Introduction to Day Trading in 2025
- Day trading is a skill focused on predicting price movements with high probability, not just making money.
- Success requires a long-term vision and understanding that losses and mistakes are part of the learning curve.
Essential Mindset Shifts
- Trading is about learning and practicing consistently; quick profits are unrealistic.
- Avoid chasing multiple strategies and mentors; focus on mastering one approach.
- Treat day trading like a professional skill and job, balancing enjoyment with discipline.
- Develop emotional control to stick to your strategy during wins and losses.
Fundamental Trading Concepts
Candlestick Anatomy
- Candles display open, close, high, low prices within a time frame.
- Green/up candles show opening price at the bottom and close at the top; red/down candles are the reverse.
Highs, Lows, and Trends
- High: move up followed by move down (green then red candle).
- Low: move down followed by move up (red then green candle).
- Uptrend: sequence of higher highs and higher lows.
- Downtrend: sequence of lower highs and lower lows.
- Sideways/consolidation: price moves horizontally without a clear trend.
Break of Structure
- Occurs when price closes beyond recent high or low, signaling trend changes.
Key Market Tools and Confluences
Liquidity
- Resting orders found above highs and below lows acting as magnets for price.
- Essential for market movement and reversals. Learn more about these concepts in the Beginner's Guide to Price Action Trading: Trends & Consolidation Explained.
Order Blocks
- Price ranges where significant orders have been filled causing market direction changes.
- Revisited order blocks can signal continuation of price movement.
Fair Value Gaps (Imbalances)
- Areas with an imbalance of buy/sell orders, identified by a 3-candle pattern leaving gaps.
- Price revisiting these gaps with confirmation can indicate price continuation.
Breaker Blocks
- Retracement zones followed by break of structure indicating lack of orders from previous trend.
- Price reaction at breaker blocks can prompt continuation in the new trend direction.
Equilibrium
- Midpoint between swing high and low indicating premium and discount zones.
- Helps identify favorable entry points within a trend.
SMT Divergence
- Divergence between indices forecasting future price direction.
- Useful for bias confirmation and trade entries on 5-15 minute to higher time frames.
Developing a Systemized Trading Strategy
- Use 4-hour and 1-hour trends to determine daily bias and execution time frame.
- Identify high time frame liquidity sweeps or confluences (order blocks, fair value gaps, breakers, equilibrium).
- Scale down to 15-minute or 5-minute charts depending on trend alignment.
- Look for break of structure and a third confluence for entry.
- Consider lower time frame break of structure (1-minute) for precise execution.
- Avoid overcomplication; follow a disciplined step-by-step approach outlined in the Complete Trading Mastery: From Basics to Million-Dollar Strategy.
Risk Management and Trade Execution
- Place stop losses above/below liquidity sweeps or key confluences to protect capital.
- Set take profits at high-probability confluences like prior liquidity draws and order blocks.
- Never move stop losses or take profits once set to avoid emotional bias.
Best Times to Trade
- Focus on market open kill zone (9:50 AM - 10:10 AM EST) for high volatility and setups.
- PM session from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM EST offers lower volatility trades using smaller time frames.
- For insights on handling challenging trading conditions, see Navigating a Volatile Trading Day: Insights and Strategies.
Final Guidance and Encouragement
- Day trading requires patience; view it as a long-term skill development.
- Consistent practice, disciplined mindset, and proper strategy adoption are keys to success.
- Avoid spreading efforts thin across multiple strategies or side hustles.
- Consider mentorship or coaching to address individual mistakes and accelerate learning.

Welcome to the beginners's complete day trading tutorial for 2025. If you guys are brand new to day trading or if you
guys are just getting into day trading, this video is going to be for you guys because this is going to be my longest,
biggest, and honestly just like full compiled thoughts on how to start day trading in 2025. It's going to give you
guys every single thing that you guys need to know. It's going to take literally hours worth of content that
I've produced and given out to you guys throughout the years of me being online teaching you guys how to day trade and
putting it all in one place so that you guys can get started and understand day trading from A to Z. If you guys don't
know me, my name is Tyler. Everybody online knows me as TJR. And I've been full-time day trading for the past
couple years now. And I've been able to change my life completely. Literally did a full 180 of my own life thanks to day
trading. And I've helped others do the same. literally thousands of other people through free content such as this
video that you guys are watching right now or through personal mentorship. But that's besides the point. In this guide,
I'm going to be breaking down literally everything when it comes to mindset, risk management, strategy, understanding
confluences, understanding where price wants to go at certain times, understanding why the chart is moving at
certain times, understanding where price wants to go. All of these things that are going to help you guys make money
from the markets. And all of this stuff took me countless hours of trial and error. And it kind of led to this one
big culmination of all of these videos that I've put out online. Every single video that I put out online is to help
you guys become a better day trader. Whether it's mistakes that I've made in the past, whether it's videos that I
wish I had as an unprofitable trader back when I was starting. And the goal with this video is to put it all in one
place so that you guys can just have this fast track to profitability so that you guys don't have to look anywhere
else when it comes to finding any sort of day trading education. This is essentially just going to be your guys's
free course, free guide to becoming a profitable day trader in 2025. And that's exactly why the majority of
traders fail. You guys always hear the statistic of day trading is too hard. Day trading doesn't work. And that's not
the case. It's the majority of day traders actually end up giving up. They don't end up failing. Failing comes with
any new skill. Every time I attempted to take my first trade or a couple first trades, I sucked at it. Just like any
other skill, if you try and pick up a basketball for the first time, you're going to suck. Every skill takes trial
and error just like day trading does. And that's where a lot of people get caught up. They think that they're going
to get rich tomorrow. They think that they're going to get rich within the next month. But that's not the case. And
something that sucks with day trading and honestly all these other side hustles within the online money space is
that it's very difficult to find all the right information and compile it into one single video or just put it into a
playlist for you guys to be able to learn what you guys are supposed to and tune out all the noise and all the BS
that's online because there's a lot of it that's circulating the web and you guys can get super confused. You guys
can mix up strategies. You guys can mix up confluences and in turn it takes you guys a lot longer to be able to turn
profitable. So, the goal with this video is to put everything, all the good information in one video that you guys
can just press play and watch it start to finish and have all the education necessary for you guys to turn
profitable. And that is my goal with this video, just putting everything in one place for you guys. I'm so excited
for this video because it's going to be an absolute banger. I'm taking every little piece of knowledge that I've
dropped throughout the years of me being on YouTube and just putting it in one place. And it's literally just going to
be a full a toz guide on how you guys can crush day trading going into 2025. So, before we get into these first
couple videos that we are going to compile for you guys to help understand what day trading really is, I need to
readjust what your guys' headsp space is when you guys are going into learning how to day trade. Because a lot of
people kind of misconrue what they think day trading is. They think that they're going to jump right into it and they're
just instantly going to make money. That is not the case. Just like how I was explaining before, day trading is a
skill. Just like anything else, you guys are going to suck at it at first and you guys are going to be really horrible at
it at first. But that's okay. As long as we are making these mistakes and then learning from them, never making those
mistakes again. That's how we're going to grow. So, I don't want you guys to come into this just thinking, "Holy
[Â __Â ] this is going to turn me profitable today once I grind through however long this is going to be, like
15 hours or 20 hours worth of content." But you guys need to keep in mind that all of the education within here is
going to help you guys stay on the right path towards profitability. And the problem with a lot of these other day
trading gurus online or with all these other day trading videos online is they're saying like, "Hey, this one
strategy will turn you profitable in 5 minutes." And then you guys go and watch that video and then you're like, "Okay,
cool. Let me go apply this." And then you guys lose your first [Â __Â ] 10 trades and you're like, "God damn it.
Why didn't I turn profitable in 5 minutes like the video said I was going to?" So, I need to reshift you guys'
headsp space and help you guys understand what day trading really is, how we can actually get good at the
skill and put you guys in the correct headsp space when you guys are going into this education. So, first of all,
what is the goal with trading? It's not to make money. Every single one of you guys probably thinking, "Oh, day
trading is to make money." No, day trading is about finding and being able to get into the marketplace and
accurately predict with a high probability on a daily basis where price wants to go. So again, let's repeat
that. What is day trading? Day trading is getting into the markets on a daily basis and being able to accurately
predict with a high probability where price wants to go. And the awesome side effect of that is making money. Now, if
that's our main goal, there's two sides of this. Goal one, make money with trading. That is going to lead you guys
to take actions to get results that you guys are not going to like, which is losing a whole bunch of money. Because
if you guys get into the market every single day and just think, how can I make money? You're going to be placing
trade after trade after trade after trade and you guys are going to end up losing money. versus if you guys go into
the markets with the headsp space of how can I predict where price wants to go using the confluences and using the
strategy and using the headsp space and using the risk management that I'm going to teach you guys in this video then
that changes the game a little bit where instead of us thinking I want to make money right now you are thinking how can
I predict with a high probability where price wants to go today it's going to help you guys avoid taking trades that
you guys shouldn't be taking and it's also going to encourage you guys to be taking trades that you guys should be
taking and then in turn what is that going to lead us to the awesome side effect of being able to predict price
action which is money. It's just like any other skill. But with trading, there's a super strong correlation with
money where it's like you are risking money on this trade and you are either going to make money or lose money. We
need to detach ourselves from that and instead be thinking when we get into the markets, we are not trying to make
money. We are just trying to predict where price wants to go. And by thinking like that, it's going to help us stay
away from taking trades that we shouldn't be taking and it's going to encourage us to take trades that we
should be taking. And on top of that, it's going to help us get over these speed bumps that we are going to face.
Again, like I was saying, this isn't going to be help you guys get rich quick in one day or one week or one month.
This is going to be a long time in order to grow and build this skill of day trading. And hopefully you guys can
understand that. I'm not going to get on here and BS you guys and say that you guys are going to be able to get rich
right after this video. That's not the case, okay? I'm going to keep it real with you guys. You guys are going to
have to digest all this content and then from there apply it, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes and that's how
you guys are going to grow as a trader and that's how you guys are going to be able to accurately predict price action
with higher probability instead of just thinking I want to make money today. There's no room for growth in that
because it's either make money or lose money. So if you're just getting into the market saying I want to make money
or getting into trading saying I want to make money, you're in it for the wrong reasons because what is the core of day
trading? It's predicting where price wants to go. Like I was saying before, that's going to help us avoid a lot of
these early beginner mistakes that a lot of you guys are going to face. So, in order to get good at trading, we need to
instantly shift that in our head. And that's what I'm going to cover in all of these videos that we're just going to
dump you guys straight into to be able to shift your guys' headsp space from I want to make money with trading and
instead get into how can I predict price action consistently on a daily basis with a high probability. And then the
side effect of that is money. It's just like any other skill. If I want to make a lot of money as a basketball player,
what do I have to be good at? I have to be good at putting the ball in the hoop. I have to be good at dribbling. I have
to be good at passing. If you want to make money as a basketball player, you don't think, "How can I make more money
playing basketball?" You think, "How can I get better at basketball?" And then in turn, what's the side effect of that?
You make more money. So, it's the same thing with trading. So, we need to detach ourselves from thinking trading
is about making money. No, trading is about getting good at trading. Okay? And in turn, just like any other skill, once
you get good at a skill, there's a high and awesome reward at the end of the [Â __Â ] rainbow. Okay? And hopefully
this video is going to help you guys get to where you guys want to go. So, keep that in mind when we go into all of
these videos. This is what your guys' headspace should be when you guys are getting into these first initial videos
that I'm going to dump on you guys. So, with that being said, let's jump right into it. This is kind of going to be
like a primer to help you guys get your mind right and help you guys understand what it takes to become a profitable
trader before we can even get into any sort of education because a lot of you guys are going to come into this
thinking education is what I need. I I just need to learn more. I need to learn the strategy. I need to learn this. I
need to learn that. And it's not the case. Strategy is is honestly like far from the determining factor of you guys
being profitable or not. And the real determining factor is going to be time and consistency in the way that you act,
in the way that you operate. So what I kind of like to talk about is um skills. We can treat trading as a skill where I
love using this analogy. If you tell a basketball player or sit sit someone who's never played basketball down uh
before and tell them, you know, every single day for a month long, they have to watch an hourong video of basketball
training videos. So, they don't get a basketball, they just have to sit down and they just watch these training
videos going over the basics, dribbling a ball, shooting a ball, and you know, between the legs, behind the back,
layup, jump shot, three-pointer, whatever, right? And then at the end of that month, you give them a ball and you
have them play basketball, right? They're going to be at a certain level after watching those videos. And then on
the contrary, if you give just another person who's never played basketball in their entire life, give them a ball and
say, "Look, you know, you have an entire month and you have a single hour every single day and you just have to figure
this out. Figure it out." You know, they've never played basketball. They don't know how it works, but they have
to figure it out. all they know is the rules and you know what they're supposed to do. Odds are the person that has the
basketball and is able to practice and and just learn from mistakes over and over again is going to be a in a lot
better position than the person who just sat on their ass watching basketball skill videos.
Which now leads me to how this correlates to trading. It's the same thing. It's the same thing as a skill
where if we sit down a trader and we say, "Hey, look, watch this monthlong, watch this month-long series or, you
know, this literally year-long series of me um teaching you guys how to trade concepts on trading. And if you guys
don't apply it, if you guys don't practice it, you guys won't get anywhere. If you guys just watch it and
like think that you're learning stuff by watching it and then like the next day you just like boom try and apply it and
instantly expect success, you're not going to be successful. Versus if you guys were to just sit your ass down, sit
in front of the chart and practice and drill. You know, maybe you guys don't even nec like again let's apply this to
trading. Let's say we sit someone down and say, "Hey, just watch again for a month. You have an hour each day and you
guys are going to watch trading videos and then you know boom, see how they see how they act in the market and then we
have another person who's never done trading in their entire life and the person just sits them down and says
figure it out. You have an hour each day for a month long. I guarantee you without a doubt in my mind that the
person who who has to actually be trading live trading is going to be a better trader because they're going to
start seeing patterns, repetitions within the market, they're going to fail and they are going to learn from it. So
what happens when we can combine the two? What happens when we can watch videos that are helpful that teach us
skills that can hopefully get us over some of those beginner mistakes, some of those beginner failures that we have?
And then along with drilling it and learning we are going to be a great trader. Similarly with the basketball
analogy if we give them the opportunity to sit down during that month and watch an hourong of tutorial v videos on
beginner videos of people playing basketball and then right after that they get an hour to practice it and to
drill it. They are going to be a lot better than those two people who only had one of each. And it's the same thing
with trading. Okay? Okay. So, if I teach you guys a a strategy or if I teach you guys concepts or if I teach you guys or
if I give you guys a lesson, it's not as simple as just sitting down and digesting the YouTube video and writing
notes on it because that's just step one. Step two is actually taking action and practicing it and repeating it. And
I feel like that's what that's this hole that people get sucked into is this YouTube
just black hole of information where they sit down and they watch every single two billion ICT videos and they
never end up applying it. And the only time that they try and apply it is when market opens and they only get like one
shot because they hear TJR or they hear ICT say, "Hey, only take one to two trades, one to two trades a day." And
then it's like, wow. So, we're consuming way more than we're practicing. And that's the biggest issue. We need to be
practicing almost equally with consuming. And then we get to the point where we've consumed everything that we
need possible because same thing with same thing with trading and basketball. Okay? If we think about basketball, the
best basketball players in the world, the skills that they have, they're just really good at the basics. We think, you
know, what makes Stephen Curry one of the best players in the world? He's just really insanely good at shooting the
basketball. If if we compare Stephen Curry to one of the Globe Trotters, the Globe Trotters are arguably
have better, more crazy skills, but they're not as good at shooting as Stephen Curry. It's the same thing. I've
heard this analogy before, as being healthy. If you want to get healthy, stop trying to look in the 1%s and look
at the 99%. If you want to get healthy, that special running shoe isn't going to make you healthier. That little Whoop
bracelet on your wrist that tracks your heart rate, that tra that tracks everything isn't going to make you
healthier. What's going to make you healthier? Four things: sleep, working out, hydration,
and eating healthy. Those four things. If you do those four things really, really well, you're going to be one of
the healthiest people ever. And it's the same exact thing with trading. So, if you guys can just understand the basics,
which is what I'm going to be teaching you guys here, and honestly, like throughout all of this, I'm going to be
teaching you guys everything. But it's going to get to the point where you guys, again, like I was saying in the
first video, where you guys can kind of pull away and be like, "Look, I think I have everything possible. I think I have
everything that I need where you guys have to step away and then just practice and practice and practice and fail over
and over and over and over again. Another analogy that I like to use is a construction worker, a really bad
construction worker versus a really good construction worker. If we give the really bad construction worker a toolbox
and blueprints and all the tools necessary to build a house and it's their first time building a house ever
in their entire life, they're going to build a really shitty house. Versus if you give a really good construction
worker who's built who's built millions of houses before that same toolbox those same tools and the same blueprint,
they're going to build that house much better than that construction than that shitty construction worker. And the only
difference is repetition. So if we think about that shitty construction worker, that first house that they build,
it's going to be really bad and they're going to be like, "Man, that was horrible. There's a bunch of things that
I can work on and I can identify the things that I can work on. Maybe I sit down and I watch the really good
construction worker and see, okay, what did he do here? What did he do here? Okay, got it. Got it. Got it. Boom.
Build a second house. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. It's a little bit better than the first house, but it still
sucks. And then he builds five houses and they're all and they continuously get better than that first house house
that he built. And then he builds a thousand houses and there and that thousandth house is going to be so much
better than the first house that he built. And then the 10,000th house is going to be so much better than that
thousandth h house that he's built. So it's not the tools that are the issue. It's not the concepts in trading that's
the issue. It's not the strategy in trading that's the issue. It's the repetition and it's the
practice that's the issue. It's the time that's the issue. You guys are lacking time and you guys are lacking repetition
within the market and that's your biggest issue. That's it. This video is going to be
rather short because I need you guys to understand this concept because I'm going to continue trying to pro provide
value because right now I'm a good construction worker and you guys are bad construction workers, right? You guys
are unprofitable. If you guys are watching this, you guys have never traded before. You guys are on your
first house. I'm going to lay out tools for you guys. I'm going to give you guys your toolbox and then I'm going to give
you guys your blueprint through strategy, through confluence. But I can only give you guys those pieces. I can't
force you guys to build your houses. You guys have to take it upon yourself to build your houses. You guys have to take
it upon yourself day in and day out depending on how much time you guys have within every single day and how how how
bad you guys want it to see how many houses you guys can build. So let's say again we take the super we take two
people who have never built a house in their entire life and we give them the same toolbox and the same blueprint and
the same tools necessary to build a house. And the first bad construction worker builds one house every single
day. Will he eventually get to that good construction worker spot. Will he eventually get there? Yes. Okay. His
timeline is going to be however long. Let's say let's say for him to be a good construction worker, it's going to take
10 years for him to be able to perfectly make houses over and over and over again. And there's always going to be
room for improvement for him. Now, let's say we have that second construction worker and we give him the same tools,
the same toolbox, the same blueprint, the same materials, but he makes five houses a day. He is going to have way
more time building houses. He's going to have way more repetitions. He's going to have way more experience. He's going to
have way more mistakes than the person who just builds one house a day. So, by the time that 5-year period is up, the
person who built five houses a day compared to the person that built one house a day is going to be so much
better. But again, with trading, this is why it's difficult with building a house. Are they leaving any of their
tools out? Are they go straying from the blueprint? No. If they stray from the blueprint, they'll never be good at
building houses. If I or if we go back to that construction worker example, if we take a shitty, let's add a third one
to the mix. That third construction worker, he has the same tools, he has the same blueprints, he has the same
materials as those other two guys, and he makes 10 houses a day, but he leaves out pieces of the blueprints every
single time he builds a house. Every single time he builds a house, he builds it differently in the wrong way, and he
doesn't apply and doesn't use all the tools necessary. By the end of that five fiveyear period, that guy will will be
in a worse position than the person who built one house every single day for 5 years consistently doing it the right
way. He will also be so much farther behind the person who built five houses a day correctly for 5 years straight.
So, how can we apply this to trading? A lot of you guys who literally know everything necessary
in order to turn profitable are not profitable. And why is that the case? Because you're not doing what you're
supposed to. You're not following the blueprint. You're not following your trading plan. You're not following your
strategy. You're acting on emotion. You're you're trading not based on confluences. You're not trading the same
every single day. You're switching your strategy every single day. It's the same thing. Imagine if we throw another
construction worker into the mix. We have four construction workers now. But the fourth construction worker, we give
him different tools and different blueprints every single month. That's what you guys are doing with your
trading strategy. You guys are implementing a new strategy every single month and you're pretty much putting
yourselves back to square one. that person if he gets a new blueprint and new toolboxes and new materials every
single month, he will be nowhere near again where that person who did five houses
the perfect the right way, consistently for 5 years. He won't be near them. He won't be near the person who built one
house consistently, correctly for 5 years straight. And he'll probably be on that equal level of the person who
skipped out on on on steps in the blueprint and somebody who who didn't use the tools necessary. So, we have to
understand how we're acting within the market. We have to act with discipline and we have to act with consistency. And
those are probably two of the biggest lessons and two of the hardest things to learn within trading. So, before I
wanted to get into any sort of tools or strategy or concepts, I need you guys to circle back to this
video every time you guys feel yourself straying away. Because as you guys start straying away,
you guys are giving your guys you guys are literally starting new. You guys are setting yourselves back to square one by
watching a new strategy, by implementing a new thing that you guys saw on YouTube versus if you guys take just what you
guys know will turn you profitable, the basics, just like how Steph Curry is the best shooter in the world. Why? Because
he shot over and over and over and over and over again. And he's really good at that one simple thing. He's also really
good at other simple things. He's really good at dribbling the ball. Is Steph Curry one of the best basketball players
in the world because he's good at a triple behind the back spin move reverse layup? No. So advanced. He doesn't need
that. He needs the basics. It's the basics that make you good. So that's my issue with a lot of these traders out
here because they keep throwing different strategies at you guys and that's not what I want to do. What I
want to do with it with this is not even necessarily give you guys a strategy. is just to lay out the tools and the
blueprint and the materials necessary for you guys to learn how to build a house on your own, to learn how to
become a profitable day trader on your own. Because again, similarly with those construction workers, with those NBA
players, Stephen Curry is really good at shooting the ball. Kyrie Irving is really good at dribbling. They're both
really great players in the NBA, but their skills are on two different basic things. It's the same thing in trading.
If you guys suck at a concept, you know, maybe you guys can take time out of your day to drill it, to get better at it,
just like a basketball player who's bad at dribbling, but really good at shooting.
Okay, but what would they want to do while they are still bad at that skill? They're going to want to utilize their
good skills. So for me, if I'm really good at executing on a single concept, why
should I come through and try and add a new concept and add a new thing, add a new tool, add a new material that I've
never used before, that I don't understand completely, that I'm really bad at, and try and build a house with
it, try and make it a part of my game, try and make it a part of my strategy. It doesn't make any sense. You have to
utilize what you're good at. And that's what trading is. I'm going to give you guys concepts and I'm going to give you
guys tools in order to become a profitable trader, but you guys are going to be good or better at certain
tools than everybody else. Okay? There are some things that are going to click in your head that make sense to you. You
have to use what makes sense to you because if it doesn't make sense to you and if it doesn't work for you, don't
use it at all because it's not helping you. And maybe you do want to get good at it because you know it's a
fundamental and you know it's necessary to be a really good trader. Just like understanding what a candlestick is,
like the open and the close. That's a really basic thing. If we can understand that, we have to understand that to be
good at trading. And maybe it takes longer for you to understand that. So, what are you going to do? You're going
to drill it in silence. And I know I was just talking about that with a beginner concept, but we need to think about that
with our strategy and with how we take trades. Because if I introduce order blocks and it really makes sense to your
friend Jeremy, but it makes no sense to you and Jeremy's hitting a thousand winning trades on it every single day,
day in and day out, and you're like, I want to be like Jeremy or I want to be like TJR who's trading this certain way,
but you don't understand how it works or it doesn't make sense to you, you won't be a good trader. And instead, if you're
really good at entering off of fair value gaps or spotting a liquidity sweep and that's what works for you, it
wouldn't make sense for you guys to try and only enter off of order blocks if you guys know liquidity is your forte.
You guys have to do what's best for you and what makes sense for you and what you're best at. And then if you want to
add something new to the mix, don't add it in live trading scenarios. Add it in back testing. add it in private until
you get so good at it where it's literally so overwhelmingly obvious that you need to add it to your to your
arsenal to your toolbox and then you'll have another tool that you're really good with and then that's what will make
you a good trader. So, I'm going to end this video here and hopefully that changed your perspective on trading and
maybe you know you you guys are a five-year long trader and this is was the missing piece for you and you guys
can be done off of this because a lot of you guys so many of you guys you guys have already gone through my boot camp.
You guys have already you guys already understand the fundamentals of trading and I'm going to start with the
fundamentals. I'm going to start explaining candlesticks. A lot of you guys already understand that. A lot of
you guys are pros with that already. A lot of you guys really understand strategy. You guys understand you guys
literally have the tool. You guys already have the toolbox, the tools, the materials and the blueprints in front of
you and you guys just haven't been practicing. You guys have just been watching. You guys have just been
consuming. Or you guys have been consuming and not practicing enough. Or in some people's case where you guys are
full-on beginners, you guys haven't consumed at all. And you guys haven't practiced at all. by putting you guys
your you guys' head in the right spot, by understanding that trading is a skill and teaching you guys how skills are
made. It's by consistently doing the same thing over and over and over again until you get really good at it. So,
with that knowledge, I will see you guys in the next video where we can start adding tools to our toolbox. A lot of
times you guys just have problem solving issues. Ever thought of that? You guys need to work on your problem solving
skills. And for whatever reason, I've gotten really good at problem solving. I had this seventh grade teacher in
computer science and we had a problem-solving checklist and it was pretty much so he didn't have to answer
dumbass questions. What the checklist was was like literally just go down all of this checklist before you even ask
him a question. It's like check all plugs and connections. Check if the Wi-Fi is good. Restart it. Do this. Turn
the power off. Turn the power back on. Unplug it. Plug it back in. And then like it was just this this like
sevenstep list that was a problem-solving list. And more often than not, you would go through that list
and you would never have to ask him a question ever. Obviously, there's more problems to solve than just like, oh,
the computer's not working in like computer science class in seventh grade, but it's pretty similar where it's like
if you guys can really work on your problem solving skills, then you'll be able to solve problems. Um, but anyways,
my mastermind student asked me a question. Said, "Hey, what are good psychology books?" And I said, "This is
a good psychology book. I wrote it myself and I opened up a text box and wrote it down." And it goes like this.
Learn a strategy. Perfect. I'm going to teach you a strategy. Don't ever change it. Don't change it. Don't change it.
