Summary of Key Financial Strategies, Market Analyses, and Business Trends:
The video primarily focuses on trading strategies, market structure analysis, and mindset tips, emphasizing practical approaches to trading assets like NASDAQ, gold, and cryptocurrencies, with a specific highlight on achieving over $1.3M profit in June.
Main Financial Strategies & Trading Methodologies:
-
Trading Instruments & Preferences:
- Primarily trades NASDAQ and gold due to high volume and clear session movements (London and New York sessions).
- Crypto trading is approached with a longer-term view, using daily and 4-hour time frames.
- Margin trading in crypto is preferred over holding coins for better profit potential.
- Avoids trading random pairs or low-volume instruments.
- Rarely trades US30 but monitors it occasionally.
-
Market Structure Analysis:
- Focus on pivot highs and lows (swing highs and swing lows) to identify market structure.
- Price movements are analyzed relative to these swing points to determine if buyers or sellers have control.
- Identification of new highs and new lows is crucial for trend direction:
- A break below a swing low signals bearish control.
- A break above a swing high signals bullish control.
- Use of multiple time frames:
- Higher time frames (1 hour, 4 hour) for trend direction.
- Lower time frames (15 minute, 5 minute) for entry timing.
- Emphasis on waiting for price confirmation on lower time frames before entering trades.
- Price consolidations on lower time frames (5m, 15m) indicate untradeable sessions.
-
Trading Setup Process (Step-by-Step Guide):
- Check for current indications (price action signals like breakouts or reversals).
- If no indications, locate current swing highs or swing lows to define market structure.
- Identify where the indication started (initial breakout or breakdown level).
- Determine where the correction starts and ends—buyers or sellers stepping in.
- Scale down to lower time frames (15m, 5m) to time entries aligned with the higher time frame trend.
- Entry is taken when the lower time frame confirms momentum shift (e.g., breaking a swing high on 15m in a bullish setup).
- Stop loss placed above/below recent swing points.
- Target set at the level where the initial indication began or ended.
- Always be flexible with bias; if price action contradicts initial analysis, adjust accordingly.
- Session-Based Trading Insights:
-
Risk Management & Trade Frequency:
- Takes relatively few trades per month (4-9 trades in June).
- Trades are mostly swing trades, not day trades.
- Accepts losses and adjusts strategy accordingly.
- Emphasizes patience and waiting for clear setups rather than forcing trades.
- Avoids trading on Fridays or during major news events unless strategy accounts for it.
-
Broker & Leverage Insights:
- Prefers brokers offering high leverage (up to 1:500), which is generally unavailable in the US.
- Warns against unregulated brokers and deposit bonus scams.
- No “best broker” exists; the key is ensuring the broker pays out and keeps funds safe.
- Explains the trade-off between spreads and commissions in broker pricing.
- Advises skepticism toward brokers promising zero spreads and zero commissions.
-
Trading Psychology & Mindset:
- Fear is the biggest obstacle—fear of losing, fear of missing out, fear of being wrong.
- Emphasizes overcoming anxiety and nervousness to follow setups confidently.
- Trading is random; no strategy is foolproof, but building an edge reduces randomness.
- Encourages flexibility in bias; adapt to what the market shows, not what you want.
- Practice and mindset development are ongoing processes.
- Mentions watching trading psychology videos and TED talks to improve mindset.
- Recognizes that sometimes knowing the right thing doesn’t mean you can do it—discipline is key.
-
General Trading Advice:
- Start trading with a small account (e.g., $10K) before scaling up to larger funded accounts.
- Avoid jumping into expensive funded accounts or prop firms without experience.
- Prop firms with strict consistency rules can be challenging; prefers prop firms without those rules.
- Avoid overcomplicating charts; focus on price action around buyer and seller levels rather than fancy indicators.
- Use tools like Notion for journaling and tracking trading setups and rules.
