AI Summary

The speaker promotes a free Spanish webinar on swing trading, explaining how he grew a $100 account to $78,000 in eight weeks. He contrasts swing trading with scalping and day trading, emphasizing trend-following and higher timeframes for better win rates and less stress.

[01:55]
Definition of Swing Trading

Swing trading involves holding trades for more than a day, typically a week, using weekly or daily timeframes to identify trends and profit-taking zones.

[02:37]
Comparison with Scalping and Day Trading

Scalping uses 1-3 hour timeframes for quick entries/exits; day trading enters and exits within the same day. Swing trading uses larger timeframes for higher win rates.

[04:03]
Advantages of Swing Trading

Higher profit targets, less likely to lose because trend-following, minimal time and effort required, and less stressful.

[05:10]
Disadvantage of Swing Trading

Cannot take many trades; sometimes no trades for a week. But each trade has a risk-reward of 1:3, making it positive and stress-free.

[05:38]
Key Principles

Trend is your friend; buy/sell only in daily or weekly areas of interest (minimum three touches). 4-hour zones are less reliable.

[07:10]
Trade Analysis Example: Identifying Trend

Analyzed weekly (bearish), daily (bearish), and 4-hour (bearish) timeframes. All three in sync, giving a 30% confluence advantage.

[10:05]
Finding Area of Interest

Found a daily zone with three touches. Used that as the selling area. Added confluences like 4-hour structure rejection and bearish engulfing pattern.

[14:14]
Entry and Stop Loss

Entered on a 30-minute bearish engulfing pattern with a head and shoulders. Placed stop loss above the left head/right shoulder. Take profit at next daily structure point (8,900).

[16:31]
Trade Outcome

Trade took about 68 hours, achieved a risk-reward better than 1:2. The speaker emphasizes swing trading as stress-free and profitable.

Swing trading, when combined with trend-following and higher timeframe analysis, offers a less stressful and more profitable approach compared to scalping or day trading. The speaker's personal success story underscores its effectiveness.

[00:02] important because I understand that you might have many questions about the challenge I 'm doing, going from 100 to a million. You know I hold you dear because you know I'm Latino, but I understand that everything I

[00:16] 'm posting on "One Million" is in English, which can be a little frustrating and might also raise some questions. I understand that all the live traders are also in English, and it's really difficult for me to translate posts and

[00:30] messages. But I came up with a solution to help you and 'm doing with this challenge that no one has ever done before. So this week, I'm doing a Warren Buffett webinar in Spanish completely free this Sunday, September 17th, at

[00:46] 6 PM New York time. I'm going to do a completely free webinar where I'll I'm using for this challenge, the risks I'm taking, and everything that's challenge, the risks I'm taking, and everything that's led me to take my account from 100 to 78. It's what

[01:00] I've done so far in just eight weeks, all the trades I've taken, all the trades I'm going to take, and any questions or doubts you may have. that to leave the link below so you can register because there will only be

[01:14] limited spots. It won't be a fixed number because Zoom only has limited spots. I'll leave it below. Zoom is completely free. You have to register to be part of the webinar that we're going to do this Sunday at six in the

[01:28] afternoon. See you there, my people. And keep going. Identify high-probability adjustments in 15 minutes or less. Take your trade, whether it's a buy or sell, top the take-profit level, and then it's about common sense. After that, you go to work, you go to the gym, you can do whatever you

[01:42] do is occasionally check the trade and see if it has reached the take- profit level, and two days later, boom! Your profits have been made. This is what least the way I do it. So, what is swing trading? The

[01:55] definition of trading on Google is a trade that lasts more than a day, or more, normally a week. But what swing trading really is is doing whether it's the weekly or daily timeframe, and you're only using these as

[02:08] your... Profit-taking zones are used because they're utilizing those saying you can't make money with caps or smaller trades, but it's a bit more volatile and more likely to be stopped out. When you're

