My style of trading is all of them. Doing top down analysis helps. I can draw out my swing POI for longer term, draw out my intraday levels on daily h4 and h1, i will scalp and day trade into those POI's, depending on how price reacts on the lower timeframe at the Higher timeframe level, i will either hold for a swing/close or wait for reversal
I have a great trend trading 1hr entry system. The thing is waiting for all things to line up can take ages. You also have to deal with more fakeouts. Now I trade 4hr breakouts. More weekly trade setups less stress. Check the charts 3-4 times per day. Caught 65 pips on GJ long yesterday 😎 Sometimes less is more
Tbh you made the right decision switching, from my experience and human nature, we are designed to take every opportunity we see, especially if you follow the one pair one timeframe scalping, we know less is more and with the higher timeframe, it teaches you discipline to be patient and wait, also you can risk more because there is less room for error and it gives you more freedom, no point taking 20 trades a month when you can swing a trade and add positions to it
It takes courage to say this publicly Will. You always preached 1 tf, 1 pair, 1 set up, 1 session. And now you moved to another strategy. It is so courageous of you to say it publicly. You put your skin in the game and that is why you have my respect. I have been thinking of swing trading since February, because I didn't have a set up with my strategy since....I'm very grateful for your opinions. Thank you.
I recently made the switch from swing trading for 5 years to scalp trading this year. I found it super difficult to swing forex pair end of 2023, my strategy, which was profitable for 2 years straight literally had a terrible hit rate. One thing I will say though, is once you have experience, switching to another style of trading is fairly easy, I am now back into profits and I like scalping better because onc I take my win, Im out of the charts for the rest of the day. I found swing trading to be more stressful for me aswell, looked at the chart too often when I had an active position
I think a lot of people later in their trading journey make this transition. I’m working on doing the same 3 years in. There’s a lot of bullshit that occurs with trading lower timeframes like the points you mentioned 💯
@@juENTERTAINMENT I see what you mean 100% in terms of price action but there’s a lot of external issues that come with trading lower timeframes like spread and slippage that aren’t an issue when you have larger stops from trading higher timeframe. Things like getting stopped out from spread despite price not actually reaching your stop loss are the fine margins that can ruin your edge.
@@matthewhope7421 Try futures if spread is the main thing. If you're doing the analysis on higher timeframe u just have to read what price is doing on the lower time frame in accordance to the POI u drew on the higher timeframe. It's quite straight forward. You will see a lot of liquidity grabs and pools on lower timeframe that should give u an idea on where price could draw to.
It's an illusion that "it's just easier to see setups" or "when it breaks on 4h, it is clear". Ask somebody to show you random timeframe charts displayed in the same scale. You won't be able to spot the difference between 5m, 4h or 1 week chart. They are all the same in their charakter. It is true though that you don't need to watch out for news so much and you pay less spread/comission money.
@@hazzell9974 1) By what measure? 2) Every price movement that is seen on m1 is also present on h4 chart. So if there is "noise" on m1, there is the same noise on h4. You just see it as one candle, not twenty candles. But it's all the same price movement.
Dollar cost averaging on HTF's such as 8hr/12hr/D is best. Focus on your sizing(low size) as your strategy not your technicals so much. Better yet combine both. Look at your setups how an investor would.
6:49 I’m actually adopting the same strategy as the one I watched in the video. Initially, I was trading three times a day. However, I’m now shifting towards longer time frames and limiting myself to just one trade per day. Surprisingly, that single trade yielded better results than all of my previous days with three trades.

Hey, im from Ara’s community and it’s been a rough 1st quarter but we started out q2 with a banger! Excited to see you and Mack Gray on the journey of Swing Trading with us!
I did the same, I used to use the 1 minute tf for entries, now I use atleast the 30min above for my entries which increased my win rate from 40% to 90% and also an average RR of about 4, Goodluck bro
Swing trading is better because it puts your mind at ease since you aren't as worried about daily movements since you are expecting to hold for more than a day maybe a week or more. So it's a just set and forget type of trading and you can spend far less time looking at the charts and do other things with your life. Everything you have said is so true.
Awesome! Good luck with your new adventure will! I recently changed to swing trading. I now enter on the daily. At first it is hard to adjust but I much prefer it already
I am a swing trader, for sure it takes less time and stress than day trading. Something you need to know is that fundamental analysis will be as important as technical analysis. You need to have a good understanding of the economy. I personally trade forex, indices and commodities. Good luck bro, love the content 💪
Another Fantastic Video Will, Always makes my day when you upload brother! If the strategy is returning 3-5% per month wont it be super annoying and take ages to pass a prop firm?

@@jukeseyable go trade oil or US30 and keep it open through weekend and you will surprised by monday lol... yeah they warned us already if it will carried high swap but I've never thought it would be that high... held 1,5 lot oil then -$700 swap... I don't talk about swap here anyway but daily drawdown... the5ers is the best and I still trade with them but not for swings...
It's just how you can manage your trading. You need more screen time then something is wrong with your system. Day trading ain't sustainable for me since I have a life to live. If you know what I mean.

Scalping is low risk/high reward. 15/30k month is easy.
@@UniDeathRaven If 15/30k per month is easy, why isn't 150/300k per month also easy?

it's no such thing as timeframes, market structure, or trading strategies. It's all just fractal candles.

Having the same thought of switching to swing trading. Currently sitting in front of the charts 10-12 hours a day and it's definitely unsustainable.
"If you believe that then... you need help" 🤣🤣
So true. So many people need help 😊

1. I have more time, 🤗
2. I'm calm, 😌
3. Waiting for the market 😏

When you get a payout from a propfirm is there a charge when it gets converted to uk pound ?

You chose the right path... Welcome home
Which broker do you use for your personal account?
swing trading is so much more chill
Please make a review about prop firm that allows you to swing trading with balanced based daily drawdown, not equity... Thanks, Wills!
im not sure that exists, but in my exp, the 5%ers have the best5 swap fees of any of the props

How many pairs are going to trade? Feel like you need more to get a+
setups
as a swing trader i trade across 16 pairs, 6 x usd pairs, 6 x JPY pairs, then the EUR and GBP crosses
that's the Ara's effect
True .
1;10RR or even 1;20RR is nothing to a swing trader
You can get one or two trades and you done for the month
with scaling in, it can be more, ive managed 30, but these are the exceptions. stops come to break even allowing for another entry same amt of risk
Been watching currency pros lol
Be interesting to see how quick can pass challenges doing it though
tori trades switch to swing, paladin is planning to switch, i notice this bandwagon effect by content creators..😅
scalp/session trading
yo i like this trader, keep it up!
Glad you enjoy it!
You make very informative videos, something you go on garbage runts like now but its ok...😂
Trade crypto derivatives, it's better
You take 1-3 setups per month. Why would you want to even shorten that screen time even more
shutup
Multiple pairs
what brokerdo you use for live trading
I trade the same way as you. 1-3 setups per month.
