Okay. And also, as we've always mentioned before in previous examples of education in my work, everything 3 +|2 |00:01:22,769 ~-~-> 00:01:32,789 |hinges upon the interest rate market. Okay, whatever you see in the interest rate market will have a driving force in the United States Dollar Index, which 4 +|3 |00:01:32,789 ~-~-> 00:01:43,049 |is essentially the barometer for foreign currency markets. If US dollar is weak, it bodes well for most foreign currencies. And if the United States dollar is 5 +|4 |00:01:43,289 ~-~-> 00:01:55,799 |bullish, it bodes poorly for foreign currencies and expect lower prices and sympathy. And obviously, that train of command maintains its infact across all 6 +|5 |00:01:55,799 ~-~-> 00:02:05,819 |market asset classes, that being the stock market, the commodity markets as well. It's not limited to just currency markets. So, obviously, what do I mean 7 +|6 |00:02:05,819 ~-~-> 00:02:15,959 |by it all hinges on the interest rate markets while we watch the 10 year five year two year and 30 year market in the yields. Okay, and by looking at the 8 +|7 |00:02:15,959 ~-~-> 00:02:31,919 |yields. What we look for is, generally the yields are moving in tandem. Okay. In this example, crudely examples, we're looking at a downward shift in yields. So 9 +|8 |00:02:31,919 ~-~-> 00:02:42,959 |that would indicate that yields are dropping, that is a risk off scenario. So while risk is off, we are no longer looking for buy signals, we're focusing more 10 +|9 |00:02:42,959 ~-~-> 00:02:55,589 |on the sell side until we see a divergence in the yields. Okay, and this could take form in five year it could be in a 10 year. Generally, you want to be 11 +|10 |00:02:55,589 ~-~-> 00:02:57,449 |looking at three 12 +|11 |00:02:58,470 ~-~-> 00:03:08,490 |yields, like for instance, like I trade the British Pound in the fiber. Well, it's crossed with the US dollar. So the triad, the yield triad that I use, as 13 +|12 |00:03:08,490 ~-~-> 00:03:17,520 |the US yields to UK yields and the German yields as described here in this again, rather crude example, at some point, and usually between two to three 14 +|13 |00:03:17,520 ~-~-> 00:03:29,250 |months, couple times a year, there's a shift that takes place in the interest rate market. And its quarterly driven. So at some point, the yields will fail to 15 +|14 |00:03:29,250 ~-~-> 00:03:37,950 |make comparable lows, okay, instinct, but more or less depth Dow Theory, that's what I've applied here is they have to confirm one another. If they don't 16 +|15 |00:03:37,950 ~-~-> 00:03:45,930 |confirm one another, something's taking place. Fundamentally, I'm not claiming to understand what it is fundamentally that's taking place. I'm just stating 17 +|16 |00:03:45,930 ~-~-> 00:03:56,460 |that I see it in the chart, following the yields. So in one diverges in this example, you see that the UK and the US yields failed to make lower lows while 18 +|17 |00:03:56,490 ~-~-> 00:04:07,050 |the German yields did, okay, that's generally an indication that the German markets are less favored. But yes, they probably will move up in 10 in sympathy. 19 +|18 |00:04:07,710 ~-~-> 00:04:18,060 |So now we see a shift on their way now as the yields are increasing for the next quarter. This generally will be bullish for foreign currencies and or bearish 20 +|19 |00:04:18,630 ~-~-> 00:04:30,480 |for the US dollar. And this will maintain its impact over the market for a period of time until at some point, the yields will encounter a resistance level 21 +|20 |00:04:30,480 ~-~-> 00:04:39,600 |of some kind. And that's going to come in the form of one yield failing to make a higher high and or more than one, okay, so what you're doing is you're looking 22 +|21 |00:04:39,600 ~-~-> 00:04:50,160 |for a shift in the overall trend of the yields, okay, so it's going to tip your hand that something fundamentally is slowing down. There's waning interest in 23 +|22 |00:04:50,160 ~-~-> 00:04:59,790 |risk, and there may be a turn likely don't sue. So now you want to be a little bit more cautious in your balls by signals. Because we may see a drop in yields 24 +|23 |00:04:59,790 ~-~-> 00:05:08,040 |which would be a risk off scenario and then the dollar should be rallying at this point. Okay, so these are the concepts that you have to apply, beginning 25 +|24 |00:05:08,040 ~-~-> 00:05:16,290 |with your top down analysis understanding, are we in a risk on or risk off scenario overall in the interest rate markets. And then once we have that, we 26 +|25 |00:05:16,290 ~-~-> 00:05:20,400 |can look at a more macro view down to a micro view. 27 +|26 |00:05:27,660 ~-~-> 00:05:36,060 |We are obviously, beginning all of our analysis with the interest rate markets. And you don't want to have to expect this to shift every single day, okay, you 28 +|27 |00:05:36,060 ~-~-> 00:05:44,880 |want to be having a higher timeframe, macro view on interest rates, and monitoring that based on our buy signal oriented buy program or sell program. 29 +|28 |00:05:45,510 ~-~-> 00:05:54,780 |Next, obviously, we would be considering the direction of the United States dollar and the technical levels that that in the sea is currently being impacted 30 +|29 |00:05:54,780 ~-~-> 00:06:08,190 |by obviously, it helps to trade with the understanding that's found in the futures market, that being the treasuries in the Tino markets that mean the five 31 +|30 |00:06:08,190 ~-~-> 00:06:22,170 |year 10 year and 30 year treasuries. The stock indices are always a good to watch, I go from interest rates to the US dollar to Treasury markets. And check 32 +|31 |00:06:22,170 ~-~-> 00:06:31,860 |out what the overall risk tone is in the stock market are the averages again confirming using Dow Theory? If they're not, it may be an indication that there 33 +|32 |00:06:31,860 ~-~-> 00:06:41,580 |may be a short term and or longer term shift taking place in the marketplace. Then I obviously look at the CRB index i try to get a feel for Are we still in a 34 +|33 |00:06:41,580 ~-~-> 00:06:50,730 |risk on risk off scenario that's confirmed with the commodity markets and if the CRB is bullish, that would indicate that we are in fact risk one. And that would 35 +|34 |00:06:50,730 ~-~-> 00:07:00,600 |be bearish for the dollar and bullish for foreign currencies. And obviously, it always helps to look at a few other select markets like gold and oil, because 36 +|35 |00:07:00,600 ~-~-> 00:07:04,800 |those are good barometers for risk on risk off as well. 37 +|36 |00:07:10,590 ~-~-> 00:07:23,220 |For the anticipatory stage, okay, the first stage of analysis is always going to be the anticipatory stage, okay, you're going to spend more time in this stage 38 +|37 |00:07:23,220 ~-~-> 00:07:33,540 |of your analysis than any other stage. And it begins with seasonal tendencies. That could be the are we in the bush quarter or a bearish quarter based on price 39 +|38 |00:07:33,540 ~-~-> 00:07:44,760 |action? Are we in an area where seasonally we expect prices to rally or decline? That there's a subtle taste that takes place in generally every marketplace 40 +|39 |00:07:44,760 ~-~-> 00:07:53,280 |there, that is tradable? And it's my advice to use that then learn what they are, and I'm going to share with you a few of them that are very strong in this, 41 +|40 |00:07:54,450 ~-~-> 00:08:03,210 |this presentation over the course of this presentation, you're gonna learn more, but you have to have an understanding of where we are seasonally. And obviously, 42 +|41 |00:08:03,990 ~-~-> 00:08:12,930 |you know, while we're looking for seasonal influences in the marketplace, you're always watching that yield SMT. Okay, you know, we're just looking for the triad 43 +|42 |00:08:12,930 ~-~-> 00:08:20,460 |to be diverging comparable to the highs and the lows, one's going to fail to make a higher high. And that's going to give you an indication that we're 44 +|43 |00:08:20,460 ~-~-> 00:08:30,210 |probably seeing a shift from risk on to risk off, and vice versa. Okay. And we always look at correlated pairs that we trade, and it's good to be a specialist 45 +|44 |00:08:30,210 ~-~-> 00:08:40,500 |in market trading, because it's not, to me, it's me, it's never been advantageous to be a trader in every single every market, okay? Because you 46 +|45 |00:08:40,500 ~-~-> 00:08:48,000 |can't watch too many things at one time you have a really good relationship with the marketplace. If you spread too thin, obviously, you How are you going to get 47 +|46 |00:08:48,000 ~-~-> 00:08:56,730 |a fix on what's going on in price. So be a specialist, you know, pick one or two markers that closely correlated strongly correlated, and inspecting is basically 48 +|47 |00:08:57,480 ~-~-> 00:09:11,460 |trade likes, look at correlate highs and lows. And obviously, you and me looking at the stock market indices, NASDAQ Composite Index, the s&p and such. Okay, 49 +|48 |00:09:11,460 ~-~-> 00:09:19,170 |every week, you want to be maintaining a watchful eye on the CO T and we watch the net serious position. Okay, the overall net position, are they bullish or 50 +|49 |00:09:19,170 ~-~-> 00:09:28,500 |bearish? And are they lessening or increasing their shorts? That's going to be an indication whether or not the market is in fact, bullish, bearish or if the 51 +|50 |00:09:28,500 ~-~-> 00:09:39,960 |current market moves been on their way is in fact legit or if it's not. You always watch the open interest and the premiums between the nearby in next month 52 +|51 |00:09:39,960 ~-~-> 00:09:51,030 |out on your currencies. And you're going to be looking for indications that there may be a strong demand for or waning demand. If there is a premium for 53 +|52 |00:09:51,030 ~-~-> 00:10:05,100 |that particular market. market sentiment obviously, you know, this could be derived that by using online market vein numbers, we can look at sentiment based 54 +|53 |00:10:05,100 ~-~-> 00:10:13,650 |on chatter that's going on in the news, the forums, talking heads on TV, if everybody's expecting the same thing, it's generally going to be the other way. 55 +|54 |00:10:14,040 ~-~-> 00:10:23,700 |And obviously, we always have a watchful eye on key higher time frame support resistance levels. That is the mack daddy of all things that we do in technical 56 +|55 |00:10:23,700 ~-~-> 00:10:38,610 |analysis, understand our key support resistance levels. Alright, the execution stage before we take any trade before we do any order entry, okay, once we have 57 +|56 |00:10:38,610 ~-~-> 00:10:48,810 |a higher timeframe, top down analysis done, we have an understanding of where we are at in terms of yields and interest rates. Okay, we got to get for the day 58 +|57 |00:10:48,810 ~-~-> 00:10:58,500 |that you would actually be doing any trading, you still get a market, major market tone, or are we still bullish overall going into the new day? And what I 59 +|58 |00:10:58,500 ~-~-> 00:11:07,800 |mean by that, what are we risk on a row scarf, you have to understand this, because if you're buying generally in a risk on scenario, that's good. But if 60 +|59 |00:11:07,800 ~-~-> 00:11:13,470 |you're buying foreign currencies in a risk off scenario, you have the tide moving against you. And it's very, very difficult to make money in that 61 +|60 |00:11:13,470 ~-~-> 00:11:23,310 |situation. So it pays to understanding what it is you're doing every single day. And judging what markets doing going into London, are we rejecting highs or 62 +|61 |00:11:23,310 ~-~-> 00:11:32,610 |rejecting lows, probably pricing in the daily low daily high, you want to be trading in that direction on premise. And obviously it goes without saying that 63 +|62 |00:11:32,610 ~-~-> 00:11:42,870 |if we have a buy or sell for programming, higher timeframe, based on directional premise on monthly, weekly, daily, and for our if we're in a bull program, by 64 +|63 |00:11:42,870 ~-~-> 00:11:45,210 |program rather, you will be focusing on the buy signals. 65 +|64 |00:11:47,700 ~-~-> 00:11:57,510 |Obviously, we have to have our macro support resistance levels from the higher time frame monthly, weekly, daily for hour and one hour on our sub 60 minute 66 +|65 |00:11:57,510 ~-~-> 00:12:05,160 |charts. So in other words, our 515 minute charts have to have these higher time frame support resistance levels in the chart, you have to see them be aware of 67 +|66 |00:12:05,160 ~-~-> 00:12:11,580 |them, okay, don't just have them written on your piece of paper, having your chart, look at them know where they are, where they're at, you'll get a better 68 +|67 |00:12:11,580 ~-~-> 00:12:21,420 |feel for what price is actually trying to do. market structure. Okay, before we execute, we have to understand where are we at. If we're bullish, we're looking 69 +|68 |00:12:21,420 ~-~-> 00:12:29,310 |for intermediate term or long term lows on the left hand side of our chart, okay, so we're going to be looking for short term to medium term lows to be 70 +|69 |00:12:29,310 ~-~-> 00:12:40,680 |keying off of to get ourselves in sync with the higher time frame macro view. Okay, and market structure is a key role in that understanding in execution and 71 +|70 |00:12:40,710 ~-~-> 00:12:49,260 |your trading. If you're bearish, okay, you want to be seeing out long term or short term high on the left hand side of your chart. And where you're trading 72 +|71 |00:12:49,260 ~-~-> 00:12:57,120 |now you'll be shooting for intermediate term highs or short term highs to be getting short and getting in sync with that overall market structure that is 73 +|72 |00:12:57,120 ~-~-> 00:13:10,470 |bearish. The market flow obviously, you have to understand simply because the market is poised to trade higher. And technically, yields may be moving up and 74 +|73 |00:13:10,470 ~-~-> 00:13:21,870 |risk or all those things are in place. You know, support has been traded to it makes a lot easier trading if we use market flow and a higher timeframe for our 75 +|74 |00:13:21,870 ~-~-> 00:13:32,250 |daily to make sure that we have the tide in our favor. Okay, and then once it starts moving, it makes trading a lot easier. Okay, so we have a bullish market 76 +|75 |00:13:32,250 ~-~-> 00:13:43,020 |structure, bullish market flow with a bullish macro view, okay, and we're trading with risk on scenarios in a buy program. Now, simply moving to a simple 77 +|76 |00:13:43,050 ~-~-> 00:13:55,410 |time and price theory of expecting the low to form during London. Okay, you can expect the Asian range to be a very key role in your order placement, you'd be 78 +|77 |00:13:55,410 ~-~-> 00:14:03,360 |looking for the Asian range high or less to look for your buy signals. And vice versa. If you're expecting a risk off scenario, you'd be using the time of day 79 +|78 |00:14:03,360 ~-~-> 00:14:15,540 |principle of the Asian range low or greater looking for a Judas swing up and looking for your shorts to be anywhere in the London open and or the New York 80 +|79 |00:14:15,540 ~-~-> 00:14:27,210 |open sessions to be keying off of that directional premise in the higher timeframe. Drill down through all the steps we just covered here. More detail 81 +|80 |00:14:27,270 ~-~-> 00:14:36,390 |obviously will be given as we go through actual real top down analysis and real breakdown of the market moved it took place in the spring into summer months of 82 +|81 |00:14:36,390 ~-~-> 00:14:46,470 |2012. But for now what we're doing is is we're outlining really the top down approach in a nutshell so that we you going into your charts every day. This is 83 +|82 |00:14:46,470 ~-~-> 00:14:54,600 |the framework that you should have in your your psyche as a trader, what it is that you're doing every day is it on a daily basis. Is it the same thing over 84 +|83 |00:14:54,600 ~-~-> 00:15:01,320 |and over again, this is my routine. You may tweak it a little bit. You may take some things out of here and move it around. You do something a little bit 85 +|84 |00:15:01,320 ~-~-> 00:15:09,570 |different in terms of order. But these are essential to me in terms of my concepts, my material, the things that I use when I do my analysis. Then 86 +|85 |00:15:09,570 ~-~-> 00:15:18,540 |finally, once we understand what we're supposed to be doing based on the hard timeframe premise, it goes into your order entries. Okay, and 90% of the time, 87 +|86 |00:15:18,570 ~-~-> 00:15:31,230 |I'm using limit orders to get in and get out and stop orders for protection. And unless I'm trading a breakout, and I wanted to keep buying strength, or selling 88 +|87 |00:15:31,230 ~-~-> 00:15:39,300 |weakness, okay, that's the only time I'm using a stop just 10% of the time. So what does that tell you? 90% of the time, I'm not trading breakouts. Okay, I'm 89 +|88 |00:15:39,300 ~-~-> 00:15:48,450 |actually fading the market moves, trade entry orders, we're going to talk about that in the last module, because we're gonna actually give you specific orders 90 +|89 |00:15:48,450 ~-~-> 00:15:59,700 |and specific examples on how to use these orders for actual demo trading counts. So you can you can practice in the sandbox and see whether or not these things 91 +|90 |00:15:59,730 ~-~-> 00:16:15,270 |work for you going forward. Alright, the reactionary stage right there, um, basically, there's times the market where, if you're in the trade, okay, and you 92 +|91 |00:16:15,270 ~-~-> 00:16:27,150 |have little to no movement at all, you've anticipated a market move, and price does go stagnant, it goes nowhere, it just starts going sideways, okay? That's a 93 +|92 |00:16:27,150 ~-~-> 00:16:37,860 |time for you to more or less kill the trade, especially if you're expecting a price move. And we're moving into a specific time of day where volatility should 94 +|93 |00:16:37,860 ~-~-> 00:16:44,700 |be increasing, but it isn't. Okay, it's just better just to close the trade. Do not 95 +|94 |00:16:44,700 ~-~-> 00:16:55,950 |expect your success to be hinged upon one single event, one single trading day, okay. And I think if you really take a look at your heaviest losses, look at 96 +|95 |00:16:55,950 ~-~-> 00:17:07,290 |your biggest losing days, okay? Or your string of losing days. I guarantee if you go back the mindset you had going into that trade is that you are expecting 97 +|96 |00:17:07,290 ~-~-> 00:17:16,980 |and hoping and praying that this move is the winner. This is going to be the one that puts you over the top or get you back to even okay. Don't Don't think like 98 +|97 |00:17:16,980 ~-~-> 00:17:30,780 |that. Okay. demand the tools to place you in optimal trade entry. If it doesn't provide you that and you don't see a very short term near term feedback in your 99 +|98 |00:17:30,780 ~-~-> 00:17:37,800 |trade? In other words, are you seeing the things that you're expecting in terms of volatility? Are you seeing a rejection at the lows that you were buying into? 100 +|99 |00:17:38,010 ~-~-> 00:17:44,220 |Are you seeing are you seeing follow through the upside after you bought that long, if you're not seeing that, and it's going stagnant, and you're getting 101 +|100 |00:17:44,220 ~-~-> 00:17:53,460 |close to the end of the day, going to the London close? Or if you're going into New York open, okay, and prices are stagnant. It may actually bounce up against 102 +|101 |00:17:53,460 ~-~-> 00:18:02,280 |you, if you're, if you're short. Or if you're if you're long, it may actually pull back against you or could just go into a longer term consolidation. Why sit 103 +|102 |00:18:02,280 ~-~-> 00:18:12,180 |in it? Okay, if it's showing you failure to move, that's your time to react, kill the trade. There's no risk now. Okay? If it runs off, and if you would have 104 +|103 |00:18:12,180 ~-~-> 00:18:24,330 |stayed in made money, big deal, let it go. Okay. But we act quickly when trying to preserve our capital. We act slowly when we're trying to make money okay, we 105 +|104 |00:18:24,330 ~-~-> 00:18:35,730 |want to be methodical we want to be very very focused. Okay, in detail oriented, when it comes to exposing our money to risk we want to really put it to work 106 +|105 |00:18:35,940 ~-~-> 00:18:47,430 |when there's something highly probable in our favorite to take advantage of why risk on very low odd setups there's no reason to use enough of them happening in 107 +|106 |00:18:47,430 ~-~-> 00:18:54,660 |a week there's enough I'm happening in a month and over the year Good grief, you have tons and tons opportunity to make money. Don't sit in questionable trades. 108 +|107 |00:18:54,810 ~-~-> 00:19:03,540 |If it's not moving for you kill the trade take another setup. If you see rejection of the key support level that's counter your expectation or you're 109 +|108 |00:19:03,540 ~-~-> 00:19:14,670 |injured and you're in a trade kill it, why eat up open profits, okay? Turn your paper profits into literal profits go to cash, move to the sidelines, take your 110 +|109 |00:19:14,670 ~-~-> 00:19:25,590 |profits and get out. Okay? If you see rejection, strong rejection, something comes across the wires and hits you you know unexpectedly which you know in the 111 +|110 |00:19:25,590 ~-~-> 00:19:34,830 |event that major catastrophe or global national event something that nature you know, that can rock the markets you never really know when that's gonna happen. 112 +|111 |00:19:35,190 ~-~-> 00:19:43,710 |So if you see that it's this better this the collapse the trade and just get out. You could always get back in. Always get back in even for those folks that 113 +|112 |00:19:43,710 ~-~-> 00:19:54,720 |are in carry trades. Okay, you can get back in those moves. Okay. And look what happened in Japan. If, you know, the earthquake hit New tsunami took out new 114 +|113 |00:19:55,530 ~-~-> 00:20:05,850 |reactors and the whole world's waiting for New Japan. You slip into notion in dissolve those things, we can't expect them the other acts of God. So we have 115 +|114 |00:20:05,850 ~-~-> 00:20:15,240 |to, more or less take ourselves out of out of the risk environment, okay in stand on the sidelines where there's no more risk, okay? And we can you 116 +|115 |00:20:15,240 ~-~-> 00:20:25,560 |hopefully gain a more objective view of the marketplace and then react objective news with objective analysis, not you reactionary. gambling and trying to get in 117 +|116 |00:20:25,560 ~-~-> 00:20:34,890 |there and throw the dice and chase that near the market chasing you mentality, it. That's not, that's not how we make money, okay? You want to react by getting 118 +|117 |00:20:34,890 ~-~-> 00:20:43,230 |out and take yourself out of the risk. And obviously, if you're sick, and if you have a life event that takes place and requires your time, your kids might have 119 +|118 |00:20:43,230 ~-~-> 00:20:51,510 |something that you know, requires you as a parent, where your spouse needs you to do something with them. You What takes precedence is your relationship in the 120 +|119 |00:20:51,510 ~-~-> 00:20:59,790 |real world or the charts. Okay? Hopefully, you know, I appreciate you guys want to spend time with me in these video modules, but I certainly enjoy it, but I 121 +|120 |00:20:59,790 ~-~-> 00:21:08,400 |enjoy my family more. And you know, if it's going to be a choice, whether if it's you and YouTube and baby pips, it's going to be my family. Okay, so if 122 +|121 |00:21:08,400 ~-~-> 00:21:17,370 |something takes place that requires me and my time or if I get sick, you gotta react if you're in a, in a trade, and you just think that you're not going to be 123 +|122 |00:21:17,370 ~-~-> 00:21:27,240 |able to adequately manage the position, react, React responsibly, and just collapse the trade and or tighten up the stop loss. So that way, if you do fall, 124 +|123 |00:21:27,540 ~-~-> 00:21:34,200 |ill or you fall, disconnected to the marketplace, because of life events that need to take place, maybe there's a death in your family, 125 +|124 |00:21:34,800 ~-~-> 00:21:44,160 |you're going to be able to think objectively during that. Okay, grief can have a major impact on a trade your psyche, and it's just better, just more or less, 126 +|125 |00:21:44,400 ~-~-> 00:21:47,280 |remove yourself from the risk. Okay, and you can always get back in. 127 +|126 |00:21:52,710 ~-~-> 00:22:08,460 |Alright guys, fractal analysis in price action. Alright, what's a fractal? Well, a fractal is a pattern in nature, and in many things that, you know, as a as a 128 +|127 |00:22:08,460 ~-~-> 00:22:21,180 |Christian, okay. I believe there is a creator. Okay. And I give thanks to him on a daily basis for the insights that I've been blessed with. And I share with 129 +|128 |00:22:21,180 ~-~-> 00:22:34,140 |you. I think that fractals are one little signature on his part. Also, that the industry they just said, there's a design to this, okay, everything around this 130 +|129 |00:22:34,320 ~-~-> 00:22:49,230 |has a specific design. Okay, there it shows intelligence behind it. And everything in nature has this same phenomenon. It's much like Fibonacci. But a 131 +|130 |00:22:49,230 ~-~-> 00:23:03,240 |fractal is defined simply as a pattern that is repeated in infinite size up and down. In other words, something that you see on one scale, okay, if you scale 132 +|131 |00:23:03,240 ~-~-> 00:23:15,090 |into it and zoom in, you can see it same pattern repeated on lower levels. And obviously, the same thing, if you magnify it out and look at it as a macro view. 133 +|132 |00:23:16,170 ~-~-> 00:23:29,760 |Well, that same principle is in effect in price. Okay, and price, because I'll give you a real generic way of viewing it. When I say price. Okay, what comes to 134 +|133 |00:23:29,760 ~-~-> 00:23:40,290 |mind to you? Is it a daily chart? Is it a one minute chart? Is it a tick chart, for some of you have may have been a weekly chart, or it could have been a five 135 +|134 |00:23:40,290 ~-~-> 00:23:53,250 |minute chart, it doesn't matter what time frame that we are referring to, it's always just the last price. Think about that. You're looking at price right now. 136 +|135 |00:23:55,770 ~-~-> 00:24:09,090 |At the time of this recording, the cables trading at 161 74. That 164 by itself absolutely is useless to you, unless you have a understanding of where you're at 137 +|136 |00:24:09,180 ~-~-> 00:24:18,840 |in terms of the big picture. Okay, by having the big picture. And using a higher timeframe, perspective in your analysis and understanding key support resistance 138 +|137 |00:24:18,840 ~-~-> 00:24:29,040 |levels. You can go into the marketplace and see patterns that repeat over and over and over again. There's specific fractal patterns. And I'm not gonna reveal 139 +|138 |00:24:29,040 ~-~-> 00:24:39,630 |them all in this module, but you'll have a few of them shared throughout the presentation over the last few parts of the series. But the fractal analysis 140 +|139 |00:24:39,660 ~-~-> 00:24:50,580 |concept can be applied to the simple optimal trade entry. Okay. What does that mean? How do we how do we go into the marketplace looking for a fractal? What is 141 +|140 |00:24:50,580 ~-~-> 00:24:57,750 |it? Okay, it's one thing that you, myself and other folks don't understand fractal analysis. We can go and show you a chart in hindsight say look, this is 142 +|141 |00:24:57,750 ~-~-> 00:25:06,960 |where this did that. This is where it that's Great, okay, but without a firm understanding what a fractal is, and what it looks like and how it's applied to 143 +|142 |00:25:06,960 ~-~-> 00:25:16,530 |the marketplace is not going to do anybody any good. Okay, so this section is really just going to highlight an example of one form of a fractal. Okay. And 144 +|143 |00:25:16,560 ~-~-> 00:25:26,640 |there's all types of fractals there. So there's many different kinds of fractals in terms of price action. But the main thing is, is if you can't understand what 145 +|144 |00:25:26,640 ~-~-> 00:25:37,500 |a fractal is, on a higher time frame premise, okay? It's going to mean little, to no good use to you, if you're trying to apply it to intraday charts. Okay, so 146 +|145 |00:25:37,530 ~-~-> 00:25:47,310 |what am I, what am I saying here? Okay, well, in this example, we're going to talk about a fractal, okay? And this is going to give you a price swing, and 147 +|146 |00:25:47,310 ~-~-> 00:25:59,010 |we're going to more or less break it down and show you more insights on how price in itself works within a fractal nature. Alright, we're looking at, it 148 +|147 |00:25:59,010 ~-~-> 00:26:10,620 |could be any price, any commodity, any stock, it could be anything. But for now, we're just going to talk about this being a currency pair. Okay. So price is 149 +|148 |00:26:10,620 ~-~-> 00:26:20,850 |trading within a specific range. Okay. And we noticed that above where price is currently, this is a key resistance level, okay. One would expect if we're this 150 +|149 |00:26:20,910 ~-~-> 00:26:31,890 |close to it, price would eventually try to run up to that key resistance level. Now as price runs higher and approaches that resistance level, at some point, it 151 +|150 |00:26:31,890 ~-~-> 00:26:42,120 |will hit that level, we as traders, and technical traders, we would expect reasonably there would be a pullback or a bounce away from that particular price 152 +|151 |00:26:42,120 ~-~-> 00:26:51,630 |level. At some point price will come down in that retracement, okay, in swing low, make a small little short term low. 153 +|152 |00:26:51,930 ~-~-> 00:27:03,120 |When that takes place, we now have a new reference point for short term support. Okay. Now, obviously, if we have short term support here, and a key resistance 154 +|153 |00:27:03,120 ~-~-> 00:27:13,080 |level like that, a technical trader like we are, are aspiring to be when prices starting to bounce, again, on a short term basis, we could reasonably expect or 155 +|154 |00:27:13,080 ~-~-> 00:27:25,350 |anticipate another retest or run attempt to get back to that resistance level. Okay. At some point, it may