[02:23] as I do, those who trade with longer timeframes are better at winning, and their odds of winning are much higher. This is because they're timeframes. They trade pro- trend. How does this differ from

[02:37] other types of trading, like scalping, day trading, or even intra-date trading? entering and exiting within a one-hour, two-hour, or three-hour timeframe. They essentially enter and exit quickly; they just want to make money during the day, catch

[02:51] a quick move, and exit. This is something 99% of traders try when they first enter the markets because they see it as easy market, and their stops are triggered. The market

[03:05] hits them very hard because it has a very aggressive entry point. Let's move on to day trading. This is also a very common trading style because... You enter and exit within the same day, so you day trade in the

[03:18] morning and exit at night, or enter at night and exit in the morning. This is a something I've been implementing very recently with my strategy. It's when you're holding a position for a little more than a day. You're buying in

[03:35] 4-hour, 2-hour, and 1-hour timeframes, and maybe you're taking profits daily, but you enter and exit within the same day. So we're only mainly the daily structure. Then we have swing trading, which I would

[03:49] have a mix of all the different types of trading along with my swing Basically, it's using the larger timeframes to identify the trend so you can buy with the trend, and then you use

[04:03] daily timeframes to have your smaller zones. Then you use the to enter the trade and take the largest profits. This precise entries because you use the smaller timeframes. The

[04:17] higher profit target because you're using a longer timeframe. Some of trading: entry. One of the best advantages is that you make much more money, and since you're using longer timeframes, you're less likely to lose

[04:31] because you're a trend-following trader. So not only do you make more money, but you're more likely to make more money, and since you're going with the trend, you're less likely to lose. That's why you don't lose as much when you trade.

[04:43] And also because it's the easiest and least stressful. So it requires a minimal amount of time with a minimal amount of effort, whether you're entering the trade or making it by letting it

[04:56] reach your profit target, or if you're using your stop loss, they'll reach your tops. I'm not going to lie. The disadvantage is really just one, and that's that it want to go into the market and take 10 trades in the same day. This doesn't work like that.

[05:10] I've gone a whole week without a single trade because I'm just standing there their tops while I'm just waiting for a good adjustment. That's why, the markets, it's good because swing trading takes you out when you shouldn't be

[05:24] in and gets you in when you should be. three trades a week, but if each trade has a risk-reward ratio of 1 to 3, for me that's totally positive and stress-free. But a note on

[05:38] something: the most important thing when swing trading is that the trend is your friend. That's where most markets are going. That's one. The second is that you have to buy with a daily or weekly area of ​​interest. That's

[05:52] key. I don't care if the 4-hour chart looks good; if it looks good, that doesn't matter. The 4-hour and 2-hour zones aren't going to be respected, at least not as strongly or as solidly as the daily and weekly zones. And that's just a

[06:05] fact. I can show you the receipts: Thomas 10-3 buying in a daily area of ​​interest, and Thomas di Streets buying in a 4-hour area of ​​interest. Your days in the area of ​​interest are going to earn more than your 4 hours, and that's a simple fact.

[06:17] Because the zones are much stronger and much more respected. Before showing you these charts to teach you my swing, I've created a class where anyone can master my best profit method, which can generate

[06:29] profit method, which can generate $4,000 to $6,000 monthly by realistically dedicating one or two hours a day to it. Click on this video this class is over so I can answer your questions, so watch it once we're finished.

[06:42] break down this trade where I earned $85,000 in less than 24 hours, almost breaking my record. If I had set forget, it would have been a little more, but it's still good. I'm going to show you the moment I analyzed the

[06:56] Sunday swings until the moment I entered, where I placed my stop-loss orders, where I entered, and where I show you the complete trade, so be sure to pay attention. The first thing we do when entering the market is what we already know: identify the trend,

[07:10] where it's going. Remember I said this before: the trend is your friend. Do markets? So, if you look here, we have the weekly timeframe, which

[07:22] is bearish. As you can see, this market structure is heading down: lower lows, higher lows, and this is where we potentially create a new lower high. Obviously, if we end up

