Yes, my friends. We've been on a great heater this week as you can see. Uh took some ENQ longs yesterday. Nice break of NTP here. GC shorts today. Nice SLTP here. And it's just following this simple three-step trading strategy I'm about to show you now.
Literally, all you want to do is find the trend. Okay? If you're in a downtrend, you want to use a valid high. If you're in an uptrend, you want to use a valid low, which I'm using intraday trading. So, this is on the 15-minute time frame. I'm finding the trend on the 15-minute time frame. I'm looking for a valid high if I'm looking for sells, a valid low if I'm looking for buys. And then within that area, you're going to find your AMN six tap zone. And then the final step is within that zone, just look for a lower time frame entry.
So what I mean is let's say we are in a downtrend on this 15 minute, okay, when price forms valid highs. And what valid high is it? It's when we have, okay, a swing high. The swing high can be any color. So we have this candle here, and this candle is a swing high. Why? Because it's higher than the one to the left. And guess what? It's going to be higher than the one to the right. Boom. Boom. Okay. Now, let's say this is, let's make this a bullish candle. Let's make this a bearish candle. And let's make this a bullish candle. So, it's a swing high. This is my swing high. My highest bullish candle in this scenario is this candle here because this bullish candle did not close above this bullish candle. This is where a lot of people make this mistake. It's how I classify a valid fallback. The full lag in detail definition is in my course. But you go, you start from the left of the swing high, find the highest bullish candle. This isn't the highest bullish candle. This is the highest bullish candle. So once we close below this bullish candle here, right? I'm playing out like it's real. Um, once we do this, this then becomes my validated high because we had a swing high here, right? Close below the high is bullish here. So now I draw a zone from here to here. Okay, this is my zone. Draw like that. This is the area I want to find my six taps for then to price to shift lower. Okay, bear with me. I will go into the chart and show examples.
And it's the same thing in an uptrend. Okay, if I'm in an uptrend and I'm expecting price to go higher, I need a swing low. This in my scenario is a swing low. Okay, I'm have to reverse these round. And then I need to close above the lowest bearish. So to the left of my swing low, what is the lowest bearish candle? Is this one here. Once we close above, boom, that becomes my valid low. Now I can expect price to return into this area and shift higher. Okay, so valid lows in an uptrend are high probability areas. Valid highs in a downtrend are high probability areas. And then the last step is just looking for that lower time frame shift in structure from price making lower highs and lower lows to a buyer high and then a downtrend price making higher lows and higher highs to a lower low for you to sell. So this might sound so, so easy, so, so effective. You don't need to spend an hour with I need daily bias here and I, I need to know what the hourly fair value. It's literally just three candles and boom, you're sorted. So, and it's how I've taken every trade this week and everyone's been a winner.
All right, sweet. So, this was the first trade taken yesterday. And we have to understand on the 15 minute, we are purely looking, okay, is the next couple of candles likely to continue higher or lower? Don't need to zoom out. We don't need to go on a daily time frame. Literally, just 15-minute time frame. Is price more likely to continue higher or lower in the next couple candles? And we can just look at what price has done, what price is doing, and then get a clear simple bias on that. I don't need to zoom out. I can just focus on this little leg here. What can I see? The first thing I can see is that apologies. This low, this high here failed to make a lower low, right? It actually made a higher low. First indication that if price wanted to continue lower, we should be making lower highs and lower lows. That failed to do so. Second indication is we actually broke structure to the upside here. Right? So, we're creating bullish structure to the upside, breaking highs, respecting lows. Another indication. Let's look at a bit of order flow. Bearish fair value gap here. What happened? Inversed. All these bearish fair value gaps here. What happened? Inversed. We left behind a bullish fair value gap. Every small one respected, continued higher. Even in this more recent price action, bearish fair value gaps here inversed. Okay, we had this one here and you can see held down price once, twice. We've just broken through it now. So if I had to predict for the next hour or so, the next four or five candles, would I feel more comfortable buying or selling? It's clear to me I would feel more comfortable buying unless price gives me another reason to. But I'm stacking up the arguments here. Just go for buys. Simple.
