Complete Trading Mastery: From Basics to Million-Dollar Strategy

Welcome to the final class. This is going to be the final class that you will need to watch in your whole entire

trading career to understand how to trade. I'm talking about in this 10hour video, I am literally going to teach you

from zero to 100%. From the point that you are literally going to be able to execute a trade with me inside of this

video live. Whatever I do on my phone, you pause the video, you do it on your phone. Whatever I do on my chart, you

pause the video, you do it on your chart. I'm going to take you through the most stepbystep process that I have

personally ever created or ever even seen online on a complete tutorial on how to teach you trading from zero to

100%. This is everything in one spot. I swear to God, I wish I had this video when I started my trading journey back

in 2019 2018 when I was learning how to trade online. Nobody created tutorials like this. There was a bunch of

different videos throughout the whole entire internet and I kind of had to piece them all together. And by the time

that I pieced them all together, I simply had an information overload and I didn't know what I actually needed and

what I didn't actually need. In this video, I'm going to teach you everything that you need and I'm going to briefly

explain to you what you don't need so you don't have to simply waste time on it. Because the truth of the matter is

that right now in trading, everybody is having a massive opportunity to make money online. the more time that you

waste having the lack of knowledge and not having the proper education to go and trade, the more time you are missing

out on these profits. So, I'm going to make everything on this one video, so all you have to do is just watch it from

zero to the end. You're going to know exactly how to be able to go out there and execute trades live in the market.

Now, I have really been thinking about doing this video for quite some time. I just haven't had the time to actually

get it done. But, when I actually now decided to get this video done, I wanted to this be more than just an information

overload video. Like I wanted you to practice this in real time. You're actually able to go out there and

execute live based off off of this video. Something that you actually get value from and you're actually able to

go out to the market and properly do it for yourself. Now, you're probably asking, who is this guy that's going to

be talking to me for the next 10 hours and is he even a reliable source? I've been trading the currency market for the

last seven years, and it took me about three years to become a profitable trader. I was two and a half years

trying to figure out how to make money online when it comes to trading. And after two years of watching endless

amounts of videos and failing, I finally figured it out. But it really wasn't always about trading. I first wanted to

make money online. But before making money online, I was working at Dunkin Donuts. Before working at Dunkin Donuts,

I worked at Crocs, Arab Postal, Sant's Enchanted Forest, and I even tried to get a job at a Valley parking, but I

never got hired. I was just a regular high school student that got out of high school and did not want to go work the

regular 9 to5. I wanted to get out of high school and become a successful person. I wanted to become a

millionaire. I remember as the semester was finishing, my professor came up to me and he woke me up from an nap and he

was like, "Hey, just letting you know right now, you could not come back tomorrow or not even finish this

semester, even if you were to ace every single one of the next tests, you're still going to fail the class." And I

said, "You know what? Thanks, man. You just saved me the next two months of my life cuz I was going to keep coming in

here and falling asleep." Fast forward for the next two months. I kept going to campus because my parents were tracking

my location and I had to go to school because they would, you know, kick me out of the house, ground me if I wasn't

going to school. And I was going to school to just figure out how to make money online. I was figuring out a way

on how to do drop shipping, which I tried to buy multiple different products, but my credit card limit

wasn't enough. So, I couldn't have enough inventory. Tried that for a little bit, dabbled with it, never had

success. And then I tried Airbnb arbitrage. So on my free time, as soon as I finished work and got out of the

school, just sitting in the library trying to figure out how to find the good properties for Airbnb arbitrage, I

realized that when I did find a good property, I didn't have the proper credit and have the bank statements to

sign a lease so then I can subleasase it, put on Airbnb, so on and so forth. And I pretty much wasted about 6 months

of my life trying to make money online when it came across, you know, these different businesses. And then one day,

one of my friends invites me to this event where they're teaching trading. I'm like, ah, dude, I've heard of this

stuff before. Supposedly, it's a scam. It's not real. Said, "You know what? What's the worst that can happen? I lose

100 bucks. Really, all I have at the time to risk on this." I go to the event. I get sold on the whole entire

MLM product, multi-level marketing. And uh what that really did is that it opened the doors to what trading is and

the possibility that it actually has. I was there for probably 30 days. I realized that these multi-level

marketing companies don't teach you how to trade. They just teach you what it is. But that opened the gates for me to

actually go out there and try and figure it out. So I tried to go on with stocks and I realized in order for me to

actually create a account in a stock market or with the stock brokers for you to actually go trade, it was a minimum

of 25,000. That was back in 2018 2019 when I was starting to trade. I didn't have 20,000 $25,000 to open up a trading

account. So then I heard that there's this forex market, foreign exchange where the entry barrier is 100 bucks, 50

bucks, and you have leverage up to 1 to 1,000. And then there that means you have a lot more buying power in your

money. The markets are open 245 compared to the stock market. They're open 9 to5, 5 days a week. I said, you know what,

this is a lot more attractive. Let me actually go head first into this. And little did I know that I was going to be

walking into one of the longest, darkest, and loneliest journeys that I have ever been. And that journey began

by myself in the library at Miami Day College campus. I was a whole entire year going to Miami Day College campus.

Instead of me learning English or learning mathematics or whatever they were teaching me in criminal justice, I

was learning what the foreign exchange market was, watching endless amounts of videos on YouTube, buying different a

bunch of different courses trying to see if it all worked, where it all came down to one simple thing. And all of that I'm

going to be teaching to you guys in this video completely for free. and it's all going to be in one spot. I had to piece

so many different videos together that literally that is probably what took the most amount of time getting all the

information that was on the internet, hearing the same thing seven different ways, realizing I'm watching the same

thing from a different person, saying it in a different way, and then having to minimize all that information for it to

come down to one thing. And that is exactly what I'm going to be doing in this video today. And it almost feels

like it went by extremely fast now that time has gone by. But after 6 months of me just trying to put all this

information together, lost a couple thousand dollars. Another 6 months went by and then I was supposed to be

graduating from college, getting my AA on pretty much year two and my parents realized that I was not going to college

and there I had to pretty much break through the news that I was doing this whole trading stuff and I was probably

about a year in year and a couple months in and I was so deeply invested that I had no other choice but to continue to

go. There was no way I was going to continue in figuring out a different way on how to make money online once I've

already invested a whole entire year into this. And things were starting to click, or at least I thought they were

at the time. So, I basically broke the news to my parents. I said, "Hey, I'm trying this whole trading stuff. I need

you guys just to give me some time to figure it out. My parents did not believe in me. They weren't supportive

of it. And I wouldn't either. I have old school Cuban parents that they barely know how to use WhatsApp. They don't

speak English. They honestly just all they understand is work on a regular job and that's how you're going to become

successful. It's not their fault. They were raised differently. But I knew that there was different ways on how to make

money in this world, especially online. So after about a year and a half, my parents aren't supporting me. I'm just

kind of living there at the house. I'm literally trading from my mom's closet. We have a closet downstairs and I'm just

trading out of that closet. And I'd say probably for the next six to eight months, it was a battle in between

myself and understanding the actual markets. So now I know exactly what trading is, how it works. But now I'm

just trying to figure out these patterns and if there really is one behind it. And I'd say after 6 months, it got to

the point where I was seeing the patterns. I would see things happen over and over again. But I just wasn't

entering at the exact point. I was either entering too late, I was entering too early, and I was probably closing

out my profits too short, my stop losses were too tight, I was just doing a lot of minor mistakes that accumulatively

made me a unprofitable trader. Right around the 2-year mark, my parents once again are pressuring me, what am I going

to do with my life, and I just kept asking for time, still working at Dunkin Donuts, dabbling other jobs, but I'm

trying to dedicate as much time as I possibly can to trading. Now, at this point, I seek some different types of

more serious mentorships. I understand a little bit more. You know, you need act an actual strategy for you to actually

become a profitable trader. And right around the 2 and 1/2 year mark, I went from losing consistently for two and a

half years to having my first ever break even month. I'm like, whoa, I think I might be doing something right because

you know what? This month, I didn't blow any accounts. I didn't lose any profit accounts. Like, I think I'm on to

something. The month after that, so two months, two years and about seven months, I had another break even month,

but a little bit slightly in profit, probably 1%. And then the month after that, I was in profit 10%. I went from

being an extremely unprofitable trader to then a break even trader to having my first profitable month. All of that in

the span of nearly three years. And in this video, I'm going to shorten what I learned in 3 years, all of the mistakes

that I did, all the unnecessary information that I had in just a one class setting. This is going to save you

guys so much time, so much headache that I can't even I wish I had this when I got started. After my first profitable

month, everything literally just clicked. I started going from break even months to a profitable months to then

just this becoming the new normal. All I had to realistically do was look back at my actual winning month and be like,

what did I do right there? If that's what worked, let me just double down on it when I see it again and then again

and again and again. And then you fast forward for another year. So I'm about three and a half years into my journey.

