Heads up: this strategy was originally created for the US stock market. We applied the exact same logic to Indian stocks & indices and the backtest completed successfully — every result below is on Indian market data.

Why 3.0/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)

  • A real but modest per-trade edge: +0.14R across 8,243 trades
  • Convex payoff 5.8 — winners far bigger than losers
  • Only 20% of trades win — the rare big winners must keep showing up
  • 4 of 9 tested years were negative (2018, 2022, 2025, 2026) — the edge is regime-dependent
  • Max drawdown -35% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way

This scalping strategy consistently gets me days like this, like this, and like this. And a special type of candlesticks called Heikin-Ashi candlesticks are the only reason why it works so well. So, in this video, I'm going to walk you through how Heikin-Ashi candlesticks work. I'm going to give you guys my exact six-step checklist that uses them, as well as multiple trade examples. And then, I'm going to show you guys the actual stats from 2 weeks of actually trading this strategy. Now, look, it's important that you understand that trading is not a get-rich-quick thing. And honestly, it took me over 3 years to get to the point that I'm at right now. But, if I had to start over and if I completely forgot everything I knew, and I only had to trade one scalping strategy, this is the exact one that I would use. So, with that being said, let's hop into it. Now, I have to be honest, most scalping strategies fail for a few reasons. There's no checklist, you over trade, you have too many indicators, and there's no structure around the way that you're actually scalp trading. This strategy changes all of that, and it's honestly all because of how Heikin-Ashi candlesticks are built. Now, in a second, I'm going to go over what exactly Heikin-Ashi candlesticks are, how to use them, and also how they're different and much better than the regular candlestick charts that you're used to. But first, I have to tell you why I even got into using Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. It's because when I first started off trading, I thought that trading had to be super complicated. I thought I needed a bunch of screens, I thought I needed to trade with 30 different indicators, I thought I needed to over complicate it so much, but when I started actually trading and actually seeing the results, is when I simplified things. So, that's why in this video, I'm going to simplify everything for you, so you have no excuses and you don't have to go through the type of pain and struggle and heartbreak that I had to go through. So, with that being said, let's dive in it. All right, so let's go over my Heikin-Ashi scalping strategy. It's six simple steps that when I follow this and as I've been following it for the past what 3 years now, this thing has absolutely printed me money. Now, first of all, what is Heikin-Ashi? Heikin-Ashi in Japanese means average bar. It's a very different way of looking at candlesticks and looking at price action than the regular and typical candlesticks that you're used to. So, each Heikin-Ashi candlestick uses the average of where the price currently is and the average of the previous prices as well. This is extremely important when you're trading any strategy because it stops you from getting faked out, it stops you from getting getting false signals, it just does so much that allows you to actually see what's really going on and what the market really wants to do. Now, the next point is that it smooths out the noise so that the trend is way easier to see. We all know we should be trading in the direction that the trend is going. We should never try and go against the trend because that will cause you to actually lose way more trades for no reason. Using Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, it smooths it out so that the trend, like I said, is much easier to see, much simpler to realize. It has the same green and red colors as you'll see on regular candlesticks. Obviously, you can change it on your TradingView charts and we'll get into looking at the Heikin-Ashi candlesticks a little bit later on in this video, but it just shows you cleaner and more connected candles. The reason why I personally use it and why I teach it to a lot of my students is because with Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, trends are obvious, pullbacks are also obvious, and then reversals are able to show up and you're able to spot them a lot faster. No matter if you're a complete beginner or you're an experienced trader. So, with regular candlesticks, they have their place, but if I'm being honest, most of the time they're super noisy and they're super choppy and they confuse a lot of people. Every candle is its own random thing, they're not really connected. Trends can get hidden by fake outs. I explained to you that Heikin-Ashi kind of solves that issue. And then pullbacks are also hard to spot because there's so much going on when it comes to regular candlesticks. With Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, it's