He's crushed the CFD space. He's currently taking over the future space. This is a very high risk-to-reward strategy breakdown that we're going to be doing today. And without further ado, it is the one and only TG Capital, aka Tyler.
Great to be here with you, man. I'm super excited to be here. It's a dream come true for me, to be honest.
It's my pleasure. I I even reached out to you in the DM. I was like, I was going to be on one of these with you one day, and it was a goal for me, and I'm just glad to be here with you today.
Talk it out. My pleasure. Where should we begin, then? Let's We're going to go with I have a few setups that I that I utilize, but let's for the sake of today, let's just go over the one that I utilize to make the most amount of money.
Yeah. So, the first thing that I'm going to write here is that before anything, we're we're strictly going to be trading in the London kill zone. So, I'll write out here, we're only going to be trading London from the hours of 3:00 a.m. And this is all NY time, okay? To And I'll usually stop looking for entries at around 6:30 a.m. So, right when like New York crosses over, that's when I'll stop looking for my entries.
Yeah. Okay. So once we have the kill zone established, we're only going to be trading on one time frame. Why? To keep it simple. So we're only going to be trading the 30 minute time frame.
Interesting. And we're going to use for our take profit, we're going to use the daily chart. So the daily is our TP because why? We want to know the overall narrative of the market and we want to uh go with the higher time frame structure. So to me the 30 minute is still low time frame. like to each his own. Anything below the hour for me is is still low time frame. So this is what are going to be our main focus here. So before any TA or any price action, we need these these uh this to be established. So once I know that now I'm going to come into the market. I have a few indicators that I utilize cuz I I'm more of trading with the trend. And I'm going to also state this. The most amount of money that I made, I am a long biased trader. So, I'm mostly taking longs or looking for longs. I'm not good at shorting. I just based on my back testing and my data, I'm just not a good good at shorting. I don't know. Just I have years of data from it and most of my money came from longs and especially on naturally bullish assets like gold and and the NASDAQ. So, I I'm taking advantage of a naturally occurring bullish asset in the market and then just simply waiting. That's the that's the problem that a lot of people have is that they don't have the patience. They need to feel like they need to be in the markets all the time. And for me, that's where I really struggled at first is that I was looking for a trade every single day on the lower time frames. And then when I scaled back and I really just focused more on the higher time frames, then I really saw a lot of success and actually snowballed and happened from really really fast. So less is truly more. I may it may sound like a cliche statement, but it really did work for me.
Hey guys, just a very very quick one. If you're enjoying this playbook and you want to get it sent directly to you, make sure to go on chart fanatics.com, put your email in, and every episode we drop, we will send you a direct PDF breaking down this exact playbook. Or alternatively, also the playbooks will be put all together with the rules over on Trade Zella. That is an incredible collaboration. So, if you want to actually add the playbook to your Trade Zella, make sure you go check that out as well. But let's get back into this episode.
So, going on here now, I'm going to I'm going to go with a different market here. So, I have a few EMAs that I use. So, I'm going to try and draw this out for you guys so you can really visualize it. And then when I pull up the charts, you'll see. Yeah. So, okay. So, it's 3 3:00 a.m. and I'm coming to the charts. Right. Here's this is a 5 EMA. This is a I think it's a nine I use. And then this is a a 13. and then a 21. Okay. So, and for for the sake of the conversation, we're only going to be focusing on on a long position. I do take shorts, but let's go with my A+ long long setup.
So, now when I come into the market, um, you see how all these EMAs here, the the five, the 9, the 13, and the 21, they're all stacking. So, it's showing strong bullish structure already. If they were intertwining like this, if the EMAs were crossing like here, I wouldn't be interested in any price action that has to do with that because it's a low probability condition.
Definitely. So, now when I come to the market, I'm looking for 3:00 a.m. hits here. What do I see? I see a fair value gap here, printing on the 3 a.m. candle, right? Mhm. Let's just say it was a small wick here. Okay. And then you have another candle here and then another candle here, like this, right? So, after I see that, that's my first sign. So, this is I'm already watching the market. Once I see, it doesn't have to be at 3:00 a.m., but based on my data, when the candle is at 3:00 a.m. or 2:30 or 3:30, it's normally really, really highly probable that the trade is going to go in my direction.
