00:19:31,769
1079 $24,624
1080
1081 271
1082 00:19:37,980 ~-~-> 00:19:40,560
1083 modular thinking steady progress.
1084
1085 272
1086 00:19:41,490 ~-~-> 00:19:46,620
1087 Now small consistency can still surprise you. It takes an
1088
1089 273
1090 00:19:46,620 ~-~-> 00:19:50,640
1091 exponential mindset, little things over a period of time
1092
1093 274
1094 00:19:50,790 ~-~-> 00:19:54,870
1095 equals big results. Building your trading plan flexibility,
1096
1097 275
1098 00:19:55,140 ~-~-> 00:19:58,020
1099 you're not always going to see it on the timeline that you
1100
1101 276
1102 00:19:58,020 ~-~-> 00:20:02,610
1103 want. You might have a weekly goal that may require shorter
1104
1105 277
1106 00:20:02,610 ~-~-> 00:20:07,020
1107 term day trades or scalps to achieve. Do not force yourself
1108
1109 278
1110 00:20:07,020 ~-~-> 00:20:09,510
1111 into hunting or believing you need to make your goals daily
1112
1113 279
1114 00:20:09,510 ~-~-> 00:20:14,220
1115 and or weekly. Your weekly goals might fall short a week or
1116
1117 280
1118 00:20:14,220 ~-~-> 00:20:18,090
1119 two, but still might be met in the course of the same month.
1120
1121 281
1122 00:20:18,450 ~-~-> 00:20:23,520
1123 It may just average out guys. Your monthly goal might
1124
1125 282
1126 00:20:23,520 ~-~-> 00:20:26,700
1127 average out over the quarter or over the entire year. Don't
1128
1129 283
1130 00:20:26,700 ~-~-> 00:20:30,540
1131 be so rigid and allow the market to pay you when and how it
1132
1133 284
1134 00:20:30,540 ~-~-> 00:20:37,110
1135 will. Your goals might fall short of your forecast and
1136
1137 285
1138 00:20:37,110 ~-~-> 00:20:41,310
1139 hopes. However, do not be disappointed if this occurs, you
1140
1141 286
1142 00:20:41,310 ~-~-> 00:20:43,590
1143 will still be heading in the right direction and that's
1144
1145 287
1146 00:20:43,590 ~-~-> 00:20:51,240
1147 really what matters. Success without homeruns Is it
1148
1149 288
1150 00:20:51,240 ~-~-> 00:20:54,690
1151 possible? Well, let's look at this. This is kind of lost the
1152
1153 289
1154 00:20:54,690 ~-~-> 00:21:00,720
1155 I admit, but this is what could happen. 20% per month Now
1156
1157 290
1158 00:21:00,720 ~-~-> 00:21:04,530
1159 it's rather impressive analysis. That's another way that you
1160
1161 291
1162 00:21:04,650 ~-~-> 00:21:08,190
1163 many fantasize about. We're going to be risking 2% per trade
1164
1165 292
1166 00:21:08,190 ~-~-> 00:21:12,150
1167 maximum. And now we have an understanding what we knew using
1168
1169 293
1170 00:21:12,150 ~-~-> 00:21:15,360
1171 our trading plan and we have some consistency. We understand
1172
1173 294
1174 00:21:15,360 ~-~-> 00:21:17,940
1175 how to use a lower timeframe so we can use now 20 pips stop
1176
1177 295
1178 00:21:17,940 ~-~-> 00:21:22,860
1179 losses. The monthly goal is 200 pips still in terms of many
1180
1181 296
1182 00:21:22,860 ~-~-> 00:21:26,460
1183 expectations of traders, that's very, very modest, weekly
1184
1185 297
1186 00:21:26,460 ~-~-> 00:21:30,120
1187 PIP goal 50 pips and if you break that down, it could be
1188
1189 298
1190 00:21:30,120 ~-~-> 00:21:33,300
1191 done over a course of everyday 10 pips three times a week is
1192
1193 299
1194 00:21:33,300 ~-~-> 00:21:38,910
1195 17 pips and 25 times two per week 20 $500 in one year gross
1196
1197 300
1198 00:21:38,910 ~-~-> 00:21:45,810
1199 of $22,290 and in two years, it goes to 198,000 and in 34
1200
1201 301
1202 00:21:45,810 ~-~-> 00:21:49,890
1203 months, gross to what everyone fantasizes about in trading
1204
1205 302
1206 00:21:49,920 ~-~-> 00:21:51,210
1207 the $1 million mark.
1208
1209 303
1210 00:21:58,140 ~-~-> 00:22:01,950
1211 Keep something pay yourself You have to learn to be
1212
1213 304
1214 00:22:01,950 ~-~-> 00:22:04,950
1215 methodical about taking first profit guys, no one's going to
1216
1217 305
1218 00:22:04,950 ~-~-> 00:22:07,080
1219 pay you, your broker is not going to take first profit for
1220
1221 306
1222 00:22:07,080 ~-~-> 00:22:09,000
1223 you. They're not going to scale some of your position and
1224
1225 307
1226 00:22:09,000 ~-~-> 00:22:12,090
1227 make sure you get some profit out of a winning trade. It's
1228
1229 308
1230 00:22:12,090 ~-~-> 00:22:15,120
1231 your responsibility. So before taking any trade, it's
1232
1233 309
1234 00:22:15,120 ~-~-> 00:22:18,480
1235 crucial for you to know at what level you will take first
1236
1237 310
1238 00:22:18,480 ~-~-> 00:22:22,830
1239 profit and then start to reduce or remove risk altogether.
1240
1241 311
1242 00:22:24,600 ~-~-> 00:22:27,540
1243 Limiting risk after taking half of your original position
1244
1245 312
1246 00:22:27,540 ~-~-> 00:22:31,440
1247 off will remove emotional and psychological pressures you
1248
1249 313
1250 00:22:31,440 ~-~-> 00:22:35,310
1251 may feel while the position is open. If you take first
1252
1253 314
1254 00:22:35,310 ~-~-> 00:22:40,530
1255 profit, that will absolutely remove all of the rush for you
1256
1257 315
1258 00:22:40,530 ~-~-> 00:22:42,540
1259 to be able to close the trade because how many times you've
1260
1261 316
1262 00:22:42,540 ~-~-> 00:22:45,540
1263 been in a trade, even a demo account if you guys are new,
1264
1265 317
1266 00:22:45,780 ~-~-> 00:22:47,760
1267 and you see a profit and you just want to close it out
1268
1269 318
1270 00:22:47,760 ~-~-> 00:22:50,010
1271 because you just want to see it in your account as
1272
1273 319
1274 00:22:50,010 ~-~-> 00:22:52,950
1275 registering as a profit. Okay, when you take some off and
1276
1277 320
1278 00:22:52,950 ~-~-> 00:22:55,500
1279 you split your position in half, take some of it off and
1280
1281 321
1282 00:22:55,500 ~-~-> 00:22:58,260
1283 move your stop to break even or reduce it to half of what
1284
1285 322
1286 00:22:58,260 ~-~-> 00:23:03,150
1287 your original profit was. That's a wonderful position to be
1288
1289 323
1290 00:23:03,150 ~-~-> 00:23:05,940
1291 in because now no matter what you either make half of your
1292
1293 324
1294 00:23:05,940 ~-~-> 00:23:10,320
1295 first positions profit potential when it was first profit,
1296
1297 325
1298 00:23:10,890 ~-~-> 00:23:14,340
1299 or you stop at an event and you collect your first you know
1300
1301 326
1302 00:23:14,340 ~-~-> 00:23:18,840
1303 first profit and it was it taking first profit at a
1304
1305 327
1306 00:23:18,840 ~-~-> 00:23:21,750
1307 predetermined level will assist in building confidence and
1308
1309 328
1310 00:23:21,750 ~-~-> 00:23:25,410
1311 removes the sting of the trade losing should it reverse on
1312
1313 329
1314 00:23:25,410 ~-~-> 00:23:28,170
1315 you and stop you out of breakeven. How many times you had a
1316
1317 330
1318 00:23:28,170 ~-~-> 00:23:30,720
1319 winning trade and then go against you and become a losing
1320
1321 331
1322 00:23:30,720 ~-~-> 00:23:33,840
1323 trade? Okay, I know that's like, I'm not immune to that I
1324
1325 332
1326 00:23:33,840 ~-~-> 00:23:37,440
1327 experienced that. The greatest thing you can do is learn to
1328
1329 333
1330 00:23:37,440 ~-~-> 00:23:45,090
1331 take profits take first profit, and scale. Continuing our
1332
1333 334
1334 00:23:45,090 ~-~-> 00:23:47,910
1335 theme success without homeruns Now let's take a look at an
1336
1337 335
1338 00:23:47,910 ~-~-> 00:23:50,730
1339 example. Let's assume for a moment we are a trader that now
1340
1341 336
1342 00:23:50,730 ~-~-> 00:23:56,370
1343 uses two positions. Okay, to enter on a trade. In other
1344
1345 337
1346 00:23:56,370 ~-~-> 00:23:59,970
1347 words, we take a maximum of 2% risk and we split it in half
1348
1349 338
1350 00:24:00,000 ~-~-> 00:24:04,560
1351 If the first portion of a trade we take first profit at 30
1352
1353 339
1354 00:24:04,560 ~-~-> 00:24:08,190
1355 pips, we're going to be risking 20 pips. So we're already
1356
1357 340
1358 00:24:08,190 ~-~-> 00:24:11,730
1359 risking 1.5 to one reward the risk.
1360
1361 341
1362 00:24:12,390 ~-~-> 00:24:14,280
1363 Okay, so we're making, we're making a little bit more
1364
1365 342
1366 00:24:14,579 ~-~-> 00:24:18,839
1367 than what we're risking for the initial first profit. And if
1368
1369 343
1370 00:24:18,839 ~-~-> 00:24:21,539
1371 we just did that alone in the second portion of our trade,
1372
1373 344
1374 00:24:22,139 ~-~-> 00:24:24,809
1375 we moved to break even and it stops out every single time we
1376
1377 345
1378 00:24:24,809 ~-~-> 00:24:27,359
1379 trade for the entire year, our account would still double.
1380
1381 346
1382 00:24:27,869 ~-~-> 00:24:33,779
1383 Okay. Risking 1% it would equate to 6% so that's still good.
1384
1385 347
1386 00:24:34,979 ~-~-> 00:24:37,619
1387 But now let's look what happens if we allow the second
1388
1389 348
1390 00:24:37,619 ~-~-> 00:24:44,579
1391 portion of our trade to run. What happens if the second
1392
1393 349
1394 00:24:44,579 ~-~-> 00:24:47,189
1395 portion captures the average daily range? Now the average
1396
1397 350
1398 00:24:47,189 ~-~-> 00:24:49,619
1399 daily range for the sake of argument we're just going to use
1400
1401 351
1402 00:24:49,619 ~-~-> 00:24:50,459
1403 is 100 pips.
