OTE Pattern Recognition Series - Vol 14.srt

1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,560
ICT: Hello, folks, this is episode number 14 in a continuing

2
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,440
series of videos for the optimal trade entry pattern

3
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,140
recognition series, the inner circle trader YouTube channel.

4
00:00:22,650 --> 00:00:26,190
Alright, so our example for today is the British pound. We

5
00:00:26,190 --> 00:00:28,290
already have our chart trained in on the five minute chart,

6
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:32,580
you know the drill, pause your video, study it before I show

7
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:33,450
the annotations.

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,310
Okay, here we go. We have our New York session again, always

9
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:51,870
830 to 11am, New York time. And this is our optimal trade

10
00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:54,750
entry. Now I'm going to go over a couple in here briefly,

11
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:58,920
but this is the one that I would use. This is how I teach it

12
00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:05,850
and my mentor As well, the selection of this particular

13
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:09,720
swing is, again, it's a little bit of a finesse type thing.

14
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:14,700
But I want you to know that you see this here, I'm going to

15
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:17,250
take it off for a moment, just so you can see, when you're

16
00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:19,770
looking at your chart, it's going to look like this unless

17
00:01:19,770 --> 00:01:21,660
you have other things that were top of it. And that's why

18
00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:23,250
you don't want to have indicators. You don't want to have

19
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:26,100
trend lines, moving averages, none of that stuff, okay?

20
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,830
Because it's going to be a distraction. You want to be

21
00:01:28,830 --> 00:01:34,140
looking at the time of 830 to 11 when the markets showing a

22
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,980
strong willingness to go lower. Now, this is obvious a

23
00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:40,620
reversal. And if you look at my Twitter account today,

24
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:45,600
actually show a recording of me highlighting this turning

25
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,230
point here on the British Pound at this order block and

26
00:01:49,230 --> 00:01:54,690
running up above a level which it does here. I was given

27
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:58,320
that as an indication to study that and it was highlighting

28
00:01:58,530 --> 00:02:01,320
this movement here, creating just swing and then ultimate

29
00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:06,990
break down. When we entered the 830 to 11am, New York time,

30
00:02:06,990 --> 00:02:11,100
that's our New York session, time of day for this model of

31
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:16,380
creative for YouTube. And what you're looking for is a, a

32
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:22,050
price swing, that's very clear, that has a clear indication

33
00:02:22,050 --> 00:02:24,990
that it's trying to drive lower. Okay, in other words,

34
00:02:24,990 --> 00:02:32,550
there's a very quick, like underlying pressure for the price

35
00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:35,940
to go lower. It's a lot of back and forth in price action

36
00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:37,980
and creates that little trading range here, little square

37
00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:42,480
block area here. This, notice the difference between all

38
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,720
these down close candles versus this in here. It's a little

39
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,990
muddy. Okay, in other words, it's not as clear yes, it does

40
00:02:48,990 --> 00:02:51,930
decline, but it just seems like it's a lot more uncertain in

41
00:02:51,930 --> 00:02:54,990
this area. Whereas if we have this swing high, we have this

42
00:02:55,020 --> 00:02:57,870
lower high, lower high to the right in this one single

43
00:02:57,870 --> 00:03:01,950
candle here. That to me, With this real clear indication, I

44
00:03:01,950 --> 00:03:05,760
want to move lower. That's the price leg that I'm going to

45
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,770
elect to use. And if you go back and look at all the

46
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:10,740
examples we've been doing in this series, they all have very

47
00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:14,580
similar characteristics to this very thing here. So it's not

48
00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:16,950
a matter of going back in and cherry picking, which one

49
00:03:16,950 --> 00:03:20,580
looks better, which one looks perfect, whatever. After you

50
00:03:20,580 --> 00:03:24,000
do this for months, you're gonna see it. It's the same

51
00:03:24,030 --> 00:03:26,400
signature all the time. And now what is a signature, a

52
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,410
signature is something or a characteristic, okay, that the

53
00:03:31,410 --> 00:03:35,490
markets give us as price action traders that we're looking

54
00:03:35,490 --> 00:03:38,520
for, to repeat over and over and over again. So if there's

55
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:45,240
something to a market that creates a certain phenomenon, it

56
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:47,850
should have a lot of reoccurring

57
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,020
instances of a guest. So what I'm teaching in this series is

58
00:03:55,050 --> 00:03:58,890
the repeated nature of this particular pattern. All you need

59
00:03:58,890 --> 00:04:01,050
to do is determine what Whether you're gonna be trading a

60
00:04:01,050 --> 00:04:06,990
run below yesterday's low or above yesterday's high and I've

61
00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:10,050
already shown you a continuation pattern using the same

62
00:04:10,050 --> 00:04:14,790
thing with a market it's already gone beyond the previous

63
00:04:14,790 --> 00:04:18,180
day's high or low and you can still use this this model to

64
00:04:18,210 --> 00:04:20,940
practice in and grow in your understanding with price

65
00:04:20,940 --> 00:04:26,190
action. So with that said, all of this in here is the price

66
00:04:26,190 --> 00:04:30,420
leg that I would use and how I teach it so it's very clear

67
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:35,250
it's showing a displacement. Okay, very clear, obvious

68
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:39,690
movement lower. The market comes back up trades into this

69
00:04:39,690 --> 00:04:43,470
high but not all up into it. So we're at the fed back to it

70
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:47,280
again. And again, the fib is not the magic. It's not trust

71
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:52,290
me. It's has nothing to do with why price is going up there.

