1
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,759
i will never forget
2
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:10,400
the day i learned about moving averages
3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,400
i was watching a video online and the
4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,400
guy was watching said that i needed to
5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,120
buy
6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,680
every time price hit the 20 period
7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,039
moving average
8
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:21,520
and for some reason i decided to blindly
9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,039
trust this man that i had never met
10
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:24,240
before in my life
11
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:26,640
i took to my charts i placed the 20
12
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,400
period moving average on them
13
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,279
and i bought the next three times price
14
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:33,680
hit that moving average
15
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,320
i was amazed because all three of those
16
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,200
trades won
17
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,200
i started thinking about the kind of car
18
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,800
i wanted i started thinking about
19
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,079
the kind of house i was gonna buy i
20
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:44,239
started thinking about how easy it would
21
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:45,280
be to retire
22
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,239
if i could just win three trades a day
23
00:00:48,239 --> 00:00:49,520
using this magic
24
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,719
20 period moving average
25
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:55,760
and then tragedy struck
26
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,079
i ended up losing the next six trades in
27
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:00,079
a row using the same exact moving
28
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:01,600
average
29
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,799
now why is that why did this happen
30
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:07,200
well the reason is because there is no
31
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,439
such thing as a magic moving average
32
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:10,880
there's no such thing as a magic
33
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,479
indicator that's going to
34
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:15,600
help you win 100 of your trades
35
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,080
but what i found out throughout learning
36
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,840
more about moving averages
37
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,640
and using them correctly is that if used
38
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,759
properly
39
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:25,600
moving averages can create some
40
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,880
extremely
41
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,439
powerful trading opportunities and that
42
00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:31,040
is why in today's video i want to show
43
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:31,680
you one
44
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,479
what moving averages are two how you can
45
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:36,240
use them to help you identify the trend
46
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,759
of any market
47
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:40,640
three how you can use them as areas of
48
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,000
value to trade from
49
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,240
and how you can use them with confluence
50
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,920
of other technical factors
51
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,000
in order to create some extremely
52
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,479
profitable trading opportunities
53
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:53,040
and as i normally do in my videos i'm
54
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,520
also
55
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,360
towards the end of the video going to be
56
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,680
showing you a profitable rules-based
57
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,000
strategy around moving averages that you
58
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,280
will hopefully
59
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,680
go back test and put into your own
60
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,799
trading plan
61
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:07,439
those are extremely important steps and
62
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:08,160
hopefully
63
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,318
this strategy can help you with your
64
00:02:10,318 --> 00:02:12,720
goal of becoming a consistently
65
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,040
profitable trader so if that sounds good
66
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,560
i need you to do two things for me
67
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,920
first off go ahead and click that like
68
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,599
button to help out with the youtube
69
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:20,160
algorithm
70
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,160
click subscribe if you are not already
71
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:23,920
if you are already subscribed
72
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:25,760
then welcome back you know what's coming
73
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,080
let's go ahead and get into the video
74
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,360
so what is a moving average
75
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,599
well it's exactly what it sounds like it
76
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:34,480
is the average
77
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,319
movement of price on a particular
78
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:37,680
currency pair or
79
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,120
asset based on a certain number of
80
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,680
candles so for the example we have on
81
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,800
the screen now
82
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,239
the line that you see on the chart
83
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:48,480
that's red is the moving average and it
84
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,440
is a
85
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,080
20 period moving average the reason is
86
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,760
20 periods is because we have
87
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,800
the length or look back period set to 20
88
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,840
we have the source set to close and
89
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,879
what this means is that the moving
90
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:04,000
average itself is going
91
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,879
to look at the close of the last 20
92
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:07,680
candles
93
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,239
red candles green candles does not
94
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:10,720
matter
95
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,640
it's looking at the close of the last 20
96
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:14,720
candles and it's going to add
97
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,360
all of them together once it adds all of
98
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,120
them together it's then going to divide
99
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,080
that number
100
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,280
by 20 to give us the average of price
101
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,400
and that is how
102
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,599
this line itself is plotted so
103
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:29,920
to make this extremely easy what i'm
104
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:30,799
going to do
105
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:32,799
is change this to a five period moving
106
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:33,920
average and we're going to do this
107
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:35,200
calculation ourselves
108
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,360
so with a five period moving average you
109
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,560
can see that our current
110
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,640
indicator value is 1.21223 and the way
111
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,360
you can see that
112
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,599
is right here where it says m a that i'm
113
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:46,560
pointing at now
114
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,959
so what i'm gonna do is calculate by
115
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:49,840
adding
116
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,200
the last five candle closes each of
117
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,799
these is the close of one of the
118
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:56,239
previous five candles
119
00:03:56,239 --> 00:03:58,000
and then i'm gonna divide that number by
120
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,319
five and this is the number we will see
121
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,000
afterwards let's do that right now
122
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,000
so if we add all of those numbers
123
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,599
together we have 6.06114 and if we
124
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:10,799
divide that
125
00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:13,920
by our five candles we end up with
126
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,760
nearly exactly
127
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,560
one point two one two two three yes we
128
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,040
have
129
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,600
two two eight here but the indicator
130
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,320
rounded it up
131
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,080
by one decimal point which is totally
132
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,360
fine and that
133
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,919
my friends is exactly how a moving
134
00:04:27,919 --> 00:04:30,000
average is calculated no matter what the
135
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,880
number is
136
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,840
so for our last example here if we had a
137
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,600
50-day moving average here
138
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,479
what would the indicator be doing this
139
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:39,840
indicator itself
140
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:42,320
set to a 50 period length whatever you
141
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,040
want to call it
142
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,199
would look back at the last 50 candle
143
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:46,160
closes
144
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,479
and then would divide that number by 50
145
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:49,840
and that is exactly how
146
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,600
