well hello folks long time no see if you like me the present conditions all around the world right now because of the the illness that's been plaguing everyone I thought of everyone only YouTube channel that has supported this channel and maybe has been longing for some inspiration maybe some kind of a nudge by good ol ICT so I came here with the expectation that I would give the next 4 weeks or 20 trading days just a snapshot real quick kind of like train your eye to see the optimal trade entry and in its many formations and subtle nuances now it's not a signal service so that way and you guys didn't like to do the thumbs down button which I love that the the content I'm going to be providing you here is just really to activate your reticular activating system it means train your eye to see what it looks like and how it tends to form okay so for some of you that are very versed in my content and old stuff in the classic ICT library the optimal trade entry is a really an old staple now it's not important for me to go through the entire optimal trade entry and all the levels and on it stuff you'll see what they are obviously in the examples but if you have not watched the optimal trade entry or OTE primer video you can do a search on YouTube and you'll see it pops up and watch that video and kind of like gives you a kind of like a foundation up how to set your fit and all that business so if we are looking at the next 20 days just know that these videos are not intended to be very very long I want to to get right to the point but this is the first one in a series kind of like one take a little bit of Liberty to remind the individuals that are probably just new to me or to hardline critics that just can't stand me I love you too the again the premise behind all this is again not to say here's what's here's what the markets going to do next okay that's not what I'm doing here okay what I'm showing you is how you go into your charts and annotate them look for the optimal straight entry because this is how I trained myself to see it back in the 1990s I worked just like every one of you and I came home and I had to look at charts and look at moves that I missed so I taught myself to look for specific patterns and signatures and price action over a period of years and because of that and seeing it over and over and over again it builds in a pseudo experience in other words I at the time was not able to see these formations form live so I would go back and look at my charts and annotate them in the capacity as if I were really there watching it and annotating the chart as if it was something I watched and witnessed live now I'm not going to annotate the charts to degree that I personally would do it but I'm gonna provide you a kind of a baseline to work with and you can dress up your own charts and annotations and draw a great deal of attention to other things that may be important to you okay or your unique price action model I'm not teaching bias I'm not teaching how to find the right order blocks okay I'm not doing all that it's just again to train your eye to see a specific phenomenon it takes place in the marketplace and again some of you are gonna say oh this is something that everybody knows about it's a Fibonacci retracement ICT didn't invent it and it's this and it's that ok if that's your attitude that's how you think of it so you're going into this video I'm really gonna waste your time and just know that if you're that person I enjoy that where everyone else that wants to really learn how to do something I want you to see what it's like over and over and over again over a period of four weeks okay so if anything is studied for a month basically it really starts to take root in number one your memory and your identification okay the the faculties that each of us have to see something that is important to us it has to be activated okay and real short and sweet the common example I always use is if you buy a car and you've looked forward to buying this car and once you buy you take it home and the very next day you're driving it it might be the day you come home with it you start noticing that a lot of other people seem to have that same car and it's not that more people bought it because you did but your reticular activating system has been keyed up okay to filter that car because it's meaningful to you and so by me showing you examples of this particular pattern and the signatures that generally repeat with it you're going to see how you can start doing this on your own and then if you have the ability to watch it live you'll see many times its formation and then you'll grow in your confidence to pay portrayed it then demo trade it and if you feel inclined to do so if you've shown six months of consistency you want to dabble with a very very small amount of money you're live money nothing big nothing grandiose this smallest amount of money you can open up an account with and then trade the smallest little lot size as possible and then again just follow the same protocols and procedures that would otherwise lead to your trust in finding and price action you determine on your own I don't ever tell anybody say okay go treat with life money because there's a lot of responsibility in that and legally I can't tell you to do that but I can talk about price action and I can talk about the signatures that repeat themselves and I only want to talk about the optimal trade entry okay so please don't try to reach out to me and say hey can you talk about this can you do that I'm only going to be doing just this okay so again every video I'm going to try to aim at five minutes or less but this one just has to be it's just a little bit long-winded because I have to have a preamble to set the stage for what it is I'm doing so that way no one can say you said it was going to be this and it's not okay so if you're serious about understanding the things that I'm making available to you on this YouTube channel one of the hallmarks is the optimal trade entry so again what's the optimal trade entry primer video first and then come back to this series okay so again it'll be twenty videos in the