## Transcript

trade, and in this video I'm going to explain how I did it and which trade it was so you can understand it perfectly and replicate it.  And of course, I'm also going to explain to you step by step the strategy I used to achieve it.
So if you want to achieve these same results, stay tuned to this video because I'm going to explain absolutely everything.  If you don't know me, I'll introduce myself quickly.  My name is Benjamin and I have been dedicating my
time to trading for over 7 years.  To date, I have withdrawn more than 380,000 from funding accounts.  And as always, I like to speak from transparency and truth, so I'm going to leave dozens of payouts here so you can see that it's
totally true.  Furthermore, I have withdrawn almost $50,000 from the well-known funding company FTMo and also more than $90,000 from the well-known company Alfa Capital.  two of the best
known and most famous companies in the funding industry.  What's more, I've even been the funding industry.  What's more, I've even been in the top weekly payouts at Alfa Capital twice, and I'm leaving you the two tables and
screenshots here so you can see that it's absolutely true and that you can achieve these results too , because I 'm neither an expert nor the smartest person on Earth.  On the contrary, a few years ago I was a
security guard and earned around €1300 a month, so, as I said, I 'm not a very intelligent or studious person, I just know how to trade.  And that's why I'm here today, to teach
you how to trade the way I do it and how you can do it too.  The first thing I'm going to explain is the trade itself, how I took it, how I analyzed it, and the total profit it made, which was more than €11,000 in total in a single day.
Moreover, it happened in one afternoon because the trade was caught during the New York session, was caught during the New York session, which in Spain is from 2 pm to 4:30 pm, although I'll explain that later, but now
I want to get to the important part, analyze the trade perfectly so you can see how I caught it and then I'll explain why I caught it and what my trading strategy is based on.  The trade I showed you, with which I obtained that
showed you, with which I obtained that total profit of over €11,000, was in the manipulation of this maximum we have here in the euro-dollar currency pair, because I only trade the euro-dollar.  I'm sure that on more than
analyze many pairs, many assets, stocks, futures, everything you want, but the reality is that, like everything in life, the less the better.  Quality is better than quantity.  That's why I've been
trading only one asset for quite a few years now.  In this case, I trade Forex and in this case I trade Eurodollar, the currency pair with the highest
volume and the most transactions in the market, because they are the two most important currencies in the world, the euro and the dollar.  In this case, I took this trade based on the manipulation of this peak you
see here, which was also a peak where there was a lot of liquidity and also where there was a lot of liquidity and also something important is that it was the peak of the previous day or, in other words, the previous daily high, the PDH,
basically.  What does this mean? because the maximum of the previous day.  There is a lot of liquidity in the market here, there are many stop-loss orders, many take- profit orders, and many limit entries in both buying and selling, so it is
highly likely that when the price breaks through that zone, it will react quite strongly in the vast majority of cases.  And that's where majority of cases.  And that's where my operation is based on manipulations,
on liquidity gathering, which lately there are a lot of people talking about regarding the liquidity of so-and- so.  The reality is that the vast majority of people who spread and share this content have no idea, and I'm not
making that up.  You go to their social media, their YouTube channel, their Instagram account, social media, their YouTube channel, their Instagram account, and they have no payouts, no real withdrawals from funding companies.  So everyone you see on social media
shares content, but doesn't show you any funding certificates, like, for other people who do too, but the vast majority of people who share trading content don't show because they are not profitable.  Don't listen to those people
because if they don't share their real earnings, their audited certificates from funding companies, it's because they don't have it, and if they don't have it, they're not profitable.  So, if you try to teach me something that doesn't produce results, it's pointless.  It's like
results, it's pointless.  It's like taking my car to a doctor to have it repaired instead of a mechanic.  It makes no sense.  So, what did I do that day?  How did I analyze the euro-dollar exchange rate on that particular day?