1404
1405 352
1406 00:24:52,200 ~-~-> 00:24:55,020
1407 Now, that would equate to if you just did this
1408
1409 353
1410 00:24:56,759 ~-~-> 00:24:59,879
1411 once per week, okay, now don't look at the daily three
1412
1413 354
1414 00:24:59,879 ~-~-> 00:25:02,309
1415 times. For a week or twice a week on numbers, we'll block
1416
1417 355
1418 00:25:02,309 ~-~-> 00:25:06,299
1419 that out here. But the weekly number that 100 that's going
1420
1421 356
1422 00:25:06,299 ~-~-> 00:25:09,479
1423 to be more or less equate to one solid trade for the week
1424
1425 357
1426 00:25:09,509 ~-~-> 00:25:13,829
1427 where you nail down one average daily range or collect 100
1428
1429 358
1430 00:25:13,829 ~-~-> 00:25:18,869
1431 pips in other words in terms of intraday trade. That would
1432
1433 359
1434 00:25:18,869 ~-~-> 00:25:21,869
1435 equate to 20%.
1436
1437 360
1438 00:25:23,940 ~-~-> 00:25:24,660
1439 Now think
1440
1441 361
1442 00:25:25,920 ~-~-> 00:25:32,160
1443 20% plus 6%. What are you making? We'll get that in a
1444
1445 362
1446 00:25:32,160 ~-~-> 00:25:37,830
1447 moment. But if we able to do this, our money 1% risk grows
1448
1449 363
1450 00:25:38,040 ~-~-> 00:25:45,180
1451 exponentially. Now taking both of those examples together
1452
1453 364
1454 00:25:45,180 ~-~-> 00:25:48,600
1455 and assuming ideal scenarios at the end, or both are
1456
1457 365
1458 00:25:48,600 ~-~-> 00:25:53,610
1459 profitable, that would equate to about 26% return your
1460
1461 366
1462 00:25:53,610 ~-~-> 00:25:56,460
1463 20 $500 would grow to $40,000 in one year
1464
1465 367
1466 00:25:58,109 ~-~-> 00:25:59,639
1467 and 640,000 in two years.
1468
1469 368
1470 00:26:01,829 ~-~-> 00:26:05,219
1471 Notice that you're really not even risking more than 320
1472
1473 369
1474 00:26:05,219 ~-~-> 00:26:06,719
1475 average per Pip.
1476
1477 370
1478 00:26:47,400 ~-~-> 00:26:51,480
1479 Alright guys interest rates. That is the market's driving
1480
1481 371
1482 00:26:51,480 ~-~-> 00:26:53,850
1483 force, okay? If you've never learned about interest rates,
1484
1485 372
1486 00:26:53,850 ~-~-> 00:26:55,020
1487 you're gonna learn a little bit of that in this
1488
1489 373
1490 00:26:55,020 ~-~-> 00:26:58,170
1491 presentation. But what makes the markets go around whether
1492
1493 374
1494 00:26:58,170 ~-~-> 00:27:01,770
1495 it be stocks, commodities, you No forex it's all interest
1496
1497 375
1498 00:27:01,770 ~-~-> 00:27:05,460
1499 rates need to get to know the interest rate market okay
1500
1501 376
1502 00:27:05,460 ~-~-> 00:27:11,460
1503 because that will be the key to unlocking the mind. The
1504
1505 377
1506 00:27:11,460 ~-~-> 00:27:15,240
1507 entire global markets are interconnected and they spin on
1508
1509 378
1510 00:27:15,240 ~-~-> 00:27:20,760
1511 the gyrations in the interest rate market. Each country we
1512
1513 379
1514 00:27:20,760 ~-~-> 00:27:23,790
1515 trade currencies with has their own interest rates and thus
1516
1517 380
1518 00:27:23,790 ~-~-> 00:27:26,940
1519 these rates influence the demand or disenchantment with its
1520
1521 381
1522 00:27:27,180 ~-~-> 00:27:32,460
1523 own currency. The market will always seek yield and the
1524
1525 382
1526 00:27:32,460 ~-~-> 00:27:38,430
1527 higher the yield, the bigger the demand on average. There
1528
1529 383
1530 00:27:38,430 ~-~-> 00:27:41,100
1531 are several types of interest rates that traders can track
1532
1533 384
1534 00:27:41,100 ~-~-> 00:27:46,440
1535 and utilize to determine a trade idea. Understanding how
1536
1537 385
1538 00:27:46,440 ~-~-> 00:27:50,310
1539 they trade and the yields will make long term trends easier
1540
1541 386
1542 00:27:50,310 ~-~-> 00:27:51,000
1543 to determine.
1544
1545 387
1546 00:27:55,980 ~-~-> 00:27:58,050
1547 Interest Rate spreads and differentials.
1548
1549 388
1550 00:27:59,580 ~-~-> 00:28:01,830
1551 Alright guys, you Need to track the country's overnight
1552
1553 389
1554 00:28:01,830 ~-~-> 00:28:06,060
1555 lending rates? Okay, that's an it's one of the core
1556
1557 390
1558 00:28:06,060 ~-~-> 00:28:10,320
1559 principles to having long term trend analysis. And if you
1560
1561 391
1562 00:28:10,980 ~-~-> 00:28:15,180
1563 just Google any country and look for historical data, you
1564
1565 392
1566 00:28:15,180 ~-~-> 00:28:18,480
1567 can get that keep a spreadsheet. And you can do a whole lot
1568
1569 393
1570 00:28:18,480 ~-~-> 00:28:21,960
1571 with that information. It's not my goal to do that here. You
1572
1573 394
1574 00:28:21,960 ~-~-> 00:28:24,600
1575 can find sources on the internet to actually do these for
1576
1577 395
1578 00:28:24,600 ~-~-> 00:28:30,720
1579 you. But the currency markets, they more or less trend on
1580
1581 396
1582 00:28:30,720 ~-~-> 00:28:35,340
1583 long term basis based on interest rates. And understanding
1584
1585 397
1586 00:28:35,340 ~-~-> 00:28:38,130
1587 which country has higher interest rates and which have lower
1588
1589 398
1590 00:28:38,130 ~-~-> 00:28:41,820
1591 rates can be a differential play or carry trade. And not
1592
1593 399
1594 00:28:41,820 ~-~-> 00:28:45,450
1595 only can you trade profit by directional bias in your
1596
1597 400
1598 00:28:45,450 ~-~-> 00:28:48,330
1599 trading, but it also could be paid interest on top of that.
1600
1601 401
1602 00:28:50,640 ~-~-> 00:28:54,030
1603 If the country sees lower interest rates, this will weaken
1604
1605 402
1606 00:28:54,030 ~-~-> 00:28:57,930
1607 the base currency. At the con On the contrary, if the rates
1608
1609 403
1610 00:28:57,930 ~-~-> 00:29:00,390
1611 are increasing, this will prop up to come on trees in
1612
1613 404
1614 00:29:00,390 ~-~-> 00:29:09,150
1615 currency, million dollar futures insights, yes, seasonal
1616
1617 405
1618 00:29:09,150 ~-~-> 00:29:12,900
1619 tendencies. Now, some of you folks have already been
1620
1621 406
1622 00:29:12,900 ~-~-> 00:29:16,530
1623 introduced to this graph this is the British Pound seasonal
1624
1625 407
1626 00:29:16,530 ~-~-> 00:29:21,780
1627 tendency is a chart that I've had held dear to me for many
1628
1629 408
1630 00:29:21,780 ~-~-> 00:29:25,980
1631 years since 1995. I got this from Larry Williams
1632
1633 409
1634 00:29:26,310 ~-~-> 00:29:27,030
1635 course.
1636
1637 410
1638 00:29:27,449 ~-~-> 00:29:32,489
1639 And it was among other seasonal tendencies, but because I've
1640
1641 411
1642 00:29:32,489 ~-~-> 00:29:36,479
1643 grown to trade the British Pound more than any other pair.
1644
1645 412
1646 00:29:38,849 ~-~-> 00:29:42,569
1647 This seasonal tendency chart is kind of like, it gives you
1648
1649 413
1650 00:29:42,569 ~-~-> 00:29:46,769
1651 like a macro roadmap of what should transpire. Now, one of
1652
1653 414
1654 00:29:46,769 ~-~-> 00:29:49,709
1655 the most impressive concepts you can learn is the nature of
1656
1657 415
1658 00:29:49,709 ~-~-> 00:29:53,879
1659 seasonal tendencies in the marketplace. The commodity market
1660
1661 416
1662 00:29:53,879 ~-~-> 00:29:56,909
1663 is one such market that has a very cyclical seasonal
1664
1665 417
1666 00:29:56,909 ~-~-> 00:30:00,629
1667 tendencies that have an uncanny ability to forecast Major
1668
1669 418
1670 00:30:00,629 ~-~-> 00:30:05,129
1671 price swings. Now I have used seasonal tendencies for nearly
1672
1673 419
1674 00:30:05,129 ~-~-> 00:30:09,209
1675 20 years and they still amaze me. One such seasonal tendency
1676
1677 420
1678 00:30:09,209 ~-~-> 00:30:11,849
1679 is the British pound to make a major low in February to
1680
1681 421
1682 00:30:11,849 ~-~-> 00:30:16,769
1683 March, June, September, October in December, and major highs
1684
1685 422
1686 00:30:16,769 ~-~-> 00:30:17,639
1687 in April to May.
