The Only Smart money Strategy I Would Use If I Could Start Over

The video presents a trading strategy known as the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) continuation entry model, aimed at helping traders capitalize on missed trading opportunities due to market volatility. The key points discussed include:

Main Financial Strategies:

• SMC Continuation Entry Model: A strategy designed for entering trades when traditional entry points are missed.
• Market Behavior Analysis: Understanding how market volatility can create missed opportunities and how to navigate these situations.

Step-by-Step Methodology:

1. Market Analysis:
   • Identify a bullish structure on a higher time frame (e.g., 15-minute).
   • Look for breaks of structure (BOS) and unmitigated demand zones.
2. Zoom into Lower Time Frames:
   • Switch to a lower time frame (e.g., 1-minute) to observe price action.
   • Wait for price to touch the identified demand zone and look for a change of character (CH) or flip pattern indicating a market structure shift.
3. Wait for Confirmation:
   • After a CH pattern forms, wait for a break of structure and a breakout from the supply zone.
   • Ensure there is inefficiency left behind after the break of structure.
4. Identify Liquidity Zones:
   • Look for Liquidity Zones (e.g., double bottoms, trendline liquidity) near the demand zone.
   • Confirm a liquidity sweep pattern before placing a trade to ensure strength in the identified area.
5. Execute Trade:
   • Place a buy limit order at the highest point of the demand zone with a stop loss a few pips below the lowest point.
   • Set the take profit at the swing high.
6. Manage Open Positions:
   • Limit the number of open positions to a maximum of three.
   • For subsequent trades, risk half the position size of the first trade.
7. Backtesting:
   • Backtest the strategy at least 100 times before applying it to a real account.

Key Points:

• Use liquidity sweeps as a confirmation factor for trade execution.
• Monitor market movements closely after placing orders.
