Trading Strategy and Concepts

how's everybody doing today hope this video finds you well um within my group of Traders or community of Traders whatever you want to call it been getting some questions recently um about the way that I trade trades that I've taken um and so I just want to go ahead and try and make some videos do the best that I can um because I've never you know made videos or anything informative like this before but wanted to give it a shot try my best um and try and help some people out also be able to hold myself accountable um and try and make myself better and be able to give more informative videos and um you know I've had one friend also push me to make some videos uh and yeah just wanted to give it a shot and you know try and help as many people that I could um but you know especially now that I'm confident in the market um you know go off my own ideas you know don't go off any what anybody else says just particularly look at what I'm seeing and um there's one other person I'll talk to but you know that you know we're colleagues we talk back and forth so you know that's that's to be expected with you know people you learn from and you know you should be able to have somebody that you know sees the same thing that you see and you know sometimes you can share ideas back and forth but anyway today I wanted to go over some trades that I've taken um um as well as the basics of turtle souping which is the way I trade um I won't necessarily be going over draw on liquidity today but you know with order flow and pretty much Turtle souping it's the start of a reversal um to the draw on liquidity um and you know if you see where liquidity is being induced where liquidity is engineered um you know eventually having that that I is not the hardest thing in the world um you know becoming the hard or personally for me becoming the hard thing is executing um to Perfection like I want to do um upon those trades and upon those ideas and um stuff like that but yeah so that's what this video is going to be is mainly the the basics uh just just the Simplicity of turtle soupy not the basics of ICT um you know we're not going to be going over what a fair value Gap is or any any stuff like that uh but you know if you understand ICT you know like a many people do nowadays uh a lot of these terms and some of this should be pretty simple to you um and if it's not you know you can put questions below or you know I have a playlist of the the basics uh you know uh even stuff down to you know baby Pips I have a playlist of but we're going to go ahead and get into the the high time frame uh you can call it swing tray in day or not int day but just a normal I don't know whatever you want to call it I'm not too particular about terms cuz it's it's all the same you know we're just trading um but uh you know certain terms are particular obviously uh but you know for whatever calling it that it doesn't really matter um but yeah this is our trade you know we have the sweep of the cell side level into our key level um we react wait for a reaction get in form a breaker here some people say oh you know this is our breaker you know we're going to go lower now but we see things a little bit differently um that's our breaker here our true breaker our you know some say you have to have an smt to have a true true breaker but uh all just depends with the order flow and exactly where we are uh cuz you know at the same for the same trade you know we could have been looking for inq to smt down here while uh you know es is coming back to the the wick or the order block or whatever blah blah blah but um off the reaction we got from my key level you know which we'll show here in a second uh got a breaker we react back to the order block and we go ahead and finish our uh Market maker model um and you know may continue to take this High uh we'll see we'll see what happens um but yeah we're going to go to the Chart see what we're seeing you know do like we do go from our highest time frame down to lowest time frame uh we're not going to go over the monthly or weekly we're just mainly going to go over the daily what we're seeing there um and you know go from there uh weekly we can get into you know days of the week and uh you know weekly profiles and stuff like that and uh you know we can make a whole video on you know that alone so we're just going to stick to the basics here and you know just go from there um so we're going to back out here and go to our daily time frame and see that we have a range or an accumulation all right where and what is our range so we see here have this breakup and we have a kind of couple candles we don't really you know we have a wick above here which you know could be seen as a bearish turtle suit but depending on how you want to see order flow and you know how big of a risk you're willing to take in the market you know this is the trades we take or I say we this is the trades that I'll take versus you know trying to short the short the top when you know there there could be a reason to could not be a reason to uh you know this really wasn't a terrible Turtle suit um you know some people taken it or some people took it uh you know myself I didn't really short for you know something like I did with the trade that I did here um but you know in day and you know uh short scalps you know we were you know taking these down um but anyway anyway just diging to the basics with order flow and you know draw on liquidity um I'm not going to teach something like that when you know this is more of a you know textbook turtle soup so we're going to slide this over here one so we have the