series and I'll try to create a playlist that way you guys can find it very easily and you go through it but tonight as the pilot episode we're looking at the Australian dollar okay so I'm using trading view dot-com as the resource and platform and the data I'm pulling up is the Australian dollar versus the US dollar forex.com so whenever you put this symbol over here it's going to give you a sort mint of different data feeds and I always use the forex.com it's that way you guys can see the the price action the same way as I'm president presenting it here alright so when we look at the optimal trade entry and we look at its formation on a day-by-day daily basis now again I'm not trying to push or entice or convince that you should be day trading every single day okay that's not what this is I can but I've been doing this for almost three decades so many of you are very very new and there's nothing wrong with that but you cannot speed this process up it has to be done methodically it has to be done in a way where it's just allows for development and not rush you can't rush it okay so if you look at this particular currency here some of you that are familiar with my concepts right away know that there is the sensitivity off of this low here and this low here is inside of these two consecutive down close candles that's our order block so it's going to be important for the discussion Jim simply because of this video but every video after this I'm only going to go right into the day and reference the previous day's range and show you how the optimal trailer entry you formed so if you learn this okay if you grow in comfort and identifying this over a period of time what period of time minimum four weeks daily study now that doesn't mean for which you graduate now your optimal trip entry master it just means that you're very familiar with it and you have a little bit of a sample size of experience you want to build on that how long it will take for you to get really I guess used to seeing the pattern and anticipating when it's going to form that's going to be different for every single one of you so it's not here's a general rule of thumb where everybody gets it by this time no mentor no teacher no educator can say everyone's going to get it by this timeline so be very flexible with your development on your personal develop not comparing yourself to someone else okay so when we look at price action on a daily chart the main thing we're looking for is the reactions from the previous day's range okay so this is the day that we're going to study because this is a new trading day now but we're going to be looking at this particular day here and I already hear all the people here it is it's hindsight again okay for those that are new put the fact that it's hindsight aside for a moment because every single thing that you study when you buy a book news flash that's all hindsight too when you go to a seminar or a webinar and they show you previous examples that's all hindsight too so you'll learn by identifying a pattern that repeats okay so I'm teaching you a pattern of what looks like and how it generally forms okay so if you do this if you learn to do this very very well this could be your personal trading model you never need to learn anything else you never worry about indicators you never worry about learning anything else in the ICT library you don't even worry about mentorships you don't worry about going over there and signing out with signal services because you will be your own power plant of decisions and ideas and trade setups they'll come organically from your own study not relying on other people not relying on me not people in chat rooms or or groups nothing like that okay the big thing now is everyone's going to discord rooms okay or telegram rooms all these things and they're all looking for someone that's good so they can copycat off of and you don't need that you're absolutely in the position to learn how to do this for free right here and you don't need to have anybody else to convince you or pat you on the back to say follow me because I'm gonna do it and you're gonna copy off because that makes you subservient to them and that's not independent thinking and to me personally I think it's weakness and you don't want to be a weak minded decision-maker in something like this because you have the capacity to lose a great deal of money if you're trading with live funds alright so the down close candles in here that's our order block we have a candle tree down into it and then the previous day now again kind of like just move this candle out of here focus don't think that anything about this candle right now we're only focusing on this candles range and the previous day which is the sixth of May okay so in the United States right now it's 841 p.m. New York local time and it's still the seventh for me but it's a new financial day in the Forex that's what we're seeing this candle form so when we look at the previous day's range it's important to simply identify the highs and the lows of it okay so right away we know this candle is high and if we looked at these two down close candles and the fact that we traded down into it here we had a candle trade again a little bit into the odo block the order block is starting at the wick okay so this candle is high comes in at 63 ninety seven to four pipettes the price action dips into that candle range and it does it again on the seventh okay so it's not showing a willingness to go deeper it doesn't want to dig in deeper and even take out the low over here so we have to consider at least for this episode for this particular video the likelihood of the market wants him to go higher so what we want to see is does it have the ability on the very next day or the May seventh candle does it have the ability to trade above the previous day's range high why is that important for those to have a serious interest in following along and keeping up with this series you want to take notes okay so get yourself a pen and pad and just I guess make a study journal just for optimal trade entry okay so over the next twenty days I'm gonna give you simple