## Summary

The video presents a day trading strategy centered on the 10:00 AM market open, using concepts of accumulation, manipulation, and distribution to identify high-probability trades. The creator demonstrates the strategy on a 1-hour and 5-minute timeframe, incorporating a fair value gap entry and a custom Fibonacci tool for profit targets. The video concludes with backtest results showing a 66.67% win rate and 44.4% total profit over 20 trading days.

### Key Points

- **The 10 AM Market Phenomenon** [00:00] — The creator claims that a specific market event occurs every morning at exactly 10 AM, which can be exploited for profit. He shows charts of the past 9 trading days to illustrate this recurring pattern.
- **Core Strategy: AMD** [00:24] — The strategy is named 'AMD' (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution). It involves identifying a period of sideways price movement (accumulation), followed by a liquidity grab (manipulation), and then a sharp move in the opposite direction (distribution).
- **Step 1: Establish Market Bias** [01:36] — Using the 1-hour timeframe, the trader determines the overall market trend. Lower highs and lower lows indicate a downtrend, while higher highs and higher lows indicate an uptrend. This bias guides the trade direction.
- **Step 2: Focus on the 10 AM - 11:30 AM Window** [01:50] — Trades are only considered between 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM Eastern Standard Time. This time window is marked on the 5-minute chart with two yellow lines, and only setups occurring within this period are valid.
- **Step 3: Identify Accumulation and Manipulation** [02:18] — Within the yellow lines, the trader looks for accumulation (sideways movement) followed by manipulation. For a bullish bias, the manipulation must be a move to the downside, which is seen as a liquidity grab.
- **Step 4: Enter at the Fair Value Gap** [02:46] — After manipulation, a large price spike creates a 'fair value gap' (FVG). The entry is placed when price retraces back into this gap. The stop loss is set below the low of the manipulation move, and the initial take profit is at the recent highs.
- **Optimizing Take Profit with Fibonacci** [03:16] — To improve profit targets, the creator modifies the Fibonacci tool settings to specific values (0, 0.79, 0.62, 0, -1, -2, -2.5, -4). The levels -2 and -2.5 are colored red, creating a 'red zone' for taking profits.
- **Applying the Fibonacci Tool** [03:45] — The Fibonacci tool is drawn from the low of the manipulation move to the most recent high. The red zone (between -2 and -2.5) is the recommended area to take the majority of profits, especially if it aligns with other confluences like buy-side liquidity.
- **Backtest Results** [04:44] — The strategy was backtested over 20 trading days, taking 15 trades. The win rate was 66.67%, and the total profit rate was 44.4%. Starting with $100,000 would have resulted in a profit of $44,406.91.
- **Promotional Segment** [05:27] — The creator promotes a copy trading feature on Hankotrade, claiming to have turned $50,000 into $231,000 by following top analysts. This is presented as a separate opportunity from the main strategy.

### Conclusion

The video provides a structured day trading strategy based on the 10 AM market open, with clear entry and exit rules. While the backtest results are promising, the strategy requires discipline and a clear understanding of market structure, and the promotional segment should be viewed with caution.