you would get this line no matter what
147
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680
the number is for your length that is
148
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,199
exactly how it's calculated
149
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:58,400
so that is what a moving average is now
150
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,800
let's move on to how we can use moving
151
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,360
averages
152
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,600
to help us determine the trend of a
153
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,039
market and i'm going to share with you
154
00:05:05,039 --> 00:05:07,280
three different ways to do so right now
155
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,039
let's head back over to the charts
156
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:11,199
so there are three moving averages that
157
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:12,960
i would suggest you use to identify
158
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,639
trend they are the 20
159
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:16,720
period moving average the 50 period
160
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,960
moving average and the 200 period moving
161
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,000
average these are
162
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,960
the most popular and by far the best for
163
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,160
helping to determine
164
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,479
trend if you want to look for short-term
165
00:05:26,479 --> 00:05:28,400
trends using the 20-period moving
166
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:28,960
average
167
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,120
would be a viable option if you wanted
168
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,720
to look for medium-term trends
169
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,240
the 50-period moving average would be a
170
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,479
viable option and for long-term trends
171
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:39,440
using the 200 moving average would be a
172
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:39,840
good
173
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:42,320
option for that now you still must
174
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,960
understand the normal concepts of
175
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,440
trend that being that in order for a
176
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,960
market to be in trend we need to be
177
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:49,520
making
178
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,840
higher highs higher lows higher highs
179
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:52,720
higher lows
180
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,479
higher highs and once that stops
181
00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,639
happening instead of a higher high
182
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:58,960
or a higher low excuse me now we have a
183
00:05:58,960 --> 00:05:59,759
lower low
184
00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:01,919
so once this starts happening we are out
185
00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:02,800
of trend
186
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,120
whether we are above below beside a
187
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,960
moving average or not so it's extremely
188
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:07,600
important
189
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,759
that you understand that and don't go
190
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:11,520
solely based on just a moving average
191
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,280
you need an understanding of trend
192
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,319
itself as well but let's let's talk
193
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:17,759
about short-term trends
194
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:19,680
if you were looking for a short-term
195
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,840
type of trend you could say
196
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,080
this is the first way of using the
197
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,520
moving average in order
198
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,520
to define trend you could say that i
199
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,440
only take short trades
200
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,800
when i see space between the 20
201
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,240
moving average and price and then
202
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,080
whenever the market is against the
203
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,600
moving average i take
204
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,960
no trades and when the market is
205
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,240
above with space i look for long trades
206
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,840
that is one way you could use moving
207
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,280
averages to help define
208
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,440
trend now something that helps a lot of
209
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,400
traders
210
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,000
in order to define this trend is to add
211
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,080
another moving average like the 50
212
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,280
period moving average
213
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,280
now why would you want to do that
214
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:02,400
because with just
215
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,560
one moving average let's leave the 20 on
216
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,080
what you'll find yourself doing is
217
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:06,960
getting caught
218
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,440
in a lot of situations that look like
219
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,319
this
220
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:13,360
a lot of consolidation if you are being
221
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,440
caught in this type of consolidation
222
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840
then your trend trades are going to be
223
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,560
losing
224
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,800
during this entire time and that is why
225
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,919
some people opt
226
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:25,440
to use two moving averages to keep you
227
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,319
out of some of this consolidation now
228
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:30,639
the downside to this each of them comes
229
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:32,880
with their upside and down to downside
230
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,120
and this second way of identifying trend
231
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,400
the downside to it
232
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,039
is that you will miss out sometimes on
233
00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:40,000
the initial
234
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,039
reversal in price and the third way
235
00:07:43,039 --> 00:07:46,000
of helping to identify trend using
236
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,120
moving averages
237
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,520
is with three moving averages now i
238
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,879
don't know that i would use the 200
239
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:52,160
moving average for this
240
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,319
you could use whatever would be larger
241
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:55,360
than a 50
242
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,919
or lower than a 20. the number really
243
00:07:57,919 --> 00:07:58,800
does not matter
244
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,440
so in this case i would probably do
245
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,000
something
246
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,120
like a non-period moving average and
247
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,400
at this point it's kind of
248
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,080
self-explanatory but what you would be
249
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:08,720
saying
250
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,639
is when the blue slash
251
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:16,400
50 ma the 20
252
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,520
ma and the 9
253
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,879
ma all show me that they have space
254
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:24,240
between them and are pointing to the
255
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,039
downside
256
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:26,879
and are not touching and clustered up
257
00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:28,879
like this then i'm looking for short
258
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:29,680
trades
259
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,719
and the opposite would be true once they
260
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:34,240
fan out
261
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,360
to the upside like we have here all of
262
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,159
these ways are
263
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:40,479
great in terms of creating objective
264
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:41,200
rules
265
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,399
for a trading strategy i love moving
266
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:46,560
averages for that reason they create
267
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,480
completely objective rules that you
268
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,080
cannot mess up
269
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,480
even if you try there is no way you can
270
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,000
say that these three lines
271
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,560
are not fanned out there's no way that
272
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,279
you can say
273
00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:59,760
they are fanned out in this situation
274
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,320
right here
275
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,680
when we have the black line or the
276
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,160
non-moving average pulling below
277
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,399
the 20 moving average so it's a way of
278
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:08,080
creating objective rules
279
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800
in a trading strategy but that's all you
280
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,959
need to see moving averages as
281
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:15,279
and so just as a quick recap you can
282
00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:16,000
either use
283
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,360
one moving average like the 50 or the 20
284
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,640
to determine trend
285
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,880
by saying that candles are below the 50
286
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,000
period moving average
287
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,560
i'm looking for short trades or you
288
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:28,080
could use two moving averages like the
289
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,080
50 and the 20 and you could say when my
290