I am now a full-time trader. I think on my third year, three month three years and one month, I left Dunkin Donuts,

left my job, and I'm now just a full-time profitable trader. Told my parents that it's actually working.

They're seeing the money. they're believing it. And then right around my fourth year, I decided to just start

posting on social media because, you know, that was the only way to pretty much meet people as a trader cuz if

you're a trader, you're kind of in an office like this. You're just home 24/7. You're never going to really engage with

anybody cuz you don't need to go out to a social setting for anything. Everything you could just do it from

home. And all of my friends that I had in my journey as I was learning trading, all of my high school friends, I pretty

much separated myself from them because they didn't believe in my journey. They didn't understand what it was and they

were causing me so much stress trying to convince them of what it is and that it's actually possible that it was

distracting me from the journey. So, at this point in my journey, I'm really by myself and I'm just trying to open up my

doors to new people, just meet people, maybe meet some new girls, attract girls, cuz I'm realistically just making

a decent amount of money by clicking a couple buttons and I have so much free time throughout the day. And like a

hurricane or like a snowstorm or whatever you want to call it, it just blew up. I started posting, you know, I

bought my first supercar, which is an Audi R8. I started posting profits. I'm making a couple thousand dollars every

single day. And out of nowhere, this created this massive community of other people wanting to learn how to do the

same thing. The questions that I was getting asked were pretty simple questions. And I decided to say, you

know what? Let me just start helping people. And I just started posting YouTube videos. And fast forward another

three, four years, and we're here where I arguably think I have one of the biggest trading communities in the

industry. And I have helped thousands of people all around the world and shortened their learning curve from

years to months and gotten people to make tens of mistakes a day to maybe one a week and then them learning from that

and using those losses that they avoid to optimize and actually be able to risk the correct amount of money on the right

markets. So it all went from being a unprofitable trader by himself to then developing a skill set without even

knowing it, posting it accidentally on social media. it blowing up and now to the point where I just changed traders

lives all around the world and now this video is for you. And the only reason why I gave you this whole entire

backstory is so you understand at the point where I am right now in my journey. I have so much free time that

all I generally have passion about right now is just helping other people. I am literally dedicating more than 10 hours

to make this video for you because this video is going to probably be 10 hours and I'm done with it. But for me to

record it, for it to all get shortened down to the point where I probably put 20, 25 hours into this video, I'm doing

this for you. So, all I ask for you is to literally only focus on this video. And if by the end of this video, you did

not learn anything. You have absolutely no value. Hit the unsubscribe button, block me, never look at me ever again.

Don't believe me. But I am putting so much time and so much effort into this video because I personally really do

wish I saw one of these videos when I got started in my journey. So if you have any question, if you have any

concern, just go back, pause the video, write down notes. If I were to show you the amounts of notes that I took when I

was learning in my journey, I think I wrote down the same thing 15 different times because I was watching 15 of the

same videos just in different ways from different people. And that confused me so much because everybody would say it

in a different way. And what I can guarantee you is in order for you to become a profitable trader like me,

there is no other video that you need to watch online, including my own, because this video is literally going to teach

you every single topic, every single subject that you need to know to understand the markets exactly that I

do. Once this video is finished, the only thing that separates you and I is going to be experience. And that is

what's going to lead you to become a profitable trader. So right now, if you're driving, if you're at work,

you're on a lunch break and you started this video, make sure you pause it, put a bookmark on it, and come back to it

when you're ready to sit down and actually focus. Do not halfass this video. Do not put it on 2x. The points

of trading is for you to take your time with it. This is a marathon, not a sprint. And you attempting to learn this

information faster is actually going to slow you down because you're trying to speed things up and get all this

information as fast as you can. It actually slows you down because you're not going to process it and understand

it and you're going to have to come back and watching it again. So, it's going to actually take you double the amount of

time. No matter how fast you want to learn this, it takes time. It takes repetition and you need to understand

this is a brand new language. And a perfect analogy that I can put is let's say you're going to go build a house and

the same day you buy the land, that same exact day, you have the builders, you have the plumbers, you have the roofers,

you have the carpenters, you have the landscapers, everything. You cannot have the roofers put on the roof if the

builders haven't even built up the walls. You cannot have the gardeners put up the garden if they haven't finished

the construction. You're going to mess up your garden. Everything is a stepbystep process and it takes time.

And that is exactly what this video is intended to do. It's intended to go step by step in the correct order and for it

to be taken my time for me to explain to you so you understand it at the correct time. Now, with that being said, let's

officially begin this video. And if you are not 100% ready to write down notes, if you don't have your notepad out, if

you're not in a calm setting, if you're not locked in, you don't have your headphones in, do not watch this video.

Click the pause button and come back when you're ready. It's going to be a lot more effective that you watch this

video when you are 100% prepared to actually watch this video so you take a notes effectively and you understand

everything effectively. So with that being said, let's begin. So what is this trading stuff? What is this forex? What

is this stocks? What is this crypto indices, commodities, futures? What is this charts? What is trading? Well, I'm

sure we've all seen charts, right? This is what a chart is. chart is when something goes up or something goes

down. You've probably seen it either on an actual candlestick format like that or you've seen it on a line chart like

this. These are different ways on how the markets are seen. You can see it on a line chart. You can see it on a bunch

of different ways. And don't worry, we're going to get into all of those different ways in just a second. But

what exactly is trading? Well, trading is when you're literally doing what it says. When you are trading, you're

trading one thing for another. Now, some people think when it comes to the forex exchange market, the foreign exchange

market, that you're actually trading one currency for the other. Some people think that, oh, the euro and the dollar,

you're actually buying the euro and you're exchanging it for the dollar, or you're selling the dollar and then

buying the euro. At no point are you ever actually doing that. You're essentially just betting that

something's going to be going up or something that's going to be going down. We're going to get into all of that in

just a second. Now, before I actually get into the charts and I show you how to actually read the markets, I first

need to teach you and educate you on the actual markets. What are these markets? What do they consist of? How do like

when I actually buy a currency, am I actually owning it? Like, do I actually buy the euro? Does that mean that I own

the euro? If I actually were to buy gold, does that mean that I actually own gold? If I were to trade the NASDAQ, do

I actually own a piece of a company? So, let me break down these actual markets and what they consist of, right? So

right here we're going to have all of the main markets that are going to run the trading industry or the trading

niche. And these are in order. The first market is going to be the foreign exchange market also known as the forex

market where every single day it moves anywhere from 7.5 to 8 trillion on a daily basis. This is not only the

largest market in the world but is actually decentralized and it is open 245. Now when I started trading in 2018

2019 I remember reading this exact same sentence right here and it was anywhere from five to $6.5 trillion. The fact

that in just five six years this has nearly almost added $3 trillion into trading volume is absolutely absurd to

me. This just shows the amount of opportunity that is inside of the foreign exchange market. So the beauty

of this market is that it is available 245. You can pretty much trade it whenever you want throughout the week.

