04:36[00:00] I just made $100 using this strategy and over the last month and a half, it's up 13% in profit. Now, I'm going to back test this with you and I'm going to give you the exact strategy. Everything you
[00:12] need to do step by step in order to duplicate these results. I'm showing you this on German 40. It is the European equivalent of the US30. Now, the first thing that you need to do is take your chart out to the 30inut time frame and the indicator that I'm using is called Happy Trail.
[00:27] There are four case profiles with this indicator. I am using the default profile of case 4. All of the settings are set at default. I allow signal repainting for one specific reason. As the
[00:39] momentum is pushing down while the candle is still forming, my phone will send me a notification that a signal has printed. That gives me enough time to hop on the charts, watch that candle close,
[00:51] and if the candle closes and the signal is still printed, then I enter in my position. And this is a strategy with zero technical analysis. You don't have to do anything except abide by the signal. All the strategy entails is when an upside down smiley face prints, that means a
[01:07] short position. It prints above the candle for a short position. You enter in your short position at the close of the candle. You put your stop loss one tick above the top of the candle in a short position and you're targeting a one to two risk-to-reward. For a long position, you are
[01:23] waiting for a smiley face to print underneath the candle for a buy position. When the candle closes, you enter your buy position. You adjust your stop-loss to one tick below the bottom of the
[01:36] candle and you target a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. And you do this every single time the signal prints and you target a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. And you just let the trade play out. You
[01:49] don't move your stop-loss. You don't do anything. You just wait for the signal to print the candle to close. Enter in at close of candle, stop-loss one tick above or below the candle, depending on
[02:02] whether you're buying or selling. And you do this over and over and over and over again. And you do not get greedy. You do not try to get more money out of these big moves. You go consistent with a
[02:14] one:2 risk-to-reward ratio on every single trade. No technical analysis, no fiddling with your trades. You are being systematic. You are being methodical. You are not breaking any rules. You
[02:28] are not making any adjustments. Again, you are not doing technical analysis because your technical analysis bias hasn't been working for you. And you will have some losing trades. But fear not, my friend, the results at the end of this month and a half will absolutely astound you. It doesn't
[02:45] matter if you've had four back-toback losses. you continue doing the strategy over and over and over again. The name of the game in day trading is consistency. Some trades are really going to piss
[02:57] you off because you're going to put your stop-loss one tick below the close of the candle for a buy order and you are going to get stopped out, my friend. And then the trade is going to go in your direction. And sometimes you'll get frustrated. But you need to bottle up those thoughts and just
[03:13] keep trucking along. Keep trust in the process because day trading is a game of repetition. The more you trade, the more you get used to the fact that some trades win and some trades lose. And a
[03:27] lot of people are impatient because they want money now. And day trading isn't about getting money now. It's about getting money consistently over time so that you can quit your job, you don't have to spend onethird of your life working for an employer. I've had every single
[03:46] job under the sun. And I can tell you, working for myself and day trading is by far the best. And day trading is not about winning every single trade. It's about having an edge and using that
[03:58] edge against the markets consistently. Because when you have an edge, you can participate in the markets. You can earn money while working at home. And using this strategy, you can spend all of your
[04:10] free time playing with your dog, playing with your kids, taking your wife out on a date, instead of working a job that you hate, with whom you have to beg for days off, and they only allow you one
[04:23] week of vacation a year, if that. And this, my friends, is genuinely day trading on easy mode. You're getting way less trades. You're getting way less fatigue. And since October 1st, we had 12
[04:36] winners and 11 losers. 12 winners was up 24%. 11 losers was down 11%. 24 minus 11 is 13. That means
[04:49] over the last month and a half, you outperform the S&P 500, which on average gets 9 to 10% per year. My friends, this is worth trying out. It's worth testing on the asset that you trade. I just
[05:02] tested it for you on German 40. If you want access to this indicator, it's called Happy Trail and you can get access to it at trdfloor.com. Thanks so much for watching and we will see you in the next