1688
1689 423
1690 00:30:20,819 ~-~-> 00:30:23,369
1691 This is also seen in stocks as well.
1692
1693 424
1694 00:30:29,910 ~-~-> 00:30:34,650
1695 Let's look at the comparison of the British pound. And since
1696
1697 425
1698 00:30:34,650 ~-~-> 00:30:37,530
1699 we've already learned at the interest rate market is what
1700
1701 426
1702 00:30:37,950 ~-~-> 00:30:41,190
1703 more or less pushes the markets all around. We're going to
1704
1705 427
1706 00:30:41,190 ~-~-> 00:30:44,280
1707 look at the US Treasuries. Yes, it does have a seasonal
1708
1709 428
1710 00:30:44,280 ~-~-> 00:30:48,510
1711 tendency. Now, I want to draw your attention to the fact
1712
1713 429
1714 00:30:48,510 ~-~-> 00:30:52,410
1715 that usually in April and May, if you look at the British
1716
1717 430
1718 00:30:52,410 ~-~-> 00:30:57,150
1719 Pound chart on the left, you can see that there's a red line
1720
1721 431
1722 00:30:57,540 ~-~-> 00:31:01,110
1723 and a blue line. Okay. And what that This is measuring the
1724
1725 432
1726 00:31:01,110 ~-~-> 00:31:04,440
1727 bullish years and the bearish years together to get a
1728
1729 433
1730 00:31:04,440 ~-~-> 00:31:09,210
1731 composite index. And the blue line is the 25 year historical
1732
1733 434
1734 00:31:09,210 ~-~-> 00:31:13,410
1735 data. And the red line is a 15 year historical data. So you
1736
1737 435
1738 00:31:13,410 ~-~-> 00:31:14,460
1739 can see over
1740
1741 436
1742 00:31:15,929 ~-~-> 00:31:18,809
1743 overall basically the seasonal tendencies pretty solid.
1744
1745 437
1746 00:31:20,730 ~-~-> 00:31:23,520
1747 It usually makes a rally of some kind late
1748
1749 438
1750 00:31:25,049 ~-~-> 00:31:30,359
1751 February, early March, and trades up into the April May time
1752
1753 439
1754 00:31:30,359 ~-~-> 00:31:32,279
1755 period where it makes a significant high and then trades
1756
1757 440
1758 00:31:32,279 ~-~-> 00:31:38,339
1759 down into the June timeframe. Well, if the bonds are
1760
1761 441
1762 00:31:38,339 ~-~-> 00:31:43,409
1763 inverse, okay, in other words, as currencies go down, the
1764
1765 442
1766 00:31:43,409 ~-~-> 00:31:45,749
1767 bond market or the futures market will go up.
1768
1769 443
1770 00:31:45,930 ~-~-> 00:31:46,290
1771 And
1772
1773 444
1774 00:31:46,320 ~-~-> 00:31:50,760
1775 while the bonds go up, the yield is inverted. So the yield
1776
1777 445
1778 00:31:50,760 ~-~-> 00:31:53,100
1779 would be going down while the bond goes up. And for
1780
1781 446
1782 00:31:53,100 ~-~-> 00:31:58,110
1783 instance, let's look at the April May time period on the
1784
1785 447
1786 00:31:58,110 ~-~-> 00:32:01,770
1787 bond and you can see that it Has seasonal tendency to rally
1788
1789 448
1790 00:32:02,280 ~-~-> 00:32:05,460
1791 that would indicate that interest rates would be going down.
1792
1793 449
1794 00:32:05,850 ~-~-> 00:32:10,530
1795 Okay? Now if interest rates are going down, that would drive
1796
1797 450
1798 00:32:10,530 ~-~-> 00:32:13,950
1799 What? currencies lower, there won't be any demand. So what
1800
1801 451
1802 00:32:13,950 ~-~-> 00:32:16,500
1803 will they be doing? It'll be a flight to quality that will
1804
1805 452
1806 00:32:16,500 ~-~-> 00:32:20,340
1807 rally the dollar. Okay? And that would be essentially a risk
1808
1809 453
1810 00:32:20,340 ~-~-> 00:32:26,820
1811 off scenario. Now look at January and February. Okay. In the
1812
1813 454
1814 00:32:26,820 ~-~-> 00:32:31,290
1815 bond market, we see the bonds are sliding down into the
1816
1817 455
1818 00:32:31,290 ~-~-> 00:32:36,030
1819 April May time period. That means that interest rates would
1820
1821 456
1822 00:32:36,030 ~-~-> 00:32:40,380
1823 be increasing. Now, if interest rates are increasing, that's
1824
1825 457
1826 00:32:40,380 ~-~-> 00:32:43,020
1827 going to have demand for foreign currency and it'll be a
1828
1829 458
1830 00:32:43,020 ~-~-> 00:32:46,830
1831 risk on scenario the dollar index will be falling at that
1832
1833 459
1834 00:32:46,830 ~-~-> 00:32:52,440
1835 time period. Okay. Look at January February time period. And
1836
1837 460
1838 00:32:52,440 ~-~-> 00:32:57,240
1839 you can see where in the 15 year basis, it was making lows
1840
1841 461
1842 00:32:57,270 ~-~-> 00:33:00,240
1843 and even in a 25 year basis, it was making lows where it Did
1844
1845 462
1846 00:33:00,240 ~-~-> 00:33:04,830
1847 rally up, and essentially around the march time period, it
1848
1849 463
1850 00:33:04,830 ~-~-> 00:33:07,920
1851 got in sync and maybe it's low, and then it'll trade up into
1852
1853 464
1854 00:33:07,920 ~-~-> 00:33:11,640
1855 that spring time period, making a high. So study these
1856
1857 465
1858 00:33:11,640 ~-~-> 00:33:14,610
1859 charts and you can see there's a huge advantage of having
1860
1861 466
1862 00:33:14,610 ~-~-> 00:33:18,450
1863 insight like this, because it can put you on one track to
1864
1865 467
1866 00:33:18,450 ~-~-> 00:33:21,240
1867 finding a long term trend. And this waiting for interest
1868
1869 468
1870 00:33:21,240 ~-~-> 00:33:22,590
1871 rates to get in sync with this.
1872
1873 469
1874 00:33:27,390 ~-~-> 00:33:28,920
1875 co2 and commercial trends.
1876
1877 470
1878 00:33:30,330 ~-~-> 00:33:31,710
1879 tracking the smart money.
1880
1881 471
1882 00:33:33,359 ~-~-> 00:33:36,539
1883 Okay, guys, you've probably seen this a few times in some
1884
1885 472
1886 00:33:36,539 ~-~-> 00:33:40,799
1887 other tutorials. But mainly, you wouldn't be looking at
1888
1889 473
1890 00:33:40,799 ~-~-> 00:33:43,229
1891 higher timeframe charts and you want to spend some time
1892
1893 474
1894 00:33:43,289 ~-~-> 00:33:46,079
1895 analyzing the net positions of the large commercial traders.
1896
1897 475
1898 00:33:46,409 ~-~-> 00:33:49,229
1899 You want to be looking at the trend where their net
1900
1901 476
1902 00:33:49,229 ~-~-> 00:33:52,979
1903 positions are moving, are they continuously moving higher
1904
1905 477
1906 00:33:52,979 ~-~-> 00:33:57,389
1907 low or higher, lower overall, bearish or bullish? In other
1908
1909 478
1910 00:33:57,389 ~-~-> 00:34:01,439
1911 words, are these swinging bullish Above the baseline zero
1912
1913 479
1914 00:34:01,439 ~-~-> 00:34:06,539
1915 line, okay doing uptrend or are they doing that during
1916
1917 480
1918 00:34:06,569 ~-~-> 00:34:08,969
1919 downtrend? Okay. And what we're doing we're looking at the
1920
1921 481
1922 00:34:08,969 ~-~-> 00:34:11,609
1923 higher timeframe weekly chart and determine if the price is
1924
1925 482
1926 00:34:11,609 ~-~-> 00:34:14,939
1927 going higher. And if it is, you won't be waiting for the
1928
1929 483
1930 00:34:14,969 ~-~-> 00:34:18,779
1931 commercials to be net long or extremely lightening up on
1932
1933 484
1934 00:34:18,779 ~-~-> 00:34:22,049
1935 their net short positions because that would equate to a
1936
1937 485
1938 00:34:22,049 ~-~-> 00:34:27,779
1939 bullish scenario. The trend on the weekly chart and the
1940
1941 486
1942 00:34:27,779 ~-~-> 00:34:31,259
1943 swings from net long to net short are very easy to spot and
1944
1945 487
1946 00:34:31,259 ~-~-> 00:34:34,319
1947 determine the long to intermediate term trends or direction.
1948
1949 488
1950 00:34:36,599 ~-~-> 00:34:39,269
1951 Looking for trades in this trend or directional bias will
1952
1953 489
1954 00:34:39,269 ~-~-> 00:34:42,089
1955 further increase your odds of capturing trades with large
1956
1957 490
1958 00:34:42,089 ~-~-> 00:34:44,219
1959 institutional sponsorship behind the moves.
1960
1961 491
1962 00:34:48,480 ~-~-> 00:34:49,500
1963 trading the news
1964
1965 492
1966 00:34:50,850 ~-~-> 00:34:53,520
1967 All right, I basically look at trading the news or
1968
1969 493
1970 00:34:54,120 ~-~-> 00:35:00,780
1971 news releases as volatility injections. Okay. Don't fear
1972
1973 494
1974 00:35:00,780 ~-~-> 00:35:04,320
1975 news, but I certainly respect it. There are certain reports
1976
1977 495
1978 00:35:04,320 ~-~-> 00:35:07,350
1979 and events that I more or less will step outside of and more
1980
1981 496
1982 00:35:07,350 ~-~-> 00:35:10,230
1983 trade. But one of the most difficult ways to trade the
1984
1985 497
1986 00:35:10,230 ~-~-> 00:35:14,580
1987 markets is to try to trade the news releases themselves. The
1988
1989 498
1990 00:35:14,580 ~-~-> 00:35:17,400
1991 internet is littered with so called robots or programs
1992
1993 499
1994 00:35:17,400 ~-~-> 00:35:20,130
1995 designed to quickly give you trading profits on a knee jerk
1996
1997 500
1998 00:35:20,130 ~-~-> 00:35:25,380
1999 reactions to the news. To me, this is pure and simple
2000
2001 501
2002 00:35:25,650 ~-~-> 00:35:30,030
2003 gambling. We can never know for sure what the numbers will
2004
2005 502
2006 00:35:30,030 ~-~-> 00:35:32,790
2007 be in the reports and the guests is just ridiculous.
2008
2009 503
2010 00:35:34,500 ~-~-> 00:35:38,070
2011 However, we can wait for the release in watch the reaction
2012
2013 504
2014 00:35:38,070 ~-~-> 00:35:41,220
2015 in many times a signal will form shortly after the release.
2016
2017 505
2018 00:35:41,670 ~-~-> 00:35:47,250
2019 Many times counter direction to the intended news hawks use
2020
2021 506
2022 00:35:47,250 ~-~-> 00:35:52,410
2023 news releases for injections and volatility and fuel trade
2024
2025 507
2026 00:35:52,410 ~-~-> 00:35:54,210
2027 ideas based on price action.