I'm going to strangle you if you change it. Go back to the construction worker example. Literally, I don't know how
many times I'm going to have to yell at you for you guys not to change it because you guys are going to change it
every other day because you're like, "Training's not working." Yeah, cuz you [Â __Â ] just learned it.
Understand that good things take time. You're not going to get rich quick from this ever, ever in your entire life. And
if you think that's how it is, guess what? You're going to die unhappy because your life's going to suck dick.
Okay? Good things take time. Learn a strategy. Don't [Â __Â ] change it.
Do it forever. Trade it forever until you get good at it.
Manage your risk. Meaning, you know, make it so you can live to
trade another day. Don't be a dumbass. That can be applied to all of you. Don't overtrade.
Don't overlever. Probably one of the biggest ones here, circling back to never changing your
strategy. Don't have multiple mentors. I was in my mastermind class again today explaining
order blocks, how I mark them out, how I trade order blocks, how order blocks work for me. These people, they pay me a
certain amount of money to teach them how I trade. And somebody goes in there, TJR,
this guy on YouTube, Mark, I'm Who? Is he me? No. You literally paid me money to teach you how I trade and
you're saying this person I don't give a [Â __Â ] I don't give a [Â __Â ]
Because guess what? The second you say, "Well, the you're [Â __Â ] you screwed up, bro. You're already changing [Â __Â ]
Make it as simple as possible." Have one single mentor. If your mentor is a good trader and knows how to trade and has a
good strategy that works for them, that makes them profitable, guess what? If you use that strategy, if
it makes sense for you, if it works for you, and you continue to trade at it, and you get good at it,
then it'll work for you, too. It's awesome how that [Â __Â ] works. But the second you guys start over
complicating it, say, "Well, TJ, well, TJR trades marks out order blocks. You guys are so annoying. You guys over
complicate trading for no reason, bro. for no reason at all. You guys are just overthinkers and underdoers.
Wow, that was a [Â __Â ] awesome quote. You guys are overthinkers and underdoers. You guys think way too
[Â __Â ] much and don't do [Â __Â ] ever in your entire life, bro. So, stop saying like
TJR, you mark out order block like this, but this one guy on Twitter who has 1,000 followers said he does it like
this and it works for him. Then, then guess what? if it works for him and you want to trade like him, bet. Go do it
with him. But the second you start [Â __Â ] flipping [Â __Â ] the second you start
marking out order blocks like that person does and then you're trying to use my strategy where I mark out mark
out order order blocks differently and oh wait, now you're trying to pull in support and resistance, throw that [Â __Â ]
into TJR's strategy and I don't even use that [Â __Â ] either. And then you say, "Oh no, I'm going to throw on some Ballinger
bands." Next thing you know, you don't have a strategy that [Â __Â ] works. Stop having multiple mentors. Have one single
mentor. Have one single person that you learn trading from. Whether that's me, whether that's anybody, I don't I don't
care. Choose one singular person and learn from them. It's going to confuse you guys way too much. It's going to
cause you guys to hip hop from strategies. It's going to cause you guys to get information overload and start
thinking, "Oh, well, price price came down, bounced off a support, but wait, TJR said this is a fair value gap, but
wait, ICT said this is a PD array, but wait, there's a like, shut up, bro. Like, shut up.
Your brain is going [Â __Â ] berserk. tell it to shut up because if you look at how I present
trading, I literally it's like a stepbystep playbook. It's like this happens, then
this happens, then this happens, and you press buy or sell, and you take your hands, you shove them into your ass, and
you don't do anything until stop-loss or take profits get hit. And oh, would you look at that? The next
chapter in TJR's trading psychology book is don't overthink. I didn't even read that far. Don't
overthink. You guys sit down. This is what you guys do, bro. And for all beginners watching this,
remember this video because this is going to be you guys when I start introducing concepts. Don't do what I'm
about to do and it will benefit you so much. Well, on the weekly time frame, we got a breaker structure. Oh, wait. Um,
okay. So, this is an order block right here. And then we tapped into this. But then
if we go into the daily, we're in an uptrend right here. And then there's a fair value gap right
here. So, we're bullish right here, but bearish right here. And then the equilibrium, it came in here. And then,
and then we had a higher high, higher low, but then we broke structure right here. So, I thought we should have gone
down, and then we broke structure again, and then we actually went down, but then we we liquidity sweeped and then broke
structure again. And then we're ready. This is what I want you guys to do.
Just like if you guys could do me a favor, if you guys are actually passionate about trading and and if you
guys want to learn from me, if my concepts make sense to you, if the way that I trade makes sense to
you, if you guys just like me as a mentor because I can teach [Â __Â ] [Â __Â ] simply to you guys,
stop overthinking and just forget everything that you've ever ever ever ever, ever, ever in your
entire life learned about trading? And you know what's crazy? I went into the mastermind the very first lesson. I was
like, yo, literally take everything that you've learned from trading besides the basics like what a candlestick is and
what an uptrend is and what a high or what a low is and throw it out the window.
And it's crazy because we when we were talking about [Â __Â ] that you would think is like a basic ass thing
like literally what a high and low is these pe like that guys my mastermind's hardest subject to understand
was how to identify highs and lows in the market, bro. And I And this is as simp and this is as
simple as I put it. I'll give I I'm going to teach you guys the same exact way that I taught them. Not like this is
just a a shortened version of it because for them it took a full hour to get this.
A high is a two candlestick pattern. A move up, then a move down. A green candle, then a red candle. A low is a
two candlestick pattern. A move down then a move up. A red candle then a green candle. That's it. That's it.
That's it. That's it. You would think that it would have ended there.
There were questions for about 30 minutes. Let me try and find the example that
somebody used. This is This was it. Again, I I know if you're new here, if you're just getting into trading, trust
me, this will be beneficial for you. I know you don't quite understand what I'm talking about right now, but like trust
me, we have to just throw out the garbage. We have to stop overthinking because if we can stop overthinking and
just take it for what the information is and stop thinking this is some [Â __Â ] hard ass impossible weird that you have
to just wrap your brain around like it turns out it's pretty easy. This is what they said. I remember what
did I say? A high consists of a move up and a move down. It's a two candlestick pattern. Two candles. What do the two
candles have to be? Green then red for a high. The guy said, "Well, what about this? Is
this the high right here? Why isn't this the high? Do you see a a a down candle following
it? It literally took like 10 plus minutes to explain that this is the high. And the awesome
thing is is like if he was able if if we were able to like identify that money would have been made on this day.
I made money on this day. It's [Â __Â ] like that where it's like you guys are just over complicating this for
no reason. For no reason at all. Stop over complicating it. The last line on the
book, I know I just deleted it or it might be still be on here. I think I deleted it. But the last chapter in the
book was just execute. My psychology can be broken down like
this. Do what you're supposed to do and don't do what you're supposed what you're not supposed to do.
Again, it's literally as easy as that. What are you not supposed to do in trading?
You're not supposed to overtrade. You're not supposed to overlever. And if you're doing either of those, you have an issue
bigger than trading. You just have a life issue in general. That means that if you tried to stop any
of your bad habits right now in life, you wouldn't be able to. Which means you have no hope in trading whatsoever. Ever
in your entire life. Like ever. If you can't if if it's so if it's literally that
hard for you where if you truly want to become a full-time day trader, it should be so easy to just be like don't
overtrade, don't overleverage and execute on the strategy and just let time do its thing and you will get good.
It literally could be I could end the trading transformation here and you guys could use grab a strategy from the
internet and get going, get started with it. The problem is some of you guys just must not want this [Â __Â ] enough because
if you wanted it it enough, you would know exactly what you're supposed to do and you would do it and you would know
exactly what you're not supposed to do and you wouldn't do it. So then it comes to an issue of like
what are you even doing this for? Are you doing this just like are you doing this because you it's you put in your
head that trading is a get-rich quick scheme because trading is not a get-rich quick
scheme. Anybody that says it is is a [Â __Â ] idiot. Because get-richqu schemes, there's no
such thing as a get-richqu scheme unless somebody comes to you, which I'm not doing, and says, "This will change.
You can make like $100,000 from this in a month." And you believing it and then you trying
to do it and lose all your money doing it. That's what a get-richqu scheme is. I'm telling you guys right now that
trading is a skill and it's not a get-richqu type of thing. And I told you before it's going to take
a long time to get good at this skill. So if you truly want it bad enough, you will literally start today doing the
[Â __Â ] that you are supposed to and stop doing the [Â __Â ] that you're not supposed to.
And it re it like it really shouldn't take more than that for like it shouldn't take
more from me than that because if if you're unable to do that, you don't want to be a trader.
Like simple as that. Or you don't want it bad enough cuz if you wanted it bad enough, you
would have been doing the [Â __Â ] that you were supposed to do and you wouldn't be doing the [Â __Â ] that you're not supposed
to. It's as simple as that. And some people genuinely just don't want it bad enough. So, I'm glad that I made this
video today. This can be kind of like our filter of who wants to be good at trading.
And the question that I'll leave you guys with this with this video, hold on, Chug Jug.
The question that I want to leave you guys with is why do you want to trade? Do you want to trade for the money that
you see on the internet that comes from trading? Or do you want to trade because you genuinely enjoy being able to come
into the markets day in and day out and predict where where price wants to go. If you said the first answer,
thank you for coming to my trading transformation. Take everything that you applied and apply it to another business
that you genuinely enjoy. And I just saved you thousands of dollars on courses, on live accounts, on funded
accounts, on Discords, which you guys shouldn't be joining anyway, on signals, which are useless.
I saved you a bunch of money. You're welcome. Because if you sit down on the chart and
if you look at the chart in the morning and think I cannot wait to make money today,
you are doing something wrong. Versus if you come into trading and you sit down and you're genuinely excited
because you cannot wait to be able to predict where price wants to go or you just love being able to be I'm like look
bro I'm a [Â __Â ] narcissist. I'm I'm a hotthead. I'm stubborn. I love being right.
And you know what the best thing is? Being right in a market where everybody else is wrong.
And that's why I love trading. Literally today or the other day, I talked about this Bitcoin chart.
Everybody on crypto in crypto Twitter was bearish within this area. I think it's going to go lower. 30K. 30K. I
said, "No, I expect dick-sized candles within the next one to three weeks." Said that at that green line.
Boom. That is what makes me happy. And my bank account, my crypto wallet
is just part of that because you guys can only imagine the money that I made from that move. But
that's not what makes me happy. Again, it's not I love being right.
I love it. It's the best feeling in the world to me. [Â __Â ] love being right and I love helping people. Let that kind
of sit with you for a bit before you guys go on to actually start learning concepts. Because if you start learning
concepts and you're like, "This is boring. I don't like this. This is lame."
Choose a different business. The best business that you can be in is a business that you can work on forever.
And and what can you work on forever? Something that you love. Because work won't feel like work. It'll feel like
fun. When I was learning trading and when I am trading, I'm genuinely having fun.
When I'm making these YouTube videos teaching you guys, I'm genuinely having fun. I'm enjoying myself. It's awesome.
I love it. And And I can work I can do this forever. I can literally I It's crazy,
bro. I can do this [Â __Â ] forever. Forever, bro. I love it. It's awesome. Like, that's what you guys don't
understand. I love this. I love this. I love teaching. I love teaching people about this. It's like
two passions in one. It's awesome. I'm I got a Kimbo passions, bro. And some of you guys, trading is just
not your passion. And just get lost, bro. You're welcome. I saved you a bunch of money. And I swear I swear some fe
some people are going to get through this and be like, "He doesn't know what he's talking about. I got to make a
million dollars. And then like months from now, you guys are going to be thinking back to this video and being
like, damn, I should have listened to to that one dude, TJR Trades. Because the only way you're going to be
really good at something and make a ton of money from something is if you love doing it, bro. Swear. That's the only
That's the only way. The only way that you're going to make ridiculous amounts of money. Money that you can't even
imagine. money. Money where it's just like everywhere is not by pursuing money itself. It's by
pursuing your passion. Because how do you make money? You work. And if you love your work,
you'll be able to work forever and you'll be able to make insane amounts of money. So sit with that. Drop in the
comments if you guys genuinely like are like me and you just love being right. Love being able to predict where price
wants to go day in and day out. If that's you, awesome. We're nerds. We're nerds together, bro. Love it. If that's
not you, dip out. No hard feelings. I'm glad that I could help you. Akimbo Passions. Anyways, I appreciate you
guys. I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace out. I wish there was like a way for us to touch lips after these.
sucks. Focus. Okay. So, what I want to talk to you guys about today, I want to talk about how trading can be really
easy if you just simplify it. And I know I talked about that a little bit in the videos at the very beginning of this
whole thing, but I'm just going to continuously hammer home the mindset that you have to be in when
you get into trading and the things that you have to be doing when you're getting into trading and the things that you
should not be doing. Okay? Because again, successful people, it's not necessarily what they do that makes them
successful. It's what they don't do that makes them successful. Because I've even seen it within my mastermind where I
grilled them for like the first week, everything, psychology, just rewire their brain and they were like, "Boom,
we got it." And I was super hyped. I was like, "Awesome. Y'all are going to kill it." And then I start laying out the
tools. I say like look here's candlesticks you know like or they already know candlesticks but you know
like here's break of structure here's liquidity here's fair value gaps here's order blocks and after all that I start
seeing in the chat and it's like they're doing everything that they're not supposed to be doing they're taking too
many trades a day they're over risking they're over lever like they're just [Â __Â ] up and I'm just sitting there
Like, bro, what did we even talk about for the first week then? It's almost like I need
to do a psychology mastermind where it's just like a full month where if you like already know a strategy that works for
you, like let me just grill you for a full month until you get that [Â __Â ] through your head. This is how easy
trading can be. Don't overthink. Don't over complicate. and
let's lay out what we shouldn't be doing and what we should be doing. Okay. So,
I'm kind of going to put you guys onto the charts here and we're just going to make a little
text box. Okay. Talk this one out. Let's see. Bet.
So, we're going to make a little box talking about what we should not be doing.
Okay. And this is going to apply to life. And this is going to apply to trading. And if you can't apply it to
your life, you'll never be able to apply it to trading because that's just how this [Â __Â ] works. If you're undisiplined
in one area, you're going to be undisiplined in every other area. So just how life works. If you fold in one
area, you're going to like you're going to fold all over again. Okay? So I want you guys to kind of do this along with
me or write this down with me. I'll give you guys time to pull out your
notebooks, pull out a pen and paper. And you guys should be doing this honestly like every single day until you get it
through your head and until your subconscious is like just knows exactly what to do. Literally just write this
[Â __Â ] out every single day. Okay, so number one, even though we haven't got there yet, or first of all,
let's just talk about what this is. Whoa. It's your trading mindset shift. Can't
type at all today. This is going to be your trading mindset shift. Okay. And what we have to know and what
we have to understand about changing how we trade is we have to do pretty much everything that you guys are
not. We have to stop doing everything that you guys are currently doing right now. Okay. So, if we think about it,
what are you guys currently doing right now that's causing UDIS to be unsuccessful within the market? Let's
just write out what unprofitable traders do in the first place. We'll set this to the side.
Unprofitable mindset. Okay. So, let's start off on this one.
several strategies. A lot of you guys, Oops. A lot of you guys are trading,
multiple different strategies every sing every single day. You'll take one trade with TJR's strategy. The next trade,
you'll watch a YouTube video on Mamba FX's five minute strategy. You'll take that one. The next trade, you'll take
Lambo Raul strategy. You guys have like 20 different strategies that you're trying to work at all together
and you're never going to be successful doing that in trading. You know why? You're stretching yourself thin. It's
like saying, "Hey, I'm going to try this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, all at the same
time." And you're going to suck at all of them all at the same time. and you'll never
get better at all of them at the same time because you're trying to do them all at the same time. So if you want to
get good at a skill or get good at a strategy, you have to have one single one. So unprofitable mindset number one,
a lot of you guys have several different strategies. Along with that, a lot of you guys have several mentors.
Choose one. You have to choose one. A lot of you guys watch my videos. A lot of you guys watch ICT videos. A lot of
you guys watch, you know, other people's videos. I don't care who you watch. Even if this
means you guys stop watching me. All I want is for you guys to turn into profitable traders. I'm fine with you
just saying, "Look, TJR, I [Â __Â ] with you, but this guy's strategy works better for me." Awesome. We'll dap up. I
did my job. I did what I needed to do. You can step out here and and then boom. Okay. just have one mentor because again
with several strategies I teach certain confluences a different way. Your other mentors have different strategies. Your
other mentors, sorry I'll boogie. Your other mentors trade differently than me and they teach
things differently than me. If you guys want to be successful in trading, you need one single mentor and you need one
single strategy because it's the same thing. You're stretching yourself too thin. If you learn trading from me, you
learn trading from Raul, you learn trading from ICT, you learn trading from somebody else. Again, it's like input
one, input two, input three, input four, and all of them are just little trickles instead of just one boom full power
faucet. So, have one strategy, have one mentor. moving forward.
You guys overthink and you guys over complicate trading way too much, bro. Way too much. You guys get into trading
and think you need to be able to solve the [Â __Â ] like the cure for cancer in order to be able
to be successful in trading. It's not the case. Simple simplicity is better within trading. Guess what I taught my
mentorship students, okay? And I'm going to keep bringing them up because th these people are are
going to be killers after this [Â __Â ] And I I taught them. I said, "Look, I'm going to give you guys a strategy. You
won't be able to take a trade every day. You probably won't be able to find a trade every single day, but I guarantee
you if you stick to these rules 100% of the time, stay disciplined, don't over risk, and obviously don't overtrade
because you're sticking to the strategy, you will be profitable straight out of this
because I gave it to them." So simply, it's literally step one, step two, understand what you're looking for. Step
three, step four, execute. And and it's like the e like I gave them literally one. It's just a checklist and then it's
execute hands off. And I guarantee you they will be profitable if they follow that checklist.
The problem with a lot of you guys with trading is you guys are looking at 20 different time frames. You guys are
looking at 30 different confluences. You guys are looking having 10 different strategies in your head and you have
three different mentors giving you their daily bias for the day. We need to stop that. My mentorship
students, they're only looking at four time frames and it's three confluences
off of those four time frames. It's as easy as that. You don't need to be looking at some bull like bro trust me
right now another basketball analogy for you guys when you guys are looking into these
advanced ass concepts which is one of the reasons why I'm not necessarily a huge fan of like these people who are
teaching like 30y year plus complicated ass concepts to people who are just trying to get into trading today.
You're one giving them the opportunity to overtrade and two giving them the opportunity to
over complicate the [Â __Â ] and overthink everything. If you guys just keep it simple and just
say like, "Look, I understand that right now my strategy is simple, but I know I'll be successful with it." Just do
that. Right? If you just learned how to play basketball and you know for a fact you'll make that layup every single
time. Wide open layup. That's the only shot that you know you can hit that you know you're successful with
and then the coach puts you in the game and then you try and hit a behind the back 360 reverse layup, you're obviously
going to miss. You're obviously going to be unsuccessful. Versus if you have that open layup and you just shoot the ball,
you're probably going to make it. you have a much higher probability of making it with a simple shot compared to just
as like a twomonth in basketball player. You guys have to think about it like that. You guys are like literally
several months into trading like barely even into this [Â __Â ] and you guys are trying to do [Â __Â ] that people who have
been in the market for 30 plus years. I'm not going to name any names, but there's somebody in in here on on
YouTube that is doing this to you guys and he's teaching you guys [Â __Â ] that he
understands because he has 30 plus years in the market, but you guys have no [Â __Â ] clue what he's talking about and
you guys think you know what he's talking about. It's like LeBron being like, "Yo, peep this super advanced
[Â __Â ] basketball move." and you're like two months into trading or two months into basketball
and you barely know how to dribble with your right and your left hand, you're never going to be able to make that shot
ever until time catches up with it. You know, once you have time, that's okay. You'll be able to get there. But for
now, let's focus on the easy [Â __Â ] And trust me, with the easy [Â __Â ] we'll be successful. So, let's make it easy first
and be successful with the easy [Â __Â ] So, stop overthinking and stop over complicating. Keep it, y'all know the
saying, kiss, keep it simple, stupid. K I S S. Keep it simple, stupid. Okay, that's what I need you guys to do.
So, you guys have several different strategies, several mentors, and you guys overthink and over complicate.
You know what else you guys do? you try and get rich quick. You need to understand that this is a skill and this
is going to take a long time to be successful in and it's going to take take a long time to get rich in it.
Right now you guys have super low starting capital. Okay, funded accounts can help with
that, but you also don't know how to trade yet. So, one, you should not be trading on a live account right now.
Okay? Why would why would a coach if a coach sees, hey, man, you're two months into playing basketball. You've never
played in a game before. We don't know if you're going to be good. Matter of fact, come join the NBA. You're going to
be starting. That's pretty much what you guys are doing by jumping into a live account and putting like $5,000 on the
line. You're going to get eaten alive by this market. You have no experience. You have no clue what you're doing yet. Bro,
get on demo and get some reps in first. play in games that don't [Â __Â ] matter before you go into the [Â __Â ] playoffs
and in the NBA championship. This is not a get-richqu scheme. You guys make it up in your head that it's a
get-rich quick scheme. You guys think you're going to get rich quick by doing this. It's not the case.
You will never get rich quick doing something. I will tell you, if you follow all my rules, all of my steps
that I'm going to give you guys throughout this trading transformation, you will be able to make money quicker
than other professions where you have to clock in, clock out, climb up the corporate ladder. But you guys have to
understand, it's not going to happen in a month. You're not going to make 100k a month in a single year.
You probably won't even make 100K in a single year after like two or three years of trading.
But again, eventually you will be able to get to that point. It's just not as quick as you dream it up to be.
Okay, moving forward. What else do you guys do?
Let me think. What else do horrible traders do? You guys have a bunch of different
strategies. You have a bunch of different mentors. You guys overthink everything. And you over complicate
everything. You really do think you have to be [Â __Â ] Einstein to solve this [Â __Â ] You really don't. It's lit. Like
literally, if you guys keep it as simple as possible, bro, you'll be able to be profitable. You won't be able to take a
trade every day, but that doesn't matter, right? If the shot's not there and you you only know that you're going
to be successful on that simple ass shot, just don't take it. It's as simple as that. Just know your time is coming.
Okay? Might as well just take the successful shot so we can get better right now.
You guys think you're going to get rich quick. It's not the case. What else do you guys do?
Moving on from the get-richqu, you guys give up way too quick because when you don't get rich quick, you give up and
you move on to the next get-richqu scheme. What you guys put in your head that's going to get you guys rich rich
quick? You guys think it's going to be drop shipping? You guys think it's going to be Amazon
FBA? You guys think it's going to be growth operating? You You guys think it's going to be a bunch of this [Â __Â ]
All of those, it's the same process. Same [Â __Â ] You got to work hard for a long time, get good at the simple [Â __Â ]
then advance to the advanced [Â __Â ] and then boom, eventually you'll get there over the course of a long ass time.
So, you guys get into trading and you're like, "Oh, I can't wait to make a bunch of money."
You have all these different strategies. You try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try
try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try for like one day on each
of the strate on each of the strategies you fail consistently and then after two months you say I
didn't make 100k I'm out of here if that's your mindset get the [Â __Â ] lost you'll never make money ever in your
entire life swear you'll make money but not the way that you want you'll never make a lot of money
all you guys have probably the shortest attention span ever in the entire world. Wow. Attention span.
You guys have short attention spans. You guys think this one little plugin is going to change your life and it's not.
You guys need to think long term. And we talked about this in these earlier videos
where if you guys can think long term, five years down the line, I know that sounds like a long time, but think about
how old you are right now. 5 years isn't that far down the line compared to how much more life you have to live after
that. Right? If you're under 20 and you're watching this video, bro, you are even
if you're above 20, 25, 30, everything after that, you have this skill that is lifechanging. Now, we need to understand
that skills are life-changing. And we also have to understand that skills
take a long time to learn. And we have to have that long-term vision. It like it it won't probably won't even be five
years. It'll probably be a little bit less than that. But you guys have to kick that little [Â __Â ] short dopamine
[Â __Â ] short attention span to the curb, bro. You got to kick that [Â __Â ] out because if you don't,
you're you're not going to make it in entrepreneurship, in business, in trading. Because in order to be
successful in these, you have to have a long-term vision. So kick your short attention span to the
curb. Whether that means you take away TikTok, whether that means you take away social media, whatever it may be,
you guys need to take it away. And then last but not least, what the hell?
You guys over learn what I'm going to teach you guys in this trading transformation series. We're
going to start you guys off at the very beginning. A lot of you guys are going to be [Â __Â ]
Remember, I want you guys to throw away everything that you think you know about trading
before coming into here, okay? A lot of you guys are going to learn [Â __Â ] and then be like immediately
jump ahead, bro. And I I'm going to [Â __Â ] knock you out, bro. It drives me [Â __Â ] nuts. I teach you
guys a concept. And then instantly it's like boom. Let me apply this with some [Â __Â ] that I learned from somebody else.
And my other strategy happened in my mentorship literally the other day. I teach them the stepbystep four time
frame strategy on how they can be successful. And we get into the call and I'm like, "All right, everyone share the
trades that they took. We're going to go over them. I'm going to critique them." This and that. People are taking trades
off of one minute liquidity sweeps off of like, bro, we weren't even supposed to go on the one minute time frame.
People were talking about I went on the weekly. Bro, did you not even [Â __Â ] listen?
Keep it [Â __Â ] simple. There's a there's a point of diminishing returns with overarning. You guys try
and you guys try and overlearn and underpractice. Wow, that was hard.
All you guys do is overlearn and under practice, bro. And it drives me [Â __Â ] nuts. You guys think the the cure to
your unprofitability is going to be watching another ICT or TJR YouTube video. Eventually, you know everything
that you need to know about it, and you just have to get to [Â __Â ] work and practice it. I know YouTube videos are
entertaining, but guess what? They're doing no [Â __Â ] good for you at all. in terms of your trading journey, in
terms of your success, okay? You you just have to get into the charts and practice what you've already
learned. The simple [Â __Â ] you guys literally get in and then you start learning like 20 different concepts and
then you're like, "Bet, I'm ready to apply all of them." No, bro. Let me just give you one piece, two piece, three
piece, four piece. Okay? We apply all these. We learn how to do our layups. are easy [Â __Â ] Our easy little jumpers.
We get really good at those. Bet. Again, this trading transformation transformation series. This is my entire
YouTube channel from here on out. There's going to be more advanced stuff down the down the line. Bear with me,
bro. I'm trying to teach you guys the right way. But first, we have to learn the simple [Â __Â ] We have to get insanely
good at the simple [Â __Â ] Then we add more concepts. Boom. something else. Boom. We're in something else. Boom. We
get really good at that something else. We just keep adding little pieces and we keep upgrading. But right now, you guys
don't know [Â __Â ] You're unprofitable. Admit that you're unprofitable. All you guys think you're hot shot [Â __Â ] best
traders in the world. You guys don't make [Â __Â ] from the market. Get real with yourself.