euro-dollar exchange rate on that particular day? Basically, I marked an outer high where there is a lot of liquidity, a lot of stop-loss orders, and waited for the price to clear it.  I would take over that area and basically kick everyone out of the market,
manipulate all those people by stealing their money, and that's where I came in, by stealing their money, and that's where I came in, manipulating that liquidity zone.  This is very important that you understand.  Where is it housed?  Where is
all that liquidity?  That is found at the maximums and the minimums.  That's where everyone or most people place their stop loss and Basically because you have no other way to protect yourself in the market.  When you
enter a selling or buying operation, you normally protect yourself at the last high or, if you are buying, protect yourself at the last low.  What's going on?  Well, the price is going to attack the
interbank algorithm; it's going to attack those zones to take money from everyone, all those stops that are there pending.  Once it collects all the money from those stops, it moves in the right direction.  The first thing
the price does is manipulate, and then it goes in the right direction, and that's where we attack and position ourselves.  And this trade was an example of that.  Therefore, what I expected that day was that the price would reach
that high we found here, that liquidity zone.  And as you can previous day because the trade I took was on April 17th, as you can see here and as I've shown you in the trade that I'm going to put here, the €11,000
profit.  Here the price had this maximum available from the previous day and therefore this means that we have a higher probability that the price will higher probability that the price will reverse, make a reversal to the
we are looking for.  When it exceeds a maximum, look for sales, and when it reaches a minimum, look for purchases.  That's what we're looking for.  After the price takes all those stops and manipulates all the people, that's when
we get involved in the trade, when the price has already eliminated all those people and all their money. Then you need to be clear about two things: the vast majority of higher probability trades occur in the
a.m. to 11 a.m., and in the New York session from 2 p.m. to 4:30 country, simply convert the time with CHPT or put it into Google and it will
easily and quickly tell you the times you should be watching we're looking for the price to settle at a high or low during the New York or London session.  In this case, this trade, this manipulation of
a peak, this liquidity gathering and manipulation was done in the manipulation was done in the New York session on the 17th and collected all the liquidity from the peak of the 16th, the peak of the previous day, as I
mentioned before.  And now you might say, "Okay, and once the price reaches the high and absorbs all that liquidity you had there, how do I enter the trade? With a limit order, with a market order. What do I have to do?"
Well, basically something very simple: what we're looking for is for the price to looking for is for the price to generate an impulse and an imbalance. What basically, an impulse is when the price actively and
clearly shows that it doesn't want to be in that area. In other words, a strong downward rejection. And the second thing we'd be looking for is an imbalance, that is, a gap between the first and third candlesticks. As you can see, in
these three candlesticks we have here—the first, second, and third—these two wicks don't touch. Well, that's an imbalance, and in this case, what we're looking for is for the price to generate it downwards. This would be a buy signal.
give it to us downwards. That's what we'd because obviously  We're looking for selling opportunities. We sell above highs and selling opportunities. We sell above highs and buy below lows,
vast majority do. Most people buy when a price breaks a high because they believe they're in an upward trend and sell when a price breaks a low because they believe they're in a
downward trend. The reality is that everyone loses money, and everyone does the same thing. That's why we have to start differently, with a counter-thinking approach. When everyone believes
something, it doesn't happen, especially in trading and investing. When there's so much money involved, the price, the market, can't do what everyone wants because if it did, everyone would make money, and that's impossible. So,
you always think differently, and you'll be right, just like in life. Here, we see that the price doesn't create the imbalance we're currently observing. We're above the high, above that liquidity zone. And what
we're waiting for is for it to generate exactly what I 'm telling you. As you can see...  As you can see, this is the first time the price has created this gap. And as you can see, this would be the first possible entry point. How do I enter?
Well, I always enter at market, whenever the price touches this gap we have here. The moment it touches it, you could perfectly execute your order. Where would you protect yourself? Well, at the
last high the price created. Obviously, this entry is quite risky because it's the first imbalance the price leaves, the first gap, right? So, this is quite risky, but it's okay because
the price will leave these zones, these traces, for you to enter on more occasions. In fact, it has already created two more. Here we have the first gap, and here we have the second gap. A gap is the same as an imbalance, okay? It's
exactly the same thing, so you could already be entering at three completely different entry points. Here, here, here, or right here, whichever you prefer. Let's say you entered here because you didn't
see it. Of course, you didn't like it.  Boom, we're entering the third gap, the where do I put my take profit?"  Where do I exit?  Where is the next liquidity zone?  Well, the next
have entered into sales, we will be we entered at a high looking for sales, where would we place our final TP?  Well, at the next liquidity point, at the next minimum we
have available.  For example, we could consider these ones we have here.  Or you can do this, which obviously I'll be leaving you with a one-to-one trade, almost a one-to-eight, you can be watching it here.  Or you can
always go for a risk-reward ratio of one to two, which you can also always do, okay?  Don't change suddenly, okay?  Today I'm looking for the TP at the last point, today I'm changing the 1, 2, or 13, no, always stay in the same
zones, in the same risk-benefit ratios, because otherwise this can greatly vary your results.  And the most important thing in trading is to be consistent with your way of operating, with your trading strategy. Personally, to earn these 11,000,
Personally, to earn these 11,000, what I did was withdraw at the next liquidity point.  And notice how the price, after sweeping through that liquidity zone, that peak, that peak of the previous day, plummeted with
brutal force.  Here we are seeing the trade, how it went perfectly, respecting our entry at all times.  And notice how on many occasions the price gave you different tickets.  You could have come in here, here, here, here,
here, here, here, here, here.  Look at all the possible Notice all the imbalances, all the gaps that the price leaves you with, and you can gradually incorporate yourself into all of them. Obviously, don't enter 30,000
can join in this one we mentioned.  You can search for your 'a' or your 'a two', personally, to obtain all that profit that I have shown you, more than €11,000, obviously had to stretch the take profit much further and I
stretch the take profit much further and I personally let it run until the next minimum liquidity, which is the one I have shown you here.  Notice how it manipulates the maximum and how it finally manipulates the minimum.  It first absorbs
all the liquidity, all the money, all the fuel in the peak market and then goes after the next victims.  Who are those victims?  Those who have their stop at the next liquidity point, these lows that we have
here.  But notice that this doesn't happen just once, but look how here we have another example where the price reaches this high we have here and falls and then goes to the next liquidity point which is this one we have here.
