[0:00]How we doing? We're back. What I wanted to today is go into my forex strategy. So this will be a forex video. I want to take my time with it, so this is going to I'm going to break it down in parts because so it's not overwhelming. And I really want to take my time with it and really um, show you all everything exactly how I trade. I feel like it's important to provide value most importantly. So I want to provide value to you guys first. And I think I want to show also appreciation for the people that followed me from the very start, right? Because say if you do become bigger or on social media and things like that, it's easy to then forget, you know, the people that built you up and you guys, the people that first showed me the support and first followed me, you guys are the most important because without you I wouldn't be where I would be in the future. So you guys were the stepping stones for me. So I think you guys should get rewarded for it. Um, so yeah, I'm going to dive into my strategy. We're going to we're going to talk about my strategy. So there's there's many layers to it, right guys? I'm already just thinking in my head like, what, so we're going to break it down a lot. We're really, really going to break it down. What I want to say is, so I enter off zones of supply and zones of demand, okay? If you don't know what they are, I'd recommend to YouTube them. I already did a video, my first video kind of explaining what they are. So they're order blocks. So that's how I base my entries off. I put my entries there and my stop losses there. But also a good thing I think for you guys to know is is pattern recognition, right? And we're going to go through some patterns, right? I one of the patterns is that price will do is these kind of big slams down and then big recoveries, right? So this is one of the patterns I I look out for. A pattern like so, what I like to see is if there's a zone of demand here, for example, like that, I like to look for something. So when I see price up here before it does the slam down, I'm already thinking, can can price produce me a pattern like this, right? Where it comes down, sweeps some key levels, maybe these are Asia lows, as well, daily lows, there's some equal levels. London, London open, whatever it may be, I'll look for that and then I look to see if there's a demand zone within this impulse, right? To so then we get a pattern like this. Yeah, cool. So, so this is my criteria, right? for um what I look to trade. So, let's go through it, right? The why is this a pattern like this so powerful? Well, first of all, it's the trend, right? I want to go with the trend. So in this case, we're bullish, right? So obviously I haven't drawn it, but I mean, if I just draw this, there we go, we're bullish. Then I want to look for targets, right? So the reason why this is so powerful is especially if it leaves you equal levels, right? Price leaves you equal levels, then all of a sudden you have targets and you can go and target higher up. And then liquidity, right? I want to see, as we talked about manipulation, so I want to get into the manipulation of it might be Asia lows, daily lows, order blocks, swing lows, right? So, why a pattern like this is so powerful is because, for example, we would have we'd have the manipulation of this low, we'd have the manipulation of this low, which could be a daily low, it could be a four-hour low, it could be an Asia low, it'll present itself in many ways, but the the key component is a manipulation. Because even if we're bullish, we want to get rid of the early buyers, right? So even buyers that we want to get rid of people that are buying here, and we want to get rid of people that are buying here. And then we want to get into the main move, right? So that's a really that's a really key component for me, right? I want to see the manipulation. I want to see us manipulate these lows. Come and close some orders behind and then go for go for these targets. So then I'll look for that and so when I see a pattern like this, I'll then always look within this area to see if there's an order block for me to maybe put my stop loss like this. And then target the highlight this, right? So that that'd be my my my thing, all right? But I don't just want to get in any order block, right? Because down here you're going to have a lot of order blocks, right? And there's, so then we have to assess what order block do we get in? One of the things I look out for is a very distinct order block and it's a very particular order block. And it looks like so. It looks like this, right? Memorize it, look at it. It's an order block with a wick, an unfilled wick. So what I like to really see is an order block that looks like this within here, for then price, when price comes down here, to then say, we can imagine this push down, right? being this this line that I'm drawing. Price comes in, taps the the unfilled order and then flies up like so. So this is just a replica of it, and then flies up like so, and taps it perfectly, right?
[5:20]So I want to see something like this, right? And there's, yeah, yeah, there's there's a lot of reasons why this work, obviously, one of them is the big wick. Represent that that was an area of rejection, a strong area of rejection where there's a lot of volume that ordered so price normally comes wants to come to close it all. What we'll find is that sometimes price will will tap this, and sometimes price won't. How I I always try and be on the cautious cautious side and and depends on the stop loss if the stop loss really big, then I just I'll just play that. Um, but sometimes you always want to pad it out and be on the cautious side. Another thing I take into account is psychological price levels. I'm not going to go into it now.