Start with the simple [Â __Â ] You guys can't You guys literally are not profitable. You guys can't even get the
simple [Â __Â ] done yet. That says a lot about you. You guys literally are not successful
making a [Â __Â ] layup and you guys are trying to hit a half court shot currently.
Let's start on the easy [Â __Â ] All right. So now, what does that mean for a profitable
trading mindset? You have one strategy. You have one mentor. Again, I don't give
a [Â __Â ] if it's me or somebody else. It doesn't matter. Choose one singular person. And I know for a fact you guys
aren't going to listen to me and it's going to drive me [Â __Â ] crazy because I'm trying to help you guys with this
[Â __Â ] I'm literally saying if my [Â __Â ] doesn't work for you, go to somebody else. You guys have to understand that
this is for you. I'm like, understand that every single one of these videos, listen to the like
what I'm saying because I know for a fact you guys aren't going to listen. And it drives and like I'm thinking
about it right now and it's pissing me off because I genuinely want what's best for you guys. And some of you guys just
have [Â __Â ] no brains, bro. And it makes me want to let me help you.
Have one strategy. Have one mentor. >> Simplify everything. Get rich
in a long period of time. Stay strong for a
for a long time. Long time frame. Long time frame,
bro. Come on. These people are [Â __Â ] yelling outside. Give me a second. Long time frame
mindset. Seven over practice
and learn one step at a time. Okay.
I need you guys to have one strategy, one single mentor. Simplify everything. Make everything as
simple as possible. Understand that if you guys can do this, you guys will get rich in a long period of time, not
quick. You guys will genuinely make money over a long course of time. Be consistent with this for a long
period of time. You have to have, again, look at look at the majority of this stuff. It's all
simplicity and long-term mindset. It can literally be boiled down to those two things. Keep it simple and understand
that it's going to take a long time to be able to do this and you have to be okay with that. Stay strong for a long
period of time. Be consistent for a long period of time. Think in years, not days, in in decades, not months.
And overractice and learn one step at a time. Don't go in and learn five different confluences and then try and
apply all of them at once. You're going to suck dick at all of them. Get into the market. Learn step one just
like how we've been doing on here. I'm giving you guys one piece at a time and then I'm giving you guys homework. Look,
spot these pieces. Oh, we're good at that. Boom. Perfect. Checked off the box. Now we can add something else. We
have to over practice and learn one step at a time. Not learn five steps and then practice it once and then give up.
Practice for weeks. get insanely good at it and then move to the next step. And that is how you guys
are going to be successful in trading. Write all this [Â __Â ] down. Reread it every [Â __Â ] day. Do whatever it takes.
This is it, bro. This will turn you profitable. Period, bro. Like, this is it. Let's get the drip out for y'all.
Nah, I'm playing. Tuck that. Tuck that [Â __Â ] But anyways, today I wanted to make a little video um not necessarily
covering any concepts because what I wanted to cover is that trading is like building a house or like a skill, okay?
And everybody, right? Like I can be really good at trading for and I can be really good at let's say identifying
liquidity and somebody else can be really good at trading because they trade off of like bowlinger bands or
they're trade off of like indicators and that's their thing. And what you guys have to understand is that this [Â __Â ]
isn't just going to be like a copy and paste ass strategy. I'm going to give you guys a super duper systematic
strategy that you guys can really like try and apply by your do and see if it works out for you. Okay? But for some of
you guys, it just might not make make any sense. For others, it might make complete sense and it might turn you
profitable along with all the discipline and all the psychology stuff. Okay. But what I got what I want you guys to
understand from this video is that every single trader is going to be different. So I'm going to do my best to explain
how I trade and I'm going to do my best to explain concepts to you where you guys can take those concepts and pretty
much create your own strategy out of it. Okay? And that's my main goal and that's what I wanted to kind of get into in
today's video. Even though we've kind of already covered it, today's going to be short as [Â __Â ] okay? But I need you guys
to understand that like when I introduce liquidity and when I introduce strategy and when I introduce all of these
concepts, I need you guys to understand like I'm pretty much just laying out tools for
you guys to use. You don't necessarily have to use them. Some of them will be more beneficial
than others. I'm going to lay out these tools for you guys which are going to be pretty much confluences. Okay, so like
break of structure is one tool. I'm going to lay out liquidity. I'm going to lay out order blocks. I'm going to lay
out fair value gaps. I'm going to lay out equilibrium. I'm going to lay out breaker blocks. I'm I'm going to try and
just give you guys a bit. Damn. I'm going to try and lay out like a complete toolbox for you guys so that you guys
are able to be like, I want this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, and then bing bong boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom. You guys can work with it because it makes sense to you. Some of these confluences and tools, you're just
going to suck dick at them and they're just not going to make sense to you. Cool. If that makes if that's the case,
bet. leave them alone. Okay. So, before I wanted to like start introducing these concepts and these things where I'm
going over these confluences and these tools, I needed to make that clear where if it doesn't make sense to you, don't
[Â __Â ] use it. And if the way that I teach some [Â __Â ] doesn't make sense to you, either rewatch it and try and make
it make sense or just pick a different mentor. If like my strategy doesn't work for you, then like go and find somebody
else's strategy that works for you. Does that make sense? And when I say that works for you, it doesn't mean that
instantly turns you profitable. Okay? Because there's no strategy that's going to do that. Okay? Turning profitable is
a combination of a bunch of [Â __Â ] It's a combination of, you know, being disciplined. It's a combination of risk
management. It's a combination of time. Nobody talks about that [Â __Â ] Time and experience. Literally, I saw a tweet the
other day or I saw a tweet today where somebody was like, "Oh, you want to get good at trading or you want to get good
at crypto?" Like, just start clicking random buttons and see what happens and get better from there. Like, it's as
simple as that. Like, experience is by far the best teacher. That's what I want you guys to understand is experience is
the best teacher. Some of the [Â __Â ] that I explained to you might not make sense. And if it doesn't
make sense, kick it to the [Â __Â ] curb, unless it's like literally necessary to trade the way that I trade. And if the
way that I trade doesn't make any sense to you, either make it make sense by re-watching the videos over and over and
over again or just find a different mentor because strategies are everywhere on the internet for free. Okay, this is
full like disclosure. When you join like any sort of mastermind or any sort of course, including my own, your mentor is
not going to get in there and be like, "Tday one, the secret key of profitability that I've been keeping
from you for this entire time that no trader is allowed to see or post for free on YouTube, and they only keep it
in their $2,000 mentorship." Like, it just doesn't exist. So if you guys join like a mastermind like my
mastermind or like mentorship or somebody's course, you're going to see essentially free information that you've
seen everywhere on the internet. But the benefit well okay like courses me personally like the pre-recorded [Â __Â ]
I'm not that big of a fan of because again it's literally free information that's everywhere on the internet. I
like the way that I do my [Â __Â ] because I'm going to explain my [Â __Â ] to you guys and then it's like bet y'all can ask
questions and then I can actually fix the [Â __Â ] that you guys are doing wrong. But that's besides the point. Every
single strategy is for free on the internet, okay? There's no little [Â __Â ] hocus pocus magic key to
success. So you guys just have to find one that works for you. And we know that strategy
is not the the differentiating factor of turning profitable or not. So like if my strategy doesn't work for you, bet,
choose a different one and then learn from all of my psychology videos and learn from my risk management videos.
And if my risk management doesn't make sense to you, bet. Watch somebody else's video on it. You know, like all that I
can say is the best teacher is going to be experience. So, and then on top of that, every strategy is for free online.
So, like don't like again the pre-recorded [Â __Â ] isn't necessarily the best, okay? Like the [Â __Â ] that will
really benefit you will be like active live asking questions. I'm going to lay out a bunch of tools for you and if they
don't make sense and if they don't mean [Â __Â ] to you and if they just like you try it for literally months on end and
you're like I'm not profitable and I'm actually using good risk management and I'm actually using good psychology
and like you just see negative progress. You see your win rate go down. You see your [Â __Â ] just go down. And I don't mean
like in a week and I don't mean like in two weeks. I mean like over the course of a couple months.
then you can just say like, "Bet, scrap that shit." Because experience is the best teacher.
Okay? So, learn from these tools that I give you. I'm going to give you a [Â __Â ] ton of tools throughout this entire
thing and then you guys are going to grab them and you guys are going to try them and choose the ones that work for
you. And the ones that don't, throw them away. Okay? Simple as that. All right? That's really all I wanted to
make this video on. I wanted to make sure you guys like understand that my strategy isn't the end all be all. ICT
strategy, even though he has like a billion, isn't the end all beall. Your favorite mentor's strategy isn't the end
all beall, it's not going to be the thing that turns you profitable. You guys just have to use what works for
you. And then you guys have to get experience doing the [Â __Â ] that works for you. Because if it makes sense to you,
like it makes sense why you're entering. That's the best thing. That's the biggest and best thing where if you guys
fully understand why you're entering and you understand why price is moving and reacting the way that it is at that
point in time of your entry and your exit and your take profit. Boom. Now just time. That's all you
need. Cool. That's going to be the title of this video. Time. Time is the secret little orb. Wow. Game changer quote.
Time is really what's going to turn you profitable.
It's like a Fushig commercial. Y'all remember that she? No way. Look what I literally have on my desk.
This is what time is in trading. Fushigi, get time, get experience, use a strategy
that makes sense to you. I'm going to lay out a bunch of building blocks and if they don't make sense to you and if
they don't work, cool. That's what this [Â __Â ] is here for, to turn everybody profitable. That's my goal. So, like, if
my [Â __Â ] doesn't work for you, bet I'll be able to turn you profitable by taking you guys away from me and at least
giving you guys the right headsp space and like understanding what you're supposed to do and then take it
somewhere else for somebody strategy that works for them. Cool. Cool. So, now that you guys know how to properly think
about day trading, now that we know that this isn't some get-rich quick scheme, and that this is a skill that you guys
are going to have to build over a long period of time, and we understand that, we are now going to get into the
fundamentals of trading. So, if you guys are brand new to day trading and you guys don't even know what a candlestick
is, what a time frame is, these next videos are going to be super useful for you guys to help actually start
understanding the charts. So again, whenever you guys get on YouTube, you're seeing these crazy charts of price
moving up and price moving down, and you're like, "What the [Â __Â ] does this even have to do with trading, and how do
I even understand this?" That's what I'm going to be covering in these next videos. So, if you guys are an absolute
beginner, this is going to be super useful for you guys to understand the Japanese candlesticks, which I know
sounds like weird, like, oh, we have a little candlestick and we're going No, that's Well, I mean, it's kind of like
that. We have a little candlestick and we're going through the dark to be able to predict where price wants to go.
Okay, but this is going to be the absolute base and fundamentals of how you guys are going to be able to analyze
the charts moving forward. And this is going to be literally the base of the pyramid that you guys are going to be
establishing all of your day trading knowledge on. Okay? So we need to be able to understand the base fundamentals
of the charts like candlesticks, like time frames, like highs, like lows, like uptrends, like downtrends, like
consolidation, and things such as like break of structure. These things are going to be super beneficial for you
guys to help build this foundation that again is not going to necessarily teach you guys how to day trade just off rip.
You guys aren't going to be at that point in time to where you're like, "Yes, I'm ready to predict with high
probability where price wants to go off of this." No, but this is going to be our basic absolute fundamentals that we
have to understand these things in order to be able to build off of this to get into strategy to get into certain
confluences. So, with that being said, let's jump right into it. And I think I've done a good job of putting you guys
heads in the right position so that you guys can be successful moving forward. So for everybody that is
a trader, we're talking about the anatomy of candlesticks. We're going to talk about just candles, where the open
is, where the close is, the highs and the lows of candlesticks, and we're going to talk about highs and lows
within the market. And then we're going to talk about trends. Pretty basic, pretty boring stuff. But without further
ado, let's get started. So, if you guys come across a chart that looks like this, might as well understand what's on
the chart first and foremost, right? Honestly, we'll get into this first. On on Trading View, there's several
different types of chart. There's um candle uh Japanese candlestick chart, which is usually what most people use.
Um there's a line chart. Um and there's like hyenashi. There's all there's all these different types of
charts. Um, the most normal one is a Japanese candlestick chart, which looks like
this. And I have special little colors. If you guys want to see my colors, this is what they look like. If you copy
them, it will instantly make you profitable. You know what's crazy? When I first started trading, I would
literally copy my mentors chart colors because I was like, "His chart looks so clean." like and I and I thought it
would make me profitable. Um, far from the truth. So, I don't even know why I showed you guys that. But anyways,
these little guys right here are called candles. You know why they're called candles? Because they look like candles.
If we put a little flame on it, boom, look, it's a candle. We have the the waxy part of the candle and then we have
the candle wick. And believe it or not, these little tails to the downside and to the upside are
called wicks because these are candles. Crazy. So, I'm going to explain the anatomy of
these candles. We'll draw one right here. Boom.
Look at that little guy. Look at that little candle. And let's say this is a green candle. Oops.
[Music] How do I How do I Here we go. This is a green candle.
Okay. An up candle or in my case a blue candle. Don't ask me why. I just made it. No,
don't ask me why I have my candles blue and black and just think it looks cool. Literally as simple as that. Okay. Wow.
This is more so an art class than it is a trading class at this point. And we're going to turn all of these
red. [Music] And then we're going to color this guy
in red. Boom. This one looks a lot better than the first Picasso one that we got. Okay, so we have an up candle
and we have a down candle. With an up candle, a blue candle or a green candle for most of you guys, if
you guys are fresh on Trading View, there's four things that these candlesticks tell us. Okay, with an up
candle, this line right here, we call this or actually, wow, there's a lot to learn here. We might just talk about
candles today, not even highs and lows and trends. I think we'll save that for tomorrow.
So, this solid filledin part of the candle is called the body. Okay, so if we scroll down here, right, everything
that's blue and up, it's the body. Okay, everything that's green and up is the body. And the body tells us two things.
It shows us where price opened and it showed us where price closed. So with
a green candle, the start of the body, because we know green means up, the start is going to be
down here. And that is going to be where price opened. Okay. So in this candle's instance it's
right here. This is where price opened and then it's along with that the body also tells us where price closed. So up
here is where price closed. You know why? I I don't know why I said you know why.
Um, but you know why I they probably made it where price closed because
that's where the color stops and it's like boom ended there. Okay. So this line right here is the
candle close. Closure close. Boom.
So boom. The candlestick has already told us two awesome things about price. These candlesticks tell us a lot about
price, four things. And the body tells us two things. Where price opened, so the start of it, and
where price closed, where the end of this closing area is. You know what else these candles show us? They show us the
highest point that price went during that time period. And we'll get to that. And it also shows us the lowest point
that price went during that time period. And you know what? You know what those are? Those are seen through Wix. So this
guy right here, just to make this look better. So this up here is the highest point that price
went to. Hi. Hi guys. Hi. Boom. This is the high. So
that means price went was able to push up here. And think of wicks like a snail trail or like a skid mark on your
underwear. You know something's been there before. Similar with price. Price opened right here,
pushed all the way up to this point, and then came down and closed here. Okay? Ended that time time frame
right here. You know what else these wicks show? It shows the low. So, same as the high.
Oops. I don't know why I typed that. Okay. It shows us the lowest point that
price went. So, price opened. Who knows which came first, the high or the low, but price opened. We pushed down. Leave
a little snail trail down to this low. That means price got all the way down here and then pushed all the way up here
and then came all the way back down here and then closed here. So the highest point of this candle is right here and
the lowest point of this candle is right here. And then it's the same thing for a down candle just the inverse of the open
and the close. Because if price moved down then the open is right here, the close
is right here. The highest point of that candle is still right here and the lowest point of that candle is right
here. So that means price opened the time frame right here. Maybe it pushed up first, left a little
snail trail all the way up at this price and then pushed all the way down to this price at some point in time and then
came right here and then closed. Pretty cool. Okay,
now you're probably saying, "Well, how long do these candles last?" Well, that's what these cool things up here
dictate. So, if we scroll down to the candlestick chart, let's actually go on Bitcoin because Bitcoin is a 24-hour
market. You can see right now we are in on the 1 hour chart. And you can see within here,
right, price is moving. The the close is moving currently, right? Right now, we're in a green candle or a blue candle
currently. Okay. And we're moving up and down. Notice how like up here was the high.
And notice how it leaves that little wick, that snail trail, that history, that footprint of where price went.
It's to help us understand price. And if we look at the the candlestick before there, what happened to it? Where did
price open? Okay, it opened right here. And within an hour's worth of time, price at one
point during that hour came all the way down here to $47,992. And also within that hour, price came
all the way up to $48,147. And then at the end of the hour, it closed at $48,125.
So price opened right here on the hour and closed up here on the hour. And we can see this current
candlestick or actually we let's move back and talk about this one because this is a down candle.
So boom. This was 1 hour the hour before this one. So what time is it right now? It's 6:17 my time. Okay. So at 6:00 p.m.
this candle closed right here. And at 5:00 p.m. this candle opened right here. And at 400 p.m.
this candle opened up here because it's a down candle, right? So this is where the candle opened.
Okay. Right at 4 p.m. price started here. Think of the open as like the starting
point from the hour. And during that hour, price came all the way up to $48,377.
And also during that hour, price came all the way down to $48, $7.
And then at the end of the hour, it closed at $48,62. Okay? And I don't really want to confuse
you guys anymore. The only thing we'll talk about some more is time frames. So, I was just
saying that that was an hour's worth of time. What happens if I click boom 1 minute
or what happens if I hit boom the five minute time frame? Now, we're seeing the same chart, right? If we go back to the
hourly time frame, we can see, oh, look, boom, big c like big candles, right? Representing a lot of price movement
amongst hours of time. And then if we hit the five minute, we see that same price movement
but in shorter clumps, right? But each candle represents five minutes of price action. So now when we
see boom, this huge leg up, we can see it in fiveminute candlesticks. And when we see this leg down, if we go to the
hourly time frame, that to us just looks like one down candle, two, three, four, five, six, seven down candles in a row.
Versus if we go on the five minute time frame, we'll see, oh, we can see price moving up, moving down, moving up,
moving down, moving up, moving down, all the way down to here. Still showing the same price action.
still showing exactly where price went, but now we're able to show where price went just in smaller smaller periods of
time. Okay, so if we look at this,
this candlestick's about to close, right? We know it'll close because we can see the time right here. It's going
to close in four 3 2 1 boom. We see that's where price is going to close. We're going to wait for the next c
candle to open if it's going to happen. Boom. The next candle opens
and now is starting to create itself. So this fiveminute candle, what did it do? It opened right here because it's a
down candle. The open is always going to be on the top and the close is always going to be on the bottom. And it's
inverse for up candles. This candle opened at 48,169.
And during that five minute period, price was able to get all the way up to $48,178.
And also during that five minute time period, price was able to go down to $48,120.
And then by the time that five minute period came up, it ended right here at $48,147.
And you're going to be trying to figure this out, saying, "TJR, let's take a trade.
I'm going to shoot you. You're not even close to being ready yet. We just have to understand."
Literally internal thoughts speaking in this one, bro. Um, we we have to understand this first
because this is pretty hard to understand. I we're literally just going to keep forget highs and lows and
trends. I thought again, man, I'm jumping way too far ahead here, okay? We're just going to focus on candles.
And if the one thing that you guys can take away is that whatever time frame you're on represents the amount of time
that the candle has to close, okay? From the open till the close is the amount of time that that the
candlesticks on that chart represent. And then if you're also able to identify the open, the close, the high, and the
low within every single candle, then you're on a good track. And I think I did a relatively good job of teaching
you guys that today. Let's try and drill a little bit more out. We'll go to the 15-minute. Now,
these candles represent 15 minutes worth of price action. So, if we go in here and we'll do two more and then I'll let
you guys go for this little Super Bowl Sunday thing. Okay, if we look at this up
candle right here, where did price open? It opened right here, right? Because it's the bottom of the shaded blue part,
the bottom of the up candle. Okay, it opened at And if you guys don't know where I'm getting the prices from, it's
on the right hand side, right above me, right there. Okay, so we can see price opened at
$48,422. At some point in d time time during those 15 minutes, price came all the way
down here to $48,364. And also within that 15-minute period
time, price came all the way up here to 48,470. And then at the end of that 15-minute
time period, price closed right here. Ready? Last one. This next candle, price opened right
here at $48,446. [Music] And sometime during that 15-minute time
period, price was able to push up to $48,481. And then also during that 15-minute time
period, we had a tiny little wick, tiny little poke down, but for the most part, we just ended and closed that 15-minute
time period right here at $48,374. And the the last thing I want to leave you guys with is the cool thing about
this is you guys can see the the reason why these candlesticks are so awesome and so important and so
beneficial to us is because we can see a month's worth of price action in candles. We are able to see a week's
worth of price action in candles. We're able to see every single day worth of price action in candles. And then within
those days, we're able to see 4hour chunks of those days in candles. And within those four hours, we're able to
see hour chunks within those 4hour chunks within those days. And within those hourly chunks, we're allowed to
see 15 minutes, 15 minutes worth of price action. And within there, we're able to see five minutes worth of price
action. And within there, we're able to see one minute. every single minute worth of price action, whether price is
going up just the tiniest bit or down just the tiniest bit to help us figure out where price is going. And I'm just
going to leave that with you guys here. So you guys now understand two things. Candles and the anatomy of them. Open,
close, high, low. Open, close, high, low. And time frames. One minute time frame shows how many minutes worth of
price action? Five minutes. Dumbass. No. One minute. The 15-minute time frame shows how many
minutes worth of price action. What? 15 minutes. Yeah. Lesson one checked off. You guys are killing it. I'll see you
guys tomorrow or whenever the next video comes. I get like horny making these cuz I love teaching people. All right. Peace
out. All right. What's going on, guys? or as promised, we are going to add on to our candlestick anatomy and we are
going to talk about highs, lows, and trends within the market. We're going to start off with identifying highs and
lows, and we're going to start off by drawing them out. And we'll do the same with trends, and then we'll go ahead
into the actual candlestick chart so we can start outlining these uh market structures, okay, within the market to
help us understand this, okay? And again, we're not trying to put anything together. um we're just learning anatomy
of candlesticks and being able to identify some basic things that is necessary in order in order for us to be
successful within the market. So without further ado, let's talk about highs and lows. So highs and lows are a two
can okay, I'm not even going to try and write that, but it's a two candlestick pattern. And I'm not a pattern trader,
but what is a pattern or what creates a high is two candlesticks. And if you think about a high, what does it need?
It needs a move up. And then what what else does it need for it to be considered a high? Because if it just
keeps moving up, then there there's no high. Okay? We need the high to be identified with a move up then a move
down. So, it's as simple as green candlestick followed by a red candlestick and you take the highest
point of those two candles. Now, what's the low? It's the inverse. A move down, then a move up, red candle, green
candle, and you take the lowest point of those two candlesticks. Boom. You just learned how to identify highs and lows.
Now, believe it or not, when I was teaching my mastermind this, this was one of the hardest things for them to
consume, for them to digest because they just couldn't wrap their head around how easy and as simple as it could be.
Stop trying to over complicate things. Let's think back to our very beginning videos where I said, "Look, I'm going to
make this as simple as possible to make you guys successful." That's all I want to do. Stop trying to get in and do all
this crazy [Â __Â ] from somebody who's been trading the market for like 30 years and teaching you guys [Â __Â ] that takes 30
years of experience to understand when we can keep this [Â __Â ] simple and and get you guys off to the right
foot. I would love it if you guys just threw out everything that you've ever learned about trading and just restarted
with this series. Okay, a high is a move up, then a move down. You take the highest point of those two candles. A
low is a move down, then a move up. Red candle, green candle, green candle, red candle, lowest point and highest point
of those two candlesticks. Cool. Let's go and identify it in the chart now. Cool, cool, cool. Let's actually just go
ahead and do this on I'll find a fresh chart. Where are the highs on this? Within
here. Okay, I see four. Move up, then a move down. Bet. Highest point of those two candles. Move up,
then I move down. Bet highest point of those two candles. Move up, then a move down. Bet highest point of those two
candles. Move up, then I move down, bet, highest point of those two candles. Simple. Now, let's find lows.
I see two within this chart. Move down, then a move up. Lowest point of those two candles. Move down, then a
move up. Lowest point of those two candles. And if we scroll all the way back down here, move down and a move up.
Boom. lowest point of those two candles. We know how to identify highs and lows. We are awesome at this, guys. Good job.
Clap it up. But wait, some people might get confused in my mastermind. Somebody was asking, "Well,
TJR. Well, look, this candle goes up and then this candle's up, but then there's a
move down and and this was the highest point and this was the highest point right
here. What is the next candle? It's up. So, I don't give a [Â __Â ] about that. What's a
high? It's as simple as a move up and then a move down. I don't care how anybody else teaches it. You guys want
to learn from me? Awesome. This is how I teach it and this is what works for me. So, this is how I'm going to teach it.
I'm not going to give you guys no [Â __Â ] I'm not going to Look, it's a move up then a move down. Don't get
[Â __Â ] confused. This doesn't apply to me. This does. If this candle's wick went all the way
down here, but it still followed with a a black candle,
I don't give a [Â __Â ] I don't care at all. Ever.
This is the low. Move down, then a move up, and you find the lowest point of those candles. Move up, then a move
down. Bet. You find the highest point of those two candles. Look in here. Move up, then a move down. You find the
highest point of those two candles. Boom. Move up, then a move down. Find the
highest point of those two candles. Move down, then a move up. You find the lowest point of those two candles.
Simple enough. Don't try and do no. Whatever you're thinking right now, shut up. Shut up. Shut up, bro. I don't want
to hear it. Stop overthinking. Sh. Like, turn your brain off. Green then red. Green, red, high, red,
green, low. Simple caveman, bro. That's all we need. Awesome. We know how to identify highs
and lows. Now, let's talk about how we can identify trends. Uptrends and downtrends. That's how the
market moves. The market moves in three different ways. Up, down, and sideways. Okay, we want to talk about how we can
identify all three of the ways that the market moves. An uptrend, which is why we have to
learn highs and lows. First, consists of higher highs and higher lows. So, we see a high and then we see
a low and then we see another high and then we see another low. And would you look at that? Oh, there. This high. This
high. Oh, this high is higher than this one. And this low is higher than this one. Wow. It keeps going. Oh, higher
high, higher low, higher high, higher low. And that's an uptrend. You know why? Because it continues going up and
it's trending. Oh, craziness. Isn't that insane? So crazy. Now, take a wild guess what a
downtrend is going to look like. Lower highs and lower lows. Why does this looks so shitty?
