have a question um more than happy to answer it so let me go ahead and share my screen real quick and let me know if you guys can see my screen you should be seeing in my f book can y'all see my screen yes okay all right cool so I'm just go ahead and get right into it guys um so I know there been a lot of speculation about you know Forex this year and you know what's going to be around for Traders and um you know a lot of people been switching the Futures a lot of people have been um you know getting tired of the the prop firm nonsense and stuff like that so I'll be real and tell you what I'm doing um you know I've I've tried different prop firms because I've been trading for so long I'm more a fan of trading personal Capital but I do think you know if you can get a prop firm that has good rules um that has a good system that allows you to you know get a good payout then go ahead and do that but the goal should always be to fund a live account right you want to get that money back to your own account so with that being said for me um I've just been focusing on you know building accounts right you know account builds um over the last couple really last two years years right you know I've never um actually like had a prop firm and received withdrawal every time I get a prop firm something always happens whether it's um it could just be me and you know going crazy trying to over leverage but I had an experience where I did actually run up an account I didn't get paid so it kind of like left the sour taste in my mouth and I was like you know what I've been trading too long to depend on other people to get my Capital but if you need that like if you're just getting started I still recommend it so I'm going to jump into what you guys really wanted to see right how did I build an account flip an account whatever you want to call it I don't use the term flip because I know some people look at a flip as like it's it's bad in trading right you know we we don't talk about flipping accounts because everyone says that's not how you should do it right you don't want to over leverage and all those things but I think if you know how to flip something the right way right if you're in real estate you know how to flip a property then you you have a skill set right so there's a scale to it too but just to kind of go over this as you can see this is a real account guys I had got disconnected for a second I'm sorry um but let me know if you guys can hear me I don't I don't know what happened um I don't know if it was a connection it's raining really bad here I'm in Houston for those of you that don't know so we are in that type of storm season so if I uh disconnect in and out bear with me but I'm shareing my screen again you guys should be able to hear me so as I was saying um you know this is not common right you know to to build accounts like this right it's not it's not common but I believe that you know the more you trade the more skill you have right the longer you go right I had you know almost 10 years in the markets um now that's on and off right I've taken breaks like everybody else I've had ups and downs and and life and trading but you know the whole point of trading is to turn $1 into two um so no I don't think you need a lot of money to trade because when I started you know I didn't have a lot of capital and I didn't have prop firms right prop firms weren't a big thing in 2015 2016 actually they were looked at as kind of like a scam um so I was doing what you guys see here I was trading you know I was trading uh smaller accounts and building them and withdrawing and sometimes I was building them and then they would blow or you know whatever the case may be but I had to learn and be precise and really um H the skill of of trading so as you can see here I only have 5% draw down right now that doesn't mean when these trades were open they might have wented to more draw down but I've never lost more than 5% of this account and I've had an 85% return now of course if I had a bigger account I wouldn't need to you know go as crazy and squeeze as much out of if I had a 10K account um you know and I wanted to make the same amount then I wouldn't have had to make 85% to make you know 7,000 I still would have had to make 70% which is still pretty high um so don't let this astronomical number make you think it's it's realistic it's just that when you have a small account you have to learn how to maximize the entries maximize The Leverage that's why we have leverage in Forex too because let's be real it's not attractive to you know have a $800 account and make 10% a day like let's be real that's not going to get you anywhere um and yes compounding over time is great but you know when you're trying to really scale up and build you have to figure out a way to kind of have a Quantum Leap and what I mean by that is you know a Quantum Leap is like okay I have this much but I'm gonna risk half of that to get you know another 800 right so I don't mind risking 400 to get 800 00 that's my perspective on the overall thing right I don't mind risking 200 to get 500 so you know when you're starting off on a smaller account like this it's all about the risk to reward um now it says I've taken 61 trades I haven't taken 61 um individual trades those are setups and I I'll show you guys how I scale in on my positions and how I take multiple positions in one trade but I've only taken about five trading setups if that um so like I said people see these numbers and it's not to impress you or to scare you it's just to show you my reality of What's um possible and what you can achieve if you have a solid plan so you can see right most of these they entries around the same price because i'm trading one setup right I'm just scaling in on Lower time frames to get the most out of that setup and that's another thing you know I'm going to kind of briefly cover tonight um is just learning how to scale in and use um lower time frames and all that type of stuff so like I said you guys can see this I I was trying to send the link out but I guess I have to verify this um I think I have to change the investor password for them to verify it but for those of you that are on the call and whoever watches the recording yes it's a real account I can refresh this this is not edited this is not you know fake data the only reason I haven't made any withdrawals is because I really haven't needed to um and my birthday is next month I feel like every every year when my birthday comes around like I kind of just go crazy um and I always try and challenge myself so this year I was like you know I had some money just sitting in my wallet um you know and and that's what I've what I've done now I'm still using metatrader um the broker that I'm rocking with L next has metatrader so I can send you my link for metatrader or for um Lon X if you need a good broker medit trator let me know I could throw it in the chat but um that's what I've been using um you know so I have no problem uh pushing them and telling people about them they regulated they've been around for seven years and like I said so far I've had no problem with them as you can see um so yeah like I said 600 or 842 to we're sitting at 6 7,620 today um so actually the profit should be a little more The Profit should be um a little bit higher but it probably hasn't updated yet so let's kind of get into it guys I'm going to tell you you know my strategy um at a high level overview I do plan on doing a full boot camp right that won't be free of course but I kind of wanted to do this because I haven't been you know really posting I haven't been making content on YouTube or anything so it's kind of like my way of easing back in at things so for those of you who you know may want one-on ones or you may want to um you know join my boot camp and I have some other private stuff coming as far as like you know um private groups and things like that that I'll um share more over the next couple weeks then this kind of gives you an insight to how I trade and to what I'm doing um now like I said Forex is is still very very powerful right I know a lot of people are at this fear stage because you know they they're seeing all these Brokers go down or lose medat trator um and you can do your research on that why that's happening but the reality is is Forex is still the biggest Market in the world and you know maybe I'm biased because that's the market I started trading in but I do believe that it's kind of like the Gateway Market I feel like you can if you start here you can go anywhere and a stock Trader will probably tell you that you know a commodity tra Trader will probably tell you that but the reason why I say that is because you can literally trade you know indices Forex uh crypto um Commodities you can trade that all in the Forex market so whether you want to go do