The strategy is built on three fundamental keys: understanding market liquidity, trading during specific high-volatility sessions, and using a multi-timeframe approach. He emphasizes that most traders fail because they ignore liquidity, and he provides a step-by-step example to illustrate his method. ### Key Points - **Introduction and Credibility** [00:01] — Benjamin introduces himself as a trader with 7+ years of experience and over $390,000 in payouts from funding accounts. He mentions a recent withdrawal of over $20,000 in June using this scalping strategy. - **Free WhatsApp Community** [00:41] — He promotes a free WhatsApp community where he shares daily content and explains his strategy in more detail, encouraging viewers to join for long-term profitability. - **First Key: Liquidity** [01:09] — The most important key is knowing where market liquidity is located. Without this, traders will never be profitable because big players (banks, institutions) hunt stop-losses to fuel their own orders. - **What is Liquidity?** [02:28] — Liquidity is where the money is, accumulated in stop-loss orders at highs and lows. The price must absorb these orders before continuing its intended direction. - **Liquidity in Buying Scenarios** [03:20] — In an uptrend, most traders place stop-losses below the last low. Therefore, liquidity is below all minimums. The price will likely sweep these lows to trigger stop-losses before continuing upward. - **Execution Rule for Buys** [06:27] — To buy, wait for the price to eliminate a previous low (sweep liquidity) and then enter. This is because big players need your stop-loss to match their buy orders. - **Liquidity in Selling Scenarios** [08:03] — For sells, the opposite applies: wait for the price to eliminate a previous high (peak) before entering short. The price will often take out highs to trap traders before continuing down. - **Second Key: Scheduling** [11:17] — Trade only during high-volatility sessions: London Stock Exchange opening (9-11 AM Spain time) and New York Stock Exchange opening (2-4:30 PM Spain time). This is when institutions execute orders and price moves most. - **Why Scheduling Matters** [13:10] — Trading only during these windows increases volatility and reduces the number of trades, preventing over-trading and bad habits. It also allows for a balanced personal life. - **One Session is Enough** [15:19] — You don't need to trade both sessions. Benjamin himself only traded one session while working as a security guard. One session is sufficient to be profitable. - **Third Key: Timeframes** [16:12] — Use higher timeframes (Daily, H4, H1) to identify liquidity zones (break of highs/lows). Then drop to lower timeframes (M1-M5) to execute entries, typically M1 or M2. - **Step-by-Step Example** [19:10] — Using GBP/USD, he shows how to locate liquidity on H4 (a peak), wait for price to sweep it during the New York session, then drop to M2 to find an entry based on an imbalance (FVG). - **Imbalance (FVG) Explained** [21:14] — An imbalance forms when in a sequence of three candles, the wick of the first and third do not overlap, creating a gap. This acts as a magnet for price to revisit before continuing. - **Entry Execution** [22:33] — He recommends entering the closest imbalance to get a tighter stop-loss and better risk-reward. He prefers manual market execution over limit orders to avoid spread issues. - **Risk-Reward and Conclusion** [24:48] — He suggests a 1:2 risk-reward ratio. The example entry was at 15:18 Spain time, within the New York session. He encourages backtesting and joining his community for more details. ### Conclusion The strategy revolves around three pillars: understanding liquidity, trading only during high-volatility sessions, and using a multi-timeframe approach to enter on imbalances. By following these principles, Benjamin claims to have achieved consistent profitability, and he encourages viewers to replicate his method. ## Transcript complete scalping trading strategy that I've used to become quickly. My name is Benjamin and I have been dedicating my time to trading for over 7 years . And I have currently withdrawn over 390,000 in payouts with funding accounts. And look, we don't have to go that far. In June of this year, I withdrew over $20,000 from funding accounts using this same scalping trading strategy that I'm , if you want to achieve the same results as me and finally be profitable and get results in trading, stick around because I'm going to reveal absolutely everything. But before we begin, I'm going to make a brief aside: link that takes you directly to my completely free WhatsApp community . I upload valuable content there every day and explain my trading strategy in more detail. So if your goal is to be profitable in the long term with trading, I advise you to join, as it is 100% free. This scalping trading strategy is based on three fundamental keys, and I'm going to explain it very briefly and easily so you can perfectly understand what these three keys are based on, which of course you need to know to get the most out of this strategy. The first key, for me one of the most important, is knowing where the market liquidity is located. This is something that many people don't take into account, many people overlook, and enter the market blindly. If you don't know what liquidity is and where all that market liquidity is located, let me tell you, you'll never be profitable. Not today, not tomorrow, never. Because? Because this is tomorrow, never. Because? Because this is fundamental, this is the most