And that is the beauty of the foreign exchange market. It is the most volatile market, has the most opportunity in it,

and it is available the most out of any single market. Next is going to be the stock market, which you've all heard of

the New York Stock Exchange. That's where people would trade on the trading floor. And this is where the global

stock market trade. And it's anywhere from 200 billion to 300 billion on a daily amount. So you can realize the

magnitude and the size of the foreign exchange market. It is nearly 15 times bigger, 20 times bigger on a daily basis

because you're trading every single currency in the world. Right here in the global stock market, you're pretty much

just trading around the US, mainly around the NASDAQ and all of these other different USA companies. Next we have

the commodity market which is going to consist of futures, oil, gold, wheat and the daily volume from this can vary in a

couple of billion dollars but it's around a hundred billion on a daily basis. Now when you go trade the

commodities markets when you go let's say you're going to go buy gold for example doesn't mean you actually are

going to own a piece of gold. You're just betting you're basically betting with the markets that gold is going to

go up in price. That's pretty much it. When you go buy oil or you go sell oil, at no point are you actually owning any

oil. It's all digital currency. It's all money on the screen. They're basically making an educated bet if this market is

going to go up or it's going to go down. At no point do you ever own anything when trading any of these markets except

the cryptocurrency markets. The cryptocurrency market has an average volume of 100 to 200 billion in day

trading volume, but it is extremely volatile and is mainly controlled by Bitcoin and Ethereum and a couple couple

of other stable coins. Now, obviously the problem with cryptocurrency is there's, you know, no centralization

around it. It's completely decentralized, very much how it is when it comes to the foreign exchange market.

But these currencies are backed by countries. They've been backed by hundreds of years. The crypto market is

still fairly new. It's been around for, let's call it, 20 years at the max, 25 years. And it's something that is

completely decentralized. And when you actually trade a cryptocurrency, let's trade, say you're trading Bitcoin,

Bitcoin, you actually own it. If you trade Bitcoin and it goes up, you make money with it. If you trade Ethereum and

it goes down, you lose money with it. Same very similar how it works with the foreign exchange market. But when you're

trading the foreign exchange market, at no given point, you actually own some of the actual currency. I can say I'm

trading EuroUSD. At no point do I actually own Euro or do I own USD? So all of these I'm going to go into great

detail of how you can actually trade them, which ones you should be trading, which you shouldn't be trading, and how

you can actually build a profitable strategy to actually trade on these markets. These are going to be the main

markets that are going to be out in the markets and that you should have any interest in trading them. Any markets

inside of these, they simply don't have enough trading volume. And if they don't have enough volume, which is big numbers

like this, the odds of you becoming a profitable trader are much more difficult because lack of volatility

means lack of opportunity. You want to make sure that you are in a market that has a fair amount of volatility, not too

much because then you're prone to getting major losses and all of that. I'll explain later into the video as

well. But you want to make sure that you have a decent amount of volatility so you can have good opportunity to

actually make money when it comes to trading. But I personally have been trading the foreign exchange market for

the last 7 years successfully and lately I've been dabbling a little bit with commodities and I just have been

investing into crypto when it comes to long-term. This is my form of an asset. I would much rather put multiple six

figures into a digital currency where it can make me 20 30% annually compared to putting it into real estate where let's

say it can make me those same returns but I have to deal with less headache. I've never personally traded the stock

market just because I am not interested in trading in a market that does not have anywhere near as much volume or

availability as the foreign exchange market. I've traded the NASDAQ. I've traded the S&P 500 and all of these

other stock markets. And you can also do that in the foreign exchange market. And all of that we're going to be breaking

that into this video. And we're going to be actually taking a trade together. You're going to be able to pause the

video, look at the profits or losses on your actual end. And then you're going to be able to have an clear

understanding of how to actually do this for yourself. And now before we get right started into what is actually

trading, I want to bust every single myth that is out there online. All of the myths that my parents thought that

this was that even including myself thought this was or just the people that have an opinion on something that

they're just simply not educated on. And there's nothing wrong with having an opinion, but it's always good to get

educated on it. So I'm going to bust every single myth on what trading isn't. Trading isn't a Ponzi scheme. There is

Ponzi schemes out there on people creating systems around trading. That is entirely true. But trading itself is not

a Ponzi scheme. Like people are just essentially betting that something is going to go up in value or that it's

going to go down in value. If it goes up in value, people make money. If it goes down in value, people lose money. That

is what trading is. So no, it's not a Ponzi scheme. Also, in order for you to actually become a trader, you don't need

to be a mathematician. You don't need to go to college. You don't need to get a degree. You don't need to be a genius.

To be fair, I graduated high school with nearly a 1.7 GPA, I think it was, or a 2.0 GPA. I can't even remember what it

was. I barely passed high school. I failed at college. I was not the smartest kid in class. But what I did do

was show up every single day to try and figure this out. I had a driving mindset that was going to lead me to success.

But I did not know what was the root square of 75 when a car is driving at 50 miles an hour and x equals 5. I have no

idea to this day what that is and I don't need to and I've had two Bugatti. So I think I've done very well. Trading

is not something that you need to have habits for. You don't need to wake up every single day and meditate. You don't

need to wake up and light up a candle, read a book, set a certain light, all of that Instagram, Tik Tok stuff. That is

not real. You do not need any of these morning routines in order for you to become a successful trader and

understand how to read the markets. I can be looking at the markets in front of my computer. I can be looking at it

on my phone about to board onto a flight. I can be looking at it while I'm driving, while I'm at the beach, while

I'm doing anything. All I need is a screen and decent amount of internet and I'm able to go ahead and look at the

markets. You don't need to set up a whole entire ambiance around me to actually read and understand the

markets. If you know how to read it, you know how to read it. And trading isn't also something that a lot of people

think like, oh, we're going to wait for price to come all the way to the bottom, so we buy. We're going to sell all the

way at the top. We do not try and predict tops or bottoms. Actually, on the complete contrary, I want the market

to be moving up very aggressively and I want to buy with that market. The trend is your friend. I've had that quote on

my desk, I think, for seven years. The trend is your friend. I am not here to create a trend. I'm not here to break a

trend. I'm here to trade with the trend. What do you think is easier? To swim against the current or with it? And here

in trading, we are here to swim with the current. At no point are we ever trying to predict something when it hits all

the way at the bottom and then we buy or something when it hits all the way at the top and then we sell. We trade with

the trends. And another one of the biggest misconceptions that people have is that they think that they need to be

in front of the markets all day in order for them to actually read the market and become a profitable trader. Do you need

to be in front of the markets for a long period of time for you to actually understand how the markets move? Yes.

But once you get it, you don't need to be in front of the markets every single day. Another one of the biggest

misconceptions that traders have or people in general when they get started into trading is that you need to be in

front of the markets all day every single day in order for you to be a trader and a profitable trader. That is

that cannot be further from the truth. The less amount of time that you spend in front of the markets, the more amount

of money that you're going to make. It's very counterintuitive because at the beginning you actually need to spend a

lot of time so you can learn and practice it. But once you understand the skill set, then you don't need to be in

front of the markets all day every single day. It's like when you're going to go learn a language, let's say you're

going to learn Chinese, for example, it's your first time learning Chinese. Are you going to have to spend more time

than the regular person that wants to learn Chinese in the class? Yes, you're going to have to spend more time. But

after you learning Chinese and being in the class for an extra hour every single day for the last six months, it gets to

the point where you no longer have to be in class for you to understand Chinese and to perfect it. You could be

listening to some music. You could be interacting with people on the street. That is where you practice it and you

perfect it. And then you don't need to speak Chinese every single day in order for you to master and perfect it. You

just need to make it part of your normal routine and it just becomes second nature. Once you learn it, you're not

going to unlearn it. It's the exact same thing with trading. Once you learn it, you don't need to be in front of the

markets every single day to trade. You only trade when it's time to trade. And by far probably the most important one.

People think you need money to make money in trading. And I'm going to answer this. The answer is true. You do

need money to make money. But you don't need a lot of money to get involved into trading and make a decent amount of

money. You can get started with a couple hundred bucks, maybe a couple thousand bucks, and that is going to lead you to

have returns equally to what you invest. It it is all based off of risk-to-reward. If you risk a hundred

bucks, you're going to make a couple hundred bucks. If you risk a couple thousand bucks, you're going to make a

couple thousand bucks. You're not going to turn a one singlehandedly $100 bill or a couple hundred dollar bills into a

quantion. That's not going to happen. Can you multiply it and scale it over time with proper risk management? Yes.