So, now what do I want to see next? I came up with something. It's going to sound weird, but I call it a trident pattern. So, yeah, I I just came up with a name with it so I could help myself uh, you know, uh, understand it and look for it in the market. So, after I see my fair value gap printing, I'm then going to look for it's going to be a dogee candle, right? And it's going to this is the fair value gap here. Okay. Now, this is what ICT calls it's the consequent encroachment or the 50%. Yeah. If I get a dogee candle here, especially a wick that wicks through it and I have my EMAs aligned and I'm also seeing this strong fair value gap and then the next candle after this dogee candle closes below this high, right? If it closes above the high, I'll I'll I'll invalidate the trade just based on my data. It does it's not as highly probable as as this. So, when this closes here, I'm like all in. So I see this I'm entering here. My stop loss would be below this candle low here, right? And then I would jump to the daily time frame and then I would look for my TP. And my TPS could be huge. They could be like the biggest uh trade I've ever had was on Think Capital. It was a 1 to 51 on a U trade. Yeah, I I had the highest payout in the history of the firmc and it was a $51,000 and I risked $1,000 on my 200k account. Yeah, it was insane, bro. And I actually just closed another payout was like 12,000. So, I'm working my way to 100K with them. So, but yeah, that when you see it on the chart, it's kind of hard for me to write. I'm trying my best for you guys, but when you see it on the chart, it's going to look a lot cleaner. I actually have multiple setups like this. But if you just stay patient and you wait for this setup, I promise you, it could change your entire life. Literally, it it it did to me. And listen, based on my data, I can get maybe 8 to 10 entries a year per pair. So, I'm trading the USD pairs. So, UKAD, NZDUSD, Euro USD, GBPUSD, and USD uh JPY. I don't trade AUDUSD because in my back testing it didn't work well. Okay. But the biggest wins that I have are on gold really. That's the most money I've ever made is is trading gold. Especially now with the market conditions as you're seeing on gold, it's like holy cow. So if you just wait simply for this setup and you wait for the right time, this setup means nothing without the time. I want to stress that heavily because without time, you're literally the price action means absolutely nothing. And the person who taught me that the most is ICT because I was looking for trades at all hours of the day. You know what I mean? Like at low probability times like 2:00 in the afternoon. It's like a fair value got printed then it's not as highly probable as a fair value got printed in in the opening of a London session kill zone. You know what I mean? So that when you now that you're coming to the market at at such a small time like for me this is only about 3 hours and you're focusing on a smaller window you can now maximize and look and be like okay these are the candlesticks that I want to see cuz each of these candlesticks is telling a different story. Each of them has their own narrative. Like if this candle closed here, right? Say this wasn't a dogee and this the body of this candle was in here and it did and it this would be an invalidation. Like I wouldn't take the setup. I want to see a dogee candle. Why? Because the sellers tried to come down here, right? Yeah. But there was such strong bullish price action that they came all the way back here. So it's already telling you now it's telling you the narrative of the market. The market wants to go higher. So don't try and predict the market. just react to it. Yes. So, let the market do what it's got to do and then you can get involved in the market. And in terms of the EMA, so you're just using them for the correlation of like the momentum.
Exactly. It's basically like I use it I kind of utilize it as like a wave. So, I want to see them all stacking cuz it's showing, okay, price is already feeling very bullish for me and now I get the candle confirmation on top of that with being on the 30-minut time frame, which is an a higher time frame and I'm aligning it with the daily. It's like this is a home run. Like I could I'm not kidding. On these setups my win rate is really high like 90%.