important thing fundamental, this is the most important thing of all. Liquidity is the most important thing. If you don't know where it's located, if you don't know where the big fat cats, all the retailers, that is , us, are catching you, you too will be caught by them and all your stop-loss orders will be liquidated. That's why it's so important to know what it is and to be able to identify where all this liquidity is located . This is truly the most important thing of all. What is liquidity? So basically, where is the money? The market moves, as you well know, it moves through money. If there is no money, the market will neither go up nor down, because this is the fundamental thing. For the market to go up or down, the fundamental thing is liquidity, where all that liquidity is found, because the price first has to absorb all those stop-loss orders, all that money that has accumulated in the high and low price zones. And then once the price has taken those liquidity points, that money that was already there, those stop losses, well basically the price then returns to where it wanted to be. Therefore, the first thing you need to understand is where the liquidity is, where that money is, the money that the market needs to move. Well, it's something very basic and very simple; you have to keep in mind that anyone who has been trading for a short time knows this. If you want to enter an upward trend, or if your favorite guru has told you to enter into a buying phase, they usually tell you that you have to look for an upward trend. Okay, if you're going into buying, imagine you want to buy on a retest of this upward trend that's been painted for you, what are you going to try to do? You can protect yourself at the last low of that impulse. In other words, if I'm going to explain it better so you understand it perfectly, if the price is, according to what those gurus tell you and explain, that they are not profitable, let me tell you that the vast trading are not profitable, they never show you any payout certificate. I, however, am always completely transparent and always show all payouts. To give you an example, as I mentioned, in June, more than $20,000 was going to explain to you, and I'm already explaining it so that you can replicate it main intention of the video, that you replicate everything I'm telling you so that you too can get results. If you 're seeing an upward trend, the most obvious thing they're telling you is to look for this purchase here, right? Because the price is going to keep going up. In other words, if the price has respected all these lows, and is having higher highs and higher lows, this means that the price, well, it's going to keep going up. Okay, if you make a purchase, where are you going to protect your stop loss? Well, the most common thing, what the vast majority of people do, is to hedge with their stop loss below the last low that words, if you're looking to buy on this pullback to keep raising your stop loss, the vast majority of people, including you, will place their stop loss below this low. Therefore, we already know where those stop-loss orders are located, we already know where all that market liquidity is, all that accumulated money that is there in the market, in pending orders. Of course, if everyone places their stop-los below this minimum, where will the liquidity be? Well, liquidity is going to be below all the minimums. Below all the minimums. This is in the context of purchases. What is Well, delete all those orders. In other words, if you've made purchases, minimum. The most coherent thing the market can do, the most coherent thing for big fish, those who really move the money , to do is first to eliminate all that the price is no longer going to continue rising, but rather will continue to fall, to eliminate all those stop-los and then continue with that upward trend, with that rise that the price had originally programmed. Therefore, what it will do is kick you out of the trade, take your money, put you on stop-loss orders, liquidate your position, and then continue the real movement, the real momentum. Therefore, liquidity is at its lowest point in the search for buying opportunities. To execute a purchase, if you want to place a purchase, you first have to wait for the price to eliminate a past low, a previous low, and then look for your purchase here. Because? Because the vast majority of people hedge at the last low, place their stop loss below here, remove all these stop losses, the big players, the big fish, those who really move the money, the banking institutions and investment banks, and then continue. Because? Because they need your liquidity, they need your stop-loss order to match their upward orders. Therefore, what you are going to do in this strategy, which I will show you some examples of later, in fact, some real examples that you already have explained on because it has tons of WhatsApp community which you have below, or Instagram, where I upload examples every day because this happens every day. But even so, in understand them perfectly. Right now I 'm teaching you the theory so that the example, you'll all understand. I'm not going to explain an example to you right now because you don't understand the basics and you don't understand the three main keys to my strategy. Therefore, in summary, at this point, liquidity is found when you are looking for purchases that are at their lowest. You have to wait first for the price to eliminate, to clear a past low, a previous low. And now you'll say, "Okay, this is for