But you don't need a large amount of money to get involved. And people have this conception as well as as soon as

they put the money into the market, it's automatically gone. No, that is the complete like opposite. You actually

predetermine how much you want to risk of the capital that you put into trading every single time. Let's say right now I

go and deposit a h 100red bucks into the broker that I'm going to be using. That doesn't mean that that 100 bucks is

invested right away. That just means that the money is inside of a platform that then I can go and execute one of

these positions on. Now, before I execute that position, I'm going to pre-calculate my risk on my $100. I only

feel comfortable risking $10 on this trade. That's all I'm going to lose. And I'm going to be teaching you guys on how

to do that throughout this whole entire video. But I want to make it extremely clear what trading is not. Okay. So, now

that you understand that there is different types of markets out there. You have the currency market, commodity,

stocks, you have crypto. There is many different types of traders that executes on these type of markets. For example,

we can have what is called a positions trader, which these are also known as whales, which these traders happen to

take anywhere from one to two positions a month. These are people that have large sums of monies and they're

realistically not interested in being active every single day or every single week. So now moving on, now that you

understand that there's many different markets out there, you have the foreign exchange, the stocks, the crypto, all of

these different markets. There's different types of ways of trading these markets and there's many different types

of traders that execute these markets. Now, you can trade these markets as if you were to be a position trader, a

swing trader, day trader or a scalper. You can be any one of these traders and execute this style of trading on any one

of those markets. For example, if you were to be a position trader, these are also considered whales because they are

risking large sums of money either once or twice a month on certain positions that they take. They aim to have

anywhere from two to three to 4% a month realistically with minimal effort, minimal activity, and just large sums of

money. These large sums of money are this is why they're called whales and position trading, but this is more for

kind of institution style and people that aren't really active in front of the markets every single day. Can you

make money as a position trader? Of course. But it does require large sums of money because you're looking to

target bigger trades. So, you're going to have very, very, very big take profits, very, very, very big stop-

losses. I've attempted this style of trading in the past. It's just very expensive because you have to risk large

amounts of money because you get charged every single time you hold a position. And I'm going to get into all that stuff

later into the video, but this is a future way of I think everybody will eventually become a trader of as you

progress throughout this whole entire chain. Next, we have a swing trader. So, a swing trader is somebody that anywhere

that takes anywhere from four to five positions a month. And these positions that they take are not as big as the

positions traders, but they are decently big trades. And these trades happen to have the best risk-to-reward out of any

one of the traders. The swing traders are the ones that look on the higher time frames but still incorporate the

lower time frames to have entries and have great risk-to-rewards. I personally myself am a mix or a hybrid of a swing

trader and a day trader. And this has led me to be able to have the sniper entries of a day trader and the

takeprofits and the great risk-to-rewards and the big big big trades because of the swing trading

approach. So a swing trader takes anywhere from four or five trades a month. The trades that they take are

very sniper, very accurate, and they tend to be probably the more patient traders next to the position trade. Next

to that, we have a day trader. So day trader are somebody that are obviously most commonly known in the trade

industry. We all know trading because of day trading. You trade every single day, but that doesn't mean that you're

actually trading every single day, but you're more or less looking to be active either two to three times a week on a

market. Really depends the types of opportunities that you get. Because typically, if you were to enter a trade

today, it should hit your take profit today. Maybe it can overlap into tomorrow. That's where you take anywhere

from two to three, maybe even four trades a week on the higher end. Day traders tend to have anywhere from a 40

to 50% win rate, but obviously they're taking a lot of positions and the risk-to-reward isn't as high. A swing

trader's win rate tends to be anywhere from 60 to 65% because they're taking less trades, which the quality means

that they're much better. And then a swing trader's win rate tends to be anywhere from 70 to 65% but their

risk-to-reward tends to be even greater than that. Last but not least, or like I would like to say definitely least is

going to be a scalper. Scalp trading is probably what every single person thinks that they are when they come into

trading because people think that the more amount of positions that you are in, the more money that you will make

and that cannot be further from the truth. A scalper is somebody that tries to take two to three trades every single

day, a trade every single day. And that actually overexposes yourself and puts you at more risk because the more you

get involved into the market, the more risk you are in. The more you're actually trading, the more odds you have

of losing. The less you trade, the less likely you are to lose. So then you might ask me, "Wait, Alex, so then how

do you actually make money if you're not involved?" You make money by entering the right trade at the right spot, and

you let it ride. You make money while the market moves. You don't make money by getting involved into the market. Two

very very big like they're two completely different things. And the quicker you understand that, the quicker

you're going to make money in trade. You don't make money in trading by getting involved. You make money in trading by

getting involved at the right time at the right place and let the market move. Let the market do its thing. Let it

create the market structure. Let it go up. Let it go down. Whatever you're doing with it, and that's when you make

the money. every single time you enter a position, you're adding more risk to your account, which in turn can end up

to you losing. Yes, it could also mean that you can make money, but nowhere near as if you were to enter one solid

position and you let it run. If this doesn't make sense right now, don't worry. It's all going to click

throughout this video. Right now, I just want you to have a deep understanding of the different types of traders that

there is out there. My personal favorite is going to be a day trader or a swing trader and then the happy medium right

in the middle. Everybody starts off as a scalp trader because they want to enter a bunch of positions thinking they're

going to make more money, but then they end up developing and growing as a person and become a day trader. These

are the main types of traders that go and execute on either the foreign exchange market, the stock market, or

the crypto market. Okay. So, now that you understand that what type of markets you're going to be trading, the type of

trader that you can be on this market, let's actually start breaking down the exact markets that you are going to be

trading. We'll figure out what type of trader you are later in this journey and see which one makes the most sense for

you. But the most important thing that you understand is what type of markets you're going to be trading. So, we're

going to be breaking down the foreign exchange markets. This is the most volatile markets, the markets with the

most amount of opportunity and gives you the most possibility to make the most amount of money. So, we're going to be

breaking down a forex pair, a currency pair, a market that is consisted of currency, right? So, as you can tell,

all of these markets here to my right hand side, they're all different types of currency markets. The USD versus the

CAD, the pound versus the Canadian, the Australian versus the Canadian. And don't worry, I'm going to teach you how

to set up this whole trading view, all of this Chinese that you think this is this is a new language to you. Don't

worry, I'm going to help you set all of this up. But, we're going to first start off by breaking down what is a currency

pair and how does this even work? Well, in order for you to trade the foreign exchange market, you have to trade one

currency against the other. You're basically betting that one is going to get stronger than the other or that that

one's going to get weaker than the other, which enhances the same exact thing. If something gets stronger, that

means the other gets weaker. It's very simple. So, all we are doing when we are trading a currency market is we are

betting that something is either going to go up or betting that something is going to go down. At no given point, if

I'm trading the EuroUSD, for example, which is this market that we have here, at no point am I ever actually owning

any actual euro, or am I actually ever selling the dollar against the euro or buying the euro against the dollar? If

I'm trading the Canadian dollar versus the pound, at no point do I actually own any physical Canadian dollars or do I

have any British pounds at no given point. All I am doing is I am betting that one is going to get stronger than

the other. So how does this betting work you may ask? Well, it's very simple. This is a currency pair. It's made up of

two different currencies. The first currency is going to be the base. So this is the base currency of the pair.

Then we have the quote currency which is the other currency pair. These two markets are constantly in a battle. Who

is stronger than the other? If this market decides to continue to go to the upside and it starts creating market

structure like this to the upside that means that the euro is stronger than the dollar. If this market is then moving to

the downside like this then that means that the dollar is stronger than the euro. Now how would I know that? How

does that make sense? Well, it's very simple because this base currency is what's going to drive the price up. If

we are currently at a with a very strong euro market and the euro is very very very strong that is going to mean that

it's stronger than the dollar and it's going to push price to the upside. If the dollar is going to become strong

then that means that it's going to be stronger than the euro and it's going to push price to the downside. So this

quote currency the best way to understand it is if it's getting strong you want the market to go down. If this

base currency is getting strong, you want this market to then go up. Now, I wanted to be very clear. When you want

this market to be strong, when you want the euro to go to the upside, you want to buy this market. You're going to buy

eurousd. Once again, you're not buying any euros. You're essentially just betting that the euro is going to get

stronger than the dollar for a period of time, whether that be a couple of hours, a day, a week, a month, whatever the

case is. But then if you want to sell EuroUSD, at no given point are you actually selling the dollar? You're just

betting that the dollar is going to get stronger than the euro. So are they both equally as important? Can they both have

equally the same amount of moves? Absolutely. Just because a market is going up doesn't mean that that's going

to be more probable or stronger than a market that is going down. Remember this market going down doesn't mean that the

dollar is getting weak. it actually means that it's going to be getting stronger against the euro. So whenever

you are selling EuroUSD or selling any market, you're basically betting that this market is indeed getting stronger

than this one. It really comes down to the way it represents in this battle well or in any battle. If somebody is

winning, that means that they are standing up and fighting and if somebody is losing, they fall down to the floor.