[07:34] we know the weekly timeframe is bearish. And yes, I do this with every trade because if you're not taking responsibility for the marks on your charts and following your trading plan, who will? No one will be there to remind you

[07:48] forget to do this." This is why many traders fail and end up losing because they're not responsible. I literally do this for every single trade. So, the Then we go down to the daily timeframe, and as you can see, the

[08:03] daily timeframe went from bullish to bearish. We were creating higher highs, higher lows, and then lower lows and lower highs. That's why at the time of taking this trade you're seeing here, we

[08:16] were bearish. As you can see, you have a bearish daily timeframe here. So, this would be The lowest high, and this would be the lowest low

[08:28] because this is the highest high. This is the highest low; there we break the structure. So this timeframe here is bearish; actually, this would be a lower high, and this would be the lower low. So at the time

[08:43] of taking this trade, this is exactly how it looked. Okay, after we identified that the daily chart is bearish, then we go down to the 4-hour chart. So on the 4-hour chart, we do exactly the same thing, and as you can see, the

[08:56] 4-hour structure is also bearish because we were creating higher highs and higher lows, and then we turned to the downside, making this timeframe bearish so that the lowest low would be here, and the

[09:10] lowest high would be here. So as long as they stay below these two lines, we can literally do whatever we want, and we are bearish from the moment bullish the moment the body closes below; this becomes

[09:24] the new lower low, and then this becomes the lower high. So this is where we would identify that the 4- hour chart... It's also bearish, which means we have three timeframes in sync. All the timeframes

[09:38] are falling because buying on the one-hour, 38-minute, or 15-minute charts is a waste of time. They just want to take a trade where most of the markets are going. That's what I say every

[09:51] Sunday when I'm on the call with the students. So, as you can see, bearish, the daily timeframe is bearish, and the four-hour timeframe is bearish. The only thing that makes sense is to

[10:05] sell. So, if we're just looking to sell, we're just going to look for an area of interest to sell. This is where I only look for my areas of interest in only look for my areas of interest in the daily or weekly chart. And

[10:20] as you can see, I found this zone on the daily chart. Because we need a minimum of three touches to find that area of interest, here we have the area of ​​interest: first touch, second touch, and third touch. So we

[10:35] interest, making this a solid area of ​​interest. Whenever we go up, we're buying; when we go down, we're selling; when when we're going below, we're selling. In this case, we're not only

[10:49] all the timeframes are going down. So it's like you're So once we understand that the three timeframes are in sync, my next confluence is that we're selling

[11:03] we're selling in a daily area of ​​interest. Again, interest if we have a minimum of three touches. if we have a minimum of three touches. The way I graded it is every

[11:18] The way I graded it is every timeframe is at 10% of its degree. this is going to be 10%, and this is going to be 10%.

[11:33] So let's say, for example, that the 4- hour chart is bullish. So let's assume this is bullish. Then this would make this trade

[11:46] only 20% because we only have two timeframes to take the sell. Let's say they want to take the buy for some reason. Then this would only be 10% towards your note because they only have the four-hour chart bullish. Again, I only

[12:02] timeframes. Everything that's below This is just for looking to buy because that doesn't make sense. We want most of our favor. Here's where we have our three timeframes

[12:17] in sync, giving us a 30% advantage if we're buying or selling in a daily or weekly area. This is also daily or weekly area. This is also where I would include 10% for my note.

