01:50

Speaker A

you know, I show my P&L plenty, my consistent six-figure months using the Strat, but I think it speaks more volumes to show that to show the students and their success that they have with this. And lastly, before I get

02:22

Speaker A

description as well. All right, let's get right into the rules with this strategy. For the best results, we want something that's called higher time frame candle outlook. And that can be one of three signatures with the Strat.

02:35

Speaker A

videos as well as of course like psychology tips, etc. Make sure you follow me on X or Twitter. There's a link in the video description. I've kind of have like a love-hate relationship with IG. I don't really like IG, um you

02:46

Speaker A

starting with the number three candle from Friday. Okay, what makes this a number three candle? Well, do you see how price took out this low of that prior candle? You're using a 4 hour, by the way. You're using a you're using a

02:59

Speaker A

know because it's like Furu land over there. But I have a thought about getting back on there and putting like short form videos on there as well because it could be a little bit more organized than what I got on here

03:13

Speaker A

with a strat. Whenever that happens on the close, you got to wait on the close.

03:16

Speaker A

because I kind of mix it up with a different post. So, I'm going to keep doing it. I'm going to keep doing it on Twitter as well. But if that interests you, you can let me know in the comments

03:24

Speaker A

Whenever we have this, so we pair a 4hour candlestick with 15minute market structure. Let me show you this is 15minute bullish market structure.

03:35

Speaker A

below if you would find like IG short form educational videos with the Strat useful. Like it's only going to be videos like so it's like all in one place very organized and I'll have like a huge feed of short form videos if that

03:50

Speaker A

need to see a pullback into a discount for the best results. Now, are there scenarios where I'll be a little bit more aggressive and um I don't need a premium or discount? Yes, I call it multi-time frame alignment, but most

04:04

Speaker A

interests you. You can let me know below in the comments and I could start doing that as well to give you a little bit extra information. So there'll be a link to my Instagram IG in the video

04:16

Speaker A

free discord too which you can check but that's where I talk about it very simple but right here do you see how this swing point do you see how this right here grab this swing low it takes a swing low

04:29

Speaker A

description as well. All right, let's get right into the rules with this strategy. For the best results, we want something that's called higher time frame candle outlook. And that can be one of three signatures with the Strat.

04:46

Speaker A

considered bargain. You can see it right here as well. See how price pulled back into it. It hit 50% bargain prices pushed up. Why? Because it got cheap momentarily.

04:56

Speaker A

It's either going to be a number three candle, a number two candle, or a failed two. And in this video, I'm going to display all three for you so you can see all three in action. All right, we're

05:12

Speaker A

want to see next is now that we understand we have the number three candle on the 4 hour for higher time frame candle outlook. We have 15-minute bullish structure. We have our dealing range established a very mechanical. You

05:25

Speaker A

starting with the number three candle from Friday. Okay, what makes this a number three candle? Well, do you see how price took out this low of that prior candle? You're using a 4-hour, by the way. You're using a you're using a

05:34

Speaker A

And you see it pulls back into it. And then what does it do? It grabs liquidity. That's what you want. I want you to think of liquidity as like the fuel for price, right? To make it simple, you have a destination you want

05:46

Speaker A

4-hour candlestick. And do you see how it engulfed this high right here? Took the low, engulfed the high, making it a number three candle with a strat. So, this opens up at 6:00 and then it closes at 10. So, this is a bullish signature

05:57

Speaker A

tank right here. And the destination is up in here because we have the number three candle continuation signature. You see? So, it it stops down in a discount to collect liquidity. And then once you have pulled back into the discount,

06:12

Speaker A

with a strat. Whenever that happens on the close, you got to wait on the close.

06:23

Speaker A

Do you see how this 15-minute candlestick took that low where my cursor is pointing and it failed to displace and close right here above it?

06:32

Speaker A

And essentially like what this does is it gives me a bias for the morning session. Now you need to understand that this is 15-minute bullish structure.

06:48

Speaker A

remember how a second ago I told you that we pair a 4hour candlestick with 15-minute structure? Remember, you pair a 15-minute candlestick with one minute structure and you hunt for the shift. It's going to have a very specific condition

07:08

Speaker A

Whenever we have this, so we pair a 4-hour candlestick with 15-minute market structure. Let me show you this is 15-minute bullish market structure.