Futures later on or options like I like this Forex system is the easiest system to just learn how to trade and if you haven't fully you know if you don't understand the Pips and terminology this is not like a beginner call this for people who already have some type of understanding of the market then you probably need to go back to Baby Pips right it's okay to still do that 2024 um you know that's a great free resource it's not going to teach you how to trade but it's going to give you the necessary tools and be your dictionary so that's just my advice for those who are you know still at that beginner phase this is not a beginner um you know call this is not a beginner webinar this is for the people who already have a strategy and you know want to build to it or you know are kind of lost where they're at in their trading journey and want to really figure it out so let's dive into it I have a list of things like I said this is not really you know going to be an organized call like a a workshop type of call or boot camp I'm just want to do all the things that I've kind of added over the last two three years to kind of increase my one rate and I think that these are all things that are non-negotiables there lot of negotiable factors in Forex right so when it comes to like how you draw support resistance using things like Fibonacci order blocks all these different methods that's all subjective to the person because we can look at the same chart and you could say there's a support level here I could say there's support here you could say there's a key level here you could draw Fibonacci here but there's certain things that are non-negotiable right so the things that I started looking at that are non-negotiable in the markets our weekly and can't type today daily highs and lows um so over the last couple years you know I'm I'm a technical Trader whatever you want to you know label that as um I've basically hone my skill off of learning support and resistance key levels Fibonacci and structure right if you don't no Market structure then it's going to be hard to trade at all because Market structure is key no matter what style you're using but um for me right all those things were subjective because like I said all of us could look at the same chart we could all have different levels we could draw our FIB differently but I needed something that was consistent across the board now when I first started trading I really wanted to trade stocks um I didn't have the money back in 2015 to trade stocks and you know it was just a little bit riskier um Forex was a much lower entry cost still is so I was studying a lot of stock Traders and I never really took into account some of the things they were doing but I would pay attention and stock Traders were very um keen on talking about you know the daily highs and daily lows and I think that they are very aware of what's Happening day-to-day Forex sometimes we get so caught up in a bigger picture right so we get caught up on the weekly but you know yet we're we're not even swing Traders we're trying to intraday trade um and real quick type in the chat what type of Trader you are swing Trader scalper intraday my strategy is going to work for any of those um but I I'm just curious what you guys do and what your goal is when you come to these charts um because for a while you know I I wanted to be a swing Trader but that's not my thing and the reason why it's not I feel like swing trading turns trading into investing so I'll tell you the difference to me between trading and investing trading is you know I catch a move and I'm done for the day right that's why I started trading to make money not necessarily every day but you know periodically during the week I wanted to make money two to three times a week at least um and I don't mind holding a trade overnight I'm not saying that but I don't really think people understand right if you want to be a a swing Trader you have to have the utmost patience right because yeah from here to here is a buy but the fluctuations in the pullbacks most of you would not be able to stomach that I know I can't right I don't want to be up 2,000 here just for example and then I'm only up a thousand here and then I'm up again and that like that's not me um so in order to combat that I had to really figure out what's going on daytoday in these markets now the first thing I want to show you I'm not big on indicators guys I like a pretty um you know plain naked chart as you can see um I really don't like to clutter this because then you kind of lose sight of the market but one of the tools I started using over the last couple years was this weekend Saturday Sunday indicator and I think one thing Forex Traders compared to other Traders like I said stock Traders and um commodity Trad we don't pay attention enough of what's going on from week to week in dayto day right so with these alone right every Gray Line is one week um and that put perspective because whether you're a scalper day trader what you have to realize even if you're a scalper and I saw two comment saying that they like the scalp the market doesn't change as much as you think it does so you know if you're selling buying selling buying every five 10 minutes and trying to squeeze out five Pips is probably not worth your time um and you're when rate is probably not that high because the reality is that the market typically does one to two things during the week right so we could see this was Sunday night on this Gray Line and now today is Wednesday evening um so basically all week what has the market done it's been on a buy right so if you were trying to sell like I tried to do last night not g to lie um I was trying to sell right here because I did have a solid fiber Trac but overall it went against my rules and the Buy strong I end up catching the buy maybe it was this one right here but my point to you guys is that you have to know what's going on week to week um you don't want to get lost in the you know in the mix and you don't know where the market is at and you don't know what's happening from one week to another because too many Traders is you show up on Sunday and you don't even know where last week is so this was the first thing for me now like I said I pay big attention to the previous week's highs and lows so let me tell you what I mean by that right because like I said support and resistance we can all draw different ways um and we can all draw in different places we can all draw Fibonacci in different places you can draw order blocks in different places all those things are subjective what you can't draw on a different place is last week's high and last week's low that is always going to be the same for all of us on this call whether you trade my style whether you trade market maker method I don't even know if people still learn that today but that's how long I've been trading that was like the thing when I first got started so I'm going to do a manually there's tons of indicators that you can use and play around with on trading view um and I'll go more into those you know in my boot camp but for now I'm just going to do it manually right so that's last week's high and this is last week's low so what does that really mean to to us it's like sh you're telling us you know we need to pay attention what's happening week to week but what does that really mean well one you want to be aware of where the last week's low was or last week's High because it's going to tell you what not to do right like I said this is not subjective you can't tell me that there's any other low point for last week maybe over here but this is slightly lower right and there's only one high point so we're all working off that same data and when you have concrete reasons to get in the market it helps you because like I said I can draw a trend line here and you can draw a trend line you know to the downside here we don't know who's right until one of us wins but like I said once again this is always going to be the highest last week this is always going to be the low so simply put my strategy is based around figuring out where the previous high and low of last week is and then understanding the overall trend now I'm not going to give a full dive into Market structure but clearly you know since I mean going back all the way now to May right we've been on an uptrend right from here to here is uptrend so for my real swing Traders right people say that swing Traders go to hold a trade from here to here but no one wants to do that because it's uncomfortable right it's it's hard to watch money go like imagine you're a swing Trader and you held from here and now you're up let's say 10,000 here and now you're you know back down to almost break even most people can't handle that emotional intelligence right but I'm not here to convince you on what type of Trader you