Well, in this market, it's actually the complete opposite because this fight never ends. This fight is a forevergoing

market between the dollar and the euro. Markets going up, markets going down. And whenever the markets are going up,

that means that the euro is winning the fight. Whenever the markets are going down, that means that the dollar is

winning the fight. But at no point does a fight ever end, the fight is always going to go on as long as we have both

of these currencies. So whenever the fight is going down, that means that the dollar is getting strong, the euro is

getting weak. Whenever the fight decides to continue to go back up, that means that then the euro is going to be

getting stronger against the euro. That's really what it comes down to. These are two fighters fighting up and

down. And then whenever they're going in one direction, that means they're getting strong. Now, what are these

numbers right here, right? What is this numbers that keep going up and down? Well, this is actually probably the most

important thing that you need to understand what it is, but you're never going to actually use it because you

don't really care what the actual exchange rate. So these numbers right here are the exchange rate of the actual

currency pair. And as you can see it right here on the live market. That's why it's 1.17.

So $17 is going to equal 1o. That is really all that this is right here. So this just

lets you know where the market is in terms of price. And these numbers going up and down is what's going to lead you

to determine whether okay, I want to buy or I want to sell. But at no point are you ever actually going to be looking at

these numbers. These numbers just reflect what the actual charts are going to be doing. When we go to the

candlestick charts, these charts will just reflect on this price right here. This price is going to reflect on these

charts. So, this right here is what a currency pair is. It's a battle of both of these markets 245 for the rest of

history. And whenever one is going up, that one's winning. And whenever this one's going down, this one is winning.

There is endless amounts of currency pairs out there. I personally trade myself 15 to 20 different ones because

there's just more opportunity on the more markets that you trade. And there is more volatile currency pairs. And

then there is less volatile currency pairs. Obviously currency pairs that are less commonly known. Let's say like the

noggin, the Mexican peso that don't tend to have as much volume compared to the US dollar, to the euro, or to the

British pound. They're going to be a lot less volatile. Can you still trade them? Can there still be loads of

opportunities? Of course. But the odds of you making big moves on those markets are very unlikely. Can you still do it?

Yes. And I'm going to be educating you how to properly do that as we continue to go on throughout this video. I just

first want to teach you exactly what a currency pair is and how it works because this right here is what you will

be trading 245. And you need to understand exactly what you are doing whenever you are trading these type of

markets. And these right here are going to be known as the major currency pairs. You're going to have your euro versus

the dollar, the pound versus the dollar, the dollar versus the Japanese yen, the dollar versus the Swiss Frank, the

dollar versus the Canadian dollar, the Australian versus the dollar, and the New Zealand versus the dollar. If you

can see a pattern here, they're always going to have the dollar in it. The dollar is obviously the one that is the

most respected, the most valued currency in the market. It is the simple fact and it is always going to be used against

the next main currency pair. Now, some people sometimes ask, why isn't it USD versus euro? And this is just the way

the market's set up. I don't have the answer to that question. Is there any point where they're actually flipped

over? I'm going to be completely honest. No, I have never even considered that. But even if it were to get flipped over,

let's say it's the USD versus the euro, it's still the exact same thing. It's just this time instead of the dollar

reflecting its strength while going down, it's going to reflect its strength while going up. Same thing for the euro.

So, everything remains exactly the same. This is just the way that the currency market has set it up. So these are the

main currency pairs that you should be trading. And the reason why you should be trading these currency pairs is

because one, there's a lot of volatility in it. Meaning that it is indeed going to give you lots of opportunities. Two,

since there is a lot of volatility, that means that there the cost to operate in these markets are going to be very low

because people are moving constant funds inside of these pairs. So the cost to get involved is not that high. And on

top of that, these tend to also be the trades that have the best moves in the right sessions. And three, these are the

markets that tend to have the best moves. Now, when I mean the best moves, I mean that they actually have proper

moves because other currency markets that aren't as volatile or aren't as respected in the market. They tend to

have the most random moves, moves that cost people a lot of money and it tends them to lose. Now, I'm not saying you

shouldn't trade uh any other markets that are not these, but I'm saying that these markets tend to have the most

respected moves. They don't tend to have these major spikes. They don't tend to have these unnecessary fees which end up

potentially taking you out of your stop loss when price didn't really make it there. These are all a bit more advanced

stuff and we'll get to that throughout this whole entire video. And I trade these other markets all the time. I

trade the most random markets. You know, I'll trade the Canadian dollar versus the Japanese yen and find great

opportunities there. But I just have to understand it a risk associated with trading in those currency pairs. This

right here are going to be the major currency pairs and the ones that tend to have the best price to actually trade

cost less and have the best moves. So we'll break these down with the actual strategy and how to actually trade it

later into this video. Okay, so now moving on to the next subject. Now that you understand what a actual currency

pair is and you understand that they're in a constant battle up and down and that there is a neverending on this

fight and there's never a winner. There's just some streaks where one currency is winning and there's another

streak where another currency pair is winning. Now you now you have to understand that this battle this fight

has to be reflected based off of something like we have to see the trail of this fight. When a currency pair is

going up, it leaves a trail. When a currency pair is going down, it leaves a trail. Now we need somewhere to show us

this fight. Now this fight could be shown in many different formats. You can see this fight either in a line chart

formation. You can see that the euro for example is getting stronger then the dollar gets stronger then the euro gets

stronger again. So this is the line chart that is representing how this fight is going. You can also have this

famous bar chart which the bar chart shows whenever it's green that the euro is getting strong. Whenever the red bar

comes out that means the dollar is getting strong. So on and so forth. Then we have the candlestick chart which is

the most commonly known in the trading industry which is where you have the green and red candles and that is the

representation of the fight. So there's many different types of charts and all of these charts are representing the

exact same price. This right here is Euro USD. This is Euro USD and this is Euro USD. It's just representing the

fights in a different format. The best analogy that I can give you for this is for example, let's say Mike Tyson and

Floyd Mayweather are going to be fighting. Now, you can either watch the fight in person or you can watch the

fight on TV or you can hear the fight over the radio or you can simply hear the fight over a headphone. Right?

You're hearing, watching, you're getting the exact same feedback on the exact same fight at the exact same point.

every single point, whether it's on TV, whether it's in person, whether it's in radio, whether you're just listening to

it, you're going to be hearing the same exact thing. Oh, Mike Tyson at this point was beating and knocked down Floyd

Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather came back up, hit him with an uppercut, but then Mike Tyson knocked him out. Whether you

are hearing that, whether you are seeing that, whether you are just listening to it, all of these are the exact same

information of the battle of the currency pair up and down just being represented in different ways. That's

really all it is. And the most commonly known one is going to be the actual candlestick chart. The candlestick chart

is where you're going to actually be able to trade off of the famous Japanese candlesticks and actually see patterns

that constantly repeat themselves in a very effective way. These are going to be the markets that I'm going to be

educating you guys on on how to properly execute these trades and actually trade in these markets. The bar chart is not

mainly commonly known for traders. This is used for a different type of style which I'm not entirely sure how it

works. So, I can explain something I'm not simply educated on. And if up to this point right now in my trading

journey, I have literally not used it one single time. I feel like it's not necessary. I saw maybe 15 videos of this

when I got started in my trading journey. None of them ever made sense. And I just simply wasted time and

clouded my mind with information that I was simply never going to use and was not going to be effective in my trading

style at all. So then I wasted time and not giving focus on to what actually mattered, which was the candlestick

chart. That's what I'm going to do for you guys in this video. Tell you guys a little bit of what everything is.

literally only focus on what matters and can remove the noise of what doesn't matter. Next, we have the line chart,

which is equally important because this is going to lead you to understand the proper market structure on the time

frame or on the market that you're going to be interested in. Have an understanding that this right here is

like watching the real fight in real time. These candlesticks, these wicks, these moves down, this is like you're

watching the fight in person. and you're getting the sweat that is falling on you. If you're sitting first row, you're

hearing the roar of the audience. Like, you're getting everything as real, as raw as it gets. No commercials.