buying, but sell, what price should I expect to execute a sale?" Well, this is liquidity in purchases. In other words, you have to wait for the price to first eliminate, to liquidate a minimum before looking for buys, but when you go to look for sells it's exactly the same in reverse: when the price eliminates a maximum, when it liquidates all the stop-losses, all the positions at the maximums, then it will distribute, then it will head downwards, towards looking for sales, when you want to look for sales, what you have to do is wait for the price to eliminate a peak. Now I'm going to explain it to you briefly. Therefore, to generate sales, what we are going to do is exactly the opposite. Normally, you've probably been told that when the price follows a downward movement, when it's supposedly in a downtrend, a bearish structure, the price will retest and continue its fall. Therefore, if the price retests this area, you will most likely look for selling opportunities in this area and hedge at the last high to look for a new distribution, a new selling opportunity. What usually watching this video, because you keep losing money. Basically, what happened to you many times, because it also happened to me in the past until I formed this trading strategy, is that the price will first trading strategy, is that the price will first take your stop loss, take the previous high and then fall sharply. What the price is most likely going to do is fool everyone into thinking that finally, hey, the bearish structure is over. It breaks your last high, it kicks you into lamenting, this isn't for me, trading isn't for me, I've been deceived, just like that . The reality is that the price has simply trapped you and vast majority of people continue to lose money in trading and still don't get results, strategies that are useless. Because? Because they don't take into account liquidity, which is the most important thing of all, liquidity. Therefore, the price will first eliminate those stop-los, eliminate the high, gather all the liquidity here, and then continue the downward movement. These are manipulative moves. The price removes the last peak and then continues distributing. I'm sure that this has happened to you more than once, more than twice, more than three times, more than 10 times . It takes your stop loss, takes your money, and then keeps going down and you complain because, damn, it took me out two pips, this can't be, this is against you, mate, it's that the market, the big players, the banking institutions, the investment funds need your capital, they need your liquidity, they need the money of the vast majority of us to continue their positions so they can make money. Therefore, they need to expel, they need to liquidate the vast majority of people, and since the vast majority covering themselves at the last high and the sell, the price first has to eliminate those highs and those lows, those stop-los, that money and accumulated in order to then finally continue with that movement that the price really wanted . These are phases of manipulation, phases of deception. This is the first concept, the first key that you have to understand perfectly. Now let's move on to the second key to my strategy, which is scheduling. You have to keep in mind that the market has vast majority of money, the vast majority of volatility, is, where banking institutions and investment funds are executing orders, receiving, and sending bank transactions. Therefore, the price usually moves very strongly during those time periods. That London stock exchange, for me the main ones, the two fundamental ones are the London Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange the London Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange . Obviously, the stock market is open for longer than I'm going to explain here, but the most important thing, the fundamental thing, is those openings, those first hours where volatility reaches 100% and where the price moves most interests us, because in the vast majority of cases the price tends to move more intensely during these hours, at these openings, okay? This is fundamental. What time zone does London time cover? Well, from 9 time cover? Well, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Spain time. OK? From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Spain time. If you're from any other country, these days, dude, with CHG GPT, with Cloue, just go in, do the time conversion, it's super easy. And then the New York session easy. And then the New York session runs from 2 pm to 4:30 pm, Spain time. Again, don't be lazy, don't be idle. BHGPT and ask him what these times are in your country, or in any other part of the world. This is Spain's time. From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., opening of the London Stock Exchange , Spanish time. And from New York from 2 pm to 4:30 pm, Spain time. These are the only times we will be trading. This is fundamental and something you have to burn into your brain . This is important for two reasons. First, there is greater volatility, there is greater volatility, this is fundamental, okay? And the this is fundamental, okay? And the second reason is fewer trades. And you'll say, "Hey, Benjamin, is it really a good thing to operate less?" Yes, it really is very, very good to trade little. Why do I say that schedules are important too? Apart from the fact that, of course, it's where there's the most volatility, basically because if you're only there for 2 hours in the morning and 2.5 hours in the afternoon, what's