get up there and blow through it, but many times it 156 +|155 |00:27:25,350 ~-~-> 00:27:34,230 |will fail to do that. Okay, and then start to come back down again. Now, here's where if you understand optimal trade entry, in which is basically 60 to 70% to 157 +|156 |00:27:34,230 ~-~-> 00:27:47,670 |a certain level on a price swing, if you see this, this could lower you into believing that this could be perhaps a bull flag. It could be perhaps another 158 +|157 |00:27:48,090 ~-~-> 00:28:04,110 |ABCD price extension, okay, or it could be a top Okay, we have to go back to that higher timeframe resistance level, that takes precedence that is the one 159 +|158 |00:28:04,110 ~-~-> 00:28:15,840 |that we have more emphasis behind not the short term little blips in the marketplace, okay. We expect sellers to be heavier in market than buyers. Okay, 160 +|159 |00:28:15,840 ~-~-> 00:28:29,640 |and we anticipate price to break below the low here. Okay, if we see that break below, okay, that's going to give us a shift in what market flow and market 161 +|160 |00:28:29,640 ~-~-> 00:28:43,290 |structure we're looking at a market that's breaking down if this low is taken out. Now, if price does break down lower and breaks through that now we are 162 +|161 |00:28:43,290 ~-~-> 00:28:57,870 |confirmed, we have a bearish market flow and a early market structure reversal Okay. So now, we could reasonably expect this higher timeframe optimal trade 163 +|162 |00:28:57,870 ~-~-> 00:29:11,430 |entry Okay. That would be the higher timeframe turning point. And now we can look for continued sell signals, okay. So we see here a very standard optimal 164 +|163 |00:29:11,430 ~-~-> 00:29:25,800 |trade entry top formation the market broke down okay. In itself, this is a fractal. Okay, look at this pattern right here. This in itself is a pattern that 165 +|164 |00:29:25,800 ~-~-> 00:29:39,630 |is applicable in fractal analysis. As price breaks down and moves further lower, okay, go back to the concepts that we just learned in part two of the trading 166 +|165 |00:29:39,630 ~-~-> 00:29:54,570 |plan development series. Range contraction, range expansion and trading range to trend trading rings the trend, okay, so consolidation, to trend consolidation to 167 +|166 |00:29:54,570 ~-~-> 00:30:05,640 |trend in this region here, even though we saw price movement, up, down, up Up down to make the optimal trade entry formation here. That's still a 168 +|167 |00:30:05,640 ~-~-> 00:30:22,800 |consolidation. See the range here? That's a consolidation, this move here is the trend, okay, or the price swing out of consolidation. So now, when price breaks 169 +|168 |00:30:22,800 ~-~-> 00:30:32,400 |down like this, what do we as technical traders expect to see another consolidation. So what's going to take place in the consolidation is going to be 170 +|169 |00:30:32,400 ~-~-> 00:30:45,360 |a bounce, it could trade up to another resistance level, okay, which would be an old support and price will eventually trade back into a consolidation. Okay, and 171 +|170 |00:30:45,360 ~-~-> 00:30:58,770 |we can now look for inside this consolidation, smaller, short term, optimal trade entry tops. Thank you, we have a higher time frame price leg that's 172 +|171 |00:30:58,770 ~-~-> 00:31:14,520 |already turned on a higher timeframe key support and resistance level. As price broke down, we are now in our minds focusing on lower level 515 one hour basis, 173 +|172 |00:31:15,390 ~-~-> 00:31:26,130 |optimal trade entries to look for what lower prices, okay, so by having this mindset going in, and trading during consolidations, we're essentially limiting 174 +|173 |00:31:26,130 ~-~-> 00:31:38,460 |our exposure to the market by only selling short. Oh, basically an established weak market. Okay. And we have a bias going into our analysis. So we're not 175 +|174 |00:31:38,460 ~-~-> 00:31:44,730 |going to be subjective and, and just be logged into you buying and selling buying and selling simply because 176 +|175 |00:31:44,820 ~-~-> 00:31:54,750 |the price is doing whatever it's doing at the time we sit down in front of our monitors. We're focused on one specific process and we have the higher time 177 +|176 |00:31:54,750 ~-~-> 00:32:03,300 |frame support resistance levels on our or on our side, we have the fact that we have broken market structure, market flows on our side. Okay, because now think 178 +|177 |00:32:03,540 ~-~-> 00:32:17,100 |just looking at this price chart right here if this is a currency market flow is still bearish until we take out this swing high. Before this swing high formed, 179 +|178 |00:32:17,340 ~-~-> 00:32:27,570 |market structure was still bearish until this swing high was taken out. Obviously, we keep making lower lows and lower highs. And we maintain a sell 180 +|179 |00:32:27,720 ~-~-> 00:32:42,180 |scenario in our trading, looking for shorter term. You know, words, lesser timeframe, fractal pattern of optimal trade entry tops, okay? Again, price will 181 +|180 |00:32:42,180 ~-~-> 00:32:52,650 |stay within this consolidation as price moves up inside of each one of these price legs. Every single one of these, if this is a daily chart, everyone needs 182 +|181 |00:32:52,650 ~-~-> 00:33:03,240 |smaller price swings in here. If you look at smaller timeframe charts, you'll see optimal trade entries on a lower timeframe near the highs and the tops. 183 +|182 |00:33:03,630 ~-~-> 00:33:11,430 |They're going to be there because it's fractal in nature. Okay, it's gonna be there, I guarantee you, we're gonna look at some examples. Cuz I know you're 184 +|183 |00:33:11,430 ~-~-> 00:33:18,180 |probably scratching his head. Okay, this is great you to show me a line chart, Michael, but I really want to see want to be able to digest what you're what 185 +|184 |00:33:18,180 ~-~-> 00:33:24,630 |you're showing me and I'm gonna get to that. But this is the theory. Okay, so we, we have to have this before we go into the price chart. Otherwise, this is 186 +|185 |00:33:24,630 ~-~-> 00:33:34,620 |just one look like I'm cherry picking. Eventually, price will move outside of the consolidation, and into a trending move again. So we move from 187 +|186 |00:33:34,650 ~-~-> 00:33:45,690 |consolidation, to trending move to consolidation to trending move. Now we have a complete fractal on the higher timeframe inside of this overall price structure. 188 +|187 |00:33:46,500 ~-~-> 00:33:57,690 |This pattern can be broken down into smaller sub units on the lower timeframes. And you'll see the same pattern you see here on the lower timeframes as well. By 189 +|188 |00:33:57,690 ~-~-> 00:34:06,420 |having this perspective, going into your analysis, having it on a higher timeframe first and then moving down to a lower timeframe, it helps with your 190 +|189 |00:34:06,420 ~-~-> 00:34:13,710 |daily bias. It keeps you on the right side of the market, generally unless there's a major market reversal. But hopefully if you if you're monitoring the 191 +|190 |00:34:13,710 ~-~-> 00:34:21,660 |macro view Anyway, you should be anticipating that anyone less is an act of God or something new. Unexpected takes place in rocks the market. 192 +|191 |00:34:26,970 ~-~-> 00:34:40,770 |Okay, so we have our fractal pattern here. It's a down swing in prices a swing that you can see in any timeframe. It's not limited to any specific one. But 193 +|192 |00:34:41,550 ~-~-> 00:34:54,150 |what would it look like in a real chart? Well, it just so happens that I'm looking at the cable and we're going to use today's example. So it's it's more 194 +|193 |00:34:54,150 ~-~-> 00:35:01,440 |timely. It's it's something that you can look at right now. I know some of you probably are watching this video. Probably years from the time I did the 195 +|194 |00:35:01,440 ~-~-> 00:35:15,990 |recording, but as of the moment I did this I screen captured what price was dealing and this is a 15 minute chart of the cable British Pound USD alright and 196 +|195 |00:35:16,020 ~-~-> 00:35:28,710 |if you look at this alright if you look at this we have a major resistance level here 163 price trades up to that much in the same way we are our crude example 197 +|196 |00:35:28,770 ~-~-> 00:35:40,860 |to the left shows price goes up comes down okay and then comes up and makes another attempt to get back to that resistance level but it fails and it gives 198 +|197 |00:35:40,860 ~-~-> 00:35:54,780 |you an optimal trade entry note this low right here and now the fractal example in the upper left that's that low that would shift everything to bearish okay 199 +|198 |00:35:55,710 ~-~-> 00:36:07,230 |that is broken here. So, now what you would be looking for is optimal trade entry sell patterns because now you are an established bearish market okay. 200 +|199 |00:36:07,650 ~-~-> 00:36:18,210 |Everything you do from that point on should be looked for selling okay even your scalps okay? If you're an intraday trader look for smaller short term optimal 201 +|200 |00:36:18,210 ~-~-> 00:36:29,250 |trade entry sell signals okay. Focusing on one pattern in fractal in nature you can find several opportunities in this example alone that gives you optimal 202 +|201 |00:36:29,250 ~-~-> 00:36:47,040 |trade entries. For instance this optimal trade entry that we see here when it broke this example of market flow changing to bearish this swing high has to 203 +|202 |00:36:47,040 ~-~-> 00:37:00,990 |break before it becomes bullish again price moves lower trades up and inside here just this small little timeframe moving in here is a small optimal trade 204 +|203 |00:37:00,990 ~-~-> 00:37:12,420 |entry in here and sells off look at this high here to this high here I mean this low here, do you see how price trades down up into an optimal trade entry and 205 +|204 |00:37:12,420 ~-~-> 00:37:26,850 |then look at the sell off see that look at this high here in this low here in this high here? That's optimal trade entry. Okay. Look how many times it gives 206 +|205 |00:37:26,850 ~-~-> 00:37:42,210 |you optimal trade entries just in that small section of time. See this high here to this low here price trades down comes all the way back up. Optimal trade 207 +|206 |00:37:42,210 ~-~-> 00:37:53,700 |entry sells off again. Look at the price structure here it trades down comes back up optimal trade entry again sells off. You see how by using a higher time 208 +|207 |00:37:53,700 ~-~-> 00:38:06,090 |frame premise. You can use fractal fractal analysis to keep you on one side of the market keying off of one specific approach to trading in this case being a 209 +|208 |00:38:06,090 ~-~-> 00:38:25,170 |seller and it will keep you more or less you with the right bias Okay. Now notice the high to low here. Okay this high to this low. This is one price lake 210 +|209 |00:38:25,530 ~-~-> 00:38:36,780 |or one major dominant price swing then we had a major retracement deep in here. Okay? If you go and look at these high here to this low we have a optimal trade 211 +|210 |00:38:36,780 ~-~-> 00:38:51,300 |entry. Okay. So now think about it. We use the fractal pattern here in this leg here, but now zoom out and don't look so close. In other words if we move maybe 212 +|211 |00:38:51,300 ~-~-> 00:39:07,320 |to an hourly chart you would see this high to this low up to this high as a fractal pattern and sync capacity it shows here okay. So this high to the low 213 +|212 |00:39:07,740 ~-~-> 00:39:20,310 |would be more or less established in an example of being this high this low. And this low to this high would be crudely exampled by this low to this high. So 214 +|213 |00:39:20,310 ~-~-> 00:39:26,310 |watch what happens the same concept is now going to be applied with this price swing from high 215 +|214 |00:39:26,970 ~-~-> 00:39:40,230 |to low to high. This is the low market structure breaks down here. Okay, see this low? It breaks right there. So now what do you do? You look for optimal 216 +|215 |00:39:40,230 ~-~-> 00:39:55,380 |trade entry shorts. Here's your high trades down to a low starts to run up. What do you expect optimal trade entry? high low. Here's your retracement down. Look 217 +|216 |00:39:55,380 ~-~-> 00:40:10,230 |it happens again. See this high to this low also Trade entry down. Okay? Same thing here very short term, high, down to low. And in here, this is where we 218 +|217 |00:40:10,230 ~-~-> 00:40:23,790 |start to see what a breakdown did not fulfill. Look what happens here. See what's to happen we have this high turn. So now we have a probable change in 219 +|218 |00:40:23,790 ~-~-> 00:40:36,660 |direction, where now market flow has shifted to bullishness. So this, this fractal is now a replication of this price swing. So if we look at this high to 220 +|219 |00:40:36,660 ~-~-> 00:40:49,770 |this low in terms of pit magnitude and odds, the price swing, it's replicated in terms of distance in the words this range from low to high is essentially the 221 +|220 |00:40:49,770 ~-~-> 00:40:52,920 |same thing you see here, this high to this low 222 +|221 |00:40:59,880 ~-~-> 00:41:12,660 |market turning points. Alright, we talked about market flow, and we talked about market structure. But without having it understood on the actual individual 223 +|222 |00:41:12,660 ~-~-> 00:41:21,330 |candles or bars. You know, it can be a little unnerving to some folks that are just starting to watch this and scratching their head thinking, you know, what, 224 +|223 |00:41:21,360 ~-~-> 00:41:32,100 |what am I supposed to be looking for? Well, regardless of what time frame you're looking at, okay, if you have a pattern that is looking for a sell scenario, 225 +|224 |00:41:32,550 ~-~-> 00:41:45,720 |okay, you're looking for a sell scenario, there are several opportunities to use price to get you into a move. Okay, and for instance, we're gonna take this is a 226 +|225 |00:41:45,930 ~-~-> 00:41:54,720 |turning point for a sell as price runs up, and we're going to be assuming that this is a resistance level open here of some kind. And maybe this is a five 227 +|226 |00:41:54,720 ~-~-> 00:42:03,420 |minute chart. Okay, you zoom down to a five minute chart into that resistance level and a time of day when you would expect the turn to take place for 228 +|227 |00:42:03,420 ~-~-> 00:42:12,420 |instance, in London. And we see the price run up okay, on this one, one kilohertz is going to represent in this example a five minute candle, then we 229 +|228 |00:42:12,420 ~-~-> 00:42:23,910 |see the lower candle here form. So now we have a five minute swing high. Now price will come down, okay, and it may even come up here. Now, what does this 230 +|229 |00:42:23,910 ~-~-> 00:42:41,700 |look like? This would be what an optimal trade entry sell signal, okay? In here, okay, in here, we have another short term, swing high. This is a high with two 231 +|230 |00:42:41,700 ~-~-> 00:42:50,730 |lower highs on sorry with the two lower highs on either side of it. So if you see this pattern, okay, in this whole range, this