Introduction and Account Setup
Alex introduces himself and shows his trading account balance of $160, emphasizing that he is starting with a small amount to demonstrate that viewers can try trading on their own.
[01:09]
First Trade Setup
Alex identifies a downtrend with the price hugging the lower boundary of the channel, and Parabolic SAR confirming the downtrend. He decides to bet $95, noting there is no sign of reversal.
[02:15]
Second Trade and Entry Point
He places a $150 bet, observing that the oscillator supports the downtrend, but the entry point was not great. A tiny green candle with a long head and tail indicates sellers are not letting buyers grow.
[03:13]
Profit from First Trades
Alex reports a profit of $138, bringing his total to $288. He attributes success to the oscillator showing large volume pushing price above the Keltner midline, but volatility tightening.
[03:55]
Pattern Recognition
He highlights a pattern where every next peak is lower than the previous one, which was the main reason for his trade decision.
[04:20]
Third Trade and Long Position
Alex notes price is holding above the Keltner midline and Parabolic SAR is in the air, indicating a long trend. He places a bet, visualizing a fight with lasers, and later reports $330 profit.
[06:00]
Final Trade and Account Growth
He makes a final bet of $350, going long because there is space until the level of 18.87064, which was tested and bounced back. He expects price to grow to that level again.
[06:44]
Closing Remarks and Promotion
Alex explains that detailed explanations are difficult during live trading, and promotes his Telegram private group for learning. He ends with a final profit of $1,427 from the initial $160.
The video demonstrates a practical trading session where Alex grows a small account through careful analysis of technical indicators, but it heavily promotes his Telegram group and lacks in-depth educational content.

[00:28] $100. 1,000 No, I'm having $160. What the hell am I talking about? But yeah, maybe someday I'm going to be making video But for now, I'm just, you know, I'm going with a little amount, so you can
[00:42] try that on your own. However, of course, my help always is there for you in the Telegram private group. The link for that is in the description below. Don't
[00:56] forget about it. So, don't forget to leave a like. Subscribe to my YouTube channel. Let's go.
[01:09] didn't mention that, but I'm having 100 No, I mentioned that I'm having $160, settings and the reasons why I'm using exactly these indicators in this video or some other indicators in other videos are in my Telegram private group. So, if
[01:24] are in my Telegram private group. So, if you are going to be the half. I mean, as most of the times. Let's make it 95. Uh what I see right here, there is no
[01:40] hint or not a sign of reversal, and the candle is kind of hugging the lower boundary of the channel. And Parabolic SAR in there and they're confirming the downtrend, though. So, that is why um
[01:54] market. I'm not I'm not willing to go against it. I'm not willing to fight it.
[02:15] trend right here as well. Let me bet 150. All indicators and oscillators, I mean the oscillator dates supporting the down But, the entry point was not really that great. And based on that green candle,
[02:31] we can see that the sellers, they are not I mean, there they are not literally letting the buyers to, you know, grow. There was a tiny green candle with a long head and it
[02:45] with a almost the same size of the tail. market. And that's kind of good for us cuz in this situation, we're trading for sure.
[02:58] trading for sure. That's why This hand have been making a lot of thousands. A lot of thousands.
[03:13] $288. Profit was $138.
[03:27] First of all, taking a look at the oscillator, I can uh large volume of the buyer is push the price above the Kaplan midline. But, the volatility is tightening.
[03:42] So, we made a great decision and entered at the top. And the main point here, if you take look at the graph, uh there is the pattern that is very uh there is the pattern that is very easy to determine, very easy to locate.
[03:55] Every next peak of the graph is lower than the previous one. So, Honestly, that was the main reason why I decided to go that.
[04:07] decided to go that. I'm right here. Yeah.
[04:20] in this video I'm not using 1,000 here. I guess price is holding above the Keltner midline. Uh SAR, I mean the
[04:35] parabolic SAR in the air and therefore long trend. ruining my plans. But I don't really think But I don't really think you will succeed.
[04:53] Please, don't prove me wrong. they are just, you know, crushing the sellers. Look at the size crushing the sellers. Look at the size [music] of the tail of this candle.
[05:07] Look at the length of it. I do There is definitely a fight. You know, every time when I'm betting and after my I'm placing a order or bet, I just
[05:20] I'm just visualizing and imagining uh just fighting really literally with the with the lasers and everything. You know, it is so much fun in my head. Like
[05:32] you know. But $330 of the profit. just putting 350 and going
[05:47] before I made the bet comments. Going for sure.
[06:00] $1,000 here, but I would like to make last but not least bet that will finalize our video.
[06:17] and going for long cuz we have some space until level of 18.87064 cuz we were testing that and we bounced back. Right now, I guess I believe we're going to be growing to that level again.
[06:30] We may broke it cuz Parabolic SAR and Aaron, they are collaborating again and they indicating that the price shall go up.
[06:44] In the meantime, guys, of course, during the video, it is quite complicated for me to, you know, explain some things in a detailed way cuz you to make the profit and at the same time I'm trying to simultaneously just
[06:57] information. Sometimes I'm failing to do it. You know, I'm a human being as well, not a robot. So, the best way to learn is watching course, going to my Telegram private group cuz
[07:11] group cuz Here we go, $1,427 from $160 this is very much I mean, the the tactic it works in that way. Once you are
[07:25] checking the information from the Telegram, and then receiving that, implementing that in practice. I'm not, you know, insisting or pushing you to make large amount of bets. No, you can
[07:37] start with $5, $10, $15, $20. It does not really matter. All the things that they're just going to be doing with your account is up to do not forget about that. So, as I mentioned earlier, do not forget to
