00:00:12,420 --> 00:00:27,510
ICT: Okay, folks, good afternoon. Okay, we're gonna take a look at the Canadian
dollar. Alright, so we have on the daily chart on the left hand side, you'll see

2
00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:41,610
that price has pulled back into a rather deep retracement. And I'm using this
body here. Now, obviously, I could have done this, okay and use the Sunday

3
00:00:41,610 --> 00:00:52,110
candle. You want to do that and certainly nothing wrong with that you'd still
get down into optimal trade entry. I'm using this right here, the open on this

4
00:00:52,110 --> 00:01:05,130
candle here. So I want to stick to weekdays, not Sunday candles. So I'm really
ignoring this candle here. And this candle actually comes in on the 22nd. Okay,

5
00:01:05,130 --> 00:01:22,980
so we're going to ignore that of October. And we're going to go with the 23rd.
Okay, which is a Monday. Just guys see it. Back one month. Here's the Sunday and

6
00:01:22,980 --> 00:01:43,350
we're using the 23rd, which is a Monday. Again, that's this candle. Right here.
Right there at 23rd. So that's the Monday, October 23 of 2017. You'll notice on

7
00:01:43,350 --> 00:01:55,170
this day, okay. disregard this candle for a moment. Okay, just imagine that it's
not there. Okay, for platforms that don't have Sunday candles, what you would be

8
00:01:55,170 --> 00:02:05,130
left with is a large candle here on the previous Friday. And then Monday's
candle here, and then Tuesday. Okay, so in the event that we don't have Sunday

9
00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:16,620
candles, because I've had this regard them among presentations using this
platform, this up candle and then Monday's trading, then Tuesday's higher low.

10
00:02:17,250 --> 00:02:31,230
Okay, This to me is a continued swing low. Okay, so for your notes, it's called
a continued swing low. That means if we have a big run up, we have a candle

11
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:41,610
immediately after the big up candle. Then we have another candle. That's a
higher low. Okay, is it continued? swing low. Okay, so now what you're not

12
00:02:41,790 --> 00:02:54,180
requiring the retracement, if you see this happening here. Now, let me preface
it by saying that it's only a continued swing low if the market is bullish. Now

13
00:02:54,180 --> 00:03:04,740
obviously, if you see this environment here, big up candle in this short little
swing low type pattern explaining this could many times if it's not bullish,

14
00:03:04,770 --> 00:03:11,700
this could be the top of the marketplace and it starts to come down. So it's not
just candlestick patterns. And it's not swing highs and swing lows that fixes

15
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:22,140
the problem with profitability or consistency. It you still have to have a
context understood about where price is most likely going to go. So I'm going to

16
00:03:22,260 --> 00:03:33,450
forego that discussion for the tutorials. But for right now, this formation
right here, after a big large candle, one candle, and then a higher low candle.

17
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:45,660
This is a continued swing low. Okay. So when we have that, we can use that as an
anchor point. Okay, and again, this regardless on this candle, and you run that

18
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:58,410
up now for folks that just simply can't agree with what I'm presenting here
today. And you're going to arm wrestle me? Or at least try to arm wrestle me

19
00:03:58,650 --> 00:04:07,290
saying oh, well, you know, this is all hindsight to say nothing long short of it
is check it, test it. And you'll see it's many times it's in the charts a lot.

20
00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:16,740
Okay, so even if I were just to use this candle here, we're used to Sunday's
candle because it is a swing low. In that case, it still gets you to optimal

21
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:26,100
trade entry. So these candles in here yesterday, Monday's trading, and in
today's trading, they are reacting off of that optimal trade entry. So no matter

22
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:33,960
how you slice it, it is what it is. Okay, so I'm telling you how I did it and
how I framed it. So this is what I did. So now we know on a daily chart, we are

23
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:45,390
in an area where we could potentially see a support level form based on the
optimal trade entry 70.5 level. Okay, it comes in, in this daily chart, but this

24
00:04:45,390 --> 00:04:59,010
platform and this data is 127 11. Okay, so now we're gonna go over to the 15
minute timeframe and set up our scalps and drop a horizontal line here and I'll

25
00:04:59,010 --> 00:05:09,900
put that right on. The 11th level. Okay, and I'm going to add midnight New York
time right there.