little facets that go along with this pattern and you'll see that it will flesh out over a period of time and you'll start seeing things that you didn't really see before even if you're familiar with the optimal trade entry so we're gonna go down to a lower timeframe and these levels here are going to be on the lower timeframe chart but this study over the next twenty days is going to focus on intraday charts and specifically a five minute chart and right away some of your like I don't like five minutes charts I can't do that trust me it's beneficial to your learning all right so all right so what we have here is a blank canvas in the form of candlesticks that may or may not mean anything to you but I want to press upon you the importance of knowing the previous day's high and low and it's a very simple process you can go into your charts and should a and put rid of the villa nations on the 7th and the 6th so the range low on the 6th is here and the range high is here so when we know that on the daily chart ok above previous day's highs and lows well let me say like this above previous day's highs and below previous day's lows there's a bank of orders that generally reside in the marketplace and throughout the day depending upon how we get closer to the previous day's high or low on the new trading day and the new trading day in this example here is the 7th so we're assuming all this price action here is what we're studying when the market has a predisposed bias or trend or momentum or you just think ok that it's going to go higher you want to focus on the previous day's high anything you want to see does it have the ability to stretch and reach up to the previous day's high if it does one of two things generally happens in assuming it's a bullish one it goes through the previous day's high and this explodes and never gives you a chance to trade and that's just a missed opportunity and there's nothing you could do about it there's no reason get upset about it there's no reason to go online and complain to other people how you missed that trade or you suck or you're you're never gonna get this never do that because you're actually giving yourself negative reinforcement and your subconscious will remember that and every trade you take after that trade will be plagued by that negative narrative that you've given yourself that you suck you're never going to get this so every time you actually must throw up the courage to get in and actually execute you're going to be scared you're going to be constantly revved up you're gonna be in a constant state of stress and anxiety versus just following the method that you've adopted and focusing on what price is doing is it still viable in terms of a trade or should you collapse it or maybe take some of the risk off or stick with it because it's now moving in your favor when we look at previous days highs and previous day's lows we want to see the market go up above it and then once it trades to the previous day's high if we're bullish we want to see does it create an optimal trade entry because many times you're going to see this formation formed exactly like I'm gonna show you here okay lots and lots of times do you see this formation form throughout the week and it may not be that particular currency or this currency in this example here Australian versus the dollar it may be in Euro it may be in cable it may be in the Beast pound versus yen it may be the New Zealand dollar it may be in gold it may be in a crypto currency okay it's not limited to just one currency stick to it and always expect it to happen like that when you understand this pattern you can mark out your previous day's highs and lows and if there is a very discernible clear unambiguous directional bias that lends well to one particular currency or two over the other basket of currencies that you follow then that means you've very easily filtered out all the other currencies so now you're going to focus on maybe one or two for that particular day and then wait to see if it trades to and through the previous day's high if it's bullish or below the previous day's low if you're bearish now with these ideas mentioned in general bullet point fashion as I've just given you let's flesh this idea out a little bit and put some lipstick on this pig here okay so we got the vertical delineation here on the sixth and the seventh so between those two vertical lines we have the highest high and the lowest low as I denoted on the chart here previous day's high previous day's low and here's the daily bullish order blocked as I outlined on the daily chart before we move down into a lower timeframe alright so the previous day's high on this particular candle here we have 64 or 45 and three pipettes and in the next candle is the very highest high at 64 or 53 okay so there's our high so think in terms of round numbers and big figures and mid figures okay so essentially this high being 53 even if that's the high what is it really trading around 64 50 mid figure so it's the midpoint between 6400 and 6500 so the mid figure levels are very significant they're important couple that with the fact that this high and this high here are basically relatively the same high above this clear area that would otherwise be viewed as retail resistance traders think that this offered resistance here it offered resistance here and as it starts to break down anyone going short they would feel very comfortable putting a stop loss above these highs because they feel with visual support behind the theory that this is resistance so there's going to be a Bank of orders that reside above this because it's the previous day's high when we're looking at over here and the fact that we have relative equal highs so there's going to be a layer of liquidity above these highs and above the mid figure okay so 6450 which is this black line here and in 10 pips above it which is 64 60 and 10 pips below it is 64 40 so we have a standard deviation of 10 pips now I don't want to make it too complicated but just understand that what I'm showing you here this is about the general rule of thumb you're going to get that seems really technical