top of our accumulation top of our range low of our range here um so from there we see our range we see our sweep this come back into 50% of the range and then just kind of chopping up and down all right we come down break below and close below into the daily fair value Gap all right so we'll mark that out we're going to mark from the bottom of this Wick here because we have a candle close here some people like to Mark here what we're going to do is go back to our go back to what we normally have it as and what I like to do make the chart a little bit cleaner so you're coming over here setting Our Fair Value Gap we've already you can say mitigated this part of the fair value Gap and looking for the sweep into here and then this is going to be our pus here so we can see the top of our Wick we're going to leave this area marked because you obviously this is our fair value G up here but you our range is also within that area so just no not really a key area um so obviously we have an expanding Market Market stops we start ranging accumulating whatever you want to call it break below into our key area and you know what we call dumb money is looking for sales here all right what smart money is doing is pairing those sell orders with you know their buy orders okay smart moneyy is going to be pairing their buy orders with dumb monies sell stops okay can I go down to the 4 Hour see that we're coming into what's also going to be a fair value Gap here we have the BPR so whatever you can mark it like this this whatever we're going to keep it as the daily fair value cap um obviously that wasn't perfectly straight whatever um but I'm not going to be don't ever order blocks break your blocks blah blah blah blah blah blah um but from our 4our you know we have a long Wick long Wick can be good be bad with workflow depends but sometimes we like to see Wicks because wigs will get filled all the way to and through obviously you have these two long wigs right here and safe to say we filled them two and through um we'll seeing uh my my trade here that comes up next um just a simple Asia scalp um a lot of people don't even look at the Asia aser session but um I know something about it you know holding for 40 minutes to make you know $2 can't beat it um but anyway going to go back to the 2our is which where we saw the trade and what I have marked out here is the order block or it's the lower time frame order block but anyway the the we have the vi marked here as well as the 1 hour order block okay so obviously you can try and guess the bottom you know keep setting a cell stop I mean uh or yeah sell stop but that's just stupid okay you can wait for confirmation and have a way higher win rate have a I mean you know just as good RR um and you know just be even more safe and keep yourself safe within the market cuz you know if you put your money trying to long this Wick if you put your money in there the Market's going to take it um so it's definitely a key takeaway with it is you know low time frame it it might just you know do like this and Blast away from it within the hour that could be within 15 minutes um you know but that's where whatever you want to call it fomo kicks in that psychology kicks in whatever um you know you keep your trading plan in place cuz you know it's fine to come above this high and then retrace back down that's how we engineer liquidity that's how we you know get tra people in certain positions and you know just that's how we have dumb money um one second going to take a drink here okay so 4our time frame we had a closure within our Wick um some we'll call this rejection Block it's not the perfect rejection block um technically I like the daily rejection block uh some people will label rejection blocks wrong and it can you know can can can really hinder you um it's very probable um to mistake a High a high probability PDA and a high probability turtle soup cuz you're too zoomed in on the one minute or the 5 minute even the 15 second um you know it's perfect to trade the 15 second you know if you're in right here on the wick and um you know the the smt is looking perfect time of day is perfect even the second you're in the trade is perfect um if it all aligns it all aligns um especially on that 15 second which is I'm not going to be teaching you know to use new Eternal souping because you simply don't need to be on it um but yeah uh got to get back down to the 2hour or the 1 hour excuse me so on the 2hour and the 1 hour we have a VI 1 hour or block going to go down to the 15 minute here and um I can't remember exactly which candle I got in on but may have been this one um it was probably somewhere you know we're not going to make it perfect uh you know I'm not going to be you know say I was in down here you know there's screenshots of it and where exactly my f was but um yeah we're we can just say we're you know we have our order block here bam and we're say we're in go down to the five minute just to just to be precise all right we have our Breakaway Gap here BPR come down form this and I'm probably in here on the order block okay somewhere we'll say in the fair value Gap because I think that's quite close to where it would be at um and this is when it you know doesn't even become Turtle souping but it becomes more of trading regular but you're still also in the high time frame turtle soup which makes everything High more high probability you know you're also at the the the at the reversal which can be super scary for some people but you know if you're reading orderflow correctly um there's no reason for us to go lower um so even if you're in on the the breaker or the