Wow. And you just got to wait. Like that's the problem with most people. They'll take an invalidated setup. Like I used to take all of these setups and then I refined the strategy more and more and more to the point where it became bulletproof. Like it's that good. So that's why when people tell me it's like you never lose, you never lose. Well, I did lose. I also took an a year break from prop firms when I was failing and I focused solely on back testing this edge to the point where I knew that I was going to be successful. Like I when I finally back tested this to the point where I knew it was that good. I put $20,000 on all my credit cards right on challenges. I maxed out every single credit card I had. My parents told me I was a psycho. I said I had so much self-belief to the point where I was delusional. I passed every single challenge and my first big payout was with instant funding. I made $20,000. After I made that $20,000, I quit my job. I was in the elevator union in New York and I moved to Miami. I was that I was sick in the head. And then as soon as I moved to Miami, right, I made my first I had my first six figure month. I And it snowballed to the point where I had two consecutive six figuring months. Then like now I made like over like close to $400,000 in payouts. It's like it's happening for me really really really fast. And especially like with social media and everything too, like I had the growth I had in such a small amount of time is that anybody can achieve that. You just got to put the work in and then trust your system. Like I'm focus solely focusing on the mathematics of my system. My edge is really really good in the market. So whenever I see a setup and my edge is there, I'm taking it.
No, definitely. And you know what's that in terms of the transitions? This is on the USD pairs, right? So we go grab this.
Yeah. Do so this is USD pairs and then gold.
Yes. Yeah. And uh in terms of this, so like you said, if this invalidates invalidates a trade if you get a close below rather than the dogee candle, right?
Yes. And then your stop loss is below this level here.
Yes. And then your TP you said on the daily, what would you be looking for in terms of TP? Like my minimum TP.
Okay. Even if you solely wanted to focus on the on the 30-inut time frame.
Yeah. So most of my stop losses are between like for USD pairs for like GU, EU, USD CAD, and NZDUSD. I typically like to use like a 10 pip stop loss.
Okay. And like the risk-to-reward minimum that I'm taking on their trades is a 1 to 20.
Really? Yeah. I know it sounds crazy, but I made it to the point where I'm having a high RR and a high win rate. I know a lot of people say that it's not possible, but it is because I've done it.
Well, you're doing it. Yeah. Yeah. Normally, the only thing I will say with gold, I don't use a hard stop loss. I will wait for a close below this candle because what I noticed with gold and strictly on my back testing is that it has a lot of liquidity wicks. Yeah. And it's extremely volatile pair. So sometimes, okay, I get this, say I get this setup, right? The next candle could drive like this. It could be like here, and then I could get a wick all the way down here, and then it could close back up. Yeah. And this is just a liquidity wick for it to build more for it to build uh get more buyers into the market. Stop out everyone here, and then go a lot higher. I've had it happen countless times and I've had I have over a years of data with it and I just noticed that with uh gold I strictly um don't use a hard stop loss. I'll wait for a candle close. So So if it closes if the candle if the candle closes below I'm out.
Okay, got you. Let's take a break for a minute there guys cuz I want to tell you about our preferred prop firm here at Chart Fanatics and it is Apex Trader Funding. We are no stranger to Apex. We've had Jadecap and Trader Kane on Words of Wisdom and here on Chart Fanatics. Now, they are well known for having record payouts on Apex of over $2 million a piece.

Make sure you get your futures funding with Apex. Now, let's get back to the episode.
But gold is usually my best pair, especially with longs. It's a naturally bullish asset. Same with uh ENQ.
So, no, definitely. No, definitely. Have you run into any problems in terms of having no stop on gold when it comes to the firms?
No. Uh, not really. I haven't like I won't trade a firm unless they have they have those rules. Yeah. I don't trade with firms that have a stop-loss rule. I think it's like to be honest. And then you got to place it within a certain amount of time. I just don't like there are a lot of f like literally I'm burn I'm banned from like over 25 firms really. Yeah. I can't trade with any of them really anymore. So, and the thing is is that once I got one big payout with one and then I started showing it on social media, I feel like it all caught wind. Yeah. They won't let me buy account. Like some firms don't even let me buy accounts. They don't say anything. They just block it. Right. Well, a lot of the firms come up with these arbitrary fake rules and they breach my accounts or they just tell me that I can't trade with them anymore. And if you know a lot of these firms that are in the space are white label firms. And once you get banned from one white label firm, your name your name goes on into a database and then either they won't let you buy accounts or they won't offer you funding. So you'll pass and then they'll just deny you.
