Now, market profiling is a concept that classifies what type of trading environment the current market is 7 +|6 |00:01:48,180 ~-~-> 00:01:56,010 |currently trading within this swings the odds of success, when you apply the proper technical analysis to the present profile. 8 +|7 |00:02:01,920 ~-~-> 00:02:13,740 |The market profiles that I personally use and approach my technical analysis with is considered four basic categories really, the consolidation range 9 +|8 |00:02:13,740 ~-~-> 00:02:33,420 |profile, the breakout, which would be a valid and or false profile, the trending profile and the reversal profile. Now consolidation range profile really is 10 +|9 |00:02:33,420 ~-~-> 00:02:47,100 |something that I learned from Larry Williams. And he talked about the nature of how price moves within trading range to a trade of some kind, like a, like a 11 +|10 |00:02:47,100 ~-~-> 00:02:58,590 |breakout into a trend. Now, where do you go from range? expansion, range, expansion, consolidation again, okay, this phenomenon takes place in any 12 +|11 |00:02:58,590 ~-~-> 00:03:09,300 |timeframe, I don't care which one you look at, it's always there. Now, how you as a trader can make a considerable amount of money is based on using higher 13 +|12 |00:03:09,300 ~-~-> 00:03:21,180 |timeframes using this profile. You want to be looking for directional bias during this consolidation. There, there's going to be all kinds of tips and 14 +|13 |00:03:21,180 ~-~-> 00:03:34,740 |clues to smart money will leave for you to be able to participate in the swing that takes place going down in this example. Typically, when you see the market 15 +|14 |00:03:34,740 ~-~-> 00:03:45,480 |start trading like it does hear going down, that's when the novice or st money gets excited and they start jumping in on the move. It doesn't mean you can't 16 +|15 |00:03:45,480 ~-~-> 00:03:55,560 |make money in that phase of the market. But it's just simply you have to be aware that you are in a move that's already been underway for a period of time. 17 +|16 |00:03:56,400 ~-~-> 00:04:06,570 |And if this is daily candles, it could be a stale move basically going into basically no consolidation as we see here. Now during this consolidation, 18 +|17 |00:04:06,570 ~-~-> 00:04:16,890 |traders will be trying their hardest to try to figure out what's going to happen. And we if we can understand fsos a bearish market environment which is 19 +|18 |00:04:16,890 ~-~-> 00:04:28,170 |really what I'm trying to illustrate with this crude example. We would be more inclined to look for shorts during the upper portion of the consolidation area. 20 +|19 |00:04:28,860 ~-~-> 00:04:41,400 |And also while we're in this consolidation, since we have a bearish market environment, okay. The range profiled we would use would be to look for optimal 21 +|20 |00:04:41,400 ~-~-> 00:04:52,830 |trade entry short patterns near the high end of the upper range of these, this consolidation or one went look for a turtle suit which would be a false breakout 22 +|21 |00:04:52,830 ~-~-> 00:05:05,940 |pattern okay. So this is consolidation range profile is very handy in terms of determining what you should be doing overall, even if it's in a trending market 23 +|22 |00:05:05,940 ~-~-> 00:05:14,970 |or non trending market, markets will always go back into some sort of consolidation. Even if it's in a strong trend, the breakout will more or less 24 +|23 |00:05:15,540 ~-~-> 00:05:25,860 |typically fall in line with the prevailing trade direction going into the consolidation. And now that barring any reversal pattern, or market profile, 25 +|24 |00:05:25,860 ~-~-> 00:05:35,040 |that we'll talk about another module, because it does have some characteristics that can't be explained, you know, in this module, because we're gonna focus on 26 +|25 |00:05:37,620 ~-~-> 00:05:51,510 |everything but the reversal pattern reversal profile rather. Now, when markets go from consolidation to swing or trend, back into consolidation, during the 27 +|26 |00:05:51,510 ~-~-> 00:06:00,750 |consolidation, you want to be focusing on getting positioned with the next swing before it happens, you don't really chasing price, once it starts to break out, 28 +|27 |00:06:01,230 ~-~-> 00:06:13,230 |that's when, you know, we can be wrong. I mean, I hate to say left by but, you know, it could be a wrong decision. And the way we take our low risk, high 29 +|28 |00:06:13,230 ~-~-> 00:06:24,030 |probability trades are trading in the opposite direction of our anticipated price move in this environment, we would be looking for price to move lower. So 30 +|29 |00:06:24,030 ~-~-> 00:06:36,060 |we will be selling into any kind of rally during the consolidation, maybe even reaching up to this old consolidation, low range, and maybe even looking at the 31 +|30 |00:06:36,060 ~-~-> 00:06:44,610 |high of the previous consolidation to the low of the consolidation that we're currently in. And then reaching up for an optimal trade entry to get in sync 32 +|31 |00:06:44,610 ~-~-> 00:06:56,640 |with the market trend or market flow and build a short position on