2028
2029 508
2030 00:35:59,640 ~-~-> 00:36:05,550
2031 Key Market moving indicators, key economic releases, okay,
2032
2033 509
2034 00:36:05,550 ~-~-> 00:36:10,650
2035 we're going to be looking at the US market, the UK market
2036
2037 510
2038 00:36:10,770 ~-~-> 00:36:14,610
2039 and the German market. Okay, we're gonna start with the UK,
2040
2041 511
2042 00:36:14,880 ~-~-> 00:36:21,000
2043 the British pound, daily rate decision, retail sales,
2044
2045 512
2046 00:36:21,030 ~-~-> 00:36:24,570
2047 consumer prices, claimant count, GDP and industrial
2048
2049 513
2050 00:36:24,570 ~-~-> 00:36:28,560
2051 production. Those are reports that I have on my calendar
2052
2053 514
2054 00:36:28,590 ~-~-> 00:36:32,190
2055 times when they're going to come out. And I will absolutely
2056
2057 515
2058 00:36:32,190 ~-~-> 00:36:36,510
2059 be aware of these and I will be more or less looking for
2060
2061 516
2062 00:36:36,510 ~-~-> 00:36:41,190
2063 trades to either be propelled in the direction that I've
2064
2065 517
2066 00:36:41,190 ~-~-> 00:36:45,270
2067 been prior to the report, or I'll be looking for a signal to
2068
2069 518
2070 00:36:45,270 ~-~-> 00:36:48,480
2071 generate shortly after one of these reports are released.
2072
2073 519
2074 00:36:56,460 ~-~-> 00:36:59,010
2075 All right, the US dollar we're gonna get the North American
2076
2077 520
2078 00:36:59,010 ~-~-> 00:36:59,460
2079 market

2082 00:37:01,470 ~-~-> 00:37:04,620
2083 Federal Reserve rates, retail sales consumer and producer

2085 522
2086 00:37:04,650 ~-~-> 00:37:08,010
2087 prices, non farm payroll I avoid that I do not touch it
2088
2089 523

2091 gross domestic product GDP trade balance consumer confidence

2095 reports and service and manufacturing ICM you want to note
2096
2097 525
2098 00:37:16,560 ~-~-> 00:37:19,740
2099 these as well because all of your crosses with the dollar
2100
2101 526
2102 00:37:20,130 ~-~-> 00:37:21,750
2103 will be impacted by this as well.
2104
2105 527
2106 00:37:31,050 ~-~-> 00:37:33,540
2107 Okay the German market we're gonna look at the euros
2108

2116

2120
2121 531
2122 00:37:45,180 ~-~-> 00:37:47,880
2123 time they're gonna be released and be aware of these because
2124
2125 532
2126 00:37:47,880 ~-~-> 00:37:50,430
2127 these absolutely will move the market considerably.
2128
2129 533
2130 00:37:55,200 ~-~-> 00:37:56,910
2131 I plan for news impact.
2132
2133 534
2134 00:37:58,830 ~-~-> 00:38:02,610
2135 You have to have awareness of your economic calendar folks.
2136
2137 535
2138 00:38:05,100 ~-~-> 00:38:07,380
2139 Now there are a few resources that you can use to determine
2140
2141 536
2142 00:38:07,380 ~-~-> 00:38:10,230
2143 when high impact news will release and hit the market.
2144
2145 537
2146 00:38:11,400 ~-~-> 00:38:14,130
2147 Number one, obviously baby pips, coms calendar,
2148
2149 538
2150 00:38:16,379 ~-~-> 00:38:18,929
2151 forex factory comm calendar.
2152
2153 539
2154 00:38:20,670 ~-~-> 00:38:24,270
2155 And you can actually Google econo day calendars. You can
2156
2157 540
2158 00:38:24,270 ~-~-> 00:38:29,370
2159 find some at Bloomberg and a few other resources, but they
2160
2161 541
2162 00:38:29,370 ~-~-> 00:38:31,140
2163 have a very good format. And I like that they're
2164
2165 542
2166 00:38:31,440 ~-~-> 00:38:32,430
2167 very user friendly.
2168
2169 543
2170 00:38:34,470 ~-~-> 00:38:37,890
2171 And if for more information on this topic, and if you have
2172
2173 544
2174 00:38:37,890 ~-~-> 00:38:41,100
2175 any more interest on interest rates, I would recommend that
2176
2177 545
2178 00:38:41,100 ~-~-> 00:38:44,970
2179 Chris Lori's inside the banks webinar. I purchased this A
2180
2181 546
2182 00:38:44,970 ~-~-> 00:38:48,570
2183 number of years ago and I was very impressed with his
2184
2185 547
2186 00:38:49,950 ~-~-> 00:38:56,400
2187 presentation on the banking level in terms of interest rates
2188
2189 548
2190 00:38:56,400 ~-~-> 00:39:00,630
2191 and how they move and propel the marketplace. So if This
2192
2193 549
2194 00:39:00,630 ~-~-> 00:39:01,890
2195 isn't if this isn't,
2196
2197 550
2198 00:39:03,180 ~-~-> 00:39:05,190
2199 more or less get to the
2200
2201 551
2202 00:39:06,509 ~-~-> 00:39:10,199
2203 understanding you're looking for. I would counsel you to,
2204
2205 552
2206 00:39:10,229 ~-~-> 00:39:12,989
2207 you know, do a little investment in your career, and it's
2208
2209 553
2210 00:39:12,989 ~-~-> 00:39:15,479
2211 not much money at all. But it absolutely is a wonderful
2212
2213 554
2214 00:39:15,479 ~-~-> 00:39:19,259
2215 resource. It doesn't really good job in that webinar. You
2216
2217 555
2218 00:39:19,259 ~-~-> 00:39:24,059
2219 can reach Chris Laurie at Chris laurie.com. And you can get
2220
2221 556
2222 00:39:24,059 ~-~-> 00:39:27,989
2223 his webinar from his website. He's actually the only one
2224
2225 557
2226 00:39:27,989 ~-~-> 00:39:33,209
2227 that I recommend any folks buy material from? I have
2228
2229 558
2230 00:39:33,569 ~-~-> 00:39:38,669
2231 everything but his Aussie yen course and I just don't trade
2232
2233 559
2234 00:39:38,669 ~-~-> 00:39:41,009
2235 yen crosses, otherwise, I probably would have bought that as
2236
2237 560
2238 00:39:41,009 ~-~-> 00:39:45,029
2239 well. He does a really good job of teaching. He's very, very
2240
2241 561
2242 00:39:45,029 ~-~-> 00:39:48,209
2243 interested in your success. And that separates him as far as
2244
2245 562
2246 00:39:48,209 ~-~-> 00:39:52,169
2247 my concern from all the other folks out there. So you know,
2248
2249 563
2250 00:39:52,679 ~-~-> 00:39:53,399
2251 kudos to him.
2252
2253 564
2254 00:40:33,150 ~-~-> 00:40:36,390
2255 Alright guys, 30 year treasuries and tea notes. Okay, now
2256
2257 565
2258 00:40:36,390 ~-~-> 00:40:39,120
2259 some of my best concepts are found in my early days as a
2260
2261 566
2262 00:40:39,120 ~-~-> 00:40:42,720
2263 futures trader and the bond market is a big market and it
2264
2265 567
2266 00:40:42,720 ~-~-> 00:40:46,410
2267 provides so much insight and leading information. Now, I
2268
2269 568
2270 00:40:46,410 ~-~-> 00:40:48,810
2271 don't trade bonds anymore, but I absolutely monitor the
2272
2273 569
2274 00:40:48,810 ~-~-> 00:40:51,450
2275 futures on a daily basis. This market can tell you
2276
2277 570
2278 00:40:51,480 ~-~-> 00:40:54,300
2279 everything you need to know in any market asset class if you
2280
2281 571
2282 00:40:54,300 ~-~-> 00:40:57,000
2283 understand it. The scope of the bond market is not the
2284
2285 572
2286 00:40:57,000 ~-~-> 00:41:00,150
2287 objective here, but we will use it to discover some rap are
2288
2289 573
2290 00:41:00,150 ~-~-> 00:41:03,390
2291 impressive techniques to ferret out some blockbuster trades.
2292
2293 574
2294 00:41:06,570 ~-~-> 00:41:10,410
2295 10 year Treasury notes, okay, much like the 30 year treasury
2296
2297 575
2298 00:41:10,410 ~-~-> 00:41:14,130
2299 bond, I used these early on in my career as a futures
2300
2301 576
2302 00:41:14,130 ~-~-> 00:41:20,190
2303 trader. And there's a little caveat to understand the the
2304
2305 577
2306 00:41:20,190 ~-~-> 00:41:22,560
2307 bond market, whenever you see the price chart on the
2308
2309 578
2310 00:41:22,560 ~-~-> 00:41:28,980
2311 futures, when they rally up, they will have an inverse
2312
2313 579
2314 00:41:28,980 ~-~-> 00:41:31,680
2315 relationship. In other words, as the price data goes higher,
2316
2317 580
2318 00:41:32,130 ~-~-> 00:41:35,220
2319 the yield will actually be going down. So you have to have
2320
2321 581
2322 00:41:35,220 ~-~-> 00:41:39,030
2323 that in your mind. Now, since I trade the cable and the
2324
2325 582
2326 00:41:39,030 ~-~-> 00:41:44,130
2327 fiber exclusively, you know, I trade tracking the German 10
2328
2329 583
2330 00:41:44,130 ~-~-> 00:41:50,640
2331 year bond as well. The five year Treasury note much like the
2332
2333 584
2334 00:41:50,640 ~-~-> 00:41:55,620
2335 10 year and 30 year and when price runs up on the contract
2336
2337 585
2338 00:41:55,800 ~-~-> 00:42:00,000
2339 price on the futures market. The yield will be basically the
2340
2341 586
2342 00:42:00,000 ~-~-> 00:42:03,300
2343 creasing are dropping and obviously if the chart would be
2344
2345 587
2346 00:42:03,300 ~-~-> 00:42:06,060
2347 dropping on the futures, that would mean the yield would be
2348
2349 588
2350 00:42:06,060 ~-~-> 00:42:10,830
2351 increasing as well. And much like the 10 year I also track
2352
2353 589
2354 00:42:10,830 ~-~-> 00:42:15,450
2355 the five year German bond as well. And two year Treasury
2356
2357 590
2358 00:42:15,450 ~-~-> 00:42:20,070
2359 note much like the five year and 10 year I track that on a
2360
2361 591
2362 00:42:20,070 ~-~-> 00:42:25,620
2363 German basis as well and by having an understanding of all
2364
2365 592
2366 00:42:25,620 ~-~-> 00:42:29,340
2367 three of those we can find some pretty neat things we're
2368
2369 593
2370 00:42:29,340 ~-~-> 00:42:30,660
2371 going to learn about here shortly
2372
2373 594
2374 00:42:32,220 ~-~-> 00:42:34,500
2375 obviously goes without saying the US Dollar index
2376
2377 595
2378 00:42:36,900 ~-~-> 00:42:41,250
2379 i like daily FX calm if you go to the net Dania charting now
2380
2381 596
2382 00:42:41,280 ~-~-> 00:42:45,930
2383 do not go to net Dania calm Okay, it's very important. Go to
2384
2385 597
2386 00:42:45,930 ~-~-> 00:42:49,380
2387 daily FX calm and use the net Dania charting it's free.