extremely smooth and the price action is clean. The candlesticks connect. The trends on the charts just jump out at you. You have different looking candlesticks which show you what price is actually doing, meaning you have flat top candlesticks or flat bottom candlesticks which you'll see later on inside this video, but that is simple, clean pullback signals. There's much less noise which equals much less second-guessing and honestly a way less emotional way of trading. The bottom line is that with Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, you have the same price data. It's just easier to read. That's literally the entire point when it comes to trading Heikin-Ashi. So, before we hop into this six-step checklist, here's just a key things you need to know um and what you need to have and have on your charts to be uh ready to trade this strategy. So, the first thing we already went over it. Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. Now, later on this video, every single thing that we go over on this little PowerPoint that I beautifully and wonderfully made, everything we go over on it, I'm going to show you it live on the charts as well, but I want you guys to have this so you can see it clearly on uh the screen before we go into the charts. So, like I said, first thing you need to do is actually be on Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. So, switch from regular candlesticks to Heikin-Ash. You need one indicator for this strategy. That's it. You don't need 30 different indicators, just one indicator. It's called the EMA. By default, you'll be on the 9 EMA, but you'll go into settings and switch that to 100. I'll show you how to do that uh later on inside this video. And then the time window when I usually trade this, because it is a scalping strategy, you really want to trade it during the highest volume time window of the day. Now, usually the highest volume time window of the day is from like 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The reason I say 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. is because 9:00 a.m. can be still deciding what direction it wants to go in. Like, usually the stock market opens at 9:30. Well, all the time the stock market opens at 9:30 Eastern Standard Time and then that kind of sets the trend. We want to be able to follow the trend and see what the trend is. That's why we don't want to trade it early before the trend hasn't even been realized for the day. So, that's why the time window I like to trade it from is from 10:00 a.m. up until 12:00 p.m. After 12:00 p.m. volume slows down and scalping with no volume does not work. So, yeah, let's hop into just step one. So, we kind of already went over this, but it's the chart setup. We need to switch from regular candlesticks to Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. We need to add the 100 EMA. We need to trade only between that period. That's all we have to do for the first step. Now, I want you guys to notice something, this white line right here on the drawing that I have, that is my EMA. And we'll go into that on the live charts as well. I just want you guys to be aware of that when you see that. Now, we need to identify market structure. The reason we're looking at this white line, which is the EMA, is because we want to trade in the trend, which I've mentioned, or trading in the direction of the trend, which I've mentioned like 400 times at this point in the video. Um and an easy way of seeing where the trend is going is by simply looking at the EMA. If we're above the EMA, we're only looking for buys. If we're below the EMA, we're only looking for sells. If price keeps going up and down kind of on the EMA, this is a no trade zone. That means there's no trend and we're not trading that. We have to trade with the trend, not against it. And the EMA is the line in the sand that helps us see exactly which way we should be trading. So, in this analogy right here, we see we're below the EMA, so we would only be looking for sells. That's step number two. Step number three is we're simply waiting for a clean pullback. Now, what a clean pullback looks like, it looks like at least two of the same color flat side Heikin-Ashi candlesticks against the trend. Now, simply what that means is if we're looking for sales, we want to see a pullback of at least two flat bottom Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. That signifies that price is going up. Essentially, it is pulling back. Cuz if we're going down, we want to see a pullback to the upside before we continue. And I'll show you why later on inside this video. But in buys, in order for it to be considered a clean pullback, we want to see at least two flat top Heikin-Ashi candlesticks before it starts pulling down. If we have no clean pullback, we're not trading it. We're skipping it. If it's a choppy pullback and it has wicks on the top and the bottom of the candlesticks, that's not a clean pullback. We are skipping it. Step number four is we're waiting for our entry. We're waiting for a high volume doji candlestick. Now, I'll show you guys what this looks like on the