72
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,660
The Fed is just allowing me to frame a market that is really

73
00:04:57,930 --> 00:05:00,000
overbought without having to use any overbought or

74
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,380
indicator, because I'm showing you the range of this high to

75
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:07,980
this low. So when price traded back up to here, if we look

76
00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:12,390
back inside that range, we are really near this high. So

77
00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:14,640
technically that would be a short term overbought market.

78
00:05:15,060 --> 00:05:17,430
That's all the fibs helping me illustrate and then the

79
00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:20,550
Fibonacci projections. Okay, all these levels on here are

80
00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:24,510
just rough ideas how far the market could go. But again,

81
00:05:24,510 --> 00:05:27,780
we're linking that with the previous day's low in this case

82
00:05:27,780 --> 00:05:30,690
here. And then you see the previous day's low. We do trade

83
00:05:30,690 --> 00:05:33,420
down into it. Now. The details are we always look for the

84
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:36,750
60% retracement level that in this instance would be

85
00:05:36,780 --> 00:05:41,250
hypothetical entry of 1.2268 with one PIP that using a 20

86
00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:44,790
PIP stop loss that would take us above this high. No real

87
00:05:45,180 --> 00:05:47,940
Jeopardy in terms of being stopped out. You do have seven

88
00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:50,910
pips draw down. Again, we're always using a 62% retracement

89
00:05:50,910 --> 00:05:54,090
level, you can finesse your entry and try to use the 70.5

90
00:05:54,090 --> 00:05:57,510
level or 79 cent trace level but as I mentioned in previous

91
00:05:57,510 --> 00:06:01,050
recordings in this series, you're likely to miss the trade

92
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,100
and or the dealer spread may not be covered for your entry

93
00:06:05,100 --> 00:06:09,450
to fill. So again, we're using the low hanging fruit

94
00:06:09,540 --> 00:06:11,760
approach as I like to teach in my mentorship where it's

95
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,930
really really easy to get to 62% retracement level, and not

96
00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:18,960
always the 79 everybody wants to sell at the highest levels

97
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,270
that way their stop loss can be smaller, but you don't need

98
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:24,390
to do that. And especially when you're learning how to use

99
00:06:24,390 --> 00:06:27,060
the pattern so the market starts to show a willingness to

100
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:31,590
drop lower. Right down here we have about 20 pips or so at

101
00:06:31,890 --> 00:06:34,110
just the old low. So right away, you can bank something

102
00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:38,520
there. And at one half of a standard deviation, you have

103
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,880
about 40 pips that you could potentially bank there

104
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,270
hypothetically, and then ultimately down to 60 pips, which

105
00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:48,150
runs the previous day's low. So all in all, we have a three

106
00:06:48,150 --> 00:06:50,220
to one reward to risk if you'd like to look at those types

107
00:06:50,220 --> 00:06:53,910
of things. I think it's really not necessary because if you

108
00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:57,180
have a high strike rate method or model, and I know some of

109
00:06:57,180 --> 00:07:00,420
you that are learning or maybe some of you that really like

110
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,760
to look at these types of things and say this is what has to

111
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,520
happen for me to take a trade. You know, you can make an

112
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,990
amazing career trading one to one if you have a very solid

113
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:12,870
strike rate. And clearly, as I'm indicating in these

114
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,950
examples here, this pattern works every single day. It's

115
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:20,820
there every single day. And the problem that's gonna plague

116
00:07:20,820 --> 00:07:23,700
you is determining whether you want to be a buyer or seller.

117
00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:27,780
And I know what you want to ask me if we were in a chat room

118
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:29,970
together, okay? Or if you were talking to me directly

119
00:07:29,970 --> 00:07:32,670
through Twitter, or, or if you emailed me, so I get this

120
00:07:32,670 --> 00:07:36,540
email a lot. Can you just tell me how determined to bias and

121
00:07:36,570 --> 00:07:41,430
I'm telling you again, it's always the same response. Number

122
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:46,860
one, it takes a lot of other supporting lessons to get good

123
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:50,790
at the bias. Now I could tell you things, and I've done a

124
00:07:50,790 --> 00:07:54,060
lot of that even in free tutorials. That's on this YouTube

125
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:58,290
channel. But it takes you getting in here and studying every

126
00:07:58,290 --> 00:08:01,260
single day screen, capturing your charts and doing

127
00:08:01,260 --> 00:08:03,510
annotations yourself and getting used to what the pattern

128
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:08,130
looks like. And it sounds like it should be just tell me how

129
00:08:08,130 --> 00:08:10,800
to do it one time and it works all the time. It's not like

130
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,650
that because if it was just that easy, believe me,

131
00:08:13,650 --> 00:08:16,020
everybody, we're out here doing it and they just don't do

132
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:21,060
it. So this is one more example in the continuing series.

133
00:08:21,090 --> 00:08:22,890
Hopefully you found it insightful. Until next time, wish you

134
00:08:22,890 --> 00:08:24,060
good luck and good trading.