going to happen is that you're not going to trade have a schedule, then obviously you're going to spend a lot of time in front of the charts, in front of the market. And what this is going to happen, what happens to the vast all day on their mobile phones. All day on my phone, executing trades and seeing if they can be entered, if not, if the trade happens, if I don't have a close it? I open it and there's news, right? Exactly . Your wife is already a bit fed up with mobile phone. Your son is fed up with you because you have n't paid attention to him, and he's getting bad grades in his degree because you're studying. Your boss has because you're constantly on your phone. To avoid all that, it's important to have schedules and know that from 9 am to 11 am I the mobile screens from where you operate, and from 2 pm to 4:30 pm as Because this will only cause over-operation. having bad habits like spending all day looking at graphs. This is not good. And what this is lot of money. You have a lot of trades and you'll probably lose more trades than you win because you're spending all day on the computer. And apart from what I explained to you first, volatility, the greatest the major players, the banking institutions, the investment funds transactions. When are those times? Well, in the first hours of opening of the London Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. That's why it's important to have trading hours, believe me. And now you're probably asking yourself a question. Hey Benjamin, but I can't operate both sessions . What do I do if enough. In fact, when I worked as a security guard, I only operated one session. Because? Because the other one worked, I had to take care of my personal life, my family, my partner, my parents, my house, shopping, cooking, had a job, which was as a security guard, I only traded during the hours that my job allowed me to operate. It was either the London session or the New York session in operation. You rarely operated both sessions because had a job like you and everyone else. Therefore, believe me, trading for just one session is more than enough to be 'm not a scholar, I'm not the smartest person in the world, so you can do it too. And now we're going for the third key, and of course, even though it's the last one, it 's no less important. What is the third key? Well, the timeframes, basically where we place the liquidity and how we enter, how we execute that operation, because understand that, although I'm everyone understands perfectly how I timeframes. Something you need to understand is that I'm talking about liquidity, I'll put it here so you can understand it. I look for liquidity in the look for liquidity in the to smallest so you can understand it much better. Daily 4 hours and one hour. These liquidity? I've explained it to you before, but if you've been while you were watching, then I'm going to explain it to you again. Liquidity, what we're basically looking for is that when the price breaks a high, we look for sales, and when the price breaks a low, we look for purchases. This is liquidity. Well, I look for this liquidity, these scenarios on the daily chart, on the these scenarios on the daily chart, on the H4 chart and on the H1 chart. This is very important and you need to understand it perfectly as well. As with everything, if something isn't clear, I have two pieces of advice: either watch the video again or completely free WhatsApp community linked in the description, where I also explain my strategy completely free of charge. Therefore, the time frames I use, the seasons I use to allocate liquidity, are daily, 4 hours, and one hour, okay? And to execute my entry I go down to a lower timeframe, which is what we call scalping, although what I really do is a symbiosis between the higher timeframe of daily H4 and H1 to look for liquidity as lower timeframes such as 1 minute up to 5 minutes, understand it too. My input runs range from M1 to M5. Therefore, in summary, once the price has liquidated a point of liquidity, an important point on the 4-hour to 1-hour daily chart, I move down to a lower timeframe to execute my entry. That shorter time frame is from M1 to M5, that is, I can look for the entry in M2, in M1, in M3, in M4 and in M5. I usually find the entrance in M1 and M2. These are usually the in M1 and M2. These are usually the post within the times I've already mentioned to you. a.m. and New York session opens from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Now that you know the three key points, let's analyze an example step by step so you understand it perfectly and put all the terms and these three key points together so you understand everything well, which is the purpose of the video, that you understand everything perfectly and replicate it in your strategy and finally achieve these results that I have already achieved. We are dealing with the pound dollar currency pair, GBP USD, and what we are going to do is analyze exactly what I have mentioned to you. We're going to put it all together and understand everything and see how we're putting all the concepts together, those three key points that I've already explained to you, and I'm also going to teach you how to execute the trade in explained to you. What do we have here? What I've explained to you, first of all we're going to do is locate the liquidity. The closest liquidity is found at the highs. This peak here, the 4-hour time frame you're seeing up here, we have this peak pending. The nearest minimum is still quite we have this peak pending. The nearest