market structure, new selling swing highs and getting ourselves in sync with the 33 +|32 |00:06:56,670 ~-~-> 00:06:57,360 |overall 34 +|33 |00:06:58,890 ~-~-> 00:07:10,440 |flow of the downward pressure that would eventually materialize. Now once price breaks out of that consolidation again, while price trades down, we would be 35 +|34 |00:07:10,440 ~-~-> 00:07:20,940 |seeing the bars expand again, what you probably heard me refer to it as range expansion. This means basically that we went from usually on average or small 36 +|35 |00:07:20,940 ~-~-> 00:07:34,500 |range to larger or much bigger ranges. And that's where a lot of pips be made. As a professional trader, you want to be focusing on the time periods that 37 +|36 |00:07:35,100 ~-~-> 00:07:44,640 |present the quiet time, because that's when the consolidation is doing what accumulating the next move, there is no reason for you to be chasing the market. 38 +|37 |00:07:44,640 ~-~-> 00:07:54,210 |So a good procedure for you to adopt is whenever you see prices, start running this sit on your hands, don't do anything, don't chase it. Because that's 39 +|38 |00:07:54,240 ~-~-> 00:08:01,560 |exactly what the street money is doing. They're chasing and running after price. And you don't want to be doing that you should have already been in that move. 40 +|39 |00:08:02,190 ~-~-> 00:08:06,870 |And if you haven't been placed before the move ensues, you wait for the next one. 41 +|40 |00:08:17,700 ~-~-> 00:08:28,620 |Now, just as simple as it was to illustrate a bullish market environment and using consolidation range profile, when we have a trading range or 42 +|41 |00:08:28,620 ~-~-> 00:08:39,720 |consolidation, we want to be looking for the clues that indicate where price will move next, we do not chase it once it starts running. Once it breaks out, 43 +|42 |00:08:39,930 ~-~-> 00:08:49,740 |and starts moving higher and goes into another consolidation, we want to be using the low range or support level of the current consolidation, looking for 44 +|43 |00:08:49,740 ~-~-> 00:08:59,340 |optimal trade entry by signals pulling from the low of the previous consolidation up to the high in the present consolidation or looking for turtle 45 +|44 |00:08:59,340 ~-~-> 00:09:10,140 |soup by patterns. In other words, looking for stops being rated on the low in any kind of important swing low of some kind. If we see the market trade down to 46 +|45 |00:09:10,320 ~-~-> 00:09:20,490 |and snap away, that will confirm the indication that we would look for higher prices. And again, just like the previous slide, we want to be looking for times 47 +|46 |00:09:20,490 ~-~-> 00:09:31,860 |when the candles or bars are small. They're not really large. And we want to be trading against the probable direction for the trade. We want to be trading. In 48 +|47 |00:09:32,160 ~-~-> 00:09:40,650 |other words, if we're looking for a bullish move, we want to be entering on down candles okay when when we getting in the trade when it's moving against our 49 +|48 |00:09:40,650 ~-~-> 00:09:42,000 |anticipated trade direction. 50 +|49 |00:09:47,940 ~-~-> 00:09:58,920 |Now, how do you profile a market? Well, on the left hand side here, we have what would be considered a standard downtrending or downswing in the market until it 51 +|50 |00:09:58,920 ~-~-> 00:10:07,230 |reaches a low of some kind and you have a reversal formation. We're not going to cover the reversal here because it's a little bit more to it. But assuming that 52 +|51 |00:10:07,230 ~-~-> 00:10:16,380 |the market does reverse their trades up, okay? And then we'll have a retracement of some kind. Now the retracement can be in the form of a new consolidation or 53 +|52 |00:10:16,380 ~-~-> 00:10:27,930 |range. Okay. Work could be an intermediate term reversal pattern. We don't know that until price gives us its clues. But based on higher time frame support 54 +|53 |00:10:27,930 ~-~-> 00:10:38,250 |resistance levels, we would have a reasonable expectation to see these swings unfold based on simple higher time frame analysis. No indicators just simply 55 +|54 |00:10:38,250 ~-~-> 00:10:48,300 |looking at the higher time frame support resistance levels. Now when price goes into a retracement and it starts consolidating, okay, we can see clearly that 56 +|55 |00:10:48,480 ~-~-> 00:11:02,640 |we've made a probable enemy or long term low price has snapped back and retraced okay. So this could be positioning a longer term trend move higher. So we would 57 +|56 |00:11:02,640 ~-~-> 00:11:15,030 |be looking for buy signals, okay for swing trades or long trades, long position trades. And only taking shorts over on the right hand side of this diagram. If 58 +|57 |00:11:15,030 ~-~-> 00:11:26,040 |we get to this profile in the market, we would only be looking for scalps or real short term intraday short positions and not looking to hold on to our long 59 +|58 |00:11:26,040 ~-~-> 00:11:38,730 |term intraday targets on the downside because it could be just a smaller retracement within a higher timeframe bullish move. So in this diagram, we've 60 +|59 |00:11:38,730 ~-~-> 