So now, where can I find a valid low? What is the first step? The first step is a swing low. What do we have here? Boom. A swing low. Where is the lowest bearish candle? It's also this candle here. Boom. We closed above it. Okay, we have to close above that bearish candle. Boom. This now validates this as a swing low. So now if price wants to continue higher, I'm just expecting it to respect this low and continue higher because in uptrends we respect lows. Downtrends we respect highs. So if price wants to continue higher based on my uptrend bias I've gathered, I'm looking for price to respect this low. Let's drop down to the one-minute time frame now. So we've done the trend, we've got the valid low. We just need to find a six tap within it. What do we have? You should know how to what the six tap is now, etc. Go to any video. We explain it. One, two, three, four. Let's play out to see if we have a higher five. Okay, five. Don't want to skip it too much there. But we've got our valid low and within our valid low, we have a beautiful six tap. So everything is starting to make sense. For extra confluence, we even have this POI, this fair value gap resting just below this liquidity here. So guess what? As price comes to sweep this fair value, this liquidity and tap into this fair value gap here. Now, we same thing on the 15 minute when we said, okay, we saw these things. It told us we want to go higher. Same thing on the one minute. Now, we look for things that tell us, okay, our bias is right. We want to go higher because we're not always going to be right. This will save you so many times. So, now let me confirm I have the right bias, etc. Well, the first thing I can see is what did we do? We inversed these two bearish high value gaps. H possible sign price wants to reverse. I just wanted to see price take this high here as my confirmation that, you know what, this is now a good trade. We took the high here. Now, I was convinced that my thesis was right. We're respecting this valid low. Want to continue higher to this high here. Where can I get a good entry? We had this small area of demand here. So, I just entered long here, stop loss at this low, targeting the higher high. Stop loss was at the swing low. Boom. Tagged in pretty much zero draw down. Smash take profit. Simple, simple. Make myself smaller. Three, three-step strategy. And let's go again on the next one.
So the next trade on the exact same day was EU. Now again, we go on the 15-minute time frame. Price likely to go higher or likely to go lower. Let's see what we did immediately off the bat. I can see we had this bullish fair value gap inversed. All these bullish fair value gaps inversed. Okay, we had a high. This low failed to make a new high, right? High, low, failure to make a new high, continue lower. Another possible indication price is bearish. We also had a bearish fair value gap that price has touched, move lower. I should be leaning bearish and we insignificant swing low. It's not really an important swing low, but we still took a swing low. So everything is leaning bearish. I can't really find a reason to look bullish. Me going, oh, maybe we're going to bounce from here, here, here. Why try to do that when I can just go with the current flow? So now if I'm bearish, what am I looking for? A valid high. What is the first step? A swing high. Boom. On the 15-minute time frame, we have a nice swing high near price here. Now, I need a candle close below the highest bullish candle. What do we have here? This is also the highest bullish candle. We close below it. So, this area here is now where I'm looking for my six taps. Let's drop down to the one minute. What do we have? You can see we have within this area, this beautiful area of supply with liquidity resting within here. So the game plan is to wait for price to sweep this and then look for a short low. Simple stuff. Let's see what price did. There was a sweep. Now we need some sort of confirmation. We don't really have clear structure. So what did I do? So on a two-minute, we have this fair value gap that has respected price, right? Price is touching it, moving higher. It's a good area, and we've also tapped into a bearish value gap. So let's see what we do. If we can inverse it. I believe there is when I sent the alert, once we did just close below it here, set on a slight pullback. Stop loss at the high. Target the lower low. Look at that amazing accuracy. I didn't do anything smart. Just happens a lot of the time. Price wants to go lower. I'm more likely to respect these highs. Price wants to go uh higher, more likely to respect valid lows. Boom. But we knew price wants to go lower on the 15 minute. We just saw a valid high. Price came six tap model here. Boom. Six and then dumped. Simple stuff.
Let's do the last one which was today on gold. Took this trade again. Let's look at what price is doing. So we have a bearish value gap here. Price is respecting. We then right, if we look at structure, we had a high, low, high, high, a lower low indicating market structure is bearish. Okay. We then took this low here. Where did we retrace into? Retraced into this area of supply. Right? As we came into this area of supply, we broke structure to the downside. Now, this sounds complicated maybe to some of you, but it's just simple market structure. Broke structure to the downside here. So, now I'm expecting price to respect this high and break lower. So my bias for the day in literally two seconds, forget everything else, just like, okay, price is more likely to respect this high, price is more likely to continue lower. Have we formed any valid highs? Yes. What do we have? Swing high within here. This is the highest bullish candle. What do we do? We close below it on the next candle. So let me draw this area and let me drop down and see if I can find a nice six time. All right. Now we can extend this to this leg here. High, low, high, high. Boom. Right. They pass out. What did we leave within this leg? We left liquidity. So now I can look for price to sweep this and continue low. One, two, three, four, five. There's a sweep. What do we want now? We want some sort confirmation because if we're wrong, price just going to break this and we don't get a trade compared to losing money. Didn't see anything interesting yet. Now you can see we have a clear swing low. Originally, I wanted this fair value gap to adverse as my sign. But as you can see, price suspected it, moved higher. I had no reason to enter. Now we have moved higher. I can use this low here as my confirmation. So let's wait for price to break it. Boom. Candle close below it. Entry is where? On the pullback. Stop loss above the high. Targeting this low and then targeting this external low here because that's where we're expecting price to go. What do we do? Boom. Price is in a downtrend. We respect this 15-minute valid high. Price is in an uptrend. We respect this 15-minute valid low. We look for six taps within here. Get your confirmation. It's it's simple and it is beautiful.