2388
2389 598
2390 00:42:49,710 ~-~-> 00:42:54,540
2391 Okay, and you open up a US Dollar Index chart, and it'll
2392
2393 599
2394 00:42:54,540 ~-~-> 00:42:58,590
2395 give you what I like to see in terms of the US Dollar Index
2396
2397 600
2398 00:43:01,410 ~-~-> 00:43:06,600
2399 I look at the cash basis also. And the chart to the right
2400
2401 601
2402 00:43:06,600 ~-~-> 00:43:09,720
2403 here. This is the futures chart of the United States Dollar
2404
2405 602
2406 00:43:09,720 ~-~-> 00:43:16,380
2407 Index. If you like these types of charts, and you want to
2408
2409 603
2410 00:43:16,380 ~-~-> 00:43:18,780
2411 subscribe to them, it's not very expensive or things like
2412
2413 604
2414 00:43:18,780 ~-~-> 00:43:23,520
2415 $25 a month, but you can get that at price charts calm. You
2416
2417 605
2418 00:43:23,520 ~-~-> 00:43:26,370
2419 don't need to pay for futures charts, but I do prefer this
2420
2421 606
2422 00:43:26,370 ~-~-> 00:43:30,480
2423 format because I'm used to reading them since 1990s. I've
2424
2425 607
2426 00:43:30,480 ~-~-> 00:43:35,100
2427 just grown accustomed to having them in my repertoire. Now I
2428
2429 608
2430 00:43:35,100 ~-~-> 00:43:38,100
2431 like to use SMT concepts to spot diverging highs and lows
2432
2433 609
2434 00:43:38,100 ~-~-> 00:43:41,100
2435 between the US dx and relative price points in the fiber and
2436
2437 610
2438 00:43:41,100 ~-~-> 00:43:46,890
2439 cable. And you knew that as my us dx SMT and I look for the
2440
2441 611
2442 00:43:46,890 ~-~-> 00:43:54,000
2443 bond and us dx SMT as well. Major stock market indices,
2444
2445 612
2446 00:43:54,300 ~-~-> 00:43:56,910
2447 okay, the major stock market indices are one of my favorite
2448
2449 613
2450 00:43:56,910 ~-~-> 00:44:00,720
2451 tools to gauge long term price swings. If we are failing and
2452
2453 614
2454 00:44:00,720 ~-~-> 00:44:03,480
2455 highs on the daily charts as we see here in the image to the
2456
2457 615
2458 00:44:03,480 ~-~-> 00:44:07,950
2459 right. This suggests a possible risk off scenario. Expect
2460
2461 616
2462 00:44:07,950 ~-~-> 00:44:11,640
2463 weaker stock prices and possibly foreign currencies. The US
2464
2465 617
2466 00:44:11,640 ~-~-> 00:44:15,150
2467 Dollar index will confirm this with a rally at support. At
2468
2469 618
2470 00:44:15,150 ~-~-> 00:44:19,140
2471 the same juncture, simply reverse for risk on scenarios. The
2472
2473 619
2474 00:44:19,140 ~-~-> 00:44:22,290
2475 markets as a whole are interconnected and it pays to monitor
2476
2477 620
2478 00:44:22,290 ~-~-> 00:44:29,190
2479 them and hunt for clues. The CRB Commodity Index, okay, now
2480
2481 621
2482 00:44:29,190 ~-~-> 00:44:32,670
2483 I usually watch this on the cash basis. And you can get that
2484
2485 622
2486 00:44:32,670 ~-~-> 00:44:35,970
2487 from the price charts calm. I'm sure if you do a google you
2488
2489 623
2490 00:44:35,970 ~-~-> 00:44:38,280
2491 probably find that as well. But again, I just really like
2492
2493 624
2494 00:44:38,280 ~-~-> 00:44:41,340
2495 this, this chart, I think it's real crisp, and we print them
2496
2497 625
2498 00:44:41,340 ~-~-> 00:44:43,830
2499 out. There's nothing like printing out charts and marking
2500
2501 626
2502 00:44:43,830 ~-~-> 00:44:47,520
2503 them up by hand. I'm like Flintstone caveman. I like being
2504
2505 627
2506 00:44:47,520 ~-~-> 00:44:50,790
2507 able to carve up, you know, some notes and draw my charts.
2508
2509 628
2510 00:44:50,820 ~-~-> 00:44:53,700
2511 You know, I like sharing with you guys electronically. But
2512
2513 629
2514 00:44:53,970 ~-~-> 00:44:55,890
2515 you know, if it's going to be a matter of preference, I
2516
2517 630
2518 00:44:55,890 ~-~-> 00:44:58,830
2519 would love to have you printed charts every single day.
2520
2521 631
2522 00:44:58,830 ~-~-> 00:45:04,770
2523 That's this is my My opinion really, now I like the CRB
2524
2525 632
2526 00:45:04,770 ~-~-> 00:45:07,560
2527 index, because it usually has a inverse relationship to the
2528
2529 633
2530 00:45:07,560 ~-~-> 00:45:11,070
2531 dollar index. And I like to confirm a swing higher in dollar
2532
2533 634
2534 00:45:11,400 ~-~-> 00:45:16,680
2535 with shorting fiber and or cable with a CRB decline. Now the
2536
2537 635
2538 00:45:16,680 ~-~-> 00:45:19,890
2539 CRB index tends to be a little bit early and can one of
2540
2541 636
2542 00:45:19,890 ~-~-> 00:45:23,220
2543 possible long term shifts in the trend. It's a dynamite tool
2544
2545 637
2546 00:45:23,220 ~-~-> 00:45:25,950
2547 to use for major market analysis and pinning down long to
2548
2549 638
2550 00:45:25,950 ~-~-> 00:45:32,310
2551 intermediate term directional bias. All right, well in gold
2552
2553 639
2554 00:45:32,340 ~-~-> 00:45:34,290
2555 now, I like looking at these two markets, I don't trade
2556
2557 640
2558 00:45:34,290 ~-~-> 00:45:37,590
2559 them. But I'd like to use them as barometers more or less to
2560
2561 641
2562 00:45:37,590 ~-~-> 00:45:41,580
2563 see if there's risk on a risk off scenario is underway. And
2564
2565 642
2566 00:45:42,120 ~-~-> 00:45:45,300
2567 basically, you want to be looking at the same way that you
2568
2569 643
2570 00:45:45,300 ~-~-> 00:45:49,260
2571 know, foreign currencies and CRB all those markets should be
2572
2573 644
2574 00:45:49,530 ~-~-> 00:45:51,060
2575 moving in tandem with both.
2576
2577 645
2578 00:45:58,200 ~-~-> 00:46:02,160
2579 Okay, we're looking at the Tina Note yields, okay, these are
2580
2581 646
2582 00:46:02,160 ~-~-> 00:46:08,070
2583 going to be the two year, five year and 10 year. And you can
2584
2585 647
2586 00:46:08,070 ~-~-> 00:46:12,450
2587 look at the legend up here to determine which is which as we
2588
2589 648
2590 00:46:12,450 ~-~-> 00:46:17,130
2591 go through. And what I'm highlighting here is when there is
2592
2593 649
2594 00:46:17,130 ~-~-> 00:46:23,010
2595 a divergence between these yields, okay, these are t note
2596
2597 650
2598 00:46:23,070 ~-~-> 00:46:27,360
2599 yields. And this line is not the T note price, it's the
2600
2601 651
2602 00:46:27,360 ~-~-> 00:46:31,260
2603 actual t note yield. So, the yield is actually inverse is an
2604
2605 652
2606 00:46:31,260 ~-~-> 00:46:35,250
2607 inversion of the futures charts price of the T note, okay,
2608
2609 653
2610 00:46:35,250 ~-~-> 00:46:39,600
2611 so I kind of monitor both, but the yield when you monitor it
2612
2613 654
2614 00:46:39,600 ~-~-> 00:46:45,690
2615 like this, it will basically mirror what foreign currencies
2616
2617 655
2618 00:46:45,690 ~-~-> 00:46:48,600
2619 should be doing. In other words, as the yields were
2620
2621 656
2622 00:46:48,600 ~-~-> 00:46:51,630
2623 increasing here, that would have been bullish for foreign
2624
2625 657
2626 00:46:51,630 ~-~-> 00:46:56,490
2627 currency and contrary as the yields drop, that would be
2628
2629 658
2630 00:46:56,520 ~-~-> 00:47:00,720
2631 bearish for foreign currencies. Okay. You You see these
2632
2633 659
2634 00:47:00,750 ~-~-> 00:47:03,540
2635 confirmations in your technicals on your charts. In other
2636
2637 660
2638 00:47:03,540 ~-~-> 00:47:09,090
2639 words, if there's a buy signal for foreign currencies and in
2640
2641 661
2642 00:47:09,090 ~-~-> 00:47:13,110
2643 your daily charts or respective timeframes that you trade,
2644
2645 662
2646 00:47:13,890 ~-~-> 00:47:18,570
2647 and there is a sell signal being confirmed in the US dollar,
2648
2649 663
2650 00:47:19,170 ~-~-> 00:47:22,380
2651 that is a confirmation that you probably got a, you know, a
2652
2653 664
2654 00:47:22,380 ~-~-> 00:47:26,520
2655 good probability of a nice swing for your respective
2656
2657 665
2658 00:47:26,520 ~-~-> 00:47:29,580
2659 timeframe. Now, what we're referring to here is a daily
2660
2661 666
2662 00:47:29,580 ~-~-> 00:47:33,420
2663 basis, this is really going to give you a buy, program or
2664
2665 667
2666 00:47:33,420 ~-~-> 00:47:37,980
2667 sell program. Okay, this is the beginnings of a buy program.