Definitely. So, but this the beautiful thing is though this is an actual edge. So, it's not a case where you know some people where that happens to them or most people when that happens to them it's because they the edge they have is a prop firm edge if that makes sense. It's like risk high and and I play the model of like you know we'll spend 20k on challenges but make 200k because I'm going to be honest my allin with challenges even from when I burn them when I was first going through it is probably $15,000. So, I my ROI on my investment is pretty big. So, you know what I mean? But I will say this, luckily, like with all the the things that have been going on and me sharing my payouts, I'm having an amazing experience with Alpha Prime right now. Like, I'm loving it. The uh the person who is in charge of it, James, like we talk every single day. He gives me a lot of good fundamental analysis. We were just talking before and it I'm loving it. like it's a dream come true for me because now I'm trading real funds and he wants to scale me to like a seven figure account. So to go from prop firms to now have the opportunity to be in a live environment and he plans on like I think I'm one of six traders so far and he wants to get this re he wants to make it huge and I'm just loving the experience so far and he wants to bring everyone together to like you know say like you have a trader he has a few traders from Singapore some from uh Boston a few from California and he wants to bring us in a group where we could share our TA and see if it aligns and see if you could learn something from other people. It's just a really really cool thing and I'm just so glad to be a part of it because I always wanted to have you know be involved in something now I have the opportunity to.
In terms of uh the model then so daily time frame wise um you know in terms of targets what is it that you would identify on the daily time frame to target.
So on the daily I'm looking for the same exact structure here with the EMAs just on a just on a daily chart. So you know what I mean? So, if if I see this. Okay. So, say we get the 30 minute setup and then we have let's let's do the EMAs again, right?
Yeah. Hold on. We'll do the EMAs here. Now, this is the daily chart, mind you. Okay. Yeah. Let me get rid of this one here. This is a Now, so you're getting Let me get the black one. Yeah. Thank you. And then, so you have the confirmed setup on the 30 minute and then your daily. Now, this is all occurring inside of this daily candle. Remember that. So, say this daily candle is here. And I have another indicator I'm going to show you guys is actually a really good one. It shows you how the candle closes. So, if it's a if it's strong, if it's a strong bullish candle, it's going to close a a bright green. If it's a a bullish candle, but it's not extremely strong, it'll close blue. If it's a bearish candle and it's strong, it'll close red. And if it's a a bearish candle, it's not extreme like not a lot of high volume, it's going to close black. Actually, a friend that I used to work with, he showed me this indicator. Works really really well. And I just utilize it to help me just add an extra confluence. Like I don't rely on indicators, but if I could add a confluence to the trade, I add it. So, so say I'm on the daily chart and when I pull up my charts, you'll see it. This candle is is here on the daily, right? Yeah. And it's closing green. It has a This is how it's printing right now. and then I get this setup inside of it, I know that this is going to move huge. Okay? And so, usually I'll just ride the trend until like the EMAs cross over or if I get like a a a large bearish candle, then I'll cut it cuz then I know I know like say the candle closes red or I get like a
So, it's kind of like your management technique as well. It's the same thing.
Yeah. So, I'm just I'm utilizing the lower time frame to get in on the daily. So, I'm analyzing what's going on inside of this candle. So this candle's already strong for me, but then if I see this inside the candle, then I know it that's my confirmation to go long. Yeah. You understand?
Yeah. No, 100%. And then in terms of your targeting wise, are you targeting like u external liquidity?
Correct. Or I'll just ride the trend for as long as I can. So if the if the trend ends after it takes out some some sort of liquidity, I'll just cut it. And most of the times when I'm trading props, I it gets to a point where I'm like, "Okay, this payout's going to be huge and I'll have to cut it." Like I that's why I cut the like on my Thin Capital when I was up $50,000. The trade was still going to go, but I I didn't think that they were going to pay me six figures in one shot, so I cut it. No, I'm being for real. It's why that trade ran like it I knew it was going to go lower, but I was like, "All right, let me be safe here." It was my first payout with them and I I took it. So, normally I'll ride this for as long as I can and then I'll just focus on if I get like a IFVG like it invalidates a fair value gap. What a what a strong bearish candle. I'll be like, "All right, now there's a chance that this is going to reverse against me."