should be I'm just here to hopefully increase your win rate and help you not lose let's go back here right we've been on a bullish run now what happens with most people is you see a couple bearish candles now I'm on the 4H hour candle or 4our time frame if you want to see the best view of what's happened to week with these and this is just called weekend Saturday Sunday you get this indicated right on trading view but if you want to see what's happening week to week the 4our time frame will do that because this is all of last week so for my scalpers day Traders right sometimes like I said we're taking too many different types of Trades we have to figure out what the bias is for that week and I'm not saying hold the trade from here to here because I'm not doing that but you can get you know 20 Pips here Pips here you know you might catch the sell there but you need to know why to catch the sell so my rule is this if I'm in a uptrend and the new week starts and we open above last week's low right last week's low is here we opened above this I'm only looking for buys right now I'm not going to look for a sale until we come back into seller territory type of one if that makes sense right I'm only looking for buyers because this is our buyer territory now what happens for most people is you open your charts like I said and the new week happens here like well you know Friday Thursday whatever we were on a m we were on a crazy downtrend and then I did take a sell to start the week I think on uh GJ we can go back in my track record but I knew if I didn't break this previous week's low right here then ultimately the Market's trying to get back to the previous week's high and you guys have to begin to understand volume and you know really just wear the moment some of the markets going I'm not going to break that down but volume is something I studied a couple years ago during the pandemic and just understanding that right if there's a high volume of people buying of course sellers are always going to come back in but until we break certain levels that volume is still to the upside so even if you don't understand volume or all those um you know other fundamental concepts I guess you could say everyone can agree that we closed above last week's low so if you want to automatically increase your win rate when you see the market open we can go back to any week because it'll work for any week um if we were to test this strategy right let's go back to here previous week's low previous week's high right what happened here the market once again pulled back this is a pullback and knowing a retrace versus a reversal are you know it's it's key I'm not going to go into that in depth either but you know write that down a retrace is not a reversal and a reversal is not a retrace a retrace is when the market pulls back but it still respects the overall structure so it never change the overall direction but every um Market must correct itself so until we get a reversal right making new lower highs if you don't know structure that's one of the things I'll be covering in my um you know my boot camp I cover my 101s probably do some YouTube stuff on that but there was no change of structure so with that being being said when this when last week opened up I need to look at one or two things am I below last week's low or above it and if I break last week's High then I really shouldn't be looking for sales right if I break last week's high it's clear indication that the market wants to continue to go up now that doesn't mean there's not going to be seller opportunities because there's both sides of the party sellers and buyers have a chance to win in Forex that's why I love Forex because it's the only Market really where you can make equal money on each side um yeah you could you know you could sell off in stocks and things like that and options I'm not an expert in options so don't quote me but like where you can make the same amount of money that a buyer could make I feel like Forex is the only Market you can do it and maybe Futures too um and I'm still learning and dabbling the Futures and trying to get my feet wet but overall you guys see the new week started we closed above right when I say closed above we made a higher low in regards to last week's low now there was also a higher low here but our point of focus for my strategy is making sure that we're not going below this previous week's low if we're staying above it until we have a reason to sell we're only looking for buys because you have to ask yourself what's the safer trade right I see people who you know you try and squeeze out these Sals when the Market opens or you know maybe you're successful with it but you have to understand that's just a counter Trend right the overall picture is respecting the bigger bullish cycle so there's no reason to try and sell long term right a lot of us have amazing entries we we're good at counter Trend trading but we don't think we're counter Trend trading because you feel like while gotten at the top right here you you've convinced yourself there's a resistance level which there is resistance but overall it's not enough resistance to break this previous week low so all this resistance did to start the week was make pullback if we went down to the lower time frames we could probably find you know a nice FIB retracement or something like that and um at that point you know you take your trade and you get out but a lot of times we're holding counter Trend trades because we're we're not looking at the non-negotiable factors so the non-negotiable is this never closed under last week's high right it never made a true lower high because if it made a true lower high it would have kept making lower highs it would have made another one and another one and it didn't do that um so like I said don't don't fool yourself by what's happening in the present just because you're right at the moment um understand if you're right why you're right and how long you're going to be right and what you need to be right for the long term don't let a winner turn to a loser because we can this this wick on this higher time frame on this 4 hour is definitely a candle on a lower time frame so there was a nice bearish candle here but the point of the matter is price pulled back up and started following the overall structure right so let's go back to this week example where I actually took a trade and let's scale in and I'm going to show you now on The Daily side so if you're not using these um period separators right here I think it's under settings and sometimes I forget where things are on trading view but right here they have them on met trator as well it's just period separators and basically this is from day to day like I said a lot of Traders you're not aware I know some of us just like our chart's super clean we don't want nothing on it but I need to know what's happening dayto day because if I don't know what's happening day to day once again I'm just going to get loss and the overall mix and it you can kind of like I said with Forex there's so much subjectiveness you can literally make anything valid right you could have said this was a valid sale area because there is some resistance here but the point of the matter is is that when we look at these from day to day and I have another indicator I like to use called previous day high and low right so like for example let's um take that off right so okay boom start of this new week now when the week open we were making a l a lower high so this would have been a valid sell on Sunday I believe I took this sell we can go back to myfxbook real quick and my trade history and Sunday would have been what day right 617 I took sales around 1 199 745 so let's see where I took that sell 119 or 19974 five okay so right right around there I was taking sales on Sunday so why did I take those sales well sh you just said we're in a bullish Market overall so that's another thing with trading Forex guys sometimes the trade you want is not going to be ready when you're there um there was a time when I didn't have as much flexibility in my schedule so I had to trade whatever the market was showing me but just because the market showing me a sell doesn't mean that we're going to be selling long term and that's what happens to a lot of us we see the market is selling for a period of time but we convince ourselves that that's the overall picture instead of knowing what has to happen for this sell to be a long-term sell in order for this sell for to continue long term or for me to want to change my bias the market was not bullish it would have had to close under this previous week's low so it would had to close under this quote unquote support but like I said we don't have to think about support and resistance right now because this is not negotiable this was your last week's low