you know the fair value Gap order block whatever you want to call it um you know in here we'll just keep the Box um you know Friday and chop around a little bit C down stops below here let's go back to the picture just to make sure don't think I put my stop loss on here well that's unfortunate anyway we'll just say stop below this low because it's our order block candle oops okay thought I had a template save to be honest with you okay sorry about that but now we go back down to the 1 hour we breake up breaker and with the Keen ey you can uh go ahead and see what we're forming here after we react from the the um order block and almost create a you know soup here just depends how you want to look at break below you know an order block high probability technically not really but you know leaves a fair value Gap into the key level order block you react off the order block inversion blah blah blah breaker come back into the candle close and then we're off um and and how do we react you know so heavily because within the longer range than the you know whatever bigger range whatever you want to call it where's our PDA right at OT miss it maybe by a little bit but 10 depends how you want to put you know your ranges if you want to put them at Candle clothes which I've seen some people do you know you react perfectly off of it um you know uh keep an eye on your your OT entries um you know a lot of people don't you know say otd that often but you know it's very important um also with this turtle soup here we have um an smt uh smt Divergence but yeah just going to say smt um and uh if we want to pull that up over here show you that and even this also level down here which Lev is I'm pretty sure it's this L yes it's going to be the Friday yep smt here and we in sync here well actually we ar in sync I'm pretty sure we had an smt here could be wrong but I'm pretty sure with this candle in the vi which is also an inlog which is a new week opening Gap um we have an smt as well so this is all confirmation that we're going to go higher um and um don't you know not to State the obvious um obviously you're not going to catch every High time frame Turtle sup but you can easily easily have a good bias a good weekly bias down to a daily bias to a 4 Hour 1 hour bias have all your time frames alignment or have all your time frames aligning and I mean just bang out a trade um we're going to show how this uh opens could have worked perfectly for that into the smt um I'm going to pull this back up over here so I can see perfectly where it's at this back over here yeah perfect so just like I thought we had a smt into the inlog after a you know High time frame smt um we have here do all time frames align as well as their smt we have a high time frame PDA into a high time frame smt right with an order flow a breaker come back down to react off the order block Wick rejection block whatever you want to call it and also the key to the coming back to the rejection block is we didn't do it you know uh like this rejection block couple candles later and oh we're in the the wick but it's going to get filled too and maybe through just depends um with the smt but you know not not here to just State the obvious so we're going to keep going up but you know it's always how high um I'm not here to catch a top catch a bottom uh do all that um don't I don't really care about all that um you know I'm here to trade first and just trade what I see and you know I'm also here to make videos uh now just to try and help people but you know that's not as important because you know I'm trading first uh you know that's my main goal um should everybody's be if you know you're coming to do this should be your goal to be the best Trader and okay um yeah uh don't mean to be unorganized kind of you know keeping keep in mind it's first video ever so not trying to Yap or just go on and on and on but trying my best to stay on topic and you know go through a certain amount of things I have listed um but yeah uh want to go back over to the the ranges and the accumulation uh because we you can see here we have a lot of you know smaller ranges um within the bigger range um and these these accumulation ranges can turn into Market maker models or you know also just see you know when we sweep the Range High you know come back to 50% of the range and then the range low um and then as you see here we go through the range flow back to 50% and then and you know right back to the Range High um you know it's just rinse and repeat rinse repeat rinse repeat um just don't get trapped on the wrong side uh no uh so you see here rain High Sweet 50% somewhere right here probably PDA but then you know we Break It come back into it with this long Wick and probably I think we smt at this low right here um with this candle as well and we smt at this low as well uh and honestly with this range being already created we come in we smt at this low um close within the wick bam form a pretty good toour rejection block leave a fair value Gap also create an order block closure of wickless green candle up create equal highs kind of just chop around and then we go higher okay we don't break this High see if we might have smt at the high because I don't have this one marked out yep we go ahead and smt into uh looks like a BPR actually the breaker so we'll go ahead and pull this up and show it to you and it's going to be the it's going to be the March 24th high or the fifth High s smt here into the breaker then we continue lower so you know with certain uh trades you don't always want to expect to take a buy side or sell side level depending on what time it is or just