charts. Um you see examples of it right be easier once we actually go on the chart. But a doji is simply a candlestick that has a small body with long wicks on the top and the bottom. And what signifies it as high volume is when that doji candlestick is bigger than the candlestick before it or the one before that one. And I'll show you guys examples of that in a second, like I said. Now, the reason we're waiting for a high volume doji candlestick is cuz this is giving us our entry. This is showing us when we see a doji, a doji is symbolizing that the market is indecisive and it's about to reverse. So, if the market is selling down and then price pulls up, gives us a pullback, but we know ultimately it's going to continue going to the downside, we'd wait for that pullback to happen, and then wait for that Heikin-Ashi doji candlestick to show, which shows uncertainty and reversal, and then when we get that doji, we'd enter and price will usually reverse to the downside. But that goes into step number five. So, as soon as that high volume doji candlestick closes, keep in mind, this is all done on the 1-minute time frame. We're not looking at any other time frame. I do not care about the 5-minute, the 4-hour, the daily, the weekly chart. I don't care about any of that. We're only looking at the 1-minute time frame, and we're entering on the 1-minute time frame as soon as that doji candlestick, the high volume doji candlestick, closes. And then, for buys, our stop loss is going to go right below the doji's bottom wick, which we're about to go over in a second. We're about to show you guys examples of in a second. So, if we enter the stop loss is going to go below the dojis that we actually entered on, the lowest wick of the doji that we actually entered on. For sells, which in this example is for sells, the stop loss is going to go right above the doji's top wick. So, you see, we would have entered right here. The doji is up here. So, we'd have our stop loss right above this candlestick right here. And then, for our take profit, which is step six, we're going for at least a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio, meaning if we risk 100 bucks, we're going to make 100 bucks if it hits our take profit. So, I always go for at least a 1:1. A lot of my traders inside the inner circle do hold it for longer, like to 2:1 or 3:1, but you just have to be aware if you do hold it longer, cuz a lot of times it will go further than a 1:1, but if you do hold it longer, just be aware that uh the win weight the win rate What did I say? Win weight? Sound like a baby. The win rate will drop if you try and hold it longer. But, that's just something to keep in mind. The goal with this, again, it's a scalping strategy. It's to be in and out within a few minutes. It's not to be sitting here all day waiting for it to hit a freaking 30:1 risk-to-reward ratio trade. But, here's the checklist right now. You can print this off. You can, I don't know, tattoo it on your right hand or something like that. That was my left hand. On your right hand, whatever it is, just to help you have it and make sure you're following it. If you skip out on any of these steps in the checklist, this strategy will not perform as well as it will if you stick to it. I've noticed that I've tried changing so many things with it. This is a strategy that I've used and perfected over 3 years now. At this point, I can assure you that this checklist right here has saved me from so many losses by just following the six-step checklist. But that's the whole strategy, six steps, one indicator, one window at a time. With that being said, let's actually go into the charts so we can see how this looks in live action. I'm going to show you guys a bunch of examples as well. And then we'll also go over the back tested results so you guys can see the actual data behind how the strategy works if you would have traded it for 2 weeks. All right. So here we are on the charts. The first step, as I mentioned, is we need to go on Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. We can't be on regular candlesticks. So how we do that on TradingView, and you can do this on really any trading platform you use, but on TradingView, you would hit the this little drop-down next to the candlestick icon. You'd press it. Then you just search for Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. Once you press it, I want you guys to look at the candlesticks and how they change. Just like that, the candlesticks look a lot smoother, a lot cleaner. Now let me run through what these candlesticks mean and the difference between them. We kind of talked about them a little bit, but I just want to give you guys an example on the charts. So you'll notice here that you'll see candlesticks that have no wicks on the top. As you see in these examples right here, there's no wicks on the top. If we're fast-forwarding to when we talked about um clean pullbacks are either candlesticks that have no wick on the top or no wick on the bottom, this is what I'm referring to. But again, just talking about Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. So they work