whole range could be as little 232 +|231 |00:42:50,730 ~-~-> 00:43:04,890 |as five pips. 10 pips, okay? You could be selling right here on this candle at market, okay, or you can use a break below this candle here on a sell stop. 233 +|232 |00:43:05,430 ~-~-> 00:43:16,740 |Okay, so if you if you break down here, so be selling on a stop or selling at the market, okay, or using this low here. Okay, because we have a low with a 234 +|233 |00:43:16,740 ~-~-> 00:43:26,760 |higher low on either side, this is a swing low, we can use this low as a indication to sell on a limit at this price or higher. So, for example, we'll 235 +|234 |00:43:26,760 ~-~-> 00:43:37,980 |say this is the cable, and this price is 161 50, we could have a limit order to sell at 161 50. And on this candle, right here, once we see this candle close, 236 +|235 |00:43:37,980 ~-~-> 00:43:48,540 |and this starts to open up here, entering a limit order at 161 50. To sell would fill you on this candle, and then we would expect an anticipate price to break 237 +|236 |00:43:48,540 ~-~-> 00:43:56,820 |down below this low. And when we see that, that's what you expect to see in market turning points and then you can you look for range expansion to the 238 +|237 |00:43:56,820 ~-~-> 00:44:09,990 |downside. And then manager stops above the respective storm the highs up here as well. Okay, obviously the same thing applies is reversing it. If we are 239 +|238 |00:44:09,990 ~-~-> 00:44:17,280 |expecting bullishness in the marketplace, we're going to assume that there's a support level down here. We wait for again, this is a five minute chart, we 240 +|239 |00:44:17,280 ~-~-> 00:44:27,990 |could see a low with two higher lows on either side of it here and price runs up. Okay, and eventually it starts to come back down again in here. It doesn't 241 +|240 |00:44:27,990 ~-~-> 00:44:39,420 |have to do this. Okay, you could just use the previous swing here. And if it breaks that, obviously that would be what you're looking for. But you want to be 242 +|241 |00:44:39,420 ~-~-> 00:44:46,350 |getting in before the expansion takes place you want to be getting in when prices on a tear tart, you're starting to run. You want to be in before that you 243 +|242 |00:44:46,350 ~-~-> 00:44:53,640 |want to be in the accumulation phase like we have here. This is a consolidation. You want to be in that. Okay. So if we do get opportunity where it comes back 244 +|243 |00:44:53,640 ~-~-> 00:45:03,210 |and gives you a smaller short term, optimal trade entry in here, that's ideal. Okay, so you can use the swing high here. Buy on a stop above this high here or 245 +|244 |00:45:03,240 ~-~-> 00:45:12,900 |you can put a limit order at this price or lower. Okay to get in long and then obviously you're using the swing low in 30 pips, 20 pips, whatever your risk 246 +|245 |00:45:12,900 ~-~-> 00:45:22,380 |manager is going to permit you for the trade to do your, your long setup. And then obviously you anticipate once you get in the move, you anticipate expansion 247 +|246 |00:45:22,380 ~-~-> 00:45:31,230 |and then when you start seeing these short term swing highs break out, okay, then you have what you expect to see in in your trade and then hopefully, you'll 248 +|247 |00:45:31,230 ~-~-> 00:45:34,560 |reach for your upper objectives in price for your profit taking 4 4 5 -2 6 -00:01:13,860 ~-~-> 00:01:18,630 7 -approach. Okay. And also, as we've always mentioned before 8 - 9 -3 10 -00:01:18,630 ~-~-> 00:01:22,770 11 -in previous examples of education in my work, everything 12 - 13 -4 14 -00:01:22,770 ~-~-> 00:01:26,040 15 -hinges upon the interest rate market. Okay, whenever you see 16 - 17 -5 18 -00:01:26,040 ~-~-> 00:01:30,390 19 -in the interest rate market, we'll have a driving force in 20 - 21 -6 22 -00:01:30,390 ~-~-> 00:01:34,020 23 -the United States Dollar Index, which is essentially the 24 - 25 -7 26 -00:01:34,530 ~-~-> 00:01:38,850 27 -barometer for corn currency markets if the US dollar is weak 28 - 29 -8 30 -00:01:39,150 ~-~-> 00:01:41,670 31 -at both 12 from bullish foreign currencies, and if the 32 - 33 -9 34 -00:01:41,670 ~-~-> 00:01:46,320 35 -United States dollar is bullish, it bodes poorly for foreign 36 - 37 -10 38 -00:01:46,320 ~-~-> 00:01:50,340 39 -currencies and expect lower prices and sympathy. And 40 - 41 -11 42 -00:01:50,340 ~-~-> 00:01:55,560 43 -obviously, that train of command maintains its impact across 44 - 45 -12 46 -00:01:55,560 ~-~-> 00:01:58,920 47 -all market asset classes that being the stock market, the 48 - 49 -13 50 -00:01:58,920 ~-~-> 00:02:02,760 51 -commodity markets as well. It's not limited to just currency 52 - 53 -14 54 -00:02:02,760 ~-~-> 00:02:07,200 55 -markets. So, obviously what do I mean by it all hinges on 56 - 57 -15 58 -00:02:07,200 ~-~-> 00:02:10,230 59 -the interest rate markets well we watch the 10 year five 60 - 61 -16 62 -00:02:10,230 ~-~-> 00:02:15,390 63 -year two year and 30 year market in the yields. Okay and by 64 - 65 -17 66 -00:02:15,390 ~-~-> 00:02:21,720 67 -looking at the yields, what we look for is generally the 68 - 69 -18 70 -00:02:21,720 ~-~-> 00:02:26,190 71 -yields are moving in tandem. Okay and then this example 72 - 73 -19 74 -00:02:26,190 ~-~-> 00:02:30,840 75 -crudely examples, we're looking at a downward shift in 76 - 77 -20 78 -00:02:30,870 ~-~-> 00:02:34,230 79 -yields. So that would indicate that yields are dropping, 80 - 81 -21 82 -00:02:34,500 ~-~-> 00:02:39,930 83 -that is a risk off scenario. So while risk is off, we are no 84 - 85 -22 86 -00:02:39,930 ~-~-> 00:02:43,170 87 -longer looking for buy signals, we're focusing more on the 88 - 89 -23 90 -00:02:43,170 ~-~-> 00:02:48,600 91 -sell side until we see a divergence in the yields okay. And 92 - 93 -24 94 -00:02:48,600 ~-~-> 00:02:53,130 95 -this could take form in five year it could be in a 10 year. 96 - 97 -25 98 -00:02:54,600 ~-~-> 00:02:56,250 99 -Generally you want to be looking at 100 - 101 -26 102 -00:02:56,670 ~-~-> 00:02:57,420 103 -three 104 - 105 -27 106 -00:02:58,470 ~-~-> 00:03:01,200 107 -yields like for instance, like actually trade the British 108 - 109 -28 110 -00:03:01,200 ~-~-> 00:03:05,580 111 -Pound in the fiber? Well, it's crossed with the US dollar. 112 - 113 -29 114 -00:03:05,580 ~-~-> 00:03:09,990 115 -So, the triad, the yield triad that I use is the US yields 116 - 117 -30 118 -00:03:10,020 ~-~-> 00:03:12,720 119 -the UK yields and the German yield test described here in 120 - 121 -31 122 -00:03:12,720 ~-~-> 00:03:16,050 123 -this again, rather crude example, at some point, and usually 124 - 125 -32 126 -00:03:16,050 ~-~-> 00:03:20,730 127 -between two to three months, couple times a year, there's a 128 - 129 -33 130 -00:03:20,730 ~-~-> 00:03:24,660 131 -shift that takes place in the interest rate market. And its 132 - 133 -34 134 -00:03:24,660 ~-~-> 00:03:29,250 135 -quarterly driven. So at some point, the yields will fail to 136 - 137 -35 138 -00:03:29,250 ~-~-> 00:03:32,310 139 -make comparable lows. Okay, and just think, but more or less 140 - 141 -36 142 -00:03:32,310 ~-~-> 00:03:35,250 143 -depth Dow Theory, because that's what I've applied here is 144 - 145 -37 146 -00:03:35,610 ~-~-> 00:03:38,490 147 -they have to confirm one another. If they don't confirm one 148 - 149 -38 150 -00:03:38,490 ~-~-> 00:03:41,850 151 -another, something's taking place. Fundamentally, I'm not 152 - 153 -39 154 -00:03:41,850 ~-~-> 00:03:44,190 155 -claiming to understand what it is fundamentally that's 156 - 157 -40 158 -00:03:44,190 ~-~-> 00:03:47,550 159 -taking place. I'm just stating that I see it in the chart, 160 - 161 -41 162 -00:03:47,940 ~-~-> 00:03:51,750 163 -following the yields, so one diverges in this example, you 164 - 165 -42 166 -00:03:51,750 ~-~-> 00:03:55,500 167 -see that the UK and the US yields failed to make lower lows 168 - 169 -43 170 -00:03:55,950 ~-~-> 00:03:59,640 171 -while the German yields did, okay, that's generally an 172 - 173 -44 174 -00:03:59,640 ~-~-> 00:04:04,290 175 -indication The German markets are less favored. But yes, 176 - 177 -45 178 -00:04:04,530 ~-~-> 00:04:08,730 179 -they probably will move up in 10 in sympathy. So now we see 180 - 181 -46 182 -00:04:08,730 ~-~-> 00:04:12,270 183 -a shift on their way now as yields are increasing for the 184 - 185 -47 186 -00:04:12,270 ~-~-> 00:04:16,530 187 -next quarter. This generally will be bullish for foreign 188 - 189 -48 190 -00:04:16,530 ~-~-> 00:04:21,330 191 -currencies and or bearish for the US dollar. And this will 192 - 193 -49 194 -00:04:21,330 ~-~-> 00:04:25,020 195 -maintain its impact over the market for a period of time 196 - 197 -50 198 -00:04:25,020 ~-~-> 00:04:29,940 199 -until at some point, the yields will encounter a resistance 200 - 201 -51 202 -00:04:30,060 ~-~-> 00:04:33,630 203 -level of some kind. And that's going to come in the form of 204 - 205 -52 206 -00:04:34,140 ~-~-> 00:04:38,130 207 -one yield failing to make a higher high and or more than one 208 - 209 -53 210 -00:04:38,160 ~-~-> 00:04:41,670 211 -Okay, so what you're doing is you're looking for a shift in 212 - 213 -54 214 -00:04:41,700 ~-~-> 00:04:44,700 215 -the overall trend of the yields, okay, so it's going to tip 216 - 217 -55 218 -00:04:44,700 ~-~-> 00:04:48,300 219 -your hand that something fundamentally is slowing down. 220 - 221 -56 222 -00:04:48,720 ~-~-> 00:04:52,170 223 -There's waning interest in risk and there may be a turn 224 - 225 -57 226 -00:04:52,200 ~-~-> 00:04:54,960 227 -likely done soon. So now you want to be a little bit more 228 - 229 -58 230 -00:04:54,960 ~-~-> 00:04:59,040 231 -cautious in your both buy signals. Because we may see a drop 232 - 233 -59 234 -00:04:59,040 ~-~-> 00:05:02,160 235 -in yields which would be a call scenario and then the dollar 236 - 237 -60 238 -00:05:02,160 ~-~-> 00:05:05,520 239 -should be rallying at this point. Okay, so these are the 240 - 241 -61 242 -00:05:05,520 ~-~-> 00:05:08,550 243 -concepts that you have to apply, beginning with your top 244 - 245 -62 246 -00:05:08,550 ~-~-> 00:05:11,340 247 -down analysis understanding are we in a risk on or risk off 248 - 249 -63 250 -00:05:11,340 ~-~-> 00:05:15,120 251 -scenario overall in the interest rate markets and then once 252 - 253 -64 254 -00:05:15,120 ~-~-> 00:05:19,710 255 -we have that, we can look at a more macro view down to a 256 - 257 -65 258 -00:05:19,710 ~-~-> 00:05:20,400 259 -micro view. 260 - 261 -66 262 -00:05:27,660 ~-~-> 00:05:30,540 263 -We are obviously beginning all of our analysis with the 264 - 265 -67 266 -00:05:30,540 ~-~-> 00:05:34,170 267 -interest rate markets and you don't want to have to expect 268 - 269 -68 270 -00:05:34,170 ~-~-> 00:05:36,720 271 -this to shift every single day okay, you want to be having a 272 - 273 -69 274 -00:05:36,810 ~-~-> 00:05:41,070 275 -higher timeframe macro view on interest rates and monitoring 276 - 277 -70 278 -00:05:41,070 ~-~-> 00:05:44,250 279 -that based on our buy signal? Are we in a buyer program or 280 - 281 -71 282 -00:05:44,250 ~-~-> 00:05:48,000 283 -sell program? Next, obviously, we would be considering the 284 - 285 -72 286 -00:05:48,000 ~-~-> 00:05:50,400 287 -direction of the United States dollar and the technical 288 - 289 -73 290 -00:05:50,400 ~-~-> 00:05:55,080 291 -levels that that indicee is currently being impacted by 292 - 293 -74 294 -00:05:56,460 ~-~-> 00:06:01,500 295 -obviously, it helps to trade with The understanding that's 296 - 297 -75 298 -00:06:01,650 ~-~-> 00:06:05,400 299 -found in the futures market, that being the treasuries in 300 - 301 -76 302 -00:06:05,400 ~-~-> 00:06:09,390 303 -the tea note markets that mean the five year 10 year and 30 304 - 305 -77 306 -00:06:09,390 ~-~-> 00:06:15,360 307 -year treasuries. The stock indices are always a good to 308 - 309 -78 310 -00:06:15,780 ~-~-> 00:06:20,520 311 -watch, I go from interest rates of the US dollar to Treasury 312 - 313 -79 314 -00:06:20,520 ~-~-> 00:06:25,380 315 -markets. And I check out what the overall risk tone is in 316 - 317 -80 318 -00:06:25,380 ~-~-> 00:06:29,070 319 -the stock market are the averages again confirming using Dow 320 - 321 -81 322 -00:06:29,070 ~-~-> 00:06:31,680 323 -Theory, and if they're not, it may be an indication that 324 - 325 -82 326 -00:06:31,680 ~-~-> 00:06:34,770 327 -there may be a short term and or longer term shift taking 328 - 329 -83 330 -00:06:34,770 ~-~-> 00:06:38,790 331 -place in the marketplace. Then I obviously look at the CRB 332 - 333 -84 334 -00:06:38,790 ~-~-> 00:06:42,240 335 -index i try to get a feel for Are we still in a risk on risk 336 - 337 -85 338 -00:06:42,240 ~-~-> 00:06:45,930 339 -off scenario that's confirmed with the commodity markets and 340 - 341 -86 342 -00:06:45,930 ~-~-> 00:06:48,720 343 -if the CRB is bullish, that would indicate that we are in 344 - 345 -87 346 -00:06:48,720 ~-~-> 00:06:52,860 347 -fact risk going and that would be bearish for the dollar and 348 - 349 -88 350 -00:06:52,860 ~-~-> 00:06:56,070 351 -bullish for foreign currencies. And obviously, it always 352 - 353 -89 354 -00:06:56,070 ~-~-> 00:06:59,700 355 -helps to look at a few other select markets like golden 356 - 357 -90 358 -00:07:00,000 ~-~-> 00:07:04,440 359 -Because those are good barometers for risk on risk off as 360 - 361 -91 362 -00:07:04,440 ~-~-> 00:07:04,800 363 -well. 364 - 365 -92 366 -00:07:10,590 ~-~-> 00:07:14,700 367 -For the anticipatory stage, Okay, first stage 368 - 369 -93 370 -00:07:15,660 ~-~-> 00:07:21,060 371 -of analysis is always going to be the anticipatory stage. 372 - 373 -94 374 -00:07:21,210 ~-~-> 00:07:23,490 375 -Okay, you're going to spend more time in this stage of your 376 - 377 -95 378 -00:07:23,490 ~-~-> 00:07:26,730 379 -analysis than any other stage. And it begins with seasonal 380 - 381 -96 382 -00:07:26,730 ~-~-> 00:07:31,500 383 -tendencies. That could be the are we in a bullish quarter or 384 - 385 -97 386 -00:07:31,500 ~-~-> 00:07:35,370 387 -a bearish quarter based on price action? Are we in an area 388 - 389 -98 390 -00:07:35,370 ~-~-> 00:07:38,550 391 -where seasonally we expect prices to rally or decline? 392 - 393 -99 394 -00:07:40,110 ~-~-> 00:07:40,710 395 -That 396 - 397 -100 398 -00:07:42,149 ~-~-> 00:07:44,219 399 -there's a subtle tension it takes place in generally every 400 - 401 -101 402 -00:07:44,219 ~-~-> 00:07:47,789 403 -marketplace there that is tradable.