Everything is on the spot. Think of the line chart as if you were to be watching the fight on TV. And you might be asking

why. Well, it's because this only creates these structure points once the market has actually closed. Once a

candlestick has closed, the next one has opened. Like, this doesn't really represent a move until it is completely

done. I'm going to be breaking all that down in just a second, but think of this as the next step. So, first you have the

live, which is real raw fight. This is happening in real time. And then this you get commercials. Maybe you have

maybe it might have a 15 20 second delay just because of the way it gets transmitted. But then after that, there

is nothing else that is going to be important. We're not going to be using no bar charts and we're not going to be

using the scatter plot. Neither one of these are going to be useful. They're just a different way on how to represent

the fight. I am not educated on it at all. I just wanted to show you different representations of how the candlestick

chart looks compared to the line chart. So, now that you understand that the only two types of charts that you're

going to be focusing on is going to be the line chart and the candlestick chart, let me actually just show you

guys how this looks like in real time, right? So, let me just remove this right here and let's actually go to the real

markets. So, right now, for example, let's say we go to EuroUSD. So, we're going to type EuroUSD here on Trading

View, and we're just going to go to a random EuroUSD market. Now, don't worry if you don't know how to use Trading

View just yet. I'm going to help you set all that up, but I first want to educate you on how the charts work. So, we were

to click this section up here, you can tell that we have our bar charts, we have our candlestick line charts, we

have our hollows. There's many different ways on how you can determine whether this market is going to get stronger or

weaker with all of these different types of formations. So, now that you understand that, basically the

difference between the line chart, the bar chart, and the candlestick chart is really just how the fight in between the

currency pair is represented. Let me show you this in a realtime chart. Right? So, for now, we're just going to

move this down, and we're going to head over to the top section over here of Trading View, and I'm going to show you

the multiple different ways on how you can actually look at this fight. Now, don't worry. Later into the video, I'm

going to show you how to set up Trading View, which one of these options should you actually be looking at, cuz I get

it. This can almost seem like information overload, but I'd tell you that maybe 50% of the buttons on this

website you're never going to use, and the other half of it are very simple to use, right? So, let's start off with the

bar chart. So right now we are looking at BTC or we can be looking at EuroUSD or we can looking at any single chart

right. So for us right now since we're using Euro USD as the example let's go to EuroUSD and as you can tell there's

many different Eurusds. You have some on FXCM on GBEN Forex.com Kraken. Probably wondering

what's the difference between this EuroUSD and this one. And the only difference between this EuroUSD and this

one is that it's on a different server. So this is the FXEM server. So this is a broker and this broker gets certain data

feeds and it offers Euro USD at a different price. It's the exact same market. It's just offered maybe a couple

of points higher, couple of points lower. It's really the only difference. But for example purposes, we're going to

go to this one, right? It's all going to be the same thing. So right now, this is what EuroUSD looks like on the actual

bar chart. So, if you notice, whether it's on a bar chart, whether it's on a line chart, whether it's on a

candlestick chart, you're always going to have the price be at the exact same point, 1.17301.

Now, that is on the ICE server. If we were to go to a different server, which let me just type it in right here. So,

we have 1.1301. Let's say we go to capital.com, we have it at 1.1303.

The exact same chart. It's just points are minorly up or down. And the chart might look slightly different. Something

that you probably like barely even notice. Just going to have little more structure points here, less structure

points here. The one that I personally use is always going to be the server. So for me, the server is the most accurate.

It's based off of one of the main US regulated brokers in the US and it's the one that I personally use for simple I

guess you can almost call it like a superstition reason, but I've never really used any other one. I'm sure I

can use any other one. They are all pretty much the same. The points are off not much. So, back to the line charts,

back to how these different type of markets work. We'll get into all of this different broker stuff, different

markets, liquidities, and and how this stuff works once we get to that point. Right now I just want to explain to you

the basic points charts, right? So this is a line chart. So this line chart right here is exactly what the fight

looks like in between euro and the US dollar on the line chart. This is what the fight looks like on the euro versus

the US dollar on the bar chart. This is what the fight looks like on the euro versus the US dollar on the line chart

with markers. If you were to look at the area, if you were to look at the columns, if you were to look at the high

low, you were to look at the volume footprint. I guess I don't have this option, but if you were to look at any

other one, that is exactly how it looks. This right here is literally the exact same market movement. It's just the

fight is being represented in different ways. the most accurate way and the cleanest way to look at the market and

actually be able to develop a actual strategy and be able to predict patterns based off of how I've been doing it for

the last 7 years and I've been teaching people to do it is based off of the candlestick. So we come over here to the

trading view and the candlestick is going to be the next one, the candlestick chart. Now, I have a

specific indicator which is called a no gap candlesticks which is very easy to apply and I'll show you guys how to

apply it right now just so you can do it once we get to that point. But it'll be very easy. All you have to do is just go

to indicators, type in no gap candlesticks, and I'm kind of getting a little bit ahead of myself here, but

we'll we'll just do it for now. You click on the no gap candlesticks, and then once you click on it, it basically

pops up. And that's how you would implement the no gap candlesticks. Aside from that, I'll teach you how to

actually adjust it because right now you're probably having an overlap with your actual candlesticks. And you know,

I'll teach you how to do that just a second later into the video cuz I want to get into the indicators and I also

want to explain to you how this EMA works, why I use this EMA, which one is my EMA, so on and so forth. So the

candlestick charts are basically consisted of multiple different time frames based off of these candlesticks.

As you can tell over here next to the type of candlesticks that I have, these candlesticks are being represented in

different time frames. For example, right now we are on the 4hour time frame, meaning this candle right here

closes every 4 hours. So this candlestick right here, the way it's being closed right now, has about 38

minutes left. Meaning it has been open for 3 hours and 20 minutes nearly. This candlestick closed 4 hours ago, 4 hours

ago, and 4 hours ago. This is what this market looks like based off of this 4hour time frame. If we were to go to

the two-hour time frame for example, this happens to be a candlestick once again that is closes every 2 hours. So

every single one of these candlesticks is 2 hours. This candlestick right here is the 1 hour closes as well in 38

minutes. All because the market closes in the next 40 minutes. So a lot of these candlesticks are going to be

closing at the same time. Next on the 30 minute, this candlestick has 12 minutes left before this one closes. Every

single one of these candlesticks is a 30 minute candle. Then we have the 15-minut time frame, which this candle closes in

the next 12 minutes as well. All we have just done here from the 4 hour or if we go up to the daily or we go up to the

weekly is we are just looking at the fight from different points in the arena. So let's say you're actually in

the fight, right? So, we understand that there's different ways for you to watch the fight. You have watching the fight

in person, which would be the candlestick chart. You have the line chart, which is like watching it on TV.

And then you have the bar chart, which is like listening to it on the radio or having some headphones on. Right? These

are all the different formats for you to actually watch the fight. Now, we've decided that we're going to watch the

fight in person because it's obviously the best one. You're there in real time. You get real updates and you're there

live. There's nothing like being at a live fight. Now, where are you sitting in that live fight? Are you right there

front row? Are you in the middle? Are you a bit higher on the stands? Or are you in the nosebleleeds? Which one are

you? That's exactly what these time frames are right here. The higher the time frame, the higher you're going to

be in the arena. The lower the time frame, the closer you are going to be to the ring. And you can get all the way as

low to 1 second. Meaning you can go to the one second time frame and you can literally see every single candlestick

that closes every second. I don't have that feature unlocked here on Trading View simply because I don't use that

feature. The lowest time frame I go is the 15. But with the feature that I have, you can go all the way up to the

one minute, meaning every single minute a candlestick closes and you're going to be seeing every single one of those

details. Believe me, you're never going to want to be this low into the time frames. It's just way too detailed. You

can never actually see anything. And this right here is just a quick representation to give you a visual of

what I'm talking about. So, we've decided that we're going to go watch the fight in person. Now, there's many

different places we could be sitting. We could be at the skyscrapers, which is going to be like the weekly time frame.

