the 90% win rate strategy that made me $800k (full breakdown)

Finance-Focused Summary

The presenter teaches a discretionary but rule-based forex strategy built around “wickless” candlesticks. He claims the approach has produced an 80%+ win rate in live streams, including a 24-win streak. He also says Forex Replay independently tested a short version of the strategy with more than 70% winners—and 90% after adding a condition. These are claims from the video, not independently verified performance evidence.

Strategy and Entry Framework

• Identify a wickless candle: A bullish candle has no lower wick; a bearish candle has no upper wick. The presenter interprets this as an imbalance that price may revisit.
• Trade with the trend:
  • An uptrend is defined by higher highs and higher lows; a downtrend by lower lows and lower highs.
  • Determine structure using candle bodies and closes, rather than wicks. A break of structure (BOS) occurs when price closes beyond a prior swing level.
  • Read the “internal” trend on the trading timeframe and the “external” trend on a higher timeframe, suggested as 4-hour.
  • Prefer trades when both trends agree. If they conflict, the presenter generally requires two consecutive internal BOS in the trade direction before looking for an entry.
• Enter on a return to the wickless candle: Mark the candle after it closes and wait for price to retrace to its area. The touch must occur within nine candles; fewer is preferred, ideally within four.
• Use ranges when there is no clear trend: Mark support and resistance (“decision zones”). Look for buys near the bottom of a range and sells near the top. The presenter treats a wickless candle at a decision zone as a strong setup and says a zone can override the trend rule.
• Consider unfilled imbalances: The presenter says an immediate, unfilled price imbalance may justify a countertrend entry after one BOS rather than waiting for two. He cautions against this when the imbalance has already been filled.
• Timeframes: Start with 15-minute setups, then prioritize a matching 30-minute signal over a 15-minute one, and an hourly signal over a 30-minute one. Assess the external trend on the 4-hour chart.

Stops, Targets, and Trade Management

• The standard target is approximately 1:1 risk/reward. In some range examples, the presenter mentions 1:1 or 1:2; an imbalance setup may allow slightly more than 1:1.
• Two stop-placement methods are offered:
  1. Place the stop just beyond the nearest relevant swing high or low, or structure-break level.
  2. Place it beyond the previous candle’s high or low.
• Leave a small buffer beyond the chosen level; doji candles are not treated as meaningful structure.
• If a setup’s 1:1 target lies beyond several barriers, the presenter recommends reducing the target to a more reachable level rather than keeping an unrealistic target.
• Once in a trade, generally leave it alone. If an opposing wickless candle closes, wait for a small move and shift the stop to breakeven. The presenter also describes moving the take-profit to breakeven in a specified drawdown scenario.
• For early entries, enter near a prior retest level when the wickless candle is unusually deep in the trend’s impulse. The presenter gives 2–4 pips as a rough illustration, not a fixed rule. A Gann square is offered as an optional guide: if the candle is below the 0.5 level, enter at the 0.5 level.

Markets, Sessions, and Cautions

• The focus is forex. The examples explicitly mention USD/JPY and AUD/JPY; the video does not provide a complete list of the pairs the presenter says he trades.
• Gold is discouraged: the presenter says it worked in 2023–2024 but later stopped working. NQ futures are mentioned as possibly compatible, though the presenter says he is not yet focused on futures.
• Suggested trading periods include London, New York, and late Asia. Avoid the New York open, the first three hours of Asia, late New York near the market close, and trading outside one’s chosen session.
• Avoid trading around major economic releases. The stated rule is one hour before and one hour after.
• Other cautions include late or exhausted trends, conflicting wickless candles, questionable or oversized stop/target setups, and trades that do not clearly meet the rules. The presenter recommends skipping uncertain setups and prioritizing a small number of higher-quality trades.

Prop-Firm Account-Rotation Method

The presenter recommends buying and trading three prop-firm accounts, using $50,000 accounts as an example:

• Trade one account until either two consecutive wins or one loss, then move to the next account.
• After one loss on an account, stop trading that account for the day and rotate onward. The examples imply a maximum of three losses or six wins across three accounts in a day.
• Reset and begin again the next day if all three accounts are “rejected” (the transcript’s wording).

The presenter claims this encourages winning streaks and limits losing streaks, and says a 60% win rate can be enough to pass an evaluation using this system. This is his asserted approach, not a guarantee. Account rules, fees, drawdown limits, and execution costs are not discussed in detail.

Performance Claims, Promotion, and Disclosures

• The title refers to an $800,000 strategy result, while the presenter says the system made him over seven figures within three years and before age 23. He also claims an 80%+ live win rate and a 24-trade winning streak.
• He cites student outcomes, including a claimed $12,000 in two months, an $8,000 payout, and access to two $150,000 funded accounts. These are promotional testimonials and are not independently verified in the subtitles.
• He promotes a paid mentoring program and says it is limited to 15 people per month.
• Homework is to backtest at least 50 trades.
• Disclosure: No explicit “not financial advice” disclaimer appears in the subtitles. The presenter says viewers need not take his word for the results and says Forex Replay tested a short version of the strategy without prior contact or affiliation. The video does not establish that the claimed win rates or earnings are independently verified, nor does it provide a complete account of costs or risks.