00:11:52,320 |illustrated what would be considered a trending market down a reversal and a consolidation and a potential breakout profile that would be on the right hand 61 +|60 |00:11:52,320 ~-~-> 00:12:03,480 |side. Now, the right hand portion where it's ranging, this could be a pretty long period of time, it could be weeks, while it stays within this range. It 62 +|61 |00:12:03,480 ~-~-> 00:12:12,840 |doesn't mean you can't make money, it just means that you need to be aware of where the key support resistance levels are, and keeping your trades limited to 63 +|62 |00:12:13,860 ~-~-> 00:12:24,180 |targets within that range and not chasing price up out of new territory. In other words, if it trades above this high here, look for turtle soup or optimal 64 +|63 |00:12:24,180 ~-~-> 00:12:36,030 |trade entry shorts. Because it could be very well, a long, not a long but a short unfolding, once it breaks out forcely and sucks the traders in. And you've 65 +|64 |00:12:36,030 ~-~-> 00:12:47,880 |seen plenty examples of that this year when my pro traders club videos. But within this consolidation, if we see optimal trade entry, by signals, obviously, 66 +|65 |00:12:47,940 ~-~-> 00:13:00,780 |that would be the case here as an example, we could look for price to go up. And we really have to be considering taking at least 70%. In my opinion, 70% of our 67 +|66 |00:13:00,780 ~-~-> 00:13:10,020 |profits offered to previous high noted here, because they don't know if it's going to stay within that range. If it does 30% remaining of the original 68 +|67 |00:13:10,020 ~-~-> 00:13:22,680 |position long. That would be a ideal candidate to hold on to in case we do get to break out. But you know, I'm not a fan of chasing price into new territory, I 69 +|68 |00:13:22,680 ~-~-> 00:13:32,370 |think it's going to have a strong tendency to try at least pullback within the range. And you have to have that mindset as a trader because there are 70 +|69 |00:13:32,400 ~-~-> 00:13:46,350 |environments where you can make a lot of money well, it stays within a range. And you can still make money in a trending reversal and consolidation or 71 +|70 |00:13:46,350 ~-~-> 00:13:57,270 |breakout profile, it just means you have to have the right tools and approach to trading with in that profile. So looking at the daily chart, weekly chart 72 +|71 |00:13:57,300 ~-~-> 00:14:05,820 |monthly chart for our chart, you can get the general market term where it's going higher or lower based on support resistance, fractal lows that were taken 73 +|72 |00:14:05,820 ~-~-> 00:14:18,060 |out, whereas market structure is bearish. You can even include the CO t data that we've learned in other videos, if commercials are poised to expect a long 74 +|73 |00:14:18,060 ~-~-> 00:14:30,750 |term loan to market and public traders are wildly bullish. Okay. They that could be a factor as well for your your profiling. But basically you just want to have 75 +|74 |00:14:31,170 ~-~-> 00:14:46,680 |the understanding of what price could probably do in the next coming sessions. Conversely, just like we discussed a potential market profiling candidate we 76 +|75 |00:14:46,680 ~-~-> 00:14:48,150 |have a uptrending market 77 +|76 |00:14:49,530 ~-~-> 00:15:03,360 |reaching a reversal and then a retracement into a consolidation. Now that high made here could be A long term high or could be a mid term high, we don't know. 78 +|77 |00:15:03,930 ~-~-> 00:15:15,720 |But we have to base our trading on the key levels that are presented to us on the higher timeframes. And noting where they are and basing our trading on that 79 +|78 |00:15:16,530 ~-~-> 00:15:26,940 |we would only be looking for buy signals. In the right side of the chart here is a crude diagram only for scalps and intraday short term targets. We would not 80 +|79 |00:15:26,940 ~-~-> 00:15:38,400 |look for our extreme retracement levels, I'm sorry extension levels on our fibs for our targets. We would simply look for the previous highs to be retested and 81 +|80 |00:15:38,460 ~-~-> 00:15:47,970 |not much beyond that. Again, just like the other slide, I would not be interested in buying brand new fresh highs I would look for profit taking there 82 +|81 |00:15:48,450 ~-~-> 00:16:00,150 |and maybe even some shorts. I believe this indicates a bearish tone in the marketplace if this was a daily and or four hour chart and focusing more on the 83 +|82 |00:16:00,150 ~-~-> 00:16:03,120 |short sells, then the buy signals. 84 +|83 |00:16:09,180 ~-~-> 00:16:18,240 |Now where is your focus, okay. When you prepare for trading do you spend time with the higher timeframes and determine which profile the market is presently 85 +|84 |00:16:18,240 ~-~-> 00:16:27,450 |trading within. You do not want to trade simply just for the sake of taking some action, but rather you want to be trading with the highest probability in your 86 +|85 |00:16:27,450 ~-~-> 00:16:37,530 |favor. It makes sense. When the market is trending. We as traders use trend oriented analysis when the market is in a reversal profile. This same trend 87 +|86 |00:16:37,560 ~-~-> 00:16:47,550 |oriented analysis would likely present lower odds. Keep the focus on the current environment and get your trading in sync and you will find trading far more 88 +|87 |00:16:47,550 ~-~-> 00:16:51,420 |easier than trying to force your treasured techniques into impossibilities. 