There we go. Lower highs and lower lows. There's a high right here. There's a low right
here. There's a lower high right here. There's a lower low right here. There's a lower high like right here. There's a
lower low right here. Lower high right here. Lower low right here. Lower high right here. Boom.
That's a downtrend. So, we covered up down. Now, let's cover sideways. What does market do when it moves sideways?
Bing bong bing bong bing bong bing bong bing bong. Where there's no sense of direction. When we're literally moving
sideways. We're not going up and we're not going down. We're going side to side and that's just called consolidation.
Okay? And these trends and these movements can be found on every single time frame.
Right? If we go to the one minute, I'll be able to find uptrends and downtrends. If I go in consolidation, if I go to the
five minute, I'll be able to find uptrends and downtrends. If I go to the 1 hour, I'll be able to find uptrends
and downtrends. If I go to the weekly, I'll be able to find uptrends, downtrends, consolidation, all of that.
So, let's go ahead and do that right now. And this is when it's going to get scary.
And my homework for you guys is to be able to identify, literally just get into the chart and just mark out high,
low, high, low, high, low, higher, high, higher, low. be able to identify these highs and the lows and these trends and
these market movements because if you're able to do that, we're one step closer. Another skill learned.
Okay, so let's go into the 4 hour right now. 4 hour time frame where each candle represents 4 hours worth of price
movement. Let's not pay attention to what price was doing before this. I'll give you
guys a cheat sheet. Price before this was in an uptrend. Okay.
Why? Well, if we look at it, where was price going? It was going up. That's another really easy way to identify an
uptrend versus we see what price is doing right now. Where is price going? It's down going down. And if we want to
scale in and see this, okay, what do we do? We start just identifying the highs and lows within the market.
So, boom, this is a high. And boom, this is a low. Move down, then a move up. We take the lowest point of those two
candles. Move up, then a move down. We take the highest point of those two candles.
Then we look closer. Move down, then a move up. Wow, this low is lower than this one. Move up, then a move down.
Wow, this high is lower than this one. Lower hose. Lower lows. Lower lows and lower highs.
We're starting a downtrend on the 4 hour time frame. Now, if we get in here
and look, unfortunately, the past couple weeks, super sloppy price action. Let's actually zoom out a bit. It'll be easier
for us. Okay, let's just start. Let's ignore this. Let's just start right here because I
don't want you guys to get confused. An uptrend move up, then a move down. Boom. High. Move down, then a move up. Boom.
Low. Move up, then a move down. Boom. High. Move down, then a move up. Boom. Low, move up, then a move down. Even
this classifies as a high. If the candle is so minuscule that it looks like this, where you can't even identify the color
within it, just ignore it. I don't even want to see it. Move up, then it move down like this. You can see the color.
I'm talking about when the candle was literally flat. There was no gain and there was no loss. Like, it opened and
closed at pretty much the same exact price. Okay, so we see a move up, then it move
down. higher high. We see a move down, then a move up. Boom. Higher low. We see a move
up, then we see a move down. Boom. Higher high. Let's ignore what price is doing right now.
So, we just identified an uptrend. Let's scale down into the 15minute. And now you'll start to see, okay, wow,
there's a lot there's smaller trends within these bigger trends. And again, I don't want you guys get to get
overwhelmed by this. I don't want you guys to even look into it. I don't even want you guys to get confused by it.
Let's just focus on identifying trends. Okay, we have a move up, then a move down. We take the highest point right
there. We have a move down, then a move up. We take the lowest point right there. We have a move up, then a move
down. We have the highest point right there. Lower high. We see price move down lower. We see a move down, then a
move up. Boom. Lower low. We see a move up, then we see a move down. Boom. Lower high.
We see a dogey candle we don't give a [Â __Â ] about. Boom. We see a move down. Then we see a move up. Lower low. We see
a move up then a move down. Boom. Lower high. This was a downtrend. I don't want to
get confused with, you know, when these trends break or when that we'll get into that later. We'll talk about breakout
structure later. We'll talk about structure and all of that later. But right now, we just want to be able to
identify these trends. You guys are going to start seeing trends within trends where on the 15minute you see a
break of structure. Ah wow we're getting way too far ahead. Hands off. That's it for today. That's all I want. Just for
you guys to be able to identify these trends, higher highs and higher lows to be able to identify highs and lows. I
need to remember you guys are just starting out which is what I'm here for. We'll keep today nice and short, nice
and simple. Highs, lows, uptrends, downtrends. In consolidation, what is it? we don't necessarily have much of a
direction, you know, it's just kind of going sideways.
And the easiest way to see an uptrend or a downtrend, look at where it's going. If it's going up or
down on every single time frame, is it moving up or is it moving down or is it moving sideways? So, boom. You
guys just figured out how to identify trends. And you just guys you guys just figured out how to identify highs and
lows. Awesome. Drill it as many times as possible and then we'll circle back for tomorrow.
Okay. Focus. So today we are just going to be talking about breaker structure. Okay. And we are going to be applying
everything that we learned from highs, lows, and trends. Wait, highs, lows, trends. So we're
going to cover break of structure today. And I'm not going to tell you guys how to use it as a confluence. I'm not going
to tell you guys I'm not going to tell you guys [Â __Â ] I'm just going to explain it to you guys. And you guys are just
going to have to live with that and understand that we're not here to learn strategy yet.
Almost eventually, just not yet.
Okay, so without further ado, let's jump right into this bit. The S&P 500, we're not looking at that
[Â __Â ] today. We're going to be using our favorite tool, the brush. Okay, so
let's get started and quickly recap what we need to know in order to in order to identify a break of structure. What's a
high? Up, down. Candle move up and a candle move down.
What's a low? Down, up, move down, then a move up. We take the lowest point of the move down and the move up. That's
the low. We take the highest point of the move up and then the move down. That's the high. Cool.
Quickly identify it within the chart. Move down, then a move up. Lowest point of those two candles. Boom.
Move up, then a move down. Highest point of those two candles. Boom. Low. High. Do we give a [Â __Â ] about two consecutive
blue candles or green candles in your guys' case? No. Do we give a [Â __Â ] about two consecutive black candles or red
candles in your guy's case? No, we do not. Okay. So, if this candle's wick was lower than this one, we do not give
a [Â __Â ] because this is move down then a move up. This would be the low. Cool. Cool.
Now that we did a little recap of highs and lows, let's get into breaking structure. So, we know that
trends move in higher highs and higher lows and lower highs. Wow, that was horrible. This was
good. This was a good uptrend. Let's start with the down. Damn. Come on, man. You would think that I've done this so
many times. There we go. That's good enough. kind of a steep ass downtrend if you guys ask me. And I can't hit the
highs when I hit the lows perfectly. Wow, aim is off. But anyways, we noted that an uptrend moves in higher highs
and higher lows. And a downtrend moves in lower highs and lower lows. Okay. So, if we're in an uptrend,
boink boink, what happens when price does this? Boom.
Boom. And we end up making boom a lower low. Boom. And then a lower high after an uptrend.
Break of structure. And we're typically able to spot this even before the lower low and the lower high gets put in
because within an uptrend, if we see a low get closed underneath, that's a break of structure. And the
same thing in a downtrend when we see a high closed above breakup structure.
Okay? And you're probably thinking closed. What does that mean? It means the candle
literally closes underneath that lowest point. So when we're in an uptrend, we're ident we're looking for lows for
breaks of breaks of structure. When we're in a downtrend, we're looking at highs for breaks of structure.
Okay. So, if we're in an uptrend, boom, and we're like, "Wow, higher high, higher low, higher high, higher low."
Whoa. Low gets closed underneath. Okay, that's a break of structure
because then this low that gets made is going to be lower than this one. And in an in a downtrend,
the reason why it's a breakup structure is because this high is going to be higher than this one.
What? Okay. So, all we want to do is be able to identify these. And the way that we
identify it is in an uptrend, we're looking for lows. And when the lowest point of those two
candlesticks of the down then up move, if we see a candle close underneath that, not a wick. Remember, think back
to our candlestick anatomy. If this is a down candle, be red. If the close, so right here, if it
closes underneath the lowest point, then it's a break of structure. Vice versa. If this is a
green candle and we get a breakup structure to the upside, the
clues, the candle has to close, meaning this line right here on the candlestick has to be above this high.
Okay? So again, this shouldn't be too difficult to understand.
I just drew it out for you guys. Let's go ahead and spot this. Spot them. Got them. Okay. So if we look at this,
it's a great first example. Okay. What were we in? If we just move this to like Whoa, my thing's glitching.
We just move this here. Okay, if we just look at this like let's make this as simple as possible. We have
a high, then we have a low, then we have another high, then we have another low, whatever. Consolidation, then we have
another high, and then boom, look at the most recent low, right? So, before this, we were in an uptrend. You're probably
thinking, what? We we weren't in an uptrend. Yes, we were. Why? Look at prices. It's literally going up. We have
a high, then we have a low. Yes, this is technically a lower high and you're probably confused, but again, sometimes
the the market moves sideways, but again, this is a higher low. Okay, so as long as long as the lows within an
uptrend are not closed underneath, then we're not going to break structure. But then what happens? Okay, we get a higher
high. Cool. But then this candle closes, right? This is the where this candle closed
underneath the most recent low. So what did that do? that broke structure to the downside.
And then what do we see price do? We come up, we make a little high right here and then we continue lower. Okay,
let's find it in the opposite direction. Okay, a break for structure to the upside.
This is perfect right here. Okay, so we see boom, price is dumping down. We're in a downtrend, right? High, low, high,
low, high, low, high. And then what happens? This is the high move up then a move
down. Boom. This candle is equal. Okay, so we didn't necessarily get a break with this candle. But then boom, this
candlestick closed above this high within a downtrend.
Where did price go after that? Higher. And I don't want you guys to get any ideas. You guys cannot definitely
will never ever ever be able to turn profitable just by identifying breakup structure. So before you think that this
is the golden ticket to being profitable, just like put your hands back in your ass and keep watching these
videos, okay? Cuz you're not even a second of the way there. But this is a really awesome tool that we will use way
later down the line and throughout all of our trading and that we have to understand. And because we know the
concepts of highs, lows, and trends, we can now identify this. And now we have this nice little tool in our toolbox.
Okay. So, does that make sense? When we're in a downtrend, we're identifying highs,
okay? And we're waiting for highs to get broken above. And we're not necessarily waiting. We're just understanding that
if a high gets closed above, if the most recent high gets closed above in a downtrend, then it's a break of
structure. Okay? And now what has started an uptrend. Okay? So if we look from there, right, price ends up moving
higher. Okay, let's try and show some other examples
of this. Okay, on NASDAQ, we have a move down, then a move up.
Price closes this candlestick all the way underneath this low. Where does price go after that? Down. Okay, it
broke structure out of this uptrend that it was in. Okay, we were in an uptrend here. We got
a break of structure to the downside. And then because we got that breakup structure, we're now in a downtrend. And
then here we have a move up, then a move down. We take the highest point of those two. Boom. We get a break up. Now we're
in an uptrend. Okay, that's really all I need you guys to understand for now. Okay, is understand that when we're in
when we're in an uptrend, if a low gets closed underneath, if we get a candle closure underneath the most recent low,
then we're now in a downtrend. And if we're in a downtrend and the most recent high gets closed
above, now we're in an uptrend. I don't want you guys to Hold on. I have to sneeze.
I don't want you guys to try and put no pieces together. I don't want you guys to do any of that. I don't It's not that
deep. You guys know highs, you guys know lows, you guys know trends. And now, you know, when we're in an uptrend and we
see a candle close underneath the most recent low, it's a break of structure and now we're
in a downtrend. And the same thing to the downside. If we're in a downtrend and we
close above the most recent high, if we get a candle closure above the most recent high, now we're in an uptrend.
Okay? Plain and simple. Super super simple. That's all I want to
teach you guys today. Now that you guys understand the base fundamentals of day trading charts, trends, highs, lows, and
time frames, now we can actually get into the fun stuff. And before you guys get too excited, okay, these are
confluences and pieces of strategy that took a very long time for me to learn. So don't get like too freaked out when
we start going deep into these concepts. take your guys' time with this because someone like me, again, like I was
saying, this isn't going to happen overnight in one single day. If you guys need to space this out and rewatch this
video a couple times or rewind over a couple confluences that you guys may have missed out on, that's okay. I'm
going to try my best to explain these in the most beginner friendly way so that you guys are able to fully grasp these
concepts and understand them in the complete entirety, building off of those fundamentals that you guys just learned.
Again, these are going to be very very very very I can't stress enough the most important thing when it comes to
understanding and predicting with a high probability where price wants to go on a daily basis. So, if you guys are unable
to understand these confluences, do not move to the next one and just say I'll get back to this later or I'll attempt
to figure this out like as time goes on. No, we need to fully understand these confluences. So, if you guys need to
spend more time on this, please do that. I tried to structure these videos so that they're very I guess you could say
like beginner friendly where we we go from like absolute bare minimum and then we scale up to these highlevel skill
sets. So we're going to start off with don't discredit these early concepts that we're going to start talking about
because we're going to jump straight into liquidity and draws on liquidity is probably the most important confluence
that you guys are going to learn. But again, it's one of these fundamentals that we have to learn and have to
understand just like candlesticks, just like time frames, okay? just like trends, just like highs and lows, and
just like breakup structure to be able to then transition that into draws and liquidity. And then once we can
understand draws on liquidity, we'll go a little bit deeper into these more advanced concepts that are going to
expand your guys' knowledge on how to predict price action consistently with a high probability on a daily basis. So
before you guys get into these, just take a deep breath, get your notepad out. Maybe if you guys want to draw
these out while we're going over these videos, that's okay. That will be beneficial for you guys. And again, take
your time with each one of these confluences. If you guys want to split them up daytoday, that's okay. And
again, if you guys want to learn these concepts even more in depth, I have a little link in the description where you
guys can be coached and mentored by me. If you guys are already like halfway through this video and you guys are
like, "This is freaking awesome, but I want to get like direct mentorship from you." There's going to be a link in the
description if you guys want to sign up for my day trading blueprint where you guys are going to be able to get on
coaching calls with me and be able to relearn all of these confluences that I'm giving to you guys in this video
where if you guys are struggling with this, you guys are going to be able to ask me and other coaches some questions
on how to figure out these confluences and to structure your strategy in the right way. So, if you guys are
struggling with this, maybe you guys consider joining the blueprint because that's what it's there for to help you
guys a little bit more on a more personal level. if something like this, a massive free course, isn't necessarily
getting you guys to where you guys want to go. So, with that being said, let's jump into these confluences. Again, take
your time. I try and go from like bare minimum scaling up to some high elite level analyzation of price action. So,
again, take your time with this. With that being said, let's jump into it. >> That was insane. Drop a little comment
below if you guys have been enjoying this. Today, we're talking about, as you guys can tell by the title, liquidity.
Liquidity. Liquidity. Liquidity. Liquidity. L I Q U I D. Wait. L I Q U I D I T T Y.
Liquidity. Spelling be champion. Just kidding. I dropped out of college. Anyways,
boom. Okay. Wait. Boom. Okay, so we're going to go over
Damn, this is actually small as [Â __Â ] Let me make this bigger for you guys. That's what she said for you guys.
Pause. Okay, what it is, why we need it, and then how we identify it. That's day two. So, Ben, so let's
cover what is liquidity. So, liquidity is just resting orders. Okay. Whoa. Five.
Damn. Nine. We're getting higher and higher. Okay. So, what is it? It's resting
orders. Okay. And this might not make a lot of sense to you guys right now. Okay. But I just want you guys to
understand the concept of it. Not where it is on a chart. Not Jesus. This game is so [Â __Â ] long.
Not where it I'm so sweaty, bro. Not where it is on the chart chart, not how to identify it,
just understand the concept itself and why we want to be able to identify it. And then we'll get into identifying it.
And then also way more down the line, we'll talk about how we can use it to our advantage to be able to take trades
and to be able to understand where price wants to go. Okay. So, what is it? It's literally just resting orders, okay?
Whether that be buy orders, whether that be sell orders, whether that be buy limits, whether that be sell limits,
whether that be stop losses, whether that be take profits, resting orders. And it is on every time
frame and it is required for the market to move
slash change direction. Okay, so it's resting orders and it lies on every single time frame. You can find
liquidity on every single time frame and you guys will understand that more when we get into identifying it because
believe it or not, you guys already know how to find it because it's one of the We're going too far because it's one of
the concepts. Don't go too far. It's one of the concepts that I already taught you guys and it's super easy to
identify, believe it or not. Um, it appears on every single time frame and it's required for the market to move
slash change direction slash break structure slash start a new trend slash continue a trend all of that good stuff
because again we need resting orders to be able to fill orders to be able to make the market move, right? If we can't
fill orders then the market can't move. Okay? And that's also why we need it. Okay? Again,
this is going to be a pretty quick video. Okay, so why do we need it? Why do we even want to know where
liquidity is, where liquidity lies, or why do we even want to understand it in the first place? Because
it determines where
market is drawn towards and it is required
for market to move slash change direction. Whoa.
Okay. So why do we even want to be able to identify it in the first place? Because it determines where the market
is going to draw towards liquidity is used as like a magnet. Just like a [Â __Â ] what how can I relate this? Like have
you guys ever seen the movie Robots and that big annoying ass like bowling ball one robot who's mean, who was like
the like the biggest and like the like most goatated robot. And then there's like that massive swinging magnet thing
and he ends up getting sucked up to it. You guys probably don't remember that, but it's in the chop shop. Y'all
remember the chop shop? If you guys haven't seen your homework tonight is watching the movie Robots. It's an old
ass cartoon movie, but it's awesome. Um, but anyways, why do we need it? Because it determines where the market is drawn
towards. So obviously what are what is our goal when we're trying to trade, right? Think back to some of our
beginning days. What are our main goals? To figure out where price wants to go. That's our only goal when we're trading
is to figure out and be able to accurately predict where price wants to go. So that's a pretty big [Â __Â ]
thing. If this thing determines where the market is going to draw towards this should be the center of our attention.
This should be the the [Â __Â ] thing, okay, that gives that we give all of our attention because it's where market gets
drawn towards and it's required for the market to even move or change direction. So, it's what
causes price to go to another price, causes price to move. It also causes price to change direction. It causes all
of the market movements. Okay? So that is why we need it in order to determine damn
in order to determine where price wants to go. Okay? Because again that is our main focus. All right? And if we and if
our goal is just to make money within trading, we're going to suck ass at predicting where price wants to go.
Because if our only goal is to make money within trading, we're going to overleverage. We're going to overtrade.
And we're not going to enter for any good reason. versus if we just want to understand where price wants to go and
if we just want to predict where price wants to go and we take accurate sound probable decisions off of that money
will just come along with those decisions. So today's going to be really quick, super simple liquidity, what is
it? It's just resting orders and it's on every single time frame. It's required for the market to move and to change
direction. Why do we need it? Why do we want to be able to spot it, identify on the chart, which we're going to get into
next video? Because it determines where the market is drawn towards or it determines where the market is drawn to
where price is drawn towards and it's required for the market to move and to change direction. So, pretty freaking
big deal, this little concept right here. So, that la wraps up our first little
lesson. [Â __Â ] it. We actually might split this into three. Um uh
I'll see I'll see how what I want to do here. But anyways, that wraps it up. Super quick, super simple. Boom. We have
the concept. Don't try and look up no extra video again, guys. Trust me, daddy.
Trust me. I promise you guys, I'm going to make trading so [Â __Â ] easy for you guys. Just go one step at a
time with me, okay? And maybe you guys are watching this five years from now and like you're like, "Bet on to the
next video. Wrap it up. [Â __Â ] like chipmunk [Â __Â ] pipsqueak." Okay, but for the people that are watching this in
real time that are like trying to learn, that are like, "Please, please, please just give us a strategy." Shut the [Â __Â ]
up. We're going to get there. You guys have to understand this [Â __Â ] first. Because if you don't understand this
[Â __Â ] first, you're just going to be forever stuck in the constant cycle of buy signal, buy signal, buy signal. Oh,
I want to make money. I want to make money. I don't even give a [Â __Â ] where Price wants to go. Okay? And then I'm
going to scream and punch all of you guys in the face when I meet you. And we don't want that.
It would be fun for me, but we do not want that. And I want you guys to turn into profitable traders.
So, it takes one little itsybitsy one 1% better every single day. In fact, if you guys are watching this 5 years later,
it's probably better if you guys take the [Â __Â ] one step at a time, too. And just like don't [Â __Â ] don't like just
get through like the next 50 videos in a single night and then just all just try and trade it all at once. It's going to
be way too much information versus if you just take this one step at a time, trust me, it'll be super beneficial.
Today we are going to be talking about identifying it or where it lies, where liquidity lies on the chart. Um, and no,
we're not going to be talking about liquidity sweeps. We're we are just going to be talking about
liquidity in general. Okay? And you're probably thinking, "What? That doesn't make any sense." Like, what? I want to
trade liquidity sweeps. That's all you trade. That's every single trade recap you're talking about. Liquidity sweep. I
know, little Billy, but guess what? You need to wait a [Â __Â ] second because you don't even know anything right now.
We're on day 11 of you learning how to trade. So, with that being said, we're just Today is going to be another
relatively short day. All of these concepts are going to be relatively short days until we put that [Â __Â ]
together. BR, that's going to be a long day. That's going to be like an hour. I'll probably split that [Â __Â ] into like
three 1-hour segments to put that [Â __Â ] together for you guys. But right now, like the concepts themselves, they
should be easy because they are pretty easy to understand. And that's my goal to make this [Â __Â ] really easy to
understand for you guys. So, without further ado, let's jump into the chart work and start talking about where
liquidity lies. So, if we think back to I'm not even going to pull out the Google doc, but if we think back to what
liquidity is, right? It's resting orders or air a price range where orders can get filled. Okay? And we think about why
we need it. It's because that's where orders get filled. And that's and liquidity is what moves the market. It's
what causes the market to change direction. It's what literally makes the market move on every single time frame.
So there's liquidity on the one minute, there's liquidity on the 5m minute, 15, 1 hour, weekly, daily, monthly. Um
there's liquidity throughout all of that. And there's constant fills of these price ranges where liquidity lies,
filling of these resting orders to make the market move the way that it does. So with that knowledge, we want to figure
out where do these orders lie? Where could potential resting orders be? Well, let's think about this in just a super
basic manner, okay? If we're in an uptrend, okay?
And we think about just how a trend moves, okay? Higher highs and higher lows, right?
Most beginner traders or retail traders, they like they're taught, luckily you guys are being taught by me, but they're
taught that like when you see an uptrend, you wait for a high to get pushed past and then you enter into a
long. Okay, so we know that, okay, there's going to be people entering into buys
when highs get pushed above. Okay, what else is happening? Well, in a downtrend,
most people put their stop losses above highs, right? So, thankfully, there's a lot of
[Â __Â ] idiots who think uptrends are also downtrends, you know? Like, luckily, that was one of
the first things that we taught you guys, so you guys don't get confused with that. But in turn, those idiots
maybe they see a downtrend on a smaller time frame. Maybe we're on the hourly time frame and they're on the 5minute
and they see a downtrend, whatever. But because of that, there's also stop losses above these highs. So people are
pressing by when these highs get pushed above. And also people are getting forced out of their sell positions that
they were in because of their stop losses above these highs. And if we think about how a stock exchange works,
when we're shorting a stock, in order to exit, we have to buy those shares back at
either a higher price or a lower price. Most of the time, we're trying to get a lower price because we're shorting.
Okay? So, when these people are shorting the market and they get stopped out, what do
they have to do? They have to buy those shares back. So now there's two sets of resting orders of people
buying. Okay, we have people who are getting stopped out from their short positions and we're also getting people
going just purely long after these highs get broken above. So now we see, damn,
lots of orders get filled above highs. H. Isn't that pretty nifty? Okay, now let's think about a downtrend.
Let's think about lows. Well, when let's do it reverse. When we're in an uptrend and we are going long, where do we
usually put our stop loss underneath lows? And again, there's idiots.
So sometimes we're in downtrends and people try and long these little retracements and they have their stop
loss underneath these lows. So what happens when that stop loss gets hit,
they have to sell their shares back at a lower price, right? They probably
went long somewhere within here and then boom, their stop loss gets hit. They exit the position at a lower price price
price causing them to have to short, right? It's it's it's an exchange or sell, right? They entered into buys,
they have to sell it back at a lower price, losing money. And then at the same time in a downtrend,
when people or retail traders see lows get pushed below again downtrend, what do they do? They
enter into shorts. So, wow. We can see that highs and lows
are typically where a lot of orders are filled. Above highs and below lows. So bingo. There you go. We figured out
where liquidity is. It resides above highs and below lows. Now, something to keep in mind though, because we're
talking about the banks or the institutions, the algorithm, whatever, to fill these massive amounts of orders,
okay? Because we're talking about that, we don't [Â __Â ] know where they're going to fill those orders.
We just know that there's a possibility for them to enter into those orders
above highs and below lows. So, it's just a probability thing. Okay? So, when we see an uptrend, we're not like seeing
a high and instantly being like short it, right? Because then we would be stupid because then then price would
look like this and it would like be like the worst endless cycle of like liquidity sweep
like just a constantly expanding consolidation like that, right? And that's not how it works, right? Because
we we see price move in trends, higher highs and higher lows. So we know that okay there there was potential for
orders sell orders to be filled here because there's so many people going long right if we understand that there's
resting buy orders here again this market is an exchange there are resting buy orders here a [Â __Â ]
ton of them right because there's people going short they're going to get stopped out and there's also people going long
when this high gets pushed above Wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity
for the market to fill its sell orders, right? Because we're playing against the house. The
house always wins. The house is built to beat us. So, how does the house beat us? By going
by literally going the [Â __Â ] against us. There's they see, oh, there's a [Â __Â ] ton of buy orders resting above highs. So
when this high gets pushed above, what does that give them the the opportunity to do? Short it. They can fill their
massive amounts of sell orders and cause a change of direction. Cause those breakup structures that you guys
see or I were identifying on the chart and start a downtrend. But does that mean they're they're going
to short at every single high? Does that mean they're s filling sell orders at every single high? And does that mean
they're filling buy orders at every single low? No. But we know there's just some sort of
probability that it could happen. Okay. So, I want to go into the chart and I don't want to get too ahead of
ourselves, but I just want to go into identifying this. And we can see this pretty frequently
within pretty much like every freaking time frame, okay? If you if you really try and really want to do that.
Okay? So, like again, I don't want to get too into this, but we see an uptrend here, right?
Moving higher highs, higher lows, right? There's a high right here, a low right here, high right here, low right here.
And then look at this candle. What does it do? Or if we even go into the lower time frame, we can see. Wow.