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,680
red line is clearly
291
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:34,959
below my blue line or my 20 below the 50
292
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:36,560
then i'm looking for short trades and
293
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:38,000
that's the only time i'm looking for
294
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,800
short trades
295
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,360
vice versa for long trades or you could
296
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,880
go as far as to use three moving
297
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:43,920
averages and say
298
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,320
when i have space between all three to
299
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,279
the downside
300
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:49,519
then i'm looking for short trades and
301
00:09:49,519 --> 00:09:50,480
the opposite
302
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,080
is true for the upside looking for
303
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,880
bullish trades when they fan out in this
304
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,360
way
305
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,120
and that's a couple of ways you can use
306
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,959
moving averages in order to help you
307
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:02,480
determine the trend
308
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,000
of a market this is something that i've
309
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,920
used throughout my entire trading career
310
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,079
i still use moving averages to help me
311
00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:09,839
determine trend to this day
312
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:11,040
and it's something i definitely would
313
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,040
suggest you trying to
314
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,720
implement into your trading as an
315
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,720
objective role in a trading
316
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,920
strategy so now let's move on to
317
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:23,120
how can we use moving averages as areas
318
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,160
of value
319
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,079
in order to trade from and how can we
320
00:10:26,079 --> 00:10:27,519
get other confluences
321
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:29,600
from other technical factors that can
322
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,440
really make for some highly profitable
323
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,959
trading opportunities let's dive into
324
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:34,800
the charts and talk about that now
325
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,800
so just as with trend in terms of using
326
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,200
moving averages for areas of value
327
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,560
i would absolutely stick to the 20
328
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:46,240
the 50 and the 200 because these are the
329
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,680
most respected
330
00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:49,760
moving averages by traders around the
331
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,519
world so what you're going to see
332
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:54,480
is a lot of movement in these areas and
333
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,519
the first way
334
00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:58,800
to identify a moving average as an area
335
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,680
of value
336
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,880
is just simply when the market is in a
337
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:03,440
heavy
338
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,399
uptrend the 20 period moving average can
339
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:07,839
act as support
340
00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:10,880
throughout that heavy uptrend until of
341
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,440
course
342
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,920
that trend ends which happens here and
343
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,120
that's why it's important
344
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,200
not to do what i did when i was talking
345
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,320
to you earlier in the video
346
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,839
and just start buying because the
347
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:22,640
market's touching the 20 moving average
348
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,040
no you need a lot more
349
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,440
confluence and a lot of other factors
350
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,320
coming together
351
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,320
in order to make this into a profitable
352
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,000
strategy such as
353
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,360
entry reasons that make sense like
354
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,200
a hammer candle such as
355
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,079
other factors we're going to be
356
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:41,760
discussing in just a second let's move
357
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,320
on now
358
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,480
and talk more about the 50 period moving
359
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,399
average so the 50 period moving average
360
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:47,600
tends to hold up
361
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,360
as support in medium type of trends
362
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,440
but yet again just like with the 20
363
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,360
period moving average when that medium
364
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,800
trend ends
365
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,920
the moving average fails and the 200
366
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,519
moving average which actually acts as
367
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:02,320
support
368
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,120
quite often happens as support for
369
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,399
long-term trends
370
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,399
so this market had been going up for a
371
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:10,000
while started to consolidate
372
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,160
and push down once it hit the 200 moving
373
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,000
average we saw a nice spike
374
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,040
to the upside one way to start looking
375
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040
at moving averages as an objective rule
376
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,399
to a strategy would be
377
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:22,160
to plot all three of these on your
378
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,760
screen and then say when
379
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,480
the moving averages fan out and align to
380
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,279
the upside
381
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:30,880
like they are right now we have space
382
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,320
between the 20 and the 50.
383
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,959
we have space between the 200 and the 50
384
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:36,160
when i get
385
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,639
a touch of my 20 period moving average
386
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,800
and let's say a close above candle like
387
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,680
this right here
388
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,839
that's when i want to place a long trade
389
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:45,839
now you're starting to add confluence
390
00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:48,000
with a nice entry reason and with
391
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,200
multiple
392
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,360
moving averages fanning out in order to
393
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,720
show you that this market
394
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,000
in fact is in an uptrend so you would
395
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,279
have to make your own rules for that
396
00:12:57,279 --> 00:12:58,639
that's not the strategy that i'm
397
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:00,320
teaching today but i'm just trying to
398
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,079
give you an idea as to how you would
399
00:13:02,079 --> 00:13:03,760
start using moving averages
400
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,320
as an objective role in a strategy let's
401
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,800
see if we can get something else here
402
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,320
here we have another situation where we
403
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,160
have fanned out moving averages
404
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,560
and a nice hammer candle right here so
405
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:15,360
there are
406
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,040
plenty of ways to do this your options
407
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,360
are unlimited and it's only
408
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,240
limited by your imagination in terms of
409
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,279
how you use
410
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:24,959
these moving averages to make those
411
00:13:24,959 --> 00:13:27,360
objective rules for a strategy but now
412
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,839
let's talk about confluence so as i
413
00:13:29,839 --> 00:13:31,120
stated earlier
414
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,279
using moving averages by themselves as
415
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,800
an area of value
416
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,600
yes it can help you create a profitable
417
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,760
trading strategy but the more confluence
418
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,560
you add to moving averages the better
419
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,639
off you're going to be the more accurate
420
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:46,079
those trades are going to become
421
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:47,839
and so what i'm going to do now is show
422
00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:49,440
you some of my favorite ways to add
423
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,199
confluence to moving averages
424
00:13:51,199 --> 00:13:52,720
in order to create some of the most
425
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,560
profitable trading opportunities
426
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,240
possible and some of the most accurate
427
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,839
trading opportunities that you could
428
00:13:57,839 --> 00:13:58,480
possibly
429
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,440
get using let's dive into the charts and
430
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,800
talk about it
431
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,800
this is how i like to add confluence
432
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,959
with moving averages and
433
00:14:06,959 --> 00:14:08,720
quite frankly one of my favorite ways to