just know that whenever we have a previous high or previous low how I did this here I would do the same thing around this low here does the low on this candle comes in at 63 78 so we have an institutional level of 80 so if you're again if you're new here zero zero level point eighty or eighty in this case here 50 mid figure and point 20 or 20 in instance for Australian dollars so you have mid figure levels that's very sensitive 80 level zero zero levels now why are these levels important why they significant is because a lot of large fund traders make their orders very easy for processing and they just put them in there at that level a lot of Commerce gets done at those levels too so when there's a global commerce that comes into the marketplace IBM needs to do business in Japan so they have to turn dollars into yen when they put orders in for that transaction it's just easier for the bank to move that into those levels and do the Commerce there so again it that's not important it's nothing that needs to be known or followed or believed in okay to see this work all we're doing is studying a signature in price action that will tend to repeat a lot and this is one of the formations of optimal trade entry and why it forms here ok so again the daily chart we're assuming the previous day's high should be traded - and if it does it should be bullish and look to see higher prices if it goes below the previous day's low that means that we can't be as bullish but we can now study to see if we have a bearish optimal trade entry because the previous day's low has been violated so there's always a study and it's not about hints it's very important write this down and underline it several times and highlight it and draw all kinds of you know annotations around that draw your attention to how important this is it's not about being right or wrong this study is to show you what it looks like every single day and how you're going to go into the chart so when I show these examples again it's just to train your eye to see the thing I'm showing you over and over and over again and you're gonna find that this is exactly what it tends to do in other markets as well it's not just me form fitting it into this one because it looks pretty ok so again the idea is we're looking for the previous day's high on the 6th to be traded - it does here and then we consolidate and retrace a little bit and hang around once it hits that 6450 level which is that black line here it does blow out the previous day's high not by much but it does and then it gyrates down 10 pips are a little bit more than that and picks up more orders what is it doing it's gathering more orders here and then there's a displacement here price starts to create a run up above the previous day's high with a little more meaningful run so the shallow run here gets overtaken here and then price does what it returns back to the 6450 mid figure and consolidates between 64 66 to 450 and what is it doing it's allowing all the orders that was above the previous day's high and around 60 450 an order Bank gets depleted because of the time that's sitting in here now when I say order Bank its it's basically a huge collection of orders that may or may not be in the market place around here but as it sits in here people will start to build a bias or a sentiment about what they think the Australian dollar is going to do in terms of bullishness or bearishness these orders that are accumulated in here are going to build up over time price makes a run above the 64 60 level and it starts to just get up into the 60 470 but it's not important we're looking for price to go to a specific time and a specific price so we're looking at time and price that's what makes optimal trade entry or the ICT optimal trade entry pattern what it is it's not just simply going in there and saying okay every time the price retraces because otherwise that's just Fibonacci trading or ratio trading or harmonic trading yeah I'm saying it everyone's got a name for it okay but what I'm showing you what makes this optimal okay is the fact that it's occurring at a key time of day now not key I'm not teaching you ICT kill zones okay I'm gonna make it very very simple it's specific times a went a window that begins in a window that ends and then we're only focusing during the New York session okay so it's not the New York kill zone it's the New York session so it allows a great deal of flexibility and it allows you also to look for this pattern with specific envelopes in time where it begins and ends if it doesn't occur then you can't do anything with it it may form later on and you'll be like oh I didn't see it then and I didn't take it in so I mad don't be mad you only want something that makes sense and a time where you anticipate it occurring this is discipline this is focusing on a rule-based premise and filing your price action model this is the way professional traders do it they don't get lakhs in their rule rules and say okay well it was good last 12 times I did it but this time of this feel lucky and I'm just going to do things slightly different they don't do that okay generally if you have a model or a trading plan you want to stick to the rules in that way you're not going to be confused when things go awry it's just simply a losing trade and you're not going to be able to avoid every instance of that occurring everyone takes losses I take AUSA's I have lost money okay you're going to lose money you can't avoid it it's absolutely going to happen if you put live money in here you're going to lose money but if you learn how to do this you're gonna see how often this signature becomes very familiar in price action and I'll leave it up to you what that means on an individual basis so price stays around and meanders up and down gyrates until we get to a specific time of the day and this is going to be 8:30 a.m. to 11 o'clock in the morning New York time these are always in New York Times 8:30 New York time to 11 o'clock New York time do not email me why is this time this and not in New York killzone times I'm not teaching mentorship I'm not teaching ICT kill zones I'm teaching you a