very similar to regular candlesticks, meaning the wick of the body or the wick of the candlestick is where price has been throughout that candlestick. The difference is though, for example, with these green candlesticks, the body is not where price closed at. On regular candlesticks, the body is where price closed at. On Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, the body is the average of where price has been throughout this entire candlestick. So, this candlestick right here could have closed down here. But, because it was up here for a long period of time and up here at one point for a decent amount of time, this right here, where the body is, is the average of where price has been throughout this entire candlestick. You can see how this can be extremely beneficial to you if you're trading any type of breakouts, if you're looking for any type of confirmation that price is actually going in a specific direction versus just randomly wicking up there at the last second of the candlestick. But, that's really one of the main differences. Another difference is that you'll notice on bullish candlesticks, which are these green candlesticks, that each candlestick's body, the bottom of it, starts at the middle of the candlestick before it. So, this candlestick right here and this candlestick right here, you'll notice that the bottom of it starts at the middle of the body of the candlestick before this one. Same thing with this candlestick right here, the body starts at the middle of the candlestick before it. Same thing with bearish candlesticks or candlesticks that sold down, the top of the body always starts at the middle of the candlestick before it. And then, the same thing vice versa with the bottom of the body. That's not where price closed at. This is the average of where price has been throughout this entire candlestick. So, that explains kind of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks and what's the main difference between those and regular candlesticks. That's how it is able to smooth out price so much more than regular candlesticks. Like, if we look at this trend to the downside right here, this is Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. If we go to regular candlesticks, you can see that this is a lot choppier. You see wicks up to the top, you see it changed colors, you see this is super super wiky. But, on regular candlesticks, it just looks like a smooth trend to the downside. So, another huge benefit of Heikin-Ashi candlesticks that I personally love. Now, another thing that I just want to point out again since we're on the charts, we talked about doji candlesticks. A doji candlestick, as I mentioned, is a candlestick with small body, a skinny body, with long wicks on the top and long wicks on the bottom. This is exactly how doji candlesticks look on regular candlesticks, and they look exactly the same on Heikin-Ashi candlesticks. But, as I mentioned, we have our We're getting our chart set up. So, the first step was getting Heikin-Ashi candlesticks, and I just explained how they work for you guys. But, remember, we need to add our indicator on there so we know to look for either buys or sells. So, all we do is press indicators right here, and we're going to type in the EMA. You're going to see it right here titled Moving Average Exponential. Just press it. You're going to see this blue line come up on your chart. You can either double-click it, or you can hover over it right here where it says EMA 9. Press this little settings button, and then we need to change our settings because, as I mentioned before, this EMA by default is a 9 EMA. We need it to be a 100 EMA. And how we change that is we just go to inputs right here, next to length, instead of it being nine, just change it to 100. Super simple. You'll see it move all the way up here. And then, under style, I personally hate blue. I don't hate blue, but I don't want blue on my charts. So, I'll just change it to white. This doesn't matter. You can change it to any color you want. It doesn't matter as long as you change that input. But, I'll just change mine to white, and I'll just press okay. Now, once we know, okay, we see that we're under the EMA, right? So, we're only looking for sells. Now, let's get into the checklist where we actually start looking for our entries. We know we're under the EMA. Now, we're looking for pullback. Just to be give you guys a quick example of kind of what the strategy is. This is a pullback strategy, meaning we're catching the trend and entering on a pullback. So, if we know the markets are going down, we know that the markets never just go straight down. They'll go down, up a little bit, down, up a little bit, down, up a little bit, right? We're catching it after it had this pullback before it continues going in the overall direction, which is down. So, we're simply seeing that price is going down, waiting for our pullback. That's what we're waiting for with those clean Heikin Ashi candlesticks, at least two of them. And then, we're waiting for that doji candlestick that tells us, "Okay, that's the end of the pullback. We're about to continue to