certain you know more basic levels than just the turtle soup and you know we're not going to go into getting out at certain mitigation levels and you know such just like this you sweep and then react to an order block you know you would love to be out below this low and then get back in here um instead of holding through all that um but that also goes with order flow cuz you know we're shorting and then look how fast we you know go up and St up down um but obviously with us being at alltime highs uh you know we're taking the stairs up um higher time for him right now cuz this is this is just chopping around and we're going to hopefully take the elevator down soon and I'll be on the be on that ride um but yeah um Range High 50% range low okay so then we can even break this down into a a smaller time frame I want to do I'm going do one that's really obvious I'm just going to mark all of them try and help yall out bit kind of just see exactly what I'm seeing probably be more obvious it's little more obvious but anyway um I don't want to say we can almost guarantee that we smt this but this is going to be the March 14th wow I mean seriously come on just been yapping I mean it's once you see it you see it actually marked that wrong okay so you know es being the stronger pair we smt to the upside with es smt to the downside with inq you know put that in your notes um and just just note that uh with it's you know it's not going to be all the time but just with the market we've been seeing um you know es is broken alltime highs I mean you know a couple times now um looks like it just keeps going and uh in Cube obviously looks like it wants to range um but with with that being said and every candle being arranged we have our 4our swe to the low come back up smt at the high which would then be our Turtle suit continuation back into reversal um I'm not going to get into Breakers uh or breaker deviations which you're going to see in the trade coming up here in just a second but um can also guarantee some of these are at a four deviation or two and a half deviation uh just depending what specific breaker and um you know what time frame you're on as well uh so um oh yeah I'm sorry if I'm like I said sorry if I'm unorganized but we have our accumulation accumulation accumulation bam accumulation lag I know it's below this accumulation which not typically what you see in a market maker model but we also have our breaker higher we're with order flow High T High time frame PD array High time frame has more value than the low time frame low resistance liquidity bam and uh you know see what see what we can do here see if we can break this High um also with this we technically if you want to go into a little bit of time but it's nothing too serious uh just go back so we can go the time frame so we see during London London open we're just ranging within the range we sweep this High break to this low respond to this order block and then sweep um the asure range into probably an smt into this what looks to be probably a 5 minute or 15 minute fair value Gap so you see we're in bearish order flow shortterm shortterm bearish long-term bullish come into pre-market we have our accumulation manipulate down and you know hindsight you can say accumulation manipulation but whatever um we're just going to go what we see uh chomping we're chopping we'll go to a five minute here low resistance liquidity so probably going to take it out with the most obvious fair value capap being here and then here okay and these low these low time frame ver Val gaps technically don't matter to me as much because we have the inog right here as well as some equal loads okay so we see how we react open candle which is a open low see which candle it is probably a 4our open low y anyway open low high close so going into pre-market you have a run up right before open we drop sweep the pre-market low into our key level see how we didn't hit it and the inog down here okay and I'm pretty sure this is marked previous day low uh first Tuesday yeah which would be for oh yeah glad that updates um so yeah we sweep previous day low as well um which if you don't know your your highs you know your your previous day highs lows liquidity levels um you know I would start noting that uh see how that can affect your draw and um yeah just even a closure above previous daily close or you know close under so we have our order block candle see what looks better here 15 or five we'll go with just a five minute sweep the low at 9:30 open have a breaker up after the order block come back respond to the or block and what would have been even better if let's see let's just see real quick oh I'm dumb as hell of course we have the smt all right anyway so we have our smt as well and then on probably on the one minute we may have had es taking a low or ym um but you know that it's it it doesn't have to take the low okay obvious fair value Gap you know I should have Mark that beforehand it said turtle soup that damn whatever whatever um but we're in here on the order block anyway we have a confirmation start ranging have our range high range low sweep range low okay not going to buy um sweep range low buy right here you can even get out here just to just to scalp intraday and you know you get in Wake out and you're out okay and that's a simple you know you have your stop below this low or just below the fair value G or the breaker so you'd also be in at the order Bo you can pyramid here dump some of your contracts and just hold until we you know clean out this Market maker model right here sorry going fast with that I just not noticed that we also have the