[6:03]Um, but that's some real real source about psychological price levels and that's how I really managed to get some crazy perfect entries and is using psychological price levels. This also works in futures by the way, guys, um, but this is just how I've I trade forex. This is one of the patterns we'll so I did say earlier, but we're going to break down, we're going to break down more patterns. I I'll have a good few more that I like to trade. This is one of them. So we're just going to now look at a perfect example of this pattern that I like to trade and we'll dive deep into it and and yeah, we'll um, we'll assess it, okay? Perfect. Okay. Okay. Let's go an example of a trade that I took. Uh, what was this? July I think it was. Damn time flies, man. All right. So this is U USD JPY. So what I can instantly see is when I look at this, right, is I'm trying to look at determine who's in control. So, obviously, what we've had is we've had multiple manipulations from both sides, right? We've had price tap into this zone of supply right here, perfectly tap into it and get all the way down and look what price did. Where a lot of people would have bought maybe here, here, here. Price decides instead to come all the way down, sweep these guys out perfectly and then start rallying up to the upside, right? So price decides to do that.
[7:31]So when I see this, I say to myself, I look at this, I'm like, um, is there any, is there reasons for price to come up further? I mean, I start looking at the bigger time from and say, okay, this this relatively equal highs there that I think potentially they're going to be a target. And start looking at price here and I'm saying, I can see this consolidation. I think, okay, obviously there there's all these lows that will eventually become liquidity. But I'm trying to assess who's in control right now. And I'm seeing the buyers currently are currently stepping up. And we're constantly getting these manipulations and ever since that manipulation and price pushed to the upside here, I had an inclination that price was going to keep being bullish, right? So instantly, when price came into this imbalance, I said to myself, okay, cool. I know price is going to react off this area. I know price is not going to just buy and fly up. There's big volume. This is a weekly zone of supply, right? This is a weekly, like price is going to react off it. There's no way in hell it doesn't. So when I see this, and I say to myself, okay, I'm I'm going to keep looking for buys, right? I look at this and I say, okay, I'm going to keep looking for buys. However, what we have to understand is that just because price is going to buy, doesn't mean it won't sell for a little bit. And what it does mean is that if it is going to buy, what it's going to do, it's going to, it's going to have two goals, right? Price is going to have two two clear goals. One is entice sellers into the move, and the other one is get rid of valid buyers into the move, okay? So even though price is going to buy, price needs to come back down to entice sellers into this move because then there'll be more, more orders within this area, and then we can manipulate them up, right? So I'm already thinking that. I'm already thinking to myself, I want to see a pattern like this. I want to see us come down and sweep early buyers out, entice sellers because then they'll look for break of structure. And get them out. Okay. So that's already a golden mine. So now I'm looking, I say, okay, cool. Where can price come back down to? Where can price come back down to? So I'm already looking and I'm trying to assess and I say, okay, let me look, let me look at a smaller time frame. Obviously we can see the daily. We had this big rejection. Price came into this daily and then we started pushing down, right? So instantly I start marking out areas. I say, okay, cool. We've had the manipulation of this daily. We're coming here. I want to see is there anything behind this daily, okay? I want to see manipulations as we said, manipulation of lows, Asia lows, daily lows, four-hour lows. So I want to see manipulation. So I'm already looking for a higher time frame manipulation because when we get when we're looking at the higher time frames, you almost have to imagine the bigger the time frame manipulation, the more power it will have, okay? The more power that the next move will have to keep pushing up, okay? Because there's going to be more orders behind those levels, right? So it's going to have more power. So price needs to come back to those key levels if it wants to break past something like this. If it wants to break past something like a zone of supply, like a daily zone of supply like this, it needs to manipulate a a bigger swing low, right? It needs to manipulate a higher time frame low. It can't just manipulate your 15-minute low, right? And as we can see, we've already had the manipulation of this daily. We've pushed down, but as soon as I see this, I say, okay, cool. This daily is going to get chewed, right? This daily is going to get eaten for breakfast. That's already what I'm I'm thinking. So, then I start, so then I mark out the low and then I start looking, a lower time frame. I say, okay, cool. Interesting. What do we see? We see this four-hour, okay? So this four-hour is interesting. Right. So this four-hour is interesting. We have, we've had the manipulation of this four-hour here. And then we've had this