And you're going to be looking 532 - 533 -134 534 -00:09:43,559 ~-~-> 00:09:47,729 535 -for indications that there may be a strong demand for or 536 - 537 -135 538 -00:09:47,729 ~-~-> 00:09:51,569 539 -waning demand, if there is a premium for that particular 540 - 541 -136 542 -00:09:51,569 ~-~-> 00:09:56,399 543 -market. market sentiment obviously, you know, this could be 544 - 545 -137 546 -00:09:57,749 ~-~-> 00:10:02,849 547 -derived that by using Market vein numbers we can look at 548 - 549 -138 550 -00:10:03,689 ~-~-> 00:10:08,639 551 -some sentiment based on chatter that's going on in the news, 552 - 553 -139 554 -00:10:08,639 ~-~-> 00:10:11,909 555 -the forums, talking heads on TV, if everybody's expecting 556 - 557 -140 558 -00:10:11,909 ~-~-> 00:10:14,399 559 -the same thing generally going to be the other way. And 560 - 561 -141 562 -00:10:14,459 ~-~-> 00:10:18,539 563 -obviously, we always have a watchful eye on key higher time 564 - 565 -142 566 -00:10:18,539 ~-~-> 00:10:22,289 567 -frame support resistance levels. That is the mack daddy of 568 - 569 -143 570 -00:10:22,289 ~-~-> 00:10:24,719 571 -all things that we do in technical analysis, understand our 572 - 573 -144 574 -00:10:24,719 ~-~-> 00:10:31,589 575 -key support resistance levels. Alright, the execution stage 576 - 577 -145 578 -00:10:32,879 ~-~-> 00:10:37,229 579 -before we take any trade before we do any order entry, okay. 580 - 581 -146 582 -00:10:38,099 ~-~-> 00:10:41,399 583 -Once we have a higher timeframe top down analysis done we 584 - 585 -147 586 -00:10:41,399 ~-~-> 00:10:45,569 587 -have an understanding of where we are at in terms of yields 588 - 589 -148 590 -00:10:45,569 ~-~-> 00:10:49,019 591 -and interest rates. Okay, we got to get for the day that you 592 - 593 -149 594 -00:10:49,019 ~-~-> 00:10:52,199 595 -would actually be doing any trading, you still get a market, 596 - 597 -150 598 -00:10:52,529 ~-~-> 00:10:56,219 599 -major market turn or are we still bullish overall going into 600 - 601 -151 602 -00:10:56,219 ~-~-> 00:10:59,999 603 -the new day, and what I mean by that are we risk going on 604 - 605 -152 606 -00:10:59,999 ~-~-> 00:11:03,569 607 -scoff you have to understand this because if you're buying 608 - 609 -153 610 -00:11:03,599 ~-~-> 00:11:07,919 611 -generally in a risk on scenario, that's good. But if you're 612 - 613 -154 614 -00:11:07,919 ~-~-> 00:11:10,559 615 -buying foreign currencies in a risk off scenario, you have 616 - 617 -155 618 -00:11:10,559 ~-~-> 00:11:12,809 619 -the tide moving against you, and it's very, very difficult 620 - 621 -156 622 -00:11:12,809 ~-~-> 00:11:16,049 623 -to make money in that situation. So it pays to understand 624 - 625 -157 626 -00:11:16,079 ~-~-> 00:11:19,619 627 -what it is you're doing every single day and judging what 628 - 629 -158 630 -00:11:19,619 ~-~-> 00:11:23,309 631 -markets doing going into London, are we rejecting highs or 632 - 633 -159 634 -00:11:23,309 ~-~-> 00:11:26,189 635 -rejecting lows, probably pricing in the daily low daily 636 - 637 -160 638 -00:11:26,189 ~-~-> 00:11:30,749 639 -high. You want to be trading in that directional premise. 640 - 641 -161 642 -00:11:31,019 ~-~-> 00:11:33,269 643 -And obviously it goes without saying that if we have a buy 644 - 645 -162 646 -00:11:33,269 ~-~-> 00:11:36,059 647 -or sell for programming, the higher timeframe based on 648 - 649 -163 650 -00:11:36,749 ~-~-> 00:11:40,949 651 -directional premise on monthly, weekly, daily, and four hour 652 - 653 -164 654 -00:11:41,489 ~-~-> 00:11:43,979 655 -and if we're in a bull program by program rather you will be 656 - 657 -165 658 -00:11:43,979 ~-~-> 00:11:50,069 659 -focusing on the buy signals. Obviously, we have to have our 660 - 661 -166 662 -00:11:50,369 ~-~-> 00:11:52,529 663 -macro support resistance levels from the higher time frame 664 - 665 -167 666 -00:11:52,529 ~-~-> 00:11:57,239 667 -monthly, weekly, daily for hour and one hour on our sub 60 668 - 669 -168 670 -00:11:57,239 ~-~-> 00:11:59,999 671 -minute charts. So in other words, our 515 minute charts have 672 - 673 -169 674 -00:11:59,999 ~-~-> 00:12:02,309 675 -To have these higher time frame support resistance levels in 676 - 677 -170 678 -00:12:02,999 ~-~-> 00:12:05,729 679 -the chart, you have to see them, be aware of them, okay? 680 - 681 -171 682 -00:12:05,729 ~-~-> 00:12:07,799 683 -Don't just have them written on a piece of paper, have them 684 - 685 -172 686 -00:12:07,799 ~-~-> 00:12:10,259 687 -on your chart, look at them know where they are, where 688 - 689 -173 690 -00:12:10,259 ~-~-> 00:12:12,539 691 -they're at, you'll get a better feel for prices actually 692 - 693 -174 694 -00:12:12,539 ~-~-> 00:12:13,259 695 -trying to do 696 - 697 -175 698 -00:12:14,820 ~-~-> 00:12:18,900 699 -market structure. Okay, before we execute, we have to 700 - 701 -176 702 -00:12:18,900 ~-~-> 00:12:21,420 703 -understand where are we at. If we're bullish, we're looking 704 - 705 -177 706 -00:12:21,420 ~-~-> 00:12:25,260 707 -for immediate term or long term lows on the left hand side 708 - 709 -178 710 -00:12:25,290 ~-~-> 00:12:27,540 711 -of our chart, okay, so we're going to be looking for short 712 - 713 -179 714 -00:12:27,540 ~-~-> 00:12:31,140 715 -term to me term lows to be keying off of to get ourselves in 716 - 717 -180 718 -00:12:31,140 ~-~-> 00:12:33,870 719 -sync with the higher time frame macro view. Okay, and market 720 - 721 -181 722 -00:12:33,870 ~-~-> 00:12:40,380 723 -structure is a key role in that understanding and execution 724 - 725 -182 726 -00:12:40,410 ~-~-> 00:12:43,470 727 -in your trading. If you're bearish, okay, you want to be 728 - 729 -183 730 -00:12:43,470 ~-~-> 00:12:47,010 731 -seeing out long term or short term high on the left hand 732 - 733 -184 734 -00:12:47,010 ~-~-> 00:12:49,770 735 -side of your chart and where you're trading Now you won't be 736 - 737 -185 738 -00:12:49,770 ~-~-> 00:12:53,670 739 -shooting for enemy term highs or short term highs to be 740 - 741 -186 742 -00:12:53,670 ~-~-> 00:12:56,490 743 -getting short and getting in sync with that overall market 744 - 745 -187 746 -00:12:56,490 ~-~-> 00:13:01,740 747 -structure that is bearish. The market flow Obviously, you 748 - 749 -188 750 -00:13:02,130 ~-~-> 00:13:05,340 751 -have to understand, simply because the market is poised to 752 - 753 -189 754 -00:13:05,340 ~-~-> 00:13:10,470 755 -trade higher, and technically, yields may be moving up and 756 - 757 -190 758 -00:13:10,470 ~-~-> 00:13:14,190 759 -risk own. All those things are in place, you know, support 760 - 761 -191 762 -00:13:14,340 ~-~-> 00:13:19,710 763 -has been traded to. It makes a lot easier trading if we use 764 - 765 -192 766 -00:13:19,740 ~-~-> 00:13:23,670 767 -market flow and a higher timeframe for our daily to make 768 - 769 -193 770 -00:13:23,670 ~-~-> 00:13:24,900 771 -sure that we have the 772 - 773 -194 774 -00:13:25,649 ~-~-> 00:13:26,969 775 -tide in our favor. 776 - 777 -195 778 -00:13:27,210 ~-~-> 00:13:30,360 779 -Okay. And then once it starts moving, it makes trading a lot 780 - 781 -196 782 -00:13:30,360 ~-~-> 00:13:33,540 783 -easier. Okay, so we have a bullish market structure, bullish 784 - 785 -197 786 -00:13:33,540 ~-~-> 00:13:36,360 787 -market flow with a bullish macro view, okay, and we're 788 - 789 -198 790 -00:13:36,360 ~-~-> 00:13:42,060 791 -trading with risk on scenarios in a buy program. Now, simply 792 - 793 -199 794 -00:13:42,060 ~-~-> 00:13:45,540 795 -moving to a simple time and price theory of expecting the 796 - 797 -200 798 -00:13:45,810 ~-~-> 00:13:50,280 799 -low to form during London. Okay, you can expect the Asian 800 - 801 -201 802 -00:13:50,280 ~-~-> 00:13:55,320 803 -range to be a very key role in your order placement. You'd 804 - 805 -202 806 -00:13:55,320 ~-~-> 00:13:57,420 807 -be looking for the Asian range high or less than look for 808 - 809 -203 810 -00:13:57,420 ~-~-> 00:14:00,450 811 -your buy signals and vice versa. If you're acting Back to a 812 - 813 -204 814 -00:14:00,450 ~-~-> 00:14:03,870 815 -risk off scenario, you'd be using the time of day principle 816 - 817 -205 818 -00:14:03,870 ~-~-> 00:14:07,890 819 -of the Asian range low or greater looking for you to swing 820 - 821 -206 822 -00:14:07,980 ~-~-> 00:14:13,710 823 -up and looking for your shorts to be, you know, anywhere in 824 - 825 -207 826 -00:14:13,710 ~-~-> 00:14:17,520 827 -the London open and or the New York open sessions to be 828 - 829 -208 830 -00:14:17,550 ~-~-> 00:14:20,700 831 -keying off of that directional premise in the higher 832 - 833 -209 834 -00:14:20,700 ~-~-> 00:14:24,570 835 -timeframe drilled down through all the steps we just covered 836 - 837 -210 838 -00:14:24,570 ~-~-> 00:14:29,310 839 -here. More detail obviously will be given as we go through 840 - 841 -211 842 -00:14:29,310 ~-~-> 00:14:33,330 843 -actual real top down analysis and real breakdown of a market 844 - 845 -212 846 -00:14:33,630 ~-~-> 00:14:36,420 847 -moved it took place in the spring into summer months of 848 - 849 -213 850 -00:14:36,420 ~-~-> 00:14:40,230 851 -2012. But for now, what we're doing is is we're outlining 852 - 853 -214 854 -00:14:40,230 ~-~-> 00:14:44,250 855 -really the top down approach in a nutshell so that we you 856 - 857 -215 858 -00:14:44,280 ~-~-> 00:14:47,250 859 -going into your charts every day, this is the framework that 860 - 861 -216 862 -00:14:47,250 ~-~-> 00:14:50,610 863 -you should have in your your psyche as a trader, what it is 864 - 865 -217 866 -00:14:50,610 ~-~-> 00:14:53,880 867 -that you're doing every day is that on a daily basis, is it 868 - 869 -218 870 -00:14:53,880 ~-~-> 00:14:56,820 871 -the same thing over and over again, this is my routine. You 872 - 873 -219 874 -00:14:56,820 ~-~-> 00:14:59,040 875 -may tweak it a little bit, you may take some things out of 876 - 877 -220 878 -00:14:59,040 ~-~-> 00:15:01,320 879 -here and move it around. You do something a little bit 880 - 881 -221 882 -00:15:01,320 ~-~-> 00:15:04,170 883 -different in terms of order. But these are essential to me 884 - 885 -222 886 -00:15:04,170 ~-~-> 00:15:07,200 887 -in terms of my concepts, my material, the things that I use 888 - 889 -223 890 -00:15:07,200 ~-~-> 00:15:10,920 891 -when I do my analysis. And then finally, once we understand 892 - 893 -224 894 -00:15:10,920 ~-~-> 00:15:12,510 895 -what we're supposed to be doing based on the higher time 896 - 897 -225 898 -00:15:12,510 ~-~-> 00:15:17,400 899 -frame premise, it goes into your order entries. Okay? And 900 - 901 -226 902 -00:15:17,430 ~-~-> 00:15:20,370 903 -90% of the time, I'm using limit orders to get in and get 904 - 905 -227 906 -00:15:20,370 ~-~-> 00:15:26,490 907 -out and stop orders for protection. And unless I'm trading a 908 - 909 -228 910 -00:15:26,490 ~-~-> 00:15:31,230 911 -breakout, and I want to be buying strength or selling 912 - 913 -229 914 -00:15:31,230 ~-~-> 00:15:34,440 915 -weakness, okay, that's the only time I'm using a stop, and 916 - 917 -230 918 -00:15:34,440 ~-~-> 00:15:36,960 919 -it's 10% of the time. So what does that tell you? 90% of the 920 - 921 -231 922 -00:15:36,960 ~-~-> 00:15:39,960 923 -time, I'm not trading breakouts. Okay, I'm actually feeding 924 - 925 -232 926 -00:15:39,960 ~-~-> 00:15:43,830 927 -the market moves, trade entry orders. We're going to talk 928 - 929 -233 930 -00:15:43,830 ~-~-> 00:15:46,320 931 -about that in the last module, because we're gonna actually 932 - 933 -234 934 -00:15:46,320 ~-~-> 00:15:50,370 935 -give you specific orders and specific examples on how to use 936 - 937 -235 938 -00:15:50,370 ~-~-> 00:15:55,860 939 -these orders for actual demo trading counts. So you can you 940 - 941 -236 942 -00:15:55,860 ~-~-> 00:15:59,340 943 -can practice in the sandbox and see whether or not these 944 - 945 -237 946 -00:15:59,340 ~-~-> 00:16:07,740 947 -things work. For you going forward. Alright, the reactionary 948 - 949 -238 950 -00:16:07,740 ~-~-> 00:16:12,210 951 -stage right there. Basically there's times the market where 952 - 953 -239 954 -00:16:12,540 ~-~-> 00:16:16,920 955 -if you're in the trade, okay, and you have little to no 956 - 957 -240 958 -00:16:16,920 ~-~-> 00:16:21,150 959 -movement at all, you've anticipated a market move and price 960 - 961 -241 962 -00:16:21,150 ~-~-> 00:16:24,900 963 -does go stagnant. It is nowhere just starts going sideways. 964 - 965 -242 966 -00:16:24,990 ~-~-> 00:16:29,580 967 -Okay? That's a time for you to more or less killed the 968 - 969 -243 970 -00:16:29,580 ~-~-> 00:16:33,600 971 -trade, especially if you're expecting a price move and we're 972 - 973 -244 974 -00:16:33,600 ~-~-> 00:16:37,860 975 -moving into a specific time of day where volatility should 976 - 977 -245 978 -00:16:37,860 ~-~-> 00:16:41,700 979 -be increasing, but it isn't. Okay, it's just better just to 980 - 981 -246 982 -00:16:41,700 ~-~-> 00:16:47,190 983 -close the trade. Do not expect your success to be hinged 984 - 985 -247 986 -00:16:47,190 ~-~-> 00:16:51,660 987 -upon one single event, one single trading day. Okay. And I 988 - 989 -248 990 -00:16:51,660 ~-~-> 00:16:55,590 991 -think if you really take a look at your heaviest losses, 992 - 993 -249 994 -00:16:55,620 ~-~-> 00:16:58,920 995 -look at your biggest losing days, okay, or your string of 996 - 997 -250 998 -00:16:58,920 ~-~-> 00:17:03,870 999 -losing days. I guarantee if you go back the mindset you had 1000 - 1001 -251 1002 -00:17:03,870 ~-~-> 00:17:07,860 1003 -going into that trade is that you are expecting and hoping 1004 - 1005 -252 1006 -00:17:07,860 ~-~-> 00:17:11,820 1007 -and praying that this move is the winner. This is going to 1008 - 1009 -253 1010 -00:17:11,820 ~-~-> 00:17:13,920 1011 -be the one that puts you over the top or get you back to 1012 - 1013 -254 1014 -00:17:13,950 ~-~-> 00:17:20,040 1015 -even. Okay. Don't Don't think like that. Okay? demand the 1016 - 1017 -255 1018 -00:17:20,040 ~-~-> 00:17:24,750 1019 -tools to place you in optimal trade entry. If it doesn't 1020 - 1021 -256 1022 -00:17:24,750 ~-~-> 00:17:28,320 1023 -provide you that and you don't see a very short term near 1024 - 1025 -257 1026 -00:17:28,320 ~-~-> 00:17:32,670 1027 -term feedback in your trade. In other words, are you seeing 1028 - 1029 -258 1030 -00:17:32,670 ~-~-> 00:17:35,190 1031 -the things that you're expecting in terms of volatility? Are 1032 - 1033 -259 1034 -00:17:35,190 ~-~-> 00:17:37,410 1035 -you seeing a rejection at the lows that you were buying 1036 - 1037 -260 1038 -00:17:37,410 ~-~-> 00:17:39,960 1039 -into? Are you seeing are you seeing follow through the 1040 - 1041 -261 1042 -00:17:39,960 ~-~-> 00:17:42,870 1043 -upside after you bought that long? If you're not seeing that 1044 - 1045 -262 1046 -00:17:42,870 ~-~-> 00:17:44,940 1047 -and it's going stagnant and you're getting close to the end 1048 - 1049 -263 1050 -00:17:44,940 ~-~-> 00:17:47,670 1051 -of the day going into London close or if you're going into 1052 - 1053 -264 1054 -00:17:47,670 ~-~-> 00:17:51,780 1055 -New York open, okay, and prices are stagnant. It may 1056 - 1057 -265 1058 -00:17:51,780 ~-~-> 00:17:55,320 1059 -actually bounce up against you. If you're, if you're short. 1060 - 1061 -266 1062 -00:17:55,800 ~-~-> 00:17:57,660 1063 -Or if you're if you're long it may actually pull back 1064 - 1065 -267 1066 -00:17:57,660 ~-~-> 00:18:01,200 1067 -against your could just go into longer term. consolidation. 