From Security Guard to Trader

Personal story showing the potential of trading to change one's life.

18:05

[00:01] be a slightly different video, doing live trading. Uh, I just made doing live trading. Uh, I just made a purchase in the eurodollar and I'm also going to show you how the entry was made, how the

[00:13] analysis was done, how I executed it, and how I believe the price has a high there's always a chance that the SL will leave and that's it. This is trading, open trade in Metat Trader so you can see that it's all real. And

[00:28] well, we find ourselves in the euro/dollar, in this case the time frame right now is caught in the time frame of one minute. And I'm going to explain a little bit about what the analysis and execution have been like. The first thing I always mark

[00:44] is when the week begins, because what I do is mark the PWH and PWL, the previous week, what the highest and lowest point of the price was last week. Basically, you give the Japanese candlestick chart a weekly timeframe,

[00:58] marking the highest and lowest points, the wicks. OK? Then we would the PDL here, which is basically the previous daily low, basically the same as in weekly, but this time daily time frame, maximum and minimum of the

[01:12] previous day. Then we go down to 4 hours and see that the price has hours and see that the price has an internal minimum with liquidity, one-hour timescale, and that 4-hour point would be this one we have

[01:25] here, okay? This is the PDL we have here. Then in the New York session, what the price has done, so you understand, what I'm looking for, what I'm mostly trying to look for, are buys

[01:41] this point, okay? So, what I 'm looking for is for the price to pull back upwards from here, okay? The session has been open for, well, the New York session has been open for two hours now , it's 3 o'clock, well, right now it's

[01:53] , it's 3 o'clock, well, right now it's 4:25, 4:26, but well, the entry was taken a little earlier. The price has reached its lowest point here. imbalance of one hour. I have it marked. If the price touches it,

[02:05] I'll see how it behaves, whether it reacts, whether it doesn't, or whether it continues without any it starts to correct on a shorter timeframe, then I might consider closing it or setting a break-even point, but I have it marked there so that if it hits that point, I'll be ready,

[02:19] okay? So, in New York I saw that the price was accumulating quite a bit of . Let's see if you can see it and I don't cover it with the camera. Here we have this trend line. I've gone to take it, look. Boom, it's hit the

[02:32] orders along that trend line would already be triggered, okay? would be drunk here, it would have been his turn to stop, okay? Looking for those

[02:44] fake purchases, okay? I've taken the point and lowered the time by one minute and here's where I looked for the purchase. How did I search for the purchase? Well , that's very simple, okay? A change in structure would come from here because

[02:57] basically this candle here is the one that creates the last high. Notice how it picks up the previous wick from the previous candle and from here, from this point, the final drop begins. No? Therefore, it is a change in structure.

[03:09] OK? Once here, we see that the price pauses, takes the liquidity that I had marked, which is this line here, and makes a move. This impulse creates an imbalance, a void, a FVG, call it whatever you want

[03:21] . Basically, the definition is an imbalance in orders, an therefore, it's a magnet, okay? It's a magnet, and the price tends to touch it, and it has a high probability of reacting to it to achieve the

[03:35] movement that the price is making at that moment. Since this time the market is buy, I expect that gap to be respected. It creates the imbalance, it touches it, boom, and here it already makes the change of structure with

[03:48] okay? I don't like structural changes with wicks with wicks because it gives me a feeling that it doesn't if it does it with body, the change of structure, like this, this candle

[04:00] here, for example, wouldn't work for me. Notice the wick it creates, a rejection, body, it closes at the top, it's true that you do it with a large wick, but well, the point is that it closes with body and shows a strength

[04:13] what I have practically done is enter approximately here when I have reacted to that liquidity point that I had marked, New York session, change structure with body and has respected the imbalance that it

[04:27] has generated. OK? This would be the entrance. Right now we're a bit in the red, as you can see, it's reacting there. eh possible exit points. Well, the first thing, as I always say, is, try not to go

[04:42] more than one to two, only on specific occasions, if you see it very clearly, if your account is positive and you don't really care, or if you see the Z very clearly, if you you are well protected, if you have an adequate risk, if you can