What does this look like? Buy orders getting filled underneath these lows. What is this big dick of a
candle thrusting to the thrusting to the downside underneath these lows? Do
it gives the market opportunity to fill buy orders. Why? Because people have to
sell. People have to people get stopped out of their buy
orders. Let's say they press buy right here because they're like, "Oh my god, it's forming an uptrend on the
fiveminute. We don't give a fuck." Okay, people press buy right here and their stop loss is underneath these lows. So,
what does the market do? Mink, give me those. No more buy orders for you. You have to
sell and you have to sell for us to buy. And then also, what does that do? I'm sure a lot of you guys, if you guys
saw this big black candlestick breaking this support zone, y'all are pressing [Â __Â ] sell. Y'all
are like, "Oh my god, it's going to go down because it broke the support, idiot. Market's going long."
But again, if we zoom out because I again, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. If we zoom out on the hourly
time frame, we can see that we were in an uptrend. Okay,
let's find more examples of this. We can even find it on the weekly time frame. Look at this. We're in a downtrend,
right? We see a breakup structure right here. We see a high right here. Boom. And like this is how manipulative the
market gets. Okay, this was like all-time highs, okay, before we had like our mini freaking recession during like
started in 21 all the way till like 22 23. Um, okay, we see a break of structure on the weekly and then we see,
oh, this nice little high is made right here and then, oh my gosh, the markets we're we just made a monthly retrace. We
We can't wait to get our economy back. Psyche. You're my liquidity.
Because what was every single dumbass doing when they saw these highs get pushed above? They were going long. And
what did all the people who thought they were smartasses by shorting this leg down, who have
their stop losses above here, what were they forced to do when this goes above there?
They're forced to buy back those shares at a higher price causing
them to get stopped out, right? Because that's how the exchange works. They have to buy back those shares. So there's two
forms of buyers here. people who are getting stopped out and then also idiots who are going long and also idiots who
are going short on this. And then what does that give the market the opportunity to do? Fill sell orders and
[Â __Â ] the bed. Okay. I don't know how political we can get on
here. Um we all remember what happened around January, February in 2020. that big spooky thing. So scary. If we look
at the monthly time frame, let's really think about how manipulative um the people in charge, the market
makers are. Wow. Ain't that convenient?
Ain't ain't this thing right here that little scary thing that made us lock our doors forever
and made people lose jobs and made people lose loved ones. Isn't that [Â __Â ] convenient
that it comes down, sweeps monthly lows
and fills a bunch of buy orders and stops out a bunch of people who were going long throughout all of this. and
also caused every person to be so [Â __Â ] scared
that they ended up shorting the stock market. And wasn't that just the best buying
opportunity for the market makers and for all the people in charge? Like if that doesn't show why liquidity
is important, like like two months, I'm we know that [Â __Â ] lasted longer than two months.
They just needed to hit a little pump and dump on your headpiece so they could capitalize and push price all the way up
to alltime highs. So now hopefully you guys realize why this [Â __Â ] is important.
cuz you can see through lies with the chart. There's a reason why I I mean I'm not
even going to get [Â __Â ] political with the shits, but there's a reason why I never
entertained any of this [Â __Â ] because I saw this and I saw through the [Â __Â ]
And that's the awesome thing about charts. Charts do not lie ever. And we can see
through that by seeing liquidity. So all that I want you guys to take away from that today is liquidity lies
above highs, right? Because what happens is a bunch of people goes go long. Do we want to go long when there's like a
potential sweep? Well, no, because the market's looking to go short or has the potential to go
short. And then same thing in a downtrend. Okay, we know that there's a bunch of
people who are going to go short. Why? Because there's stop losses underneath lows for people who have to sell who
have to sell their shares at a lower price. And there's also people who are going to go short because they it's in a
downtrend. And do we want to be a part of the [Â __Â ] crowd? No, sir. We want to be
part of the [Â __Â ] market makers. We want to be on the winning side of things. So, do we press buy every time
we see a low get pushed underneath? Hell no. Y'all aren't even there to learning even how to confirm that this shit's a
sweep, but we just need to be able to identify and just understand. Boom. You guys
understand it. Liquidity lies above highs and below lows. That's where the majority of orders are going to get
filled. Cool. And that's where price is typically drawn to towards. It's drawn
towards highs and it's drawn towards lows. Cool. I awesome. Nice. We are going to be talking about order [Â __Â ]
Order blocks and order [Â __Â ] Okay. So, similar to liquidity, I'm going to be talking
or just type bro. My brain is fried. Okay, we are going to be talking about order blocks. All right, just typing
[Â __Â ] out. And day one or part one is just going to be explaining them, understanding how they work,
understanding how they're useful for us. So again, today's going to be rather quick and then I will do part two of
this and we can talk about where to identify them um and keep it simple as that. I want to do this a little bit
differently than I did the boot camp. The main goal is to introduce all of these topics. So, like what I did with
the boot camp was like liquidity sweeps, break of structure. Let's see how we can use those two together to determine
where price goes. We're not going to do that. What we're going to do is we're going to lay out each tool in front of
you guys, not tell you how to use it yet because I'm sure a lot of you guys have already tried to use the [Â __Â ]
And if you have, it's like, bro, what do I even waste my time and my hours doing if I'm never going to turn anybody
profitable? But for the people that do listen, this will
be [Â __Â ] awesome. So, the goal is just to lay the tools out in front of you before we put them into action. And then
once you have a good understanding of the tools and why we want to use them and how to use them and how to identify
them, then we can start building our first house. Okay. So, first things first, order blocks. What even are they?
Okay. Say price range where
large orders were able to be filled. Okay. And let's think back to let's not even think about that
actually. Let's price range where large orders were able to be filled. Okay. So if we think order
block boom perfect representation a block price to price of range price range
where a lot of orders were able to be filled. and cause the market to
change direction. Boom. Okay, it's a price range where large orders were able to be filled and
caused price or market to change direction, break structure, all that good stuff.
Okay. Boom. That's what it is. Simple. Simple enough. Okay. Why we want we use it slash
Why do we want to use it? Slash How does it benefit us?
Is the order [Â __Â ] in the room with us? Is the order [Â __Â ] are you seeing it in your dreams or is it actually real? TJR.
Well, I don't know. I see it every morning. Where where where do you see the ordercock?
Where is the order [Â __Â ] Well, I see it every morning on market open.
Okay. Anyways, why do we want to use it? How does it benefit us? Okay. Well, let's
think about what it is. It's a price range where large orders were able to be filled and caused market market to
change direction. So, why would we want to use this or let's reverse this? How does it benefit us? Let's talk about
that first. Well, we know for a fact if if large amount of orders Let's move
Okay, so sorry I just had to go edna mode on the um but why do how does it benefit us and
why do we want to or why do we want to know how to use it? Okay, if if a large amount of orders were able to get filled
within that price range, right, we see it get made, we see an order block get created,
okay, if price revisits that area, it's more than likely that because there was so many orders that were able to get
filled before, it's likely that there will be availability for us to fill even more orders in the same direction.
So we know that price will likely if we see a rejection, right? If price comes up to that price range and then we see
like buying power out of it or like selling power out of it, whatever type of order block it is, bearish or
bullish, right? Up or down. If we see a rejection off of it, we'll likely know that, hey, price was
able to fill even more of those orders because that's a high quality price range where a bunch of orders were
filled beforehand to change the market direction in the first place. So when we revisit
that area and then we see right so if we have ah I don't even want to give this away
but okay we have our order block right we see that this
is where the orders were filled that caused price to change direction I don't even want to get into this because this
will be tomorrow but if we come in and revisit this and then we see more selling power come out of that we
see rejection out of that. It's pretty safe to assume that even more orders were filled within here. The price is
going to continue lower and go in the same direction as those orders that were filled previous.
Cool. Cool. And there we go. That is ordercock. Okay. Ordercock explained. Order blocks
explained. All right. All right y'all. Welcome to order blocks part two. So anyways, if you guys remember from
yesterday, we talked about uh what they are and why they're useful to us, how we can benefit from them, how why we need
them. Okay, so we'll do a quick over overview of it. What are they? Okay, it's a price range, right? Order block.
Okay, it's a price range where a large amount of orders are able to get filled that change price direction or cause
market to move. Okay. So, with that in mind, oh, and sorry. And why do we want to
know where to identify them within the chart? Well, it's safe to say that if this is our little price range, this a
horrible box. If this is our little price range where large orders were able to get filled before causing price to
move or change direction, safe to assume that if price revisits this price range and sees selling power
out of it, if it's a bearish order block, then price is going to continue in that direction. And then similarly,
if price revisits a bullish order block and we see buying pressure out of it, it's pretty safe to assume that more buy
orders were able to get filled within here. And price is going to continue to the upside. So with that knowledge, now
let's figure out how to spot them within a chart. And again, we're not going over how to take trades off of them. We are
just going over how to identify them. Okay. So where do order blocks appear? Order blocks appear. Where do large
orders get filled? Large orders get filled. Where liquidity lies? Oo, we're combining tools. We're actually could
combine two tools, liquidity sweeps and order blocks or liquidity sweeps and break of structure to be able to find
order blocks today. So, boom, we're using our tools now. Okay. If we know that large orders, right, if we think
about liquidity and change of direction within the market, we know that large orders could potentially be filled above
highs and below lows. We also can know that those large orders are are filled by seeing price push
above highs and then seeing a break of structure after pushing above those highs changing
market direction. So then what does that make this this leg up that causes that liquidity sweep
that causes those orders to be filled? What is this price range? Ding, ding, ding. It's an order block. Okay, so the
leg up that sweeps liquidity that causes the breaker structure to the
downside that causes all those sell orders to be able to get filled is our order block. And when we see it
revisited and then selling power out of it, it's safe to assume that price can move further to the downside. Now, same
thing in the other direction when we see lows get swept.
And how do we know they're swept? When we see a breakup structure. And then what does it what does that
make this price range? An order block. Because a bunch of buy orders were able
to get filled on this sweep to the downside. And then from there we see price come down, revisit that area, and
if we see buying power out of it, it's safe to assume that price is going to continue higher.
Okay, so all order blocks are when it's a bullish order block, it's the leg down that causes the liquidity
sweep. The move down, just the move down. Okay, when we're going to get into this and I'm going to [Â __Â ] yell at
you because a lot of people are super freaking stupid and it makes me want to scream. It's just the leg down. It's not
any of the move up. It's just the leg down that causes the sweep. And how do we know it's a sweep? When we
see the breaker structure, same thing to the upside. Okay, it's the leg up. No, it's not it's
not this move down. It's the leg up. that causes the sweep. How do we know it was a sweep? Because it breaks structure
right after that. Okay. And it's the price range from the leg up.
Cool. Let's go into the chart and start identifying those. Okay, let's look at
this. We see on the weekly time frame, perfect example, we see price move up, sweep
these highs when it was in an uptrend. Then what happened?
Price breaks structure, changes its trend to the downside by closing underneath that low.
Then what does that make this the leg up from here up to here? That is the order block. Why? Because
it's the only the move up. We don't count the [Â __Â ] move down. It's only the move up.
Okay, the move up that causes the sweep. How do we know it's a sweep? because we break these lows and change market
structure that we already learned about. And then what does price do? We revisit the area. We see selling pressure out of
it. Price continues lower. Okay, let's see another example right here. It's another example. Okay, we see a low
within a downtrend, right? How do we know it's a downtrend? Because we broke structure right here. We're moving down.
Okay, move down, then a move up. We find the lowest point of those two lows. Okay, we see a leg down
and then we see a break of structure. How do we know it's a break of structure? Because this is the high move
up then a move down. We close above it. What happens to price? It revisits the
leg down. The move down, not the move up. We don't include the move up. Just the move down
that caused the sweep where those orders were filled. What does price do? It revisits. We see buying pressure out.
Price continues higher. And this can be seen on every single time frame along with every single other tool that I give
you guys during this trading transformation. Every single one of these tools can be
found on every single one of these time frames. Another cool thing. Okay, we saw this get filled into this order block,
but we made another one. How do we know that? Okay, we have a high right here. Move up, then a move down. Okay, we see
price push above that. We also saw price okay move up then a move down. This is a high. We broke structure to the upside
right on this. So we were in a mini uptrend for the time being on the weekly. But then what happens? We come
up. We sweep these highs. How do we know it's a valid sweep? Because we end up breaking structure with this
candle. Where's the move up that caused the sweep? It's from this low all the way up
to this high. It's the whole move up. What do we see? Price revisits it. We see selling
pressure out of it. Price moves lower. Craziness. Look at this. On the monthly time frame,
we were in a downtrend. How do we know we were in a downtrend? Because move down then a move up. Cool. This is a
low. We got a break of structure. Awesome. We were in a downtrend. We see a low.
We see a move down. Then when do we finally see a break of structure? Right here with this
candlestick, we see a break of structure to the upside. Where was the move down
that caused this sweep from here down to here?
What does price do? It breaks structure. It revisits that area. Revisits the order block. We see buying
pressure out of it. Price continues higher. Um, let's try and find some more
examples right here. More examples. We were in a in a downtrend right here.
Okay, we see boom. Uh, I don't really like this example because the the sweep is on an up
candle. I take that back. I don't want to use that example. That was actually that
weekly example that we used. Oh yeah, this one's hilarious. Look at this. Remember when I was
talking about this one on liquidity sweeps, the conspiracy theory, the little scary sickness?
Yeah, this one. This one was hilarious. Look what it made. What do we do? We come down. We sweep out these lows.
sweep out all these lows. When do we see a break of structure back to the upside? Right here.
Where's the move down that caused the sweep? Right here. We see the break to the upside right here. We see price
revisit. We see buying power out of it. Price continues higher. So freaking funny.
See if I can find any on the lower time frames. Cut harder to spot on the lower time
frame just because there's so many highs and lows. It's a bit harder to track. Okay, this
one's a decent one. All right, we had lows over here. Or we could even just say this low
right here. Okay, we see the leg down that caused the sweep. Boom.
We see the break of these highs with this candle. We see the the move down that caused
the sweep. We see price revisit it. We see buying pressure out of it. Price continues higher.
This was one. We see we were in an uptrend. We see these highs pushed above.
Then we see boom break structure to the downside. See the low right here. We see the
break. Where is the move up? That caused the sweep. We see price barely poke its head on in there.
Move down. Price continues lower. Okay. I think I've shown enough examples for us to understand this.
Okay. The easiest thing that you guys can do is just draw this out. Right? Boom. Boom. Boom. This is our order
block. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Right. This is the sweep. Okay, this right here is our order block.
Got it. Cool. Should have been pretty smooth. With that being said, I think we covered order blocks. If you
guys need help covering it again, re-watch this video, re-watch any of the other videos that I have on it, and
let's keep moving. Okay, good job. All right, guys. Welcome to another little video. So today we are going to be
talking about fair value gaps and per usual we are going to introduce these guys first by talking about what they
are and why they are beneficial to us. So without further ado value gaps slash imbalances.
Okay, you guys will hear me talk about both of these. It's pretty much the same [Â __Â ] I I really there's no reason for
me to use any different name for them. That's literally just how that [Â __Â ] goes. I end up just saying the names
like interchangeably. So whenever you hear fair value gap, whenever you hear imbalance, it's pretty much the same
[Â __Â ] Okay, so first of all, what are they? Okay, so the reason why I like to say imbalances is because it's an
imbalance of market orders. Okay. And okay, that's kind of as simple as I could put it. So,
it's an imbalance of market orders and it's a price range that lacks orders in the opposite direction of market
sentiment. So, when we go into identifying them, it'll be a lot more obvious where you guys will see what I'm
talking about, but for the time being, just try and understand this, okay? It's an imbalance of market orders, meaning
there's a lot more buy orders or there's a lot more sell orders than buy orders. There's a lot more buy orders than sell
orders and it's a price range again that lacks orders in the opposite direction of the market sentiment. So again, if we
see just like a huge influx in price and we make an imbalance, that price range typically lacks orders, right? So if we
see a bunch of buy orders and we see an imbalance get formed, that price range will typically lack a lot of sell
orders. Okay? Okay. And same thing if we see a big rip down. Okay.
If we see a big rip down that price range and we make an imbalance, that price range typically lacks buy orders.
Okay. So, why is this beneficial? This is going to be a quick one. Why is this beneficial to us?
Well, first of all, if we know, well,
let me just write it out first. Damn. Why is this beneficial to us? if price
revisits that price range. So again, let's say we see a big rip up and we see an imbalance get formed and we know that
that imbalance is lacking sell orders and we see price revisit that price range where there's a huge imbalance
where there's a lack of sell orders within there and we see price revisit that area and we see buying power out of
that range with the same market sentiment. Right? So if market ripped up, we see an imbalance, we revisit that
and then we see buying power out, right? That's the same sentiment with overall market bias or market direction. We can
assume that more buy orders were filled within there and price will be able to continue in the direction that it was
going because more buy orders were filled within that imbalance where a lack of sell orders were. Make sense?
And that's all it is. That's why it's beneficial to us. And this it helps us predict where the market wants to
continue to go. And you guys will see a lot more information on that when we talk about identifying them. Okay. But
for now, we just need to understand it. Okay. for value gaps whoa are an imbalance of market orders
and it's a price range that lacks orders in the opposite direction of market sentiment. And why is that
beneficial to us? Because when or if price revisits that price range with the lack of orders and then we see buying
power or selling power out of that range with the same market sentiment, right? Like either that rip up or that rip
down, we can assume that more orders were filled and price will continue in that direction that price was going. So
this is like a continuation confluence. Okay. and we'll see when we put everything together
how this can benefit us. Okay, this is a super super useful tool. Okay, now different than
liquidity, right? And this is something I should have mentioned about order blocks as well.
Liquidity can be used as a draw, as like a magnet for where price wants to go to, right? because it's seeking to fill
orders versus this and order blocks are continuation confluences. Meaning when we seek liquidity and we
fill orders, right, we're we're constantly seeking those highs and lows within the market
to keep filling orders to keep the market moving. versus these are just continuation
confluences meaning they don't necessarily have to get hit to keep market going in the
direction right that's how why I said if price revisits that price range
and we see buying and selling power out of it right because it's just the possibility most of the time does it
happen yeah but sometimes it won't happen okay this is just extra extra confluence that price is going to
continue in the direction that it was going in the first place. And I'll explain more on that when we get into
identifying these things. Okay? But for the time being, this is what I want you guys to
understand. It's an imbalance of market orders. It's either lacking buy orders or lacking sell orders depending on what
direction that big move up or down was. Okay. And if price revisits that price range where we saw the lack of buy or
sell orders and we see buying power or selling power out of that range, you know, depending on what the market
sentiment was, we can assume more orders were filled and price will continue in the direction that it was going. Cool.
Continuation confluence. Order block is also a continuation confluence. Um, something I forgot to mention. We'll go
ahead and cover that super quick right now. So, same thing, right? We know that boom, this leg up is the order block.
Does price have to does is price needing to come back up in here in this price range to fill those orders? No. But if
it does, and if we see selling power out of that, we can assume that more sell orders were filled and price is going to
continue in the direction to the downside. It's the same thing with imbalances and fair value gaps.
Okay, same thing to the downside or sorry to the upside. We see the sweep. This is the order block, right? This leg
down. Do we have to revisit this price range? No. Price could just move higher and higher and higher if
that liquidity sweep was all it needed. But if price revisits this area and if we see buying or selling power or in
this case buying power out of it, we can assume that price is going to continue higher.
Cool. Cool. Okay. So that being said, fair value gaps day one part one locked in, strapped up. We're good to go. All
right. Fair value gaps and imbalances. So we talked about what they are. We talked about why they're useful for us.
Okay, now let's get into identifying them. Okay, so what I want you guys to understand is a imbalance and a fair
value gap can be identified by three candlesticks. That's how how we identify it. It's a three candlestick pattern.
Okay, we're going to draw it out and then we're going to go into identifying them. Jeez, that was horrible. And then
we're going to go into identifying them on the chart. Okay.
So, I'm going to van Go these little drawings for you guys right now
and we're going to jump right in. So, a imbalance is a three candlestick pattern. Okay, so there's three candles
and the easiest way to identify it is usually it's a big ass move to the upside or a big ass move to the
downside. Okay. Does that always qualify it to be an imbalance? No, not necessarily. Sometimes there can be an
itsy-bitsy price range that an imbalance is within. Okay. But typically we can see it like the easiest by seeing that
there's a big ass move, right? Because when when we think back to how we identify them or what they even are,
there's an imbalance. There is a lack of either buy or sell orders. Okay, which is what causes that big ass
move to the upside or that big ass move to the downside because there's no orders going in the opposite direction
of where price wants to go, right? So, and again, if price revisits that area, then it can do good things for us and it
can help us figure out where price wants to go. So, with that being said, let's talk about
identifying it and then we'll get more into that. So, boom, three candlestick pattern. We have our first candle. Okay,
we have our second candle. This is the candle that pretty much creates the imbalance. And then we have our third
candle. Okay, how do we identify where an imbalances? Okay, a bullish fair value gap or a bullish imbalance,
we mark it up. We mark it out. We mark it out with the top of the first candle's wick.
Okay? and the bottom of the third candle's wick. This is a bullish imbalance.
Why is that? Well, if we look at these three candles, we can see, okay, this candlestick, ooh, one wick up, but then
boom, selling pressure down. So, we know that there's sell orders within here, right? We know that sell orders, price
got up here, and sell orders push price back down. And then the next candle, boom, big rip
through here. Okay, price stops right up here. Sell orders push it down. We close. Then we see this candle get
formed. We see sell orders push down till here. But then buy orders buy it back up.
What does this mean? This means that there were no sell orders within this price range, right? Because we don't see
any wicks going into this. If we did, right? If this candlestick, if this candlestick's wick went up here, then we
would know that there was there there were resting sell orders that were able one when price pushed up to be able to
push price back down and close right here. Same thing with this candle. If this candle's wick was even lower,
then we would know that, okay, price had sell orders to push all the way back down here.
Okay. So, when we identify this, we need to look where the wicks are not and we need to see that that move through it.
Okay. Where there's just empty space. It's literally a gap, fair value gap. Okay. Within here, there are no sell
orders. Now, let's talk about in the other direction.
Okay. I wish I could just flip this upside down. We'll do another Van Go for you guys. A bearish imbalance.
Boom. Huge leg down. A bearish imbalance. We identify it from the first candle's bottom wick to
the third candle's top wick. Okay? And it's just the opposite way around. Okay? Okay, so within this price
range, we know that there are no buy orders, right? Because we see sell orders pushing down and then right here,
there were buy orders that were able to push price back up here, which is what made us this wick, right? Because this
is where price has been. Okay, then we see boom, big rip down. We see it flood through this price because there's no
resting buy orders to cause any hesitation through this area. Next candle opens, we see price push up, but
there's no buy orders. If there were, then price probably would have kept pushing, but there's since there's no
buy orders within this price range, we got till here, stopped, and went back down.
Cool. Makes sense. Now again, how is this beneficial to us? Let's think back to yesterday. If price
revisits this area and then we see buying power out of it, we can safely assume that price is going
to continue in in that direction higher, right? Because we see, oh, there's a
lack of sell orders within here. And then when price gets back into this price range and then we see
buying orders or buying power get out of it, what can we assume? We can assume that more buy orders were filled within
here. And since there's a lack of sell orders, price is going to move higher. Same thing over here. When we see price
revisit a bearish fair value gap and we see sell orders and or we see selling power coming out
of it, we know that there's a lack of resting buy orders within here and we can see that okay, there's selling power
coming out. So, we know sell orders were filled. What does that mean? Price will likely
continue down in the same direction that it was going. Okay. Let's talk about what a fair value gap
is not because we could have a huge candlestick like this. But if this candle's wick is
up here and this candle's wick is down here, do we have a gap? Do we have an imbalance? No.
Right. It would be from this candle's top wick to this candle's down wick and oh wait that like our our box would be
inverted. Wait, what? What? It would be inverted. There's nothing there's no box to be
made on that. There's no gap. Okay. So, and if that's the case, there's nothing to even mark out.
Same thing over here. If we see this candlestick's wick go down here and this candlestick's wick go up here,
boom. Boom. There's no box to draw because these wicks overlap.
Okay, we need that gap and that lack of sell or buy orders. All right, now let's go into identifying it on the chart
and then I honestly think we'll just leave you guys with that for now. Okay, so again, this is one of those
things where there's going to be a lot of these on the chart, right? If we just look within here. Boom. Fair value gap
here. Boom. Fair value gap here. Boom. Fair value gap right here.
Boom. Fair value gap right here. Right? We could go on forever. Do these always have to get filled? No. Because if that
were the case and price would just be b like going nowhere. But are they useful for if price wants
to revisit that price range and we say see selling or buying power out of it? Is that a pretty decent confluence? Yes,
100%. Okay, so with that in mind, let's go ahead and try and identify some of these and
show it working out. Oh, this is a decent one. Okay, so again, I don't even want you guys to be trying to put [Â __Â ]
together like, oh, liquidity sweep, breakup structure, fair value gap, shut the [Â __Â ] up. Okay, let's not get into
that right now. Let's just get into what we're focusing on, and that's identifying fair value gaps. Okay, so
where is a fair value gap? This is a bearish fair value gap. again cuz the reason why like if you guys use
this and you're just like I'm just going to spot a random fair value gap everywhere
and take a trade off that you are going to be the worst trader of all time if you're only taking trades off of just
fair value gaps getting pushed into and then like buying or selling power out of it. Again, this is a continuation
confluence. Let's wait until we have our entire toolbox to start taking full-on trades. Okay, but we see boom, huge dick
down. Okay, massive black candle, bearish imbalance. Why? We see this candlestick wick. We see this
candlestick wick. There's a gap. We mark it out from the low to the high. What do we see price do? We see price
push in there. And then we see price boom, push right back out. Selling power out of it. price continues lower.
Let's look right here. Okay, we see a bullish fair value gap from this wick up to this wick. Okay, you're probably
saying, "Oh, well, this wick went down." Well, yeah, obviously it filled the freaking fair value gap.
Listen. Okay, we see price. Revisit it. Are you paying attention?
Didn't think so. Lock the [Â __Â ] in. Okay, we take it from this wick. We take it from the top wick of the first candle to
the bottom wick of the third candle. If prei if if price wants to revisit this area,
which it did, and we get buying power out of it, cool. We can assume that price is going to move higher. What did
price do? It revisited it. Revisited it. Got buying power out of it with this bullish close. And I'll talk about how
we can identify like more of like buying power after this. But boom, we see this bullish close. Price continues higher.
Okay. Um. Let's find more examples. They're literally all over the place right here.
Okay, we see boom, huge candle, right? That's like the easiest way to talk about them. We actually have two right
here. Okay, this just goes to show that not every single fair value gap is going to get filled.
You know, relate that to life however you want. Not every fair value gap is going to get filled.
