ICT YT - 2017-10-11 - Pattern Recognition - Failed OTE and FOMC Mitigation Example.srt

1
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:19,290
ICT: All right, there's gonna be FOMC, you're gonna see a mitigation on a loss.
So there's a GDP and going wrong as a re entry on optimal trade entry. And I'll

2
00:00:19,290 --> 00:00:31,560
explain what that is, after the video is done. This portion is recorded price
action. So I'm anticipating it run on yesterday's high noted with previous day's

3
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:42,960
high at the top. And you can see that today's intraday high is a slightly lower
than yesterday's high. And I always look at that as equal highs, and retail

4
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:52,650
traders, or less informed traders will will view that as a double top. And
usually there's going to be by stops resting just above that. And I gave you

5
00:00:52,650 --> 00:01:05,430
yesterday Also, my next upside objective for GBP USD or cable. And I'm certain
if I was to do a poll and asked everyone, if they forgot about that, they'd

6
00:01:05,430 --> 00:01:15,930
probably say, Yes, I've taught you in a very short time that we've been
together, there is a side of the marketplace that the market makers gonna work

7
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:24,330
predominantly. And we're working on the long sides, that means previous day's
highs are going to be targeted. So it's going to be around those liquidity runs.

8
00:01:25,830 --> 00:01:38,370
And we have a price bouncing away from the high of two days ago, which is that
light blue line that's indicated where it says previous day's high two days ago.

9
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:52,290
And I'm going to be looking for price to start climbing above the most recent
short term high and prices now starting to expand, I just moved my stop loss to

10
00:01:52,290 --> 00:02:03,570
a point of no loss. It's above my entry point. So now I have an opportunity to
sit in this trade. And hopefully manage it to the point where it takes out

11
00:02:03,930 --> 00:02:14,040
previous day's high and allows me an exit point there. So what I'm trying to do
is I'm entering during the time when the market looks like it's breaking down.

12
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:23,730
Okay, when the market was dropping today, look at all the dark candles, the
black candles, they're all down close candles. So that's showing the willingness

13
00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:37,290
for the market to want to go lower, and doing it quickly. Okay, so it's doing
that, under the guise of reaching for sell stops trapping traders on the

14
00:02:37,290 --> 00:02:49,770
downside, okay, or engineering, the mindset or sentiment of retail traders or
less informed traders and say it that way. And you can see we're fastly

15
00:02:49,770 --> 00:03:01,950
approaching the FOMC. Okay, we're about four minutes away, you see how fast this
recording has been sped up. So I'm gonna be looking for the opportunity had this

16
00:03:02,190 --> 00:03:10,800
market move, push me up through previous day's high, and hopefully up into my
limit order. And now it does that influence through the equal highs you can see

17
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:18,960
how price does it want to spike, it does it real quick and snappy punch right
through previous day's high. And now it's pulled back. Now truth be told, I was

18
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:28,380
trying to get out above those equal highs, take something off there and then let
my limit order trip. But I wasn't fast enough to do that cause back and forth

19
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:39,750
between several screens. And long the short of it is I just didn't get it to get
off there. So now I'm scaling the stop loss tighter. And I'm watching that spike

20
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:55,020
that we created FOMC I know they're going to probably go want to run above that.
Okay, and a portions already been removed on this trade. So and you'll see that

21
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:09,600
in your trade ledger, where I add all the entry points and exit points at the
end of this recording of price action. So now we're above previous day's high.

22
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:20,130
And now we have this squared off price action where we have a high, bumping up
against the high and price never leaves that intact. It always wants to run

23
00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:31,830
through that put traders on the wrong side or knock those individuals out that
want to be short. Remember that long wick doji that was created FOMC Steve

24
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:40,230
Nielsen followers like to see that think that's a bearish pattern. So they'll
sell short after trading pattern one candle. And that's not something I would

25
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:51,000
advise you to do. I actually capitalize a lot on my analysis when I see things
like that. Understanding what the weaker minded traders are thinking many times

26
00:04:51,120 --> 00:05:02,940
is a an advantageous thing when we're doing analysis. And one of the wonderful
things about being a trader with 24 plus years experience, I had a lot of time

27
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:09,120
being a novice. So I knew what I was thinking then. And that's how I interpret
price a lot now.