434
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,160
trade using moving averages
435
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,360
is to do this i wait for the market to
436
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,040
touch the moving average at the time we
437
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,399
are looking at the chart
438
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:19,680
right now this is the 200
439
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,560
period moving average once i touch the
440
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,160
200 period moving average
441
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,600
and i'm gonna show you a live trade of
442
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,760
me actually doing this today i had three
443
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,360
trades doing this one loss
444
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,800
and two wins i'll show you in just a
445
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,720
second but once we touch that moving
446
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,199
average
447
00:14:33,199 --> 00:14:34,880
i'm gonna put a horizontal line there
448
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,480
and actually i'm gonna make this a zone
449
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,079
because support and resistance are not
450
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:39,760
zones right but if i look
451
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,040
left from this zone that i have what do
452
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,880
you see
453
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,680
this is not only the market hitting an
454
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,480
area of
455
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,440
value because of the fact that we are at
456
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,360
the 200 period moving average
457
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,480
we also have that lining up
458
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,440
with previous major structure resistance
459
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,399
and support
460
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:02,160
so one of my favorite ways to add
461
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,519
confluence to
462
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:06,800
moving averages is to say i will not
463
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,440
trade
464
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,000
the 200 period moving average unless
465
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,519
when the market hits the 200 period
466
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:12,399
moving average
467
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:15,519
it also lines up with structure looking
468
00:15:15,519 --> 00:15:18,880
left and then you i'm going to start
469
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,160
talking a little bit about the strategy
470
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:20,480
now
471
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,920
i'll go into full detail after i'd let
472
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,839
you take a look at those live trades but
473
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:25,600
let's talk about the strategy a little
474
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,519
bit right now we know we're in an area
475
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:28,959
of value because of the 200 moving
476
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:29,440
average
477
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,800
we know we're in an area of value
478
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,199
because of this confluence
479
00:15:33,199 --> 00:15:36,000
with our previous level of resistance
480
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,399
that was support in the past as well
481
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:41,040
now what i would be waiting on in this
482
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,959
specific case
483
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:46,399
is a candlestick pattern
484
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:49,680
or some type of selling pressure like we
485
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,800
just saw
486
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,480
right there in order to enter the market
487
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,320
so what i mean by selling pressure
488
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,920
well if you do not see the selling
489
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,519
pressure here then you got to go get
490
00:15:57,519 --> 00:15:58,639
yourself some glasses
491
00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:02,000
this is a long and large wick that came
492
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,399
out of our area sucked all the way back
493
00:16:04,399 --> 00:16:05,040
down
494
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,600
that to me is showing selling pressure
495
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,279
that would be an entry candle when i say
496
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:10,160
selling pressure
497
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,360
again i'm going to talk a little bit
498
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,360
more about a rules based strategy
499
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,199
after i show you the live trades from
500
00:16:15,199 --> 00:16:17,040
today but you could set yourself up
501
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,639
something like this
502
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:21,759
with a 1.41 reward to risk on that with
503
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:23,440
our stop-loss above
504
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,040
that wick and you can see what happens i
505
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,240
say 1.4
506
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,000
obviously pick and choose your targets
507
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,560
the way you would like to for me 1.4 is
508
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:33,680
my first target
509
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,079
then i manage the position on the way
510
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:38,320
down and that is how i like to use
511
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,279
confluence
512
00:16:39,279 --> 00:16:41,519
with moving averages and structure
513
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:43,440
levels in order to point out some of the
514
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,560
most powerful
515
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,880
trading opportunities that exist and
516
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,000
with that being said
517
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,279
what i'm going to do now is let you take
518
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:51,680
a look at a couple of live trades i had
519
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,839
day trades earlier today using this
520
00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:54,720
exact
521
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,800
type of strategy and then we're going to
522
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,639
dive deep into an actual rules-based
523
00:16:58,639 --> 00:16:59,279
strategy
524
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:02,160
you can come away from this video with a
525
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,440
way of trading
526
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,439
that is rules-based objective and that
527
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:06,559
if done correctly
528
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,959
can help you to gain an edge over the
529
00:17:08,959 --> 00:17:09,599
market
530
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:10,959
so with that said take a look at these
531
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:12,640
live trades i will be
532
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,959
right back so as we were just talking
533
00:17:14,959 --> 00:17:16,400
about another way i like to use this
534
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,240
type of confluence is with chart
535
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,599
patterns so if you look on the screen
536
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,319
you can see that we have a double bottom
537
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:23,839
but what's different about this double
538
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:24,640
bottom
539
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,599
well this double bottom is happening at
540
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:29,520
the 50 period moving average so when you
541
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,240
have
542
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,200
an area of value you can combine this
543
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:33,840
price
544
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,480
pattern with it can really increase the
545
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,240
odds of this being a winning trade so
546
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,440
with that being the case this is a trade
547
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,559
we're also going to go ahead and take
548
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:42,240
today chances are i'll probably end up
549
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,440
losing one of these but
550
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,360
i did want to give you guys examples of
551
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:47,600
both of these in live trades let's go
552
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,240
ahead and risk
553
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,640
i might use 0.5 on this one just because
554
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,160
of the margin level
555
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,919
that it allows it only allows for a 25
556
00:17:53,919 --> 00:17:56,480
to 1. only canada swiss for owanda so
557
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,640
i'm going to use 0.5 so that i'm not
558
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,559
super leveraged here
559
00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:03,600
and i'm ready to go so we are involved
560
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,440
in this trade and now what i want to do
561
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,799
is show you guys another trade that's
562
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,559
actually on my radar right now
563
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:10,799
using the same exact strategy so let's
564
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:11,919
take a look at that
565
00:18:11,919 --> 00:18:14,960
live trade as well here we have another
566
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:15,760
example of
567
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,039
using a price pattern at an area value
568
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:21,520
that area value being the moving average
569
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,280
so as we discussed our rules for this
570
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,200
type of price pattern this is an example
571
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,200
going short and for this example we're
572
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,559
looking at a double top so
573
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:30,080
we have our first stop and the rule
574
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,160
would be on that second test of that
575
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,120
resistance level
576
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:34,720
you would want to see that second test
577
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,120
at least touch the 50 period moving
578