[12:30] confluence. It just continues for a series of 10 different times where I end up giving the trade a note. There I can basically identify if it's going to be a B adjustment, a C adjustment, or an A adjustment. I don't normally take trades below a C. By the way, I

[12:46] graduated high school with a 2.57 GPA, which is a C in America. That's normal. I take one home to my mom and she's happy. They taste phenomenal. So I'll below that doesn't make sense. I'm just applying the same thing. So as you

[13:01] can see here, after we identify that we have our area we identify that we have our area of ​​interest, this is where I would go down to the 4- hour chart. Hours I have to wait for it to touch my area of ​​interest. Once

[13:14] we come to our area of ​​interest, here's where I've been able to identify. Wow, where I've been able to identify. Wow, we're having an email IMEI rejection, a we're having an email IMEI rejection, a structure rejection. I should

[13:27] put it here, a 4-hour structure. We also have 4-hour structure. We also have a second one. We also have a second one. We also have a 4-hour rejection candle, and so

[13:42] on. So you see, we're building a series of confluences to take the trade. Here's where I would wait for the session to arrive, whether it's the New York or London session. After this, here's where the

[13:56] trade entered. I entered on the 30-minute timeframe on this bearish engulfing pattern, on this potential left head and shoulders. Here's where I would arrive and include the 30-minute bearish engulfing pattern.

[14:14] 30-minute bearish pattern. The 7 would be the head 30-minute bearish pattern. The 7 would be the head and shoulders, You're seeing how I built the series of confluences. Again, keep in mind

[14:30] that all these confluences have a certain note towards the trade. That's exactly what I break down and explain in my set-on-forget strategy. So this trade here, which is after... I identified my entry point, which was

[14:43] after this bearish engulfing pattern. I placed my top loss above the left head with a right shoulder. I'm going to be totally transparent and completely honest; this was a very tight stop loss. Normally, I have my top loss

[14:58] above the head because, again, from here I could have decided to create a larger right shoulder to continue going down, but since I saw such a strong 30-minute bearish engulfing pattern, I took the trade at

[15:13] 8 AM. As you can see below, it's basically the same thing: they 're adjusting for success because they know the New York session is about to start, and that's why there are many opportunities this trade will present. That's why I

[15:25] had my top loss a little tighter in this trade, and this is where I identified my take profit in a daily zone because, again, I'm a swing slash intraday trader. I'm trying to identify the trend using the

[15:40] larger timeframes because I would place one-hour or four-hour take profits since we're leaving so much money on the table. So, this is where the one-hour and 30-minute timeframe would come in. 4 hours to deliver my entries. And then

[15:53] my take profit is based on the following structure point. Here's where I come in on the daily timeframe and I look at the next structure point. It has this solid zone here where we have one, two, three, four,

[16:06] five touches, and I just found the next psychological round level, which is 8,900. I usually like to exit before it hits the psychological round level because what usually happens is that they have this exact

[16:18] situation here where it minimally touched it, so that's why it fits, closing this trade without taking my full take profit. And obviously, some brokers are n't going to hit it, you know, because of spreads and such. But my true take profit

[16:31] ended up being around here because it's more than I need. I need a minimum risk- reward ratio of 1 to 2 to take a trade. Anything more would be great, but I say that would be being a bit greedy, and

[16:43] I really think this trade took about 68 hours to make its play, so I didn't have to do as much as you saw. With my simple strategy, I caught these trades all the time, which is why I understand that swing trading is one

[16:56] of the best. Strategies for entering the market are stress-free, and when you catch the trend and have immense profits with virtually no drawdown, you're already setting yourself up for success. It's not just about

[17:09] and fighting the markets when you scalp. You're fighting the markets, trying to catch an upward impulse, or a or date trade, you're just going with the

[17:23] current isn't going north anymore; you're just going to surf that wave against you, but I personally believe that swing trading is much more effective, and the profits are much greater. Thanks to swing

[17:36] trade, I've been able to create massive wealth. And you, the person starting from scratch or something like that, just like I did. I started with nothing. I was at Dunkin' Donuts five years ago with no knowledge, no experience, no

[17:50] contacts, no diploma, almost no money, until one day I mastered the point where I realized that money wasn't the most important thing. That's why I started doing these things, teaching you all and sharing all the knowledge I've

[18:04] acquired over the past five years. The most beautiful thing yourself. I started these videos because people were demanding to know how I got these Sniper entries and how I learned to analyze the markets.
