My NEW UPDATED Trading Strategy for 2026 (70% Winrate)

Give me just a couple minutes and I'm going to hand you my brand new four-step trading strategy that I use every single day in order to have profitable days and have a 70% win rate. With my old strategy, I was leaving money on the table. I would be missing out on a lot of setups. Even when I knew my bias and drawing liquidity was right, I couldn't find an entry towards there. But with this new updated strategy, I'm able to have the same exact win rate but with more setups and more opportunity. This updated video is literally going to be everything you need in order to trade the 2026 markets profitably. So, let's get into it. Step number one, you need to be able to define the bias and the higher time frame draw on liquidity. Before you even think about executing this model, you need to figure out where the market wants to go today. And this simple step right here fixes win rate more than anything else. I see it all the time. People hop immediately on the one-minute time frame, draw out some fair value gaps, draw out some highs and lows, and then just immediately gets chopped around 5 minutes into open. So, I'm going to show you right now the simplest way in order for you to define your bias. So, you're always taking trades alongside that higher time frame candle. This is going to give you the best possible risk reward and the best delivery in price. So, let me show you right now on the charts. Okay, so when you're coming up with your bias and your drawing liquidity in the morning, it literally comes down to two simple steps and two questions that you have to ask yourself. The first question you have to ask yourself is what fair value gaps are we respecting versus disrespecting? And then the second question you have to ask yourself is what swing high or low are we going towards? So, for question number one, if we are going to be bearish, we are going to be respecting bearish fair value gaps. And we are going to be disrespecting bullish fair value gaps. Then, if we are going to be bullish, we are going to be respecting bullish fair value gaps and then disrespecting bearish fair value gaps. Now, from here, this is really all you need. And I also forgot to add, for time frames, I'm on the daily time frame, the 4-hour, the 1-hour, and the 15-minute time frame to define my bias. Mainly, I'm really staying on that daily and 4-hour and 1-hour. Sticking with those hourly time frames gives me the clearest picture. And then, really when it comes to open and stuff, that's when I'll hop on the 15-minute chart just to double-check that everything's there. Sometimes we could have some like perfect equal lows on like the 15-minute, which could then lead to a different bias. So, it's not like all the time I'm just staying on like the daily and 4-hour, but that's the majority of time what I'm on to give me the clearest picture. Now, what swing high or low are we going towards? You don't have to overcomplicate this question. If you see we have a high in the market and we are going towards it, right? It looks like the market is pushing up towards that high, then you mark it out and that's your draw on liquidity for the day. If we are down here and we are respecting a bullish fair value gap and then we have a bearish fair value gap here and this is getting disrespected, what is my bias and draw on liquidity going to be for the day? Well, we are doing what? We are respecting bullish, disrespecting bearish. What does that look like here? This is a bullish scenario. And then what swing high or low are we going towards? Looks like this one. So, this is going to be my draw on liquidity for the day. Again, don't overcomplicate this guys. Trade with the trend. The trend is your friend. I see it all the time, especially on a day like today. I ended up making around 11k today and it was literally just because I was following in the higher time frame trend. Let me show you guys how to actually define your bias on the higher time frame and I'm going to use an example from today. So, what I do first, right? And this was today, this was Wednesday, May 13th. What I do first is I'll hop on the daily chart, right? Obviously, what does this look like guys? We are at all-time highs. So, we are extremely bullish. And this is an easier scenario here, but this is why it's so important guys, just literally trade with the trend. If you guys been watching my trade recaps or watching my kick streams, watching me live trade, the reason I have such a high win rate right now at all-time highs is because I'm literally just taking longs and I'll only short if it's just such a obvious bearish bias for shorts. But the majority of the time guys, I'm just trading with this higher time frame trend. Now, that being said, this is the chart that I was looking at at around 8:00 a.m. So, what are we doing here? So, if we hop on the 4-hour time frame here, you can clearly see here we are respecting this bullish 4-hour fair value gap. And if we go on the hourly time frame as well, what are we doing with these fair value gaps to the left of us? These bearish fair value gaps are literally getting ran through. We are disrespecting them. We are closing through them. And then what are we doing with these bullish fair value gaps? We are holding them and then this is sending price higher. Now, I also like to look at ES and see if it's doing relatively the same thing and it is. And even better, what do we have up here at these highs? Relative