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:38,160
average and you don't want to see
579
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:38,799
candles
580
00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:41,120
with space above it this is just how you
581
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,880
would make a rules-based system around
582
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,200
this
583
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,120
what i mean by space above it is you say
584
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,480
you get a green candle that looks like
585
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,039
this
586
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:48,799
if there's nothing touching the 50
587
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:50,240
moving average not even a wick
588
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,360
then you don't want to take that as a
589
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:53,280
double top trade and expect the market
590
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,799
to head lower because that's telling you
591
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:56,320
that we've made it above our area of
592
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:56,880
value
593
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,799
but if candles are clustered around on
594
00:18:58,799 --> 00:19:00,400
that second top or
595
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:01,840
if a candle just touches with the wick
596
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,840
like we have here then that's a pretty
597
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,039
good indication
598
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:06,799
that we could see a fall out of this
599
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:09,679
market and with that being the case
600
00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:11,760
let's see if i can get an entry here on
601
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,360
this trade as well
602
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,039
and let's go with our stop loss which is
603
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:16,960
going to be
604
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,000
about four pips above our stop above
605
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,480
this level over here
606
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,840
because we do have a pretty nice
607
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,320
distance down to our level of support
608
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,240
if this market continues in this
609
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,039
downtrend so we're gonna look for 1.4 on
610
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,080
initial targets
611
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,480
and there we go we are entered into this
612
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,919
trade i'll keep you guys updated as it
613
00:19:35,919 --> 00:19:36,799
plays out
614
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:39,280
i am going to go ahead and close out our
615
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,360
euro yen position here we are
616
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:43,280
at a nice level of support that i was
617
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,799
looking at for targets and
618
00:19:44,799 --> 00:19:46,400
we are going to exit this position for
619
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,840
around a two to one
620
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,200
reward to risk ratio nice trade hey guys
621
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,240
i'm going to go ahead and jump out of
622
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,400
this canada swiss position it's 4 58
623
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,600
right now and the spread's starting to
624
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,000
go
625
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,520
up just a little hint if you are going
626
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,200
to day trade make sure if you're on a
627
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,640
five minute chart that you're not
628
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,760
trading on a pair
629
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,919
that has a large spread at five o'clock
630
00:20:03,919 --> 00:20:05,679
p.m you will be stopped out by nothing
631
00:20:05,679 --> 00:20:07,440
more than the spread alone
632
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,640
so with that being the case i'm going to
633
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,799
close this position for a profit of a
634
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:11,280
hundred
635
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,280
and ten dollars so in order to
636
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,640
turn a moving average into a reliable
637
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,919
rules-based strategy i use a process and
638
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:23,280
a phrase i call
639
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,120
c e s t this stands for
640
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:30,559
conditions entries
641
00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:33,520
stops and targets if you have all of
642
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,520
these as rules and a trading plan then
643
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,600
you will have a rules-based trading plan
644
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,360
that will be easy to follow so
645
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:41,919
for conditions all this means is that
646
00:20:41,919 --> 00:20:44,000
these are the things we look for before
647
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,840
we look for an entry so in the case of
648
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,320
the strategy you're learning right now
649
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,679
what are the conditions for this
650
00:20:49,679 --> 00:20:52,159
strategy simply put we are trading price
651
00:20:52,159 --> 00:20:53,840
action patterns like double bottoms and
652
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,880
double tops
653
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,960
that form at a moving average so
654
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,640
with that being the case the first thing
655
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,480
we're going to look for in our c
656
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,159
e s t is the conditions which are going
657
00:21:06,159 --> 00:21:06,720
to be
658
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,840
we want to see the market above the 50
659
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,480
moving average this is for a buy trade
660
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,919
okay everything would be backwards for a
661
00:21:13,919 --> 00:21:15,679
sale trade before buy trade we want to
662
00:21:15,679 --> 00:21:17,520
see the market above the 50.
663
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,919
the second condition we want to see is a
664
00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:20,799
double
665
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:23,840
bottom now the third condition
666
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,640
is that that double bottom at least
667
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,039
touches the 50 period moving average
668
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:30,880
with one of the bottoms whether that be
669
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,960
the first bottom or the second bottom is
670
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,039
irrelevant but we want the double bottom
671
00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:37,520
to at least touch the 50 period moving
672
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,080
average
673
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,320
once all of those conditions are met we
674
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,919
are ready to work on the entry
675
00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:43,679
so those are all the conditions for our
676
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:45,440
strategy that's what we need to see
677
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,600
before we can try to enter the market
678
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,360
before we can look for an actual entry
679
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:50,080
reason
680
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,240
and for me using price action patterns
681
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,360
like double bottoms
682
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,120
what i like to use for an entry is just
683
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:56,880
a confirmation candle
684
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,799
in the case of a double bottom that
685
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:00,159
would be a green candle
686
00:22:00,159 --> 00:22:02,159
so i'd be looking for a green candle and
687
00:22:02,159 --> 00:22:03,840
also i want that candle
688
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,880
to close above the 50 period
689
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,840
moving average so just a quick overview
690
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,120
we're looking for the market to be
691
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:12,799
over the 50 period moving average we're
692
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:14,240
looking for a double bottom we're
693
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,640
looking
694
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,880
for one of the bottoms of the double
695
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,080
bottom to touch
696
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,000
the 50 period moving average once that
697
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,080
happens we are looking for a green
698
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,480
candle and the entry candle itself
699
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,000
must close above the 50 period moving
700
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,880
average so all of our conditions and
701
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,159
entries are set
702
00:22:32,159 --> 00:22:34,880
at this point how easy does that make
703
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:35,919
trading no more
704
00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:37,440
confusion whenever you look at a chart
705
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,200
you're thinking to yourself man should i
706
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,000
actually trade this
707
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,919
or not we're at support i want to click
708
00:22:41,919 --> 00:22:43,440
the buy button should i do it
709
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,240
no at this point you wait for every
710
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,280
condition to be met
711
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,200
you ask yourself is the market above the
712
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,640
50 period moving average
713
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,640
the answer is yes awesome you ask
714
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,400
yourself did we just create a double
715
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,360
bottom we're going to talk about the
716
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:55,840
rules
717
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,600
for a double bottom in a second you ask
718
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,960
yourself though did we create a double
719
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,840
bottom
720
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,760
yes did one of the bottoms of that
721
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,919
double bottom touch the 50 period moving
722
00:23:03,919 --> 00:23:04,480
average
723