26
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:22,440
So you can see how price has rallied away, came back down dropped into and then
price immediately after New York midnight time for running aggressively when

27
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:32,850
prices start off, right after midnight like this, okay, many of you understand
my power three concept where r three stands for accumulation distribution and

28
00:05:32,850 --> 00:05:43,560
manipulation. Okay, that's what power three is. So what would be understood in
terms of power three would be the open and accumulation. Okay, so it's one of

29
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:54,030
three. Okay, the manipulation, the drop down here. Okay, and the rally up, and
the distribution here creating the highly day. I'll tell you why that was

30
00:05:54,180 --> 00:06:03,780
probably in a couple minutes. But power three is accumulation and distribution
and manipulation. Those three components make up the overall price action from

31
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:21,750
an institutional mindset and from a smart money perspective. So we have the
previous day's high, which is seen here. Okay, so I'm going to take this, drop

32
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:43,950
it right there. Okay, and I'm just gonna change it a little bit, just so we can
distinguish it from the other. Okay, now we have previous day's high right here.

33
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:57,270
Price gives a immediate run away. Now, the reason why daily intraday price
action does this right after New York midnight, is because it's reacting off of

34
00:06:57,270 --> 00:07:07,470
a daily higher timeframe or weekly timeframe. Okay. That's when that's what
causes season one way shots right after midnight in New York time. Many times,

35
00:07:07,470 --> 00:07:16,110
you'll see as my tutorials teach that it'll open it's bullish and drop down into
around two o'clock, three o'clock in the morning, New York time, create a low of

36
00:07:16,110 --> 00:07:23,250
the day and then rally up and do the same thing here. And in this particular
day, it doesn't do that. And the reason why it's because it's moving off of a

37
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:36,600
higher timeframe daily level. Okay, so put that in your notes as well. So price
starts to trade higher and does in fact run previous day's high right here. Now,

38
00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:46,710
when we look for intraday levels, we look for 10 to 20 PIP price swings as my
tutorials teach, and I'm just going to quickly put that lipstick on the chart.

39
00:07:48,540 --> 00:08:01,410
Okay, and we're gonna put our line right here and we're gonna draw a rectangle
up 20 pips is right there. Okay. There's 20 pips above the previous day's high.

40
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:04,020
And that takes us to about

41
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:27,930
right there. Okay, so 120 804. So 120 804 is above the big figure of 128 00.
Okay. So, if we're expecting as I was expecting higher prices on dollar CAD, the

42
00:08:27,930 --> 00:08:36,210
reason why I was expecting hard dollar CAD prices is if I go back over to the
daily chart on Dollar Index, dollar index hasn't really shown a willingness to

43
00:08:36,210 --> 00:08:44,970
break down yet. Okay, it's actually inside of a pattern, it looks to me, at
least for the short term that would be neutral to bullish, I don't see it

44
00:08:44,970 --> 00:08:53,070
wanting to go lower, it's being held in a rather tight dealing range now, it
doesn't mean that it can't break down from here it just meant as I went into

45
00:08:53,100 --> 00:09:00,630
trade today's trading I didn't feel that it was going to break down about
because the dollar was being held in consolidation. And that would be at least

46
00:09:00,630 --> 00:09:11,130
for me bolster with weakness on Canadian dollar allow the dollar CAD paired the
rally because the dollar is the first in the in the pairs name and in Canadian

47
00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:19,830
dollar. So when this currency is rallying, that means Canadian is weaker
compared to the dollar. And since dollars being held in consolidation, and

48
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:32,700
weakness in Canadian dollar will propel this particular forex pair higher. Now
I'm going to take you into the actual nuts and bolts of today's discussion.

49
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:44,220
Okay, and here is the action based on what I saw, this is an average daily
range. Okay, now notice average daily range is actually the same thing as

50
00:09:44,220 --> 00:09:54,300
previous day's high as well. Okay, within an earshot of it. We're gonna look at
this price action right in here, but we had to zoom in a little bit before right

51
00:09:54,300 --> 00:10:05,460
now, I want you to remember the context I gave you for optimal trade entry. They
form At institutional price levels, they are called by many circles as

52
00:10:05,490 --> 00:10:15,240
psychological levels. There's nothing psychological about these things. Okay?
institutions use round numbers for their orders, because it makes it easy to put

53
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:23,370
in large blocks of orders. That's it. Okay. That's the real reason what causes
the market to trade around zero levels. Okay. And that's what it is. It's

54
00:10:23,370 --> 00:10:31,440
20s 80s because they go beyond the big figures, 00 levels, above or below it,
depending on if you're bearish or bullish. And I'll explain that in a minute.