equal highs. So, this to me is where the market is going towards because we are respecting these bullish gaps down here on the daily time frame, respecting this bullish gap, hourly time frame, same exact thing, 4-hour time frame, same thing. So, my bias for the day is going to be bullish. Towards what? Where's the next obvious swing high that the market is moving towards? This high right here. I'm going to mark out this level by side liquidity right here. And that's really it. That's my bias for the day. All right, so now that we have bias out of the way, you've already eliminated about 90% of the bad trades that you probably would have taken. But this next step is so extremely important because this is where the market is going to bounce from. And this is where every single one of your trades is going to revolve around. So, this next step is identifying a valid key level. There are people out there that I see, and this could be you, where you have 20 lines on your chart, you have 30 indicators, and you have all these random boxes, and you call them your key levels. And this leads you into taking so many trades in a day, and you wonder why nothing works. But the solution to this is not just draw at random levels, but actually have a high quality point in which price will either reverse from or your bias is just completely wrong. And by giving yourself these two to three levels, that is all you're going to need for the strategy. It is way simpler and it is way less of a headache. Now, let's get into this because this is where the new strategy actually changes the game. Because before with my trading, I was only allowed to take trades off of fair value gaps. That was either an unmitigated gap or an already mitigated one. And that of course worked, and it still does, but there'll will be a lot of times where I watch trades print right in front of me where I had the bias right, the draw on liquidity right, and I literally couldn't get an entry towards that. So, I was leaving money on the table. So, now with this new updated strategy, I've implemented new key levels that you can start using while still having the same 70% win rate. So, let me show you guys that right now on the charts. So, step two, identifying a valid key level. The time frames I use are the 3-minute, the 5-minute, the 15-minute, 30-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour, all with higher time frame narrative, which you will get from that first step of having proper higher time frame bias and draw on liquidity. Now, that being said, the first key level that I use are fair value gaps. And this can be in the form of an unmitigated fair value gap or an intermediate high or an intermediate low inside of the gap. Now, what this looks like is that we will have a fair value gap in play right here, and this could be off the 5-minute, this could be a 15-minute gap, whatever. And this could be a valid key level. We can trade into this, and then this will be a valid area for price to reject off of. Now, let's say we already traded into this fair value gap, maybe we did that during pre-market, and we start trading away from it, and now market is opening and we are trading towards this gap. We cannot use this area right here as a key level. Instead, what we have to wait for is for this low inside of this gap to get swept. And this is a bullish scenario, you can just flip this around for a bearish scenario. But then, at this point, this is a valid key level right here for price to then reject and bounce off. All right, so now I'm going to move on to the second type of key levels that I'm now implementing in this trading strategy, and this is going to be CISDs. Now, a CISD, or a change in state of delivery, for a bullish scenario is when we have a body close above a candle or series of down closed candles that hit a fair value gap or an intermediate low inside of a a fair value gap. And for a bearish scenario, it's a body close below a candle or series of up closed candles that hit a fair value gap or an intermediate high resting inside of a fair value gap. All right, I'm going to show you guys now just on a chart what a CISD actually looks like. So, as you can see here, we traded down and we hit this sell side liquidity pool right here. We ended up forming a bullish SMT at these lows because ES ended up sweeping it out as you can see, whereas the NASDAQ did not. So, this is a bullish SMT. From here, you can see that we have this series of down close candles here that went and traded into this key level and swept out this liquidity. And we can mark out the opening price of that series of down close candles. And once we get a body closing above this, this is going to be your change in state of delivery. So, we wait here. This is also on the 15-minute time frame. And boom, right here we have a beautiful change in state of delivery. So, this area can be used now as a key level for us to base our trade ideas off of. And as you can see, price ends up trading back into that area, perfectly rejecting it, and then we trade higher. Let me show you now a bearish example of what a change state of delivery looks like. So, now I'm going to show you guys some examples of some bearish CISDs. So, as you can see here, we went up and traded into a bearish fair value gap, a bearish intermediate high. You can see here, we are rejecting off of this key level. And we have this series of upclose candles that traded into this key level. Once we get a body closure below the opening