We could be here in this middle area, which this is going to be the daily time frame. Then, we can have this outer

area, which this could be the 4 hour. This area could be the 2hour. This area could be the 1 hour. And then this area

up over here can be the 30 minutes. And this can be the 15 minutes. Speaking from personal experience, the best area

to actually be sitting on these fights is going to be the weekly time frame. Now, you may be asking, Alex, why that's

super far? Well, because from up here, you can actually see the fight. You're actually looking from the top down. The

closer you actually get to the arena, you're looking at it more of a horizontal way. And I don't know about

you guys, but I wasn't blessed to be the tallest guy in the room, right? I'm not super short. I'm 5'9, 510. At these

fights, everybody happens to be giants and everybody likes to stand in this area here. So, if everybody's standing

and they're taller than me, I can't see the fight. And the fight is on a platform. And since the fight's on a

platform, guess what? Not only can I not see because there's somebody big on top of like right in front of me, but then

the fight is also elevated. So, you're almost looking up. And if the people were to fall, for example, on this side,

I can't see them at all. Like, you're just not seeing them. you have to be looking up directly to the screen to see

what's happening. So, the point that I want to get to this is don't think the more detailed you can see stuff and

because something closes every single minute or every single second that it's better because you get to see more

details. That's actually completely false. You want to make sure that you can be watching in from above and you

can see everything from a higher standpoint and you can almost see stuff coming because you're watching

everything as it unfolds. So, this is how going through the candlestick formats is right. So, we're looking at

the exact same price, right? So, if you notice right here, this is EuroUSD. On the daily time frame, it's 1.1314.

If we go down to the 4 hour, it's the same 1.1314. Obviously, the market's moving right

now, so it's going to fluctuate one of these two points. But if I go down to the 2 hour, 1 hour, and the 30 minute

quickly, you can see that it's all the exact same price feed. You're just looking at it in a much more detailed

format. It's just being represented in a more detailed. So this 4hour candlestick right here that we are looking at, it's

being broken down into two candlesticks when we go to the 2-hour time frame. So now it's going to be these two

candlesticks right here. Now these two candlesticks are going to be broken down into another candlesticks once we go

down to the 1 hour. Now these candlesticks right here, this 1 hour candlestick is going to be broken down

to then another 30 minute candlestick once we go down to the 30 minute. So on and so forth. So, what I'm trying to get

you to understand here is that when you're looking at the candlesticks, because you go from this time frame to

this time frame, doesn't mean you're looking at a completely different market. You're looking at a completely

different format. No, you're looking at the exact same fight. You're looking at the exact same market, just in a much

more detailed way. And sometimes having those details is good. Sometimes having those details is bad. All that unfolds

and it kind of comes together when you're actually executing a strategy and doing proper top- down analysis and

executing on the market. And I'm going to teach you guys how to do all that later into this video. Right now, I've

just taught you what type of markets, how to break it down, and then the importance of understanding why these

time frames are a thing. Right? So, that's only the beginning of these time frames. Now, a lot of you guys may be

asking, Alex, okay, cool. I get it. But how does the candlestick actually work? Like, what is this line up here? What is

this line down here? Very simple. Picture, we can go down to the one minute time frame to see this as real as

it gets. Picture this market right here as this candlestick right now is about to close in the next two seconds. It's

going to close right there. And now another one is going to open from where this one closed. As soon as this next

candlestick opens from this one that closed, it's either going to go up or down, right? It's really not going to do

anything else. Now, this market, as soon as it opened, it went up. Now, if this market in the next 42 seconds, it

decides to not move at all, it will close like that. and then another candlestick will open right next to it

and it will either continue to go up or go down. But let's say right now that this market decides to have a push to

the downside. There's going to be what is called a wick, which is that exactly right there once it actually had a

little bit of a retracement, which will look like this. It's going to be a wick. That wick is basically representing

where price has been. So, for example, right there, you can tell price has been to that high point. So, if I were just

to get a line right here, that is the highest point the body of that move has been. And if this market decides to now

have a reversal down and close to the downside, it will close with that wick. So, in the next 2 seconds, we're about

to find out if it's going to close with that wick or not. And I believe it has closed with the wick. Right now, since

we're headed towards the closure of market, market tends to move, you know, pretty slow. There's just simply not a

lot of volatility. But this next candlestick should be opening right now. And as soon as it opens, it's either

going to continue going up or come down. And this candlestick will officially have been closed with that wick. And you

can see that this next candlestick just opened super quick. Had a push to the downside. And now at one point it was

down here. I just literally didn't manage to grab it because I was going back and forth on the time frames, but

came down here. Then it went back up. Now this next candlestick, this one has closed here. This one opened, wicked up.

Now it's wicking back down, wicking back up. So what this line is, what this tail is, what this hair wick, whatever, what

the proper name is a wick. This right here is a wick, but many people have a lot of creative names for it. All this

right here is just the history of where price has been. So right now this candlestick is currently creating that

wick right now. It's currently creating that high created up to that point. And if it closes right here, that is where

the trail of the candlestick has been. This is the market showing us how the market is moving. Is it moving very

aggressively to the upside? Is it rejecting this area? Because this wick right here is shown as a sign of a

rejection. Clearly price was bullish or this candlestick was completely filled all the way up to this point. But

something happened in the market that it pushed it down. In turn, that should then mean that it should continue to be

pushed down. For example, that closed with a small wick at this area. So that means that the sellers aren't as strong,

but now we have very strong sellers coming into this area. Now, for example, so let's say this market closes with the

wick all the way down here and out. And you can see how this market can wow this is you know moving very aggressively but

this is showing you guys how the markets can move how fast it can move even though we are in the last couple of

hours of the markets. This right here if it somehow reverses and it has a push to the upside then this would have a very

big wick right it could look something like this. But see this right here is continuously pushing down this market.

And if wherever it closes this wick is doing the trail of where that market has been. Now that wick is equally as

respected when it comes to the 1 minute time frame, 15-minut time frame, 1 hour time frame, daily, 4 hour. These are all

different types of wicks that are being created. So, as you can tell on the 1 minute time frame, that might have

looked like a massive bearish candlestick, but you look at it right here in the 4 hour and this 4 hour looks

pretty much exactly the same from when we started talking about this subject a couple of minutes ago. So that's why the

lower time frames it might seem like a very big wow move but in reality it doesn't affect any of the higher time

frames. Are the lower time frame used in order to determine a trade and do they go in sync with the higher time frames?

Absolutely. But there's a way there's a time and a place to actually execute that correctly. But if you can tell that

one minute big bearish candlestick looks like it might have had this fall off a cliff. But then when you go look at it

back to the 4 hour time frame, this literally looks exactly the same from when we actually started trading. But I

just want you guys to understand what these wicks are. That means that the market at one point it was a completely

bullish candlestick into this area and then something drove price all the way down and then it ended up closing here.

Once it closed here, this candlestick opened, had its move up and down, created that history. This is where this

market closed. Then this one opened up, had its history, it closed, and then this is where this one opened up, had

this push up, and as of right now, it's right here. And then next 24 minutes, this candlestick will close. And then

another one will open and either have its push up or down or however it ends up closing. But once one candlestick

closes, another one opens right next to it. And this will be the neverending battle of the market. And our job as

traders is to determine what that next move is going to be and let's us capitalize off of that move because

these market opportunities and these this battle is a never-ending battle. All right. So now moving on to the next

subject. Now that you understand that the candlestick chart is like watching a fight. That is the way that it's being

represented. And the closer you are to the arena which is the lower the time frame you are means the more precise

you're watching the fight. The higher the time frame you are, the higher you are actually watching the time frame,

but you're watching the exact same trade. You're watching the exact same market. You're watching the exact same

fight. It's just being represented in a much more detailed format. Your USD, you could be watching on a daily, 1 hour, 30

minute. You're just looking at in a much more detailed format. And now you know what those wicks are and how the

candlestick leaves those trails, so on and so forth, right? But I want to explain to you now the actual trading

sessions when it comes to the strength of the time to actually be watching that fight. When is the right time to

actually be there and be involved? Because if not cuz you know to be honest you can't really be involved 24/7 even

if you wanted to because you're going to be there at times where there will simply be absolutely no volume where

you're just going to waste your time and the people are going to be tired. Right? So, the best way I could put the

analogy, and I love my analogy sometimes, but I feel like they're just too precise that I I I forget to go back

to trading. If people are fighting, there's going to get a point where they're going to get tired, right? And

if they're tired and, you know, they're drinking water, they're stretching, they're eating food, you know, that's

pretty boring, right? You want to see blood, you want to see somebody get knocked out, you want to see somebody

lose a tooth. That only happens at specific times. That's after they rested. That's after they're well eaten

and they're actually ready to fight. And that only happens at specific times, right? That's that that's exactly what

I'm talking about in the market. Yes, you want the market to have these big massive moves to the upside, these big

swings, and you want to catch these big trades, but that doesn't happen all the time. Like the market gets tired. The

market has movements at only specific times. So, these are the highest volume sessions and then these are the slowest

volume sessions. So, we're going to start off with the Sydney session. So, we have Sydney session and Tokyo

session. So this tends to happen around 5 to 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 EST. So this is basically the afternoon. This is when

people finish their 9 to5. This is all of the afternoon. And as you can tell, the lighter the color, the less the

volume session. The darker the color, the more session there is. This right here is exactly when the fighters are

taking a break. They're stretching. They're eating. They're cleaning up their sweat. They're closing up their

wounds. They're taking a break. So, if you are in front of the arena at this time, you are simply watching nothing.