whether you realized it or not this was my last week's High whether you realized it or not and your last week's high so these things were consistent for every Forex Trader in America if you're trading GJ right obviously other pairs have other daily highs and lows Etc but when Traders are taking these trades I saw a lot of Traders calling this out you know different groups and um posting their wins on Sunday but I know 90% of those Traders had no clue where last week's low is so what happened price pulls back around here and you're okay you know I'll wait for one more candle now before you know it you're back at break even because you don't understand we never broke last week's low price isn't going to go anywhere when it has no momentum or Reason to do so so you can have the perfect Fibonacci right I think I did have a fib drawn from here that's not my FIB this one right I think I had a fib from here to here and it was a nice you know irrespective 38.2 was in at 23.6 and I'm not going to do a fib lesson today either you know it or you don't if you don't FIB is just you know how far the market retraces each one of these levels is a level of retracement and depending on how far that retracement is gives me a future take profit but one I already knew I was bullish so I was respecting the market for what it was too many of us don't respect the market you think just because you take a sale that it's going to sell forever and I was that person right in in 2015 2016 17 up until really the pandemic when I really started to add this into the mix of my trading style I would have been trying to sell here I would have been compounding adding more when the reality is if I don't break this previous week's low there's not even a reason why I should be trying to hold on to that trade I should be taking whatever the market gives me number one because I'm counter TR trading right yes there was a big bearish impulse right here but the reality is is that all that is is a correction and not a reversal until it proves to be a reversal and some might have said well shy it made a lower high you said if it continues to make lower Highs but it still has to be consistent and what I've noticed and you can back test this like I said anything I show you guys or you know teach you guys you can always go back and back test it I guarantee any week if we fail to break the previous week's low right I can go to any random week if we don't break the previous week's low then we're going back to the upside all right like this week we were under we stayed under the previous week's high this entire week so we for a good portion of this week we had more sells than buys because we were under but the minute we closed above over here right we started closing back above the previous week's low then we started leading back into that buy bulling and buying momentum um so real quick just kind of want to pause there does everything make sense so far I know we're kind of going super fast but this was the whole point of this so I could just show you guys of what I'm doing this is like a preview to you know what's to come and how I increase my win rate right trying to show you the actual trades I took and why I took them um so just let me know in in the chat if it's making sense think you want me to go back over um but I took that sell around this area right because I came to the market Sunday and I I'm not going to lie this Sunday I wanted to trade I was like you know I'm kind of in that mode now I don't force a trade but the reality is if the market is open I don't really believe there's like a bad day to trade or a not so good day I think it's more so is the momentum and the setup there so if the market is choppy and there's not a lot of volume then of course you're not going to trade it like today was um juneth in American holiday so the banks were closed um so certain American pairs or us pairs rather are not going to have as much volatility because of that but that's not going to affect like the Great British pound or the Yen or anything like that so um knowing what's going on in the market newswise and just economically will help you but you know I'm not that person that's going to tell you don't trade Sunday I'll say don't trade Sunday Sunday or Monday if you don't see a setup but if the setup is there and the risk to reward is there go ahead and take it so let's scale in a little bit further right I took this trade right around seven the seven uh 40 area the 199 740 area and basically I I knew that there was a higher low or a lower high based off of um this pullback right I saw the respect of the FIB and I told myself if it doesn't break zero cu if it broke zero then I would have been looking for - 27 that's my takeprofit uh for my FIB but it never broke zero so I I started looking at one or two things right one when I when I get my entries a lot of you are trying to enter um off of higher time frames right but the higher you enter the more risk there is because you don't really know where those specific levels that could you know basically hurt you are located so let me take this FIB off really quick so I enter around here right um and I think it did retrace on me and then I caught that drop and then I got out so the reality is is that like I said we did have a close under last or last Friday's high so the previous day High when the market opened gave me a lower high so the same way I said if the Market opens above last week's low we buy and if it opens below last week's or if it opens above last week's low we buy if it opens below last week's low we sell if it opens under last week's High we sell and if it opens above last week's High We Buy right so those are my my four main rules I'll say those again right write these down if the Market opens and closes above last week's low I'm looking to buy and it has to continue of course if it opens and is under last week's low then I would have continued to look for sells if it had opened above last week's High then I'm looking for buys if it had to open but Clos under last week's high right meaning more lower highs were consistently made then I would have been looking to sell long term so I scaled in and you know for me it's it's really just finding patterns and volume right what happens on one side is always going to happen on the others that's the beautiful thing about Forex this Market only works because there's you know liquidity on both sides and for every person trying to buy there's someone trying to sell so that's the only way the Forex Market works like Forex is not like you know a stock where it just goes up forever andever like no it has to correct itself because that's how it's a it's a currency exchange it's literally an exchange between two currencies so as you can see everything that happened on my right side is symmetrical and that's one of the things I talk about too is Market symmetry right happened on my left happened on my right what happened on my right or on my left here happened on my right here so when you start to understand little things like that but then you scale in and you can see okay as long as I'm making lower highs in this time frame my real take profit is usually my previous day low in a case like this right so that's really all I was aiming for the market owed me nothing else but to get somewhere in this previous low area and once I kind of saw it starting to pull back I'm like I don't even want to play around with it Sunday I had taken a couple positions all right if we go back here I took a couple positions I was in this trade for three hours I was like I'm good I don't need to you know Sunday I got 30 Pips out of all this setup and that's all you really need guys 20 to 30 Pips you know now obviously depending on what pair you're trading um I mainly trade GJ but it gets to the point with this strategy I could do this on any pair I'm gonna in a couple minutes ask any person for a random pair and I'll show you this still works I just want to continue to break it down from this perspective because these are actually trades I took so people are so amazed when I you know build these accounts and they see me you know I'm able to put in let's say six Lots on a $800 account is because I understand my risk to reward guys so how that would have looked for me if I'm entering here my stop probably was around that previous High because I'm working with a tight stop because I'm scaling in so I know that if it's breaking these previous lower highs then it's going against what I you know I'm looking for I'm not going to fool around with it right I don't need to be in massive draw down to prove that I'm right I'm I'm not trying to prove that I'm right with Forex Forex is not about proving you're right too many people want to prove oh I was right I was right no I want to be in line with the market right so many people want