07:14

Speaker A

See that gap in between? And you want to see a strong close above a one minute swing high. Let me just remove it so you can see it better. Swing high right here. Highest high in the middle, lower

07:24

Speaker A

See how it's consistently putting in higher lows, making new highs with the number three candle with a strat, and you're going into 10:00. So it's very mechanical and we have already established the trend. Now here's the next step. You

07:34

Speaker A

When you have that signature, it becomes higher probability. And that's what most people don't do with the strat. And that's why it's a big reason why I have such good followthrough alongside like my higher time frame candle outlook. Now, when it

07:47

Speaker A

need to see a pullback into a discount for the best results. Now, are there scenarios where I'll be a little bit more aggressive and I don't need a premium or discount? Yes, I call it multi-time frame alignment, but most

08:03

Speaker A

project it higher. Boom. Right here. What next? Because there's no magic in taking that projection higher. The more important thing is like that's just a mechanical way to get a low hanging ejected target. The more important thing is what liquidity is there or

08:19

Speaker A

scenarios that I get, it's I need that premium and discount. And I talk about multi-time frame alignment more in the 1% club. So, if you do want to learn that, then that's where you're going to find it. I might have some videos in the

08:31

Speaker A

So, here's what I'll do in this scenario cuz this happens sometimes. When I take that projection, I'll look at the 15minute and I'll see like what my next key liquidity pool is on that 15-minute.

08:43

Speaker A

free Discord too which you can check but that's where I talk about it very simple but right here do you see how this swing point do you see how this right here grab this swing low it takes a swing low

08:52

Speaker A

It's just like right above it. You see? So, it was um not a bad PT, but what I'll typically do if it's like my PT or like the liquidity pool is a little bit aggressive or a little bit above it,

09:07

Speaker A

and it makes a new high whenever you're drawing on your Fibonacci you take your Fibonacci from the low that grabbed a prior swing point to the high do you see 50% equilibrium once it gets to that area it's

09:21

Speaker A

on that projection. So, I like this for a PT for that reason. Although you could have shot for this as well, I figured it was going to take out both, but I just went with this cuz I want to be in and

09:31

Speaker A

considered bargain. You can see it right here as well. See how price pulled back into it. It hit 50% bargain prices pushed up. Why? Because it got cheap momentarily.

09:36

Speaker A

Do you see right here in the 1% club? So it still gave it like plenty of wiggle room to work. So I like kind of like I like that that balance between it's a good low hanging objective target, but

09:47

Speaker A

And then what does it do here? It gets expensive again. Super simple. So you see how it gets expensive again. And then we go into 10 10:00 to remind you where we had that 4-hour 3 close and confirm. So what you

09:56

Speaker A

over the other two examples. So, remember this was a number three candle. The next one we're going to go over for higher time candle outlook is a number two candle. So, here's the only difference here. We talked about the

10:08

Speaker A

want to see next is now that we understand we have the number three candle on the 4 hour for higher time frame candle outlook. We have 15-minute bullish structure. We have our dealing range established a very mechanical. You

10:22

Speaker A

low? That's a bearish two. So, it didn't take out the prior candle high. That's fine. Strong close to 10:00 because you got to have that close. That makes it a two candle. So, it's still so simply it's still showing weakness. No signs of

10:37

Speaker A

want to see it pull back into a discount. Okay? It just needs to pull back into it. It doesn't need to stay there. It needs to pull back into it.

10:51

Speaker A

bare structure. So, we have a 4 hour two and we have 15-minute bare structure.

10:55

Speaker A

And you see it pulls back into it. And then what does it do? It grabs liquidity. That's what you want. I want you to think of liquidity as like the fuel for price, right? To make it simple, you have a destination you want

11:09

Speaker A

process. See how I grab that swing high? Anchor that from this high to that low.