Yeah, they're going to be there, you know, cleaning up one another. They might be talking smack back and forth,

but they're not fighting. You're not going to see blood, right? Cuz there's no volume. You can be in front of the

markets at this time. Yes, it's going to be moving. It's going to be creating little moves up and down like this,

exactly how I just showed you, but you're not going to have those big swings. Why? Because there is no volume.

There's no volume in Sydney session or Tokyo session. There is absolutely no volatility there. Is there a oneoff

moment where there could be a a quick pump that happens there? Yes, that can be one in every 20 trading days. But are

you going to be in front of the arena knowing that one out of 20 trading days one guy might just get up and sucker

punch the other guy? Probably not, right? You don't want to bet your money on that. The odds of that happening are

unlikely. Just whenever it happens, you'll watch the video and it pops up and then usually they'll go back to

fighting in just a couple of hours. Is there going to be a time where you're not looking at the markets in the

session and it has a moves? Yeah, sure. But that's not that wasn't your time to be watching the market anyways. So,

Sydney and Tokyo session are going to be the sessions that you are not going to be trading. You're not going to be

interested at executing any trades. I use these time frames right here to go do stuff with my life. I go and work

out. I go and try and have a life that's not just staring at the charts. Beginning of pre-London session and then

we have all of London session. This is when the battle begins. This is where things start getting very, very, very,

very rough. Now, I would argue that this chart is a bit inaccurate. I'd say this could be a little bit darker, maybe a

little bit more this way. But this right here begins from 1 in the morning. So, at 1:00 in the morning, I start doing my

pre-London analysis session because London session opens right at 3:00 in the morning. And pre-London, which is

1:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., there already starts to be some volatility and the market starts to move very well. Then

you obviously have all of London session, which lasts from 3:00 in the morning all the way up to around 12:00

p.m. EST. Now, there's something beautiful that happens inside of the currency market at this point right

here, and that is that the New York session happens to open up in the same time that the London session is ongoing.

So, London session opens up at 8:00 in the morning, and it overlaps the London session, creating this extremely

volatile point in the market. So I like to enter my trades either pre-London session or during London session. So

then the trade has good volatility. It starts going in my direction and then once New York session kicks in, it just

adds more fuel to the fire which ignites it even more and gives it more of a movement. And then typically right

around the ending of London session, halfway through New York session, the market starts to slow down again and

then things start to just not get any volatility. The market takes a break for a couple of hours and then the pattern

repeats itself. This will repeat itself from Monday to Friday every single day. Now the key point here that you need to

understand is that there is realistically only a window that you need to be involved into the market. You

can only get involved in the market from 1 in the morning all the way up to around 10:30 in the morning. And some of

you guys may be asking, "But wait, Alex, there's still some volatility over here where the New York session and the

London session overlap." It's like, yes, correct. Yes, there's still going to be some fights going down here. It's still

going to be aggressive, but it's it's headed towards the end of that. And you don't want to enter a trade while it's

being extremely volatile and then what ends up happening is that it slows down for the next 10 hours because at let's

say you enter a trade at around noon, right? You're not going to be having any volatility for the next nearly 10 hours.

1 2 3 4 we have 10 11 12 11 hours. You're going to have absolutely no volatility in your trade. Does it make

sense to enter a trade that is not going to have any movement for the next 11 hours? Not really. And you're going to

pay an unnecessary fee once the market closes and then opens up again because every single day at 5:00 p.m. EST the

market closes, it opens up literally for like 1 minute. And then what ends up happening is you have to pay a swap, you

have to pay commission fees for holding trades overnight. And it just come not only does it cost more money to do that,

but then you just have trades that are going to be in the same point for the next 11 hours. And there's nothing more

that I hate than looking at my money do nothing, right? I either want my trade to hit my stop loss or hit my takeprofit

right away. I don't want to be in the same exact point of the market just being still for the next 11 hours. So,

you want to enter the trade either right before the session starts to kick in, either right in the middle of London

session, right before the real batter starts to kick in inside of that battle or right before it starts to drop off.

You can enter a trade anywhere 9 10 in the morning and then you can catch the ending of the overlap of London and New

York session. Anything after 10 in the morning I have not taken a trade after that time. I can't even remember. I

think it's been 4 years since I have taken a trade past 10:30 in the morning. Now once again is there going to be an

example? is going to be a 1 out of 20, one out of 30 probability that the trade that you would have taken at, let's say,

12:00, it actually ends up hitting your takerit by 8:00 p.m. Sure, of course, there's always going to be these one-off

opportunities. But that is not how you build a sustainable, profitable strategy. That is a strategy that you

follow time and time and time and time and time again. This is something that is proven system that it simply just

works. You get involved before the session kicks in either right in the the middle of it in the middle of the peak

over the overlap or right before the ending session of that. This has led me to have my biggest trade. I think I my

biggest trade is like half a million dollars. This is what led me to be able to have that trade. This also led me to

be able to avoid many losses. Because if you are only focused in trading about, let's say, six to seven hours out of the

whole entire trading day, you're really only focused on a very specific time right here. And I know this tends to be

an issue because a lot of people tend to be at jobs anywhere from or either at jobs or sleeping from 1:00 in the

morning to about 10:00 in the morning. Like this is a crucial time right here. But I will tell you this, the sacrifice

is definitely worth it to be involved in between these time frames right here. From 1 in the morning to 10 in the

morning, EST is the most accurate times for you to be trading. Anything outside of this time frames right here, I could

guarantee you, you will not have anywhere near as much volatility. It just simply does not happen. The two big

banks are going to be closed and you're just not going to have enough volume. And this is goes especially to the

markets that have the US in it. any markets that have the dollar for example let's trade let's say you're trading

euro USD if the euro if the dollar is asleep and the banks are closed how do you expect for that to have any movement

in this session over here so this goes specifically to those markets like GBPUSD eurousd anything that bols that

involves the USD if the USD market is asleep or it is not open it's not going to have any volatility can you still

trade USD markets in the London session cuz technically the London session hasn't opened. Yes, actually it's even

better cuz let's say you trade EuroUSD or GBPUSD. You're trading the pound right when the market opens over there

and then when New York session opens, you get double the volatility with the same exact currency pair. That right

there is the golden ticket to having the perfect moves. Now, you obviously need to align that up with a strategy. You

need to know what you're looking at in the charts. Just because it's 1 in the morning, you can't just click buy or

click sell and expect to make money. Can you get lucky? Sure. But that's not once again how you have a sustainable income

while you're trading. So to sum things up, yes, the markets are open 245 and technically you could go and execute a

trade at any one at those hours. You can literally go and hit the buy or sell button at any time you want. But there

is going to be a high chance that if you are not in the correct session that you one are going to pay unnecessary fees,

and two, you're going to be stuck in a volume that is going to simply have no movement. I want to make sure that I can

enter a trade when there's going to be a lot of movement and the odds of my trade winning are going to be a lot higher.

So, this right here is the currency market trading session. And this works for every single currency per hour

there. Whether it is AUD, JPY, USD, JPY, Euro AUD, everything is always going to fall inside of this trading session

right here. That is going to be the session that is going to create the best movements at any given point. And the

key of it is so you know how to put that together with a profitable strategy. And I'm going to be teaching you that in the

next couple of hours. All right. So now moving on to the next subject. Now that you understand that you actually need to