the downside. Let's hop into our trade." That's simply what the strategy is and how we're capitalizing on it. This is the picture that we want to see, and how we see that and are able to look at that is with all the different steps that we just went over. So, we're below the EMA, so we're looking for sells. Now, we're just waiting for a pullback. We want at least two green candlestick pullbacks, just like this. We had two right here. This one is not a clean candlestick pullback because we do have a wick on the bottom, but that's fine. We already have two clean candlestick pullbacks to the downside. Now, we're waiting for a doji candlestick that tells us that price is about to reverse and continue going back in the overall direction, which in this example is down. Look what we have here, a doji candlestick. We have a very small body and long wicks on the top of the bottom, which signifies that it is a doji candlestick. Now, remember, it can't just be any doji candlestick. It has to be a high-volume doji candlestick. And I told you guys high volume simply means that the size of the candlestick itself has to be bigger than the candlestick before that one or the candlestick before that one. So, this candlestick, if we draw this blue box around it, we can see that it is this big. If we put it up to the candlestick before it, we see that it's bigger than that one, and we see that it's bigger than the candlestick before it. But, it doesn't have to be bigger than both of them as long as it's bigger than one of the last two candlesticks, you're good. So, once we see that, and as soon as price closes, we would enter our trade. We'd put our stop loss right above the candlestick that we entered on, just like that. And then we're dragging our take profit until risk/reward ratio says one. Once we did that, we're in the trade, and we're simply just waiting for price to hit our take profit. And as we see, this ended up hitting our take profit within the matter of 9 minutes. In and out this trade within 9 minutes. A super simple strategy that allowed us to capitalize and make money by just scalping for a few minutes. Now, you'll notice you'll get a couple setups of these a day. Like if we scroll forward, we see another setup happened right here. We're below the EMA. We see price bought up. We have at least two clean candlestick pullback. We actually have one, two, and three right here. So, we could enter on this high-volume doji candlestick. This candlestick is bigger than this one. We'd enter on it for a sell. Stop loss above the candlestick that we entered on. And then take profit going for a one-to-one risk-to-reward ratio. This trade ended up hitting even faster. This hit within 3 minutes. In and out this trade, super, super simple. This is two sell examples. But I want to go over a few more examples for you guys, just so you guys understand exactly what it is that you're looking at, and you know what to look for to backtest it. And I do suggest every single person backtest their strategy. This is one of the things that I talk about so much, and I try and put into my students inside my inner circle. I try and put this in inside of their mind so much that they really have to put a lot of time into backtesting, regardless if it's my strategy or another strategy they found on social media or one that they made up. Backtest every strategy until you've gotten to at least 300 trades. If you don't know what my inner circle is, it is where I trade live every single morning. Not just me, but four other extremely profitable coaches. You don't just get access to watch us trade live, but you get access to my entire library of course material that will teach you everything that I know about trading. Every single piece of knowledge and wisdom that I've gathered over the last 8 years of trading has been put into my inner circle. That way, you're not just being able to watch us trade and trade with us, but you know exactly why we're entering each trade. You know exactly why each trade is playing out. That way, you're able to replicate it for yourself. In the inner circle, you also get access to our dedicated trading psychologist, because if you did not know, trading is majority a mental game. So, I put the inner circle together. I put everything inside the inner circle that I wish I had when I first started off trading. That would have helped me reach the point that I'm at now much faster. It would not have taken me 3 years. I literally have people inside of my inner circle that after 6 months, they're starting to get their first five-figure payouts start coming in consistently. So, if you're someone that actually wants to take trading serious and be able to have somebody that's been where you are and it's kind of at the point that most people want to get to when it comes to trading, I'll leave a link for it inside the description of this video. Keep in mind, spots are extremely limited. If you go through the comments of any of my videos, you're going to see a lot of people complain about there not being any spots in the inner circle. That's because I have to keep it exclusive for people who actually want to