imbalance here, right? And price is now stepping down. We can see price manipulated this high. So we have a big manipulation and that's why we took out this low, right? We've had this was the manipulation that took it out and we've tapped into the sell. So when I see this, four-hour, because we've had the manipulation of this high and we've, we've now taken out this low and price is coming down and we have this imbalance and imbalance behind, I already see this as potentially a liquidity pool, okay? I look at this and I say to myself, this is most likely going to be a target. This most likely is not going to bounce off this and push up. Most likely, this is going to be a target, okay? So I say to myself, I'm, if I'm going to look for buy, I want to see price manipulate this and then do a move like so. Manipulate the low and then do a move like so. So then I I draw a line and I say to myself, okay, cool. I don't trust this four-hour. I want to see a move like this. Why would this be great? Because we'd be coming in, we'd be coming into this daily supply here, right? There's there's an eight-hour refined. We'd be coming in, manipulating this high, coming down, taking out these early buyers, coming out taking these early buyers, coming down breaking structure. Then people would be entice into the cell to take it further down and instead we take them out, right? Because they would have their confirmation. Cool. This is the era to continue selling and we're going to go down. So that's already what I'm I'm thinking. I I want to see something like this, right? So I'm thinking, okay, is there anything behind this low? So I start chopping down time frame. I say, okay, great. Great, great, great. Look at this now. We have this head and shoulder pattern where we know people would be trading this, right? We've had this sweep. People will be trading this supply, they'll be trying to target down. I see this I'm like, this is great. We have these these Asia lows. What we what do we know about Asia lows? They become liquidity. If you look most often, Asia gets raided, right? When Asia gets raided then the the other Asia gets raided, right? So I see this Asia low and I see this instantly as a liquidity pool. So I instantly discount all this demand, this demand. I I discount them all. I know they're in a four-hour block, okay? And I say to myself, cool. I want to see price sweep this and then I can look for buys. Then I'm interested in buys. Only once we sweep this. So then I ask myself, is there anything within this area, in this huge area that price can come back down to? Now, another thing we're going to take into account is this is there's this support, right? I don't trade support and resistance, but there's this this support level, right? I want to see if there's anything before that because you have to understand other people will then, if price got too deep, which it can obviously, but if price got so deep, a lot of people will start to buy this, wouldn't they? Because it's a support level. So then there'll be a lot of buyers waiting for their buys here. So my ideal scenario would be to get rid of any buyers here, but not let the buyers that are waiting here to get in. So I'm looking within this area, is there something within this area? So then I start looking at a small time frame. And what do I see? Perfect example of the order block that we spoke about earlier that I like to see with the wick. Look at that. A hammerhead order block, unfilled with the wick. Boom, with Asia there. It actually tapped it a little bit, but there's still so much unfilled wick. So this order block and you say, well, this is why don't you enter off this order block? You can see there's this order block here. And the reason why is because of the Asia lows. So the Asia lows, because I know that the liquidity pool here is so vast, right? I'm able to disqualify with these ones, these ones, these ones. I'm able to disqualify all all of them because of the Asia lows, right? And there'll be times where it's frustrating because maybe it just taps this one and doesn't go for the Asia low, but restricting yourself can really, really help you guys. And it's frustrating, but you'll be thankful for when you, when you're restricted, right? So instantly I'm able to disqualify all these lows. So then I look and I place my line there and I say, cool. I want to see price come into it, come into this wick, manipulate this Asia low and then rally to the upside. And as we said, guys, I put my stop loss just where the wick is, right? So I don't I don't go any further. It doesn't need to go further. I'll just I'll just put my stop loss there. Boom. That's where my stop loss goes, right? We can see the the trade actually taking place and forming. So, what's great about it is look how much imbalance there is as well. So we talked about, okay, cool. We were, we were in this daily zone of supply, right? This this move is happening in this daily zone of supply, but look guys, there's all this imbalance still to target. When I saw this, I was like, well, you haven't closed all the imbalance. There's all of this imbalance and there's imbalance further up here, right? So, when I see this, I'm like, okay, well, well, we still have so so many targets in here. And I look and I say, well, we also have an Asia high to target. So I'm already thinking, cool. We have the trend, we have targets. We have the order block that I look out for and we would