[00:02] my friend, also a trader.  And so I have been trading for 18 years.  And sitting at a table in a cafe, we decided to count how many strategies I had tried in total over all this time.  I calculated that there were approximately plus or minus 112 trading strategies over all
[00:17] time.  And this is not a metaphor.  I actually sat down and did the math.  Indicator, non-indicator, by waves, smartmania, by stars, by maps.  In short, I tried everything.  And out of these 112 trading strategies, only three turned out to be
[00:31] more or less good.  And in this video I will talk about these three trading strategies. In general, everything as you like.  No fluff, just the essence of concrete experience and
[00:43] your attention just a little bit, but you'll thank me for it later .  At the core of these non-working, well, how can I say, non-working, conditionally non-working trading strategies, there were 119 of them, there are inefficiencies at their core .  What is
[00:57] inefficiency?  Inefficiency is some kind of regularity or, perhaps, the emergence of some kind of pattern or, for example, arbitrage.  Something is more expensive cheaper on another exchange.  And we,
[01:09] for example, inefficiencies are related to price behavior.  Figuratively speaking, there were five candles in one direction, so there will be two in the other.  Such patterns exist.  But what is their problem?  Their problem is life expectancy.
[01:22] And God bless him, that these patterns, so to speak, will ever change there.  The problem is that it is not clear when they will change.  This can happen at the most inopportune moment.  As a result, money is lost.  By the time you realize
[01:37] has stopped working efficiently, you've lost a huge amount of money.  And in the end, you get these swings: "Where you made some money on inefficiency, it stops working, you start losing. Here you find a new
[01:51] these swings. In the professional environment, there is even such a, obscene, so if children are listening, please remove them. It sounds like jerking off the capital curve. That is exactly what it is , jerking off the capital curve.
[02:07] That is, the capital curve has grown, you earned something , then you lost it, it takes a turbulence took me years, probably three or four, no less. The reason again is that I was looking for inefficiencies, looking for some working
[02:20] trading strategies on the Internet, without trying to understand the essence. At first, these were some indicators, like the stock is overbought, therefore, you need to sell. Then there were all sorts of patterns, from head and shoulders
[02:33] to falling ones.  crows, stars, and so on. Then there were the waves of alleot, gan, astrology. And, in general, I experimented as much as I could. What I definitely didn't try to do was understand why the price actually rises or falls
[02:46] . That is, I didn't try to get to the root of the matter. And if we get to the root of the matter, this is a short presentation from another video, so please subscribe so you don't miss it. The market has
[03:00] capital, and this capital is combined in a certain way. That is, there are certain market mechanics. There are market orders, they are aggressive. There are limit orders, they are passive, they affect the price in slightly different ways. And all
[03:13] this together provides grounds for analysis. That is, by monitoring the price, by understanding who is currently dominant, buyers or sellers, by finding places of value, by reading volumes, you can make
[03:27] any, even the most idiotic trading strategy incredibly profitable. Therefore, all the trading strategies that I will describe further, they will all take these three into account.  Element: market mechanics, value places, and volumes. This is the basis of
[03:42] any trading, no matter what exactly you do. Market mechanics, value places, and volumes. So, let's move on to the first trading strategy. It's very simple, suitable for beginners. If you want to trade and you're
[03:56] interested in trading for beginners, here's a very simple trading strategy for you. Now I'll show you an example on a chart, but first, a short advertisement. Please don't skip it. Advertising allows us to be independent and help you
[04:09] make money in the market. Friends, I was a little disingenuous. We don't have advertising on this channel . We don't sell advertising slots. And this is due to the fact that we've make money on investments and we make money on trading. And
[04:24] quite successfully. It makes no sense for us to make money on advertising slots. That's why you won't find advertising on this channel . There simply isn't any. We make money elsewhere. I've been making money in the financial markets for 17 years now, and  For 11