55
00:10:32,550 --> 00:10:44,430
And the mid figure, okay, like 127 50, that's a mid figure level. Okay. Then we
have 127 80, which is the next institutional price level price, then, I was

56
00:10:44,430 --> 00:10:55,350
looking at 127 97, because it's three pips just before the 128. Big figure.
Okay, so that's the reason why I wanted that price level. And secondly, we know

57
00:10:55,350 --> 00:11:05,430
that 120 is the big figure. And then right above that, we'll have 10 pips, which
is 128 10. And then 128 20. Okay, and whenever we have a big figure, my

58
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:16,590
tutorials teach, and you'll see that it goes 10 to 20 pips above intraday highs,
and a 20, Pip sweep takes us exactly up to 120 20. That's all I'm showing you

59
00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:22,920
here with this triangle here, just highlighting the fact that it's a sweep above
the 120. Big figure. So please don't read too much into the geometry on this

60
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:34,980
chart. It's not there to draw any more attention that's necessary. But I want
you to take a look at the kill zone, see t children, okay. And you can see I

61
00:11:34,980 --> 00:11:44,910
have the body on the swing low, open on this candle is the lowest of the body
reference points open or close, get the low and higher, low, higher low to the

62
00:11:44,910 --> 00:12:00,120
left and right of it. Okay, and price trading up to this swing high. And this
candles open is going to show up here on 2761. Okay, in price trades down from

63
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:09,270
that into optimal trade entry, and this level is the minifigure level. So we
have an optimal trade entry occurring exactly where I taught you. They occur at

64
00:12:09,390 --> 00:12:22,680
a figure, okay, in a time when dollar CAD is bullish, at a time when there's a
kill zones in New York kill zone. Okay. And I went in, after missing the actual

65
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:29,730
entry in here because the actual entry came in, right before the New York kills
him. So I wasn't able to get that price level. So what I'm trying to show you

66
00:12:29,730 --> 00:12:40,230
today is, and I've done this, in several instances throughout the last four
weeks or so, I'm actually not trying to give you the precision entries where

67
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:47,640
you've seen me do exercises and drills where I practice and get in there. And I
get in exactly at the PIP, I'm actually calling the very highs and weekly lows.

68
00:12:47,970 --> 00:12:55,980
And you see me do it on a daily basis where I can pull them out and show you
where they're at within one or two pips many times, but I'm usually pretty

69
00:12:55,980 --> 00:13:05,040
accurate in terms of where I think it's going to occur. You do not need that, to
trade with consistency. That's what I'm trying to illustrate here. So there's

70
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,970
gonna be times where you missed an entry that would be ideal. I missed it
because it didn't happen in the kill zone.

71
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:20,940
You can see this candle Here comes in at 1045. Now that's 6:45am my time in New
York. So the next candle, which is what I entered in, okay, is one price is

72
00:13:20,940 --> 00:13:32,100
already moving away. But because we have not traded through the reference point
that would start the sling. Now I'm using the high for this now, not the body.

73
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:41,340
This is when you want to bring in the wicks from the point in which you draw the
fib up to you want to find the highest high. Okay, as long as we're at that

74
00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:50,490
level or below it, I would be okay with getting long one. That's what makes it
or breaks it for me. Okay, I asked you guys on Twitter today, what would be the

75
00:13:50,490 --> 00:14:01,500
absolute latest time you can use for an entry? It's where your first scalping
profit taking level is, it's got to be at or below that. Otherwise, it's not you

76
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:11,070
can't take the trade. Okay, so there's your trade filter, very simple one. But
I'm assuming here on a five minute basis, we'll drop out of 15 minutes. As you

77
00:14:11,070 --> 00:14:24,990
can see, now here, the chart looks slightly different. Okay. But you can see
that the levels I was trying to take my profit out here was exactly at 127 97. I

78
00:14:24,990 --> 00:14:35,310
wanted to get out right before the 128 big figure actually gave me the exit as
it ramped up into the 120 big finger. And that swept through another portion of

79
00:14:35,340 --> 00:14:46,590
the market was peeled off at 128 10. And then ultimately, look at the the legend
maker on the Fibonacci. Now I'm going to remove these level labels here cuz I'm

80
00:14:46,590 --> 00:14:57,960
trying to be facetious. And if you watch the Twitter feed, everyone's asking me
like this one here says the showstopper and the legend maker. I did that. Just