specific price action model with rule-based ideas and you work with just this okay I'm not reinventing it because my stuff doesn't work anymore okay that's not what I'm doing I'm making a very specific window of time and it's based on New York time so if you want to see the time window I have it set you can see right here this is about having my time setting so this is what you'd look for and then your chart will look like mine is here if you live at different times in a different country then you need to figure out what that time is for you locally and where you live at but this is the time that this pattern tends the form okay now the green shaded area in here is what everyone is familiar with in terms of my pattern the optimal trade entry Osmos trade entry is the 62% tradesman level to the 17% trace on level and the mid point or 70.5 level you can see here and these are the levels that are highlighted okay so everything here is what I have on my fib so these are the that's the levels that you would have for your Fibonacci over here okay are on trading view so that way it's included now they don't change they're not flipping around and I'm not making it fit because I'm gonna have a winner every single day it's not what I'm doing here okay so again all of this gyration is just simply working the bank of orders that come and go around that mid figured level and above the previous day's high now remember earlier I said one of two things are gonna happen when you're bullish and if it trades to the previous day's high one it takes off and it doesn't give you a chance to do anything and you missed an opportunity or it starts to gyrate around the previous day's high okay and you want to know what institutional price level you're working around the closest to it okay so notice what I'm saying closest to the previous day's high in this instance it's sixty four fifty and then you do an envelope of 10 pips above that and 10 pips below it and then you you allow basically price to generate a trading range until we get to this little sweets but in time between 8:30 in the morning why 8:30 for your notes 8:30 there's usually a lot of news that comes out during the New York session okay so the 8:30 news session usually it's like non-farm payroll will come out some other kind of report I don't off the top my head and know what they are and I don't really care to know what they are really because I don't have any real specific affinity for one particular set of data because they always come in and out in terms of what's relevant right now what's the focus right now whereas at the time of this recording employment numbers or the lack of employment is the the main focus right now because everyone's at home or without a job because of the illness that's been spreading so when we get to 8:30 you want to see price try to trade when you're bullish trade down into 62 to 79 percent and tradesmen level on the fib now that is your range determined from the low to the high once this previous day's high is broken if this was a bearish scenario we would just do the opposite of what's being seen here once the low of the previous day's low is broken we would use a short term high - a short term low that would be below the previous stage let when you're bearish but in this instance obviously we're bullish so we want to use a short term low - the short term high so this range is the range prior to the formation of the New York session of 8:30 in the morning New York time - 11 o'clock in the morning New York time why 11 o'clock that's typically around when London close occurs and usually it's also the time when the a.m. session starts to wane in the New York session and early lunch takers you know did leave the marketplace that volume is no longer available and then through noon to 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon that's generally the New York lunch and it can be quiet during those times you only want to be looking for this pattern up to 11 o'clock in the morning after 11 o'clock it can form but it's something other than what I'm teaching here and that's not important the point is is you want to see this pattern form during this time of day with the bias determined by what you determine on your daily chart do you think the previous day's high is gonna be taken out or the previous day's low sticking out and here's the thing the beautiful beautiful thing really is is many times you don't even need a bias you just wait for the chart to show you what it's done does it take out the previous day's high or the previous day's low at this time of day what has it done well the here's the midnight in New York and during the London session it created a run higher so there's been a lot of buying taking place to get above the previous day's high does it create an optimal trade entry so the low to the high that's what I have the FIB drawing on even though it's drugged-out to here that way you can see all the levels how they line up nicely with time so we have two components here we have the element of time and we have the element of price so price is the level determined by the fib relative to its high and low of that range time is static this is always static it does not change it does not deviate it's 8:30 in the morning New York time till 11 o'clock it does not change so the easy way to do that is simply just get a horizontal I'm sorry vertical line and put it at these specific times if you do that you know in between these two vertical lines you don't need to have a guess as to when something's going to form you know when when price enters this area between the first vertical line up to the second vertical line you're anticipating an optimal trade entry to form so that's the expectation that you'll have by having your vertical lines on there so you don't right now have a whole lot of business on this chart but you can see clearly that this is what the time element would be to this pattern price is always going to be between 62% adjacent level and the 70 percent tracing level which is 79 here and 62 is just underneath that 50 level okay so 64 50 is this black line here so it cleans it up a little