Yeah. So, a little bit. It's not entirely um mechanical. A little bit is um discretionary.
Yeah. Cuz like everyone's going to have their own intuition in the markets. This is just from something you can't teach someone is having the time on the charts. It's just I have that intuition too of when I know when to cut the trade. So, I'm not going to say it's a 100% mechanical all the time. This part is for me. But as far as taking out like liquidity and knowing when to get out, that is a little bit discretionary. I will admit that.
100%. Yeah. And so, I think that that's okay. Like having an 8020 model, like that's how most traders are going to succeed. I feel like 100% mechanical models aren't going to work all of the time.
No, definitely. And I think that 100% mechanical, if that's the case, then you might as well just make it into an algo.
Exactly. Yeah. Don't have to worry about Yeah. have to have listen the human being is going to have a little bit more of an edge over over 100% mechanical model I feel cuz I've tried the mechanical models and they don't work all the time.
Yeah. No, definitely especially when market conditions change.
Correct. Right. Because then that's when the discretion really comes in because you know as we've seen between last year to this year the markets are completely different. The volatile uh the volatility sorry is so much higher. And with that then you need to make tweaks. You need to make changes. Use discretion based on obviously those changes to be able to do so. Especially like you said, you know, when it comes to take profits, even when it comes to say a stop loss or cutting a loss, that's discretion, right? You know, when everyone always says, you know, you have to cut your your losses, you know, as early as possible. That's discretion. Otherwise, you just got to leave it to stop loss, right? Well, who who are they to say to cut your losses early? Everyone's process and system is entirely different. Like the way I trade and the way I see the markets, this is what I tell everyone on Twitter who are asking me. You guys, even if you have this system, right, you still may never trade it the same way as me. You won't. It's just the way it is. everyone. This is an individualized thing. You have to find what works for you. Like I I'm patient and I tried the lower time frames. It doesn't work for me. It's too much on my psychology. But some people are great at scalping. They're great at the lower time frames. It's just not something that ever worked for me. So, I do want to stress that is that you can take my what I teach you here, but maybe implement it in a way where it works for you. You know what I'm saying? That's how I became successful. I took bits and pieces from a lot of different people and then I made it my own. So, I took the models. what what ICT, you know, taught me in his mentorships and I made it 100% something that's suitable for me. I'm not good at trading order blocks. I'm good at recognizing fair value gaps and in inverted fair value gaps. So, I utilize that. You know what I mean? You just take what works for you. Like a friend of mine, he trades um breakers. I don't even know what a breaker is to be honest. I It's just everyone's different, you know? So, you just got to find what works for you.
Big part of what you said though is that you spent that time to collect data. you know, you understand the maths of your model. And I think that's the biggest difference because even again, as you said, someone could be watching this right now, understanding it all. We're going to go on the charts and break it down there as well. But even then, they still, regardless of whether they've seen it, they need to go and get the data themselves, collect that data themselves because for them, it might be a case where, you know, through that data, even though it's the same setup, they might notice that they're better at shorts.
Exactly. You know, they're completely the same model, just the opposite direction, and it might end up being the same thing. But London wise, is that the only session you focus on or you looking at New York as well?
Only? No, I'm looking I'm only looking at London. Why? Because the data showed me that the highest probability setups are in London. So, I just I don't fix what's not broken. That's it. I just wait patiently. I come to the market for this, you know, few hours every single day. And, you know, I got to wake up early. It's not the best. But the reason why I started trading London is because when I was in the elevator union, I started at six o'clock in the morning. So, I was trading before and I was like, "All right, how can I make London work?" And I liked the volume in London. I thought it was clean. The price action was clean and then I can get the continuation in New York. So, it's just what I preferred and and what it's worked. So, I don't I'm not going to change my model. I just stick to it. It's generated me this much in profit so far, so I'm good with it, you know.