You won't be able to fill every fair value gap, but you got to take your shots
when you're when you're open. Bullish fair value gap. Bullish fair value gap. Price
pushes in. We see bullish confirmation out of it or buying power out of it. Okay, price continues higher.
Same thing right here. Right? This is all I want you guys to do. just be [Â __Â ] quick scoping these freaking
fair value gaps. Okay, bullish fair value gap right here. Oh, what's this bullish fair value gap? How do I know?
There's not a freaking wick covering the [Â __Â ] up. Okay, you know what's not a fair value gap? Just all of these like
pubic hair looking wicks everywhere. We don't This is nothing that This is nothing that we're teaching today.
This is see these big ass gaps. Okay, this is a bearish for a value gap from
this wick down to here. From this wick down to here. You're probably saying,
"Well, TJR, it got filled and then we saw it go down." Because I know some of you guys are
saying that [Â __Â ] right now. What did we say? We're just trying to identify them, not learning how to take
a trade because right now the [Â __Â ] like if you guys just tried to take a trade off of fair value gaps, you
would lose billions every single day. You would lose all of your money ever.
Okay. So, let's lock in again. Right. Why didn't it work? Shut up. It's going to work later.
Just listen right now. Please. Please. Please. It's all I ask. Please listen right now. Okay. Do you guys get
the gist? You guys get this? Okay. Bullish fair value gap, three candle
pattern. You take it from the top of the first candle's wick to the bottom of the third candle's wick. And if the wicks
overlap, it's not even a thing. Bearish fair value gap. You take the bottom wick of the first candle
to the top wick of the third candle and if the wicks overlap, there's nothing to see. Cool. That's all we need to know.
All we need to know is how to identify the shits. We got it. It's a cool box. I have I have show and tell. Okay, go
make a bunch of cool boxes and go show your mom and dad and
clap it up for yourself. You learned another tool. All right. Today we're going to be going
over imbalances and how invalidations of them can either one invalidate a trade idea or two validate a new trade idea,
which is kind of like my take on a inverse fair value gap. I don't really believe in inverse fair value gaps, but
I do believe in a fair value gap getting invalidated as a confluence. So today's going to be pretty simple. You guys
already know about fair value gaps. Today we're going to be talking about invalidation of fair value gaps. How
that can invalidate a trade simply by a fair value gap literally just getting invalidated by a closure underneath it
or a closure above closure above it. And then we can also talk about how invalidations of fair value gaps can be
used to raise up baby ground. Okay, let me lock in. Um, okay. This is a good one right here. Again, this isn't
necessarily our execution time frame, but this is a good example of it right here. We get a sweep of liquidity. We
get a break of structure. Okay. And then we have a fair value gap right here. Okay. So, this can do one of a couple
things. We see this breakup structure right here, right? And then we see the fair value gap get formed. So, imagine
we're on like the 15-minute or the 5m minute and we're like, "Okay, bet. This is where we want to enter." Obviously,
if we get a closure above this, okay, maybe there's other confluences, okay? Like we have this breaker right here.
Okay, yes, it gets respected off of this, okay, and yes, we have this order block, and yes, it gets respected off of
this as well, but then boom, it gets invalidated afterwards, but we also invalidate this fair value
gap. Okay, so I mean, it's literally as simple as like it just closes above it. So that's
that's the first way, right? Just purely invalidation of a fair value gap. Boom. Right here. Okay. But let's say so
that's that's in the downside direction. Now let's say that our bias was bullish on this. Okay. So boom, there's
invalidation one where it's just like purely the fair value gap gets invalidated and we're no longer going to
take a trade off of it. That's the one use of it where we literally just get a closure of above it and then it's like,
"Okay, scrap that fair value gap. It's not working for us." Okay. And then the second use is where we can potentially
use it for a confluence for entry. Okay. So, and again, I'm not that big of a fan of like inverse fair value gaps where
you have to wait for it to come back down in and like get it tapped into. I'm more of a fan of it just like a bearish
fair for a value gap getting invalidated when our bias is bullish and we close above it invalidating that bearish for
value gap. So let's say that our bias was bullish and we see [Â __Â ] it. Let's see like we sweep out
these hourly lows. We sweep out these hourly lows and let's say like we already have a bunch of confluences. We
break structure and there's a bearish fair value gap right here. Imagine we already broke hourly structure within
here. Let's say there there's like a breakup structure right here, okay? And we're looking for confluences. We
can use an invalidation of a bearish fair value gap um as a bullish confluence. Okay? So
let's say we already have our breakup structure and then boom, we get a closure above here. That can be a reason
for entry. So again, let's say we already have our breakup structure. This can be a reason for entry and we can
even put our stops underneath that bearish that old bearish fair value gap because again it could be used for a
inverse fair value gap even though I'm like in my eyes an inverse fair value gap is a pretty madeup concept. It's
like bro like you can see that this fair value gap gets invalidated and then what happens another fair value gap gets
formed. Duh. Uh but that's besides the point. We can use this invalidation of the old bearish for value gap as a
confluence to one either enter or as just like a confluence for a potential trade setup. So just like how we have
regular fair value gaps, just like we have breaker blocks, just like how we have order blocks, just like how we have
equilibrium, this is another confluence that we can use to either enter into a trade or to set up a trade. So in this
standpoint, let's say that we're actually looking for a trade. We can say that um okay, this is another
good example. Okay, look, let's say we were bullish. We see a sweep of this and then let's say we're like actually
looking for a trade setup. Okay, we get a break of hourly structure and let's say we're just dumb asses and we don't
see this regular ass fair value gap and we're like oh we have this bearish fair value fair value gap right here and
let's say we don't see this break of structure. Okay, all of this is just hypothetical and we see a closure above
this bearish for value gap. Okay, showing that this bearish for value gap is now invalidated. That can be a reason
to go long on this candle. Put your stops underneath the old bearish for value gap and then boom, price continues
higher. Okay. Um, let's find another example of this. And again, obviously, we need it just be
like, oh, be bearish fair value gap gets to sell. This is a perfect example of when this [Â __Â ] wouldn't work because
look, okay, we get a break of structure to the downside right here. Damn. Shut the [Â __Â ]
up. Can y'all not tell I'm making a [Â __Â ] YouTube video?
Come on, guys. Pipe down. Anyways, but look, like we can tell that this is an obvious bearish setup, right? We see a
sweep of liquidity. We see a break of structure. We see an order block right here. We see a breaker block right here.
And we see price push into that order block. Push into that breaker block. Just because we invalidate this bearish
for doesn't mean like, holy [Â __Â ] we're going to go bullish, right? Because this is an obvious bearish setup. So again,
just like all of our other confluences, it's not like, oh, C order block take trade or C fair value gap take trade,
right? That's not going to work. We need all of our other confluences to be in line with it. like a sweep of liquidity,
a break of structure, all of that, right? So, this is an example where that [Â __Â ] wouldn't fly. That [Â __Â ] wouldn't
work because again, we're still in a downtrend and we pushed into just another one of our confluences. We're
still within equilibrium, all that. Okay, so let's just keep drilling this [Â __Â ] out and show other examples of
where this [Â __Â ] would work. Um, let's get down to business. I need to take a piss so bad.
I got to take a pee peee. Really not much going on. Let's go over here. I got to pee so bad, bro. Boys, I
literally might pause this video and then go take a piss. Or I might just take you guys with me. Um
E e o. Okay, so this is an example of where like
we get kind of two in one. Okay, so we see a sweep of these lows. Okay, and we kind of get two confluences in one. Like
I was saying, we get a sweep of these lows. We get a break of structure to the upside. And in turn with that break of
structure to the upside we invalidate this bearish fair value gap and at the same time we make a bullish fair value
gap. Both end up getting filled. So and this order block ends up getting filled and then as we can see boom price ends
up moving higher. Okay. Um, this can be another example here
where we get a sweep out of these lows. Okay, we get a break of structure right here, invalidation of this fair value
gap. Um, and then we end up taking out these highs right here. Okay, so boom, we get a break of structure to the
upside on this candle. You know, maybe you find some [Â __Â ] within here, but okay, we invalidate this fair value gap.
We end up seeking out this liquidity right here and this liquidity right here. Man, I gotta take this.
Boys, I'm literally in a swimsuit. I might as well just go pee right now. I have bubble guts, bro.
Be normal. I got to be damn whole bunch of Choa City in this [Â __Â ]
here. Let me go into like a market open. I wonder if today's market open. I heard that since it's since I'm in Hawaii. Um,
[Â __Â ] Did I remove all the drawings? Damn it. I got a B, bro. Here, let's go to ES. I
heard that today's market open was pretty shitty cuz I was watching more trades Tik Tok.
Um, just kidding. But seriously. Okay, so let's go into the hourly. Okay, there
really wasn't [Â __Â ] [Â __Â ] today, but let's just Okay. Oh, here. Look. Okay, so today we sweep
out again. Is this a trade that I would take? Probably not. Um, but whatever. It's a good example. Today we get a
sweep out of these lows. Okay. And we have a bearish for value gap right here. We see price boom close
above that [Â __Â ] Scale down even further. See, we get a closure above. We come back down, retest that inverse fair
value gap. But in turn, there's a bunch of other confluences here. Okay? Okay, like we just have um a regular ass like
smaller bullish for value gap from this wick to this wick. Um you could have used equilibrium. I'm pretty sure
equilibrium got hit. I'm literally about to pee my pants, boys.
Yeah. So, boom. We can see that equilibrium got hit. Inverse for value gap got hit. Um you could probably scale
down into the one minute. Um find a break of structure to the upside. Boom. Cool. Enter right here. take profit, you
know, find some sort of confluence over here. Um, wow, boys, I'm suffering. Um, find some
sort of take profit based off this. I'm going to find a way to pause this. Okay. Wow. I can't even pause it. Holy [Â __Â ]
All right. Okay. Well, okay. Um, here. Okay.
Okay. Um, okay. Whatever. But anyways, you guys see this? This was a 15-minute bearish for
value gap. We get a closure above that. We retest it and then boom, price moves higher. We take out these highs. Cool,
cool, cool. Could have taken like a small little like one two [Â __Â ] I don't know if you enter right here, take
profit right here. I don't know. You might have gotten like one to one riskreward on that if you're entering
off the one minute time frame. I'm fighting for my life. Okay, [Â __Â ] it. This is going to be really weird. I
might take you guys with me. I hope no one steals my [Â __Â ] Okay, [Â __Â ] it. Let's go. Goyard backpack with like
150k worth of watches just sitting out in the open. Let's rally. I hope they don't find this sus. I'm
just going to act like I'm on a business meeting with you guys. This is so weird. Me walking into the bathroom.
But yeah, guys, um, print out the balance sheet, Damian. I'm
sick and tired of this [Â __Â ] Damian, you have to print that [Â __Â ] out. And if you don't, you're fired.
Sorry, I had to act professional. This is so weird. Okay, I'm going to kind of hide you guys.
Stay calm. Oh wow. If you're asking if I wash my hands, the
answer is no. You know why? Cuz if you touch your penis when you go pee, like what? Like it's a urinal for a
reason. Let that [Â __Â ] spray. You know, like I'm literally just ripping my shorts down and just unloading the clip.
Wow. All right, that was a risky play, boys. Anyways, goyard bag still here. Locked and loaded.
Okay, so let's lock back in. Anyways, wow, I feel so much better. I can actually focus. Okay, let's go to NQ.
See if we have an example of this. Wow, boys. I can literally like breathe again.
Okay, we don't have the invalidation until all the way up here. Okay, let's try and find
more examples of this. Wow, I feel so much better, guys. Infinitely better off this [Â __Â ]
Let's go to like the five minute some [Â __Â ] like that. >> Oh, here we go. Okay,
right here. Okay, I mean just this leg down. I'm assuming that this was like a big ass sweep of
liquidity. There we go. Okay, we swept out all these lows. I'm pretty sure this was on like CPI or some high impact news
day if I remember correctly. That was so crazy. I can't believe you guys went pee with me. Anyways, we come
down downstairs. We sweep this out. Okay, from here, when do we get the invalidation of the fair value gap?
Right here, we don't necessarily get a break of structure, but okay, this can be one of our confluences. Okay, we come
back down into this fair value gap. Um, again, or into this inverse fair value gap again. What other confluences are we
hitting? Um, we're hitting equilibrium off the back end. Boom. Damn. Chill, Jamal.
Boom. Okay, we hit equilibrium and then we get a breakout structure right here. Bet. Price ends up
moving higher. Okay, that's pretty much all that it is. Okay, I'm not necessarily a huge fan of using
inverse fair value gaps like getting tapped back into as like a confluence to take a trade off of, but I am a fan of
seeing fair value gaps getting invalidated and taking trades based off of that. Okay.
So, I'm again like, yeah, you get better entries by price coming back down and like retracing into it, but we already
have so many other confluences where like I bet if we go into the one minute on that [Â __Â ] Damn. Come on, guys.
If we go into the one minute, I'm sure we can find something, right? Like, boom. Huge one minute for value gap
within here. Okay. Breaker structure right here. Bet. like long John Silver off of that, you know, take profits
OTDub. Okay. Um, okay. This is like another example of
this. I mean, one minute fair value gap. There's a [Â __Â ] ton of like bearish one minute fair value gaps within here.
Okay. It gets invalidated. We come down. We fill. My guess is we hit equilibrium off the back end on this piece. Boom. We
come down. Fill equilibrium. Bullish reaction up. Okay. It's like they're building the [Â __Â ]
great pyramids of Giza out here. Like hauling twoton [Â __Â ] rocks in wheelbarrows right next to my [Â __Â ]
Anyways, we invalidate this bearish for value gap. We get a closure above. Cool. Confluence one. Confluence two. We
already had a breakup structure. Okay. And then boom, we come down into equilibrium. We get a bullish reaction
out of that. Cool. You can long off that. Stops under our invalidation point, which would have been off of
equilibrium. Or [Â __Â ] it. You can put it underneath this fair this bearish for val the last
bearish for value gap that was all the way down here that got invalidated. Whatever you guys want to do. But this
is just another confluence that I said I wanted to make a video on because I use it use it occasionally kind of as like a
supporting confluence and also sometimes occasionally as an entry confluence. So there we go. Not really much else to say
on this. Again, this is a good example. Okay, we push up, invalidate the sphere value gap. We come back into it, scale
into the fiveminute, see if there's anything juicy within here. H, not really. We sweep out these fiveminute
lows. We can see if we're getting a on the one minute. Um, but yeah,
there's inverse fair value gaps explained slash invalidation of fair value gaps explained. for one, we
already know like if a fair value gap gets invalidated within our trade bias, cool. It just is invalidated, we're no
longer using it as a confluence. And if we see a fair value gap in the opposite direction of our bias and it
gets invalidated, we can use it as a confluence. and we're gonna teach you guys something that I've been using for
honestly the past bro I don't even I can't even remember how long it's been. And again, y'all are going to clown me
because I thought I found out this [Â __Â ] on my own. And turns out it's a [Â __Â ] ICT concept.
But I'm going to and again, I haven't seen ICT's [Â __Â ] video on this. So if I'm explaining it wrong, I'm not trying
to explain it the way that he explains it. I'm going to explain it how I understand the [Â __Â ] for what it is.
Cool. Cool. So today we're going to be talking about something that ICT calls a BPR, which
honestly is like a He lo Bro, he's nasty with those threeletter [Â __Â ] change ups that he just pops in
there. Oh yeah, that FVG me ICT you BPR.
You know what that means? Baroque [Â __Â ] syndrome. I don't [Â __Â ] know. But anyways, this is combining
pretty much inverse fair value gap along with fair value gaps to just pretty much encapsulate a imbalanced price range. So
before we even show this on the charts, I kind of want to give you guys an idea of what this would be. So let's say um
we have a violent move. Damn, bro. Already lagging out. We have a violent move up and we form like a bullish
imbalance right here. And then we have like some movement over here and then we see price boom get another violent move
down and we form boom a bearish imbalance here. That's like or here. I'll make it a
little bit less like [Â __Â ] crazy. Bearish imbalance right here. Okay. And we see boom. This is
imbalanced price action and this is imbalanced price action. When we see a bullish imbalance get formed and then
disrespected along with once it gets disrespected seeing a bearish imbalance form or overlap with that bullish
imbalance we can safely assume sorry I didn't even realize the microphone was just moaning in your ear. Um
but we can safely assume and say like hey imbalanced price range imbalanced price range. This whole price range
right here is imbalanced. So what can we expect if price comes back up in this [Â __Â ] and we start seeing downward
movement? It's going to continue lower. Is it something [Â __Â ] special? No. Is it something that
is even necessary? Not really, but it's just another confluence, you know, and this is something that I've been
mentioning a lot in a lot of my trade recap. And yeah, it's pretty much just two fair value gaps that overlap in the
opposite direction, showing us a just a super solid, super awesome imbalance price range that price will more than
likely want to come back and balance out. Cool. So, let's show this in action on the chart.
Okay. Yeah. So, like this is a perfect example right here. So, right here, right, we see this
boom violent candle to the upside. And and mainly for these guys, we're not [Â __Â ]
on Footfinder like trying to zoom all the way the [Â __Â ] in and catch the toes of like an itsybitsy spider fair value
gap. Okay, we're not trying to do that. We're looking for like the dicksiz
candlesticks. You know what I'm saying? Barry Woods on this guy. All right. Um, you know, this is TJR. This is like
Giannis. All right. So, we see this bullish imbalance right here, right? We see it gets tapped into whatever. That's
not even what we're talking about. And then we see boom, price like little Uzi Vert, flooded the face.
Now, we have this big ass bearish imbalance right here. Right. You see the part where the bearish imbalance and the
bullish imbalance overlap? Yeah. That's the part that we want to boom identify.
And that's what our BPR is. It's pretty much saying, hey, from here up to here, that's our really high quality imbalance
price range because we see two fair value gaps that got formed, right? But what is the actual imbalance price
range? It's where they over overlapped because we can see on this price got balanced out down to this wick
and down to here. Price got balanced out down to this wick essentially
because we see price flood all the way through there. And as we're pushing back up through here, it also gets balanced
out. This was also a news candle. Okay, but we can see that this works perfectly right here, right? We obviously get a
little leg up and then boom, consolidation. But we can see the tippity top is boom,
where these two fair value gaps overlap. Okay, let's uh find another example to show this off. Let's uh go down into
the smaller time frames. And you're probably asking, how do you use this? I'm not necessarily looking at these on
a high time frame. Again, we can apply any of these confluences whenever the [Â __Â ] we want on whatever
time frame, but most of the time when I'm using this, it's more so during entries. So, how about we scale down to
like a actual area where it would be beneficial?
Okay. So, let's see if we can see anything going on in here. Okay. Yeah, this is a great example
right here. Boom. So, right here we see, okay, dick candles up, dick candles down. Again, in
comparison to the 4hour chart and those news candles, it's nothing too special, but it's it's at least something. Okay,
we see right here, this is the bullish imbalance. Damn. I don't even know if that hit. Oh,
it didn't hit it. We have this one as well though. Okay, so we have this bullish imbalance,
this bullish imbalance. Both of them get invalidated after this candlestick. And then we have this bearish imbalance
right here. Honestly, we can go ahead and leave both of these babies on here,
okay? because they both overlap this. We could honestly just like bring this one up so it's just the sliver
right there. Okay. But we can see price pushes back into where the bearish imbalance overlaps the bullish imbalance
and it barely misses this top one right here. And then price continues down. And again, what's the difference between
using this and a fair value gap? Again, it's not much, right? We very well could have just used this bearish imbalance,
but it's higher confluence because we can see, hey, this is a much, I guess, higher attracted area where price is
going to want to fill its imbalance because not only do we have a bearish imbalance, but we had a previous bullish
imbalance and price is still moving swiftly through that area. So, we when we move swiftly through it to the
upside, we're like, "Okay, cool." But then when we move through it swiftly to the downside, it's like, okay, this
whole area right here, sorry, I realized the microphone was still up a little bit too high.
This whole area right here is still imbalance and price is going to want to come come back through and balance that
out. Um, let's try and find another example of this. Friday's price action was pretty shitty,
but we can still uh we can still kind of show this right here. Even though this wouldn't
necessarily have gone out in our gone in our direction. Again, we're trying to use this for entries,
assuming that there is an entry within here. I just kind of want to go over how we can identify these things. So, right
here, again, similar situation. We have a bullish imbalance right here. Turn this thing off.
bullish imbalance right here. We have another one right here. These the bullish and the bearish
imbalance right here are pretty much dead [Â __Â ] even. And then we have another bearish imbalance
right here. Okay, we can leave this here. We can shrink this guy up to where it overlaps.
Boom. And then we just have a more centralized area where price is likely going to react off. awful. Again,
this is whatever speculative because don't even know the bias going
into the day. Um, but yeah. Oh, this is like a decent example. Let's see if we can go in on the fivem minute here. Oh,
damn. Wait, did I completely remove? Okay, so on the fivem minute here, we have this bullish imbalance or sorry,
bearish imbalance. This bullish imbalance. Boom. shrink this down.
Boom. We can see that this is like just [Â __Â ] optimal range, right? We see swift move through. Swift move through.
Also beneficial that we see a lot of consolidation again. We have
liquidity sweeper. Okay. But boom, we can see price comes back down into this area. ripper.
Okay, let's show some more examples on higher time frames. Let's see here. Might be difficult on
the daily. Let's go on the 4 hour here. See if I can see any obvious ones off
rib. This is a good one. Okay. So, right here
we have boom super swift move up. Right here super swift move down. We can boom.
Shrink that up to where they overlap. Mink boom. This is our high quality imbalance price range.
Okay, let's see. This is another one right here. We can see Swift moves up, Swift moves down.
There's a whole bunch of fair value gaps within here. This bullish one,
this bearish one, and this bull, this bearish one doesn't fit with the bullish one. So, we can
actually just leave this right here because the bullish one fully encapsulates that. So, that's the one
that we want to be targeting. Boom. Price bops its head into it. Flush work. But, as you guys can see, the these
things are like all over the place. Similar example right here. Bullish
and a bearish. Boom. Okay, we have big flush up, big flush
down. shrink this bad boy. So, it's a line. Okay. Price pushes up into it. Flood of the face to the downside. And
again, keep in mind, this is going to be used with bias in mind. This is going to be
used with finding the optimal price range on like the 15 minute to 5 minute time frame to look for entry, right?
We're looking for like liquidity sweep. Then we're looking for break of structure. And then when we are able to
scale down to the lower time frame, like our execution time frame, that's when we can use these to our advantage. Is this
something that's like make or [Â __Â ] break? We need to use this in our trade. No. But is this something beneficial
that you can use as extra confluence? like, hey, there's a fair value gap right here, and there's also a fair
value gap right here, and I don't know which one I should choose because right now it's in this one. And it looks like
it's going to go down, but it might come up to this one. And we also see a big ass bullish imbalance that's like right
here. Boom. Shrink work. Delete. Delete. This is the most like this is the most likely area that price is going to be
looking to fill. Why? Because there was a bullish imbalance along with a bearish imbalance. This is the most This is the
most imbalanced price range. Cool. Cool. Hello, lover boy slime ball. Back door slat.
What is happening? Is my [Â __Â ] crooked? Does my [Â __Â ] look crooked to you guys? Hold on.
[Applause] Bro, why is it crooked? Technical difficulties. Anyways, we are in the
Miami setup. The view is nice. Look at the view, guys. Look at my view.
This is what I see out of when I'm looking at you guys. It's pretty sexy. But regardless, we are going to get into
probably the easiest concept ever in the entire world today called equilibrium. Okay. So, we have covered liquidity
sweeps or just liquidity. We have covered breakup structure. We've covered order blocks. We've covered fair value
gaps. Now, we're getting to equilibrium. And then we'll also get into breaker blocks. And then from there, we can boom
boom boom boom boom boom put it all together and then make you guys actually learn the strategy that I've been
talking about for [Â __Â ] ever now or really just the past month and you guys have been feing for it. So without
further ado, let's get into equilibrium. Let's make this nice and quick because it's pretty [Â __Â ] easy. Okay, so
equilibrium. Okay, we'll talk about what is it, why it's beneficial to us, and why we would
potentially want to use it. Okay, so what is it? It measures the point.
[Applause] So it measures the point from swing high to swing low or vice versa.
[Applause] Oops. Damn. Come on. I feel like I'm typing on
a typewriter. Um, boom. Okay, so equilibrium measures the
point from swing high down to swing low or vice versa. So swing lot swing low to swing high where price is in a premium
or a discount. Okay, so it measures the it measures premium and discount from swing low to swing high or swing high to
swing low just depending on what trend it's in. Okay. And we'll get into that later tomorrow or the next day talking
about how to how to identify this. But this is what we know. Equilibrium helps us identify
premium and a discount. Now, let's break this down. Let's figure out how is this beneficial to us. Also, sorry, it sounds
like I'm talking in a echo chamber. [Applause] [Music]
What were we even talking about? Right? The reason why this is beneficial to us, let's put this in human terms, okay?
When you guys go to the grocery store, imagine the most delicious, the most delectable, your favorite food on earth.
You go to the grocery store and it's 50% off. Are you going to buy it? Yeah. You're
probably slamming your card down and buying it 10 times. Okay. On the contrary, if you guys go to
the grocery store and that same item is 2x the price, you're probably not as maybe you buy it,
but you're probably not as willing to buy it, right? That's essentially what equil
equilibrium is because we think about the banks, the market makers, they want the best price possible. They are
looking to buy in a discount rather than a premium. Okay. So that's what equilibrium does for us. it. Yeah.
[Applause] It identifies a premium and a discounted price and because of this it's a
continuation confluence. Okay. So, oops. It's a continuation confluence. Okay. So, right, are we going to be able to
identify where price is going to reverse based off equilibrium? Well, no. But if we think about this is kind of getting
into identifying it. But if we think about higher highs and higher lows, if we see, oh, right within here is a
discounted price, it's more than likely if we see buying power out of that, price is going to continue up,
right? So, there's a little hint going into tomorrow or whenever I film the next video, okay? But it helps us
identify premium and discounted price. And because of this, it's beneficial for us because when we're able to identify
that premium price, if we see price like barely dip down into a premium and then continue higher, we can say, okay, that
probably wasn't the best time to enter. Versus if we see price dip down into a discounted price and we see strong
buying pressure out of it or buying confluences out of it, then we can say, okay, yeah, that would make sense.
This paired with another confluence, this paired with like a fair value gap, an order block. Okay, a breaker block
that we'll get into later. This paired with that, it would make sense that there's buying
power or selling power out of this equilibrium or this discounted price because it was on discount and because
we're able to buy it at a cheaper price. Cool. Okay, so super easy day today talking about equilibrium, finding
premium versus discounted price from a swing high to a swing low or a swing low to a swing high. All right, that being
said, see you guys tomorrow. As you guys know, we talked about equilibrium yesterday. Uh talked about what it is,
how it helps us. So today we're going to talk about literally the easiest confluence ever to be able to identify.