1068 - 1069 -268 1070 -00:18:01,590 ~-~-> 00:18:05,670 1071 -Why sit in? Okay, if it's showing you failure to move, 1072 - 1073 -269 1074 -00:18:06,360 ~-~-> 00:18:09,180 1075 -that's your time to react kill the trade. There's no risk 1076 - 1077 -270 1078 -00:18:09,180 ~-~-> 00:18:12,660 1079 -now. Okay? If it runs off if you would have stayed in made 1080 - 1081 -271 1082 -00:18:12,660 ~-~-> 00:18:17,610 1083 -money, big deal, let it go. Okay. But we act quickly when 1084 - 1085 -272 1086 -00:18:17,610 ~-~-> 00:18:22,560 1087 -trying to preserve our capital. We act slowly when we're 1088 - 1089 -273 1090 -00:18:22,560 ~-~-> 00:18:23,670 1091 -trying to make money. 1092 - 1093 -274 1094 -00:18:23,700 ~-~-> 00:18:26,850 1095 -Okay, we want to be methodical. We want to be very, very 1096 - 1097 -275 1098 -00:18:26,850 ~-~-> 00:18:31,770 1099 -focused. Okay and detail oriented. When it comes to exposing 1100 - 1101 -276 1102 -00:18:31,770 ~-~-> 00:18:36,180 1103 -our money to risk. We want to really put it to work when 1104 - 1105 -277 1106 -00:18:36,180 ~-~-> 00:18:39,390 1107 -there's something highly probable in our favorite to take 1108 - 1109 -278 1110 -00:18:39,390 ~-~-> 00:18:44,310 1111 -advantage of why risk on very low odd setups. 1112 - 1113 -279 1114 -00:18:45,150 ~-~-> 00:18:47,430 1115 -There's no reason to you there's enough of them happening in 1116 - 1117 -280 1118 -00:18:47,430 ~-~-> 00:18:49,470 1119 -a week. There's enough of them happening in a month in over 1120 - 1121 -281 1122 -00:18:49,470 ~-~-> 00:18:51,450 1123 -a year Good grief. You have tons and tons of opportunity to 1124 - 1125 -282 1126 -00:18:51,450 ~-~-> 00:18:55,320 1127 -make money. Don't sit in questionable trades. If it's not 1128 - 1129 -283 1130 -00:18:55,320 ~-~-> 00:18:59,460 1131 -moving for you kill the trade. Take another setup. If you 1132 - 1133 -284 1134 -00:18:59,460 ~-~-> 00:19:02,460 1135 -see rejection, A key support level that's counter your 1136 - 1137 -285 1138 -00:19:02,460 ~-~-> 00:19:05,940 1139 -expectation or you're injured and you're in the trade. Kill 1140 - 1141 -286 1142 -00:19:05,940 ~-~-> 00:19:10,920 1143 -it, why eat up open profits, okay? Turn your paper profits 1144 - 1145 -287 1146 -00:19:10,920 ~-~-> 00:19:14,400 1147 -into literal profits, go to cash, move to the sidelines, 1148 - 1149 -288 1150 -00:19:14,400 ~-~-> 00:19:17,430 1151 -take your profits and get out. Okay? If you see rejection, 1152 - 1153 -289 1154 -00:19:17,430 ~-~-> 00:19:20,880 1155 -strong rejection, something comes across, you know, the 1156 - 1157 -290 1158 -00:19:20,880 ~-~-> 00:19:25,500 1159 -wires and hits, you know, unexpectedly, which, you know, in 1160 - 1161 -291 1162 -00:19:25,500 ~-~-> 00:19:28,740 1163 -the event that, you know, major catastrophe or global 1164 - 1165 -292 1166 -00:19:28,740 ~-~-> 00:19:32,100 1167 -national event, something of that nature, you know, that 1168 - 1169 -293 1170 -00:19:32,100 ~-~-> 00:19:34,230 1171 -could rock the markets, you never really know when that's 1172 - 1173 -294 1174 -00:19:34,230 ~-~-> 00:19:37,440 1175 -going to happen. So if you see that it's just better to 1176 - 1177 -295 1178 -00:19:37,440 ~-~-> 00:19:40,530 1179 -collapse the trade and just get out. You could always get 1180 - 1181 -296 1182 -00:19:40,530 ~-~-> 00:19:44,340 1183 -back in, always get back in even for those folks that are in 1184 - 1185 -297 1186 -00:19:44,340 ~-~-> 00:19:48,240 1187 -carry trades. Okay, you can get back in those moves. Okay. 1188 - 1189 -298 1190 -00:19:48,240 ~-~-> 00:19:52,260 1191 -And look what happened in Japan. If, you know, the 1192 - 1193 -299 1194 -00:19:52,260 ~-~-> 00:19:56,760 1195 -earthquake hit New tsunami took out you, reactors and the 1196 - 1197 -300 1198 -00:19:56,760 ~-~-> 00:20:00,090 1199 -whole world's waiting for you in Japan. You slip into The 1200 - 1201 -301 1202 -00:20:00,090 ~-~-> 00:20:04,530 1203 -ocean in dissolve those things, we can't expect them in 1204 - 1205 -302 1206 -00:20:04,530 ~-~-> 00:20:07,830 1207 -their acts of God. So we have to, more or less just take 1208 - 1209 -303 1210 -00:20:07,830 ~-~-> 00:20:11,550 1211 -ourselves out of out of the risk environment, okay in stand 1212 - 1213 -304 1214 -00:20:11,550 ~-~-> 00:20:14,610 1215 -on the sidelines where it's no more risk, okay? And we can, 1216 - 1217 -305 1218 -00:20:14,970 ~-~-> 00:20:17,790 1219 -you know, hopefully gain a more objective view of the 1220 - 1221 -306 1222 -00:20:17,790 ~-~-> 00:20:21,480 1223 -marketplace and then react object new with objective 1224 - 1225 -307 1226 -00:20:21,480 ~-~-> 00:20:25,350 1227 -analysis not you know, reactionary gambling and trying to 1228 - 1229 -308 1230 -00:20:25,350 ~-~-> 00:20:29,100 1231 -get in there and throw the dice and chase the market chasing 1232 - 1233 -309 1234 -00:20:29,310 ~-~-> 00:20:32,190 1235 -you mentality. That's not that's not how we make money, 1236 - 1237 -310 1238 -00:20:32,220 ~-~-> 00:20:35,670 1239 -okay? You want to react by getting out and take yourself out 1240 - 1241 -311 1242 -00:20:35,670 ~-~-> 00:20:39,180 1243 -of the risk. And obviously, if you're sick, and if you have 1244 - 1245 -312 1246 -00:20:39,180 ~-~-> 00:20:41,910 1247 -a life, you know, event that takes place and requires your 1248 - 1249 -313 1250 -00:20:41,910 ~-~-> 00:20:44,880 1251 -time, your kid might have something that you know, requires 1252 - 1253 -314 1254 -00:20:44,880 ~-~-> 00:20:48,120 1255 -you as a parent, where your spouse needs you to do something 1256 - 1257 -315 1258 -00:20:48,120 ~-~-> 00:20:51,450 1259 -with them. You What takes precedence is your relationship in 1260 - 1261 -316 1262 -00:20:51,450 ~-~-> 00:20:54,720 1263 -the real world or the charts. Okay? Hopefully, you know, I 1264 - 1265 -317 1266 -00:20:54,720 ~-~-> 00:20:56,670 1267 -appreciate you guys wanting to spend time with me in these 1268 - 1269 -318 1270 -00:20:56,670 ~-~-> 00:21:00,180 1271 -video modules, but I certainly enjoy it but I enjoy My 1272 - 1273 -319 1274 -00:21:00,180 ~-~-> 00:21:03,000 1275 -family more and you know if it's going to be a choice 1276 - 1277 -320 1278 -00:21:03,000 ~-~-> 00:21:06,060 1279 -whether if it's you and YouTube and baby pips, it's going to 1280 - 1281 -321 1282 -00:21:06,060 ~-~-> 00:21:09,420 1283 -be my family. Okay? So if something takes place that 1284 - 1285 -322 1286 -00:21:09,420 ~-~-> 00:21:13,800 1287 -requires me and my time or if I get sick you got to react 1288 - 1289 -323 1290 -00:21:13,800 ~-~-> 00:21:16,860 1291 -and if you're in a trade and you just think that you're not 1292 - 1293 -324 1294 -00:21:16,860 ~-~-> 00:21:20,940 1295 -going to be able to adequately managed to position react 1296 - 1297 -325 1298 -00:21:21,120 ~-~-> 00:21:24,900 1299 -react responsibly and just collapse the trade and or tighten 1300 - 1301 -326 1302 -00:21:24,900 ~-~-> 00:21:28,500 1303 -up the stop loss so that way if you do fall, ill or you fall 1304 - 1305 -327 1306 -00:21:29,070 ~-~-> 00:21:32,340 1307 -disconnected to the marketplace because of life events that 1308 - 1309 -328 1310 -00:21:32,430 ~-~-> 00:21:34,200 1311 -need to take place maybe there's a death in your family. 1312 - 1313 -329 1314 -00:21:34,800 ~-~-> 00:21:36,660 1315 -You're gonna be able to think objective Lee during that. 1316 - 1317 -330 1318 -00:21:37,500 ~-~-> 00:21:42,480 1319 -Okay, grief can have a major impact on a trader psyche, and 1320 - 1321 -331 1322 -00:21:42,570 ~-~-> 00:21:45,180 1323 -it's just better to just more or less, remove yourself from 1324 - 1325 -332 1326 -00:21:45,180 ~-~-> 00:21:47,280 1327 -the risk. Okay, and you can always get back in. 1328 - 1329 -333 1330 -00:21:52,710 ~-~-> 00:21:57,090 1331 -Alright guys, fractal analysis in price action. All right, 1332 - 1333 -334 1334 -00:21:57,090 ~-~-> 00:22:04,260 1335 -what's a fractal? Well a fractal is A pattern in nature and 1336 - 1337 -335 1338 -00:22:04,260 ~-~-> 00:22:11,400 1339 -in many things that you know, as a as a Christian, okay. I 1340 - 1341 -336 1342 -00:22:11,400 ~-~-> 00:22:16,080 1343 -believe there is a creator. Okay. And I give thanks to him 1344 - 1345 -337 1346 -00:22:16,140 ~-~-> 00:22:19,440 1347 -on a daily basis for the insights that I've been blessed 1348 - 1349 -338 1350 -00:22:19,440 ~-~-> 00:22:25,680 1351 -with. And I share with you and I think that the fractals are 1352 - 1353 -339 1354 -00:22:26,010 ~-~-> 00:22:30,840 1355 -one little signature on his part. also need to show there's 1356 - 1357 -340 1358 -00:22:30,870 ~-~-> 00:22:34,110 1359 -so there's a design to this, okay, everything around this 1360 - 1361 -341 1362 -00:22:34,290 ~-~-> 00:22:39,990 1363 -has a specific design. Okay, there it shows intelligence 1364 - 1365 -342 1366 -00:22:40,020 ~-~-> 00:22:45,180 1367 -behind it. And everything in nature has the same phenomenon. 1368 - 1369 -343 1370 -00:22:45,180 ~-~-> 00:22:52,320 1371 -It's much like Fibonacci. But a fractal is defined simply as 1372 - 1373 -344 1374 -00:22:52,350 ~-~-> 00:22:59,460 1375 -a pattern that is repeated in infinite size up and down. In 1376 - 1377 -345 1378 -00:22:59,460 ~-~-> 00:23:02,670 1379 -other words, Something that you see on one scale. Okay, if 1380 - 1381 -346 1382 -00:23:02,670 ~-~-> 00:23:06,360 1383 -you scale into it and zoom in, you can see it same pattern 1384 - 1385 -347 1386 -00:23:06,750 ~-~-> 00:23:11,310 1387 -repeated on lower levels. And obviously the same thing if 1388 - 1389 -348 1390 -00:23:11,310 ~-~-> 00:23:16,320 1391 -you magnify it out and look at it as a macro view. Well, 1392 - 1393 -349 1394 -00:23:16,320 ~-~-> 00:23:20,790 1395 -that same principle is an effect in price. Okay and price 1396 - 1397 -350 1398 -00:23:20,790 ~-~-> 00:23:26,820 1399 -because I'll give you a real generic way of viewing it. When 1400 - 1401 -351 1402 -00:23:26,820 ~-~-> 00:23:32,430 1403 -I say price. Okay, what comes to mind to you? Is it a daily 1404 - 1405 -352 1406 -00:23:32,430 ~-~-> 00:23:37,410 1407 -chart? Is it a one minute chart? Is it a tick chart? For 1408 - 1409 -353 1410 -00:23:37,410 ~-~-> 00:23:39,840 1411 -some of you have may have been a weekly chart, or it could 1412 - 1413 -354 1414 -00:23:39,840 ~-~-> 00:23:44,490 1415 -have been a five minute chart. It doesn't matter what time 1416 - 1417 -355 1418 -00:23:44,490 ~-~-> 00:23:48,270 1419 -frame that we are referring to. It's always just the last 1420 - 1421 -356 1422 -00:23:48,270 ~-~-> 00:23:48,780 1423 -price. 1424 - 1425 -357 1426 -00:23:49,890 ~-~-> 00:23:50,610 1427 -Think about that. 1428 - 1429 -358 1430 -00:23:51,360 ~-~-> 00:23:56,520 1431 -You're looking at price right now. At the time of this 1432 - 1433 -359 1434 -00:23:56,520 ~-~-> 00:24:03,450 1435 -recording the cables trading at 161 70 For that 164 by 1436 - 1437 -360 1438 -00:24:03,450 ~-~-> 00:24:07,230 1439 -itself absolutely is useless to you, unless you have a 1440 - 1441 -361 1442 -00:24:07,590 ~-~-> 00:24:11,520 1443 -understanding where you're at in terms of the big picture. 1444 - 1445 -362 1446 -00:24:11,910 ~-~-> 00:24:15,180 1447 -Okay, by having the big picture. And using a higher 1448 - 1449 -363 1450 -00:24:15,180 ~-~-> 00:24:18,060 1451 -timeframe, perspective in your analysis and understanding 1452 - 1453 -364 1454 -00:24:18,060 ~-~-> 00:24:21,150 1455 -key support resistance levels, you can go into the 1456 - 1457 -365 1458 -00:24:21,150 ~-~-> 00:24:25,470 1459 -marketplace and see patterns that repeat over and over and 1460 - 1461 -366 1462 -00:24:25,470 ~-~-> 00:24:28,620 1463 -over again. There's specific fractal patterns. And I'm not 1464 - 1465 -367 1466 -00:24:28,620 ~-~-> 00:24:31,140 1467 -going to reveal them all in this module, but you'll have a 1468 - 1469 -368 1470 -00:24:31,140 ~-~-> 00:24:33,630 1471 -few of them shared throughout the presentation over the last 1472 - 1473 -369 1474 -00:24:33,660 ~-~-> 00:24:39,630 1475 -few parts of the series. But the the fractal analysis 1476 - 1477 -370 1478 -00:24:39,660 ~-~-> 00:24:43,110 1479 -concept can be applied to the simple optimal trade entry. 1480 - 1481 -371 1482 -00:24:43,590 ~-~-> 00:24:48,630 1483 -Okay. What does that mean? How do we how do we go into the 1484 - 1485 -372 1486 -00:24:48,630 ~-~-> 00:24:51,510 1487 -marketplace looking for a fractal? What is it okay, it's one 1488 - 1489 -373 1490 -00:24:51,510 ~-~-> 00:24:54,360 1491 -thing that you, myself and other folks to understand 1492 - 1493 -374 1494 -00:24:54,360 ~-~-> 00:24:56,850 1495 -practical analysis. We can go and show you a chart in 1496 - 1497 -375 1498 -00:24:56,850 ~-~-> 00:24:58,890 1499 -hindsight I look this is where this did that. This is where 1500 - 1501 -376 1502 -00:24:59,250 ~-~-> 00:25:03,270 1503 -it that's Great, okay, but without a firm understanding of 1504 - 1505 -377 1506 -00:25:03,300 ~-~-> 00:25:06,450 1507 -what a fractal is and what it looks like and how it's 1508 - 1509 -378 1510 -00:25:06,450 ~-~-> 00:25:09,390 1511 -applied to the marketplace, it's not going to do anybody any 1512 - 1513 -379 1514 -00:25:09,390 ~-~-> 00:25:11,670 1515 -good. Okay, so this section is really just going to 1516 - 1517 -380 1518 -00:25:11,670 ~-~-> 00:25:16,530 1519 -highlight an example of one form of a fractal. Okay. And 1520 - 1521 -381 1522 -00:25:16,560 ~-~-> 00:25:19,800 1523 -there's all types of fractals. There's many different kinds 1524 - 1525 -382 1526 -00:25:19,800 ~-~-> 00:25:24,840 1527 -of fractals in terms of price action. But the main thing is, 1528 - 1529 -383 1530 -00:25:24,840 ~-~-> 00:25:28,200 1531 -is if you can't understand what a fractal is on a higher 1532 - 1533 -384 1534 -00:25:28,200 ~-~-> 00:25:32,820 1535 -time frame premise, okay? It's going to mean little to no 1536 - 1537 -385 1538 -00:25:32,820 ~-~-> 00:25:35,730 1539 -good use to you, if you're trying to apply it to intraday 1540 - 1541 -386 1542 -00:25:35,730 ~-~-> 00:25:39,270 1543 -charts. Okay, so what am I, what am I saying here? Okay, 1544 - 1545 -387 1546 -00:25:39,270 ~-~-> 00:25:42,900 1547 -well, in this example, we're going to talk about a fractal 1548 - 1549 -388 1550 -00:25:42,930 ~-~-> 00:25:47,370 1551 -okay? And this is going to give you a price swing, and we're 1552 - 1553 -389 1554 -00:25:47,370 ~-~-> 00:25:50,490 1555 -going to more or less break it down and show you more 1556 - 1557 -390 1558 -00:25:50,490 ~-~-> 00:25:54,720 1559 -insights on how price in itself works within a fractal 1560 - 1561 -391 1562 -00:25:54,780 ~-~-> 00:26:00,000 1563 -nature. Alright, we're looking at it could be any price any 1564 - 1565 -392 1566 -00:26:00,000 ~-~-> 00:26:03,690 1567 -commodity any stock, it could be anything. But for now we're 1568 - 1569 -393 1570 -00:26:03,690 ~-~-> 00:26:10,170 1571 -just gonna talk about this being a currency pair. Okay. So 1572 - 1573 -394 1574 -00:26:10,170 ~-~-> 00:26:13,710 1575 -price is trading within a specific range. Okay. And we 1576 - 1577 -395 1578 -00:26:13,710 ~-~-> 00:26:17,310 1579 -noticed that above where prices