Definitely. No, I can imagine. Definitely. Cool. Um, let's should we go into the the sort of pros and cons?
Let's take a break for a minute there, guys, because I want to tell you about our incredible sponsor, Tradezeller. Tradezeller is the number one trading tool in the entire trading industry.

Now, let's get back to the episode.
These are the pros. First pro is going to be we have a high RR and a high win rate. Okay. Definitely another pro, this could be a pro or a con. So you're focusing on a small window of time. So some people may think that that's a that this that can be in the middle, but for me that's a big pro. It's cuz like I I don't have to be involved in the market all day. I come during my window. If I see my trade, I take it. So another pro is small window of time. All right. Uh, I'd say a big pro is that we are we're taking advantage of trending market conditions. Now we'll go into the cons. Oh, another pro could be tight stops or it could be a con. I think tight stops are good because it creates the high win win win rate for you and the high risk to reward. So, con. This is number one. Okay. Patience. Yeah, 100%. That's the one that seems to be there. I know you guys may not have this, but these setups aren't going to occur very often. I'm going to be completely honest with you. You're like I said for my USD pairs 6 to eight entries a year on each pair. Gold 10 to 15. Okay? So I I know it sounds crazy, you guys got to just wait. You want to trade every day. It's not going to happen. There could be two weeks where you're not taking a trade. But think about it like this. When you have a high win rate and a high RR, that one trade will trump every other person who's trading regularly and making $1,000 a week, a couple thousand a month. You could do Listen, I did $50,000 in one trade. That That's the power of the model. You just have to wait.
Okay. So, let's think of another con here because I think obviously, you know, if someone's not available for that particular window.
Yes. Yes. You're right. Small time window. I keep forgetting that everyone doesn't have access to the, you know, to be able to trade the same window as me. Like in New York, like if somebody's working, it may be difficult for them to get access, you know, at 3:00 in the morning to wake up. You got kids, you got a family, you know, it's it's probably hard for them. And I'm I'm thinking of it in a way because for me, it's easy. I you know I'm a full-time trader and I could just wake up and then go back to sleep. So yes, that is a good con. What's the um what's the reality of you take an entry it just goes in your favor or is there a case where even though you're getting 10 to 15 per year is it 10 to 15 that you know work out essentially but is there more entries signals that are provided but they they might just be break even because they didn't move away. Does that make sense? Yeah. Is that the case or no?
I have like if I have a break even it's maybe one of those. Okay, I I'm going to be honest. The win rate is the win rate is really high. The win rate if you wait for the setup and you know it's A+ the win rate's like n like it really doesn't lose much. I know it sounds crazy, but I've done it. Like I literally you can go on my Twitter and see my data. Like I've I've literally like I don't go through accounts. I don't ch accounts. Like I just wait. So when I'm patient, the trade is most likely going to win. So that's all you have to do is this is the biggest thing is just sitting on your hands and just waiting for the market to come to you. I'd say the only other one that stands out to me would be that, you know, high-risisk reward trading, you're handling uh sort of the the P&L changes. Does that make sense? So like you could be up 10K, it might come down to six, it might go up to 20, it might come down to 40. And I want to stress this, if you are going to use this model, okay, and you're going to trade props, you have to have, this is crucial, you have to trade a fully balanced brace based prop firm. So like Alpha Capital, Think Capital, FTMO where they're not taking some of these prop firms, they'll have a hybrid draw down. So at 5:00 PM when the day closes, right? They're going to take the highest balance between your equity or equity or your balance, right? So say you're in a trade and you're up 10%. And I know the swing could hit for 25 30%. It's 5:00 now. They're taking the highest equity of that 10%. The next day I get a 5% retracement. The account's burned now. Yeah. How can you How can you're going to penalize a trader for that? That's insane. And I tell everybody if you're a swing trader, you need a fully balanced based firm. And I believe that the think about it like this, the best firms in the in the space are fully balance based. The only reason why that these firms are going to have equity based or hybrid based is so they're going to tailor these accounts to people who burn the most accounts. And who are those? Scalpers and intraday traders. And that hybrid draw down is only they're not looking out for you. They just want you to burn the account. So that's why they have those rules. So, I tell someone this, if you're going to try this model and you want to swing trade on the higher time frames, have to have a fully balanced based firm. It's crucial and there are enough out there that you could just utilize. You don't need to go with a million of them.