[04:55] you want, okay? But I would at least say one to two, don't go for negative risk-reward because you feel like you're having a bad streak, you're going to lose the account very soon. Don't go for ratios lower than one to one, don't even go for

[05:08] ratios of 1 to one, I don't like it much because it basically means you're going to have to be right more than necessary. However, if you're aiming for a one-to-two ratio, you can afford two consecutive losses, and if the third one is

[05:21] good, you'll recoup the losses from the other two, okay? Therefore, you always have that margin to enter an SLS streak, and when you have a good TP, you Therefore, it gives you, it gives me peace of mind because of a risk-benefit ratio

[05:35] greater than 1 to 1, okay? I am not in favor of either 1 to 1 or negative risk-benefit. Hey, I'm also going to show you the operation in Metatrader, which is over here. Currently it's going to, well, 400 down, to

[05:51] put it in 5 minutes. It's looking a bit rough, to be honest, but oh well, here goes. I 've marked this trend line here because I believe there's a lot of liquidity in this area. OK? You can go and collect those points. All of this, for me, represents

[06:04] accumulated stops. You can go and clear quite a few stop orders there. Uh, and roughly like I told you, a little further up because of the spray and such, but well, roughly around that area. And that's it , as TP I have set 975 on one and

[06:19] 2900 on the other, okay? In total I entered with 15 lots and another operation with five because I had a little more margin left after making two entries because I SL allowed me to risk a little more and I added another five. Uh, in this case,

[06:33] and I added another five. Uh, in this case, 400 and 10000, about 1600 in total of SL and potential TP, which I don't know if it will happen, so 2900 and 900, about 4000 approximately, okay? Therefore, a ratio higher than 1

[06:49] to two, higher than 1 to two, almost 1 to 3, I would say. So, well, that's where well, I don't know if it'll be a couple of hours, I don't know if I'll get SL, if I'll get TP, I don't know what's going to happen. The point is, the deal's already been done,

[07:03] okay? Therefore, whatever will be, will be; you can see here that many of you would get I'm sure of it because it happened to me too okay? The price may surge, it may pull back, then it may continue

[07:15] its course, it may go to the stop loss, I don't know either. And that's it. Simply put, once I execute the trade, I know that one of the two things can happen. I accept the risk that they might take me out in TP with SL and that's it. In fact, what you have to accept

[07:29] when you enter a trade is that you have lost that money. Spot. To avoid that anxiety of winning or losing, simply assume that you are going to lose. Hey, I've entered, I'm going to lose.

[07:43] we function, and whatever God wills. But don't go crazy and all that come back in a couple of hours, I'll open up again and we'll see, hey, what

[07:55] the price has done and how it's moving. Okay, I think it has a chance of going up, okay? I don't know if it's to this point that I'm looking for, but in this imbalance here that I showed you earlier, which we

[08:08] also see here in Metatril, I think the price may have an h zone that imbalance, okay? An imbalance between this candle and this candle and the price can get here and cost you, okay? But anyway , we'll leave it at that. Let's see

[08:22] liquidity here, as you can see. Therefore, there is also a possibility that the price will eliminate up to this point above, okay? I don't know, but prediction, and that's what I entered based on, okay? Well, whatever happens, happens

[08:37] . We'll be back in a little while, a few hours, a few minutes, because Trump might decide to write something and the price might go up or down, I don't know, but anyway, we'll be back in a few minutes, hours, maybe I'll be wearing

[08:49] the reality of trading. You caught me, huh? I was wearing normal clothes, no shirt or anything strange. I'm a trader who trades from home, and this if I weren't recording, I'd be shirtless because it's summer, but well,

[09:04] I put on a t-shirt so they wouldn't censor me or take down the video. So anyway, we'll come and see what's going on and I'll show you. Okay? Here and I'll show you. Okay? Here we are again. An hour

[09:17] or two has passed, maybe a little more. And look, I'm going to show you how the operation works, okay? Because it has had a pretty significant drop here, and I'm absolutely sure that, well, the vast majority of people would have