be manipulating daily lows and we've been manipulating a four-hour order block. If we look at the daily as well, we'd be coming in, manipulating this daily low, so we have a perfect daily manipulation. On the 12-hour, we're manipulating two 12-hours and just tapping the the imbalance behind. Then you start looking at the eight-hour. We'd be manipulating this eight-hour order block, for the four-hour. So all of this lines up perfectly. And what does this look like, guys? The pattern that we spoke about earlier, right? Then we can see how the pattern's taking shape, right? that we spoke about earlier. This is great because we're getting rid of these buyers and these buyers and we're tapping in the gap before. We're coming down. We'd be not letting the buyers here get in because there'll be buyers here, people that are waiting for that support for price to pull back, right? They're going to be waiting for price to pull back low. Maybe they'll get their fibs out, right? And then they'll maybe be waiting for the for the golden zone to close more the gap. So, for me, that's everything, right? This is how you know it holds weight this kind on a 10 minutes is the same, on the 15 is the same, on the 30 minutes the same. On the 45 minutes the same. So I know this kind of order block holds a lot of power. So then I say to myself, perfect. Look, look, because once we got, you have to understand guys, once we got the the break of this, there'll be a lot of sell stop orders. There will be buy limit orders, of course. But once we got the break of that, people see this as a break of structure and this becomes their their entry criteria. Where they would take it further down and you'd have this beautiful head and shoulder pattern, right? forming. And that's how they would see it. But what would that become for us? A liquidity target. Because we're one step ahead of them. So then I'll I'll put my my cell stop there. I'll put my buy limit there, sorry.
[18:27]And then that was the target. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to hold because my uh, the Alpha Capital doesn't let me hold over the weekend. So, yeah, which was annoying. So, um, so I wasn't able to hold, but boom. Look what happens. Price goes in and then ends up going to the target perfectly. And that and that is one of the patterns that I love to trade. As you can see, it's these fake, they call distribution patterns. I don't know if you guys did off, but there's accumulations and distributions, right? Um, and basically, this is a a distribution pattern essentially, but head and shoulder. They basically head and shoulders, right? The head and shoulder pattern. the the the where actually is, is a distribution pattern taking off. So, so yeah, this the they call distribution patterns. But look, I love these fake patterns and these are the kind of trades I love. And that was, that was my target, but ended up, ended up being the the end of the day. So I I wasn't able to hold over the weekend. But that's that was my target to come into the imbalance. And that that's a 15 to one. And then price just kept ripping away and this is how if and then maybe if you're swing trading, if if you have a larger account, you can hold for that high 21 to one. I mean, this is how you can get some monster wrist rewards with things like this. And I didn't need any more of that way. Maybe some people would have. Maybe and this is the difference of just tweaking your your stop loss and knowing where your stop loss is correct or not. Because there'll be people that would have known this, would have had the exact same thesis, but they would have just maybe padded out to there. And all of a sudden, your 15 to one becomes a three to one. And granted you'll have times where you that that bigger SL will help you out. But this is when, you know, knowing which order blocks are powerful, really, really helps. And this is this is something I gauged with five years of experience of looking at the markets and then just being in clocking in every day, day in, day out. You just start noticing these things and this is one of the things I noticed. And this is how I've been getting payouts with Alpha Capital. And I'll show you my payouts as well, um, in another video if you'd like, if you if you want me to show you my payouts. But yeah, so this is a very powerful, powerful pattern, very powerful strategy where we we, as we spoke about earlier, come out, take out the early buyers, entice the sellers as well, and then get rid of them. And look at this, perfect example of enticing the sellers. Look what happened here. Beautiful wick. Price comes down. People thinking this is it. This is the move to take it to the downside. They're expecting price to to visit lower and it never does. It just entices them with this big wick and then boom. Goes straight through, goes through that high, ferocious. And this is a beautiful, beautiful pattern. I love these kind of trades. And whenever I see these trades, I'll make exciting. Obviously they don't always happen because price has to fall in a very different way. But just know they're very, very powerful and they'll happen in very, they're happening in similar ways and in subtle ways. I'll this is another one I got in down here. I'll break down that in another video just because otherwise it's going to be a very long video. But similar, similar concept with the sweeping out. You can see price sweeps them out and then it gets in.