bit okay as you can see sixty to seventy nine and seventy point five which is the sweet spot or off the Metro entry okay when price drops down into this level you can be a buyer on paper or demo and I'm not going to say beyond that because I'm not licensed to do that but we're studying price action and you could be a buyer here with the expectation that we would see it expand now I'll get up to here and talk about these levels in a minute but right now this low is where your stop would have to be below that okay so the lowest candle what we're anchoring the fill on the low is sixty four thirty four and seven fifths so you can do a stop at sixty four thirty okay so here's your stop 6430 darker colors in here you can see so your stop could be at sixty four thirty so your stop could be at sixty four thirty your entry could be at the sixty two percent tradesman level is sixty four forty nine and seven pipettes so basically we could just simply say if it traces 6450 you can be a buyer okay because you're going to look for the institutional level and the lower you get down into the seven wonders of the treatment level the less likely you're going to get your fill because if you demand seventy traitement level here you may or may not get that with the spread okay so what I like to use is a 60% Racing level and it may be factored in the spread there but if you're using 62 generally it's a little bit more forgiving because you don't need to add always in mines in my experience using 60% traits on level you can absolutely get it because you're going to dip even further generally into the 70 and a half and sometimes it iseven on certain traits of level but that's our range price and then this is our time window so the fact that we're looking at this specific area if we use a limit order at 62% racing level if it trades below that you're filled your stop would be placed here and then using the fib levels point 50 or 0.5 negative 0.5 rather this is an area where you take first profit if it allows you if it allows you 15 pips or more okay so there's your rules you want to take 15 pips at first scalp exit at the negative 0.5 level and then the negative one level which would be one standard deviation of the range that you calculate for your fib so know what you're drawing your low to your high here that range here if it's duplicated and basically projected higher a measured move of that would be this level up here now since we have that since it's suggesting here in the fib it's 0.65 one three and five pipettes we want the highest degree of probability for our Global's for scaling and taking profits this would be an area where we can take profits again so first scaling would be here at negative 0.5 but the minimum expectation is 15 pips so you have to be able to get 15 pips you can't get 15 pips here but you can get it here or more then this is where you would take first profit okay here it's just one level where we'd expect it in this instance here we can see at 60 450 or so getting out at 60 493 that's 43 pips almost more 43 pips a potential profit at first scaling the next level up here would be 65 13 and 5 but it may not get to these levels again Fibonacci is not the answer to everything in the marketplace even though this is giving you a general rule principle and in theory and it's going to get you very very close to some really sweet setups do not demand that the price reaches to these levels for your targets and what I do this is how I teach my students as well if this is the Fed level that we're looking for okay in other words if your calculations suggest that this is what the range level for negative 1 would be on the projection 6 5 1 0 is the nearest 10 level without getting up to that level so what we're doing is we're rounding down to the next 10 level okay so wherever this level would be say it was 15 it would still be six five one zero for me so I'll be looking to take profit or scaling out here if this level was at 15 or more pips this would be my first scaling from my entry down here at 6450 so 6450 it was my limit entry for general principles and the stop would be 64 30 so it's a 20 pips top and again forget risk to reward we're not teaching that don't think it has to be three to one it has to be by the one you know if it's one the one it's still good in my opinion it's good because if you have a setup that repeats over and over and over again very frequently I understand and accept the fact I'm not going to be a winner on every single trade I'm going to take losses but if I have a system that doesn't require me to spend a lot of money when I'm losing but I do have a high frequency of accuracy and if you look at this you'll determine if this does or doesn't have a lot of accuracy but nonetheless by looking at and studying in with this logic behind it it's not the FIB that's creating it the logic is we've traded above the previous day's high in a relatively bullish scenario so we're lending well on this example for bias but it doesn't require bias if you blow out the previous day's high or blow up the previous day's low you still look for these general theories to pan out and again it's not about right or wrong you're not supposed to be taking live trades with this I'm not enticing you to take trades with this I'm teaching you how to read the tape how to read the price action and forecast setups that will repeat if you know what you're looking for so first profit here we could take obviously at 93 an 8 bit bets that's 40 plus pips so that definitely will meet the minimum criteria 15 pips before first scaling and then you can get another scaling out at 65 10 which is rounded down to from the FIB level here it can hit this fib level or it can go through it a little bit more and that's fine this is where you would take your next level of profit taking if you can get first scaling where it's 15 pips or more you want to start reducing your your risk on your stop to about mid point of the range that you identified here because if it comes back down into that it's generally not a good idea to hold on to the tree and let let it stop you out you've taken something on that partial and