accumulation manipulation distribution which is a double manipulation cycle because this distribution down is a manipulation some some people like to call it a power of five whatever you want to call it you now have your breaker and and uh you know if it wasn't hindsight I can guarantee we' run this High uh but you know as you know we're going to you can even pyramid in here uh which should be a decent entry and there's that eye um obviously it's Tuesday so you have your manipulation day of the weekly cycle Tuesday low of week all right just going to close this whatever um and then we have more if you see the higher time frame then the low resistance equal HS blah blah blah which is that previous day high and you yourself caught the whole day range oh we can get in here oh went into the next day whatever we already know how the day reacts does it break that L I think we have some there we'll get there any day now you see the equal are building low resistance and see even now I know we're not going to rate this the slow resistance going switch to the 15 awesome oh we might probably smt here or like we said build low resistance liquidity I don't like seeing equal lows but it plays out oh I forgot fomc was this week all right it's just open had a big open but forgot smt was or fomc was then I forgot what TR whatever it doesn't matter because trying to guess hindsight but not really hindsight but just showing you orderflow and low assistance blah blah blah with the market maker models um me can call it hindsight I've I took some of these trades live I'm not going to pull all the screenshots out of my butt to you know prove something it doesn't really matter um you know all all that stuff doesn't matter I'm just trying to show you to you know help you get more keen of an eye to what I'm seeing and what a lot of the turtle soup Traders are um we're going to go into the trade Recaps now or the the second trade recap excuse me okay so if you haven't fallen asleep yet uh we're going to go over you know this trade this is a pretty quick one and then um we'll show the other one uh pretty quickly as well uh just so this hopefully doesn't make it over an hour but it doesn't really matter um so I have all this listed uh this isn't like talking about here it's talking about this one Wick um you'll see in the next video exactly what I'm talking about with that but what we do have um after this was another smt so we have an smt breaker which is a high probable breaker um after sweep of a buy side level but not a real sweep this is a fake obviously to induce um you know liquidity and engineer liquidity why I got in again um so we have our breaker deviation to 2 and A2 this is breaker deviation class uh sorry if that was loud but this isn't breaker deviation class but uh two to 2 and a half is uh reversal Zone as well as you know if you want to say three and a half to four whatever I just use four specifically um because you know if it gets to three and a half it hits four uh but we're just going to uh you know we also had an order block here or excuse me this order but we stab right into this this candle followed almost by a wickless green candle um you know I'm not going to go over you know the super sauce behind that but you know just pay attention to your wickless uh candles um obviously during Asia session it's going to be more wickless candles but like this and you know even like this but you know we get in on the smt watching Es at the same time come up create our order block come back into the order block build the long way two and through and you know kick our feet back and wait for by side to hit uh got lucky here so we didn't have to wait an hour in session but y there we go pretty simple I know it kind of went fast but you know we see our water block come back suit this candle low into the water block do almost the same thing but I have a wickless green candle inverse all this be the Wake two and through inverse straight to the one deviation whatever you want to call it um that was sarcasm cuz it's just a side level uh you know STDs aren't the Holy Grail but they're they're good um you know that's the you know the only STDs we like are standard deviations uh but yeah let that play out one more time and then we're going to go ahead and go into the next one uh this one should shouldn't be it's not as short but uh yeah I won't bore you to death with it all right and here's the second trade um this was you saw the executions before just before the previous trade um during the Asia session or technically 1041 so some people call I don't know what some people call it but I call it the Asia session um but yeah we're going to let this one play out as you can see I got in a bit early um you know reacting off this order block uh you know right here uh it's kind of kind of hard to see that's what sucks about Asia session but sometimes it's just obvious so I'll hop on cuz I'm don't want to say bored but yeah um anyway I have a smt at the low that I'm pretty confident about because how uh es is moving have a VI as well volume IM balance followed by a wickless green candle en closure within you know our uh candle that we made the S&T with okay we have a breaker I did Mark this to stay unfilled which we see comes back and gets filled but you know coming from a BPR uh BPR breaker unicorn whatever you want to call it uh it's not not super uh low probable to not leave one um especially with this being here um you know inverses will turn into well I'm not going to say that sounds dumb uh but yeah you know we'll either have an inverse or BPR form here and you know if we break away from it you know