to be right when you just have to literally do what the Market's doing that's the whole point of this game so if I'm in around there I'm using these lower time frame um levels of structure to give me tight stops right because I want to make sure my risk to reward is good so automatically off rip you know I was in like a one to three setup meaning I was risking um let me measure this out real quick why my trading view is kind of weird right now so I think I got it right there so let's say I was risking 11 Pips and I I got like 30 of the 30 Pips out of here I don't even think I held the whole setup so that's a one to three guys let's say you're using a standard that basically means if you risk 10 Pips with a standard lot roughly you're risking $100 to make 300 that's one to three so when you have a smaller account who's not going to risk 800 or a 100 bucks on a $800 account to get 300 like it only makes sense and then as time picks up and the momentum starts going in your way of course you can add more positions because now you literally see the respect of these lower time frame levels of structure you know that to start the week off the market is not breaking Above This high like it would have to literally do some amazing type of news so I knew we want to get back to here that's where the buyers are that's where the buyers are living at and that's where we got to get back to to go back up too many people buy in ranges where there's no reason to I'm not going to buy here because the move started down here and if you want to become a good Trader go back test right and don't just back test look at where you would have wanted to enter right too many people back test and you know you just try your strategy instead of literally looking and saying okay how would I have gotten a buy right here that would have been my goal if you didn't catch this trade and then study what this trade looks like on every time frame that's the problem people don't want to you know go back and study that's what I used to do or I would see people who would get good entries like myself and then you know you guys can look at my track record and see where I entered and be okay shy entered here let me see why he entered oh well it was making lower highs on this time frame right we did have a break of structure over here um we were closing under last week's High to start the week off and you know he traded it right back down to the previous week's low I used to do that with people when I saw traders who had good trades or good wins now that doesn't mean all them were using good risk management or you know were taking um good setups but I was curious I was trying to see like why were people actually entering the market where they were entering so this is one of those setups where it was you know a no-brainer for me to keep adding because sellers had taken over for this time being but they hadn't taken over long term right so know what has to happen you know you have to think like a swing Trader but have the entries of a scalper and the mindset of an intraday Trader that that's what happened for me when that switch flipped I think like a swing Trader so when this week started I said if we don't break last week's High what did I tell you guys everything that happens over here it's going to happen over here so the minute we didn't break last week's or last week's low excuse me I had my target set out to here that doesn't mean I'm going to enter one trade like I said and hold for days on end that's not me but slowly but surely I started chopping away at the bigger picture and getting in where I could fit in right you know I'm taking some here taking some here and then before you know it we're almost back to last week's high now we're kind of seeing okay are we going to break last week's high or are we going to start to make a higher time frame lower high and truly reverse back down here so that's how you have to think as a Trader right you can't just think oh you know I'm on the five minute I see it going down I'm GNA sell like that's the easiest way to fail um you have to have everything in sync and using these daily highs and lows for me kind of kept a lot in sync and it it tells me what not to do right like everyone wants to know what they should do with Forex you should be trying to figure out what you should not do um so what you should not do is have an amazing opportunity like this where the week opens up and it's literally telling you right one two three rejections where price is basically telling you we're making lower lower highs of this structure right making lower highs now if you wanted you could have you know drawn trend lines all types of other stuff whatever your style is is cool but I'm I'm teaching you the nonsubjective elements of the game that most people I don't see on YouTube talking about and I feel like could blow off is because I don't see most of the big Traders talking about this um there's also a book that I read probably like a year ago I'm going to reread it again it's by I think his name is like Larry Williams um but he talks about you know just these daily highs and lows and you know how they represent different things in the market and how to look out for them so once again we can see remember I told you I got my previous day high and low as well um so this was Friday Friday's uh low would have been right here right so once I closed above Friday's low that's when I'm like okay there's no need for me to to hold on to this and even let's say you were in this trade and you caught all this and it retraces you got to be able to scale in and see when the when the structure is changing that's why I said you got to be able to think like a scalper but know the long-term vision of where the market is trying to go so let's say you you know you held here and maybe you compound and you added another entry here and you're up the minute we get this close and we start to make higher lows me personally I'm not going to risk it because I know what the market is doing it's rejecting this previous week's low and if we go back up to the higher time frame go back to like the hour once we got a close right the right spot I think we're right here right once we got that closed I'm looking for straight byx so this is how I determine when the market is Shifting I like to do this more so on the higher time frames because remember the higher the time frame the more solid the evidence right like a lower time frame it's not that you can't trust it it's just that that changes so often but on the hour time frame like these candles took two hours to set up if we're talking about two candles so that holds a little bit more weight than you know just trying to follow structure on the lower time frames so structure on the lower time frames write this down structure on Lower time frames is good for entries structure on higher time frames is better for direction um so when I'm scaling in yeah I want to use that lower time frame structure to get quote unquote sniper entries so I can have you know minimal draw down so you can go ahead and you know you could throw five Lots in on a thousand account not saying you should but if you understand the risk to reward like I said me personally if I have a$1 thousand account you know making 10% is just not that's not attractive that's not real sexy right I'm not trying to make 100 bucks on a $1,000 account I'm trying to figure out how can I risk maybe you know $400 to get $800 $400 to get 600 $200 to get 500 right I want to have a good risk to reward so if if you're a percentage based Trader I'm not telling you you're wrong but let's be real like you want to make money that's why you trade um so you kind of have to throw out the percents until you get your account to that five to 10K Mark that's when you can start saying okay I want to make you know 1% a day or 5% a week because the numbers make sense um because you can't really have a you can't say you want to make 5,000 a week trading because you don't know what the Market's going to give you but what you can say is I want to find three to four one to three setups and I'm gonna risk you know 100 on every setup to make 300 that makes sense because then not only are you keeping a good risk to reward but you're never going to blow your account because even if you lose let's say the first one right you take a one to three and you lost you lost 100 bucks and then the second one you lost 100 bucks on the third one if you did one to three risk 100 to make 300 now you're back in the positive 100 so you literally made up for those two trades in one so that's why I think risk to reward is so key when you have a smaller account versus you know a lot of these Traders and um people tell you you know only risk 1% a day if you risking 1% on a account with less than 500 you have no room room to really make real