4 4 5 -2 6 -00:01:32,490 ~-~-> 00:01:33,480 7 -too many times 8 - 9 -3 10 -00:01:33,660 ~-~-> 00:01:34,290 11 -rushed 12 - 13 -4 14 -00:01:34,500 ~-~-> 00:01:37,410 15 -to get into the action of entering trades with no real 16 - 17 -5 18 -00:01:37,410 ~-~-> 00:01:39,300 19 -understanding of the current market environment, 20 - 21 -6 22 -00:01:39,510 ~-~-> 00:01:41,520 23 -or what I refer to as a profile. 24 - 25 -7 26 -00:01:42,240 ~-~-> 00:01:44,160 27 -Now market profiling is a concept that 28 - 29 -8 30 -00:01:44,340 ~-~-> 00:01:47,520 31 -classifies what type of trading environment the current 32 - 33 -9 34 -00:01:47,520 ~-~-> 00:01:47,850 35 -market 36 - 37 -10 38 -00:01:47,880 ~-~-> 00:01:49,200 39 -is currently trading within. 40 - 41 -11 42 -00:01:50,130 ~-~-> 00:01:53,280 43 -This swings the odds of success when you apply the proper 44 - 45 -12 46 -00:01:53,280 ~-~-> 00:01:54,180 47 -technical analysis 48 - 49 -13 50 -00:01:54,180 ~-~-> 00:01:56,040 51 -to the present profile. 52 - 53 -14 54 -00:02:01,920 ~-~-> 00:02:04,500 55 -The market profiles that I personally use and 56 - 57 -15 58 -00:02:04,860 ~-~-> 00:02:10,770 59 -approach my technical analysis with is considered four basic 60 - 61 -16 62 -00:02:10,770 ~-~-> 00:02:15,150 63 -categories really the consolidation range profile, the 64 - 65 -17 66 -00:02:15,150 ~-~-> 00:02:20,310 67 -breakout, which would be a valid and or false profile, the 68 - 69 -18 70 -00:02:20,310 ~-~-> 00:02:23,850 71 -trending profile and the reversal profile. 72 - 73 -19 74 -00:02:28,710 ~-~-> 00:02:30,690 75 -Now consolidation range profile 76 - 77 -20 78 -00:02:32,790 ~-~-> 00:02:34,800 79 -really is something that I learned from 80 - 81 -21 82 -00:02:35,760 ~-~-> 00:02:40,020 83 -Larry Williams and he talked about the nature of how price 84 - 85 -22 86 -00:02:40,170 ~-~-> 00:02:42,000 87 -moves within trading range 88 - 89 -23 90 -00:02:43,350 ~-~-> 00:02:43,860 91 -to a 92 - 93 -24 94 -00:02:44,010 ~-~-> 00:02:49,320 95 -trade of some kind, like a breakout into a trend. Now, where 96 - 97 -25 98 -00:02:49,320 ~-~-> 00:02:54,450 99 -do you go from range? expansion, range, expansion, 100 - 101 -26 102 -00:02:54,810 ~-~-> 00:02:58,320 103 -consolidation again, okay. This phenomenon takes place in 104 - 105 -27 106 -00:02:58,320 ~-~-> 00:03:01,110 107 -any timeframe. I don't care which one Look at it's always 108 - 109 -28 110 -00:03:01,110 ~-~-> 00:03:06,390 111 -there. Now how you as a trader can make a considerable 112 - 113 -29 114 -00:03:06,390 ~-~-> 00:03:10,050 115 -amount of money is based on using the higher time frames 116 - 117 -30 118 -00:03:10,080 ~-~-> 00:03:15,060 119 -using this profile. You want to be looking for directional 120 - 121 -31 122 -00:03:15,060 ~-~-> 00:03:20,400 123 -bias during this consolidation. There's going to be all 124 - 125 -32 126 -00:03:20,400 ~-~-> 00:03:24,330 127 -kinds of tips and clues. Smart Money will leave for you to 128 - 129 -33 130 -00:03:24,330 ~-~-> 00:03:28,500 131 -be able to participate in the swing that takes place going 132 - 133 -34 134 -00:03:28,530 ~-~-> 00:03:34,740 135 -down. In this example typically when you see the market 136 - 137 -35 138 -00:03:34,740 ~-~-> 00:03:39,510 139 -start trading like it does here going down. That's when the 140 - 141 -36 142 -00:03:39,540 ~-~-> 00:03:42,990 143 -novice or st money gets excited and they start jumping in on 144 - 145 -37 146 -00:03:42,990 ~-~-> 00:03:47,670 147 -the move. It doesn't mean you can't make money in that phase 148 - 149 -38 150 -00:03:47,670 ~-~-> 00:03:51,480 151 -of the market. But it's just simply you have to be aware 152 - 153 -39 154 -00:03:51,480 ~-~-> 00:03:54,930 155 -that you are in a move that's already been underway for a 156 - 157 -40 158 -00:03:54,930 ~-~-> 00:03:58,680 159 -period of time. And if this is daily candles, and it could 160 - 161 -41 162 -00:03:58,680 ~-~-> 00:04:03,030 163 -be a stalemate. Basically going into you know, basically no 164 - 165 -42 166 -00:04:03,030 ~-~-> 00:04:06,570 167 -consolidation as we see here. Now during this consolidation 168 - 169 -43 170 -00:04:06,570 ~-~-> 00:04:10,500 171 -traders will be trying their hardest to try to figure out 172 - 173 -44 174 -00:04:10,500 ~-~-> 00:04:14,640 175 -what's going to happen. And we, if we can understand that if 176 - 177 -45 178 -00:04:14,640 ~-~-> 00:04:17,220 179 -this is a bearish market environment, which is really what 180 - 181 -46 182 -00:04:17,220 ~-~-> 00:04:19,020 183 -I'm trying to illustrate with this crude example 184 - 185 -47 186 -00:04:20,490 ~-~-> 00:04:22,710 187 -we would be more inclined to look for 188 - 189 -48 190 -00:04:22,920 ~-~-> 00:04:25,620 191 -shorts during the upper portion of 192 - 193 -49 194 -00:04:26,940 ~-~-> 00:04:29,220 195 -the consolidation area. And 196 - 197 -50 198 -00:04:30,480 ~-~-> 00:04:33,990 199 -also while we're in this consolidation, since we have a 200 - 201 -51 202 -00:04:34,020 ~-~-> 00:04:38,640 203 -bearish market environment, okay. The range profiled we 204 - 205 -52 206 -00:04:38,640 ~-~-> 00:04:42,450 207 -would use would be to look for optimal trade entry short 208 - 209 -53 210 -00:04:42,450 ~-~-> 00:04:46,620 211 -patterns near the high end of the upper range of these, this 212 - 213 -54 214 -00:04:46,620 ~-~-> 00:04:51,690 215 -consolidation or one would look for a turtle soup which 216 - 217 -55 218 -00:04:51,690 ~-~-> 00:04:54,060 219 -would be a false breakout pattern, okay. 220 - 221 -56 222 -00:04:54,870 ~-~-> 00:04:57,810 223 -So this is consolidation range profile 224 - 225 -57 226 -00:04:58,020 ~-~-> 00:05:03,120 227 -is very handy in terms of determining what you should be 228 - 229 -58 230 -00:05:03,120 ~-~-> 00:05:06,330 231 -doing overall. Even if it's in a trending market or non 232 - 233 -59 234 -00:05:06,330 ~-~-> 00:05:09,240 235 -trending market, markets will always go back into some sort 236 - 237 -60 238 -00:05:09,240 ~-~-> 00:05:12,900 239 -of consolidation. Even if it's in a strong trend. The 240 - 241 -61 242 -00:05:12,900 ~-~-> 00:05:17,610 243 -breakout will more or less typically fall in line with the 244 - 245 -62 246 -00:05:17,610 ~-~-> 00:05:22,200 247 -prevailing trade direction going into the consolidation. Now 248 - 249 -63 250 -00:05:22,200 ~-~-> 00:05:25,980 251 -that's barring any reversal pattern or market profile that 252 - 253 -64 254 -00:05:25,980 ~-~-> 00:05:29,310 255 -we'll talk about another module because it does have some 256 - 257 -65 258 -00:05:29,340 ~-~-> 00:05:33,660 259 -characteristics that can't be explained, you know, in this 260 - 261 -66 262 -00:05:33,660 ~-~-> 00:05:35,040 263 -module because we're gonna focus on 264 - 265 -67 266 -00:05:37,590 ~-~-> 00:05:40,590 267 -everything but the reversal pattern reversal profile rather. 268 - 269 -68 270 -00:05:42,330 ~-~-> 00:05:42,780 271 -Now, 272 - 273 -69 274 -00:05:43,800 ~-~-> 00:05:48,330 275 -when markets go from consolidation to swing or trend, back 276 - 277 -70 278 -00:05:48,330 ~-~-> 00:05:53,040 279 -into consolidation, during the consolidation, you want to be 280 - 281 -71 282 -00:05:53,040 ~-~-> 00:05:57,270 283 -focusing on getting positioned with the next swing before it 284 - 285 -72 286 -00:05:57,270 ~-~-> 00:06:00,330 287 -happens. You don't be chasing price once it starts to Break 288 - 289 -73 290 -00:06:00,360 ~-~-> 00:06:05,640 291 -out, that's when, you know, we can be wrong. I mean, I hate 292 - 293 -74 294 -00:06:05,640 ~-~-> 00:06:10,410 295 -to say left by but it could be a wrong decision. And the way 296 - 297 -75 298 -00:06:10,410 ~-~-> 00:06:15,360 299 -we take our low risk, high probability traits are trading in 300 - 301 -76 302 -00:06:15,360 ~-~-> 00:06:20,190 303 -the opposite direction of our anticipated price moves. In 304 - 305 -77 306 -00:06:20,190 ~-~-> 00:06:23,100 307 -this environment, we would be looking for price to move 308 - 309 -78 310 -00:06:23,100 ~-~-> 00:06:26,970 311 -lower. So we will be selling into any kind of rally during 312 - 313 -79 314 -00:06:27,090 ~-~-> 00:06:30,930 315 -consolidation, maybe even reaching out to this old 316 - 317 -80 318 -00:06:30,930 ~-~-> 00:06:36,450 319 -consolidation, low range, and maybe even looking at the high 320 - 321 -81 322 -00:06:36,450 ~-~-> 00:06:39,390 323 -of the previous consolidation to the low of the 324 - 325 -82 326 -00:06:39,390 ~-~-> 00:06:42,840 327 -consolidation that we're currently in. And then reaching up 328 - 329 -83 330 -00:06:42,840 ~-~-> 00:06:46,380 331 -for an optimal trade entry to get in sync with the market 332 - 333 -84 334 -00:06:46,380 ~-~-> 00:06:50,490 335 -trend or market flow and build a short position on market 336 - 337 -85 338 -00:06:50,490 ~-~-> 00:06:55,380 339 -structure. You selling swing highs and getting ourselves in 340 - 341 -86 342 -00:06:55,560 ~-~-> 00:06:57,390 343 -sync with the overall 344 - 345 -87 346 -00:06:58,890 ~-~-> 00:07:01,260 347 -flow of the downward pressure that would 348 - 349 -88 350 -00:07:01,890 ~-~-> 00:07:05,520 351 -eventually materialize. Now once price breaks out of that 352 - 353 -89 354 -00:07:05,520 ~-~-> 00:07:10,440 355 -consolidation again, while price trades down, we would be 356 - 357 -90 358 -00:07:10,440 ~-~-> 00:07:14,700 359 -seeing the bars expand, okay. But you've probably heard me 360 - 361 -91 362 -00:07:14,700 ~-~-> 00:07:18,210 363 -refer to it as range expansion. This means basically that we 364 - 365 -92 366 -00:07:18,210 ~-~-> 00:07:23,640 367 -went from usually on average or small range to larger 368 - 369 -93 370 -00:07:23,729 ~-~-> 00:07:24,899 371 -or much 372 - 373 -94 374 -00:07:25,019 ~-~-> 00:07:30,779 375 -bigger ranges. And that's where a lot of pips be made. As a 376 - 377 -95 378 -00:07:30,779 ~-~-> 00:07:33,539 379 -professional trader, you want to be focusing on the time 380 - 381 -96 382 -00:07:33,539 ~-~-> 00:07:37,709 383 -periods that present