Definitely. Definitely. No, I love that. Let's just add that then in terms of just the P&L sort of changes.
So, uh P N L Oh, hold on. All right. P&L fluctuation. Yeah, there you go. Perfect. Well, it's time for the charts, I think.
Yeah, let's get it going. Let's go. So, after that amazing breakdown, we're now going to look at the actual strategy on the chart. So, I'm very much looking forward to it as well. Drop a comment of your thoughts so far. Any questions so far, drop it in the comments below. Make sure you subscribe. But let's let's do this. Okay. All right. So, if you can remember what we went over in the on the whiteboard, we're gonna bring that to the charts now. the same thing. So what do we see here? I whenever I this is I want to stress this when you guys are doing your back testing you need I do do all my back testing on Trading View. You need to have this data. So I write A++ setup like and I have my handwritten journal where I'm writing what the candles have done. Like you need to do all this. It's extremely crucial. This is what's going to take your trading to the next level. So with that what do we see here? Like I said it's hard to see my EMAs but here's the five I'm talking told you guys about. Here's the nine. Here's the five. N nine. Here's the five. Here's the nine. Here's the uh 13 or 15. I don't really remember which one. And then this is the 21. So now you see, like I said, it's like a wave. They're all stacking, right? Mhm. Here's the FG printed at 2:30. Like I told you, 2:30 and 3:00, those those fair value gaps are extremely extremely strong. This is the indicator I told you guys about where it's showing the bullish candles. I'll actually bring the indicator up. It's called bull trading on on uh trading view. Bull trading one minute easy scalping. You change the first time frame to daily time frame 230 3030. Okay, this this indicator is really really good. So like I told you, if these candles are closing green, it's showing strong bullish price action. We're in the top of the Ballinger band above the 200 EMA. I forgot to stress that in the um in the whiteboard, but if we're above the 200 EMA, that's my bias. If we're below, we're looking for shorts. So, I keep that as like a neutral bias. So, if we're above the 200 structure is bullish. So, now what do what do I look for? I look for the trident pattern. Like I told you guys, here we have this is the this is the leg of the FG, right? So, one candle, two, three FG is printed here. We're not worried about this fair value gap. You know why? Because it's printed outside of our kill zone. Interesting. Okay. So, we're ignoring that. So, this is the one that gets reacted to also. So, one, two, three, four. Okay, this wicks through this fair value gap, the consequent encroachment of here, right between these three candles%. Now, we simply set a limit here, stop loss here, and then you just let it run, kid. That's it. So, now you're on the 30 minute. Look at what this look at what this trade did. Okay? You simply just sit through it. This is the power of the model. This ran for okay this is on the daily time frame. I will even bring this up. If you want to just solely utilize a 1 to 20 you can. But if you even if you bring stops to break even here say you this break a structure and then you bring stops to be you could listen you could take my model and use it in a different way. I'm not saying the way that I use it you're going to like but you could take what I'm telling you here and then make it your own. Like I said you want to go be here. That's fine. I just don't do it. Then I go to the daily chart. Okay, let's see this where this move was on the daily. Notice this was the this was the setup here. Okay, notice that we just we're we're just above the 200 EMA. This is all the EMAs are stacking like I told you the wave. Yeah, here's the five 9 13 or 15 and 21. We're here's the trade. This is what's going on inside of this daily candle what I told you guys about. You see, we're looking at what's going on here. Now, we just let it run. See, look. Look at the EMAs are still stacking. You could cut it here with this IFG like I was telling you about. Okay, but simply based on here, all the EMAs are still stacking. So, you could hold it like this ran for 175 R. I know it's impossible to hold it for that long, but say you trim and you just leave a runner for 20%. You know, like you can make it your own. I'm not saying the way that I do it is the best, but you can utilize the way that I'm telling you to to you guys. and then really truly make it something powerful. But as you could see, that's like that an astronomical risk-to-reward. I just showed you that it could be done. There's a high risk-to-reward and it has a high win rate. But like like I said, there's not many of these setups. You just got to be patient. You know what I mean? You have to wait.

