Let me show you what I mean. Now, looking at this, this is a general structure. We have a [music] breakout structure here. This is the breakout structure. We are meant to retrace and [music] move down. Simple. That is what we expect. So, how did I take this trade? First, I know [music] that there is an order block here because of this fair value gap we have here. So, I expect the market to retrace to this point and pull down to this to this point and pull down to this particular point. Okay, to get here first. I should find a way to trade it to this particular point. And this [music] is what we have here. So, we had a breakup structured this way. the same thing is meant to retrace down and move up right and that is exactly what's [music] happened here. So this is the order block on the 15 this is the order block on the 15 minutes time frame actually. this order block this is where I enter the market then we went up my first [music] take profit happened here and something happened today. Today is [music] CPI day meaning at this point we're having CPI. So what did I do? I move my stop loss to this particular [music] point because on CPI day the market can come down or it can go up. So I move my stop loss here. So even if it [music] start coming down I am out good. But what happened was that just shot up my TP was done. He entered another [music] trade here because it's an other block here. And right now we are going down. I'm in profit. [music] But then again, since we have a general bullish movement, I already have my stop loss at break in case this [music] didn't work. Again, trading can be really, really sweet if you know what you are doing. I sweet if you know what you are doing. I said this is a $4,800 trade, but within this price action here, actually make a $7,000. And I want to show you that. We already And I want to show you that. We already know that it's a breaker structure and when we get [music] inside here, we should enter in this order block and move [music] to this target which is what happened. what happened. How then did we make a $7,000 [music] within here? It was really simple. So, we move down to a lower time frame because where [music] we are interested in is just this particular point. This [music] is a trade that I took. So within here you can see that if I move down lower to a 3 [music] minutes time frame what did we have here simple we had a break of structure here simple we had a break of structure here and this then becomes our order block as our order block but I entered on this second one this our order block here so take a long position from here stop loss at the bottom and if [music] stop loss at the bottom and if [music] we just target this high over here. This [music] particular high, you can see, are you seeing it? Zoom in. You can see, are you seeing it? Zoom in. You can see we have a $7,000. So, within this trade that you saw me take. Okay, this one, this big one is a $4,000 this one, this big one is a $4,000 trade. This one is $7,000 trade. And we are now currently in this one. >> [music]