the quiet time, because that's when the 384 - 385 -97 386 -00:07:37,709 ~-~-> 00:07:41,549 387 -consolidation is doing what accumulating the next move. 388 - 389 -98 390 -00:07:42,419 ~-~-> 00:07:45,389 391 -There is no reason for you to be chasing the market. So a 392 - 393 -99 394 -00:07:45,389 ~-~-> 00:07:49,439 395 -good procedure for you to adopt is whenever you see prices, 396 - 397 -100 398 -00:07:49,469 ~-~-> 00:07:51,989 399 -start running this sit on your hands, don't do anything, 400 - 401 -101 402 -00:07:51,989 ~-~-> 00:07:55,559 403 -don't chase it. Because that's exactly what the street 404 - 405 -102 406 -00:07:55,559 ~-~-> 00:07:57,839 407 -money's doing. They're chasing and running out their price 408 - 409 -103 410 -00:07:57,839 ~-~-> 00:08:00,209 411 -and you don't want to be doing that you should Could have 412 - 413 -104 414 -00:08:00,209 ~-~-> 00:08:03,509 415 -already been in that move. And if you haven't been placed 416 - 417 -105 418 -00:08:03,869 ~-~-> 00:08:06,869 419 -before the move in twos, you wait for the next one. 420 - 421 -106 422 -00:08:17,730 ~-~-> 00:08:22,770 423 -Now, just as simple as it was to illustrate a bullish market 424 - 425 -107 426 -00:08:22,770 ~-~-> 00:08:27,060 427 -environment and using consolidation range profile, when we 428 - 429 -108 430 -00:08:27,060 ~-~-> 00:08:30,570 431 -have a trading range or consolidation, we want to be looking 432 - 433 -109 434 -00:08:30,570 ~-~-> 00:08:35,250 435 -for the clues that indicate where price will move next, we 436 - 437 -110 438 -00:08:35,250 ~-~-> 00:08:39,720 439 -do not chase it once it starts running. Once it breaks out, 440 - 441 -111 442 -00:08:39,930 ~-~-> 00:08:41,850 443 -and starts moving higher and goes into another 444 - 445 -112 446 -00:08:41,850 ~-~-> 00:08:46,410 447 -consolidation, we want to be using the low range or support 448 - 449 -113 450 -00:08:46,410 ~-~-> 00:08:50,040 451 -level of the current consolidation, looking for optimal 452 - 453 -114 454 -00:08:50,040 ~-~-> 00:08:54,000 455 -trade entry by signals pulling from the low of the previous 456 - 457 -115 458 -00:08:54,000 ~-~-> 00:08:58,380 459 -consolidation up to the high in the present consolidation or 460 - 461 -116 462 -00:08:58,410 ~-~-> 00:09:01,470 463 -looking for turtle soup. Bye patterns. In other words, 464 - 465 -117 466 -00:09:01,470 ~-~-> 00:09:05,460 467 -looking for stops being rated on the low end, any kind of 468 - 469 -118 470 -00:09:05,820 ~-~-> 00:09:09,630 471 -important swing low of some kind. If we see the market trade 472 - 473 -119 474 -00:09:09,630 ~-~-> 00:09:13,200 475 -down to it and snap away that would confirm the indication 476 - 477 -120 478 -00:09:13,200 ~-~-> 00:09:17,490 479 -that we would look for higher prices. And, again, just like 480 - 481 -121 482 -00:09:17,490 ~-~-> 00:09:20,850 483 -the previous slide, we want to be looking for times when the 484 - 485 -122 486 -00:09:21,150 ~-~-> 00:09:25,890 487 -candles or bars are small, they're not really large. And we 488 - 489 -123 490 -00:09:25,890 ~-~-> 00:09:30,630 491 -want to be trading against the probable direction for the 492 - 493 -124 494 -00:09:30,630 ~-~-> 00:09:32,910 495 -trade. We want to be trading in Alberta. If we're looking 496 - 497 -125 498 -00:09:32,910 ~-~-> 00:09:36,690 499 -for bullish move, we want to be entering on down candles. 500 - 501 -126 502 -00:09:36,750 ~-~-> 00:09:39,840 503 -Okay, when are we getting in the trade when it's moving 504 - 505 -127 506 -00:09:39,840 ~-~-> 00:09:41,970 507 -against our anticipated trade direction. 508 - 509 -128 510 -00:09:47,940 ~-~-> 00:09:52,350 511 -Now, how do you profile a market? Well, on the left hand 512 - 513 -129 514 -00:09:52,350 ~-~-> 00:09:55,290 515 -side here, we have what would be considered a standard 516 - 517 -130 518 -00:09:55,320 ~-~-> 00:09:59,490 519 -downtrending or downswing in the market until it reaches a 520 - 521 -131 522 -00:09:59,490 ~-~-> 00:10:03,630 523 -low of some And you have a reversal formation. We're not 524 - 525 -132 526 -00:10:03,630 ~-~-> 00:10:05,370 527 -going to cover the reversal here because there's a little 528 - 529 -133 530 -00:10:05,370 ~-~-> 00:10:08,160 531 -bit more to it. But assuming that the market does reverse 532 - 533 -134 534 -00:10:08,160 ~-~-> 00:10:12,150 535 -their trades up, okay? Then we'll have a retracement of some 536 - 537 -135 538 -00:10:12,150 ~-~-> 00:10:15,450 539 -kind. Now the retracement can be in the form of a new 540 - 541 -136 542 -00:10:15,450 ~-~-> 00:10:20,460 543 -consolidation or range. Okay. Or it could be an intermediate 544 - 545 -137 546 -00:10:20,460 ~-~-> 00:10:24,090 547 -term reversal pattern. We don't know that until price gives 548 - 549 -138 550 -00:10:24,090 ~-~-> 00:10:27,900 551 -us its clues. But based on higher time frame support 552 - 553 -139 554 -00:10:27,900 ~-~-> 00:10:30,930 555 -resistance levels, we would have a reasonable expectation to 556 - 557 -140 558 -00:10:30,930 ~-~-> 00:10:35,490 559 -see these swings unfold based on simple higher time frame 560 - 561 -141 562 -00:10:35,490 ~-~-> 00:10:39,030 563 -analysis. No indicators just simply looking at the higher 564 - 565 -142 566 -00:10:39,030 ~-~-> 00:10:42,720 567 -time frame support resistance levels. Now when price goes 568 - 569 -143 570 -00:10:42,840 ~-~-> 00:10:47,070 571 -into a retracement and then starts consolidating, okay, we 572 - 573 -144 574 -00:10:47,070 ~-~-> 00:10:50,970 575 -can see clearly that we've made a probable enemy or long 576 - 577 -145 578 -00:10:50,970 ~-~-> 00:10:55,830 579 -term low price has snapped back and retraced Okay, so this 580 - 581 -146 582 -00:10:55,830 ~-~-> 00:11:02,520 583 -could be positioning a longer term trend move higher. So we 584 - 585 -147 586 -00:11:02,520 ~-~-> 00:11:06,300 587 -would be looking for buy signals, okay for swing trades or 588 - 589 -148 590 -00:11:06,300 ~-~-> 00:11:12,060 591 -long trades, long position trades and only taking shorts 592 - 593 -149 594 -00:11:12,510 ~-~-> 00:11:15,360 595 -over on the right hand side of this diagram. If we get to 596 - 597 -150 598 -00:11:15,360 ~-~-> 00:11:15,630 599 -this 600 - 601 -151 602 -00:11:17,100 ~-~-> 00:11:20,070 603 -profile in the market, we would only be looking for scalps 604 - 605 -152 606 -00:11:20,340 ~-~-> 00:11:24,990 607 -or real short term intraday short positions and not looking 608 - 609 -153 610 -00:11:24,990 ~-~-> 00:11:30,930 611 -to hold on to our long term intraday targets on the downside 612 - 613 -154 614 -00:11:30,930 ~-~-> 00:11:34,470 615 -because it could be just a smaller retracement within a 616 - 617 -155 618 -00:11:34,470 ~-~-> 00:11:38,730 619 -higher timeframe bullish move. So in this diagram, we've 620 - 621 -156 622 -00:11:38,730 ~-~-> 00:11:41,400 623 -illustrated what would be considered a trending market down 624 - 625 -157 626 -00:11:42,180 ~-~-> 00:11:48,750 627 -a reversal and a consolidation and a potential breakout 628 - 629 -158 630 -00:11:50,820 ~-~-> 00:11:54,960 631 -profile that would be on the right hand side. Now, the right 632 - 633 -159 634 -00:11:54,960 ~-~-> 00:11:58,380 635 -hand portion where it's ranging, this could be a pretty long 636 - 637 -160 638 -00:11:58,380 ~-~-> 00:12:02,730 639 -period of time. It could be weeks while it stays within this 640 - 641 -161 642 -00:12:02,730 ~-~-> 00:12:05,490 643 -range. It doesn't mean you can't make money, it just means 644 - 645 -162 646 -00:12:05,490 ~-~-> 00:12:08,700 647 -that you need to be aware of where the key support 648 - 649 -163 650 -00:12:08,700 ~-~-> 00:12:12,840 651 -resistance levels are, and keeping your trades limited to 652 - 653 -164 654 -00:12:13,860 ~-~-> 00:12:18,150 655 -targets within that range and not chasing price up out of 656 - 657 -165 658 -00:12:18,180 ~-~-> 00:12:21,240 659 -new territory. In other words, if it trades above this high 660 - 661 -166 662 -00:12:21,240 ~-~-> 00:12:25,170 663 -here, look for turtle soup or optimal trade entry shorts. 664 - 665 -167 666 -00:12:25,560 ~-~-> 00:12:28,470 667 -Because it could be very well, a long, 668 - 669 -168 670 -00:12:29,370 ~-~-> 00:12:30,900 671 -not a long a short 672 - 673 -169 674 -00:12:31,200 ~-~-> 00:12:35,280 675 -unfolding, once it breaks out falsely and sucks the traders 676 - 677 -170 678 -00:12:35,280 ~-~-> 00:12:38,040 679 -in and you've seen plenty examples of that this year when my 680 - 681 -171 682 -00:12:38,040 ~-~-> 00:12:44,250 683 -pro traders club videos. But within this consolidation, if 684 - 685 -172 686 -00:12:44,250 ~-~-> 00:12:48,420 687 -we see optimal trade entry by signals obviously that would 688 - 689 -173 690 -00:12:48,420 ~-~-> 00:12:53,130 691 -be the case here as an example, we could look for price to 692 - 693 -174 694 -00:12:53,280 ~-~-> 00:12:57,930 695 -go up and we really have to be considering taking at least 696 - 697 -175 698 -00:12:57,930 ~-~-> 00:13:02,160 699 -70% in my opinion. 70% of our profits off at the previous 700 - 701 -176 702 -00:13:02,160 ~-~-> 00:13:06,180 703 -high noted here, because they don't know if it's going to 704 - 705 -177 706 -00:13:06,180 ~-~-> 00:13:09,690 707 -stay within that range. If it does 30% remaining of the 708 - 709 -178 710 -00:13:09,690 ~-~-> 00:13:13,770 711 -original position on the long, that would be a ideal 712 - 713 -179 714 -00:13:13,890 ~-~-> 00:13:16,740 715 -candidate to hold on to in case we do get to break out. 716 - 717 -180 718 -00:13:17,130 ~-~-> 00:13:17,550 719 -But 720 - 721 -181 722 -00:13:18,180 ~-~-> 00:13:22,920 723 -I'm not a fan of chasing price into new territory, I think 724 - 725 -182 726 -00:13:22,920 ~-~-> 00:13:27,150 727 -it's going to have a strong tendency to try at least 728 - 729 -183 730 -00:13:27,150 ~-~-> 00:13:30,330 731 -pullback within the range. And you have to have that mindset 732 - 733 -184 734 -00:13:30,420 ~-~-> 00:13:35,340 735 -as a trader because there are environments where you can 736 - 737 -185 738 -00:13:35,340 ~-~-> 00:13:39,450 739 -make a lot of money while it stays within a range. And you 740 - 741 -186 742 -00:13:39,450 ~-~-> 00:13:45,480 743 -can still make money in a trending reversal and 744 - 745 -187 746 -00:13:45,480 ~-~-> 00:13:49,200 747 -consolidation or breakout profile. It just means you have to 748 - 749 -188 750 -00:13:49,200 ~-~-> 00:13:52,530 751 -have the right tools and approach to trading with in that 752 - 753 -189 754 -00:13:52,560 ~-~-> 00:13:57,630 755 -profile. So looking at a daily chart, weekly chart, monthly 756 - 757 -190 758 -00:13:57,630 ~-~-> 00:14:01,470 759 -chart for our chart, you can get The general market tone 760 - 761 -191 762 -00:14:01,470 ~-~-> 00:14:03,720 763 -where it's going higher or lower based on support 764 - 765 -192 766 -00:14:03,720 ~-~-> 00:14:06,300 767 -resistance, fractal lows that we're taking out whereas 768 - 769 -193 770 -00:14:06,300 ~-~-> 00:14:11,220 771 -market structure is bearish. You can even include the co2 772 - 773 -194 774 -00:14:11,220 ~-~-> 00:14:15,090 775 -data that we've learned in other videos, if commercials are 776 - 777 -195 778 -00:14:15,300 ~-~-> 00:14:20,040 779 -poised to expect a long term low in the market, and public 780 - 781 -196 782 -00:14:20,040 ~-~-> 00:14:25,890 783 -traders are wildly bullish, okay. That could be a factor as 784 - 785 -197 786 -00:14:25,890 ~-~-> 00:14:30,270 787 -well for your your profiling. But basically, you just want 788 - 789 -198 790 -00:14:30,270 ~-~-> 00:14:35,940 791 -to have the understanding of what price could probably do in 792 - 793 -199 794 -00:14:35,940 ~-~-> 00:14:42,690 795 -the next coming sessions. Conversely, just like we discussed 796 - 797 -200 798 -00:14:42,720 ~-~-> 00:14:47,730 799 -a potential market profiling candidate we have a uptrending 800 - 801 -201 802 -00:14:47,730 ~-~-> 00:14:53,640 803 -market reaching a reversal and then a retracement into a 804 - 805 -202 806 -00:14:53,640 ~-~-> 00:15:00,630 807 -consolidation. Now that tie made here could be Long Term 808 - 809 -203 810 -00:15:00,630 ~-~-> 00:15:04,440 811 -high or it could be mid term high, we don't know. But we 812 - 813 -204 814 -00:15:04,440 ~-~-> 00:15:08,490 815 -have to base our trading on the key levels that are 816 - 817 -205 818 -00:15:09,240 ~-~-> 00:15:12,720 819 -presented to us on the higher time frames and noting where 820 - 821 -206 822 -00:15:12,720 ~-~-> 00:15:13,470 823 -they are 824 - 825 -207 826 -00:15:14,010 ~-~-> 00:15:15,720 827 -and basing our trading on that 828 - 829 -208 830 -00:15:16,529 ~-~-> 00:15:20,729 831 -we would only be looking for buy signals. In the right side 832 - 833 -209 834 -00:15:20,729 ~-~-> 00:15:24,989 835 -of the chart here is a crude diagram. Only for scalps and 836 - 837 -210 838 -00:15:24,989 ~-~-> 00:15:27,749 839 -intraday short term targets. We would not look for our 840 - 841 -211 842 -00:15:29,220 ~-~-> 00:15:32,040 843 -extreme retracement levels, I'm 844 - 845 -212 846 -00:15:32,039 ~-~-> 00:15:34,589 847 -sorry extension levels on our fibs for our targets. We would 848 - 849 -213 850 -00:15:34,589 ~-~-> 00:15:38,729 851 -simply look for the previous highs to be retested and not 852 - 853 -214 854 -00:15:38,729 ~-~-> 00:15:42,029 855 -much beyond that. Again, just like the other slide, I would 856 - 857 -215 858 -00:15:42,029 ~-~-> 00:15:46,229 859 -not be interested in buying brand new fresh highs I would 860 - 861 -216 862 -00:15:46,229 ~-~-> 00:15:49,799 863 -look for profit taking there and maybe even some shorts. 864 - 865 -217 866 -00:15:51,480 ~-~-> 00:15:53,610 867 -I believe this indicates a 868 - 869 -218 870 -00:15:53,730 ~-~-> 00:15:56,820 871 -bearish tone in the marketplace if this was a daily and or 872 - 873 -219 874 -00:15:56,820 ~-~-> 00:16:01,020 875 -four hour chart and focusing more on that The short sells, 876 - 877 -220 878 -00:16:01,530 ~-~-> 00:16:03,150 879 -then the buy signals. 880 - 881 -221 882 -00:16:09,179 ~-~-> 00:16:13,319 883 -Now, where is your focus? Okay. When you prepare for trading 884 - 885 -222 886 -00:16:13,319 ~-~-> 00:16:16,379 887 -do you spend time with the higher time frames and determine 888 - 889 -223 890 -00:16:16,409 ~-~-> 00:16:20,189 891 -which profile the market is presently trading within. You do 892 - 893 -224 894 -00:16:20,189 ~-~-> 00:16:23,249 895 -not want to trade simply just for the sake of taking some 896 - 897 -225 898 -00:16:23,249 ~-~-> 00:16:26,489 899 -action, but rather you want to be trading with the highest 900 - 901 -226 902 -00:16:26,489 ~-~-> 00:16:30,269 903 -probability in your favor. It makes sense. When the market 904 - 905 -227 906 -00:16:30,269 ~-~-> 00:16:34,529 907 -is trending, we as traders use trend oriented analysis when 908 - 909 -228 910 -00:16:34,529 ~-~-> 00:16:37,529 911 -the market is in a reversal profile. This same trend 912 - 913 -229 914 -00:16:37,529 ~-~-> 00:16:41,879 915 -oriented analysis would likely present lower odds. Keep the 916 - 917 -230 918 -00:16:41,879 ~-~-> 00:16:44,759 919 -focus on the current environment and get your trading in 920 - 921 -231 922 -00:16:44,759 ~-~-> 00:16:48,389 923 -sync and you will find trading far more easier than trying 924 - 925 -232 926 -00:16:48,389 ~-~-> 00:16:51,419 927 -to force your treasured techniques into impossibilities.