price of these series of upclose candles that traded into this key level, this will be a change state of delivery. So, we're being patient, we're waiting, and boom, right here we get a body closure below that, and this is your change in state of delivery. So, we can use this area as a key level for us to base our trade ideas off of to send price lower. And as you can see, we wick into that area, and then price delivers lower. We keep trading into this level, price keeps trading lower from that level. And we can keep doing the same thing. From here, what did price trade into? And you can see here, we traded into an hourly bearish fair value gap. Now, what was that candle or series of upclose candles that traded into that hourly bearish fair value gap? You can see here it was this green candle right here that traded into that fair value gap. So this is going to be your CISD. We can mark that out right there and this is also on the 5-minute time frame, right? That candle that traded into that hourly gap. Price wicks into this level as you can see and then we deliver lower. And it also wicked what area as well? This CIC all the way over here as well on the 15-minute time frame. We can also go on the hourly chart and it was pretty much that same level there. This is an hourly change state delivery, right? This hourly close right here. We got a body close through that. So it's really happening on all time frames when you see it like that, it's super high probability. Now I want you guys to know that CISDs are best used with fair value gaps. So it's really great to get really precise key levels, but sometimes they can be used just on their own as a key level, but just know that when they are combined with a fair value gap, it is that much stronger. Now the final key level that I use are rejection blocks. Now what does a bullish rejection block look like? It is simply going to be a bullish wick that traded into a fair value gap or an intermediate low inside of a fair value gap. Versus a bearish rejection block is going to be a bearish wick that traded into a fair value gap or an intermediate high inside of a fair value gap. So let's take a look at what this would look like pretty much on the charts. So we can look at an example like this from today. We see that we have this bullish wick in the market and this is a wick that traded into what? A bullish fair value gap. So this right here is a bullish rejection block on the 1-hour chart. We sometimes can go and sweep this low which we did on ES, but what did NQ do? It actually traded down into this wick, perfectly respected it and went higher. Also with the rejection blocks, make sure you draw out CE of the range because a lot of times we can go to it and that's how you really get those like bottom tick entries. But again, I'm not entering at these levels guys, right? These are simply just key levels that I use and then I'm going to wait for confirmation and all that and I'm going to talk about that in the next step, but this is just one example of what a rejection wick and a rejection block looks like. Now, let me show you what a bearish rejection block looks like right here. So, as you can see here, guys, we have this bearish 1-hour fair value gap. Price trades into this bearish 1-hour fair value gap and we get a beautiful wick off of that. A beautiful reaction forms and we can draw out this box right here of the wick and this is a bearish 1-hour rejection wick. And as you can see, price trades into this wick, perfectly taps into it, and then delivers from there. And we can use this area as a key level to base our trade ideas off of. Now, just by implementing these new key levels, this strategy has now become 10 times more powerful because like I was saying before, I would always have to wait for some sort of fair value gap to form and I would have to take trades either off of that or just wait for the intermediate high or low inside of that gap to get hit. But, as you guys saw in those examples, sometimes those highs or lows in the market are protected. we really don't have a fair value gap form and we have a really confident draw on liquidity and bias, these areas are going to give you such precise entries and overall just give you higher quality opportunity trading my strategy. So, now that we've covered how to actually find your key levels, you still need that confirmation that order flow has flipped and that your key level is really valid. And how you can do that is by waiting for confirmation using an inversion fair value gap. A lot of traders see price tap into their key level and just immediately take a trade, which is fine if your key level is valid, of course, and it's aligned with the higher time frame draw, but it's going to yield you a pretty low win rate. Rather, if you wait for an IFVG to confirm your narrative, your win rate will skyrocket. So, let me show you guys on the charts what an IFVG confirmation looks like so you can master this concept once and for all. All right, so now that we're on the charts, I'm going to show you guys this third step, which is the IFVG. The time frames you guys want to be using for your IFVG confirmation is the 1-minute, the 2-minute, the 3-minute, the 4-minute, and the five minute chart. And you want to be waiting for the highest time frame IFEG in the manipulation leg. Now, what do you mean by this, Blake? Let's say we have our first step down, and we have a bullish bias. And then we have our second step down, and we found a bullish