[09:33] freaked out, okay? To put it bluntly, or they would have closed the deal right at this drop here, okay? I'm sure many of you will still experience this kind of thing, and that's normal. It

[09:46] comes with experience and years in the market. When you consistently trade, learn, and are profitable, and you know your results and your strategy without pivoting from one strategy to another

[10:00] , you'll know exactly how far your strategy can take you, what your chances are of winning the trade, and you'll have complete confidence in your trading style. That's my case; I've been using this strategy for many years. I have

[10:14] withdrawn more than 390,000. I'll leave the payout here. And well, I know very well the the odds I have of winning, right? Obviously, it could have hit the

[10:26] stop loss, but in these situations, which is what I'm getting at , what I want to explain, most of you would have panicked and probably closed the position because it stayed, well, it stayed practically 2.6 to

[10:40] 2.7 pips from the stop loss. Uh, many of you probably would have closed either out of fear or hey, that's it, I'm leaving it, such and such, I'm closing sooner to lose less. cases? That you're not going to be profitable. Okay, if you have that mentality, if you

[10:54] get scared when the trade turns against you, if you're not confident in your strategy, then obviously what's going to happen is that in the end you're going to be afraid. And this is the reality, okay? This is the

[11:06] reality. We've had a drop, practically, as I said, almost to the SL. Finally, here we are again. In fact, notice how, well, I don't know if I imbalance marked here, this imbalance in 2 minutes, which,

[11:18] notice, he mitigated for the first time, then for the second time, and then he started to take off with quite a lot of force. Okay? Hey, I'm also going to show you how the operation works . Here it is, okay?

[11:32] Here we have the operation. Right now it's up 2700, okay? Uh, I've already set break even. My TP is up here and notice that it's slowly breaking through the trend line , okay? You may get this far, or you may not.

[11:46] in a conflict zone that I call, yes, a conflict zone basically means that, hey, the price there may take a while to react, it may reverse and touch the verkeven, but it is a zone where the

[12:00] is that conflict zone? Well, the one I explained earlier. We have an that it's currently touching, and here the price can make a reversal, either by pulling back a little to continue rising, continuing to rise and not caring about

[12:15] those probabilities are there. I've already set my break-even point. Another thing people who haven't been doing this for very long and still get nervous managing these types of trades, is to close the trade. Yeah, damn, you have 2500 up there, just like

[12:29] that. I don't recommend doing that, okay? If you have a planned analysis, if you have a zone you want to reach because you have analyzed it, you analysis supports it, your strategy supports it, it is approved, you are profitable, don't

[12:42] close. Because? Some of you will say, "Wow, I would close it down, and so on." If "Wow, I would close it down, and so on." If you close before the TP zone, in the habit. It's a bad habit because you won't let the operations run. If you don't

[12:55] never be profitable. Okay? Because? Because you'll close the profits whole. That's what it's going to do, basically: destroy your win rate, basically: destroy your win rate, destroy your statistics, destroy your

[13:09] Both losing and winning trades should be allowed to run until they reach the zone you believe you have previously analyzed before executing you've analyzed it, hey, I want it to reach this zone because of X or Y, well, that's how it is

[13:23] , I'll let it run and that's it. And if I go from here down to here and stop earning $2600, that's just how it is. to cry. Now cry about it, that's just how it is, period, and that's how trading works. Don't get nervous, not even during this downturn

[13:35] here that almost kicked me out and almost got me kicked out of SL. It came very close. Nor should we close up here because we think the price is right, because we already have enough money or it might reverse or whatever. Obviously, you'll

[13:47] might reverse or whatever. Obviously, you'll million dollars, it doesn't matter if he withdrew 400,000, absolutely nothing matters. You're going to continue to be afraid. It's normal, this is

[14:01] trading. Emotions are what they are, and that's all there is to it . This is what it is. This is probabilities run, you have to let your analysis run, you have to let everything run and let it be what it has to be, period. But to avoid all that kind of

[14:15] thing, I advise you to set alarms, forget about the chart, not look at the practically nothing. All we have to do is wait. If it happens, great, if it happens, great, if it happens, great, and it shouldn't matter to you . Obviously