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,559
if the answer is yes you continue the
724
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:08,400
process looking for entries
725
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,080
if you find the entry which is a green
726
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,840
candle you ask yourself
727
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,760
did this green candle close above the 50
728
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:14,880
period moving average
729
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,240
if the answer to all of your questions
730
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,320
is yes you are now ready to
731
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,320
enter the market on a rules-based system
732
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,320
no more confusion at all this is
733
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,159
something that's so powerful and
734
00:23:26,159 --> 00:23:28,880
literally the reason and this is what
735
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,520
took me
736
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,760
from being an inconsistent losing trader
737
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,600
to someone who is consistently
738
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,640
profitable is using the cest now you're
739
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,159
ready to get in the market after all
740
00:23:38,159 --> 00:23:39,679
your conditions and entry is met
741
00:23:39,679 --> 00:23:42,880
as long as you know the next two which
742
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,320
is stops
743
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,559
and targets now for stops and targets
744
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:47,919
because i'm not gonna have a lot of time
745
00:23:47,919 --> 00:23:49,840
to dive deep into them in this video
746
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,200
what i'm going to do
747
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,559
is just do a very simple stop of one a
748
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:58,240
t r below the swing
749
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,600
low and our target is going to be a 1.4
750
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,799
to 1 reward to risk profile based on
751
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:06,640
that stop-loss atr for any of you that
752
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,679
do not know
753
00:24:07,679 --> 00:24:09,360
is the average true range what it does
754
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:11,200
is measures the volatility of the market
755
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,520
based on the last 14 candles i will put
756
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,720
a video i did
757
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,360
on the atr that explains it in full to
758
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:18,159
the top right
759
00:24:18,159 --> 00:24:20,559
side of your screen but now that you
760
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,400
know the conditions entry reason stops
761
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:23,200
and targets
762
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,200
we are using with today's strategy let's
763
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,039
take a look at this canada swiss trade
764
00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:28,320
we had earlier
765
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,919
let's ask ourselves the questions that
766
00:24:29,919 --> 00:24:31,440
are necessary first
767
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,440
is price above the 50 period moving
768
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,039
average yes it is
769
00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:37,039
first condition met do we have a double
770
00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:39,360
bottom well not yet here is the rules
771
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,440
for my double bottoms all i do
772
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,720
very very simply is i place a box
773
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,279
on the lowest body of the first bottom
774
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:49,039
and on the lowest wick of the first
775
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:49,760
bottom
776
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,600
this box is considered my termination
777
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,120
point what i want to see
778
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:55,039
is a candle at least touch this box with
779
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:57,440
a wick the body of the candle can close
780
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:58,559
in this box
781
00:24:58,559 --> 00:25:00,400
the wick of a candle can go below this
782
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,000
box what i do not want to see
783
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,360
is a candle that closes below this box
784
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:06,240
at that point
785
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,840
it's signaling trend continuation to the
786
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,840
downside and i do not want to buy
787
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,159
when i'm thinking trend continuation to
788
00:25:12,159 --> 00:25:14,960
the downside so let's take a look at how
789
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,400
this played out as we push down
790
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,720
do we have a double bottom now yes we do
791
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,159
we have the touch
792
00:25:22,159 --> 00:25:26,159
of our box that classifies as a double
793
00:25:26,159 --> 00:25:28,159
bottom for me what are we looking for
794
00:25:28,159 --> 00:25:29,919
now we have all of our conditions met
795
00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:30,320
right
796
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,159
we're above the 50 we have a double
797
00:25:32,159 --> 00:25:33,360
bottom the double bottom
798
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:36,000
is touching the 50 period moving average
799
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:36,400
next
800
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,400
is our entry what is our entry a green
801
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,520
candle that closes above the 50 period
802
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,480
moving average
803
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,960
so let's see if that's something we get
804
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,520
during this trading opportunity
805
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,000
and guess what if it's not we don't
806
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,960
place the trade
807
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,960
that's how easy this is if we get what
808
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,000
we're looking for
809
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
in terms of the green candle that closes
810
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,679
above the 50 moving average
811
00:25:59,679 --> 00:26:02,080
with all of our other conditions met
812
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,360
then we place the trade
813
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,919
and if we don't then we do not place the
814
00:26:05,919 --> 00:26:06,640
trade
815
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,279
super super easy is that a green candle
816
00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:10,720
pretty easy to recognize right
817
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,120
yes that is a green candle so at this
818
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:13,840
point
819
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,320
i would be entering the trade on the
820
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,840
close of that candle or the open of the
821
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:18,480
next one
822
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,840
they're normally the same thing in the
823
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,520
forex market but
824
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,080
at that point what is our stops one atr
825
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,279
below the swing low
826
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:26,640
of the double bottom right here's the
827
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,799
swing low of the double bottom atr
828
00:26:28,799 --> 00:26:31,520
at this candle is three pips so three
829
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,400
plus four
830
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,520
is a seven pip stop loss
831
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,720
what is our target reward to risk and
832
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,960
our trade is set up now
833
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,960
i want you to think again about how easy
834
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,559
this is once all your rules are met you
835
00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:45,520
just enter the trade
836
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,840
and how much easier trading is going to
837
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,279
be without just
838
00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:51,679
guessing every time you place a trade
839
00:26:51,679 --> 00:26:53,440
right how much easier is it going to be
840
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,559
to have rules
841
00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:56,400
like this conditions entries stops and
842
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,320
targets every single time you place a
843
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,279
trade let's see
844
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:02,799
how this specific trade played out
845
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:04,720
played around a bit near the entry and
846
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,799
eventually pushed up hitting targets
847
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:08,400
again if this trade looks familiar it's
848
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,559
because this is the trade we had earlier
849
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:12,240
and i ended up exiting the trade
850
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,760
because it was 5 p.m for like 110
851
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:20,080
or so now this is all well and good but
852
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,760
one of the most important parts of
853
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,840
having these rules beyond
854
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,039
it helping you stay consistent to your
855
00:27:27,039 --> 00:27:28,080
plan
856
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,880
is you using these rules to take them in
857
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,399
historic data
858
00:27:32,399 --> 00:27:34,880
and test them and practice the strategy
859
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,960
this is a process called back testing
860
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,760
the rules you just got the cest we just
861
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:40,799
discussed
862
00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:43,279
can easily be written down on a piece of
863
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:44,880
paper you can put that piece of paper
864
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,080
beside your computer
865
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,919
beside your keyboard and you can go
866
00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:49,120
through historic data
867
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:51,919
to pass 100 times that those rules were
868
00:27:51,919 --> 00:27:52,559
all met
869
00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:54,640