So this should be relatively quick. And again, I'm not teaching how you teaching you guys how to enter yet. We're super
close. Next up is breakers. And then after that, we can put everything together. And I can spend like hours
showing you guys how to put stuff together. Okay? But for now, we're talking about equilibrium and how to
identify it on the chart. So, like I was saying yesterday, we identify it with a swing from a swing low to a swing high
or from a swing high. Swing high. Swing high down to a swing low. Okay. God. Okay. Wow.
I am sorry. Moving forward, we identify it from a swing low to a swing high within an uptrend. Within a downtrend,
we take it from the swing high down to the swing low. And you're probably asking,
"Oh, you um the the handsome boy in the front." No, no, not the one that I'm pointing
at. That one. Um what, mister? What's a swing high? What's a swing low?
I'm going to tell you, it's literally just the higher high and the higher low within the uptrend. So if
we think about beautiful the best uptrend I've ever drawn in my driven in my drove in my
entire life lives in an uptrend we take it from the low up to the high. Okay. So, we want to be
able to find the discounted price, right? Because we know that equilibrium is identifying premium price
and discounted price. And why is that beneficial to us? Because if we see price go into a discount and then within
an uptrend, if we see buying power come out of that discount, we can assume, okay, buy orders were filled because it
was at a discounted price and price is going to continue higher. Okay. Wow, that was so hard.
That was so smart. Okay, now how do we identify this? I use the GAN box. Okay, and it's literally identified by
the 50% mark or the halfway point from the swing low to the swing high. Okay, so we take it from the low and just drag
it boom up to the high. And as we can see, my perfectly driven drone drone drawn
down uptrend dipped perfectly into our discounted price which is underneath here, right?
Because anything up here would be premium and anything down here is a discount.
Everything up here is a premium. Why? because it's higher prices and we're in an uptrend and we're looking to buy. So
when as price goes lower, it's cheaper for us to buy. Okay? So everything underneath the halfway
point from the swing low to the swing high is going to be a discount. Okay? We see price come into the discount. We see
buying power come out. Price continues higher. Okay? Boom. Let's do it again. From the low to
the high, we see price boom come down again. Perfectly drawn uptrend. We come right into the discount. We see buying
power come out. Price goes higher. Last time on our beautifully drawn uptrend. Okay, we take it from the low up to the
high. Price again perfectly comes into our discounted price range. We see buying power come out. Price
continues higher. Okay, now let's talk about it in a downtrend. Let's see if I can drive this one as good as I drove
the other one. It's already worse. Let's try again.
It's already really bad. It's really bad. It's That's as good as it's going to
get. Wow. Okay, that's better. Okay. In a downtrend, we take it from the
swing high. It's literally just the inverse, the swing high down to the swing low. Okay. So, boom.
We have our gan box here. You guys want to see my settings on this? This is what I have my settings at. Take a
screenshot. Take a picture. You got your pictures? Cool. Okay,
we take our GAN box from the swing high down to the swing low. Perfectly driven downtrend.
We see price boom from high down to the low. We see price we see price get into the discounted
price range which is now this above area. And this is the premium, right? Because we're trying to short it. So, we
want to short at a higher price and buy it back at a lower price. Okay? So, boom.
We see price get into that discounted price range. We see selling power come through and push it lower. Price
continues in that direction. Okay. Let's keep doing this and then we'll start going into how to identify it on actual
real time. Okay, moving forward. Okay, swing high down to swing low. Price pushes up into the discount discounted
price range. We see selling power push out. Price continues lower. Okay, one more time. Swing high down to the swing
low. We see price push into the discounted price range. We see selling power come
out. Price continues lower. Okay. And again, this is similar to fair value gaps, similar to order blocks. It
is a continuation confluence. So, does price require this to happen to move when we're within a trend? Does price
have to go into that discount? No. But if it does, it's a higher confluence for us to assume that price is going to
continue higher. So if we look at this as like an uptrend, we see boom, this is the high. This is the low. Okay? And
then from here, we want it here. We see this is the low. Okay? Cuz we take it from swing low to swing high. And then
we see this high get made. There's going to be times where you see like a little pip squeak of a low get made. And you're
probably thinking, "Hey, it never came underneath equilibrium. And that's okay because sometimes the
market moves and doesn't hit our confluences and you just have to accept that. Okay.
But for the next swing low to swing high, we can see, oh, it did go into a discount and we did see buying power out
of it. So price is probably going to continue higher. Okay? And that's how we have to treat it. Okay? So now let's do
this super simply, super duper easy. You will find examples of this within every single time frame and every single
trend. Okay? And we'll just go and show how this works. So boom, we're in a
downtrend. How do we know that? Move down, then a move up. We find the lowest point of those two candles right here.
We see breaker structure to the downside. Cool. We're in a downtrend. We take it from the swing high. Move up.
Move down. Highest point of those those two candles to the swing low. Move down. Then a move up. We take it to the lowest
point of those two candles. Okay. Let me just extend this. Oops. Okay, what do we see? We see price
push up into a discounted price point. We see selling power come out. Price moves lower.
Okay, same thing. Swing high down to swing low. We see price push on up in there, right? We see the move up.
Then we see price continue lower. Okay, now we get a break of structure to the upside. Now we're in an uptrend.
Okay, we take a swing low to the swing high. We see price boom come into the discounted price range, buying power
out. Price continues higher. Let's go into a smaller time frame and identify this.
And again, it's not going to happen every single time. Let's do this on like the weekly
actually. Okay, we get a breaking structure to the upside right here. Boom. We're in an
uptrend. Take it from the swing low, move down, then a move up. Boom. To the swing high, move up, then a move down.
Boom. We see price poke into the discount. Buying power out. Price continues higher.
Okay, let's try and find another example of this. Um, right here we're in a
downtrend. We break structure to the downside, swing high,
down to swing low. We see price boom, push up into equilibrium, selling power out of it. Price continues lower for a
bit. Okay. And this is all it is. is just helping us
when price is retracing down. It just helps us say, "Hey, if it it's the same thing with order blocks. It's the same
thing with fair value gaps. It's the same thing with breaker blocks. It's the same thing with equilibrium. What do
these continuation confluences help us? They help us identify areas where if we see buying power or selling power out of
them that if those if if those areas get hit and we see buying power and selling
power out of them, then we can safely assume that those were good confluences that more orders were filled and price
is going to continue in the direction that it wanted to go in. versus something like this if it's in like an
uptrend like I don't freaking know something like that right like and let's say there's no
fair value gaps no order blocks and it's just like the tiniest little moves down right like we probably don't want to be
entering on that when do we want to be entering when we know the market is filling more orders and we know that
it's a high probability area where more orders can have the possibility to be filled and then we
wait for confluences out of those high probability areas. What are our high probability areas? Order blocks, breaker
blocks, fair value gaps, and equilibrium. And all that we're doing with those is
identifying them on the chart when price retraces. And if it goes into those price ranges and we see buying power or
selling power out of it, depending on the trend, we can safely assume that price is going to likely continue in the
direction that it was going. Cool. Cool. Awesome. That wraps up equilibrium part two. We have breaker blocks
and then it's time to get serious and then we're going to start putting things together. All right, boys. I appreciate
you guys. We'll see you guys in the next one. we will get this up and active. All right,
breaker blocks. Let's get started. We're talking about breaker blocks. Okay, so similar with all the other
concepts, we're just going to type this [Â __Â ] out and Okay, fine. Blocking. Jeez, bro. Y'all
get me way too into this [Â __Â ] Okay, breaker block. Come on, bro. Oh, I literally almost just yelled. I'm
demonetized anyways. I might as well say it. Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm not going to say it. Jeez. Okay, let's not say it.
Never mind. It's National Women's Month anyways. Wait, we don't care about that anyways. Okay,
breaker blocks. Let's lock. Okay, I'm just kidding. Okay, lock in. Breaker blocks.
What is it? So, breaker blocks, a lot of people describe breaker blocks as failed order blocks,
but that's also because a lot of people teach order blocks differently. Okay, so essentially what a failed order block,
let's let's rewind this. I don't even want you guys to see this and be like, "Oh, we're looking for failed order
blocks." No, it's not the case. Okay. All I want you guys to look at it as I wanted to explain that before we wa
I'm not looking as orange anymore. But everybody describes it as a failed order block. I only consider order blocks the
initial the initial move up that sweeps liquidity. But a lot
of people will identify order blocks as every single move up. So they consider this an order block,
they can consider this an order block. Okay? And what happens with this
is when we get Okay, rewind that. Boom. When we get the breaker structure to the
upside, they pretty much say, "Okay, this this is now a failed order block." So when price revisits it, it's called a
breaker. Okay, so hopefully that helps you guys understand it a little bit more. Again, when we go into identifying
them, I'll show you guys a lot better, but that's what I wanted to to show you guys. It's essentially a a leg up or
where orders a price range where orders could have potentially have been filled within the initial trend direction but
price broke structure. Okay, switch market shift shifted directions. Okay. So, it turned into a
price range where orders could have been filled in the
initial direction of the overall trend wasn't able to. And when price revisits it, orders are going to be able to be
filled there within that direction to the upside because it was failed.
So, we know that there's no longer any more sellside orders in this in this case, this bullish breaker block. We
know that there's no more sell orders within this price range. Does that make sense? Because before,
again, with that idea that every single move up within a downtrend is an order block, which I don't
consider, okay, but let's say that every single retracement, they consider that an order block. And again, I don't want
you guys to get this confused, but let's just call it retracements. Within these retracements, we see that
more sell orders get filled, right? But what happens when price pushes all the way through that? This price range no
longer has any sell orders to offer. So, if price revisits it, it's super similar to a fair value gap where there's a lack
of sell orders within here. So, if we see buying pressure out of it, price will continue higher.
Boom. Crazy. Okay, so let's show it another direction as well. Sorry, I just had to do that. Okay,
within an uptrend. Oops. Ah, usually uptrends are my best. Boom.
Okay. So again, within an uptrend, they consider all those down moves order blocks, but we'll just call them
retracements because it makes it a little bit simpler for us. So within these retracements, right, we know that
more buy orders are able to get filled within these price ranges, right? More buy orders were able to get filled,
price went higher. More buy orders were able to get filled, price went higher. So when price ends up breaking
structure, when these price ranges end up not being able to offer enough more buy orders to
get filled and we see price revisit it and we know that hey there's a lack of buy orders within here and we see
selling power out of it, we can assume that price is going to continue lower and that's all that breaker blocks are.
Okay. So, it was Oops. No. Damn it. I went back too far. So, all that breaker blocks are
a retracement [Applause] followed
by a break [Applause] followed by a breaking structure.
obviously opposite of the current trend. [Applause]
It's a retracement followed by a breakup structure. Wow, horrible at spelling. opposite of the current trend
which then makes that price range lack
buy slash sell or depending on previous
trend. Okay, so it's a retracement followed by a breakup structure opposite of the
current trend which then makes that price range that was the retracement price range
retracement lack buy/sell orders again depending on the previous trend. So that's what it
is. And well, how is that beneficial to us? [Applause]
If price revisits that area, we can assume that if there is selling
slash buying pressure out of it, price will continue in that
direction due to the lack of orders from the previous trend.
Okay. So why is it useful to us? If price revisits that area, we can assume that if there was if there is buying and
selling pressure out of that price range, price will continue into that direction due to the lack of orders from
the previous trend that was just broken. Right? So, the visual was honestly like the best way for me to explain that,
right? We're in in a trend, right? And each each retracement kind of serves as like a little price range.
Oops, sorry. Each retracement kind of serves as a price range where more potential orders
could be filled. And if we break past that price range, we can assume that there's a lack
of in this case sell orders within here. So again, similar to fair value gaps, if we see price reach into here and then we
see buying pressure out of that within a price range where there's a lack of sell orders, we can assume that price is
going to continue higher. Boom. Breaker blocks explained part one. I will see you guys in part two. Uh we
already explained breaker blocks, talked about how they're useful to us. Today we're going to get into identifying
them. Okay, so this should be relatively easy. We're just going to draw these [Â __Â ] out and then we are going to go
ahead and identify them on the chart. And again, why are they useful to us? Because there's a lack of orders going
in the opposite direction, right? So we have Oops. Okay. So if we have an uptrend
like this, right? We can consider these retracements
areas where sell orders were getting filled, right? We see boom, more sell orders getting filled. Price moves down
because of it. Then we see boom a break of structure. Okay, right within here is our breaker
block, right? And we know if price revisits this again, this is another one of our continuation confluences.
We can see that there's going to be a lack of sell orders within here. We see buying power out of it. Price is likely
going to continue higher. Super similar to a fair value gap. Okay. Honestly, paired with a fair value gap is a pretty
awesome confluence. And then now let's go into boom, an uptrend, right? every single one of these
legs down these retracements more buy orders getting filled. Okay, this is our breaker block prior to
breaking structure, right? And we know that within here there is a lack of buy orders. So when price pushes in
here and we see selling power out of it, we can assume that price is going to go lower. Why? because when price entered
through it, it was able to go cleanly past it and break structure. Cool. Now, let's go into identifying them. The
easiest way to identify them is looking at them like this. It's literally the like the opposite of an
order block. Okay? So, a bullish breaker is going to be the move down prior to the breakup structure. A bearish breaker
is the move move down prior to break of structure to the downside. Boom. Boom. And then a bullish breaker
is going to be the move up prior to the breaking structure to the downside. Boom.
Cool. Cool. Let's get into identifying these babies. These babies
and babies and babies. Let's move into some better price action. I really have not traded much at all over the past
really like two weeks. Put this into like a higher time frame. See if we can see anything nice. Okay,
perfect example right here. Okay. So, we have boom, we have this is the break. This is the
breaking structure right here, right? Boom. We we want to find the the move up prior to the breaking structure to the
upside. Okay, we have two situations here. Typically, for me, right, I'm looking for the leg down that causes
like the liquidity sweep. Either way, you can mark either of these as the breaker with this, right? Which
one's the move up prior to the breaker structure to the upside? We see the breaker structure to the upside right
here on the hourly. Okay, we have this boom, this up candle and this whole up candle
breaker right here. If you wanted to, you could also consider this a breaker. Okay? Because
typically what we like to what some people like to do is they like to identify the legs up
prior to the liquidity sweep. And we can see that this is the liquidity sweep. But in reality, right, we see that this
offered a better entry. Okay, let's go and find a more clear example of this. And there's one right here. Okay, we see
a boom, big leg up, breaking structure to the downside. What do we want to do? We want to find the move down. Boom.
Prior to the breaker structure to the downside to find that bearish breaker block,
right? We see that big leg up. Okay, we see price break structure. Boom. We see it revisit. We see selling power out of
it. Boom. Price continues lower. Okay, let's try and find more examples of this. And again, is this one of those
things where price is just always 1 million trillion% going to draw towards it just because it gets formed? No,
definitely not. But it's something that we can take note of. And if we see it draw into a breaker and if we see
reactions out of it, what can we safely assume? That price is going to continue in that direction. Okay. All of these
are just confluences that help us understand where price wants to go. Okay, this is another good example. We
have a break of structure to the upside right here off this candle. Boom. Let's see if price did price even get into
this one. Oh, unfortunately not. Okay, we got real close to this. And this is when
right, we can highlight a couple things. Boom. breaker imbalances within here, right? All of that. But that was a
breaking block. See if we can find some on the low time frame.
Okay, here we go. We had boom break structure to the upside right here. We have the move up
prior to the breaking structure to the upside. Okay, we see that boom slight little tap in. Okay, we get that
rejection. Boom. Boom. Continuation to the upside right here. Price continues higher. What else do we have that
combined with? Boom. We have a fair value gap within here.
Okay. What can we also consider this black candle move down order block, right? So, now you're starting to see
how all of our confluences can start to come together with this. Let's do some more examples here.
Okay, this one again, I'm just when I put things together, this is literally just identifying it. When we start
putting things together, it's going to make a lot more sense. We're just drawing these out and showing them
where. Again, this isn't going to be one of those things where you're just like, "Oh, I see a breaker." Boom. Boom.
Enter. No, that's not And great. I just lost my position. Um, oh, literally switched,
bro. Um, it's not going to be like, oh, breaker
bet spam, you know, like buy. No, bro. Like, focus. Okay. Like, there's going to be
several confluences that we wait for. Not just like fair value, you got bet or just like order block.
No, bro. Okay. So, boom, we get a break structure to the downside. Okay. We see the move down prior to the break. Boom.
We see price push on into it. Okay. We see rejection to the downside. Price continues lower. Okay. Right here
we get a breaker structure to the upside. Boom. We have the move up prior to the breaker structure to the upside.
Okay. Boom. We see price revisit the breaker. Price continues higher. And like this is a perfect example of okay,
we closed past a fair value gap, but we also have a confluence here. Right? This is getting a little bit into like
putting [Â __Â ] together and I'm probably going to end this video soon because I'm pretty sure you guys get the gist of it.
When we see some of our confluences get invalidated, but we have other confluences, right? That doesn't
necessarily mean like, oh, the fair value gap's gone. Like, [Â __Â ] it. We're out of here. No,
right? We got to sit here and realize like, okay, we got a breaking structure to the upside. Okay, fair value gap. It
got invalidated, but boom, we still have this breaker block that it could be drawing towards. Boom, we see buying
power out of it. Okay, price continues higher right here. We see a breaker structure
to the downside. Okay, where's the move down prior to the break of structure to the downside right
here? Okay, see we see price push on up in here into the breaker. Okay, we see selling power out of it. Price continues
lower. Okay. And again, this is like it's easy for me to just go
on here and just be like bing bang boom blah blah blah blah blah. Watch. Perfect. It works. It's not going to
work every single [Â __Â ] time. I'm cherry-picking these, but I'm cherry-picking these so that you guys
can see exactly what the [Â __Â ] a breaker is before we get into actually putting this [Â __Â ] together. And trust me, when
we put this [Â __Â ] together, it's going to be really [Â __Â ] easy for you guys, okay?
But with that being said, I'm pretty sure you guys know how to identify these [Â __Â ] now.
We're locked. We're loaded. We're here to talk about SMT divergence. So, without further ado, today we had SMT
divergence. Today during pre-market, we had a perfect example of SMT divergence. I'm going to try and explain this pretty
simply so that you guys can understand. All that SMT divergence is is one index forecasting what another index is going
to do. So today, for example, I was bullish because on the 4 hour time frame, we were bullish. On the hourly,
we weren't bullish, but on the 4 hour, we were. And on NASDAQ, we came down and we swept out these hourly lows. Let's
get rid of like everything except for the SMT divergence because that's all that this [Â __Â ] is about.
So, we know our bias is bullish, right? NASDAQ makes this low and then it makes a higher low up here.
during the same point in time. Okay, so we have this low and then this low. During the same point in time, see this
was the mark out from the stream. ES makes this low when NASDAQ makes this low and then ES makes a lower low
when NASDAQ makes that significantly higher low. This was a really drastic
example of it. Typically, it's going to be a lot less less of something like that where like the higher low will be
right here. But it but for a bullish SMT,
one index creates a higher low while the other index creates a lower low. And pretty much all that it's doing is
this. In this case, NQ is forecasting and saying, "Hey, we made a higher low on NQ, but on ES we
made a lower low. At the same time that N come on, at the same time that NQ made a higher low,
it's this is like a fortune teller. It's telling us that ES is likely going to go higher. So when I see that ES is
probably going to draw into these 15-minute highs and then these 15-minute highs. Why? Because of the SMT
divergence. Okay. So the best way that I can explain SMT is one, find your bias because if you don't have a bias, then
you'll be finding SMT divergences that are that are conflicting, right? So you have to have your over overall bias. And
we knew that our oath that holy [Â __Â ] okay that our overall bias was
bullish coming into New York session even on ES okay now we're bearish but anyways besides that we were bullish
coming into market open same thing here on NASDAQ okay so when we scale down on the lower time frame and we see NASDAQ
create this low and then a higher low. But ES create this low and then a lower low. We can assume that ES is going to
continue higher. Okay? And we can use that to our advantage. I know a lot of people that
this is [Â __Â ] huge, bro. Like a lot of people will say like, "Oh yeah, I don't even take I think uh Darius says he
doesn't even take trades if um the SMT if if his setup doesn't have an SMT in it or if like the level the high time
frame level that price is pushing into. If it if he they don't see a if he doesn't see an SMT, he's like, I'm not
taking it." Okay, so let's find another example of this. Why do most tra are most traders
like gay as [Â __Â ] Pause. Not really though.
Hit me up. Just playing. But seriously, back my line. Okay. Yeah. No, there wasn't an
SMT here. Let's see if there was any anything off of those highs.
There you go. Okay. Bet. Good example here. Okay, this isn't necessarily for market
open, but anyways, let's just say for example, let's say we're bearish, okay? And NQ,
we make this high and then we make this high. ES also coming into a high time frame
liquidity sweep. Okay, we come into a high time frame level. NQ makes Come on, man.
NQ makes a high then a lower high. ES comes through makes a high and then a higher high. So
if our bias is bearish, right? And we only use this is another thing to add. When we're looking for
bullish SMT, we're only using the lows. And when we're looking for bearish SMT, we're only only looking for highs. So,
we come into this high time frame level, high time frame liquidity sweep, and ES makes a high then a higher high. But NQ
at the same time makes a high then a lower high. So, we can go in on ES and be like, I bet I'm
going to place a bet. Okay. And we can say okay NASDAQ is telling us the future
because it made a lower high obviously make sure it's in line with our bias and then from there we can scale down and
try and find entries. Okay. So we and another thing another huge thing I do not like to use SMT divergence on the
one minute. Typically my SMT divergence is going to be on the 5m minute or the 15minute. And it also works really well
for high time frames. Oh, this is another perfect example. Okay, but anyways, this was during pre-market. So,
not much of like entry work to be found within here, but you can still see that it holds true because price ends up
coming down, taking out liquidity. Um, and on uh NASDAQ, NASDAQ smoking on gas pack. Okay, it did the same thing. Uh,
boom, came down, swept liquidity. This is another good example of how we can use it to find bias. Okay, because on ES
right we have this high and then a lower high and then on NQ we have this high and then a higher high.
Okay, and on from there we can see that price wanted to come down sweep out this liquidity. Pretty shortlived. Okay, leg
down. But we can see that when we have this price,
it's pretty much telling us the future of where the other index wants to go. Oh, I could clickbait
the [Â __Â ] out of this. Put some crazy thumbnail like how to tell the future on the time
frames. Let's find more examples of this. Bingo was his name out. Okay, look here
on ES. Okay, my guess is this. Okay, first of all, we see a high time frame liquidity sweep. This had to have been
like CPI or something, PPI, but regardless, we can still apply this. Okay, boom. We come through, we sweep
out lows, bias bullish after we probably get like an hourly close above here. Okay,
we have this low right here. We form a lower low down here. But on NQ,
we have this low right here. And then we have a higher low right here. So what can that tell us the
future about on ES? because NQ made a higher low SMT divergence as well as us seeing ES
not breaking structure on this low sweeping these lows out. We can scale down to lower time frames and find
entries within here, right? Because we made a lower low on ES but a higher low on NQ. We can scale down into ES. We see
these lows get swept. We can finally we can probably find some sort of entry within here. Okay. So, the main thing
that I want you guys to remember from today for SMT divergence, because it's hard for me to go back in time and tell
myself, don't change a thing. But I'll write this one out. SMT diver. Come on, man.
Okay. What to look for? Okay. Okay, when we're bullish and we're coming into when we have a
bullish bias and we come into a bullish level, we're looking for higher low formed on either of the indexes
and lower low formed on the other. Okay? And then typically we're looking to execute on the other one because if we
see a higher low formed on one index index like let's say let's say we see a higher low formed on gas pack and we see
a lower low formed on S&P it means the S&P is lagging behind NASDAQ. So the S&P is likely going to follow suit and
continue higher. So that that means there's going to be more opportunity on ES. Okay. And then continuing when we
are bearish lower high formed on one index and
a higher high and a higher high on the other. Okay? Because again, when we're bullish
and we see this on one index and this on the other, we can assume that this one is going to follow suit of
this one for bullish. And then for bearish, if we see this on one
and this on the other, we can assume that this is going to follow suit of that index. Okay, so pretty straight
straightforward. This is just another confluence to add to your list of tools. Okay, that being said, I appreciate you
guys. I'll catch you guys in the next one. If you guys haven't already, please like,
please subscribe. Y'all are my people. I'll catch you guys. So, I know that was a lot of information for you guys to
digest and that's a whole bunch of confluences and you guys are like, "What the [Â __Â ] am I even supposed to do with
this?" Hopefully, you guys are starting to like piece the pieces together and you guys are like, "Okay, cool. I know
that draws on and liquidity are where price is going to reverse off of. I know fair value gaps are where price is
looking to balance out price action and then react off of it. I know that breakup structure is showing a change in
trend. You guys have all of these concepts and you guys have all of these patterns and price action formations
that help you guys dictate where price is going to go. Now we are going to put these confluences together in order to
predict where price action wants to go because again like I was saying in those other videos these are nothing just by
themselves. We need to put all of these together in congruence so that we are able to make a highly probable decision
when looking to make a trade within the markets because again these confluences standing alone are little to nothing but
when we put them together it helps us make a highly probable decision within the market. So again, this is going to
be me putting all of these confluences together for you guys so that you guys can say, "Hey, boom, we're looking for
liquidity suite. Then from there, break the structure. Then from there for value gap getting filled, and then from there,
we're going to scale down on this time frame, and then we're going to enter." Okay, all of that is going to be put
together in place so that you guys can form and build a strategy to finally be able to start making predictions on
where price wants to go. Again, this is going to take some time and it's going to take a lot of brain effort. So, if
you guys need to whatever split this up or just write it down on each step, that's okay. And with that being said,
let's jump straight into how we can actually get into strategy creation. And again, if you guys are struggling with
this on Confluences or with strategy creation and you guys are like, man, I wish I could just talk to Tyler
one-on-one. Again, you guys can go ahead, click the link in the description and join the blueprint where you guys
are going to be able to submit trades to people like me, people like my coaches, and you guys are going to say, "Hey, did
I use this confluence correctly? Is this trade the good trade to take?" Because again, I can only do so much on these
YouTube videos where I just cast this massive umbrella, this massive net where I just say, "Hey, you guys are going to
want to do this, this, this, then this." But I'm not able to actually correct you guys in real time when you guys are
attempting to do these things. And that's where a lot of my struggle was when I was an unprofitable trader where
I would learn these concepts and then I would go to apply them. But because I was a beginner and because I was an
unprofitable trader, I didn't necessarily know if I was making the right decisions or if I was using the
confluences correctly and I had to do it based off of my own knowledge that I had and just based off these YouTube videos.