get good at trading. If you're just someone that just wants a few hundred bucks a month or whatever, then my YouTube videos are 100% enough and you can take your time and kind of build from there. But if you're someone who wants to be able to scale fast, the inner circle might be for you. So, I'll leave a link for it inside the description of this video. All right. So, this was just one example. As I was mentioning, we can go to the day before. We can see that we actually had no trades here. If you guys remember when I talked about if the EMA is just chilling or the candlesticks are just chilling on the EMA, that means there's no real trend. And as you can see, there is no real trend. Price just chopped around all day here. So, there's no trading. You have to be used to those days. If we go before then, we can see we actually have an example or a few examples where we had everything. We were below the EMA, we had our clean pullback right here of at least two candlesticks with no wicks on the bottom. As you see, we have 1 2 3 4, but then we got a small doji. Remember, it needs to be high volume doji, meaning the candlestick the doji candlestick has to be bigger than the candlestick before it or the candlestick before that one. As you can see, this candlestick right here is not bigger than the candlestick before it or the one before that one. And you can actually see we would have entered on this trade if we didn't follow our rules, and we would have lost this trade instantly. It would have hit our stop loss, and we would have lost money. That's why it's important that I follow my checklist and and anybody that wants to trade this strategy has to follow the checklist down to a T. But let's go to the day before that one. Let's see if we had any setups here. This one actually I don't even know if we had any setups on this day. I think it was just chopping around. It wasn't giving clean pullbacks. Yeah, I don't see any examples here, any setups here where we had clean pullbacks and Heikin Ashi candlestick that's big. This one we have Heikin Ashi candlestick right here, but I don't think it's big enough. That's why I didn't enter it. Yeah, it's not big enough. Um I didn't enter the trade here because this doji candlestick is not high volume. So that's why I didn't actually trade that one. But we do have a buy setup right here that we can go over. So this is a great because uh we just went over a few sell setups, but I want you guys to see it on the flip side when we're above the EMA cuz remember when we're above the EMA, we only are looking for buys. So as you can see, obviously above the EMA. Now we're looking for a clean pullback with two candlesticks with no wicks on the top. As you see, we have two right here, one and two. And then once we have that clean pullback, we're simply just waiting for that high volume doji candlestick, which we have right here. We see that the size of this candlestick is actually bigger than the one before it. We would enter as soon as that candlestick closed, and then we were simply going for a one-to-one risk-to-reward ratio, and as you can see, this trade ended up hitting right over here, and this took 15 minutes. This actually is a really long setup here, but that's because the volume just looks like it was slowing down here, which will happen sometimes. Either way, we ended up winning the trade. Now, we can go back in time here. You see we have a loss on this day. I have to be completely transparent with you guys. This strategy is not going to win every day. It does have a pretty high win rate, and you'll see when we go over the data, but any trader that tells you that their strategy never loses, or that they're the best trader in the world and they don't lose, they're lying to your face. They're calling you stupid for thinking that they never lose. I don't just don't believe them. Every single strategy loses. Every single trader loses. If a single trader did not lose, I will give you every piece of money I have inside my bank account if you can give me their phone number and I can talk with them. Cuz if they have an unlimited money glitch, you guys let me know. But, I have to be transparent. I like being transparent with you guys and showing you guys that the strategy will lose. You have to be aware of that. You're going to have everything aligned. We're below the EMA. We had our clean pullback to the upside, two clean candlesticks. We had a beautiful doji candlestick right here that's bigger than the candlestick before it, so it is considered high volume. This we would have entered right here. We would have put our stop loss right above the candlestick that we entered on. We would have targeted a one-to-one risk-to-reward ratio, and we still would have lost. And that's perfectly fine. This is just something that you have to be aware of that when you're trading, losses are part of the game, so just be aware of that. That's why we focus so much on risk management, why we talk so much about risk management, so that you can live to trade yet another day. But, I went over a lot of examples here. I feel like I've went through enough examples for the most