[00:00] I ve been using this secret trading strategy that I found a while back and it s made me $70,000. You know how many chipotle burritos that is? in just the span of just 60 days. I know impressive right?

[00:15] And after using it, I can safely say it s one of the best strategies I ve found yet. So if you saw the title, saw the thumbnail. And you probably thought what strategy is he talking about? It s this. This right here. Ughhh I gotta

[00:28] explain it more don t I? This strategy includes 5 steps in order for where to set your stop loss, and of course where to set your pretty take profit so you

[00:40] AND also go over a live trade example that I took earlier so you can follow along and use this strategy yourself. Sounds like a pretty good deal right?

[00:52] Did I also mention I m doing all of this for absolutely free? Yeah, I know, Im pretty awesome. platform for this example. If you don t yet have it, ill leave a link in the description.

[01:05] Before we get into the secret steps, we have to make sure we are using the optimal time Now I like to day trade with the strategy, so I use the 5 minute timeframe to start off. Once you have selected the correct timeframe we can now move to our secret steps.

[01:19] high of the chart, in order to mark our LIQUIDITY ZONES. I don t know why I made that sounds so cool their just liquidity zones. Moving on.

[01:32] So make sure you liquidity zones are marked like this. It s not that hard. Step two is to mark from 9:30am (which is market open) to 11 am est.

[01:45] This step is very important. If you don t listen to this step a random goldfish somewhere will die immediately. I m just kidding. The goldfish will be fine. We are marking these time periods because this is the only time we can execute a trade.

[02:04] If a trade opportunity happens outside of this zone. We do not enter into that sepcific So go to your chart and put two vertical lines so you know where you can start looking for

[02:18] Next, we want price to break one of these liquidity zones. It can happen in either direction. If it happens upwards, we will be looking In this instance, the price went downwards and broke our lower liquidity zone. Which

[02:36] is exactly what we are looking for. That s step 3 complete. Step 4 is one of the most crucial, because it involves the entry. Which is arguably the most important part. This step if done incorrectly will completely

[02:49] ruin the strategy. So we have to make sure we doing it correct. This is how you do it. But first:

[03:02] Alright let s move back to step 4. So we have our liquidity zones, we have our

[03:29] time zone where the trade has to be executed, and finally we just got a liquidity break. Once this happens, we have to move to a smaller timeframe like the one minute so we can get a sniper entry from this move. Go to the one minute timeframe.

[03:44] Next we need to mark the pivot point of where price needs to break in order for us to consider a reversal is happening. Our swing point on this chart is right here. Which is the previous lower high. This is the point price needs to break in

[03:57] order for us to consider there is a market structure shift occuring. So for example, if price does this and doesn t break this point. We do not consider this this point, just like this. So let s go back to the chart and see what

[04:14] price end s up doing. Price starts to move upwards, and bang, it crosses our pivot point. (meme) So we now know the chart has shifted structure and is starting to become bullish. Also, keep in mind it s doing all of this

[04:30] in our time zone required. The last part of step 4 is that there needs to be a fair value gap on the chart. A fair value gap is simply a fast move created by a big candle, creating a gap between the two candles.

[04:44] You can mark it, by putting a level at the top of the first candle and a level at the bottom of the second candle. This will give you a gap area where price has to come back to, in order for us to enter this trade.

[04:57] So lets go back to our chart and mark the fair value gap, that price need to come back the candle after the big move. Remember, price needs to create a fair value gap for us to even consider this trade. If one is not created, we do not enter.

[05:13] It is now time for the part you ve all be waiting for .. THE FINAL STEP. Step 5. Our final step involves setting our entry, stop loss, and take profit. You are going to set a limit order exactly in the center of the fair value gap.

[05:28] If you want to be safer and make sure you re always in the trade, you can set your entry at the top of the fair value gap. It s really up to you, but I like to place mine in the middle because price usually comes down here anyways and I like to place mine

[05:41] here so I get a better risk to reward ratio. You are going to set your stop loss right below the low of the fair value gap candle. Or if you want to be a tad bit safer, you can set it below the low of the entire move. But again, I place at the low of the candle

[05:57] so I get a better risk to reward ratio. It s all about that risk to reward baby. Then finally, you are going to set your take profit at the high that we marked at the very beginning of the video. So now we are all setup, and we have everything

[06:10] layed out and we re ready to go. All we have to do is let price do its thing. Price comes back down to our limit order so we get entered into the trade automatically. Then its starts to consolidate a little bit, and shoots right back up to our perfect take

[06:24] profit and we get a glorious winning trade. I fkn love this strategy. Its treated me really nicely and overall it s a pretty easy strategy to follow. I ll be leaving the 5 step strategy checklist in my description. If you want to use it to

[06:37] follow along for your own personal trades, you can download for absolutely free if you works it works for you on Instagram and I ll see you guys next time.