i'm talking conditions entries stops and
870
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,760
targets go through
871
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,000
a specific currency pair on a specific
872
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:58,960
time frame
873
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,720
let's say the canada swiss five-minute
874
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,240
chart whatever you want to go through
875
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,600
whatever your favorite pair and time
876
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,279
frame is and test
877
00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:08,240
those rules the last one time 100 times
878
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,760
that they happened on a chart
879
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,960
out of those 100 times did this strategy
880
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,080
make a profit and if it did
881
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,000
great that means it's likely to make a
882
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,520
profit in the future there is no
883
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,039
guarantees in forex but
884
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:23,679
it's likely to and if it did not then
885
00:28:23,679 --> 00:28:25,120
that means it's likely not
886
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:26,480
to make a profit in the future and you
887
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,039
have no need to continue trying to trade
888
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:29,520
something
889
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,120
that's not likely to give you an edge
890
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:33,360
not likely to make you profit
891
00:28:33,360 --> 00:28:36,240
over time so the reasons we have all of
892
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,520
these rules in place
893
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,200
the conditions the entries the stops and
894
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,120
targets is not just so we can stay
895
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,200
consistent to the strategy because it's
896
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,640
based around a set of rules
897
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,720
but it's also so we can take those rules
898
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:47,919
and test them
899
00:28:47,919 --> 00:28:50,000
to make sure that the strategy we're
900
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,600
trading does produce
901
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,080
a profit over a long period of time so
902
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,200
now that i've talked about that and went
903
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,559
on my little rant let's dive back into
904
00:28:56,559 --> 00:28:57,200
the charts
905
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,200
and take a look at a bearish version of
906
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,960
the same exact strategy
907
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,640
all right so for a bearish version what
908
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,080
are we going to be looking for
909
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,520
the opposite of what we were just
910
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,279
looking at right we want to see that
911
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:09,919
price is below the 50 moving average we
912
00:29:09,919 --> 00:29:11,600
want to see a double top this time
913
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,039
instead of a double bottom
914
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:16,080
we want to see that one of these
915
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,120
tops touches the 50
916
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,559
moving average as long as one of the
917
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:22,320
tops touch the 50 moving average
918
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,520
our third condition is met and then we
919
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,720
start looking for entries
920
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,880
on a double top it's going to be a red
921
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,640
candle and that red candle needs to
922
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,520
close
923
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,559
below the 50 moving
924
00:29:34,559 --> 00:29:37,120
average so let's see how that plays out
925
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,000
on our screen
926
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,919
right now do we have our first condition
927
00:29:39,919 --> 00:29:42,320
met is the market below the 50 moving
928
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:42,880
average
929
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,880
yes of course it is very easy to tell
930
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,640
that because we're below the blue line
931
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,559
next let's see if we get a double top
932
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,799
there we have it a double top does that
933
00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:54,080
meet all of our rules so
934
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,799
far it does because this double top
935
00:29:56,799 --> 00:29:58,480
similar to how the double bottom was
936
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,880
the box just goes from the top of the
937
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,559
bodies of the first stop
938
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:04,000
to the top of the wick and this is the
939
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,760
same termination termination point
940
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,520
we don't want to see a candle that
941
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,880
closes above
942
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,679
this termination point but we can have a
943
00:30:11,679 --> 00:30:12,240
wick
944
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,039
above it and we can have a body that
945
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:15,760
closes
946
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,679
inside of it so would that be the case
947
00:30:17,679 --> 00:30:19,200
let's push the market forward because
948
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,760
we only have two conditions met we have
949
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,360
a double top that's below
950
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,360
the 50 moving average but our third
951
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,080
condition is that the second top
952
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,320
must touch the 50 moving average which
953
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,679
has not happened yet
954
00:30:31,679 --> 00:30:34,720
so let's continue and there we have it
955
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,919
is this still following my rules
956
00:30:37,919 --> 00:30:39,679
for a double top we don't have a close
957
00:30:39,679 --> 00:30:41,520
above this line so yes it is
958
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,080
is this touching the 50 moving average
959
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:44,880
yes it is
960
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,120
so right now we have all three of our
961
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,320
conditions met and we're looking for
962
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,120
that entry
963
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,360
which is a red candle that closes below
964
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,760
the 50 moving average
965
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,360
move forward my oh my would you look at
966
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,519
that with that being the case do we have
967
00:30:59,519 --> 00:31:01,440
a moment where we can enter the market
968
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,159
based on this rules-based plan this
969
00:31:04,159 --> 00:31:05,279
objective plan
970
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:07,120
that we've created so far in this video
971
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,960
yes we do we enter the market
972
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,399
we have a three pip stop-loss here as
973
00:31:10,399 --> 00:31:13,200
well and above our swing high which is
974
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:13,679
one
975
00:31:13,679 --> 00:31:14,880
i'm gonna do four so that's gonna be
976
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,440
about five pips
977
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,760
actually four pips is fine and a 1.41
978
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,360
reward to risk ratio
979
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,320
right there we have it now let's see how
980
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,279
this specific trade plays out
981
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:28,880
boom immediately pushing down and of
982
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,720
course all trades will not immediately
983
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,000
go to profit all trades won't
984
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,640
even win this is just a way of combining
985
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:35,919
technical factors
986
00:31:35,919 --> 00:31:38,799
getting your confluence and then turning
987
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:40,000
that confluence
988
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,240
into a rules-based trading plan that's
989
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,360
what i wanted to teach you
990
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,799
here at the end of this video is how to
991
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:46,720
turn any technical confluence
992
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,200
like moving averages combined with price
993
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,320
action patterns
994
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,519
into a rules-based trading strategy
995
00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:55,120
you can actually implement you can go
996
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,360
back test you can see if it'll work in
997
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,320
your trading plan
998
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,600
and then decide whether or not you would
999
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,159
like to and if this trade looks familiar
1000
00:32:02,159 --> 00:32:03,760
it is also because it's the euro yen
1001
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,919
trade we had where we took profits right
1002
00:32:05,919 --> 00:32:06,720
down here
1003
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,840
just because it was such a beautiful
1004
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,039
trade let's go ahead and let the market
1005
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:09,840
run
1006
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,159
there we go we had our targets at about
1007
00:32:12,159 --> 00:32:13,360
i think i ended up getting almost a
1008
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,039
three to one i think i said two to one
1009
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:16,559
earlier in the video but i got almost a
1010
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:18,399
three to one on this one and
1011
00:32:18,399 --> 00:32:20,000
with that being the case what i ended up
1012
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,080
having was these were all about
1013
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,080
a 500 risk so i had 500
1014
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,360
times three ish so 1500 on this trade i
1015
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,039
had a negative 500
1016