[04:39] years, I've been teaching others to do exactly the same. If you want to make these, these, and these trades, please scan the QR code and check out my online school. We've been working for 11 years, completely legally. I don't live in Dubai,
[04:54] where everyone is a thief and scammer. I'm located in Russia, and if my activities were illegal, there would probably be a ton of criminal cases and civil lawsuits. But nothing of the sort exists because we work
[05:07] importantly, we provide high-quality knowledge that allows you to earn money in the financial market. After our training, you'll not only be able to understand the market but also significantly improve your
[05:20] quality of life. In particular, I live in a huge house with a sea view. I think you can achieve the same with the help of financial markets. Scan the QR code and increase your wealth. Here's a chart. It shows
[05:35] my trade. I earned this much on it . This is classic day trading.  And this was my entry point to buy. And then came the fractional exits. The account is real. It is very rare to take such ideal trades
[05:48] , because there are not always trading signals. There are good trading signals in other trading strategies, more frequent ones, but they come a little later. What are such trades based on? All trading strategies are based on
[06:01] several principles that I talked about. The first is the place where the trade is executed. The second is volume, and the third is price behavior. That is, the very mechanics of the market. So, the first trading strategy. As a
[06:15] location, we use the minimum and maximum of yesterday. When the price approaches the minimum and maximum of yesterday, the volume should increase. At the same time, when the volume increases, we do nothing yet. What is important for us is to see at
[06:29] the end a series of candles that contract with a subsequent impulse in the opposite direction. Our entry point will be here, on this impulse, or a little , stop-loss and take-profit.
[06:42] leverage, stop-loss and take-profit are essential. A stop is set essential. A stop is set for this model. Take-profit is one and a half to two times larger than the stop. Fractional exits are also allowed , that is, when we exit
[06:55] in parts. You know, I tried, regarding take-profit, I tried following this classic story of 1: TP. It worked, that is, there were moments without it, but a lot of trades just missed me. That is, the market reversed, did not
[07:10] reach the take-profit, and then reversed. So at some point, I sat down and calculated, and I realized that it was easier for me to take a small take-profit than to hope that I would ever get somewhere around 1 kt, 1 kp, 1:6, and so on. And, you know, I
[07:24] started taking a short take-profit, and things started to work out better. That is, the number of profitable trades gradually increased. Now how can I use this in more detail? Here you set the minimums and maximums  Yesterday. So, a
[07:37] new trading day has opened. You have several options. The market either rebounds from yesterday's low or yesterday's high, or breaks out, bounces back. And our task is to enter here. Both
[07:50] examples are correct. I understand that it now sounds like the market has three directions: up, down, and sideways. And, in fact, this option, this option, and this option can happen. But this strategy does not
[08:03] assume anything else. That is, you don't need to analyze trends or understand what's happening on a high timeframe. You simply look at where the breakout was, and wait for a reversal pattern, and then make a trading decision without complex
[08:16] analysis. This is a strategy for beginners. If you want more profitable trades here , you can then add other analysis methods, like liquidity capture. And this, by the way, is my second trading strategy. The second trading
[08:30] strategy is liquidity capture. Levels are used as a place of value . Next, as volumes, we need to see when the market The level is broken on high, increased volume. And the price action is such that
[08:45] the market breaks the level on high, increased volume, then sharply reverses, returns behind the level, and we enter a buy position right here. This can be done using a step. That is, when the level is broken
[08:59] enter here on the step. But now there are almost never steps, so we simply enter mechanically. Since we are trading with leverage here, we set our step-loss and
[09:12] take-profit. The take-profit is on this drop, if there was one. If there was no drop , it is twice the stop. We set the stop behind this pattern. Here is an example of such a trade. I made this much money on this trade. The market formed a
[09:27] level. There is a move beyond this level. A breakout occurs on high volume. A step appears here, that is, a new low appears higher than the previous one. To be honest, I wasn't at the terminal at the time. I was just having lunch.