money you're going to be making pennies until you know that account builds and builds yeah compound interest does work you know people will show all those compound plans oh you start with a 100 and just do this every day but nothing's guaranteed every day the only thing that's guaranteed is you finding setups that work for you that's the only thing that's guaranteed but getting a a certain pip amount every day is not guaranteed getting a certain percentage amount is not guaranteed but all you can control is how much you're going to risk and sometimes the reward doesn't play out but if you're always using a good risk to ratio you're still going to see yourself further in the long run versus the person who um you know is probably just trying to get 1% a day on a small account because how long is it going to take them to get that account to you know a higher level to really be able to see real money and we all know what real money is I'm not trying to talk down on anybody with a small account um or anybody who you know is risking low right you know that getting a feel for the market and how it moves really using standards whether using micros mini Lots is key but after a while we do this thing to make money so I'm just being real and telling you guys how I was looking at it when all I had was small accounts now I can say I've traded you know on 10,000 20,000 $30,000 accounts um so your perspective will change and you can start to you know change your risk system but I think in the beginning for most Traders it's going to be I'm going to risk this amount to get this amount um so I want to go over a couple more setups and then then really I started using this method mainly for indices it wasn't even for currencies right um because around 2022 I switched to Trad in Nas 100 pretty heavy and indices you know are a whole different ball game that's one of the things I go over in my boot camp and I might just make a YouTube video on this because I hate when I see people trading indices like currencies they're two different markets yeah we're trading them through Forex but like what people don't realize like Nas 100 and us30 and all those you know index pairs they're literally indexes and the goal of an index is to go up all the time right people invest into indexes every day so they can get a return yearly on their money 10% 5% whatever the case may be so that being said um you have to approach it a little bit differently versus Forex it's literally you know buying and selling buying and selling it's always a back and forth game right like I to put Nas 100 right now it's been going up you know for just like weeks on end and keeps making new highs every day um because it's based around you know the tech industry and you know a lot of those tech stocks like Nvidia and you know Facebook and Microsoft and all those things that keep growing in value so you have to know what you're trading but I'm I'm not going to go too deep into that so let me show you guys another setup I took yesterday I don't change my bias until the market gives me a reason to um so what I mean by that a lot of people start seeing pullback like this and they sell for dear life right until the market is telling you that it's going to change structure like this if you don't see that there's no reason to be trying to sell long term there's nothing wrong with being a scalper being a day trader if when you show up to the market and it's selling don't buy it right that's not what I'm saying but understand what you're going to get out of your buy or your sell understand that if you were selling in this area there wasn't a high chance of you to get 100 pip trades and that's the problem that a lot of times we have we have the right trade with the wrong expectation right wherein we have you can have the best entry in the world here if it's not time to sell you're not going to get what you want so if if you're taking this trade and your target is here that doesn't make sense until price starts to break all these previous levels of structure and until price is truly closing under here meaning when I say closing right right now we're making higher lows and this is where structure is key we're not making lower highs off of this level con ly these are all like I said this was all pullback first off so this wasn't even a reversal if it was a reversal it would have kept dropping so it's the simple things like that that will literally tell you what the market wants to do but we just ignore them so let me show you the trade that I entered um now I was in some draw on with this one last night um but I'll tell you why so once again I take whatever the market showing me I'm not one of those traders that just because I'm ready to buy that I think the Market's going to buy I knew knew there was going to be some selling here and the reason being truthfully if you scale into like the 15 minute so we could see to start yesterday right we were closing under the previous day's high right so here was the previous day's High we were making some lower highs here so I did take some sales um but those Sals didn't last too long and then the market spiked up right here and I didn't sell again at this point I'm like you know what Shai I know what the market wants to do I gotta I gotta wait I got to wait it out so I started buying right around here um and my stop was basically here but I usually give myself a little bit of breathing room because the reality is is that any day the market could pull back to the previous day's low but we weren't we respected the previous day's low right so the previous day's low is here we got our higher low for the new day at that point I'm like yeah we have a better chance of buying and selling and obviously we're still above last week's high so if I'm still above last week's High what did I tell you then I should mainly be looking for buys for the quote unquote longterm or intraday right the buys are going to be you know the trades I can hold a little bit longer not saying you got to hold them for five hours or you know for two days but those are the ones that are going to give me more Bang from my buck so I'm entering buys here here and I'm up right you know I'm up a couple hundred um now if you are you know trying to grow small Capital you have to be very strict I had a little more capital in cushion in my account so um I didn't mind letting it retrace but part of my strategy too is also keeping tight stops like I said having those 10 pip stops or having that stop right at structure because I don't want to um you know blow the account or I don't want to give back too much to the market but you also have to let the trade breathe a lot of times don't be so you know caught up on trying to get a perfect entry that you you don't let the trade breathe it doesn't it's kind of like you know if you go to the gym and you're you're trying to do an amazing workout but you're not breathing the whole time right you could be bench pressing you know you could be doing arms legs doesn't matter if you're not breathing you're not really giving your body a chance to get the full movement out of that workout SO trading is the same thing trading is just a workout of the market and I knew that I wasn't really giving myself room with a stop loss here so I said as long as we don't break back into here on this lower time frame and as long long as we don't hit our previous day low which the market didn't even look like it wanted to do like you have to use you know your god-given discernment and ability to say okay it's clearly it's choppy right number one so if it's choppy and it's not really showing a heavy impulse to the downside that's why I was like let me just take my L on these sales when we came back up and if I had a h my sale actually would have went to profit but by this time I knew these were all higher low points in the bigger picture right first higher low from last week second one third one fourth one fifth by this time I'm like there's nothing else to do so I just continue to add on to the buy I'm in you know massive draw down last night I was probably in uh probably about 20% draw down I think my account was a little over 6,000 and I was down like 1,400 but I knew where we were headed or where the market was trying to go we're trying to get back to here that's the whole point if this selloff happened then buyers are trying to get back there so all all I have to do is be patient and follow along so once we got this close right here that was the one that gave me the confidence right and then boom we literally shot right up to the previous day's high now we didn't break the previous day high so I got out I went to bed I think I had made like 1700 um I had lost 300 earlier that day so yesterday I closed like, 1400 profit and then as you see right what would happened most people would have said oh it didn't