2668
2669 668
2670 00:47:38,370 ~-~-> 00:47:43,320
2671 This is the termination of a buy program and a beginning of
2672
2673 669
2674 00:47:43,320 ~-~-> 00:47:47,520
2675 a sell program. Now, the main thing I want you to focus on
2676
2677 670
2678 00:47:47,730 ~-~-> 00:47:51,960
2679 is that there's typically a three or four month cycle, okay?
2680
2681 671
2682 00:47:51,960 ~-~-> 00:47:55,140
2683 It's like almost like a quarterly effect that takes place in
2684
2685 672
2686 00:47:55,170 ~-~-> 00:47:58,740
2687 the yields and it's based basically on interest rates and
2688
2689 673
2690 00:47:59,610 ~-~-> 00:48:02,160
2691 macro Economics and things of that nature. But I'm not going
2692
2693 674
2694 00:48:02,160 ~-~-> 00:48:05,070
2695 to bore you with that here. But just basically, if you look
2696
2697 675
2698 00:48:05,070 ~-~-> 00:48:08,670
2699 at the charts, and on historical perspective, you'll see
2700
2701 676
2702 00:48:08,670 ~-~-> 00:48:13,260
2703 that that is, in fact, what happens on the average. And
2704
2705 677
2706 00:48:13,260 ~-~-> 00:48:16,020
2707 we're going to do is we're going to talk about at the time
2708
2709 678
2710 00:48:16,020 ~-~-> 00:48:21,510
2711 of this recording, this is June 2012. And what I'm looking
2712
2713 679
2714 00:48:21,510 ~-~-> 00:48:27,840
2715 at is trying to go over why we saw the precipitous slide in
2716
2717 680
2718 00:48:28,380 ~-~-> 00:48:32,190
2719 the foreign currency market, namely the British pound and
2720
2721 681
2722 00:48:32,310 ~-~-> 00:48:40,020
2723 the Euro, USD, pairs, cable and fiber. And we're gonna look
2724
2725 682
2726 00:48:40,020 ~-~-> 00:48:43,140
2727 at how that relates to these yields here, okay. And what
2728
2729 683
2730 00:48:43,140 ~-~-> 00:48:46,170
2731 we're looking at again, on this chart is the United States
2732
2733 684
2734 00:48:46,230 ~-~-> 00:48:49,920
2735 10 year, United States, five year in the United States, two
2736
2737 685
2738 00:48:49,920 ~-~-> 00:48:53,850
2739 year t notes. Okay, and again, these are the yields and
2740
2741 686
2742 00:48:53,850 ~-~-> 00:48:57,390
2743 basically what you're looking for is at a specific time,
2744
2745 687
2746 00:48:57,390 ~-~-> 00:49:01,350
2747 seasonally, and quarterly. There will be divergence that
2748
2749 688
2750 00:49:01,350 ~-~-> 00:49:06,300
2751 posts in these yields. And that looks like this. We have, it
2752
2753 689
2754 00:49:06,300 ~-~-> 00:49:09,210
2755 may be a little difficult to see I understand but the orange
2756
2757 690
2758 00:49:09,330 ~-~-> 00:49:14,670
2759 line here which is the two year, the high made back here is
2760
2761 691
2762 00:49:14,670 ~-~-> 00:49:19,860
2763 lower than the high made in March April time period. Okay,
2764
2765 692
2766 00:49:20,130 ~-~-> 00:49:21,840
2767 or actually in March 19.
2768
2769 693
2770 00:49:23,610 ~-~-> 00:49:24,150
2771 The
2772
2773 694
2774 00:49:24,899 ~-~-> 00:49:27,449
2775 high here on the 10 year
2776
2777 695
2778 00:49:31,080 ~-~-> 00:49:32,460
2779 was just about equal.
2780
2781 696
2782 00:49:35,250 ~-~-> 00:49:38,010
2783 And same thing here we have
2784
2785 697
2786 00:49:38,280 ~-~-> 00:49:38,730
2787 the
2788
2789 698
2790 00:49:39,030 ~-~-> 00:49:39,780
2791 five year
2792
2793 699
2794 00:49:41,940 ~-~-> 00:49:42,810
2795 just about equal.
2796
2797 700
2798 00:49:43,050 ~-~-> 00:49:46,230
2799 Okay, so we have a divergence between the two year five year
2800
2801 701
2802 00:49:46,230 ~-~-> 00:49:52,350
2803 and 10 year. Okay. That typically is a reason to start
2804
2805 702
2806 00:49:52,350 ~-~-> 00:49:56,190
2807 looking for other reasons to support a decline in yields
2808
2809 703
2810 00:49:56,190 ~-~-> 00:49:59,430
2811 which would represent a decline in foreign currency, any
2812
2813 704
2814 00:49:59,430 ~-~-> 00:50:03,600
2815 rally The US Dollar Index. Okay, so let's take a look at a
2816
2817 705
2818 00:50:03,600 ~-~-> 00:50:06,810
2819 few other examples and we're looking at the foreign bond
2820
2821 706
2822 00:50:06,810 ~-~-> 00:50:13,410
2823 markets. Right now we're looking at the five year notes on
2824
2825 707
2826 00:50:13,500 ~-~-> 00:50:18,930
2827 the UK 10 year, I'm sorry, UK five year note, the German
2828
2829 708
2830 00:50:18,930 ~-~-> 00:50:23,910
2831 five year note and against the United States five year
2832
2833 709
2834 00:50:24,150 ~-~-> 00:50:24,750
2835 Treasury note.
2836
2837 710
2838 00:50:26,250 ~-~-> 00:50:27,120
2839 Okay, and
2840
2841 711
2842 00:50:29,070 ~-~-> 00:50:33,210
2843 we're going to look at this time frame in here. Okay, going
2844
2845 712
2846 00:50:33,210 ~-~-> 00:50:35,160
2847 back to this chart real quick, just to reference again,
2848
2849 713
2850 00:50:36,180 ~-~-> 00:50:41,640
2851 we're looking in 2012, March, April time period. Okay, we're
2852
2853 714
2854 00:50:41,640 ~-~-> 00:50:45,990
2855 going to go and look at this area here. And what I want to
2856
2857 715
2858 00:50:45,990 ~-~-> 00:50:48,480
2859 draw your attention to is the fact that we had
2860
2861 716
2862 00:50:49,710 ~-~-> 00:50:50,280
2863 the
2864
2865 717
2866 00:50:51,270 ~-~-> 00:50:52,800
2867 US five year note
2868
2869 718
2870 00:50:53,910 ~-~-> 00:50:56,130
2871 higher, respectively
2872
2873 719
2874 00:50:58,020 ~-~-> 00:51:05,040
2875 while the German Five Year note was lower. And the UK five
2876
2877 720
2878 00:51:05,040 ~-~-> 00:51:09,390
2879 year note was lower. Okay. And what I'm gonna do is I'm
2880
2881 721
2882 00:51:09,390 ~-~-> 00:51:14,280
2883 gonna take off to UK so you can see there is a clear
2884
2885 722
2886 00:51:14,640 ~-~-> 00:51:17,520
2887 divergence between the US and the German metal sufficiently.
2888
2889 723
2890 00:51:17,520 ~-~-> 00:51:25,980
2891 So the divergence Okay, see the high here, too high on the
2892
2893 724
2894 00:51:25,980 ~-~-> 00:51:31,050
2895 red line, that's the German five year note. It's bearish
2896
2897 725
2898 00:51:32,220 ~-~-> 00:51:36,810
2899 while at the same time the US five year note was making a
2900
2901 726
2902 00:51:36,810 ~-~-> 00:51:42,690
2903 higher high in yield. Okay and then you saw them slide
2904
2905 727
2906 00:51:42,690 ~-~-> 00:51:52,410
2907 together that that is a yield SMT divergence. Okay, as I
2908
2909 728
2910 00:51:52,470 ~-~-> 00:51:54,900
2911 look at it, you can see a
2912
2913 729
2914 00:51:55,350 ~-~-> 00:51:56,340
2915 contrary
2916
2917 730
2918 00:51:57,030 ~-~-> 00:52:03,660
2919 signal here back in October. As of 2010, where the German
2920
2921 731
2922 00:52:03,660 ~-~-> 00:52:08,100
2923 five year note was failing to make lower lows in the yield.
2924
2925 732
2926 00:52:08,490 ~-~-> 00:52:12,720
2927 At the same time, the US five year note was making a lower
2928
2929 733
2930 00:52:12,720 ~-~-> 00:52:17,610
2931 low. Okay, and then we saw both yields increase together.