key level. Now, I want to wait for an IFEG out of this key level to really confirm that we have switched order flow. And a really common mistake I see with a lot of beginner traders is that they will take a lower time frame IFEG, maybe like the one minute chart in this manipulation leg, and it will fail. The reason being because we haven't actually distributed through the whole entire leg and inverted the highest time frame in that leg. So, the manipulation leg is simply the swing high to the swing low that hit your key level. And nine times out of 10, guys, I'm waiting for the highest time frame inversion. So, what that means, guys, I'm going to be looking at this specific leg, and I'm going to be paying attention to the one minute chart, the two minute chart, the three minute, the four minute, the five minute. And whatever the highest time frame for rally gap is of that leg, that's where I'm going to be taking the trade off. So, let's say the highest time frame of this leg is a two minute IFEG, and I look and there's no three minute. It's just a two minute. Okay, perfect. I'm going to take this trade, and I'm going to wait for price to close through this two minute gap on the two minute time frame, of course, and then I will take a long. Now, again, there are times where maybe I have really strong conviction in trades. I have been trading for around five years now, so I am able to use discretion and screen time. But when you are a beginner trader, it is really important that you just wait for this because although it's probably going to give you a worse risk reward if you wait for that highest time frame, it's going to give you the best win rate. And especially if you're trading prop firms, that's really what you should be aiming for. And for a bearish scenario, what does this look like, right? Let's say we have step one down, and we have a bearish bias. And then we have step two down, and price trades into a bearish key level. And then let's say the highest time frame IFEG is a 30 second. I also want to put, guys, that you can use the 30 second chart. I would say to definitely back test it because there are a lot of setups using the 30-second time frame that I trade with, but there's also a lot of low-quality setups using the 30-second chart that you have to avoid. So, I would say utilize the 30-second chart, yes, if you are more of an intermediate trader, but if you are brand, brand new with trading this model, just stick with the minute charts for now. But, let's say highest time frame in this manipulation leg, right? From this swing low to this swing high is the 30-second, right? This 30-second IFG, and there's no 1-minute, there's no 2-minute, there's no 3-minute, then boom, I'll rip this 30-second short here, and I'll take this trade. So, let me show you guys what this looks like on live charts really quick. All right, looking at the chart here, let's say we have a bullish bias. Let's say our key level is down here at this bullish fair value gap area, and I want to see price trade into this, so we can mark out right here the manipulation leg that traded into this bullish key level that we have. Our swing high to our swing low. And now, we look at the fair value gap that was created inside of this. Right here, we have a 1-minute IFG, or a bearish fair value gap that should be an IFG soon. But, do we have a 2-minute gap in this leg? No. Do we have a 3-minute gap? No. Do we have a 4-minute? No. Do we have a 5-minute? No. The 5-minute gaps and all these other higher time frame gaps are above this manipulation leg. This is what a lot of people get wrong about trading my strategy. They think they have to wait for these gaps up here to get inverted, but no, you just have to be paying attention to the manipulation leg that hit your key level that you have marked out. Now, that being said, you wait for a body closure above that. We have that right there, and then from here, you can take your long setup, and just watch it absolutely print. All right, so now I'm going to show you a bearish example of what a bearish IFG looks like, right? Let's say we have a bearish bias. We have a bearish key level. This key level is a 15-minute bearish intermediate high. This is an intermediate high right inside of this bearish fair value gap, okay? We can see here that we create a swing low. We then have a swing high put in place that hits this key level, and then we start trading lower. Now, there's no 1-minute IFG, but if we look on the 30-second chart really quick, would you look at this? We have a 30-second. So, this is the highest time frame in this manipulation leg from this low to this high that hit this key level. Now, you could take this entry. If you are extremely confident that this is your key level that is valid and this is just enough confirmation for you and you have such a strong bias, right? You can take a trade like this, of course. But, you can also wait for a little bit more confirmation by instead looking at this whole entire manipulation leg from this external swing low on the 5-minute to this external swing high. And instead, you wait for the highest time frame inversion of this leg. And as you can see here, what do we have? We have a 5-minute for value gap. So, there is a 3-minute gap in this range. So, there is a 2-minute gap. There's a 1-minute gap. But, the highest time frame from the 1-minute to the 5-minute here is this 5-minute. So, you wait for price to close below this 5-minute gap. Wait, wait, wait. Still