break the previous day high shy said I could sell well yeah you could have sold and been right for the short term but then you would have you know woke up after London session and it would have went right back in the main Direction why because on the higher time frames we have not changed our structure so if I'm above the previous day high right right there and above the previous week high that's a double reason to buy and like said that's a non-negotiable that's not I'm not making that up that's this was your previous day's high this was my previous week's low those things are valid for all of us across the board so like I said these are the the non-subjective things you can't tell me there was another previous day high because there wasn't it doesn't make sense so when you look at it from that standpoint you give yourself less room for error so you know if you break the previous day high the only thing you should be looking for is a buy and yes that's a resistance level but it's more concrete when you look at it is for what it is it's the previous day high if I tell you it's resistance then the minute you see some rejection you're going to try and sell but if you know that if the market closes above the previous day's High there's not anything else to do then you're not going to try and go against the grain you're not going to try and you know counter Trend it won't make sense for you so let's look at how many Pips you could have got out of that setup so even if you didn't catch it down here right like I'm a retrace Trader meaning I don't like to really enter on breakouts but this strategy or this method whatever you want to call it it will allow you to kind of have some Freedom even if you're not on time right like this is consider the perfect entry right this is where price pulled back to IR respected structure we all would have loved to get in there but let's say you didn't get in here and price went up and it broke that previous day's High you could have still made after the break there was no major retracement right you still could have caught 26 Pips with a standard 260 bucks right four Lots you're talking about almost you know uh 420 so you have to to learn what you're going to get when the market is giving you the opportunity now of course you know the session the time of day plays a part so no your pair right I'm not going to go over that but you have to know your pair you have to know when your pair is going to move does your pair move during London does your pair move during New York um does your pair move during Asian session does your pair move pre- London right knowing those things will keep you out of draw down but end of the day like I said for me my focus is on following the market um so whether you're a day trader whether you're a scalper you still want to be in line with the market overall maybe you're a scalper and now you see this and you're like oh I could hold my trade a little bit longer I don't need to get out because all yesterday was was really a buy right like I always ask myself every week if I was to walk away from my chart and only take one trade what would I have wanted to do so for this week if I had have taken one trade on Sunday or Monday that would have been a buy or I would have wanted to buy there would have been no reason to sell and when you start seeing it like that it keeps you out of the wrong direction so we can even go to the pre to the current day now obviously you know the market is getting close back to our previous week's high so we got to be a little more careful because now you know we could see that turnaround but until I have a reason to I'm not g to sell heavy right and I think that's the the other problem a lot of Traders have is like we know all these things we know it's resistance up here so we start going against the grade trying to force the market you can never never Force the market right all of us can throw in a 100 Lots on our favorite pair and we will never ever push the direction of the market it's always going to go in whatever Direction the banks are going in the bigger hedge funds the bigger trading groups but your little point 10 my little standard even five 10 Lots 20 Lots your favorite Traders 100 Lots on YouTube is not shifting this thing so yesterday was one of those days where I had to tell myself I rather lose from being right than lose from trying to go against the grain if that makes sense right like I rather lose from doing what the Market's been doing all week which is buying versus losing trying to sell because if I'm trying to sell that means like I'm trying to be a rebel I'm trying to really do something different when it's literally been telling me Shy buy every single day when I have when there's a pullback so you if you have to choose how you want to lose because what happens for a lot of people you lose and you don't understand why you lose because you convince yourself you were right it's a cell Why didn't it go down long term when the reality is is that it can't go down long term because it's still above last week's low like so all those little things are going to help you um you know along along your journey so like today seeing this trade right now there's nothing I would do but buy right I rather get burnt by following the rules than trying to go against them and really paying the consequence um so once again we can see today we're closing above yesterday's low and of of course all these other previous lows and last week's low so I'm still bullish right and my target is still back to this previous week's high but I'm also aware I'm not going to be a fool and say you know the best time to buy was here second best time was here the third is here so now around the fourth time you have to kind of tell yourself is it going to be worth it as much I don't know none of us know right we we don't know but we can control the risk so if I was to enter a setup like this right I might have entered like right around here and my first stop would be you know around this area but as long as we're respecting this previous day low then we're testing the previous day high right because I told you guys what happens on one side happens to the other um and I I I'm kind of tempted to take this by because I feel like we're going to get back to this previous day high but the market has been kind of choppy but based off my style my strategy the only thing I'd be looking for right now is a buy now if we break this previous day low during London then you know that might be a nice intraday sell for us um and then of course we'll have to continue to change structure but I'm trying to help you guys not lose um when you don't need to or if you are losing at least give your money a chance right you shouldn't be losing bad right if we took a buy we're not losing bad because there's not too much area or too much room from our previous levels of support versus if you took a sell your uh risk is a lot higher because you're trading further away from resistance further away from the previous day high so remember that guys like do what makes sense as a Trader all right it made more sense for me to take a buy here with risk risking this much versus trying to take a sell here and having bigger risk all the way up here right like sometimes that's the difference between me taking that buy or to sell which one has more risk right which one is literally giving me the least amount of risk that's the one I want to take and even if I'm wrong well hell at least I limited my risk um and I I tried to pack a lot into this call so I'm trying to think if there's anything else I can really go over heavy for you guys oh the the main other thing too that I look for besides the you know the period separators the day-to-day weekly high and low um is understanding what constitutes that the market is ready right so for me in order for me to really take a bearish setup I like to see a bullish candle and then a bearish candle and then I'll sell right and you can back test all this stuff guys don't take my word for it right everything I'm telling you is just research go try it out yourself but nine times out of 10 especially like on the 4 Hour higher when the market makes a bullish to bearish print right typically we drop bullish bearish sold bullish bearish there was some selling opportunity right more came over here same thing here bullish bearish sold bullish bearish so on the opposite side when the market is a bearish candle to a bullish candle there's a buying opportunity right so pay attention to those little things find your own little patterns you know these are things that work for me because I like to find the things that are constant right so every time just about when I see a bearish candle and a bullish candle Market goes bullish every time I see a bullish candle and a bearish candle Market goes bearish