minimum is still quite course, that the price will touch that minimum. Therefore, we mark , which in this case is this one here. And note, we see earlier how the price has already executed our strategy a few hours ago, okay? pending the 4-hour season. The price was set to liquidate it. We're going to the one-hour season and we'll see it. He went to reach that peak and look how he came down with brutal force. Therefore, in 4 hours what we have is this look for, which is what I clear this zone within the times I already mentioned, the opening of the New York Stock Exchange, and here we go down to a lower timeframe, okay? Therefore, that's what we're going to do. We're simply waiting for the price to drop so we can switch minute season, which will eliminate the maximum, and then we can lower the time limit so it doesn't become so tedious. OK? That's where it took us the longest. Let's go back so we can all look at it together and you can understand it perfectly. And time frame I mentioned to you, the time frame of 2 [snort] time frame of 2 [snort] minutes. We see that the price clears that what I'm looking for: a shorter timeframe to execute that entry. OK? What am I looking for here? Let the price create a boost and create a three- candle imbalance. What is an imbalance? Basically, the price in a sequence of three candles creates a gap, an imbalance, a FVG, an imbalance, call it what you want. For example, this one here would be an imbalance, okay? This would be an imbalance, but to seek purchases. In this case, as I've already eliminates a peak, we look for sales, not purchases. Therefore, I'm simply giving you this imbalance as an example, okay? I'll briefly explain this imbalance to you: how it forms, what it is, how you generate it, and how Basically, a sequence of three candles, one, two, three. The first candle, which would be this one in that sequence of three candles, and the third one do not touch. As you can see, the wick of the first candle and the wick of the third candle do not imbalance , an FVG, call it what you want . This is usually a magnet for the price, to go and mitigate it, to institutions, from investment funds, and then continue its trajectory. because the price has eliminated a 4-hour seasonal high, we're going to sequence of three candles to look for sales, okay? Therefore, simply put, we expect that imbalance. It's already been generated here, okay? We would have the first one and here we have the first possible entrance, this one here. If the price continues to fall without mitigating that, notice that here again it has created another imbalance, this one here. OK? Therefore, what we are going to look for here is we have two options, either get into this first wait for this one here first. Many of you will ask, "Well, what do I do in those kinds of situations, in those kinds of doubts? Do I choose the first one, do I choose the second one? What do I do?" Well, what I usually do and what I usually explain price. In other words, if the price is currently at this candlestick, and I see this imbalance here, I'll enter a great to pick this one because it gives us a tighter stop loss and a juicier take profit , but there's a possibility that the price will hit this point, move away, and leave us hanging . Since we don't want that, since we want to make money, we'll just go into the one that's closest, okay? We're entering this one. This might activate for you too, but since I don't know, since I'm not a fortune teller nor do I want to money, I don't want anything else. I couldn't care less about guessing or not my entry to go to tip profit and simply take the entry. this to subside. That mitigates it for me, although it's not all the same to me. I'll put in a slightly larger SL and that's it. Okay, that would be the entrance, alright? One impulse, one We have two options: either we set a limit order so that when it touches it, it activates and goes down, or once it enters, we execute the entry. I'm more of a second type, and executes the entry. Because? Because that way, if there's a bit of a spread or whatever, I'll activate the order. However, if you have a limit order, what can happen is that, due to the spread or any other circumstance, the trade may not open; you may have reached the zone, but it may not open due to the spread or out of the trade. Okay? Here, however, if it's your turn to execute manually, you execute from the market, you're either in or out. The spread doesn't matter, and absolutely nothing else matters. Therefore, that's what I recommend. OK? I enter my operation like this. You can go for a profit ratio of one to two, or if you want to extend it further. But anyway, what I recommend is one or two because that way you don't have to worry I recommend is one or two because that way you don't have to worry our risk-benefit ratio of 1 to 2. And note that the entry time is the optimal one, the one I mentioned to you. 15:18, 3:18 PM, Spain time, before, London, 9 AM, 11 AM, New York session 2 would be by putting together all the concepts and all the key points that I have already mentioned to you. So, backtest it, check out my YouTube channel where I have many more videos, you can find me on Instagram @bilesdealgo, and again below in the description you'll find a free class explaining all this in even more detail, plus you have access to where I share valuable information and education about my trading strategy results and finally become profitable and make a living from trading. That's all , I hope you enjoyed it and see you in the next video.
