Stupid Simple 3-Step Trading Strategy That Works Every Day

[00:00] This stupid simple three-step strategy works every day and it consistently gives me wins like this, this, and this and I'm about to show you exactly how. Now, I've been trading for 9 years and in that time I've tested hundreds of

[00:12] complicated strategies and this one is hands-down the best and most simplest, which is why I named it my A+ strategy and in this video I'm going to teach you works. The goal of this strategy is to make consistent profits in less than 90

[00:29] minutes per day and in order to do so we're going to start our days by getting to our desks right at 9:45 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Before we get started I futures, stocks, crypto, or forex and you follow the same three simple steps

[00:46] every single day. But, in order to trade this consistently you need to understand how to trade choppy days properly, that way you can avoid the losing trades. Let's hop right into step number one, which is marking our range for the day.

[01:00] Now, in order to do this you want to start on your 15-minute chart. In order to get here you're going to go to TradingView and click this 15-minute button. This means that each candle you see represents 15 minutes of trading

[01:12] time. Next, we're going to wait for the first 15-minute candle to close. This is the candle that happens at 9:30 and closes at 9:45. As you can see here down below the date and the time. Next, we need to mark the high and the low of

[01:27] this candle to find our trading range. In order to do this you can go over here on TradingView to the left, click this button, and then you can select the trend line tool and we can use this to mark out the high and the low of this

[01:39] first 15-minute candle. And now you've got your trading range for the day. But, understanding the range is useless if you don't know which direction we're number two, we're going to change to the 5-minute chart. You can do this by going

[01:55] on TradingView and selecting this 5-minute button right here. And this view brings it so that every candle you see represents 5 minutes worth of trading time. Next, we're going to wait for a break. But, when we're talking

[02:07] about a break we need a very specific pattern to form as the break occurs. This way we can help filter out the losing trades and this is huge for back test. You'll see pretty quickly that we get a nice big move outside the

[02:25] range and a lot of people will try to classify a break as just a candle closure or maybe even a big candle, but we're looking for something much different. Now, I want you to notice how there is a gap between this candle's

[02:38] high right here and then this candle's low. This is what we call a fair value gap. Now, we're going to be looking for a long trade and since buyers are in control we're going to be looking to buy the market or get in a long trade. Now

[02:54] that we've got our fair value gap we've confirmed our market direction, but entry, set our stop loss, and our target won't make us much money, which brings us right into step number three. And this is stupid simple. We're just going

[03:09] to set a limit order on the FVG. Now, in order to do this you can go over here on buy, we're going to click long position. After you click this you can just place

[03:22] this tool with your entry, which is this middle line, right on the fair value gap. And then you can right-click this tool and click create limit order. And what this limit order does is that it tells the broker this is the highest

[03:36] limit you would be willing to buy from. So, if the market dips back down under that level it's going to enter you into the market without you having to manually execute. And in order for our stop loss or where we're going to cut

[03:48] our losses if we're wrong, we want to place it right at the base of fair value gap candle one. So, not the gap candle itself, but the first candle of the position size tool until it says two to one risk to reward. This means that on

[04:06] our winning trades we will make twice as much profit as we would lose on our losing trades. Now, as you can see the market came back down and traded into our fair value gap, so it entered us into the trade. And on this trade we're

[04:21] risking $288 to make a potential $583. Now, at this time your work is done and you literally just sit back and let the market do the heavy lifting for you. Now, a lot of people have an issue of

[04:35] trying to micromanage their trades, but you have to stay consistent and just trust in the strategy. And in case you're wondering, yes, this strategy is that stupid simple. But, if you don't know how to trade the choppy days then

[04:48] choppy days that you need to learn how to navigate in order to stay consistent. know what to expect. I'll leave a link down in the description where you can

[05:03] join totally free. There's a free course, tons of PDFs, and a bunch of other value that's going to help you become a successful trader. Again, that into the first of the two different types of choppy days, which I like to

[05:17] call a mix-up and this is where a lot of traders go wrong using the strategy. As so we're good to go to the 5-minute chart. Now, after we get to the 5-minute

[05:30] chart is where a lot of you guys start making mistakes that cause you to blow Now, in order to avoid those mistakes, what you have to do is you just keep

[05:42] things simple, okay? Notice how on this day we're trading into both sides of the range, we're hitting wicks which aren't confirmations. Yes, we got a candle closure here, but look, there's no fair value gap, so there is no trade. Now, a

[05:55] lot of you guys sit here during these times and maybe you start overtrading, maybe you go on tilt, meaning you start taking bad decisions based on emotions, traders. Not every single day is going to be picture perfect. Some days you're

[06:10] going to have a lot of fake outs as you can see here, but that's the beauty of this strategy and having the fair value gap filter that we do because even with ahead and get in now. I'll get a better entry, right? It's going to form a fair

[06:24] >> think like that. Because as you can see the market can quickly turn around. And traders this is where they start to lose confidence and this is normal. Like when

[06:38] process to help you avoid that. So now, as you can see we finally after hitting both sides of the range, chopping around, finally we did get that

[06:55] fair value gap. So, at this time we're good to enter the market. Now, as long as this happens before 12:00 p.m. As you can see this is 11:30 a.m. So, as long as this fair value gap forms before 12:00 p.m. you're good to still enter

[07:08] to be selling the market. So, we're going to go over here to the left. fair value gap, stop loss on fair value gap candle number one, not that gap

[07:22] candle. Remember, it's the first candle that forms in a fair value gap. And then our target we're going to fix at two to one risk to reward. We're going to $800 at risk to make $1,600 and at this time everything else is the same. Even

[07:39] you and as you can see the target was hit rather quickly. Now, how many of you guys have gotten chopped up on those mix-up days? If that's you I want you to consistent with this strategy to help avoid losing those trades. Now, let's

[07:57] hop right into choppy day number two, which is what I call the steady day and realize that it's happening. So, as you can see here we've got our first candle on October 24th marked out on the 15-minute chart. Then we want to go to

[08:13] usual. Yes, this strategy is simple and boring, but one thing I've learned about trading is that once your trading becomes boring is when you become trade outside of our range like usual, but as you can see we don't get a fair

[08:30] value gap. You get a closure. A lot of people start to rush into the market as fair value gap, no trade. As you can see the market kind of meanders around a accounts because you're rushing into the market, making emotional decisions, but

[08:49] process. As you can see the market kind of is just moving steady. We're not mixing up, we're not hitting the high and going down to the low. It's just a But then we can see that the market starts to dip back into the range, pops

[09:07] out, and then we finally form our fair value gap. So, at this time you're good to enter a long position since this is a high we're pushing a fair value gap out of the range. We're going to put our

[09:20] stop loss at that candle number one and just like usual we have a fixed two to one risk to reward. Now, for this trade we have $385 at risk to make $770 and same as usual we sit back and let the market do the heavy lifting for us.

[09:33] [music] Even though you've seen these three recent examples of this strategy actually work? So, let's put it to the test and look at the data we gathered over historical trading in the strategy, that way you have the confidence you

[09:47] $15,455 over 16 trades with a win rate of 81%. It also had a max drawdown of only $1,635,

[10:01] which makes it perfect for prop firms. If you want a discount on your Apex Funded Challenge, I will leave a discount code down in the description along with the link you can use. So, congratulations. You now have a stupid