The price manipulates this point, it falls; the price manipulates this low, it rises; the price manipulates this point, it falls very sharply.  This is absolutely
crazy, and this is how I operate.  And here you can see how I practically entered the trade at 3 or 4 in the afternoon and it gave me the profit at approximately 8:15 or 9:30 , that is, in about 4 or 5 hours more than €11,000, an absolute
beast.  That was practically what I earned as a security guard in my old job.  This makes no sense, the strategy, how easy it is. 've shown you throughout the presentation
find on my Instagram @bilesdealgo, this is the strategy with which I consistently achieve results, the one I use to trade professionally, and this makes no sense.  How simple it is, how easy it is to
interpret, and how easy it is to enter the market.  And listen, with just 2 hours in the morning or 2 and a half hours in the afternoon, when I used to work approximately 12 hours a day in my job as a security guard, from 7 in the morning to 7 in the evening
or from 7 in the evening to 7 in the morning, 5 days a week, and in a single trade, in about 5 or 6 hours, I have earned practically what I used to earn in a year.
practically what I used to earn in a year. This makes absolutely no sense, really.  I invite you to replicate it, to backtest it, and believe me, summary, what is my strategy based on? Basically, it's about selling when the
price breaks a high.  Here we look for sales and buy when the price breaks a low.  This one we would have here, which I have explained to you, by the way, in the noticing, the price eliminates this low and reacts.  Eliminate this maximum
and react.  Eliminate this maximum and react.  This is what we will be looking for in the strategy.  And then something else that's very important is that we have to focus a lot, a lot of attention on the operating hours,
interbank algorithm sends and receives bank transactions and that's where those extreme volatility movements are generated .  What are those hours? London session, 9 am to 11 am, Spain time, and New
York session from 2 pm to 4:30 pm.   You do n't need to trade both sessions.  In fact, I don't do it.  If I make a profit in London or I make a profit in New York, you don't need to trade both sessions.  If, due to your
you can only trade one of the two sessions right now, that's more than enough. Both the one in London and the one in New York.  You don't have to look any further.  And the next thing is that when the price exceeds, liquidate, eliminate all that
people, you will have to look for what I have told you.  Obviously, there I personally will keep to myself because I'm not going to reveal everything, but this is one of the most important and believe me, you can get results
in a very simple way.  And hey, I've shown you my results, I've shown you dozens of payouts from funding accounts, I 've shown you the trade I took.  And I'm 've shown you the trade I took.  And I'm not the only one doing this; I'm also going
to share with you some students who have caught this same trade, because I share in real time what trade I take, what trade I don't take, how I do it, where I protect myself, and where I set my take profit in my private community.  And
many students that same day obtained and caught this trade in the same direction, at the same time and at the same moment, because that's what it's about: helping people to finally achieve profitability in trading and
who knows if in the future they might dedicate themselves professionally to it.  Hey, at the very least, earn a good extra salary. This is the end of the video.  I hope you liked it understood it.  If you have any questions, you can leave a comment, and if I can't
Instagram, which I'll leave below in the description, or well, I'll leave it here: @bildealgo.  And if you want, you can follow me there, because I'm always trying to my trades, explaining everything for free.  You have my direct messages
can help you and lend a hand in resolving any doubts you may still have.  I also invite you to backtest this strategy that I have taught you so that you can see that this is completely
true and viable.  So if you want to replicate my results, replicate my strategy in its entirety.  That's all for now, I hope to see you in the next video.
