order to increase your win rate and trade this accurately so if that sounds good to you stick around to the end of the video so that you do not miss the live examples cuz I'm going to be sharing secret Source when it comes to real charts if you are looking at taking your trading to the next level I highly recommend this mentorship program this isn't just another course this is an absolute GameChanger mentorship where I walk with you every single step of the journey you can learn directly from me a professional full-time Trader that has made multiple six figures from Trading you can

benefits included with the program that you are welcome to go ahead and look at in this after this video don't take my word for it just look at the results that the members are busy getting people are getting funded people are changing their perspective on the market cuz I'm showing them how these prices book actually how does the market work and I'm teaching them how to fish I'm not just giving them a rod I'm showing them how price moves to equip them with a skill that can pay them for their life this is an honestly a non-nonsense approach to trading education so if you're ready to take the leap into professional trading look no further this this mentorship program is designed for you so when it comes to the rules of this strategy what are they first of all I want you to go ahead to the 800 a.m. candle look for this candle on the 1 hour time frame and then as soon as you mark out the 8 a.m. candle as soon as it prints wait for it to close and then as soon as the candle closes I want you to go ahead and draw out the high of the candle and draw out the low of the candle it is important to note that it must be the 8 a.m. New York time candle as soon as this candle closes that is when we start looking for our trades so what are we doing rule number one we Mark out the high and the low of the candle so this candle closes at 900 a.m. which starts our new 9 a.m. candle now when that happens I want you to wait for either the high of the candle or the low of the candle to get rated when that happens I want you to drop to the 5 minute time frame okay here we have a split this will be the 5 minute time frame this will be the 1 minute time frame so on the hourly this is the hourly time frame on the hourly time frame Mark out the high Mark out the low of the 8: a.m. candle then you drop to the 5 minute time frame do you wait for a sweep of the high or the low of this candle on the five minute then what I want you to do I don't want you to just trade a market structure shift with a fair value Gap don't do that what I want you to do is wait for a 5minute candle body to close back into the range so how that will look like is the following you mark out the high we have a 5minute candle that takes out the high and then I want you to wait for a 5 minute candle body closure back into the range as soon as that happens that's when we drop to the one minute time frame looking for a liquidity sweep and then a change in the state of delivery so here we have our 1 minute time frame we are waiting remember we have this candle body closure which will be this here this will be a bearish 5 minute candle body closure we have that and then we go to the 1 minute time frame we wait for the market to print swing highs because we are selling because we took out the buy side liquidity of this candle we are selling now we wait for the market to print swing highs and we wait for a liquidity sweep on the 1 minute time frame when that happens then we wait for the B the series of up closed candles that took out liquidity we wait for those up closed candles to get closed below that is our entry criteria and that is where we will take our position so just to recap we are waiting for on the 5 minute time frame we are waiting for a sweep of the high or the low as soon as that happens we stay on the 5minute time frame and we wait for a body closure back into the range here we can see we have that nice engulfing candle back into the range when that happens we drop to the 1 minute time frame and we wait for a swing High to print that gets raided after that happens we wait for the formation of an order block and that will be the series of up Clos candles that took out this liquidity we wait for those up close candles to get close below that would be my valid change in the state of delivery where's come on that would be my valid change in the state of delivery that is a rules for our trade that is what I want you to wait for before taking a position so what is going to invalidate our setup remember I want you to Mark out the candle high and I want you to Mark out the candle low as soon as you've done that I want you to drop to the 5 minute time frame and we look for that body closure back into the range if this just carries on running like we do here and we don't get that body closure we do have Wicks going back into the range but we don't have a body closure back into the range this becomes invalid looking at a bullish example we have our 8 a.m. low let's go here uh bullish close the market comes down grabs the low so we are looking for buy trades if the 5minute candles Wicks back into the range but we do not close with a body closure back into the range so how that will look like is we have that candle low we have a body that closes outside of the range and a wick that goes into the range if we fail to close back into the range that is going to invalidate our setup we want to wait for those 5 minute chart the 5 minute candles to close back into the range and so finally we are talking about the fun stuff where are we going to take profit and where are we going to put our stop- loss so remember we have this candle High We sweep liquidity and we get this 5 minute chart body closure back into the range then we dropped to the one minute time frame so on this side this will be the one minute uh time frame then we are marking out our swing highs because we are waiting for a liquidity sweep so we Mark out the first swing high that was created the market goes and it runs liquidity above this swing High giving me a new high then what am I waiting for I am waiting for the series of upos candles that took out this liquidity to get closed below this is my valid change in the state of delivery and we take our entry on the retest of this order block that was created here I know it sounds confusing but it will make more sense next when I go to the Chart example so don't miss out on that then we take our entry on the retest of this aut block stop loss goes above this swing high and I want you to Target a straightforward to R for every trade because that will make your probabilities so much easier to play out on your favor Target a straightforward to R now when it comes to trade management how do you manage your trade I want you to wait for 2 R to get hit as soon as 2 R hits every single time we close through up close candles forming opposing candles you place your stop loss above the high so if this Market carries on running every time we close through opposing candles we place our stop above the high we close through opposing candles we place our stop above the high that is how I want you to manage your position so here here we have our first example on gbpusd on the 1 hour time frame and guys you can trade this with any asset it works with indices it works with currencies it works with crypto but please make sure to do your own back testing before trading this live now let's play this day out to wait for that 8 a.m. candle to print we can see that here we have the start of New York session