## Transcript

Every single morning at exactly 10am,  something specific happens in the market.   And if you get good at spotting it,  you can make a ton of fn money.   For example, here are the past 9 trading days. But, if you look closely.  
At exactly 10am on all of these  charts, are strategy is taking place.   and I will even prove that to you by sharing  my own personal private backtest results at  
The main component of this  strategy, we will be using is AMD.   I m talking about amd the trading strategy. Its really pretty simple actually.  
You basically want price to move  sideways or to consolidate like this.   Which is called accumulation. There will be resting   liquidity above and below these areas. Which will give us fuel for a big move.  
Next you want some form of a liquidity  grab to the upside or downside.   it needs to manipulate to the downside first. If the chart is going to move lower,   its need to manipulate to the upside first. Once price manipulates in either direction,  
it tends to sky rocket to the opposite direction. Which is the distribution.   Which gives us accumulation,  manipulation, and distribution.   Now, if the market is bullish. You re going to see an open,  
to see an open, a high, and then a low. This concept is what s going to help us   predict what the market will do next. BUT, we have some important steps we   Go to tradingview, if you don t yet have  it, I ll put a link in my description.  
To do this I like to go to the 1 hour timeframe. Usually, this will be pretty clear to spot.   If the market is making lower highs,  and lower lows. It s a downtrend.  
clearly bullish, so that will be our bias. Next step, go to the 5 minute timeframe   We are only going to look for  trades at exactly 10 am to 11:30   That s eastern standard time. Or 30 minutes after the market opens.  
So we are going to mark this  time zone with two yellow lines.   One at 10 am, one at 11:30 We only look for a trade setup   inside these two yellow lines. If a trade setup happens outside  
if the setup happens inside these yellow lines. Since we have a bullish bias we want to see two   things happen inside these yellow lines. Accumulation, and then directly after,   movement or in other words, accumulation. So we re good there.  
Next we want to see some manipulation. Since we have a bullish bias, this manipulation   needs to head towards the downside. Which is exactly what happens.   Once both of these things happen, we need  to look for a spot to enter a trade.  
I prefer finding a fair value gap for this. A fair value gap is simply just a large jump   in price where there is a gap between  the candle before the big more and the   After our manipulation to the downside,  we see a large spike in price.  
This is where our entry will be. Wait for price to come back down to this gap.   Set our stop loss below the low and  set our take profit at the highs.   Boom you got an easy winning trade. But we ran into a slight problem.  
But there s a little trick you can do in  order to get even better take profit areas.   Next go to the settings. Make sure you're on the styles tab  
And youre going to want to change these values  to 0, 0.79, 0.62, 0, -1, -2, -2.5, and -4.   Make all these values grey Then make -2 and -2.5 red.  
Now going back to our previous trade example. We still have the same set up with accumulation   at our fair value gap for our entry. You re going to grab your Fibonacci tool  
Mark from the low of the manipulation  move to the most recent high.   This red zone is where you should be  looking to take the majority of profits.   It s even better if this red zone is in  alignment with some other confluences.  
In this example, it aligns with our buy side  liquidity, which is absolutely perfect.   Now instead of taking profit at this level like  we did last time. We now set our take profit at   this red zone as we also know it aligns  with a confluence on a higher timeframe.  
Now if you know my channel at all, I like to  test my strategies before sharing them with you.   So basically I do all the vigorous  testing, using countless hours of my life,   and test the strategy day and night to see if the  strategy is even profitable in the first place.  
While you eat a bag of potato chips and get to  see the results within a couple of seconds while   I backtested this strategy for a whole month  and the results are absolutely shocking  
But before we get into the backtest results,  let me show you something real quick   So a couple of videos ago, I said I was going to  test this copy trading feature on hankotrade.   It s basically a feature that allows you  to copy top performing trading analysts  
them and their win rate. All you have to do is simply click   this follow button and it will automatically  take all the trades the analysts takes.   I tested this feature with $50,000 a couple  months ago and my account balance is now 231,000  
Yes, you heard me right. 231,000   Just from clicking a follow button They also just released a mobile app so you   a link to hankotrade in my description. Let s get to those backtest results shall we?  
to start with and I let it trade using the  parameters of the strategy I just taught you.   The chart had to have accumulation  and manipulation. And it had to  
happen in between 10am and 11:30. I tested this strategy for a total of   20 trading days and it took a total of 15 trades. Which means, the chart fit our parameters for   our strategy 15 out of the 20 days. Or 75% of the time. So as you can see,  
this setup happens pretty often. Within these 15 trades, it had a winrate of   66.67 % and had a total profit rate of 44.4%. Which means, if you started with $100,000 you  
would have made $44,406.91 In 20 trading days.   DM on Instagram and let me  know how it works for you.   Thanks for watching and ill  see you guys next time.
