I assume targeting the high of the B leg would be the safest bet but how do you distinguish how long to hold? I'm assuming it depends on multiple factors but anything in particular? Like a previous or current day high, VWAP, a certain EMA, etc, anything like that?
You can make a backtesting with the concept of "harmonic retracement", which says that the legs would be approximately same distance. Lets say the A leg is something around 10 points, once B leg is over you can enter and aim for a 10 point upward move. It works generally but ofcourse backtesting is always important@@DriftEntry101
@@DriftEntry101 it could any number of things but your exit will ultimately be determined by price action (or if you're into indicators, a chandelier type stop etc) but remember when you do look for these trades, leg A has to take out the previous high and leg B cannot take out the previous low this is the most basic trend trade. higher highs and higher lows...otherwise its not a trend trade. thats all ABCD trades are
@@DriftEntry101 You wait for a horizontal consolidation and then enter once it's broken. Some important points include post and premarket highs and lows.
Hi, may I know what did he mean by the top of those bars creating a clean trend line? does it mean it is not a sudden drop or like trading within a v narrow range?
@@jinjielim789 look at how the down candles do not form higher highs etc. they remain in character and continue lower lows and lower highs. this way, a higher high, for example, is a more obvious change in character.
@@jinjielim789look at the red bar, how clean the trend line is, straight angle line, now imagine the green candle is the red candle now, would you have say that’s a clean trend line? No because it is so jagged and you can’t draw a nice straight angle line down. Hope that helps
I have traded this method it works great, for me personally is like a 35% win, you just got to be disiplined keeping the stop loss tight and prepare mentally to handle the drawdown
35% win would be pretty tough to handle for me personally. Have you tried tweaking it or having some other confluence factors? Higher time frame, etc.. Ty
@@RommyAli my sample was over 4 months and little more than 200 trades all in real time, the key for me was winning 3 times as much risk.. i risked 300 to make 1000 on NQ on a tick chart and i found hard to have consecutive days stopped out, which was also key to maitain the risk reward in control, because i could not take 2 stops a day. So emotionally taking a hit and closing the computer was challenging but necessary, i ended up swimg trading as i found it more suitable for my mental enviroment 👍but the system is profitable is just very hard to not overtrade you have to keep emotions in check and respect your plan 100%
@@RommyAliwell depends how you look at it. Imagine you put 1 Lot on the trade with a tight stop, something like 3-5pips. You lost 65% of the time but the other 35 it runs for like 25-50pips. It could be a huge edge in the playbook.
you should only take the setup if the high of leg takes out a previous high whether its a continuation or change in trend and the b leg cannot take out the previous low. then you shouldn't have to be in the market very long and your win rate will go way up
This works equally well for index futures, but i only trade mid market session ie from 30 min after open and i dont trade the last hour of the cash market
I am curious what your strike rate data looks like when using a break out entry at the "turn" versus a stop entry covering the entire pullback (leg B), as I can imagine some false breaks on leg B could cause some L's - would be curious to know
You can also draw the bottom trendline as well, sometimes it also bounces up from that. Whats great about this is that you can set your stop loss very tight, if it breaks the bottom trendline you get out, while the reward potential is at least the top of the last green candle.
Made over 5k this week buying a heavily shorted stock multiple times that had good news come out. On every pullback, almost a given shorts would exit pushing the stock pips higher.
If you’re scalping on 1 minute candle sticks. Closing the entire position is probably best. And look for more scalping opportunities… Some people close portions of their positions and move their stop losses to break even or the previous candle low/high of their trade… in general when scalping your trades will generally last anywhere from like 10 seconds to a couple hours… imo
I think it’s a good way to look at it but honestly I just got on the 1 minute chart and scanned through for a while and I did not see any set ups like that at all? Am I missing something
half at the break of high from leg A and then the other half when momentum slows. Hard to condense everything into 1 min video. This short clip is part of our new scalping program we are putting together

Good short. I have been noticing a lot of descending/ascending triangles lately.
This is a long lmao jk.
lol.. this is perfect for when you catch the 1 time a month this actually happens.
On the 1 minute chart? Really?
@@Eli-zg3tj yeah this happens daily. not the same magnitude or market. but it happens all the time...i dunno what theyre talking about LOL
I say let the first green break the high of the previous red for entry and the low of the red for your stop, IMO
I like this strategy. I will try it and test it
Loosing trading will drop negative comments. Winners will backtest and see if it works for them
in otherwards a bull flag lol and it holds even more weight if it flags down into a demand or support level, holds then breaks the flag. money baby
But make sure there is no strong support or resistance on the trading if so it's will turn total opposite
Superb 😊😊
Omg 😱 love it!!
On what time frame is this?
Is it this the same as doing a elliot waves analysis and doing an entry in the second wave ( that is supposed to be a trend) or am i seeing it wrong?
Looking for rules in chaos, IMHO
Super power🔥

Do you sell the profit amount, or the entire position, or does it depend?
If you’re scalping on 1 minute candle sticks. Closing the entire position is probably best.

Where should we be taking profits at?!?!?
half at the break of high from leg A and then the other half when momentum slows. Hard to condense everything into 1 min video. This short clip is part of our new scalping program we are putting together
1:1 risk to reward minimum
What does the "buy program" mean here? Is that algos buying? If so, why does that buy program stop for the retracement?
Probably short-term traders taking profits,..rinse n repeat
How about the risk?
I have the problem with this kind of video, we don't know which time frame it's better to identify caddlе

Nah..just buy in from the previous low and let her run thru a shallow break down…on the return what until past second down turn and sell out