waiting for a good close. I would say there is a pretty valid close there, right? You can take this one. You could also take this one. But, just waiting for a valid close. Stop loss there, right? And here we just have more confirmation and we dump to your target. So, that's how you actually find a valid inversion for value gap. So, now we have everything, right? Bias, key level, you have your IFG confirmation. So, you should just be able to enter and walk away from your desk and be done, right? It sounds obvious, but what doesn't sound obvious is how easy it is to overcomplicate this process. Because the second you start improvising, you're moving your stops, you're adding to losers, you're reentering right after you got stopped out, the entire strategy basically goes to trash. And the consistency that you are looking for comes from repetition, not prediction. And the whole point of the strategy is that it removes the decision-making at the time of execution. And with this, I'm going to show you three live trade examples that I've taken these past 2 weeks so you guys really understand the strategy to the fullest. Let's get into this last section. All right, so we're on the charts now and this is pretty much the fourth and final step and it is executing and your risk management. Now, with executions, I'm typically just entering on the body closure of the IFG. Now, there are times where maybe my risk is really bad and the candle might have closed just way too high. At that point, then I'll either set a limit order at the IFEG or at the CISD. So, there's a lot of times where we have that IFEG and we have a change state delivery, you can limit order that CISD. And we talked about that in the second step when we're talking about key levels. It's really only if my risk reward is trash. Another thing to note is that I really aim for that 1:1 RR to 1:3 RR. That is typically the range that I'm in and I'm really just targeting low-hanging fruit. So, what does that mean? It means the most obvious high or low in the market that we are drawing towards. So, when we were talking about drawing liquidity at the start of this video and your overall bias, you're marking out on the higher time frame where is the most obvious high that we are going to in the market. You do the same exact thing now just on the lower time frame, right? Because just because I have a bias, for example, to all-time highs, I'm probably not going to hold maybe all the way to all-time highs, maybe it's like 300 points away. Usually, I'm not holding all the way towards there and instead, I'm just targeting the low-hanging fruit. I'm getting my piece of the pie, I'm getting in and out of the trades. Because especially with prop firm trading, there is consistency rules for the accounts that I trade on at least. So, I really can't have huge 1:10 RR trades. So, I really just aim for that low-hanging fruit. Helps your psychology, gives you a better win rate and I'm telling you it's just a method for trading, especially in prop firms for 2026. So, that being said, let's move on now to number three. When it comes to your stop loss, this really varies because it can sometimes be at the swing low or high. It can sometimes be at the body, sometimes at the fair value gap, sometimes we create a fair value gap throughout the leg. So, sometimes I'll put it at the fair value gap low or high. Sometimes even there's an order block, right? Typically, if you're a beginner and you want the safest stop loss possible, put it at the swing low. I'll say that's for the majority of the trades where I put my stop loss is usually at the swing low, but you can slowly start messing around and just backtest these so you can get the statistics yourself. And number four is I'm really just going for one to two trades a day max. And what I mean by this is one win, I am done for the day and one loss, I am probably also done for the day, but there can be times where maybe I just get stop rated, maybe price trades into a new key level, so I could take another trade if everything aligns and if it's an A+ setup, but if I take two losses in a day, then I am done for the day. Now, fifth and final thing when it comes to executing and overall my risk management is that I'm only trading from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. This is the golden hour for trading, especially with futures, especially with the Nasdaq, and this is just the peak hours of trading. It is very very rare I'll execute 11:00. That's really only if 9:30 to 11:00 has been really bad, then I'll execute past 11:00 and if we generated a lot of liquidity. But again, nine times out of 10, I'm trading that 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. window. That being said, this is the fourth and final section. It is now time to hop into some live trade examples so I can show you guys all of the steps combined from the bias to the key levels to the IFEG entry and finally the execution and the risk management. So, let's get into it. So, I'll show you guys the trades that I took from today and let's just start off at 9:30. Overall bias is what? Very bullish, right? We're clearly respecting this bullish 4-hour gap, disrespecting these gaps in this range right here. So, bullish bias, most obvious swing high is right here. We are probably going for this external swing high. Now, for key levels, I'm really looking at this intermediate low inside of this gap. Why do I like this low so much? Because it is resting around EQ of this