[14:30] emotions will always come out, but your cool head has to be enough, uh, it has to be furnished enough to know that get a job, find something else,

[14:42] this is trading. And here you have to let the money flow, you have to lose, you have to win, you have to stop winning, all of that, okay? So, I'll do it this way . Uh, it's close to the TP. I've already

[14:55] set break even. They have therefore made me be what I have to be. I'll keep updating. Obviously, if it's 9 pm, then I'll close, okay? I'm not going to leave the operation open in Asia because the spread increases, it gets you

[15:09] okay? I don't usually leave operations open overnight, except in very And then, well, that's it, I'll let it go. If at 9:10 PM, which is one hour before Asia, the price is still in the same area or has settled into a

[15:22] certain range, I'll close the position and take whatever is available, period. Okay, but I'm not going to needs to be done, I'll do it, but I won't let the operation run, okay? So, for now it's there, $24,400 up. Uh, the

[15:37] to be honest, but hey, for now it's going well. It almost reached the SL, as I but it didn't touch it. Now he finds himself in that conflict zone, and well, I don't know if he's going to overcome it, let's hope so

[15:51] reacting, okay? I don't know if it will break through, if it will stay in range, if it will fall and point is that I've already set it up, and we'll see what next day and as you can see, the operation went perfectly.

[16:07] We picked up the trade around here. Notice the entire rise that our trade finally made, profiting around here. I'm going to post the trades here that were closed in the end. And so, here we have

[16:21] the TP, okay? Here you are seeing how we practically caught the recovery, the price manipulation. You see how it eliminated this minimum we have here, okay? Let's see if I can do it, you'll see. Here you can see that he manipulated this low and the

[16:36] price finally boomed, hitting a pretty strong rise. It closed around 9 , I think it was this candle here, if I'm not mistaken. And that's where it closed, and honestly, the trade went quite well and I'm quite happy. Absolute

[16:49] madness. Speechless, really. Uh, I know that many of you would have closed here at the drop in price, which I think was this wick but finally the price proved us right in our trade, in our

[17:02] entry. It's absolutely crazy, really. And here you are seeing it on TradingView. We caught the entry point in this manipulation at this minimum that I mentioned in 4 hours, well , we have that internal minimum there

[17:14] which is liquidity. As you know, minimum and maximum everything in liquidity. And well, here we have the result of the trade. It closed down on me around here, I think it was around 8 or 9 at night and it was truly crazy. As

[17:27] was also quite good because the price started to recede. These are which I don't think I'm going to settle because there's no news or anything. It's a fairly sideways market. Notice that, well, during the London session

[17:40] the price has remained stuck in a range. I do n't usually like ranks. I prefer manipulations and distributions. In this case, well, everything I explained to you both yesterday and today. The

[17:52] are seeing again how this strategy works. This strategy is what has allowed me to withdraw the absurd amounts of money that I always tell you about, more than $390,000 in cash, although I have to update it, to be

[18:05] 400,000. I'd have to update it because in June alone I've already showed you. And if not, I'll leave it at that, also a real madhouse. I do n't think so, well, I don't think so, I never

[18:19] thought I could do this, more than 20,000 in a month. It was unthinkable. In my job as a security guard a few years ago, I earned 1300 €100. I was fed up with working standing up in a shop for 12 hours without holidays, without anything because I couldn't even

[18:33] afford them. And the truth is that this is a luxury and something that I sincerely hope that watching this video, who are trying to be profitable in trading, will at some point experience the crazy things that can be done with this business. It's absolutely amazing

[18:46] , honestly. So anyway, here's the video. I hope you've learned a lot, which is the sole intention of this video, and well, below you also have a free class in the description if you want to see it, where

[19:01] I explain my strategy in more detail . And well, we continue on our path, we continue to prosper, we continue to teach for free. By the way, please hit the hype button, which is located below the

[19:14] video. The hype button shows YouTube that the content is these videos involve a lot of work, editing, work, editing, time, and dedication. And all this,