28
00:05:09,869 --> 00:05:19,559
Okay, so I'm going to be taking something off here again, and now move my limit.
To get out, notice what I did I reduce the risk with my stop, never opening it

29
00:05:19,559 --> 00:05:28,799
up with more. But I opened up my profit potential, when I got very close to
where I wanted to get out, but it's so late in the day, I just don't want to be

30
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:36,869
messing around with it. So now I'm going to show you my entry points. Here's my
loss earlier in the day. And I'll actually take you into the charts after this

31
00:05:36,869 --> 00:05:48,869
portion is done. I'll show you what I was looking at and why it was wrong. And
there it is, there's the loss, you can see that here, enter to your optimal

32
00:05:48,869 --> 00:06:04,649
trade entry and stop me out. And then you can see the re entry and optimal trade
entry. So I'm using the same entry pattern. Got a better fill than I did on the

33
00:06:04,649 --> 00:06:14,819
initial entry. And here's my exit points. So let me take you to the charts.
Okay, folks, I'll take you in here a little closer and show you what I was doing

34
00:06:14,819 --> 00:06:32,909
today. Originally, my initial entry, I was using this price swing here, okay.
Right in here, and I wanted to get long as price drop down into optimal trade

35
00:06:32,909 --> 00:06:46,979
entry. I wanted to get long that way. So that was my entry point. And my stop
loss was a little, you know, a little tight in the sense that better setups, it

36
00:06:46,979 --> 00:06:56,369
would have never been hit. Okay, but because I felt that we hit this high of two
days ago, we hit it one time, two times three times. I didn't think we'd see it

37
00:06:56,369 --> 00:07:08,429
again. But they ran it one more time. And it stopped me. So it is what it is.
You can see the stop is right here. So after the run through, that's okay. I'm

38
00:07:08,429 --> 00:07:17,939
going back in now look what's happened. I got the same price structure here in
mind. And I'm entering rate at auto trade entry again, between the 62 and 72

39
00:07:17,969 --> 00:07:25,529
tracing level. Now you're probably thinking, Wait a minute, Michael, this is a
break in that pattern, isn't it? Yes. But it has not changed my analysis. I've

40
00:07:25,529 --> 00:07:37,289
still believe that we're going above previous day's high. So I entered there.
And price gave me an opportunity to exit here for an FOMC announcement. And I

41
00:07:37,289 --> 00:07:43,049
exited up here. And I have another one in here. I don't know. I did.

42
00:07:46,980 --> 00:07:47,790
You think it did.

43
00:07:51,390 --> 00:08:03,390
And I think it's overlapping. It's so close to one another. That's what it is.
But again, as I did yesterday, with the folks, I actually very close to the

44
00:08:03,390 --> 00:08:13,740
high. Okay. And I exited very close to the high again, you can see that really
nice price action, pulling away from that. So I made the right decision. In my

45
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:22,650
opinion, I think I made the right decision by collapsing the entire portion of
the trade. So my loss down here that I took in this trade was completely

46
00:08:22,650 --> 00:08:35,010
mitigated almost with the first scaling out, and certainly with the last two
portions, so it allowed me to go to a new equity high. So that's that. I gave

47
00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:46,710
you also a opportunity to know in advance where the banks are going to take the
cable today. The upside objective was going to be okay, in case you haven't

48
00:08:47,070 --> 00:09:00,510
checked it out yet. This is my Twitter account. So you guys are absolutely
Welcome to follow me on twitter at I underscore m underscore ICT. Okay. And I'll

49
00:09:00,510 --> 00:09:20,220
show you what I tweeted yesterday, about 20 hours ago. Right here and click on
that. You can see this was the next objective for the table. So 132 42 as well

50
00:09:20,220 --> 00:09:29,340
as looking for. So with that in mind, I always want to exit before my target
stuff. I'm calling this as an objective. I want to be exiting before that. Okay,

51
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:40,680
it's much high probability, much higher probability I should say that way to
exit before a known target in your trading plan, then is to just be greedy and

52
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:46,920
know that this is the best case scenario and this is perfection into demand
perfection, that's always going to be problematic at least it's been problematic

53
00:09:46,920 --> 00:10:06,690
for me as a trader for over two decades. So I try not to be demanding and then
when you see the high on today comes in at 132 37 And my exit point, were 130 to

54
00:10:07,170 --> 00:10:18,480
35 was the high end 132 34. And you can see prices done a really nice movement
away from that after they've unloaded like I had done today. There's been some

55
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:30,030
selling, okay, and you can see that's evident here. So again during the New York
kill zone entry, and an accident, as the banks would do, hopefully you found

56
00:10:30,030 --> 00:10:32,610
this insightful until next time, wish good luck and good
