EURNZD - A Top-Down Tutorial (ICT)In this video I go through how I perform a top-down analysis and zone in on exactly where I am in price action in order to source for the next high-probability trade. IF there is none, then we stay out until more clues are provided. We DO NOT want to chase price and get in on consolidative and manipulative price action. We want to be hunters, not sheep.

How I Perform My Analysis (ICT Concepts)This video is for educational purposes, but feel free to enjoy the analysis using ICT Concepts.
I had trouble uploading this a couple of days ago, but finally works.
Update on the analysis, price came to a Daily SIBI, but the overall directional bias and target should still be intact.

Trade Like A Sniper - Episode 13 - AUDNZD - (3rd June 2024)This video is part of a video series where I backtest a specific asset using the TradingView Replay function, and perform a top-down analysis using ICT's Concepts in order to frame ONE high-probability setup. I choose a random point of time to replay, and begin to work my way down the timeframes. Trading like a sniper is not about entries with no drawdown. It is about careful planning, discipline, and taking your shot at the right time in the best of conditions.
A couple of things to note:
- I cannot see news events.
- I cannot change timeframes without affecting my bias due to higher-timeframe candles revealing its entire range.
- I cannot go to a very low timeframe due to the limit in amount of replayed candlesticks
In this session I will be analyzing AUDNZD, starting from the 12-Month chart.

My Backtesting Results on NZDCHFHolding trades is what I want to get better at and backtesting is going to help me do it.
I've backtested NZDCHF today and found that it was a remarkable session.
I was able to enter 4 trades in the span of 3 months gaining over what would have been 15% from the trades, but one trade hit my break even point so I gained around 12% from my trades.
I used the monthly, weekly, and daily timeframes with most of my entries coming from the daily timeframe.
I used my own strategy known as TMP. It stands for Trend, Market Structure, Price Action(or, pending orders).
I identify the trend first, then set my estimation zone, then place my pending order. In that order, thats it.
I don't use support and resistance, trend lines, or indicators for the most part. I like using price action. Its my preference that has changed throughout my trading career.
I've noticed I a few reasons why I don't enter my best setups are due it
1) Money trauma( family had poor money management)
2) Time limit( pressure from showing results)
To get over those, I have set parameters to take partials, move my trades to break even, and set pending orders to eliminate myself not entering my own trades.
This helps in the long run and has helped since collecting data on myself since the start of me using prop firms.
I can only pray that through my backtesting and trading journey, this can help you too.
Please let me know if you have questions regarding my backtesting or found something unique that helped you.
Safe trading❤️
Setting Pending Orders and Breakeven TradesHi Purpose Traders. In this video, I will be showing you how to set a sell limit and how to move a trade to breakeven. Both of these are vital to being a profitable trader because there may be times you cannot set manual orders due to time or distractions. There will come a time when you in good profit and you don't want to risk giving it back.

How I Trade The NZDJPYHere's a tutorial on my strategy trading the NZDJPY. Currently in a bullish trend and I'm looking for pullbacks and an opportunity to capitalise on each pull back throughout the trend. This is a way we can build our position and continue to take money out of the markets. The strategy is based on trend continuation. Not financial advice.
When Not To Trade A Currency PairDo you know what it looks like when you don't have a trade? Let's face it, there are a lot of videos that tells you when to place a trade or how to trade, but not when not to trade and that is what I'm showing you in detail today.

NZDJPY (2H) interesting situation.In the screencast I show two possible head and shoulder patterns - with a degree of uncertainty.
The bigger issues are signs of a trend change and momentum developing for the south. So, it doesn't matter at this stage where the base of the head and shoulders is. It is a no-loss position I'm in at the moment.
Patience, discipline and a bit of judgementOne of the big issues for many traders is simply patience.
In this video I'm showing how one set up could have taken 63 days to deliver around 500 points. What's the rush? Let the charts work for you.
Patience and discipline takes time to develop, of course. Do the time. Take the time. Let time work for you.
Sometimes a bit of judgement is required. But whatever we do, minimising loss is the big issue.
Taking an affordable chance (or loss) is sometimes necessary - as in this game there is no certainty. My own methods therefore do not rely on 'confirmations'.
Importantly in this 6H chart, one need not check the trade more than once or twice per week.
When the money is on the floor - take it!In this viog I spotted a set up and did not plan to trail. So, the money is on the floor and I take it. Greed and FOMO are not the ways to go.
I share how I use some indicators and price movement to assess the situation before entry. I trade what I see, not what I hear. :))
The most important things in trading:
1. See
2. Assess
3. Calculate if risk is acceptable.
4. Define entry.
5. Decide on exit.
Exit strategies do not have to include a target. I know some people who have missed loads of profits because price missed a targets by about 2 - 10 pips. I call that silly.
The important issue is to have exit criteria, which could be any set of situations on the chart that you define. A 'target' therefore does not have to be a fixed point. In trend-following trading for example there are no targets at all. But there are exit criteria.
But nothing is perfect. If the situation changes and there is doubt about exit, just take the money!