and here we have that 8 a.m. candle please take note that all times are UTC minus 5 or Easter Standard Time you can also see that we sweep out buy side liquidity and so we have a narrative now that prices are seeking sell side we do have this internal range liquidity that this Market can go ahead and grab if it um seeking external back down to internal and so here we have a bias that formed now what do we do we Mark out the 8 a.m. candle high and we go ahead and we Mark out the 8:00 a.m. candle low now I want you to drop to the 5 minute time frame and here we have that high here we have that low here we have that buy side liquidity sweep so we can go ahead and make mark this buy side liquidity now we are waiting for a 5minute candle body to close back into the range and the reason why I wait for that is because it keeps us out of losing trades it keeps us out of false signals so we are just playing this forward waiting for a 5-minute candle to close into the range here we have that 5minute candle that Clos closes into the range so now we drop to the 1 minute time frame after we drop to the 1 minute time frame let me just clean this up here we can see we have that 5 minute um that 1 minute chart this candle was at 5 Minute body closure now what do we do now we wait for a swing High to get taken cuz we waiting for a liquidity sweep we are just playing price forward waiting for that liquidity sweep we don't get the sweep yet and there what do we get if I zoom in here you can see that we taken out that liquidity level on the 5 minute time frame so marking that out as our liquidity now what do we wait for now I want you to wait for the series of up Clos candles that took out liquidity to get closed below that will be my order block so we are waiting for prices to close through this up close candle and here we go here we have the formation of the this bullish order block bearish order block excuse me we take an entry on the retest of this order block stop loss goes one pip above the swing High just want to get that 7.5 Pips and we target our first Target is a 2 to one and then only then you can start managing your position if you like to now we are tapped into our trade let's see what happens prices run and we are out of our trade now we can see here that we close through the series of up Clos candles so we can move our stop loss to this High I'm just going to mark this a red line this will be my stop loss line so we can get an accurate representation of our um R gain on this trade now you can either go break even or you can take partials at 2 r or you can take everything off at 2 R I personally take everything off at 2 R and I move on to the next trade but this is up to you to decide we are waiting for up close candles to get closed below we don't have that yet playing price forward here we have up close candles that got closed below marking this black line so our stop loss moves to this High playing price forward here we have up close candles that got close below so our stops move to this High playing and there we gets stopped out so your first position will be a 2 R and your second position will will get taken out at a 1.51 r trade but again that's up to you to decide I'm personing like everything off at 2 to one R so here we have our next example and this is just the following day yesterday we had that trade here that I shared now that little um short to our trade now we have now we're on the next day so we let Price play and do its thing and we are waiting for the 8:00 a.m. candle to print let's see if we get that we do get sorry I did go um a little bit too far let me just move this back to the 8 a.m. candle zooming in here we have that 8 a.m. candle printed so Mark out the low of the candle Mark out the high of this candle just want to move this back okay now I want you to drop to the 5 minute time frame here we have the candle High here we have the candle range low so we are waiting for a sweep of either the high or the low let's play price forward here we can see we sweep the high and we close back into the range that is very important now we go to the 1 minute time frame and we are looking for a swing High to print currently we only have this swing High that we can use as a liquidity Point letting this play forward waiting for a new swing High to print here we go we have a swing High printed on this candle so I can move this down which you're not going to see it but we are waiting for this swing High to get taken here we see the swing High gets taken so now what are we waiting for we waiting for these series of up closed candles to get closed below in order to validate my order block now we are just waiting for that to happen doesn't happen we move up and we push through into a new Range plus everything has to happen before 10:00 playing price forward and here we are almost on 10:00 yet and there we have hit 10:00 without creating a new order block and we can see that we do not have a trade here here is a beautiful example of how we can how this gets invalidated so we stay out of losing trades so now just moving on to the next day waiting for price to print and we are waiting for that 800 a.m. candle to come here we have the 6 7 a.m. here we have our 800 a.m. candle now what are we doing we are marking the candle high and we are marking the candle low dropping to the 5 minute time frame let's see what we can get now we are waiting for a sweep of the low or the high of this candle range now playing price forward let's wait for a sweep here we get a sweep do we close back in the range no we don't but if you go to the 1 minute time frame and you can see that we also don't form anything that we can consider good dropping back to the 5 minute we are waiting for a candle body to close back into the range showing us Direction here we get a candle body closing into the range and this is where we drop back to the 1 minute time frame now what are we waiting for guys we are waiting for a sweep of a swing low here we have a swing low here we have a swing low we are waiting for this Market to come and sweep it give me my change in set of delivery where I can take my entry and Target the high of this candle so they've can just play price forward waiting for a sweep do we get a sweep yes we do we get that liquidity sweep so we waiting for a closure above these down closed candles to confirm the move up did we get that no we sweep this so I can go ahead and delete that we sweep this I can mark that as my liquidity we sweep liquidity now we're waiting again waiting for this to get closed above in order to validate my order block do we get a closure not yet and what do we get here here we get a closure above validating this as my order block that is where I can take my entry on the retest stop loss goes slightly below the low and we can talk a 2 R to take partials on playing this forward we get a tap into our trade and we let this trade run until we hit to R there you go here we've hit two R and we've also closed above these down close candles but why isn't this valid for me because this is the high I need new down closed candles to form now that get closed above so I can move my stop loss to this low that is what I'm waiting for so let's wait for down close candles to form here we get a down Clos candle so my stop loss gets moved to this point that is where my stop loss is at we let this thing play out and there you go we get stopped out so if you held this you would have made 2.21 r on this trade guys I hope you enjoyed today's video I hope you found the video helpful and insightful as always if you found this video