range, right? you can see it's below discount. We can also trade into this rejection wick, right? That's also a key level. But we play out open here. Now, we do end up trading lower to this intermediate low and we form that bullish SMT. I was just previously talking about this in that key level part, but as you can see, ES, right? We traded into that low. We formed a bullish SMT here because ES took it out, Nasdaq didn't. So, beautiful, we hit a key level and now we want to see distribution here from this key level. So, we can look at this swing high to this swing low that hit this key level and wait for the highest time frame inversion. Now, the highest time frame inversion from here was actually a 4-minute IFVG. So, you can see here we have a 1-minute range. We also have a 2-minute range. We have a 3-minute range. And we also have a 4-minute. And the 4-minute actually was right here. Let me play this out. And we get a good close. There was no 5-minute gap here. So, the 4-minute was the highest time frame. And this was a really good entry. Right? You can take this trade. I saw a bunch of people take this. You can put your stop loss at the low here. And you put a target for maybe around a 1 to 1.6. Maybe you can target all the way up there. But this was a really good entry. This ends up printing. This simply based off this model and the concepts that I taught you guys just now in this video. So, again, a lot of my students took this exact trade. But me personally, I wanted to see just a little bit more confirmation because I didn't love this stop loss. It was 124 points. It was a huge trade. And of course, this is a valid setup. But there are times where maybe I'll fade a trade like this because it's again just so big. And I want to see just a little bit more confirmation. So, I'm waiting for confirmation here. We end up going higher. And we actually create a 5-minute bullish for rally gap. And this is a beautiful 5-minute gap that gets created, right? Off of this hourly to me low, right? We have that higher time frame sponsorship, that higher time frame narrative. And I'll show you the two trades I took. This is the first initial setup that I end up taking. So, we traded down into this 5-minute bullish for rally gap. Right? What is the obvious draw on liquidity here? This 1-hour gap right here. We have an unfilled 1-hour right here as a draw on liquidity. So, we can just mark this out. Unfilled gaps are great DOLs. And what is the highest time frame in this manipulation leg? Do we have a 1-minute in this range? No. We actually do have a 30-second. So, I did use a 30-second time frame here after trading into this 5-minute gap. And I waited for a close above this. And I have a break even point being this external little swing. Break even points are always really different for me, guys. It's majority of the time just at the manipulation leg. So, it'd be like this swing high. But sometimes when you have like a lot of stacked lower resistance liquidity, I'll put it at this. But yeah, I just waited for a price to close above this for rally gap. And I still like this close. It was good enough for me, so I entered right here with a market order. Put a stop loss at the low and put a TP at that unfilled 1-hour gap. Price ended up going here and then I ended up getting break even right around here. And you guys should just go back and watch the Kick stream, but this first trade ended up just stopping me at a break even. And from here, my bias is not necessarily wrong, but usually if we go back to my break even point, we're usually either going to go to that internal low inside of this gap, so we can write out there's a 5-minute internal low, or the overall ideal will just be invalidated altogether. But what we did here is we went back to that internal low and we got a really, really strong bullish reaction out of this. From here, this is another setup. So, there is a 30-second IFG here, but am I going to take this one? No. Why? Because there's a 1-minute. Is there a 2-minute in this range? No. So, the 1-minute here is the highest time frame. I entered a long position right here, put a stop loss here, and then I had a pretty high TP. I was going for an unfilled 15-minute gap and I was just pretty much trying to go back to all-time highs, which eventually this hit. I had a lot of confidence for this, but eventually I got stopped in profit around that 1:1 risk reward. So, pretty much the trade idea just ended up looking like this in the end. So, sometimes I'll manage my positions by trailing my stop loss, right? But as you can see, I went break even once we hit this high. So, we went break even there and then this absolutely ripped to TP. And again, you could have held this if you have more confidence. When it comes to, you know, taking profits and your stop losses, things like that, your break evens, it really just comes down to you and your confidence in the trade and the model. But yeah, this is one example I use and the key level is based off a 5-minute fair value gap and a 5-minute intermediate low. And then that higher time frame key level and sponsorship was based off of that higher time frame gap being that 1-hour intermediate low. Now, let's go into another trade example on a trade that I took just the day before this prior on Tuesday. So, Tuesday is such a great trade example because I had so many people in my comments and so many traders online that I've personally talking about this exact setup here and talking about how it