2932
2933 734
2934 00:52:18,060 ~-~-> 00:52:24,300
2935 And here the high, you saw an inability for the US to trade
2936
2937 735
2938 00:52:24,690 ~-~-> 00:52:29,460
2939 higher in yield while the German yield went higher, and you
2940
2941 736
2942 00:52:29,460 ~-~-> 00:52:33,330
2943 can see there was a shift in the major market sentiment. And
2944
2945 737
2946 00:52:33,330 ~-~-> 00:52:35,280
2947 that's really what this is measuring market sentiment
2948
2949 738
2950 00:52:35,430 ~-~-> 00:52:39,270
2951 because you're, you're chasing the yield. Okay. And the
2952
2953 739
2954 00:52:39,270 ~-~-> 00:52:41,970
2955 markets always going to seek yield. Okay, so if the yields
2956
2957 740
2958 00:52:42,390 ~-~-> 00:52:44,610
2959 are increasing, that's going to be bullish for major
2960
2961 741
2962 00:52:44,610 ~-~-> 00:52:46,860
2963 currencies, and it's going to be
2964
2965 742
2966 00:52:47,010 ~-~-> 00:52:49,020
2967 bearish for the dollar
2968
2969 743
2970 00:52:50,460 ~-~-> 00:52:53,550
2971 and vice versa. And we seen the same thing here and this
2972
2973 744
2974 00:52:53,550 ~-~-> 00:53:00,330
2975 April 2010. Okay, the US five year made higher highs While
2976
2977 745
2978 00:53:00,360 ~-~-> 00:53:05,220
2979 the German five year note was unable to make equivalent, new
2980
2981 746
2982 00:53:05,220 ~-~-> 00:53:08,580
2983 hot, and there was your shift, and notice this is happening
2984
2985 747
2986 00:53:08,910 ~-~-> 00:53:13,650
2987 march april time period. And we just recently at the time of
2988
2989 748
2990 00:53:13,650 ~-~-> 00:53:16,380
2991 this recording also had another divergence which is a
2992
2993 749
2994 00:53:16,380 ~-~-> 00:53:20,130
2995 continuation of this longer term downtrend in the yield. And
2996
2997 750
2998 00:53:20,130 ~-~-> 00:53:23,430
2999 again, here is a 10 year comparison we're going to compare
3000
3001 751
3002 00:53:23,430 ~-~-> 00:53:33,240
3003 the German which is the orange, the UK, green and the
3004
3005 752
3006 00:53:33,660 ~-~-> 00:53:38,010
3007 lighter Orange is the US 10 year Treasury note. Do you see
3008
3009 753
3010 00:53:38,010 ~-~-> 00:53:42,210
3011 the same thing happening here where the German was making
3012
3013 754
3014 00:53:42,210 ~-~-> 00:53:48,390
3015 higher highs while the US and UK 10 year notes were failing
3016
3017 755
3018 00:53:48,390 ~-~-> 00:53:51,600
3019 to make higher highs in their yield? And the same thing is
3020
3021 756
3022 00:53:51,600 ~-~-> 00:53:58,230
3023 also that low was formed in the fall of 2010. We saw the
3024
3025 757
3026 00:53:58,230 ~-~-> 00:54:02,940
3027 German 10 year failed to make lower lows in yield while the
3028
3029 758
3030 00:54:03,150 ~-~-> 00:54:07,830
3031 US Treasury made on its 10 year basis made a lower yield and
3032
3033 759
3034 00:54:07,830 ~-~-> 00:54:13,200
3035 the UK failed to make a lower yield also in that was your
3036
3037 760
3038 00:54:13,350 ~-~-> 00:54:16,440
3039 sentiment shift to bullish and that would have been looking
3040
3041 761
3042 00:54:16,440 ~-~-> 00:54:20,850
3043 for buy programs on major currencies and sell signals okay
3044
3045 762
3046 00:54:21,750 ~-~-> 00:54:24,150
3047 in the dollar, okay. In other words, the dollar would have
3048
3049 763
3050 00:54:24,150 ~-~-> 00:54:27,780
3051 been declining all during this period here. And at this
3052
3053 764
3054 00:54:27,930 ~-~-> 00:54:30,780
3055 point where we saw a major shift, okay and the yield
3056
3057 765
3058 00:54:30,780 ~-~-> 00:54:35,370
3059 diverged, the sentiment now was going to send the dollar
3060
3061 766
3062 00:54:35,730 ~-~-> 00:54:40,350
3063 bullish and then major currencies on the farm would be
3064
3065 767
3066 00:54:40,440 ~-~-> 00:54:44,760
3067 declining. So that would be a risk off scenario here or sell
3068
3069 768
3070 00:54:44,760 ~-~-> 00:54:50,160
3071 program from forex. And this is a bi program, okay,
3072
3073 769
3074 00:54:50,189 ~-~-> 00:54:52,379
3075 where the, the
3076
3077 770
3078 00:54:54,000 ~-~-> 00:54:57,420
3079 current foreign currency markets would be rallying and the
3080
3081 771
3082 00:54:57,420 ~-~-> 00:55:01,620
3083 US dollar at this time period would be declining. Okay, so
3084
3085 772
3086 00:55:01,920 ~-~-> 00:55:03,930
3087 it just basically think in terms of make it real easy for
3088
3089 773
3090 00:55:03,930 ~-~-> 00:55:07,620
3091 yourself, when the yields are going up. The foreign currency
3092
3093 774
3094 00:55:07,620 ~-~-> 00:55:10,620
3095 markets should be trailing in sympathy, okay? Because
3096
3097 775
3098 00:55:10,620 ~-~-> 00:55:13,140
3099 they're going to chase yield. And as the yields drop,
3100
3101 776
3102 00:55:13,260 ~-~-> 00:55:16,080
3103 foreign currencies are going to chase that down as well,
3104
3105 777
3106 00:55:16,080 ~-~-> 00:55:18,000
3107 there won't be any demand for that foreign currency and
3108
3109 778
3110 00:55:18,000 ~-~-> 00:55:21,780
3111 they'll be a flight to safety in the form of going back to
3112
3113 779
3114 00:55:21,780 ~-~-> 00:55:28,410
3115 the dollar and buying bonds. Okay. So, again, there's an
3116
3117 780
3118 00:55:28,410 ~-~-> 00:55:31,080
3119 inverse relationship between the bond market itself and the
3120
3121 781
3122 00:55:31,080 ~-~-> 00:55:34,890
3123 yield as bonds would go up, the yields would drop and vice
3124
3125 782
3126 00:55:34,890 ~-~-> 00:55:39,300
3127 versa. Okay. So it that's basically the panoramic view of a
3128
3129 783
3130 00:55:39,300 ~-~-> 00:55:43,530
3131 risk on risk off scenario and determining, buy and sell
3132
3133 784
3134 00:55:43,530 ~-~-> 00:55:49,140
3135 programs on the daily basis. And this is one really strong
3136
3137 785
3138 00:55:49,140 ~-~-> 00:55:53,250
3139 powerful way of keeping yourself in sync with the macro
3140
3141 786
3142 00:55:53,370 ~-~-> 00:55:55,890
3143 economic view. And you don't have to go through all this
3144
3145 787
3146 00:55:56,520 ~-~-> 00:55:59,430
3147 economic data. This is this is visual for you. You can see
3148
3149 788
3150 00:55:59,430 ~-~-> 00:56:02,730
3151 it happening. every three to four months, just look for a
3152
3153 789
3154 00:56:02,730 ~-~-> 00:56:06,450
3155 shift to occur. And when you start seeing these things occur
3156
3157 790
3158 00:56:06,450 ~-~-> 00:56:09,630
3159 on your on the yield, okay? That's when you want to be
3160
3161 791
3162 00:56:09,630 ~-~-> 00:56:11,820
3163 looking at your, your price charts and looking for maybe
3164
3165 792
3166 00:56:11,820 ~-~-> 00:56:16,470
3167 some top formations and some reversal scenarios. Okay? And
3168
3169 793
3170 00:56:16,710 ~-~-> 00:56:19,380
3171 same thing in here. So we're using seasonal tendencies,
3172
3173 794
3174 00:56:19,530 ~-~-> 00:56:26,640
3175 cyclical analysis and the yield analysis where the market
3176
3177 795
3178 00:56:26,640 ~-~-> 00:56:29,430
3179 will always seek yield and if yields are dropping, that's
3180
3181 796
3182 00:56:29,430 ~-~-> 00:56:32,190
3183 going to be bearish for major currencies and bullish for the
3184
3185 797
3186 00:56:32,190 ~-~-> 00:56:32,850
3187 US dollar.
3188
3189 798
3190 00:57:16,920 ~-~-> 00:57:20,040
3191 Key support and resistance, you got to know your key levels
3192
3193 799
3194 00:57:20,040 ~-~-> 00:57:23,010
3195 guys. If you don't have a firm grasp on support resistance,
3196
3197 800
3198 00:57:23,370 ~-~-> 00:57:26,070
3199 all this is going to be a waste of time because none of your
3200
3201 801
3202 00:57:26,070 ~-~-> 00:57:29,190
3203 signals are ever going to confirm entry or exit unless they
3204
3205 802
3206 00:57:29,190 ~-~-> 00:57:32,880
3207 get to on these key levels. The cornerstone to your success
3208
3209 803
3210 00:57:32,880 ~-~-> 00:57:35,580
3211 in trading will be your patience in determining high
3212
3213 804
3214 00:57:35,580 ~-~-> 00:57:38,670
3215 timeframe key support resistance levels, and waiting for the
3216
3217 805
3218 00:57:38,670 ~-~-> 00:57:42,120
3219 setups to form at those same levels. Once you have
3220
3221 806
3222 00:57:42,120 ~-~-> 00:57:45,390
3223 directional bias based on the major market analysis, you
3224
3225 807
3226 00:57:45,390 ~-~-> 00:57:48,630
3227 identify key price levels from the 60 minute chart up to the
3228
3229 808
3230 00:57:48,630 ~-~-> 00:57:52,140
3231 monthly nothing less than a 60 minute chart and ideally, the
3232
3233 809
3234 00:57:52,140 ~-~-> 00:57:56,730
3235 daily basis is optimal. Determined monthly, weekly previous
3236
3237 810
3238 00:57:56,730 ~-~-> 00:58:00,000
3239 day's session highs and lows as well as pivot levels and age
3240
3241 811
3242 00:58:00,000 ~-~-> 00:58:08,460
3243 Marines highs and lows, market sentiment, you have to avoid
3244
3245 812
3246 00:58:08,580 ~-~-> 00:58:12,660
3247 them a herd mentality. if everybody's doing it, it's
3248
3249 813
3250 00:58:12,660 ~-~-> 00:58:15,570
3251 probably not a good thing in the futures market or Forex.
3252
3253 814
3254 00:58:15,930 ~-~-> 00:58:18,720
3255 It's usually probably petered out. And so you want to be
3256
3257 815
3258 00:58:18,720 ~-~-> 00:58:23,250
3259 looking to trade against the majority. Now when decided to
3260
3261 816
3262 00:58:23,250 ~-~-> 00:58:25,590
3263 take action in the market, it is important to remain on the
3264
3265 817
3266 00:58:25,590 ~-~-> 00:58:30,870
3267 side of the market that is the minority. Looking for trades
3268
3269 818
3270 00:58:30,870 ~-~-> 00:58:34,410
3271 when the market is by all parents bullish when you want to
3272
3273 819
3274 00:58:34,410 ~-~-> 00:58:37,890
3275 short is ideal. And you might have already guessed it, when
3276
3277 820
3278 00:58:37,890 ~-~-> 00:58:42,960
3279 it looks bearish, do your buying. This might sound rather
3280
3281 821
3282 00:58:42,960 ~-~-> 00:58:45,900
3283 obvious and elementary but consider how little actually
3284
3285 822
3286 00:58:46,260 ~-~-> 00:58:51,720
3287 followed this mindset. Consider the intraday Judas swing for
3288
3289 823
3290 00:58:51,720 ~-~-> 00:58:55,020
3291 example. This is a sentiment play by all standards, and it's
3292
3293 824
3294 00:58:55,020 ~-~-> 00:58:58,500
3295 used to quantify an entry in the opposite direction.
