[00:00] Are you looking for a trading strategy that is fast, effective, and extremely simple to understand? What if I told you that using just three indicators could completely [music] change the way you read the charts? Welcome back to SAM
[00:12] Trading Strategies. In today's video, I'm going to share my personal three 2-minut time frame with a quick 1 minute expiry. The best part about [music] this strategy is its flexibility. It works perfectly on IQ Option and you can also
[00:28] apply the same rules on platforms like Pocket Option, Olympo and Quoteex. We're not using any complicated or [music] confusing tools today. This strategy is based on a simple but precise combination of two
[00:41] simple moving averages and the fractal indicator. Before we move forward, a quick and important reminder. I am not a financial adviser and this video is made for educational purposes only. Trading involves risk, so I always recommend
[00:55] practicing this strategy on a demo account first [music] before using real strategies, make sure to subscribe to the channel and like this video to support my work. Now, without wasting any more time, let's jump straight into
[01:11] the chart and set up this strategy step by step. All right, let's get our chart ready. Open your indicator menu and follow these steps carefully. First indicator, simple moving average, SMA. Select the moving average indicator.
[01:25] Make sure the type is set to simple moving average, SMA. Now, set the period to five. I recommend using a thicker line so it's easy to see on the chart. You can choose red or any color you like. Second indicator, simple moving
[01:39] average, SMA. Go back to the indicator menu and select moving average again. Keep the type as SMA, but this time set the [music] period to two. This is our fast moving average. I usually set this line to white so it's clearly visible.
[01:54] Third indicator, fractal indicator. Now [music] search for the fractal indicator. Change the period setting to three. Then click apply. And that's it. Our indicator setup is complete. Now let's talk about how to place [music] a
[02:06] sell trade. Please pay close attention here. We need two confirmations before entering a sell trade. Step one, look for a fractal cell arrow on the chart. Step two, watch the moving averages carefully. The five period SMA, the
[02:21] slower line, must cross the two period SMA and move upward. When you see both conditions together, the fractal sell arrow and the five period SMA crossing upward. That is your confirmation to enter a sell trade immediately. Now,
[02:33] let's move on to the buy trade rules. The logic is simple and opposite to the sell trade. Again, we wait for two confirmations. Step one, look for a fractal buy arrow on the chart. Step two, this time the two period simple
[02:48] moving average, the fast line must cross the five period simple moving average and move upward. When you see the buy arrow and the two [music] period SMA crossing upward, this is a strong confirmation to enter a buy trade. One
[03:01] very important rule, [music] never enter a trade if only one signal appears. If you see the arrow but the moving averages have not crossed yet, wait. If the moving averages cross but there is no arrow, skip the trade. Patience is
[03:15] the key to consistency with this strategy. To make this strategy even [music] easier, I've created a free step-by-step checklist PDF explaining all the rules clearly. [music] You can download it from my Telegram channel and
[03:27] indicator settings and trading rules, let's move to the live chart and see how this strategy works in real market conditions. Now let me explain why I decided to take this sell trade. First [music] notice the overall market
[03:42] direction. The price is clearly moving in a downtrend making lower highs and lower lows. Then we get our first confirmation. The fractal cell arrow appears on the chart signaling potential bearish continuation. Next focus on the
[03:55] moving averages. The five period simple moving average crosses the two period SMA and starts moving upward which according to our rules confirms [music] a sell setup. Since both conditions matched perfectly at the same time, I
[04:09] a one minute expiry. Look closely. [music] The price keeps respecting the moving averages and the bearish pressure remains strong. Even when a small
[04:21] bullish candle appears, it fails to break the structure. And now let's look at the result of this trade. As expected, the bearish momentum continues and the price moves further downward before expiry. The candle closes in our
[04:34] favor and the trade finishes as a successful sell trade. Now, let me explain why this buy trade was taken. First, observe the overall price movement. The market is clearly showing a strong upward trend with higher highs
[04:46] and higher lows forming on the chart. Next, we receive our first confirmation. A fractal buy arrow appears signaling that bullish momentum is still active. After that, I focus on the moving averages. The two period simple moving
[05:00] average, which is our fast line, crosses above the five period SMA and continues moving upward. This is exactly what we look for in a buy setup. Since both and then entered a buy trade with a 1 minute expiry strictly following the
[05:18] strategy [music] rules. After entering the BYU trade, you'll notice that the price doesn't shoot up immediately. Instead, the market pauses and forms small candles near the entry level. As long as the price stays above the moving
[05:30] averages and the bullish structure remains intact, there is no reason to panic. The market is simply building momentum. Now, let's look at how this buy trade ends. As the expiry approaches, bullish momentum returns and
[05:43] [music] the price continues moving upward. The candle closes above our entry level and the trade finishes [music] as a successful buy trade. So friends, this is how the three indicator strategy works [music] in real market
[05:55] conditions. Remember, the key is to wait for confirmation, follow the rules, and avoid emotional trading. If you found this strategy helpful, please like this video and subscribe to SAM Trading Strategies for more simple and