was invalid because there was no key level because there was simply no fair value gap to sponsor this trade. But with this new addition to my strategy combining CISDs and rejection blocks, I'll show you here why the key level was actually picture perfect. So overall bias guys, higher time frame, there is that argument for a bullish narrative. And I'm not going to get too much into the bias on this trade, but overall we were just respecting a lot of bearish PD arrays and disrespecting bullish. And at this point I ended up having a bearish bias down towards this low right here. So a bearish bias and this is my main draw on liquidity. Now, when we look at this range right here, what do you guys see? If we go on the one hour chart, what is screaming out to you? So first things first, we have this one hour bearish fair value gap and combining with this we have a one hour bearish rejection block. So this is your bearish rejection block and aligning with this we also have what? A 15 minute change in state of delivery, right? This is that series of up close candles that traded into this one hour bearish fair value gap. We have a change in state of delivery with that as well. So 15 minute CISD as well as a bearish rejection block and these are two really, really strong key levels here. And you can see here price trades up and we perfectly tap into this bearish rejection wick. Now, we don't respect this five minute bearish fair value gap, but that is okay because there's no narrative behind this long, right? We are still bearish on the higher time frame. So as you can see we traded into this key level right here. We perfectly wick into this and you can mark out the swing low to the swing high that hit this key level. And the highest time frame inverse in this leg [music] is a one minute fair value gap. I end up taking this trade here, I put a stop right here at this swing high and I put my TP at this low hanging fruit around that one to a three RR and price absolutely dumps. I go break even around this point when we hit that internal low and beautiful trade. So hopefully this clears up a lot of questions that you guys probably had revolving around CISDs and rejection blocks and key levels. And before you make another video talking about how this trade wasn't valid, there wasn't any key levels, or just a lot of people in my kick chat telling me this, this updated strategy video hopefully clears up all of those questions and overall confusion. All right, so this is the final trade example of this updated strategy and we can look at the charts here and what are we clearly doing? We are very, very bullish, right? Again, we're just at all-time highs. We have been for the past like 3 months, but yeah. And what do I see in this range? Well, I see here in this range that we have an unfilled 15-minute for rally gap. This is an unmitigated for rally gap that we can use as our key level to send price higher. This is on the 15-minute time frame and we overall have a really bullish bias. We have an external swing high here and let's see what price does. We end up accumulating, going lower and then we trade into this 15-minute bullish gap, get a really strong rejection off of this and this is a trade I took. I ended up taking this long right here. I put a stop-loss around this swing low and I had a TP for a one-to-one risk-reward. There are times where maybe I don't have a one-to-one at this high. I would just simply move my take profit a little bit higher for that one-to-one risk-reward. And this is just such a great trade and overall, I really didn't care about getting more points than this. I was extremely confident in just this accumulation range and I didn't really love this high just because it previously traded into a new week opening gap. So, I was really confident in just this area right here, but I wasn't just 100% confident in this, which is why I just took profit at the low-hanging fruit at a one-to-one risk-reward. So, there are times again where maybe I'm just so freaking confident we're going for a draw and that's when I'll hold, but then there are times where maybe I'll just get that one-to-one risk-reward and I'll print right there off that. But that being said, you could have also played this trade, you know, using ES until ES takes out the high, which is at like 9:55. So, you could have closed the trade around here and then that could have printed you an extra like 10 points. And then we formed that bearish SMT at the swing high and then this trade eventually sends you back to break even, right? So, that's why it's so important to just take your piece of the pie wherever you feel comfortable at. And this is the trading strategy, right? Bullish bias, 15-minute gap as your key level, highest time frame inversion of this manipulation leg. We have a 1-minute, we have a 2-minute. No, beautiful setup here. That being said, let's quickly recap so you have everything locked in. Number one, make sure you define your higher time frame bias and your higher time frame draw on liquidity. Number two, identify a valid key level in the market. be either a fair value gap, an intermediate high or low inside of a fair value gap, a CISD, or a rejection wick, or a rejection block. Step number three is waiting for that IFEG and having proper confirmation through the highest time frame inverse. And finally, the fourth step is just executing flawlessly and having that proper risk management so you can stay on side that 70% win rate [music] statistic.
