[00:57] up our chart properly. For this strategy we use 1 minute candle time frame and always trade with one minute expiry. Indicators we need number one zigzag Indicators we need number one zigzag indicator deviation five depth four

[01:12] backst step three number two and three two simple moving averages. Period three set this to white color. Period six set this to red color. That's it. Just three

[01:24] this to red color. That's it. Just three indicators. Simple and clean. Now, before we get into the trading rules, here's a quick but important risk reminder. Trading always involves risk and you can lose money. This video is

[01:37] for educational purposes only, not financial advice. Always practice on a demo account first and only trade with money you can afford to lose. Trade responsibly. All right. Now, let's get into the exact trading rules. Please

[01:52] watch this section carefully and follow the rules exactly as I show you. Sell trade rules. For a sell trade, you need three conditions. Condition one, the zigzag line must be sloping downward. Condition two, the red moving average

[02:06] crosses above the white moving average. Condition three, price is near a resistance level. When all three conditions match, enter a sell trade on the next candle with 1 minute expiry. Remember, all three must be present.

[02:19] Don't take the trade if even one is missing. Buy trade rules. For a buy trade, you also need three conditions. Condition one, the zigzag line must be sloping upward. Condition two, the white moving average crosses above the red

[02:34] moving average. Condition three, price is near a support level. When all three conditions align, enter a buy trade on the next candle with 1 minute expiry. Again, patience is key. Wait for all three signals. Important safety rules to

[02:50] protect your capital. Always follow these safety rules. Never trade without checking support and resistance first. Avoid trading during major news releases. Do not overtrade. Quality over quantity. Use proper money management.

[03:04] Always start with a demo account before going live. These rules will save you from unnecessary losses. Now, I know keeping track of all these rules while trading can be tricky, especially when you're just starting out. That's why

[03:17] I've created a free step-by-step checklist PDF that breaks down every strategy. You can download it right now from my Telegram channel. The link is in your phone or second screen while trading for easy reference. If you're

[03:32] finding this helpful so far, go ahead and hit that like button. It really helps the channel grow and reach more traders like you. All right, now comes the most exciting part, live chart examples. I'm going to show you real

[03:45] trades step by step so you can clearly see how to enter correctly and how to avoid false signals. Let's jump into the charts now. Carefully observe this setup on the chart. The zigzag line is clearly pointing downward showing that the

[03:58] same time, the red moving average crosses above the white moving average, which confirms that the bearish momentum is active. Price is also reacting near a resistance area which gives us an extra layer of confirmation. Since all three

[04:13] rules match perfectly, I take the sell trade with one minute expiry exactly at this candle. Now comes the real test of patience. Right after entry, the candle does not fall immediately. And this is where many beginners start to panic.

[04:28] Some think the trade is failing. Some want to exit early. But this is exactly where discipline separates beginners from smart traders. Watch how the price tries to move slightly upward, but every time it moves up, it gets rejected by

[04:42] the moving average zone. This tells us that buyers are weak and sellers are still in control. At the same time, the zigzag structure remains downward, which valid. Now, the candle finally moves strongly in the expected direction.

[04:56] Price breaks downward and closes below our entry level before the expiry, which confirms that the sell setup worked exactly as planned. That's one winning trade. But was it just luck? Let's look at another example where the market

[05:08] behaves differently, but the same strategy still works. Watch this. Now, carefully observe this trade setup on the chart. Here, the zigzag line has that the market has started showing buying strength. At the same time, you

[05:23] crossing above the red moving average, which confirms that bullish momentum is entering the market. Price is also reacting near a support zone which gives us an extra layer of safety for a buy entry. Since all the buy conditions are

[05:36] aligned, I place the buy trade with one minute expiry exactly at this candle strictly based on rules not prediction. Now comes the most interesting phase of the trade where patience is tested. After entry, the price does move upward

[05:51] but not in a straight line. You may notice small pullbacks and pauses which often create doubt in the minds of beginners. But this is completely normal market behavior. The important thing to watch here is this. Even during small

[06:03] pullbacks, the price stays above the moving average zone and the zigzag structure continues to form higher points. This tells us that buyers are still in control of the market. Now you can clearly see how the candle continues

[06:15] in the upward direction and closes above our entry level before the expiry. This confirms that the buy setup worked exactly according to the strategy. So friends, this is how this simple one minute strategy works in live market

[06:28] conditions when you follow the rules with discipline. Remember, always practice on a demo account first and trade responsibly. If you found this video helpful, like the video, subscribe to SAM Trading Strategies and turn on