currently, this is a key 1580 - 1581 -396 1582 -00:26:17,340 ~-~-> 00:26:21,300 1583 -resistance level, okay. One would expect if we're this close 1584 - 1585 -397 1586 -00:26:21,300 ~-~-> 00:26:25,410 1587 -to it, price would eventually try to run up to that key 1588 - 1589 -398 1590 -00:26:25,410 ~-~-> 00:26:29,460 1591 -resistance level. Now as price runs higher and approaches 1592 - 1593 -399 1594 -00:26:29,460 ~-~-> 00:26:32,760 1595 -that resistance level, at some point, it will hit that 1596 - 1597 -400 1598 -00:26:32,760 ~-~-> 00:26:37,500 1599 -level. We as traders and technical traders, we would expect 1600 - 1601 -401 1602 -00:26:37,500 ~-~-> 00:26:40,950 1603 -reasonably there would be a pullback or a bounce away from 1604 - 1605 -402 1606 -00:26:41,130 ~-~-> 00:26:46,230 1607 -that particular price level. At some point price will come 1608 - 1609 -403 1610 -00:26:46,230 ~-~-> 00:26:50,400 1611 -down in that retracement, okay and swing low, make a small 1612 - 1613 -404 1614 -00:26:50,400 ~-~-> 00:26:53,790 1615 -little short term low. When that takes place, we now have a 1616 - 1617 -405 1618 -00:26:53,790 ~-~-> 00:26:59,040 1619 -new reference point for short term support. Okay, now 1620 - 1621 -406 1622 -00:26:59,520 ~-~-> 00:27:02,640 1623 -obviously If we have short term support here, and a key 1624 - 1625 -407 1626 -00:27:02,640 ~-~-> 00:27:06,420 1627 -resistance level like that, a technical trader like we are 1628 - 1629 -408 1630 -00:27:06,480 ~-~-> 00:27:10,350 1631 -or aspiring to be, when prices starting to bounce, again, on 1632 - 1633 -409 1634 -00:27:10,350 ~-~-> 00:27:13,920 1635 -a short term basis, we could reasonably expect or anticipate 1636 - 1637 -410 1638 -00:27:14,340 ~-~-> 00:27:18,720 1639 -another retest or run attempt to get back to that resistance 1640 - 1641 -411 1642 -00:27:18,720 ~-~-> 00:27:23,220 1643 -level. Okay? At some point, it may get up here and blow 1644 - 1645 -412 1646 -00:27:23,220 ~-~-> 00:27:27,240 1647 -through it, but many times it will fail to do that. Okay, 1648 - 1649 -413 1650 -00:27:27,240 ~-~-> 00:27:30,090 1651 -and then start to come back down again. Now, here's where if 1652 - 1653 -414 1654 -00:27:30,090 ~-~-> 00:27:33,450 1655 -you understand optimal trade entry, in which is basically 60 1656 - 1657 -415 1658 -00:27:33,450 ~-~-> 00:27:40,230 1659 -to 70% trace level on the price swing. If you see this, this 1660 - 1661 -416 1662 -00:27:40,230 ~-~-> 00:27:44,130 1663 -could load you into believing that this could be perhaps a 1664 - 1665 -417 1666 -00:27:44,130 ~-~-> 00:27:50,340 1667 -bull flag. It could be perhaps another ABCD price extension, 1668 - 1669 -418 1670 -00:27:51,060 ~-~-> 00:27:51,480 1671 -okay, 1672 - 1673 -419 1674 -00:27:51,749 ~-~-> 00:27:52,829 1675 -or it could be 1676 - 1677 -420 1678 -00:27:54,120 ~-~-> 00:27:54,750 1679 -a top 1680 - 1681 -421 1682 -00:27:55,920 ~-~-> 00:27:58,620 1683 -Okay, we have to go back to the higher time frame, 1684 - 1685 -422 1686 -00:27:58,950 ~-~-> 00:28:04,110 1687 -resistance level. That takes precedence. That is the one 1688 - 1689 -423 1690 -00:28:04,110 ~-~-> 00:28:07,920 1691 -that we have more emphasis behind, not the short term little 1692 - 1693 -424 1694 -00:28:07,920 ~-~-> 00:28:12,240 1695 -blips in the marketplace, okay. We expect sellers to be 1696 - 1697 -425 1698 -00:28:12,330 ~-~-> 00:28:17,820 1699 -heavier in market than buyers. Okay? And we anticipate price 1700 - 1701 -426 1702 -00:28:18,090 ~-~-> 00:28:22,230 1703 -to break below the low here. Okay? If we see that break 1704 - 1705 -427 1706 -00:28:22,230 ~-~-> 00:28:27,270 1707 -below, okay, that's going to give us a shift in what market 1708 - 1709 -428 1710 -00:28:27,270 ~-~-> 00:28:32,250 1711 -flow and market structure. We're looking at a market that's 1712 - 1713 -429 1714 -00:28:32,250 ~-~-> 00:28:33,180 1715 -breaking down 1716 - 1717 -430 1718 -00:28:33,809 ~-~-> 00:28:34,319 1719 -if 1720 - 1721 -431 1722 -00:28:34,769 ~-~-> 00:28:40,169 1723 -this low is taken out. Now, if price does break down lower 1724 - 1725 -432 1726 -00:28:41,909 ~-~-> 00:28:45,209 1727 -and breaks through that now we are confirmed, we have a 1728 - 1729 -433 1730 -00:28:45,209 ~-~-> 00:28:50,999 1731 -bearish market flow and a early market structure reversal. 1732 - 1733 -434 1734 -00:28:51,839 ~-~-> 00:28:56,699 1735 -Okay, so now, we could reasonably expect this higher 1736 - 1737 -435 1738 -00:28:56,699 ~-~-> 00:29:01,199 1739 -timeframe optimal trade entry. Okay. That would be the 1740 - 1741 -436 1742 -00:29:01,199 ~-~-> 00:29:05,279 1743 -higher timeframe turning point. And now we can look for 1744 - 1745 -437 1746 -00:29:05,309 ~-~-> 00:29:11,129 1747 -continued sell signals okay. So we see here a very standard 1748 - 1749 -438 1750 -00:29:11,129 ~-~-> 00:29:16,289 1751 -optimal trade entry top formation the market broke down 1752 - 1753 -439 1754 -00:29:16,739 ~-~-> 00:29:20,999 1755 -okay. In itself this is a fractal okay look at this pattern 1756 - 1757 -440 1758 -00:29:20,999 ~-~-> 00:29:26,879 1759 -right here. This in itself is a pattern that is applicable 1760 - 1761 -441 1762 -00:29:26,909 ~-~-> 00:29:33,689 1763 -in fractal analysis as price breaks down and moves further 1764 - 1765 -442 1766 -00:29:33,689 ~-~-> 00:29:38,669 1767 -lower Okay, go back to the concepts we just learned in part 1768 - 1769 -443 1770 -00:29:38,669 ~-~-> 00:29:41,909 1771 -two of the trading plan development series. Range 1772 - 1773 -444 1774 -00:29:41,909 ~-~-> 00:29:47,849 1775 -contraction, range expansion and trading range to trend 1776 - 1777 -445 1778 -00:29:47,939 ~-~-> 00:29:50,999 1779 -trading rings the trend okay so consolidation 1780 - 1781 -446 1782 -00:29:51,900 ~-~-> 00:29:52,620 1783 -to trend 1784 - 1785 -447 1786 -00:29:53,340 ~-~-> 00:29:57,900 1787 -consolidation to trend in this region here even though we 1788 - 1789 -448 1790 -00:29:57,900 ~-~-> 00:30:01,800 1791 -saw price movement Up, Down Up down to make the optimal 1792 - 1793 -449 1794 -00:30:01,800 ~-~-> 00:30:06,570 1795 -trade entry formation here. That's still a consolidation. 1796 - 1797 -450 1798 -00:30:07,680 ~-~-> 00:30:08,790 1799 -See the range here? 1800 - 1801 -451 1802 -00:30:10,530 ~-~-> 00:30:11,730 1803 -That's a consolidation. 1804 - 1805 -452 1806 -00:30:12,660 ~-~-> 00:30:19,380 1807 -This move here is the trend, okay, or the price swing out of 1808 - 1809 -453 1810 -00:30:19,380 ~-~-> 00:30:23,550 1811 -consolidation. So now, when price breaks down like this, 1812 - 1813 -454 1814 -00:30:23,700 ~-~-> 00:30:27,870 1815 -what do we as technical traders expect to see another 1816 - 1817 -455 1818 -00:30:27,870 ~-~-> 00:30:30,540 1819 -consolidation. So what's going to take place in the 1820 - 1821 -456 1822 -00:30:30,540 ~-~-> 00:30:35,040 1823 -consolidation is going to be a bounce. It could trade up to 1824 - 1825 -457 1826 -00:30:35,040 ~-~-> 00:30:38,700 1827 -another resistance level, okay, which would be old support 1828 - 1829 -458 1830 -00:30:40,710 ~-~-> 00:30:44,280 1831 -and price will eventually trade back into a consolidation. 1832 - 1833 -459 1834 -00:30:44,790 ~-~-> 00:30:48,720 1835 -Okay, and we can now look for inside this consolidation, 1836 - 1837 -460 1838 -00:30:48,960 ~-~-> 00:30:53,550 1839 -smaller short term, optimal trade entry tops. 1840 - 1841 -461 1842 -00:30:55,260 ~-~-> 00:30:55,980 1843 -Thank you. 1844 - 1845 -462 1846 -00:30:56,550 ~-~-> 00:30:59,610 1847 -We have a higher time frame price leg that's already turned 1848 - 1849 -463 1850 -00:30:59,610 ~-~-> 00:31:04,830 1851 -on 100 timeframe key support and resistance level. As price 1852 - 1853 -464 1854 -00:31:04,830 ~-~-> 00:31:11,220 1855 -broke down, we are now in our minds focusing on lower level 1856 - 1857 -465 1858 -00:31:12,120 ~-~-> 00:31:17,430 1859 -515 one hour basis, optimal trade entries to look for what 1860 - 1861 -466 1862 -00:31:17,520 ~-~-> 00:31:21,690 1863 -lower prices, okay? So by having this mindset going in and 1864 - 1865 -467 1866 -00:31:21,690 ~-~-> 00:31:26,130 1867 -trading during consolidations, we're essentially limiting 1868 - 1869 -468 1870 -00:31:26,130 ~-~-> 00:31:32,730 1871 -our exposure to the market by only selling short. Basically 1872 - 1873 -469 1874 -00:31:32,730 ~-~-> 00:31:37,110 1875 -an established weak market, okay? And we have a bias going 1876 - 1877 -470 1878 -00:31:37,110 ~-~-> 00:31:40,440 1879 -into our analysis. So we're not going to be subjective and 1880 - 1881 -471 1882 -00:31:40,860 ~-~-> 00:31:43,950 1883 -just be lulled into new buying and selling, buying and 1884 - 1885 -472 1886 -00:31:43,950 ~-~-> 00:31:46,020 1887 -selling simply because the price is doing whatever it's 1888 - 1889 -473 1890 -00:31:46,020 ~-~-> 00:31:49,350 1891 -doing the time we sit down in front of our monitors. We are 1892 - 1893 -474 1894 -00:31:49,350 ~-~-> 00:31:54,750 1895 -focused on one specific process and we have a higher time 1896 - 1897 -475 1898 -00:31:54,750 ~-~-> 00:31:58,560 1899 -frame. support resistance levels are or on our side we have 1900 - 1901 -476 1902 -00:31:58,560 ~-~-> 00:32:01,620 1903 -the fact that we have broken markets. Market flows on our 1904 - 1905 -477 1906 -00:32:01,620 ~-~-> 00:32:04,950 1907 -side. Okay, cuz now think just looking at this price chart 1908 - 1909 -478 1910 -00:32:04,950 ~-~-> 00:32:10,830 1911 -chart right here if this is a currency market flow is still 1912 - 1913 -479 1914 -00:32:10,860 ~-~-> 00:32:16,290 1915 -bearish until we take out this swing high before this swing 1916 - 1917 -480 1918 -00:32:16,290 ~-~-> 00:32:20,580 1919 -high formed, market structure was still bearish until this 1920 - 1921 -481 1922 -00:32:20,580 ~-~-> 00:32:23,160 1923 -swing high was taken out. Obviously we keep making lower 1924 - 1925 -482 1926 -00:32:23,160 ~-~-> 00:32:29,040 1927 -lows and lower highs and we maintain a sell scenario in our 1928 - 1929 -483 1930 -00:32:29,040 ~-~-> 00:32:34,440 1931 -trading. Looking for shorter term you know where it's lesser 1932 - 1933 -484 1934 -00:32:34,440 ~-~-> 00:32:38,610 1935 -timeframe, fractal pattern of optimal trade entry tops, 1936 - 1937 -485 1938 -00:32:38,850 ~-~-> 00:32:44,010 1939 -okay. Again, price will stay within this consolidation as 1940 - 1941 -486 1942 -00:32:44,010 ~-~-> 00:32:48,600 1943 -price moves up inside of each one of these price legs. Every 1944 - 1945 -487 1946 -00:32:48,600 ~-~-> 00:32:52,470 1947 -single one of these, if this is a daily chart, every one of 1948 - 1949 -488 1950 -00:32:52,470 ~-~-> 00:32:56,580 1951 -these smaller price swings in here. If you look at smaller 1952 - 1953 -489 1954 -00:32:56,580 ~-~-> 00:33:00,000 1955 -timeframe charts, you'll see optimal trade entries on a 1956 - 1957 -490 1958 -00:33:00,000 ~-~-> 00:33:03,990 1959 -Lower timeframe near the highs and the tops. They're going 1960 - 1961 -491 1962 -00:33:03,990 ~-~-> 00:33:07,770 1963 -to be there because it's fractal in nature. Okay, it's going 1964 - 1965 -492 1966 -00:33:07,770 ~-~-> 00:33:09,990 1967 -to be there, I guarantee you, we're going to look at some 1968 - 1969 -493 1970 -00:33:09,990 ~-~-> 00:33:12,000 1971 -examples. Because I know you're probably scratching your 1972 - 1973 -494 1974 -00:33:12,000 ~-~-> 00:33:13,860 1975 -head saying, Okay, this is great you to show me a line 1976 - 1977 -495 1978 -00:33:13,860 ~-~-> 00:33:17,130 1979 -chart, Michael, but I really want to see, I want to be able 1980 - 1981 -496 1982 -00:33:17,130 ~-~-> 00:33:18,990 1983 -to digest what you're what you're showing me and I'm gonna 1984 - 1985 -497 1986 -00:33:18,990 ~-~-> 00:33:22,350 1987 -get to that. But this is the theory. Okay, so we, we have to 1988 - 1989 -498 1990 -00:33:22,350 ~-~-> 00:33:24,540 1991 -have this before we go into the price chart. Otherwise, this 1992 - 1993 -499 1994 -00:33:24,540 ~-~-> 00:33:25,920 1995 -is gonna look like I'm cherry picking. 1996 - 1997 -500 1998 -00:33:27,960 ~-~-> 00:33:28,680 1999 -Eventually, 2000 - 2001 -501 2002 -00:33:28,740 ~-~-> 00:33:32,340 2003 -price will move outside of the consolidation and into a 2004 - 2005 -502 2006 -00:33:32,340 ~-~-> 00:33:35,790 2007 -trending move again. So we move from consolidation, to 2008 - 2009 -503 2010 -00:33:35,790 ~-~-> 00:33:39,630 2011 -trending move to consolidation to trending move. Now we have 2012 - 2013 -504 2014 -00:33:39,630 ~-~-> 00:33:44,220 2015 -a complete fractal on the higher time frame inside of this 2016 - 2017 -505 2018 -00:33:44,250 ~-~-> 00:33:48,060 2019 -overall price structure. This pattern can be broken down 2020 - 2021 -506 2022 -00:33:48,060 ~-~-> 00:33:51,990 2023 -into smaller sub units on the lower timeframes, and you'll 2024 - 2025 -507 2026 -00:33:51,990 ~-~-> 00:33:56,040 2027 -see the same pattern you see here on the lower timeframes as 2028 - 2029 -508 2030 -00:33:56,040 ~-~-> 00:34:01,680 2031 -well by having this perspective, going into analysis, having 2032 - 2033 -509 2034 -00:34:01,680 ~-~-> 00:34:04,350 2035 -it on a higher timeframe first and then moving down to a 2036 - 2037 -510 2038 -00:34:04,350 ~-~-> 00:34:07,920 2039 -lower timeframe. It helps with your daily bias. It keeps you 2040 - 2041 -511 2042 -00:34:07,920 ~-~-> 00:34:10,020 2043 -on the right side of the market generally unless there's a 2044 - 2045 -512 2046 -00:34:10,020 ~-~-> 00:34:13,050 2047 -major market reversal. Hopefully if you're if you're 2048 - 2049 -513 2050 -00:34:13,050 ~-~-> 00:34:15,300 2051 -monitoring that macro view Anyway, you should be 2052 - 2053 -514 2054 -00:34:15,300 ~-~-> 00:34:18,000 2055 -anticipating that anyway unless there's an act of God or 2056 - 2057 -515 2058 -00:34:18,000 ~-~-> 00:34:21,660 2059 -something new, unexpected takes place in rocks the market. 