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:33,760
on the aussie canada trade bring me to a
1017
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:34,480
thousand
1018
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,679
plus i had the 110 dollar win because of
1019
00:32:37,679 --> 00:32:38,960
the 5 p.m
1020
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,840
candle on the cat twist bringing my
1021
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,360
grand total using this
1022
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,679
to a thousand one hundred and ten
1023
00:32:45,679 --> 00:32:47,120
dollars now that is not
1024
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,120
again any guarantee i just wanted to add
1025
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,559
it up on the screen to show you the
1026
00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:51,279
power of
1027
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:53,279
just winning two trades out of three and
1028
00:32:53,279 --> 00:32:55,360
having a decent reward to risk
1029
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,159
ratio lastly we are going to take a look
1030
00:32:58,159 --> 00:33:00,720
at the losing trade
1031
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,559
okay another bearish trade here so let's
1032
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:05,039
count out what we need to do for
1033
00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:08,080
our c e s t
1034
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,080
what conditions do we need price below
1035
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,760
the 50 is that happening yes
1036
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,000
do we have a double top not yet so we
1037
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,360
would have to sit on our hands in this
1038
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,039
case we're using replay mode so we can
1039
00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:18,640
just push the market forward which is
1040
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,240
very very easy now
1041
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,880
until we get a double top do we have a
1042
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,039
double top now well if i put my box i
1043
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:26,240
don't actually have to do this
1044
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,559
because i've been trading this type of
1045
00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:29,760
strategy for so long
1046
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,760
but i'll put the box on here for those
1047
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,080
of you who need it and if i put that box
1048
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,640
on the previous high then you can see
1049
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,760
that yes
1050
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,559
we do have a double top does this double
1051
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:41,200
top
1052
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,760
touch my 50 period moving average yes it
1053
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,840
does with that being the case are all of
1054
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,919
my conditions met
1055
00:33:47,919 --> 00:33:50,320
yes they are so what i'm looking for now
1056
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,080
that all my conditions are met
1057
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,279
is a red candle that closes below the 50
1058
00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:57,840
period moving average let's check that
1059
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:58,320
out
1060
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,120
a couple of candles later or one candle
1061
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,279
later we end up getting that entry
1062
00:34:03,279 --> 00:34:06,320
let's go with a position as soon as that
1063
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,239
entry happens our stop loss
1064
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,839
is going to be three pips above the
1065
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:12,399
swing high four or actually that's about
1066
00:34:12,399 --> 00:34:15,119
five five plus three is going to be
1067
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:15,839
eight
1068
00:34:15,839 --> 00:34:18,000
eight with a one point four to one risk
1069
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,800
reward looks something like this and
1070
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,480
check out what happens
1071
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,079
well consolidation mostly and then
1072
00:34:28,079 --> 00:34:31,599
oh my steven this trade lost
1073
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:33,839
yeah the trade lost guess what it
1074
00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:35,199
happens in trading
1075
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:36,960
and i know it sucks it's not fun to deal
1076
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,800
with trust me i didn't want to lose
1077
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,839
500 but that's going to be a part of
1078
00:34:41,839 --> 00:34:43,199
trading and that's why
1079
00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:45,520
the third step in becoming a profitable
1080
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:46,960
trader is so important
1081
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,560
actually it's the second step in my
1082
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,000
triangle of trading success
1083
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
i'll put a screenshot of that somewhere
1084
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,839
and the second step is having a solid
1085
00:34:53,839 --> 00:34:55,040
risk management plan
1086
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,480
these losses are going to happen no
1087
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,000
matter what kind of trading plan you
1088
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:58,400
have
1089
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,680
no matter what kind of guru you're
1090
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,760
following no matter what kind of trades
1091
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,560
you're placing
1092
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,040
you will have losses your job as a
1093
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,720
professional trader treating as trading
1094
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:07,760
like a business
1095
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,960
is to make sure those losses do not
1096
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,480
affect your emotions in a way
1097
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,480
that you can no longer stay consistent
1098
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,079
to a strategy that otherwise
1099
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:17,520
would have made you money over a long
1100
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,119
period of time so
1101
00:35:19,119 --> 00:35:20,640
let's take this for example you take
1102
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,880
this strategy you go out in the aussie
1103
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,359
canada five-minute chart and you see
1104
00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:27,119
that out of the past 100 trades
1105
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:30,240
it made money i just a relevant amount
1106
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:31,440
let's say it made money
1107
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:32,880
and it made enough money to where you
1108
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,960
want to put this into your trading plan
1109
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:35,920
so you do so
1110
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,280
and now you're trading it with live
1111
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,200
money and then
1112
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,119
the day comes that you need a little
1113
00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:42,880
extra money for gas you need some beer
1114
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,400
money you need whatever
1115
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,560
the money is you need it for that's your
1116
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:47,520
business not mine
1117
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,599
but you need money so you decide okay
1118
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:51,920
well today instead of taking a normal
1119
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,000
one percent risk or maybe two percent
1120
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,280
risk whatever you're used to
1121
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,880
you decide you're going to risk 10
1122
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,359
percent because you need extra money
1123
00:35:59,359 --> 00:36:01,520
and risking that 10 percent that trade
1124
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,520
loses because it happens
1125
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,880
right losses do occur and now
1126
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,079
you are sitting there 10 percent down
1127
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:11,839
after one trade because you did not
1128
00:36:11,839 --> 00:36:13,760
stick to a risk management plan that was
1129
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,320
solid
1130
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,320
even worse than that what if you risk 10
1131
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,240
every single trade the strategy like
1132
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:18,800
this
1133
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,359
might have five losses in a row or more
1134
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:23,280
five losses in a row
1135
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,119
risking ten percent per trade which is
1136
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:26,560
what a lot of beginners do
1137
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,079
because they're in that get rich quick
1138
00:36:28,079 --> 00:36:29,599
mindset and they're just ready
1139
00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:32,160
to make money and trust me i get it i
1140
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:33,760
came in in the same exact way
1141
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,599
and it's not necessarily your fault
1142
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:36,880
there's nothing wrong with wanting to
1143
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:38,000
make money
1144
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,800
but forex is a market
1145
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,839
that doesn't have sympathy
1146
00:36:45,839 --> 00:36:48,560
it will take every bit of the money you
1147
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,920
are willing to give it and if you're
1148
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:50,720
sitting there
1149
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:52,480
risking too much per trade then that is
1150
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,400
you willing to give the market your
1151
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,680
money and i don't want to see you doing
1152
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:56,800
that so be sure
1153
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,119
that you not only back test this to see
1154
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:00,800
and ensure that it actually makes a
1155
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:01,440
profit
1156
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,560
over time but also that you have a
1157
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,359
solid risk management plan inside of
1158
00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:08,560
your trading plan
1159
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,480