then you reduced your risk and then if it comes back down stops yeah you've taken something off the bone you got a bite of flesh and if it comes back down you didn't get stopped at what a loss that's in theory what we're saying here and if it gets second scaling if you ever get a second scaling you have to be above your entry point at least 2 or 3 pips and just let it go ok so that way you've gotten 2 pieces of meat off the bone and now you're in a position where your stop should in theory protect you from taking a loss on the remaining balance it does not mean you can't take a loss because you can because as long as the trades open you are inviting risk and the market can always get down or above your stop-loss and that's life okay and a lot of people don't realize that they're listening to people online my stops gonna do my job nope not always it's just that's the best-case scenario and something is the best case scenario doesn't work out so we can see how price eventually makes a run up into sixty five ten right there it gets us a nice little opportunity to scale off 10 pips I'm sorry sixty five ten which is three and a half pips below where the FIB projected to but that does not mean collapse the trade okay it doesn't mean get out of the trade leave a little bit on so the again the assumption is when your paper trading this or if your demo trading it you want to use a lot size that allows you to have multiple in my case I like to look for a leverage that allows me to take three partials and then give me something to let run that means I can get four stages of scaling out of that position not all positions will allow me to do that and here's the thing if it doesn't let me do that I don't take that trade so I've given you something bonus in here where it helps me determine with a decision based approaches process and and protocols that leads to me getting into a trade there's lots of times I see moves coming and I can see them for me I can see exactly when they're going to turn and exactly where they're likely to go but I'm not in them because they don't meet all the criteria that I demand of my setups so there's nothing wrong with being very very dependent on your rules and only executing in that it's actually a good thing it builds discipline it builds maturity as a trader and you will not be shaken by a lot of the things that a trader that doesn't have rule-based ideas that sticks to them very rigid will they will generally be encountering a lot more stress anxiety because they're always guessing as to what they should be doing versus this is what I'm doing this is the time of day I'm doing it and I'm looking for it to go along I'm looking for it to go short if it doesn't fit the criteria you don't do anything and you let it go and you'll see over weeks time doing that you'll in theory protect yourself and taking from taking more and more risk than you're supposed to or should and you're gonna be working towards a perception of price action that is going to be appreciated by you and your bottom line and your results will show that but again you're going to take losses you're going to get it wrong this is not a magic recipe for always winning trading okay it's just something to start with it's rule-based and you stick with it come hell or high water you do this for weeks and you see if it pans out and shows any kind of merit and I promise you if you do this you're going to see it so the market comes up to that 65 10 level has a reaction retraces back down into some old order flow and we want to keep something in and we want to keep a leader in the water see if we can catch a runner and the fib will hopefully give us another level of importance and if you scrunch it down okay we have 65 52 and 9 pit bets okay so that's the next level which would be this range two times that's one of it here and then the second one here so this is two standard deviations this level in here generally if for day trading if they ever get an explosive move I want to be out at this point here and I'm content with if it runs more I don't care I'm not a long-term position trader and it could continue for six months and everybody can say yeah but you missed this IT ICT and it's I'm not interested I could care less I want consistency I want continuity and I want the ability to be able to see these things repeat over and over and over again trades okay for a neophyte or mysterious they sneak up on them they surprise I'm like well we'll just happen you ever noticed that when you get online and you see people on Twitter Instagram whatever okay yeah any of these chatroom things these these trade rooms they're all like surprised whoa what happened with the so-and-so and now they're only interested in that pair or that Marcus it moved you are not going to be surprised you're going to be anticipating okay you're gonna be anticipating and by anticipating things occurring around a specific time of day around a rule-based idea and a pattern that you're familiar with and seeing over and over again now let's go back to that analogy about buying a car that you have a lot of affinity for it's a sports car or it's a luxury car you like this car you can't imagine being anything else but the driver of that car and you buy it you bring it home remember generally when you look around very soon after taking it home you will start seeing that car more because you have activated your filter in your your attention to elect to let these cars get your attention okay and that's what you're doing you're teaching yourself to see this pattern over and over and over again in price action and by default what happens is when you start seeing it form live with everything on your chart annotating at the time of day what you're anticipating in terms of the direction that it's supposed to expand up or down relative to the market being bullish or bearish relative to it running the previous day's high or low you will see the pattern form live and you'll know what it looks like and you'll trust what you have practiced in hindsight weeks and months of it and now when you watch price action live it'll be like I see it it's right there and you