it confirms it's a VPR and a breakaway Gap um but as you see here is then when we have our smt not high probability and why is that because we didn't sweep the buy side level um and I know we're on the just the the low time frame but especially in an as session but um yeah you'll see here it was not a high probability one and we get back 10 seconds marker our Turtle sweep entry into the volume fair value G um and like I was trying to Mark uh wherever it was with the you know the Breakaway cap we have it right here as we accelerate to the buy side level and we see wicks in order flow get build to and through um yeah and then we'll go to our last thing which is just you know some notes I have for the basics smt warrants reversal okay went over that as well um we'll go more into the the smts and you know even SS smts uh but you know I think it's you know good good stopping point for one video I hope I didn't miss anything I wanted to go over um you know kind of have it put to where it is now so I think I'm just going to post what we have and hopefully uh you know I don't disappoint myself watching it back and you know editing out the small little dumb parts or just want to start a stutter um I want to say sorry again for the unprofessionalism I'll get better as you know I make a couple more videos and just get the grind in and the work in of doing it um and then for order pairing just for bullish circumstances you can flip for bearish uh smart money will pair their buy orders with dumb money mes sell stops so you know they sell below all the lows you know to see as a you know breakout or you know s or buy below or excuse me buy Above old highs as a breakout or sell below old lows is a breakdown or breakout whatever you want to call it um also another key note is that liquidity is engineered through failure swings and tracs after smart money smart money's orders are paired excuse me and then after your initial turtle soup you don't just have to try and catch the bottom as we saw with my trades you know you're not not catching the bottom uh every time you know I have a couple trades where doesn't bottom tick I'm not worried about bottom ticking I'm worried about having a plan making sure my plan stays where I'm comfortable with and stays you know stays within the lines and parameters of my plan and my trading plan and my rules um as long as it does that you know that's all I'm really worried about uh you know I can go a couple hundred doar and draw down um and be perfectly fine um you know that's just the psychology you need to to trade you don't want to worry about making back loosers you just want to worry about trading the chart trading your p not trading your p&l strictly trading the chart um because when you start to trade your p&l is you know when you get stuck in a cycle of you know trying to make back your winners and then you're at break even after two trades and you know if you lose one and win one you know you should be in profit you know if you're one in one you know unless you have a one to one RR uh which I don't aim for uh you know I just don't I think that's a good idea um and not to say that you can't have a one you know one to one R and have a you know a great you know win record and you know uh you know just take only good trades you know I've seen that happen um but you know just how I like to trade normally is you know simple turtle souping um you know you can wait for confirmation you know the confirmation be your high time or high time frame PW array uh which a lot of people see as crazy but that's you know that's the confirmation is sweeping that low like we uh went into with the the daily PD array um and sweeping lows and forming the daily rejection block into the 1 hour and 4our Order blocks and so on um and kind of a sneak peek into the next episodes and more deep into turtle souping um and kind of just into what we were talking about with our accumulation ranges and Market maker models um that every candle is a range um and time is fractal as well so you know just how we were seeing those those 4H hour accumulation ranges turns into 15minute accumulation ranges we sweep the highs of and you know then run to 50% range high range 50% range low um and just as well as time is fractal time is very important to your turtle soups just how we slightly went over in the uh Market open uh smt soup are may have been a smt but I'm pretty sure yeah it was into the inw walk um responding from the 1hour order block as well so that trade just shows uh you know how we can create an open chudah swing into into an inog into PD Ray with an smt and I mean you have no other option but to buy low cuz what else are you going to do um but yeah really hope you enjoyed the video if you watched it all the way through uh I don't know you can comment uh I don't know I love turtle soup in the comment section but I guarantee probably nobody will make it here because it is a long ass video and I you know I am just one random person but you know if you uh did get some information from this video I hope you did enjoy and I hope you come back for the next one um I will try to you know also not Yap as much and you know just get just become you know a better video recorder uh ICT yep so I know y'all don't need uh you know another just person that sits here and just talks and talks and talks but you know try to make all my talking points informational and you know something that's relatable and something that's easy to pick up and understand um but yeah that that's going to be it for the video um hope everybody has a great night great week great month um and I hope you enjoyed thank you