[09:40] When I returned from lunch, I saw that we had already taken off. I'm here  I'm buying right at the highs. Here's the first exit. I was a bit hasty. And here's the last exit, when we've already broken through to the next level. Another
[09:53] downward movement, a volatile breakout, the appearance of volume, a rebound with a return either behind the level, or, as in my case, the appearance of a step. Stop. We set a take profit here, either twice as much or at the next level. In addition to
[10:07] liquidity captures at levels, liquidity capture can also occur during the breakout of various patterns, like head and shoulders and so on. Basically, everything that the crowd uses, for example, technical analysis patterns or blocks from
[10:21] SmartMoney. And the third trading strategy, you 'll criticize it very harshly because it's quite complex, you won't understand it right away. That is, it's more for people with a little more experience. A
[10:34] thread is used as a place of value. A thread is a series of small candlesticks within, well, a very small spread. That is, when the market, well, well, a thread, in short, very thin thread, that's what the thread should be. I'll show it on the chart a little later
[10:49] . As for volume, when the market moves toward this thread, and we, of course, use this thread as such a large range, we should see an increase in volume. That is, the volume should be increased. And thirdly, we
[11:02] enter when the market goes in the opposite direction. For example, you have a thread here, we touch this thread and here we enter directly in the opposite direction. As for stop-loss and take-profit, as in previous cases,
[11:15] the take-profit is two, three times larger. So, why does the thread work? A large participant uses limit orders. Limit orders are a wall for barrier. Imagine a big ball.
[11:29] You throw the ball, the ball hits the wall, the wall is limit orders, that is, a large position of a large participant, and the ball bounces. Exactly the same thing happens in the market. Imagine that here at  You have a large position with a major
[11:41] participant. The market becomes locked in. It can't go up or down. It starts trading here. It moves up and down, up and down, within a small movement, that is, back and forth, back and forth. Our task
[11:55] is to identify this area and use it as support and resistance. Here's an example, look. Here we have an example of a thread. Here is an example of a thread. The market is locked in a small thread here. Here is another example of a thread. The market, you see, is also
[12:09] locked in. It turns out to be in a narrow range. Then the market moves down, breaks large volume to appear. Now we have volume, we do nothing yet. That is, we need a third criterion - a reversal. So far, there has been no reversal
[12:24] . Then we have a reversal. Here is my buy entry point . And then the subsequent exits followed. I exited fractionally. I'll tell you about fractional time. You exit in one go. It will be easier that way.  You have no experience. And here's the
[12:38] next exit. Look, if the market, for example, had shown us a rebound here, we would have entered here, but there was no rebound here. The rebound appeared example. In real trading, unfortunately, you're not always at the
[12:51] terminal. Last time, it was the same story. And here too. That is, . Here, I entered a little later, when the situation repeated itself. With a stop for this model and a stake twice as large. Three different strategies, but
[13:05] if you look, they all share a common DNA. Firstly, they are all based on liquidity, they are all based on market mechanics. Secondly, they react to what the market shows. They don't try to predict. That is, we are not
[13:19] forecasters. Most people make a huge mistake. They try to predict what will happen to the price. No one knows that. All we can do is watch the market and react along with it. That is, react to those  The capital
[13:31] Thirdly, this all works in any market. I showed you examples on oil futures, because I'm actively trading it now due to the geopolitical situation . But before that, I used this perfectly well on
[13:45] dollar-ruble futures, and it all works quite well on crypto futures. And most importantly, it doesn't matter what timeframe you use it on. Well, without going crazy. Obviously, I'm showing intraday examples, that is, five-minute timeframes.
[13:57] I recommend you don't go below a minute . You simply don't have the skills for it. You can move up on higher-daily timeframes , you can trade on weekly timeframes, wait a long time. This works on all other timeframes, with
[14:11] some nuances, of course. And fourthly, risk management is the same everywhere. You'll notice that there are stops and take profits everywhere. Take profits are always the same, plus or minus stops. In logical places. That's exactly what
[14:24] works. Three strategies, one common philosophy that doesn't try to predict the market, that starts reading the market together with major participants, along with the liquidity that exists in this very market. Here's something else I'll recommend. I
[14:39] have a great VKontakte group. There you get a community, that is, a group of thinking people who make decisions, who look at the chart and try to make money on this very chart . Not some idiots, not
[14:52] cryptocurrency drillers who look at memes or something, but smart men, grown men who will try to make money together with you, analyze the market. I'm there too, sometimes I reply to comments. So
[15:04] scan the QR code, meet me on my VKontakte. Good luck. Make money.