11:14

Speaker A

to reach, but you're running on empty. You don't have any like you're almost running out of gas. You got to stop at the gas station. That's what price is doing right here. It's stopping at the gas station. It's filling up the

11:19

Speaker A

So I held off. I didn't hit this right here. I was patient. And then boom, look, there's your failed two. So it take it comes up to a premium, takes out this high, fails the displace. Now go inside there and make sure it has the

11:33

Speaker A

tank right here. And the destination is up in here because we have the number three candle continuation signature. You see? So, it stops down in a discount to collect liquidity. And then once you have pulled back into the discount,

11:45

Speaker A

aggressive with this on this particular day. It did eventually end up hitting my target down below, but it was later on that it did it. So, it took it a while because it like this was like 9:30 lows

11:56

Speaker A

you're going to hunt for a very powerful simple signature with a strat. That is a bullish failed two. This is what it looks like.

12:07

Speaker A

typically do, like I showed you prior, is I'll take the length of this failed two and then I'll project that lower. So that's the projection. What did I tell you a second ago? If you don't have much on the

12:20

Speaker A

Do you see how this 15-minute candlestick took that low where my cursor is pointing and it failed to displace and close right here above it?

12:33

Speaker A

see that that 5 minute go down to a 1 minute your final time frame and you do that you're going to have something cuz it's either going to be like an inefficiency or a sales to liquidity pool. So do you see like right at this

12:44

Speaker A

That makes it a bullish fail two. So look, you want to go inside this right here, and you want to hunt for a one minute shift. So you're just simply going inside the 15-minute candlestick and hunt for this. You

12:49

Speaker A

Now you might be thinking to yourself, okay, but let's imagine it didn't have that, right? Let's imagine it didn't have like any one minute imbalance or any one minute swing point in here to target in that projection and this was

13:00

Speaker A

remember how a second ago I told you that we pair a 4-hour candlestick with 15-minute structure? Remember, you pair a 15-minute candlestick with one minute structure and you hunt for the shift. It's going to have a very specific condition

13:06

Speaker A

Simple as that. So like I said, it's not a bad PT. So if you didn't have anything in there, then you can just do it like that. You just got to hold it a little bit longer. But most times you're going

13:15

Speaker A

that's going to have a fair value gap in it. The failed two. The high of that candle, low of that candle, don't touch.

13:27

Speaker A

just a higher time frame for a higher time for candle outlook. So you have this 4 hour right here. You had this filled two opens at six closes at 10.

13:35

Speaker A

See that gap in between? And you want to see a strong close above a one minute swing high. Let me just remove it so you can see it better. Swing high right here. Highest high in the middle, lower

13:43

Speaker A

It has that criteria for a shift. Now did it sell off more? Yeah, it did. And I liked it even more. You know, there's this big mistake that people make thinking that it took out this low, so it's no longer

13:58

Speaker A

high on the left, lower high on the right, swing high. This candlestick right here, strong close above that fair value gap, strong close. And it's all inside of that 15-minute bullish fil.

14:13

Speaker A

bias for the morning session and that bias isn't going to change anytime soon. So, we have a reversal signature here with the strat into the 10:00 and we have price just coming down simply into a deeper discount.

14:26

Speaker A

When you have that signature, it becomes higher probability. And that's what most people don't do with the strat. And that's why it's a big reason why I have such good follow-through alongside like my higher time frame candle outlook. Now, when it

14:39

Speaker A

minute inside of it. This one did. Receipts as always, and that was a little bit aggressive, too. But, you know, I'll explain. you know um the thought [clears throat] process cuz here's your failed two remember 4hour failed two is the higher confer candle

14:53

Speaker A

comes to PT and stop, very simple. As a scalper, this is a very simple way to do it. I want you to take the length of your failed two, whatever that happens to be at the time. Take that length and

15:04

Speaker A

could have been a little bit more conservative with it there was nothing wrong with that but I didn't have anything on that 15-minut so that's what I did I went down to the 5m minute and I saw I had like this right in here this

15:13

Speaker A

project it higher. Boom. Right here. What next? Because there's no magic in taking that projection higher. The more important thing is like that's just a mechan

15:22

Speaker A

I was able to stay in it. So you don't got to be perfect with the entry. It could fluctuate do its thing. So I liked it for that reason as well. But yeah, you could have been um [clears throat]

15:32

Speaker A

more conservative as well and you could have shot for this which is like right at that projection area. See that one minute buy side? Either way you did it, you got paid. And reminder, if you do want to learn a little bit more about