3296
3297 825
3298 00:59:04,319 ~-~-> 00:59:10,379
3299 market structure, hunt intermediate term price swings. If
3300
3301 826
3302 00:59:10,379 ~-~-> 00:59:13,829
3303 you find all of your trading occurring at long term
3304
3305 827
3306 00:59:13,829 ~-~-> 00:59:16,439
3307 intermediate term price swings, you're going to find that
3308
3309 828
3310 00:59:16,439 ~-~-> 00:59:21,869
3311 your trading is absolutely mind blowing. The ideal setups
3312
3313 829
3314 00:59:21,869 ~-~-> 00:59:24,809
3315 for trading low risk high probability swings is to limit
3316
3317 830
3318 00:59:24,809 ~-~-> 00:59:27,449
3319 your consideration to only trade the intermediate term highs
3320
3321 831
3322 00:59:27,479 ~-~-> 00:59:31,979
3323 for shorts and intermediate term lows for Long's. Taking
3324
3325 832
3326 00:59:31,979 ~-~-> 00:59:35,129
3327 short term scalps and or day trades in the same direction is
3328
3329 833
3330 00:59:35,129 ~-~-> 00:59:39,419
3331 advised. Your trading plan is not to capture every move in
3332
3333 834
3334 00:59:39,419 ~-~-> 00:59:45,179
3335 the market, just the easy low hanging fruit. Using daily
3336
3337 835
3338 00:59:45,179 ~-~-> 00:59:48,119
3339 four hour and hourly market structure and nesting fractals
3340
3341 836
3342 00:59:48,239 ~-~-> 00:59:51,719
3343 can be a wildly profitable price action approach. This is my
3344
3345 837
3346 00:59:51,719 ~-~-> 00:59:53,189
3347 core price action concepts
3348
3349 838
3350 00:59:57,510 ~-~-> 00:59:59,190
3351 open interest and premiums
3352
3353 839
3354 01:00:00,630 ~-~-> 01:00:03,960
3355 open interest reflects Smart Money activity. And open
3356
3357 840
3358 01:00:03,960 ~-~-> 01:00:06,450
3359 interest is basically only going to be found in the futures
3360
3361 841
3362 01:00:06,450 ~-~-> 01:00:09,930
3363 market. And the open interest in for instance, is example
3364
3365 842
3366 01:00:09,930 ~-~-> 01:00:12,090
3367 here. Okay, in this example, we're looking at the Swiss
3368
3369 843
3370 01:00:12,090 ~-~-> 01:00:16,650
3371 franc. And what I've noted here is that price had ran up,
3372
3373 844
3374 01:00:16,650 ~-~-> 01:00:20,160
3375 it's been an uptrend and we moved into a trading range.
3376
3377 845
3378 01:00:20,490 ~-~-> 01:00:26,970
3379 Okay? And if you look at the circle here, that is open
3380
3381 846
3382 01:00:26,970 ~-~-> 01:00:30,840
3383 interest, that cumulative line that goes along, and all of a
3384
3385 847
3386 01:00:30,840 ~-~-> 01:00:34,200
3387 sudden drops off precipitously drops straight down. Okay,
3388
3389 848
3390 01:00:34,680 ~-~-> 01:00:37,320
3391 that is open interest declining while the market is in a
3392
3393 849
3394 01:00:37,320 ~-~-> 01:00:43,500
3395 range. What do you think that translates to? Well, this is a
3396
3397 850
3398 01:00:43,500 ~-~-> 01:00:46,020
3399 concept that I adopted from Larry Williams and it still
3400
3401 851
3402 01:00:46,020 ~-~-> 01:00:49,350
3403 served me well today. The open interest while in a market
3404
3405 852
3406 01:00:49,410 ~-~-> 01:00:52,620
3407 market consolidation or range can tip the hand of the smart
3408
3409 853
3410 01:00:52,620 ~-~-> 01:00:57,090
3411 money if you understand what to look for. If the open
3412
3413 854
3414 01:00:57,090 ~-~-> 01:01:00,000
3415 interest drops off, 20% or more rapidly, this is a trick
3416
3417 855
3418 01:01:00,000 ~-~-> 01:01:03,180
3419 tributed to commercial short covering, if open interest
3420
3421 856
3422 01:01:03,180 ~-~-> 01:01:06,810
3423 increases 20% or more rapidly in a consolidation, this is
3424
3425 857
3426 01:01:06,810 ~-~-> 01:01:10,230
3427 commercial short selling. Commercial traders are the largest
3428
3429 858
3430 01:01:10,290 ~-~-> 01:01:12,960
3431 hedgers in the marketplace. And when you hedge, you're
3432
3433 859
3434 01:01:12,960 ~-~-> 01:01:15,510
3435 essentially shorting the market, you're selling something
3436
3437 860
3438 01:01:15,510 ~-~-> 01:01:19,920
3439 you already have. So, if open interest declines, that means
3440
3441 861
3442 01:01:19,920 ~-~-> 01:01:22,830
3443 that they're lightening up aggressively on their shorts. Why
3444
3445 862
3446 01:01:22,830 ~-~-> 01:01:25,920
3447 would they do that? Because they anticipate price going
3448
3449 863
3450 01:01:25,920 ~-~-> 01:01:30,420
3451 higher. When you have a premium in the futures contracts,
3452
3453 864
3454 01:01:30,630 ~-~-> 01:01:34,140
3455 that means the nearby contract is selling at a higher price
3456
3457 865
3458 01:01:34,230 ~-~-> 01:01:38,940
3459 than the next month out in the future. That is a premium.
3460
3461 866
3462 01:01:39,030 ~-~-> 01:01:42,210
3463 Okay, that means there's a high demand for that particular
3464
3465 867
3466 01:01:42,210 ~-~-> 01:01:46,920
3467 commodity or currency. If you see open interest dropping off
3468
3469 868
3470 01:01:46,920 ~-~-> 01:01:49,860
3471 in that scenario, this is a near perfect trade scenario you
3472
3473 869
3474 01:01:49,860 ~-~-> 01:01:56,190
3475 need to be buying. And as a result, this was a mega trade.
3476
3477 870
3478 01:01:56,250 ~-~-> 01:01:59,160
3479 This is in 2010. If you look at your charts around the
3480
3481 871
3482 01:01:59,160 ~-~-> 01:02:03,330
3483 Fourth of July in two 2010 you can see how in the FX market,
3484
3485 872
3486 01:02:03,570 ~-~-> 01:02:09,900
3487 the pair for the swissy fell out of bed like a rock. This
3488
3489 873
3490 01:02:09,900 ~-~-> 01:02:13,200
3491 trade in the futures market actually moved 2300 points, and
3492
3493 874
3494 01:02:13,200 ~-~-> 01:02:16,950
3495 it did less than half of two months. And the open interest
3496
3497 875
3498 01:02:16,950 ~-~-> 01:02:21,510
3499 dropped while in the range its support at 118. And it was in
3500
3501 876
3502 01:02:21,510 ~-~-> 01:02:25,200
3503 an existing trend already. And that's an absolutely mind
3504
3505 877
3506 01:02:25,200 ~-~-> 01:02:29,340
3507 boggling profit. And if you have that type of scenario
3508
3509 878
3510 01:02:29,340 ~-~-> 01:02:31,200
3511 unfold in the marketplace and you see a couple of these
3512
3513 879
3514 01:02:31,200 ~-~-> 01:02:34,860
3515 happen a year, you can really absolutely kill it catch some
3516
3517 880
3518 01:02:34,860 ~-~-> 01:02:37,830
3519 explosive price moves. So I would counsel you to look at
3520
3521 881
3522 01:02:37,830 ~-~-> 01:02:40,080
3523 open interest in the futures markets on the pair's you
3524
3525 882
3526 01:02:40,080 ~-~-> 01:02:44,190
3527 trade. Swiss franc as an example here, but it's not limited
3528
3529 883
3530 01:02:44,190 ~-~-> 01:02:47,100
3531 to that it's you can use it in the dollar index. You can use
3532
3533 884
3534 01:02:47,100 ~-~-> 01:02:50,970
3535 it the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, British pound,
3536
3537 885
3538 01:02:51,210 ~-~-> 01:02:59,310
3539 Japanese yen, and even the Euro higher timeframe directional
3540
3541 886
3542 01:02:59,310 ~-~-> 01:03:02,730
3543 bias Maintaining a focus on the weekly daily and possibly
3544
3545 887
3546 01:03:02,730 ~-~-> 01:03:04,890
3547 the four hour time frames will keep your trading in the
3548
3549 888
3550 01:03:04,890 ~-~-> 01:03:08,190
3551 highest probable direction. Look for support or resistance
3552
3553 889
3554 01:03:08,190 ~-~-> 01:03:11,670
3555 on these levels determine where price is trying to reach to.
3556
3557 890
3558 01:03:12,180 ~-~-> 01:03:15,090
3559 If price is trading lower on the daily look for an old low
3560
3561 891
3562 01:03:15,120 ~-~-> 01:03:18,120
3563 or high in the left side of your chart to determine if
3564
3565 892
3566 01:03:18,150 ~-~-> 01:03:21,900
3567 there's time and price available for trade. Given that
3568
3569 893
3570 01:03:21,900 ~-~-> 01:03:27,000
3571 direction. Reverse for looking for buy setups. The main
3572
3573 894
3574 01:03:27,000 ~-~-> 01:03:30,510
3575 point is to keep the higher timeframe in your trading. It
3576
3577 895
3578 01:03:30,510 ~-~-> 01:03:31,770
3579 really does pay off
3580
3581 896
3582 01:04:13,110 ~-~-> 01:04:17,310
3583 general market risk on or risk off, you want to start with
3584
3585 897
3586 01:04:17,310 ~-~-> 01:04:20,370
3587 the interest rates? Are we seeing yields dropping or
3588
3589 898
3590 01:04:20,370 ~-~-> 01:04:23,490
3591 increasing? Is there weakness or strength in the stocks
3592
3593 899
3594 01:04:23,520 ~-~-> 01:04:27,150
3595 commodity and treasuries? is gold and or oil giving you any
3596
3597 900
3598 01:04:27,150 ~-~-> 01:04:30,720
3599 clues? Is the dollar index confirming recent highs or lows
3600
3601 901
3602 01:04:30,720 ~-~-> 01:04:34,590
3603 compared to the interest rates? Are there any market reports
3604
3605 902
3606 01:04:34,590 ~-~-> 01:04:38,610
3607 do that might change the current market tone. The more the
3608
3609 903
3610 01:04:38,610 ~-~-> 01:04:41,910
3611 other asset classes confirm or negate your trade idea, the
3612
3613 904
3614 01:04:41,910 ~-~-> 01:04:46,950
3615 better risk off dollar rallies risk on it slides. It's that
3616
3617 905
3618 01:04:46,950 ~-~-> 01:04:55,530
3619 simple. anticipatory stage of analysis. This is the stage of
3620
3621 906
3622 01:04:55,530 ~-~-> 01:04:58,350
3623 analysis where you will spend the majority of your time it