The benefit of having a mentor and the benefit of having a coach right by your side is you guys can use these
confluences and then you guys can show it to your coach, someone like me, other profitable coaches, and then say, "Was I
doing this correct?" And we could be like, "Whoa, dude, you're completely screwing up the strategy." And just that
alone, just that little tip, that piece of advice could save you guys from 6 months worth of mistakes that you guys
keep making over and over again, but you guys don't even know that you're making that mistake over and over again because
you guys think that you're marking out the confluence correct. guys think that you're placing the trades correctly, but
in turn, you're not. And it's super beneficial to have a coach like me or somebody else that is profitable within
the markets to be able to see that and be like, "Hey, I've made this mistake before and it cost me literally 3 months
of losing over and over and over again. Let me save you those 3 months of time and let me put you guys in the right
position and let's adjust this, this, this, this, this, and then boom, your strategy is going to be perfect. You now
know how to identify these confluences correctly instead of you guys just wasting all that time." So, if that
sounds like something that you guys would want to be a part of, click the link down in the description for you
guys to join the blueprint. And that being said, let's jump into strategy creation. We're going to be talking
about systemizing your strategy. You guys have to systemize your strategy. What do I mean by that? I'm going to lay
out different tools for you guys to be able to take trades off of, okay? Different confluences. And eventually,
I'm going to give you guys my systemized strategy. Okay? It's not it's not going to work
for all of you guys. Some of you guys think about trading differently. Again, like I said, if my [Â __Â ] doesn't work for
you, choose something else. But when you choose something else, systemize it. And this is probably why the majority of you
guys are not able to be profitable with like SMC or ICT concepts. It's not that they don't work.
It's that you guys don't have a system. You guys don't have a step-by-step plan on how you're supposed to enter a trade.
If you guys just think of I don't know like any skill like usually there's like a step by step of how to do something or
how to execute something or at least like people who are successful there's variables that are dependent and
independent. Okay, that's like it's part of like experiment. So when you guys are
experimenting with your strategy, you want to know what doesn't work and what does work. So how the [Â __Â ] are you
supposed to know what doesn't work and what does work if you guys change your entry strategy every [Â __Â ] day? So
when you guys are trying to put these tools together, a lot of you guys are going to [Â __Â ] this up really badly. And
I know I did this like horribly and it caused me to be really unsuccessful for months until I figured out, okay, I have
to have a systemized plan. When you guys are getting into a trade, you should have a step by step of how you were
supposed to enter. Because when you do that step by step, you're able to immediately say, "Okay." And you're able
to look back on your losing trades and you're able to say, "Okay, 90% of the time when I enter off of
order blocks, I lose. I should stop entering off of order blocks." Remove that. and you're able to directly
identify this confluence is not working for me versus if you guys are just and same thing like the time frames
the the confluences of you guys entering the pair that you guys are trading all of these things matter and that's why
you guys should simplify [Â __Â ] down where first thing like you guys should only be trading one pair second thing You guys
should only be trading during one session, okay? Because that just boom, immediately one variable plug in for
both of those things. Super easy. Strategy, we can't just have like green candle press buy, right? There's a
couple more steps. So that's why we want to simplify everything else before we get into our execution. And
again, we want to simplify our execution, too, or we want to systemize our execution. So within our execution,
this is what you guys shouldn't be doing. You shouldn't be looking at the weekly, then looking at the daily, then
looking at the 4 hour, then looking at the hourly, then looking at the 15-minute, then looking at the 5m
minute, then looking at the one minute, and marking out every single confluence on every single one of those time
frames. You're doing yourself a disservice. And then along with that, what you also
shouldn't be doing is on Monday, let's say your bias is bullish and you found that by looking at the daily time frame
and the 4 hour time frame and then you entered on the one minute and you won. And then on Tuesday, your bias is
bearish and you found that by looking at the 1 hour and the 4 hour and you entered on the 15minute and you lost.
And then on Wednesday, you looked at the weekly and the one hour and you took your trade off the one minute. You see
how that causes issues where your strategy is you guys are using technically a different strategy every
[Â __Â ] day because it's not systemized. It's not look at this time frame. This time frame
gives me an input. Rotate to the next time frame. Because of that higher time frame input, we get to go to the lower
time frame input. And then we make a decision on that. From there, we go to another time frame. We make a decision
on that based off those two inputs. You guys should have a system of entry, not just I see this, I see this, I go to
this, I see this, I mark this, I mark that, and I enter. It's not how that [Â __Â ] should work. You guys should see
one time frame, get a bias off of that. And because of that bias, you're able to go to another time frame. Maybe both of
those time frames are to help you find your bias, right? Maybe you go on the daily, and again, you guys will see my
system, my strategy. That's why I'm talking in like vague terms right now because I don't want you guys to jump
ahead because you guys aren't even there yet. But I need to make this video for a lot of people because a lot of you guys
are just shooting yourselves in in the foot. Okay? So like maybe your systemized strategy is I go on the daily
time frame and I see what the what what my bias is based on the overall trend and then I have that boom that's input
one. The bias on the daily is bullish. We rotate to the 4our. We see on the 4 hour the bias is still bullish. Okay. So
because of that we have two bullish biases, two inputs and then because of those two inputs we're able to rotate to
like the 15minut time frame. And then we're looking for a sweep of high time frame liquidity. And then from there
we're looking for a break of structure. And then from there we're looking for one of my entry confluences. Okay?
Whether that be like order block, fair value gap, equilibrium, breaker block, and then we're looking for reactions out
of that. See how that's systemized? We have we go from daily, 4 hour, 15. And that's not
my strategy. I just pulled that [Â __Â ] out of my ass. Don't don't use that. We went from daily 4hour overall bias rotate
into 15minute confluence confluence entry. It's a step-by-step program.
And then from there, when you see, okay, when I enter off of an order block within that program, I'm more likely to
you lose because you're journaling all of your trades, as you should, I'm more likely to lose. My probability
when I'm trading off of order blocks is a lot lower. Boom. You no longer are able to trade off of order blocks. Your
probability of winning goes higher. Now we're trading daily 4hour liquidity sweep break of structure only
enter off of fair value gap equilibrium breaker block. Okay, we see that our probability is a lot lower off of
equilibrium. We take that out. probability of winning goes higher until you have literally a stepby [Â __Â ] step
program of being able to enter into a trade. that one won't give you a trade every
single day, but two, you know, your probability is going to be so high because you were able to take out all of
those variables and you know what your probability is going into every single day and every single trade
because of that step-by-step process that you guys laid out where it's so easy where you literally can just sit on
your hands and not do [Â __Â ] ever until those steps have been completed.
And then once those steps get completed, it's brainless work. You press buy or you press sell. You set your stop-loss.
You set your take profits and we're on our way. That is how strategy should work. It
shouldn't be you like literally every single day you guys are trading a different strategy. I hope you
understand that you guys are trading off of a different confluence every day. You guys are finding your daily bias based
off different time frames every day. You guys are entering. You guys are you guys pro you guys have like 30 different
strategies that you guys are trying to trade with every single day that you guys don't even know are 30 different
strategies and you're labeling it as one strategy. It's not one strategy. Right now, what you guys are doing is you guys
have a bunch of tools, a bunch of confluences and you're just bundling them all up
together and like throwing them at the chart and trying trying to get a winning trade out of it. That's not how this
[Â __Â ] works. systemize your strategy and then you guys will be able to identify what's causing you to lose versus right
now your strategy is like I'm going to look at seven different time frames and enter off of three different new
confluences per day and you have no [Â __Â ] clue why you're winning or why you're losing and then
when you go to do your journaling you're literally guessing why you're why you're losing.
You're saying, "Oh, like it didn't work out for this." No, bro. Like you got with the systemized
strategy, you guys will be able to see 80% of the time when I enter off of like fair value gaps, I suck dick at them.
So, I'm no longer going to do that. Boom. That just takes away a fat chunk of your losing trades. that boosts your
profitability immediately by systemizing your strategy until you guys can break it down and
simplify it so much where you guys literally just remove everything that has low probability within your system
so that your system is purely high probability. So, I wanted to make this video to
hopefully help you guys one, start systemizing your strategy if you guys haven't already, and two, prepare you
guys to make sure that once I do lay out all these tools for you guys, you guys don't just go apehit and start throwing
hammers and nails and [Â __Â ] wrenches at some [Â __Â ] without having any clue what you're doing. And of you know like
then you guys will have and I will say I [Â __Â ] up in the past like with the boot camp like I [Â __Â ] up where I didn't
give you guys a systemized strategy. I kind of just like assumed and that's probably the worst thing to do
especially with people who are beginners. You should never [Â __Â ] assume. This time around we're not doing
that. That's why we're changing the way of the the tool and confluence delivery. we will be able to take systemized
entries and exits and it's going to be awesome and hopefully it takes you one step closer
to being a higher probability and a more profitable trader all for [Â __Â ] free. Let's get it. Oh, say does that star
spangled ber yet way
for the land of the free and the home of the
brave. Figured we might as well start off with some some [Â __Â ] patrioticness
before we give you guys the first piece of the strategy. Okay, so this is going to be one of many videos. Who knows how
many parts this is going to take. We're going to break this down as simple as possible for you guys. Again, who knows
how many parts this is going to take. We're going to take as many parts as we need to in order for us to drill this
[Â __Â ] into your guys' mini ass [Â __Â ] brains. Okay? So, you guys remember our confluences. Yes,
you guys remember everything that I've ever taught you ever in the entire world.
Right? Wrong. So, go back and re rewatch, reread. Start off. Welcome to the [Â __Â ]
strategy video. The [Â __Â ] strategy video, [Â __Â ] Okay. All right. Focus. There's going to be several several
parts of this to preface this. This first one that I'm going to give you guys, this is like
beginner and then as the rest of this goes on, the more [Â __Â ] advanced it's going to get because there's going to be
more and more things that we can add to this to make it better. Okay? Okay, so you're probably going to watch this and
be like, "Yeah, TJR, you're such a piece of [Â __Â ] You taught me the [Â __Â ] basic [Â __Â ]
strategy." Well, guess what, little [Â __Â ] Timmy, you don't know [Â __Â ] about trading yet. So, shut up and eat your
pacifier. You're [Â __Â ] binky. Okay, so basic [Â __Â ] strategy step by step.
Here we go. Okay, step one, we treat our 4hour and our hourly as our daily bias. And keep
in mind, there's a million other ways to trade. This is just my strategy. You guys want
to trade like me, this works for you, cool. Remember, think back to our psychology videos. Think back to
literally videos like one through five or whatever it was before we started Confluences. Watch those shits and
remember what I was telling you guys about how this shit's going to take time. And if my strategy doesn't make
sense to you, get the [Â __Â ] out of here, okay? And I that's boom, like I taught you something, get the [Â __Â ] out, okay?
If this [Â __Â ] doesn't make sense. So the way that I like to trade is I like to catch one to threehour moves. Okay? So
ideally I'm in the market for 1 to 3 hours. Sometimes it's a little bit less, but ideally I'm catching like a 3hour
movement. Okay? Okay. So, with that in mind, are we really trying to figure out a weekly move? Not necessarily.
So, I like to stay away from the daily time frame because if we look at the daily time frame, that's really giving
us a prediction of, okay, where is the where are the next couple days going to go? I don't really give a [Â __Â ] about
that. We want to scale down one step lower and start looking at, okay, where are the next four hours going to go?
Where are the next hours going to go? Okay. And we're going to treat that as our daily bias or as our bias going into
our trading day. Okay. So, treat the 4 hour and the 1 hour as our bias.
Okay. So, what does that mean? Look. Whoa. Chill out on look. Okay. Not lower case. Look. Okay. Look at 4hour trend.
Okay, we're looking at the 4 hour and the 1 hour trend. What is something that we know? That's just basic ass [Â __Â ]
Higher time frames hold higher power, right? Because if the 4 hour says, "Hey, look, we're going to go [Â __Â ] up." And
the hourly says, "Wait, no, we're going to go down." Longer term, if the 4hour time frame is saying we're going [Â __Â ]
up, the hourly is probably hitting a [Â __Â ] retrace on our ass. Okay, so with that in mind, we want to look at
the 4our trend and that's going to be our overall bias. We see the 4hour trend, right? Is it a [Â __Â ] uptrend or
is it a [Â __Â ] downtrend? Simple as [Â __Â ] We're not trying to predict reversals. We look at the 4hour trend
and we know, okay, this is where the next 4 hours are likely going to go. Too bad, so sad if we take a loss because
the 4hour break structure. Ideally, we're not trying to catch reversals on the 4 hour. Okay? We're trying to stay
within the trend. So, or bias is based on 4hour trend. If
boom. Simple as [Â __Â ] Our bias, our overall daily outlook on the day is based on the 4hour trend. If the 4 hour
is in an uptrend, what does that mean? Higher highs, higher lows, breaking structure to the upside. Cool. We're
bullish. If it's in a downtrend, we are bearish. Lower lows, lower highs. Step four, look at the 1 hour trend.
Okay, what does the 1 hour trend let us do? It helps us decide what lower time frame we are going to scale into to end
up looking for a trade. Okay, so we're going to look at the hourly trend. If [Applause]
If the 1 hour trend is in line with the 4hour trend, we're looking at the 1 hour trend and if
we see boom, the 4 hour is bullish and the hourly is bullish. Bet. We can scale down into the five minute and look for
execution points within there. Okay, we cool if
[Applause] [Applause] the 1 hour is in an opposite. Okay, I'm
going to change this to opposite. If the 1 hour trend, if the 1 hour trend is in an opposite trend, then the 4hour
trend, then we have to execute on a higher time frame, aka the 15minute. Okay, so if the 4 hour is bullish and
the hour and the hourly is bearish, what do we get to do? We get to scale
down onto the 15-minute time frame and then look for execution points. Cool. Cool. We just laid out how we find our
daily bias and then how we're going to scale down. Simple, simple, simple. And again, this is the simple baby ass [Â __Â ]
You're probably going to be like, TJR, I only found [Â __Â ] one trade this week. It probably hit take profit
if you're going to follow this step by step, rule by rule. If you don't follow this step by step rule by rule, you'll
find 20 trades and be on that one [Â __Â ] spectrum. I love freedom of speech. Okay, step six.
Okay, remember 4 hour. If it's bullish, cool. We know that we're looking for buys.
We're we're bullish for the day. And then if the 1 hour is bullish, cool. We're still bullish. We get to scale
down into the fiveminut time frame and look look for execution points. reverse. If the 4 hour is bullish and
the hourly is bearish, what does that make us? Still bullish. Higher time frame holds higher power.
Where where can we execute down to the 15-minut time frame? Okay, we need higher time frame execution points,
higher time frame confirmation. Uh, cool. Cool. from there. What
[Applause] What are our execution points?
What are our execution points? Well, what do we always most often look for when trying to take a trade? First
things first, where's the top of a trend going to reverse from? Liquidity sweep. And what is something that we know about
pretty much the majority of the time every single market open there's going to be liquidity sweep. Okay. So our
execution points are going to be as so we're going to how should we do this? We're going to go A. That was a one. A
liquidity liquidity sweep plus break of structure. What are we looking for? A liquidity
sweep on a higher time frame. Not on the 15-minut, not on the 5m minute. Okay, we
want to see it on the higher time frame. So, what does that mean for us? What are our higher time frames? What are we only
looking at? 1 hour and 4 hour. Boom. So liquidity sweep 1 hour
or 4hour draws of liquidity. Okay. And break of structure on
five minute or Okay. So, step one, we understand our bias. Okay. Whatever the 4 hour is
telling us, that's what our bias is. From there, if we have a bullish bias, what are we looking for? We're looking
for draws of liquidity underneath lows on the high time frames on the 4 hour and the 1 hour. Okay? So, if we're
bullish, we're looking for 1 hour lows and 4hour lows. We're marking those out. The next step within that,
if if we get into those draws of liquidity, once we see those levels hit, if we don't see those levels hit,
nothing happens. The way I teach my mastermind students, I say, find the 4hour trend. If we if we're bullish,
cool. We highlight the high time frame lows. We get our hands and we shove them into our ass and we don't do anything
until those prices are hit. Once they're hit, we can scale in into either the 5m minute or the 15-minute based on both
the 4hour and the 1 hour trends. Right? So, if the 4 hour is bullish and the hourly is bullish, then we get a sweep
of lows on either the 1 hour or the 4 hour, cool. we scale down into the 5minut time frame and the next thing
we're looking for is a break of structure. If the 4hour is bullish and the hourly is bearish, what are we
looking for? We're still looking for lows and we can still use both the hourly lows and 4hour lows. Draws of
liquidity doesn't change based on the trend. Okay? So, if we're bullish on the 4 hour, but we're bearish on the hourly,
we're still looking for lows. We highlight every single low that's based on the hourly and the 4hour chart. We
put our hands on our ass until those prices get hit. Cool. We wait. We see those prices get hit. When where can we
scale down into the 15-minute time frame? What are we looking for following that? A 15-minute break of structure.
Cool. Cool. Moving forward. Step B. Again,
once both of these have [Applause] Once both of these have happened, we're
looking for our third confluence. Okay. What are our what is what are the other
confluences that we have? Order block, fair value gap, breaker block, equilibrium.
Those four. Okay. Damn. Come on. Okay, now let's break this down again. 4
hours bullish, hourly is bullish. Boom. Hands in our ass. We know that we're waiting for lows to be swept. We see a 1
hour low get swept. Perfect. Muddy hands out. Boom. We can scale down to the 5minute cuz the 4 hour and the hourly
are in line. From there, we wait for a fivem minutee breakup structure. Boom. What do we move down to? Then the last
and final step. We're waiting for our third confluence. We're waiting for either an order block to get hit, a fair
value gap to get hit, a breaker block to get hit, or equilibrium to get hit. Okay? We don't do anything until these
[Â __Â ] get hit. We don't even do anything once they're hit. We need one more step. Pause this right here. Okay.
Moving forward. If the 4 hour is bullish, but the hourly is bearish, we are waiting for a high time frame
liquidity sweep still to the downside because the 4 hour is bullish. We're waiting for either hourly lows to get
swept or 4 hours lows to get swept. Our hands are in our ass until that happens. We see those lows get swept. Muddy hands
come out. 15minute time frame scale down. We're waiting for a 15-minute break of structure. From there, we're
looking for our third confluence. We're either looking for an order block on the 15-minute for a value gap on the
15-minute, breaker block on the 15-minute, or equilibrium on the 15-minute.
Cool. Cool. Last and final step. [Applause]
[Applause] We need to see buying pressure or selling pressure in order to execute out
of these confluences, right? Because if we just enter right when they get hit, how the [Â __Â ] do we know if they actually
held, right? If we think back to breaker blocks, remember, how are these breaker blocks even formed? It's off a
confluence confluence getting invalidated because it just gets blown through. We don't want to end up being
[Â __Â ] busted through like a [Â __Â ] breaker block. We want to wait for our confluence to get hit and then buying
pressure out or selling pressure out in order to execute. Okay, so what does that look like? Literally just a green
candle up and out of the order block, a green candle up and out of the fair value gap, a green candle up and out of
the breaker block, a green candle closing above equilibrium. Okay? or a red candle closing underneath an order
block, red candle closing underneath a fair value gap, red candle closing underneath a breaker block, or red
candle closing underneath equilibrium. Okay, so we need to see buying or selling pressure out of these
confluences. And tomorrow when we go into actually pointing this [Â __Â ] out on the chart, I know this is a lot to write
down. I the goal today, we're already 22 minutes in 22 minutes into this [Â __Â ] I just want you guys to write this down so
we can get our strategy down. And again, this is the simple [Â __Â ] There's another piece that we're going to add on to this
after, but right now, this is all we're going to get. Okay, last and final. ABCDE E.
Okay, [Applause] once you see pressure, execute. We are
going to get into take profits. We're going to get into stop losses. once we start adding more and more
stuff. Okay, all I want for you guys today is to understand this. Okay, this is how we find our overall daily bias,
right? We're looking for the 4hour trend in the 1 hour trend. That's how we figure out what time frames we're going
to scale down into. Okay, from there we figure out our execution points. Okay, we understand
that we're looking for a liquidity sweep. Okay, and again again this is the simplest [Â __Â ] We're going to add more
to this and we're going to add different things that we can change within this as things happen, whether it happens during
pre-market or postmarket. Okay? But again, that forget about that [Â __Â ] right now. This is all I want you guys to know
because this is this is the simplest [Â __Â ] strategy. We did this with my mastermind, my first mastermind, and all
of them literally like just by being disciplined using risk management and executing purely based off these steps
alone. Don't do anything else besides these steps and you will be successful. I promise you. No matter [Â __Â ] what. I
guarantee you, you will be successful within the markets. How many trades will you take? I don't [Â __Â ] know. It's not
going to be a lot. But you will you will win more trades than you lose if you follow this [Â __Â ] word for word, bar
forbar. A lot of you guys are going to get into the market and then try this [Â __Â ]
and you're going to take 10 trades in a single day and you're doing it wrong. I I haven't taken I haven't seen a single
trade using this strategy the past two weeks. Okay, so if that gives you any sort of
idea of like how simple and how basic this is, but also it's really [Â __Â ] effective. This is like the most
beginner the most simple ass [Â __Â ] And and again, we're going to add a lot more onto this afterwards, okay? But right
now, this is the basic [Â __Â ] that I need you guys to understand. Write this [Â __Â ] down. This is your first This is like
the [Â __Â ] base of your strategy. If you guys can't understand this, I don't know what you're going to do. This is
This is like just I learned this today. This is like a regular Glock. And then we're going to add an 18
[Â __Â ] barrel attachment and then a switch and then a [Â __Â ] flashlight. and then a red dot and then a [Â __Â ]
beam on that [Â __Â ] and then we're going to be lethal killers. But right now, we just have the [Â __Â ] base of the [Â __Â ]
And that's what this is. Cool. And because you guys learned this, I don't want to see any of you guys
taking [Â __Â ] trades on Monday cuz you guys still don't know [Â __Â ] We haven't even talked about how we can identify
all of these things together. We just had to break this down just to explain this [Â __Â ] for you guys. Tomorrow we are
going to talk about where that even lies and how to understand where the [Â __Â ] it is on the chart. Okay, cool. Got it.
Awesome. All right, guys. Welcome to strategy creation part number two. So, as you guys remember, this is how we
start looking into our trades. Okay, this is kind of our step-by-step plan, our base foundation of how we're going
to start looking into trades. So, now that we understand this, we're going to go into identifying these on
the chart. And as you guys know, I pretty much told you guys, hey, um, the past two weeks by using this, there
wasn't even a trade to take. So, with that being said, we kind of have to go back 2 weeks in order to start
identifying these. And again, it's not an issue because as we start adding on to this, you're going to start seeing
that, hey, there's a potential trade to take almost every single day, not with just
Wow. Booger came out cuz I got so aggressive with you guys. Not with just this, but with the other
things that we're able to add on to this. Okay, that's how we're going to start
finding more and more trades. But for now, with just this basic ass simple ass strategy, literally square one noob
territory, this is all that we can do for now. Okay? Cuz again, you guys don't know anything about trading. You guys
don't even know how to enter a trade. You guys don't know where to put your stop loss. You guys don't know where to
put your takeprofit. We're going to get there in part three probably. But right now, let's just talk about identifying
these. Okay? Let's go back like two freaking weeks. Let's go back in here.
Okay, this seems like a decent spot. First of all, we're only trading New York session.
Okay, so we're actually just going to go in here and start just highlighting every New York session
from here on out. Boom. I know there's like an indicator that you can put on that shows New York open, but
me personally, it's kind of like weird to do that if you ask me. Okay, I'll move that one later.
Friday. I need to keep in mind that some of these were high impact news days,
but regardless, we're just going to walk through as many of these as possible.
Boom. Okay, cool. Which one was the one that was set at night? This one.
9:30 now. Bet. Okay, we're going to start right here. Let's go into the 4 hour.
Start off. Remember what are we looking for prior to market open? Okay, we're
looking at the overall bias of market. Okay, so right here we got a break of structure to the downside on the 4 hour.
Price continues lower. Okay, boom. Right, we don't know that this 4hour candle is going to close bullish until
like 30 minutes into market open. So we just need to keep that in mind. Okay. So, for the time being, price is
bearish. Okay. On the 4 hour. So, what are we looking for? We're looking for sells. Scale down into the hourly.
Okay. On the hourly time frame, again, we do not understand that price is going to be bearish until we see boom, this
hourly candle close, which is 30 minutes into market open. Okay. Okay. So, for the time being, we're still bearish.
Okay. So, we're bearish on both the 4hour and the hourly. Okay. Because we never
see a breakup structure to the upside on the hourly. We see this breakup structure to the downside. Okay? This is
the high. This is the high. This is the high. We don't see a breakup structure until market open. Okay. So, with that
being said, we can scale down into the five minute time frame. Not the 15-minute, the 5m minute because we
know, hey, the hour or sorry, let's stay on the hourly for a bit. The hourly time frame
and the 4 hour are bearish. Okay, from there, what are we doing during pre-market? We're marking out highs,
right? We want to identify our high time frame draws of liquidity. Okay, so boom, we're marking out 1 hour highs and 4hour
highs. Okay. Boom. Okay. Price is probably not going to go all the way up until that 4
hour high. All the way up there. All right. Okay. We scale into the 5minute time frame.
Okay. Boom. Market opens. What do we see? We price we see price draw into these hourly highs. Okay.
Okay, we have this hourly high all the way up the up here that doesn't get hit. We see price draw into these hourly
highs. What are we looking for? Boom. We can pull our muddy hands out of our ass after these high time frame draws of
liquidity get hit and we can start looking for a breaker structure on the 5minut time frame. Okay, from there,
boom, we see a breaker structure to the downside. Now, what are we looking for?
We're looking for one of our confluences. Okay, where do we see a confluence?
Well, there's an imbalance right here. Right from this wick down to this wick, we see it get filled and then boom, we
see bearish confluence out of that. What else can we identify? Well, there's an order block, but it starts
all the way down here. There's a breaker, but it starts right here. So, really not much else. We can go ahead
and mark out equilibrium if we would like, but we really just need one of our We really just need one of our other
confluences, our continuation confluences to be able to enter because we have what high time frame liquidity
sweep. We have our 4hour and our hourly in line. We got our breakup structure. We're just waiting for that last
confluence with rejection to the downside. Okay, so with that being said, we see boom, price comes up. We see a
break of structure to the downside with this candle right here. We see this imbalance get formed. We see price push
up into it. We see this bearish candle. But what happens? Remember, I want to see the candle close out of there. Okay.
So, boom. We finally see this candle close out of there. Perfect entry right here.
