Speaker A
Um, I took three trades, and this is my second day on this pro account, putting me in a total of $28,000 in profit.
Speaker A
Now, first things first is going to identify our draws on liquidity, okay? On every single trade, I have clear draws on liquidity that I want to go see take, and that's what makes a, you know, a trade good.
Speaker A
Now, the first draw on liquidity that I saw was these equal lows right here.
Speaker A
We left equal lows, and we went without tapping them. Second thing of all is identifying our midnight structure right here.
Speaker A
As you guys can see, we have our midnight deviation, midnight open right there, and then we broke to the upside with the
Speaker A
manipulation leg, and then this is the midnight deviation. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can go on my old videos and go see what I'm talking about. After that, we tapped into the minus 2.5 and started reacting from
Speaker A
this. I didn't get an entry initially from here because I thought it was going to be a high-risk sell. But then after that, we created a valid range from a fib right here. We tapped up into 0.62 right
Speaker A
there, and we created a massive SMT. Now, this was my perfect entry because we were close to the DOL, and then we created another entry trigger right here. We created a 5-minute fair value gap right there. As you guys can see, we
Speaker A
re-tapped it, and then 499 was my entry. So, four, or no, 399 was my entry, and then TP it right here, and then stop loss was at 10 points.
Speaker A
All right, there. 10 points, and as you guys can see here, this was my entry, 399.25, and then I just kept moving my stop loss, and then as you guys can see here, 255.75 was my TP, which was, you know, those equal
Speaker A
lows. Now, after that, we started opening. We opened New York session and we chopped for a little bit, so I didn't really want to look for trades there.
Speaker A
Uh, and then we opened up and then I saw that we left, we opened 10:00 a.m. open right here.
Speaker A
And I saw that we left these equal lows, these equal highs, right? And these equal highs are over here.
Speaker A
All of those equal highs, and then we didn't take them at that like expansion move. So, I was thinking, "Okay, this is going to be a perfect retrace for us to long." And that was exactly it. Now, why didn't I take 10:00
Speaker A
a.m. directly and waited for an entry trigger? It was because we have 0.5 below. At 0.5 below, I was thinking, "Okay, we need to rebalance the range, not tap 10:00 a.m. open, right?" That's the important thing. Rebalance the
Speaker A
range, not tap 10:00 a.m. open. After that, we started reactions, we created a CISD, and that was my entry right here.
Speaker A
A CISD. I market ordered and I got a really wonderful fill right here. Uh, I think it was 488, so right there.
Speaker A
Stop was just below this right here, so 20 points. And then again, just targeting these highs over here.
Speaker A
I ended up not holding as much. I think I ended up closing at like this peak, right? Where I pretty much got excited and you guys are going to see why.
Speaker A
It was because of this. I was in three contracts, I was up $12,000, and then 666. Oh, so, 666. It was right here, like we were trying to edge it and, you know, I just manually closed, so I think my
Speaker A
fill was all the way there. But as you guys can see, those are the executions with that. And then this third and last trade for yesterday was another very simple trade. It was my DOL was
Speaker A
still up. We were still going up and I thought, "Okay, we rebalanced this range. Now we create a new balanced range and then we want to keep going up." Now, why did I want it to keep going up?
Speaker A
Because we had a lot of, we have these highs over here, which are the Asia highs, and like it's relatively equal highs, and we had all of these highs, which are, you know, ugly looking. So, I was just bullish for the
Speaker A
for the day. And then the next trade was just another very simple trade. It was 7:05 of the OT of this range. Now, why did I choose this range? It was because this range was already rebalanced. So, 7:05
Speaker A
we tapped into it. It aligned with a 15-minute CISD, a 30-minute rejection block, a 5-minute order block, and then I pretty much just put a limit on that with a 15-point stop loss. So, boom.
Speaker A
15-point stop loss right there, and then TP. I had my TP initially all the way here, but I ended up getting trailed out at these lows over here. So, this right there. That was my trail. So, full TP
Speaker A
would have just been like this. So, 138 points, a 1:2 RR, and then yep.
Speaker A
And as you guys can see, these are the executions. 500.25. It was literally just a limit 500.25 with just a limit at the OT with a 15-point stop loss, and then as you guys can see there, I kept
Speaker A
trailing my stop loss right here. So, every new order block that we formed I kept trailing it. So, this order block trail, this order block trail, this order block trail. And then we created this order block trail.
Speaker A
And then after that, this new order block trail. After this, we were so close to my TP. I should have trailed more aggressively, but I ended up getting stopped out right there, which I missed. I missed, I think I missed on like