right when you start finding little hacks like that or whatever you want to call them little cheat codes you're going to one increase your confidence you're going to add to your strategy but you're also going to you know not be wrong for no reason right like I said there's no reason to be wrong for no reason like I said we did get a bullish to bearish print here but sometimes you have to wait for that candle to close right remember one a 4 Hour chart so it could start off bearish and I could just be grabbing my sellers um so that's why sometimes if the market hasn't really closed I won't take any trade that's why I'm not in this trade yet because the reality was the best time to buy is here right or it was here so in my mind I'm thinking okay I want to get back as close as possible to here before I take a buy but I also want to see valid structure before I take a sell so I'm going to go over to NAS 100 real quick because that's where I kind of developed this style at um and I haven't really been trading Nas Just because it's been making new all-time highs every single day right let me clear this off right so Nas 100 has literally been making new highs who trades indices in here type of two trade indices and for those of you that stayed on this whole call I really do appreciate it you know um for the ones who didn't show up I think they they might have missed out but I did record it so if you want the recording too I can send that to you guys um but yeah if you trade indices right you have to understand what indices are right I used to hate when people be trying to like swing trade indices for the long term and taking sales because it's like that's not probably gonna happen right unless we go into a major recession or a big housing crisis like you have to understand what you're trading guys like that's one of the biggest tips I can tell you because I wasn't thinking this way um because when I first started no one was talking about trading indices I don't even think Brokers had indices um and when they became popular it was like everyone hopped on that wave and I know some people say trade currencies First Trade this honestly trade whatever you want just understand what you're trading so if you want to trade indices from day one I'm not the guy to tell you not to now obviously you should probably have more Capital to trade indices they're more volatile they're more risky but trade whatever you know fits for you um but it is easier to learn on currencies I think that's why I said I think the Forex Market specifically I don't mean trading uh indices or indexes or gold or Bitcoin in the Forex Market but if you stick to currency pairs right I don't care if it's a fast one like GJ or slow one like Au or EUR USD if you stick to currency pairs you can kind of learn the functions of trading and then you can go to other markets um so really quick let's kind of go back I developed this whole day-to-day thing because I was trading indices and they don't retrace as much so it's a lot harder to get a buyas sometimes when the market doesn't retrace right because you know it's going up but the trader in you especially if you've been trading Forex you want to catch the reversals you want to catch those those sells and for me I was like damn I'm trying to sell because you know the Market's been going up but the reality is it wasn't ready so like I said that's when I started really paying attention to the previous week's high and low and that really I kind of came with this whole strategy for indices but it just happens to work across the board because all this stuff is constant I just have to look at it a little bit differently so all year right if you had have just taken one Buy on NAS 100 you would be up crazy like you would have been up this entire time of course there was pullbacks but you would have never essentially lost money now what do you do when the Market's not pulling back well one you don't try and force a sell right every week I see someone calling out a sell on NAS 100 and it's like you got to understand what needs to happen economically right if you don't know what what stocks make up the NASDAQ you probably shouldn't be trading Nas right like I see so many people want to trade Nas in us30 you don't even know what it is right it's it's a composition of the top 100 stocks right so that means it's always bullish overall because it's the top 100 so if a stock falls off and it's no longer good they replace it with another one because it's the top 100 and this is not an Indy lesson I'll I'll do that another time but um back to the strategy right so once again start with this week right here we closed above the previous week's High I'm not looking for any type of sell I don't care who's selling I don't care who got a 100 Lots on a sell there's no reason because I automatically know until the economy changes or until the stocks that compile the NASDAQ change it's going to be bullish number one but based off the strategy if we're above last week's High the main thing we're looking for is Buys so once again you can scale in to the hour whatever time frame you like to use and pay attention what's going on day to day guys that's the key KN one day to day oops that's not the right one all right so now we can see okay we were literally sitting right above Friday's high so why would you try and sell right all you can do is wait for whatever pullback now the thing with you know indices why I had to use the strategy because they don't pullback like Forex pairs so I can't really use FIB all the time and say I'm waiting for you know a 61.8 or 78.6 it's not going to happen happen right like here we got a little 38.2 but it's not going to always give me a crazy retrace that you know we like to see with Forex because it's not a Forex pair so if I close above last week's High and the previous day's High guys I shouldn't be doing nothing but buying right not only am I above last week's high but I'm above last week's low so now that's two confirmations of why you should not sell right forget why you should buy I'm telling you why you should not sell because if you know why you shouldn't sell then you know where you should buy right so that's how this whole strategy kind of came to be was just because I was looking at indices I'm like you know what are stock Traders way looking at um Jack say you gotta get off understand bro thank you for hopping on glad you got some value man like I said I'll send the recording out just DM me um if you want the recording because I can't remember everybody who you know hit me up and I still got to send it to the people who were on here but I'm going wrap up guys like I said you know we talked about the weekly highs and lows the period separators the previous day highs and lows um you know scaling in and kind of trading small accounts versus big accounts so all this stuff guys I'll go more into depth on you know YouTube I've been slacking on I've been saying for years I was going to get on YouTube and I'll be real I kind of felt like there was so much saturation because you know you get on YouTube and you see the people with you know the flashy cars and this and that and even if they're saying BS people just eat it up because it's like oh they got 100,000 subs and you know they're flexing a lifestyle but but you know I think in 2024 it's needed because a lot of people don't like Forex and it's sad that like so many people quit because of the wrong group or the wrong Mentor so I'm going to wrap it up here guys but you know stay tuned for the boot camp information if you're not on my free telegram go to my Instagram join that group um you know gonna be making more content soon doing little breakdowns I do a full breakdown of like the account build but hopefully you got an understanding of the strategy tonight how we did it if you want to come off mute real quick and ask questions for like next two minutes I'll keep it open um but if not I'm wrap up here and um if you think of questions later hit me in my DMs I'm not one of those Traders or people that doesn't answer I might not see it right away but you know I try to get back and answer questions when I see them so yeah guys that's all I have for you um but any questions you could type them or you could um like I said hit me up on Instagram hit me up on telegram whatever social you have me on and um yeah that's really it guys like I said um if you need a broker that has metat trator 5 just hit me up on Instagram I'll give that to you I think it's in my bio as well I like sway markets they don't have um they don't have metatrader but I like their platform if you want an alternative so um that's really the two places I'm trading LX and uh sway so I appreciate you guys if you want the record to hit me up and I will see you guys in the boot camp um pricing probably will be like 500 to 800 for