part. Let's go over some actual results that I've had in the past 2 weeks of trading just this one strategy. So, here we are looking at actual results here. As you can see, this account started at $10,000 and I was able to profit $6,513. Now, keep in mind, I risked $1,000 every single trade that I took. That means if I risked $1,000, I always also won $1,000. You can see my win rate here was 75%. I took a total of eight trades, six wins, two losses during this 2-week period. You can look here at my average risk-to-reward ratio. You see it's a 1.42. The reason it isn't a flat one-to-one, even though we're always going for a one-to-one, goes back to how Heikin-Ashi candlesticks work. So, for example, if I scroll back to these examples that we had here, remember I told you guys that the body of the candlestick is not where price actually closed at. Price could have closed anywhere on this candlestick and we're entering as soon as this candlestick closes. I always draw my zone or draw my trade as if I was entering on the bottom of the wick for sells or the top of the wick if I'm entering for buys. I always draw it like that, so I map out my one-to-one risk-to-reward ratio like that. But, in reality, this candlestick probably could have closed right here. It probably closed right here. And if it closed right here and I entered as soon as it closed, my entry would actually be right here. So, my actual risk-to-reward ratio would be a 2.18-to-1 risk-to-reward ratio. But, I always plan it out to be right here. That way, I'm at least getting a one-to-one risk-to-reward ratio. But, most of the time, it's a lot more than a one-to-one risk-to-reward ratio. That's why you see the average risk-to-reward ratio is a 1.42 over these trades. Uh Um, you can look at the chart here. You see some of the days I had two trades, some of the days had one trade. I'm risking $1,000 per trade as you see right here, but on this I was able to make $1,500 because even though I risked $1,000, it wasn't an actual one to one risk reward ratio cuz my entry was probably a lot closer to like right here. So, I had a 1.5 to one risk reward ratio um on that specific trade. But, this is the trade results. These are the results that I've been able to see most of the time with this strategy. I'm seeing anywhere between mid 65s to like high 70% win rates, and that's just uh over a compilation of data. A compilation? A group of data? A bunch of data? Let's go with that. Over a bunch of data that I've had over the last 3 years of trading this strategy. Now, I'm not saying you're going to start off the bat and have a 75% win rate. I always suggest, like I told you guys multiple times, go back test it for yourself. Go journal it for yourself. See the data for yourself so you can be able to uh feel confident actually trading this strategy. Now, keep in mind, I made 6,500 bucks on a $10,000 account. This is with me risking $1,000 per trade. If I had like a $100,000 funded account, I could be risking $2,000 per trade, and this would have doubled. So, I would have made whatever, $13,000 in 2 weeks of trading. Just I only traded NQ with this strategy. You can really trade any pair, NQ, YM, gold, ES. You can honestly trade any pair as long as it has volume with this strategy. But, in this example, I only traded one strategy, one pair, and most of the time only took one or two trades a day. And I was able to make 6K in 2 weeks. In a month, that means I would have made 13K, and that's just risking $1,000 per trade. You can see kind of how this scales. If even if I was only risking $500 per trade, I would have still made $3,000 whatever $250 in 2 weeks for risking $500 per trade. If I had a $100,000 funded account, I could risk $3,000 per trade or $4,000 per trade or whatever that number is for you, you can just see how it scales. And this is why I love this strategy. It's just so simple, it's so repeatable, and you don't need a whole bunch of money to make this thing work. So, that's the entire strategy. It's just six steps, one indicator, Heikin-Ashi candle six, and a six-step checklist that you can literally pull up on your phone and follow every single day. I've been trading this strategy for over 3 years now, and I've used it to pass multiple prop firm accounts. I've used it to get payouts. I trade on my live account, and that's honestly why I love this strategy. It's just stupid simple, and it's proven already, and it's exactly why I've been able to trust it for years. Now, look, I just gave you guys the full blueprint, but here's the cold, hard truth, and we kind of already talked about it. Even the best strategy in the world is not going to change your life if you're only trading with a couple hundred bucks of your own money. One of the main reasons why this simple strategy actually works for people is because they have the capital to back it up. So, in this video right here, I break down exactly how to use other people's money and get funded and then use this exact strategy to start pulling some real payouts so you can stop stressing over small accounts. Click this video right here, I'll walk you through it. I'll see you there.