won't be surprised you won't be taken back like wow where did that this come from price is algorithmic it repeats every single day on elements of time and price it does not work on magic Fibonacci the Fibonacci is just a way for me to frame the context they'll use this pattern okay I didn't reinvent Fibonacci I'm not trying to clean clean the 3/4 pullback of a Fibonacci is mine the logic of using the fib with time and the element of market structure that's me that's mine that's why it's called optimal trade entry OTE is just an abbreviation of those three words what makes it optimal is it's occurring at a time of day when the market will likely spool and spread out in one particular direction over the other so it's more inclined to go higher or lower relative to the things that I'm showing you here all right so anyway so we have two opportunities here for scaling one two and this is the target where you would want to get out at the market trading right now it's just about midpoint of that and here now you can use this midpoint which I don't have a fib if you want to add a fib for that level it would be negative one point zero and that would give you a line right in here I just don't care to have it in this point where the market is running you want to have your stop-loss below some point of support or structure that would yes make your stop be part of a pool of sell-side liquidity or where the bank of cell stops would be but you have already in theory taken one two portions of profit out and your stop would just be above breakeven so you want to look at where you are in terms of the current market structure we had a run here and retraced and then rallied up multiple terms lower so you traced multiple times I like the idea of moving the stock below here not below here okay not below here why because this one we already had a run below these lows here and then we broke two new highs we had a retracement to this low and a retracement to this love which is basically the relative equal lows so it could still get below here it could break down hit that and still go higher longer-term and I would miss out on that move just trying to choke the trade with a really really tight stop-loss which is not advisable so we have this low that's much more appropriate for trailing a stop loss and not jamming it up too tight and not giving the the market room to breathe especially because we're tracing this on a five-minute chart so the idea again is we're looking for day trades and not hold this thing for four weeks not even for multiple days but this is how you would manage your trade so if all this occurred inside of the same trading day or seen a few hours say it move say all this movement here occurred in a little bit less time the same thing I'm showing you here in terms of when you would move your stop would be the same thing this is we have a reaction and we have to higher reactions you don't want to put your stop loss at the nearest area where stops would be everybody else has their stop-loss full of this low or here mine would be down here and I already banked two positions or two scalings okay so if it gets to sixty five fifty and nine pit bets you would collapse the entire trade and be done and be content with that so you would be super basic aliy be getting around 100 pips movement from this particular trade with three partials or the final collapse here now if this level was higher up okay so no words if you weren't getting this range here and it allowed for a hundred pips but 100 pips occurs before the two standard deviations of the initial range that creates your fib so this is your range this is one standard deviation of it here and in the other standard deviation would be here if this level is above a hundred pips okay in other words if this range here was like 65 62 9 okay that would be a hundred and ten pips from your entry you would take a partial at a hundred pips flat simply just take a hundred pips Bank something there as well so there's your rules it's very simple those rules I've given you if you'd missed it if you weren't really taking those go back and watch the video again and listen very carefully to I gave you very specific criteria about when to move a stop what entry price you would look for where your stop loss would be and where you take partials and when you graduate that stop and what you avoid doing when moving the stop not trying to choke they trade out by having stoploss you right under here or right under here or because this looks like it's support you know there you put your stop-loss there there's a lot of people in sin this perry now they have cell stops right below here they may have been lucky they went along here maybe they went in here or they bought here and just rode it out because they only just tough loss but now they want to put a stop loss in their thinking here okay so i use market structure to help me manage a trade and market structure you can learn that it's on my youtube channel as well but this low here i want to put my stock at this low and not something ultra super tight because just normal gyrations okay or quick sudden retracement lower and still be viable for the trade going higher would knock you out prematurely and you would miss the opportunity of allowing yourself taking out 100 pips or where the second standard deviation would be for your ultimate target right so hopefully you guys got something from this I'll try to give you something every single day it will not be this in-depth okay so the rules have been applied and shared with you in this video and I'll always refer back to this video when there's any discussion about when stops are moved how you take partials and what the general principle of this pattern is okay it'll be a five minute or less many times that are probably less than four minutes because this is going to be me saying okay here's your chart these are the levels and here's what it looks like it'll be just all the annotation on the chart and it'll be me saying take care god bless and good luck with your trading and with that I'm going to close this one and do that very thing which good luck and good trading