[21:54]This kind of pattern will happen a lot. It'll come in different forms. And with experience, you'll be able to adapt yourself to the market conditions and to how it forms. But this is a very, very clean version of it, and I love it. And this is fucking golden nuggets, guys. This is going to got me so many payouts and it's brilliant. And it can get you monster monster trades. And when you then align yourself with the higher time frame, you can hold these trades. And I mean, look at it. This trade just fucking ripped to like nine, yeah, man. It just fucking 32 to one. Does it keep going? I can't remember. Please tell me it doesn't keep going because that'd be sad. No, it's not. It doesn't go. Don't. Cool. I mean, look at that. Price still respecting that level. I mean, look at that. Price it even so comes all the way down and respects it perfectly. And this becomes the new level that I respect. I mean, you can't tell me these kind of areas are not key areas because look at price. Not only did it react from there, it came all the way down and respected it. And ended up going to a freaking 50 to one. I mean, goddamn it, man. Goddamn it. So if we go back to the diagram that we showed, obviously it wasn't a stretch, but price was a little bit more like this, maybe, right? And it came down and we swept that four-hour, we swept that eight-hour, we swept the daily low, the two 12-hours, we came in, we came into that order block that we spoke about. Manipulated those Asia's. Boom. And then we pushed up. We had this target instead. Instead of equal levels there, we had instead of an equal level like this, we had the the equal highs. But even so, it happens. And sometimes you'll have it more stretched like this. Sometimes you'll have it, it's it'll be smaller like this, right?
[24:00]It doesn't always have to be like these kind of perfect, but that's the kind of pattern, right? The kind of impulse up, slam down, sweep out. Sweep people out and then push up and target for the highs. So this is one of the patterns I trade. I'll dive deep into the other ones as well. Um, we'll do next. We'll do, we'll do some other ones as well. I don't want to overwhelm you guys too much. We'll, we'll break some other ones down with different patterns, but this is how then you recognize all these different patterns. And you can imagine if now in the in the in your catalog, you have five, six patterns that you know are really powerful, work very, very well. You can then be adaptable and see, aha, this is that pattern. Aha, this is this pattern. Aha, this is that pattern. And you have to anticipate the pattern, right? When when price is in a certain area, you look and you say, okay, I'm going to look for buy buys. And then you start looking at key zones and you're like, aha, this pattern can form. This could be the pattern that forms doing that. That's how I got to that one. I didn't, I thought to myself, instantly I thought to myself, a week prior, a week prior to that trade hitting, I saw that that order block, and I saw where it was, and I saw it was such a good area because it would have swept so much. And I said to myself, this could be the pattern. And that pattern ended up playing out. So you you have to anticipate these patterns. Obviously, sometimes you don't, sometimes it happens in the moment, you're like, oh, shit. But it's good to anticipate them and the way you anticipate them is by identifying these order blocks. Don't just look for every single order block that looks like this. Look for that this specific type of order block, but look for it in a in a key area, right? Where there's a higher time point of interest, higher time frame point of interest or behind liquidity, behind specific order blocks. If you look at it if you look, look for them in specific areas, then you can anticipate these kind of patterns and you can look for them and you can see them. But yeah, this is one of the ways I trade forex and it's helped me get countless, countless payouts. Thank you guys for watching and let me know if there's anything else I said that was incorrect. Let me know if the I said anything that you didn't like, didn't understand, thought this guy's full of shit. Please, let me know.