2060 - 2061 -516 2062 -00:34:26,970 ~-~-> 00:34:29,190 2063 -Okay, so we have our fractal pattern here. 2064 - 2065 -517 2066 -00:34:29,490 ~-~-> 00:34:30,060 2067 -It's a 2068 - 2069 -518 2070 -00:34:30,840 ~-~-> 00:34:36,900 2071 -down swing in prices, a swing that you can see in any 2072 - 2073 -519 2074 -00:34:36,900 ~-~-> 00:34:41,820 2075 -timeframe, it's not limited to any specific one. But what 2076 - 2077 -520 2078 -00:34:41,820 ~-~-> 00:34:47,580 2079 -would it look like in a real chart? Well, it just so happens 2080 - 2081 -521 2082 -00:34:47,580 ~-~-> 00:34:52,410 2083 -that I'm looking at the cable and we're going to use today's 2084 - 2085 -522 2086 -00:34:52,410 ~-~-> 00:34:55,440 2087 -example. So it's, it's more timely, it's it's something that 2088 - 2089 -523 2090 -00:34:55,440 ~-~-> 00:34:58,800 2091 -you can look at right now. I know some of you probably are 2092 - 2093 -524 2094 -00:34:58,800 ~-~-> 00:35:01,410 2095 -watching this video. Probably From the time I did the 2096 - 2097 -525 2098 -00:35:01,410 ~-~-> 00:35:05,520 2099 -recording, but as of the moment I did this I screen captured 2100 - 2101 -526 2102 -00:35:05,520 ~-~-> 00:35:09,180 2103 -what price was doing and this is a 15 minute chart of the 2104 - 2105 -527 2106 -00:35:09,180 ~-~-> 00:35:17,160 2107 -cable British Pound USD. Alright and if you look at this 2108 - 2109 -528 2110 -00:35:19,170 ~-~-> 00:35:23,250 2111 -alright if you look at this we have a major resistance level 2112 - 2113 -529 2114 -00:35:23,250 ~-~-> 00:35:27,630 2115 -here 163 price trades up to that much in the same way we are 2116 - 2117 -530 2118 -00:35:27,690 ~-~-> 00:35:32,370 2119 -our crude example to the left, shows price goes up, comes 2120 - 2121 -531 2122 -00:35:32,370 ~-~-> 00:35:36,930 2123 -down, okay and then comes up and makes another attempt to 2124 - 2125 -532 2126 -00:35:36,930 ~-~-> 00:35:40,860 2127 -get back to that resistance level but it fails and it gives 2128 - 2129 -533 2130 -00:35:40,860 ~-~-> 00:35:46,380 2131 -you an optimal trade entry. Note this low right here. And 2132 - 2133 -534 2134 -00:35:46,380 ~-~-> 00:35:50,970 2135 -now note the fractal example in the upper left. That's that 2136 - 2137 -535 2138 -00:35:50,970 ~-~-> 00:35:56,250 2139 -low that would shift everything to bearish Okay, that is 2140 - 2141 -536 2142 -00:35:56,250 ~-~-> 00:36:00,960 2143 -broken here. So now what you would be looking for His 2144 - 2145 -537 2146 -00:36:01,020 ~-~-> 00:36:04,230 2147 -optimal trade entry sell patterns because now you are an 2148 - 2149 -538 2150 -00:36:04,230 ~-~-> 00:36:08,610 2151 -established bearish market. Okay, everything you do from 2152 - 2153 -539 2154 -00:36:08,610 ~-~-> 00:36:13,320 2155 -that point on should be looked for selling Okay, even your 2156 - 2157 -540 2158 -00:36:13,320 ~-~-> 00:36:17,100 2159 -scalps okay? If you're an intraday trader look for smaller 2160 - 2161 -541 2162 -00:36:17,100 ~-~-> 00:36:20,730 2163 -short term optimal trade entries sell signals okay focusing 2164 - 2165 -542 2166 -00:36:20,730 ~-~-> 00:36:25,680 2167 -on one pattern in fractal in nature you can find several 2168 - 2169 -543 2170 -00:36:25,710 ~-~-> 00:36:29,250 2171 -opportunities in this example alone that gives you optimal 2172 - 2173 -544 2174 -00:36:29,250 ~-~-> 00:36:36,870 2175 -trade entries. For instance this optimal trade entry that we 2176 - 2177 -545 2178 -00:36:36,870 ~-~-> 00:36:41,430 2179 -see here when it broke this example of market 2180 - 2181 -546 2182 -00:36:42,060 ~-~-> 00:36:43,920 2183 -flow changing 2184 - 2185 -547 2186 -00:36:43,950 ~-~-> 00:36:44,700 2187 -to bearish 2188 - 2189 -548 2190 -00:36:45,780 ~-~-> 00:36:49,950 2191 -this swing high has to break before it becomes bullish 2192 - 2193 -549 2194 -00:36:49,950 ~-~-> 00:36:56,670 2195 -again. price moves lower trades up and inside here. Just a 2196 - 2197 -550 2198 -00:36:56,670 ~-~-> 00:37:00,990 2199 -small little timeframe moving in here A small optimal trade 2200 - 2201 -551 2202 -00:37:00,990 ~-~-> 00:37:06,810 2203 -entry in here and sells off. Look at this high here to this 2204 - 2205 -552 2206 -00:37:06,810 ~-~-> 00:37:10,410 2207 -high here, I mean this low here. Do you see how price trades 2208 - 2209 -553 2210 -00:37:10,410 ~-~-> 00:37:13,050 2211 -down up into an apple trade entry and then look at the sell 2212 - 2213 -554 2214 -00:37:13,050 ~-~-> 00:37:20,430 2215 -off. See that? Look at this high here in this low here in 2216 - 2217 -555 2218 -00:37:20,430 ~-~-> 00:37:25,740 2219 -this high here. That's optimal trade entry. Okay. Look how 2220 - 2221 -556 2222 -00:37:25,740 ~-~-> 00:37:29,910 2223 -many times it gives you optimal trade entries just in that 2224 - 2225 -557 2226 -00:37:29,910 ~-~-> 00:37:34,500 2227 -small section of time. See this high here 2228 - 2229 -558 2230 -00:37:35,820 ~-~-> 00:37:36,720 2231 -to this low here. 2232 - 2233 -559 2234 -00:37:38,070 ~-~-> 00:37:42,210 2235 -Price trades down, comes all the way back up. Optimal trade 2236 - 2237 -560 2238 -00:37:42,210 ~-~-> 00:37:46,530 2239 -entry sells off again. Look at the price structure here. It 2240 - 2241 -561 2242 -00:37:46,530 ~-~-> 00:37:50,880 2243 -trades down comes back up. Optimal trade entry again, sells 2244 - 2245 -562 2246 -00:37:50,880 ~-~-> 00:37:55,800 2247 -off. You see how by using a higher time frame premise. You 2248 - 2249 -563 2250 -00:37:55,800 ~-~-> 00:38:01,170 2251 -can use fractal fractal analysis to keep you On one side of 2252 - 2253 -564 2254 -00:38:01,170 ~-~-> 00:38:04,890 2255 -the market keying off of one specific approach to trading, 2256 - 2257 -565 2258 -00:38:04,950 ~-~-> 00:38:08,610 2259 -in this case being a seller and it will keep you more or 2260 - 2261 -566 2262 -00:38:08,610 ~-~-> 00:38:18,690 2263 -less you know with the right bias, okay? Now notice the high 2264 - 2265 -567 2266 -00:38:18,780 ~-~-> 00:38:24,570 2267 -to low here, okay this high to this low. This is one price 2268 - 2269 -568 2270 -00:38:24,600 ~-~-> 00:38:29,790 2271 -lake or one major dominant price swing then we had a major 2272 - 2273 -569 2274 -00:38:29,820 ~-~-> 00:38:34,050 2275 -retracement deep in here, okay? If you go and look at these 2276 - 2277 -570 2278 -00:38:34,050 ~-~-> 00:38:37,950 2279 -high here to this low we have a optimal trade entry. Okay. 2280 - 2281 -571 2282 -00:38:38,340 ~-~-> 00:38:43,950 2283 -So now think about it. We use the fractal pattern here in 2284 - 2285 -572 2286 -00:38:43,950 ~-~-> 00:38:48,930 2287 -this leg here, but now zoom out and don't look so close. In 2288 - 2289 -573 2290 -00:38:48,930 ~-~-> 00:38:53,730 2291 -other words if we move maybe to an hourly chart, you would 2292 - 2293 -574 2294 -00:38:53,730 ~-~-> 00:39:01,410 2295 -see this high to this low up to this high as a fractal 2296 - 2297 -575 2298 -00:39:01,440 ~-~-> 00:39:06,750 2299 -pattern in sync capacity shows here, okay. So this high to 2300 - 2301 -576 2302 -00:39:06,750 ~-~-> 00:39:12,090 2303 -the low would be more or less established. And an example of 2304 - 2305 -577 2306 -00:39:12,090 ~-~-> 00:39:16,530 2307 -buying this high to this low and this low to this high would 2308 - 2309 -578 2310 -00:39:16,530 ~-~-> 00:39:20,700 2311 -be crudely exampled by this low to this high. So watch what 2312 - 2313 -579 2314 -00:39:20,700 ~-~-> 00:39:24,990 2315 -happens the same concept is now going to be applied with 2316 - 2317 -580 2318 -00:39:24,990 ~-~-> 00:39:29,880 2319 -this price swing from high to low to high. This is a low 2320 - 2321 -581 2322 -00:39:30,870 ~-~-> 00:39:34,950 2323 -market structure breaks down here. Okay, see this low? It 2324 - 2325 -582 2326 -00:39:34,950 ~-~-> 00:39:39,240 2327 -breaks right there. So now what do you do? You look for 2328 - 2329 -583 2330 -00:39:39,870 ~-~-> 00:39:44,880 2331 -optimal trade entry shorts. Here's your high trades down to 2332 - 2333 -584 2334 -00:39:44,880 ~-~-> 00:39:48,480 2335 -a low starts to run up. What do you expect optimal trade 2336 - 2337 -585 2338 -00:39:48,480 ~-~-> 00:39:55,440 2339 -entry? high low. Here's your retracement down. Look what 2340 - 2341 -586 2342 -00:39:55,440 ~-~-> 00:39:56,070 2343 -happens again. 2344 - 2345 -587 2346 -00:39:56,400 ~-~-> 00:39:58,770 2347 -See this high to this low 2348 - 2349 -588 2350 -00:39:59,700 ~-~-> 00:40:04,980 2351 -also Trade entry down. Okay. Same thing here very short term 2352 - 2353 -589 2354 -00:40:06,000 ~-~-> 00:40:10,500 2355 -high down the low end in here. And this is where we start to 2356 - 2357 -590 2358 -00:40:10,500 ~-~-> 00:40:13,470 2359 -see what a breakdown did not fulfill. 2360 - 2361 -591 2362 -00:40:14,580 ~-~-> 00:40:15,540 2363 -Look what happens here. 2364 - 2365 -592 2366 -00:40:18,300 ~-~-> 00:40:22,290 2367 -See what's happened we have this high turn. So now we have a 2368 - 2369 -593 2370 -00:40:22,590 ~-~-> 00:40:26,610 2371 -probable change in direction where now market flow has 2372 - 2373 -594 2374 -00:40:26,610 ~-~-> 00:40:31,980 2375 -shifted to bullishness. So this, this fractal is now a 2376 - 2377 -595 2378 -00:40:31,980 ~-~-> 00:40:35,580 2379 -replication of this price swing. So if we look at this high 2380 - 2381 -596 2382 -00:40:36,480 ~-~-> 00:40:41,730 2383 -to this low in terms of pit magnitude and towards the price 2384 - 2385 -597 2386 -00:40:41,730 ~-~-> 00:40:46,410 2387 -swing, it's replicated in terms of distance and the words 2388 - 2389 -598 2390 -00:40:46,410 ~-~-> 00:40:50,160 2391 -this range from low to high is essentially the same thing 2392 - 2393 -599 2394 -00:40:50,160 ~-~-> 00:40:52,950 2395 -you see here this high to this low 2396 - 2397 -600 2398 -00:41:00,000 ~-~-> 00:41:03,840 2399 -Market turning points. All right, we talked about market 2400 - 2401 -601 2402 -00:41:03,840 ~-~-> 00:41:08,880 2403 -flow. And we talked about market structure. But without 2404 - 2405 -602 2406 -00:41:08,880 ~-~-> 00:41:13,410 2407 -having it understood on the actual individual candles or 2408 - 2409 -603 2410 -00:41:13,410 ~-~-> 00:41:18,240 2411 -bars. It could be a little unnerving to some folks that are 2412 - 2413 -604 2414 -00:41:18,240 ~-~-> 00:41:20,280 2415 -just starting to watch this and scratching their head 2416 - 2417 -605 2418 -00:41:20,280 ~-~-> 00:41:22,380 2419 -thinking, you know, what, what am I supposed to be looking 2420 - 2421 -606 2422 -00:41:22,380 ~-~-> 00:41:25,590 2423 -for? Well, regardless of what time frame you're looking at, 2424 - 2425 -607 2426 -00:41:25,860 ~-~-> 00:41:31,500 2427 -okay, if you have a pattern that is looking for a sell 2428 - 2429 -608 2430 -00:41:31,500 ~-~-> 00:41:36,600 2431 -scenario, okay? You're looking for a sell scenario, there 2432 - 2433 -609 2434 -00:41:36,600 ~-~-> 00:41:41,280 2435 -are several opportunities to use price to get you into a 2436 - 2437 -610 2438 -00:41:41,280 ~-~-> 00:41:45,690 2439 -move. Okay, and for instance, we're going to take this is a 2440 - 2441 -611 2442 -00:41:45,900 ~-~-> 00:41:50,340 2443 -turning point for a sell as price runs up, and we're going 2444 - 2445 -612 2446 -00:41:50,340 ~-~-> 00:41:52,440 2447 -to be assuming that this is a resistance level up in here of 2448 - 2449 -613 2450 -00:41:52,440 ~-~-> 00:41:56,430 2451 -some kind. And maybe this is a five minute chart. Okay, you 2452 - 2453 -614 2454 -00:41:56,430 ~-~-> 00:42:00,000 2455 -zoom down to a five minute chart into that resistance level. 2456 - 2457 -615 2458 -00:42:00,000 ~-~-> 00:42:02,910 2459 -And a time of day when you would expect the turn to take 2460 - 2461 -616 2462 -00:42:02,910 ~-~-> 00:42:07,020 2463 -place for instance in London and we see the price run up 2464 - 2465 -617 2466 -00:42:07,080 ~-~-> 00:42:09,870 2467 -okay on this one, one kilohertz is going to represent in 2468 - 2469 -618 2470 -00:42:09,870 ~-~-> 00:42:13,950 2471 -this example a five minute candle. Then we see the lower 2472 - 2473 -619 2474 -00:42:13,980 ~-~-> 00:42:18,630 2475 -candle here form. So now we have a five minute swing high. 2476 - 2477 -620 2478 -00:42:20,070 ~-~-> 00:42:23,160 2479 -Now price will come down, okay and it may even come up here. 2480 - 2481 -621 2482 -00:42:23,370 ~-~-> 00:42:27,840 2483 -Now what does this look like? This would be what an optimal 2484 - 2485 -622 2486 -00:42:27,840 ~-~-> 00:42:29,970 2487 -trade entry sell signal okay? 2488 - 2489 -623 2490 -00:42:31,170 ~-~-> 00:42:31,920 2491 -in here 2492 - 2493 -624 2494 -00:42:33,180 ~-~-> 00:42:36,630 2495 -okay in here, we have another short term, 2496 - 2497 -625 2498 -00:42:37,770 ~-~-> 00:42:38,610 2499 -swing high. 2500 - 2501 -626 2502 -00:42:39,780 ~-~-> 00:42:43,410 2503 -This is a high with two lower highs going sorry with two 2504 - 2505 -627 2506 -00:42:43,410 ~-~-> 00:42:46,020 2507 -lower highs on either side of it. So if you see this 2508 - 2509 -628 2510 -00:42:46,020 ~-~-> 00:42:49,560 2511 -pattern, okay, in this whole range, this whole range could 2512 - 2513 -629 2514 -00:42:49,560 ~-~-> 00:42:56,190 2515 -be as little as five pips. 10 pips, okay. You could be 2516 - 2517 -630 2518 -00:42:56,190 ~-~-> 00:43:01,290 2519 -selling right here on this candle at market. Okay, or You 2520 - 2521 -631 2522 -00:43:01,290 ~-~-> 00:43:05,670 2523 -can use a break below this candle here on a sell stop. Okay, 2524 - 2525 -632 2526 -00:43:05,670 ~-~-> 00:43:09,960 2527 -so if you if you break down here, so be selling on a stop or 2528 - 2529 -633 2530 -00:43:09,960 ~-~-> 00:43:15,180 2531 -selling at the market, okay, or using this low here. Okay 2532 - 2533 -634 2534 -00:43:15,180 ~-~-> 00:43:17,790 2535 -because we have a low with a higher low on either side, this 2536 - 2537 -635 2538 -00:43:17,790 ~-~-> 00:43:22,350 2539 -is a swing low, we can use this low as a indication to sell 2540 - 2541 -636 2542 -00:43:22,350 ~-~-> 00:43:26,760 2543 -on a limit at this price or higher. So, for example, we'll 2544 - 2545 -637 2546 -00:43:26,760 ~-~-> 00:43:31,590 2547 -say this is the cable, and this price is 161 50, we could 2548 - 2549 -638 2550 -00:43:31,590 ~-~-> 00:43:35,310 2551 -have a limit order to sell at 161 50. And on this candle 2552 - 2553 -639 2554 -00:43:35,700 ~-~-> 00:43:38,490 2555 -right here, once we see this candle close and it starts to 2556 - 2557 -640 2558 -00:43:38,490 ~-~-> 00:43:43,200 2559 -open up here, entering a limit order at 161 50. To sell 2560 - 2561 -641 2562 -00:43:43,560 ~-~-> 00:43:46,710 2563 -would fill you in this candle and then we would expect an 2564 - 2565 -642 2566 -00:43:46,740 ~-~-> 00:43:50,550 2567 -anticipate price to break down below this low if we see that 2568 - 2569 -643 2570 -00:43:50,970 ~-~-> 00:43:54,090 2571 -that's what you expect to see in market turning points and 2572 - 2573 -644 2574 -00:43:54,090 ~-~-> 00:43:57,930 2575 -then you can look for range expansion to the downside and 2576 - 2577 -645 2578 -00:43:57,930 ~-~-> 00:44:01,170 2579 -then manage your stops above the recession. Stop the highs 2580 - 2581 -646 2582 -00:44:01,170 ~-~-> 00:44:08,520 2583 -up here as well. Okay, obviously the same thing applies is 2584 - 2585 -647 2586 -00:44:08,520 ~-~-> 00:44:11,220 2587 -reversing it. If we are expecting bullishness in the 2588 - 2589 -648 2590 -00:44:11,220 ~-~-> 00:44:13,650 2591 -marketplace, we're going to assume that there's a support 2592 - 2593 -649 2594 -00:44:13,650 ~-~-> 00:44:16,500 2595 -level down here. We wait for again, this is a five minute 2596 - 2597 -650 2598 -00:44:16,500 ~-~-> 00:44:21,240 2599 -chart, we could see a low with two higher lows on either 2600 - 2601 -651 2602 -00:44:21,240 ~-~-> 00:44:25,350 2603 -side of it here, and price runs up. Okay, and eventually it 2604 - 2605 -652 2606 -00:44:25,350 ~-~-> 00:44:28,440 2607 -starts to come back down again in here. It doesn't have to 2608 - 2609 -653 2610 -00:44:28,470 ~-~-> 00:44:32,040 2611 -do this. Okay, you could just use the previous swing here. 2612 - 2613 -654 2614 -00:44:34,020 ~-~-> 00:44:38,130 2615 -And if it breaks that, obviously that would be what you're 2616 - 2617 -655 2618 -00:44:38,130 ~-~-> 00:44:40,260 2619 -looking for.