81
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:09,570
to illustrate how Retail minded traders get really excited about these labels
and these indicator ideas, okay? Fibonacci is just a measuring tool I use. And I

82
00:15:09,570 --> 00:15:18,570
use it for like, targeting, I don't use it so much for entry, I use it to teach
where an entry would be an ideal or optimal level. But you don't need to

83
00:15:18,570 --> 00:15:27,660
Fibonacci. Now I do rely on Fibonacci for profit taking, I like to see some
things overlap to give me confidence that that's a pretty good level. Because

84
00:15:27,690 --> 00:15:36,030
always upfront and honest with you, in regards to what my weaknesses as a
trader, it's the exits, I'm never really satisfied with my exit. So this has

85
00:15:36,030 --> 00:15:45,840
been a way for me to really nail down a specific criteria where it doesn't
change all the time. It's just wherever a fib level is, if it lines up with

86
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:52,710
something else I look at from an institutional basis, which I'm not going to
teach publicly, then that's where I exit. Okay. And many times, I'm actually

87
00:15:52,710 --> 00:16:02,790
excellent before that anyway, so it is what it is. But you can see I got out
right before the actual highest high of the day. And legend maker Fibonacci was

88
00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:12,180
just shy of the actual high today. So in that case, it would have been very
close to calling the daily high. So it is what it is, I gave you an example of

89
00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:22,290
trying to take profits. Today, I'll give you a screenshot of where this demo
account was rejecting my price wouldn't give me the actual high. And I was

90
00:16:22,290 --> 00:16:29,580
trying to do that in here. And it wouldn't, it wouldn't let me do it. So I ended
up having to get out here didn't want to ride back any of this, and ultimately

91
00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:45,090
allowed me to take the two final portions off, as the price rammed up into the
128 20 level. Now, the actual high on this day comes in at exactly 128 20. Now,

92
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:57,780
for your notes, this is very, very, very important. If you ever see a swing that
sets up at a mid figure, I anticipate it reaching up to the 2780 level as an

93
00:16:57,780 --> 00:17:08,310
objective. And if it trades through 127 at anticipated rating, the 128. Or I'm
saying there's no way specifically for this pair. But if you're trading, ever

94
00:17:08,310 --> 00:17:16,470
set up long ends up forming around the mid figure 50 level and you're bullish,
anticipated trading up to the next 80 level. And if it trades through 80 with

95
00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:28,470
energy, anticipate it running through the next 00 level. Okay. And always,
always anticipate some measure of 10 to 20 pips above that big figure. That's

96
00:17:28,470 --> 00:17:39,060
what these institutional levels are for, if nothing psychological about it,
because honestly, markets don't move on psychology. Psychology is measured in

97
00:17:39,060 --> 00:17:48,360
what price has done, and what traders will most likely due. But think about what
you most likely one of the last time last week, did you really execute on it?

98
00:17:48,360 --> 00:18:01,350
No. So Marcus don't move on psychology. Okay. They don't do that. They move on
real market orders. Now sentiment is a derivative of what markets do. But

99
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,730
sentiment and

100
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:15,750
opinions, if you will, they are not the hallmarks to consistency. I don't use
any thing about my trading. That's retail based. Okay, the only thing that's

101
00:18:16,590 --> 00:18:25,440
resembles retail is if I have a Fibonacci on the chart, you know, right away,
they'll think it's Elliott Wave or something to that effect. And it's not I use

102
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:34,170
fibs for targeting. And the entry for optimal trade entry is just for you to see
what I'm seeing in the general area. But believe me, there's something entirely

103
00:18:34,170 --> 00:18:42,780
different except for just that Fibonacci level. Okay, 60 to 70% trace level is
not the magic I'm looking at. Okay? The mentorship knows what I'm looking for.

104
00:18:42,780 --> 00:18:51,270
But for now, for public perspective, it is enough to suffice and accomplish the
means that's necessary for me to teach it to you. Okay, you can keep a fib on

105
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:57,330
your chart the rest of your career and never want to get rid of it and there's
nothing wrong with it. Okay, if you need that crutch to get into the trade,

106
00:18:57,540 --> 00:19:07,020
there's absolutely zero shame in having that, you know, it is what it is. Don't
worry about it. But that's what I was using today. And you can see pretty much

107
00:19:07,020 --> 00:19:17,040
it has a real nice reaction off of that. See price had a real nice response back
off that 128 figure and now we've broken down again. Okay, so hopefully you