Now, let's get back to the episode. Patience pays, you know, and of course, the beautiful thing is that this can just be one playbook, right? This can be one playbook. You might have a different playbook that, you know, allows you to have a bit more frequency. Potentially can be difficult to do, cuz then, you know, to be able to focus on, okay, when's this one showing versus this one? It can be. It depends on the playbook itself, you know, how how um, you know, mechanical in terms of like what you need to see to actually start looking for it and identifying it. But, it's incredible. And as you said though, you know, it might go for 175R, you may not hold it that long, but it's about, you know, even if you held 10%. So a 17% trade, you know, just with 10% volume. Yeah. But the least, the smallest amount of RR that I've taken on a trade is 1 to 20. That's like my minimum. Yeah. And I know people are like, how, how is that possible? I created the system to where cuz everyone always says you can't have a high RR and a high win rate. Well, I do. Like there's nothing else to be said about it. Like you could tell me that it's not possible, but it is. I have a lot of people on Twitter that come for me about that and I'm I'm telling you the truth. Like I have the data and I could show it to you that I have a high RR and a high win rate. My win rate is like 90%. I just like I said, the setups aren't frequent. And then uh you want to see another? I could show you another one on a different pair. We definitely can. Yeah.
In terms of uh where was the pair? Uh the this was Are these like your London zones? These uh Okay. Yeah. You see these lines? This this line this is my sessions indicator. So I just use that to show myself where London is and then where where I'm basically looking for a trade. And then outside of this this is what you is is powerful is that these black this black here you're not interested in price action. So when you're backtesting, you don't care about what's going on here. You just care about what's going on in this small amount of time. Allows you to sort of get more simplified. That's what I'm saying is that when you're okay, now you're focusing on this small window. Now, now you could dive into each candlestick and on a 30-minute time frame in that small amount of time. Think about how many candlesticks that you're looking at. Not many. Mhm. So, now you're just focusing on the highest probability candles, you know? So, let me show another one here. Let me show a UJ one because I really like U.J, too. See, like as you can see, like look here, there's no trades. None. None. Zero trades. Look, we're not interested in it. See, it's not This is like a couple months. How How far in advance are you sort of identifying the potential for a trade? Is it literally on the day or on the day? On the day. On the day. So, I come to I come on the daily turn on the day. Well, if my daily chart is below the 200 EMA, I'm not looking for longs. I'll be short biased. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, if I do take a trade, right, and say my higher time frame, the 4-hour and the daily is below the 200 EMA, and I get a long setup, I will I'll cut it earlier because I know that the the higher time frame is bearish. Yeah. So, maybe I'll do like on those trades like 10 to 15R, and I'm cool with that. But the biggest trades I have is when you're aligned with the higher time frames, of course.
So, here's another one here. See? That one's outside. That's a That's a higher time. That's a different method. I have a few models that I utilize now because I've gotten better with um navigating the higher time frames. So, here's another one here. This is a big one. Here we go. Now, we're above the 200 EMA. We're inside a London kill zone. This fair value gap got printed at 4 am, which is still it's not as highly probable as a 2:30 or three, but especially on UJ, which is in my backtesting, it's a really strong pair for me. So, what do we see here? This is the fair value gap we care about. We don't there's none here. So, we care about this one. We also get this breaker structure here above this is uh my Asian uh range, which is also I I utilize I like to see all the sessions here. So, I get this breaker structure above the Asian range. We're above the 200 EMA. I get this 50%. Look at this candle. This is what I want to stress is look at the wick on this candle. It's a strong doji candle. This this is the trident pattern. So between one, two, three, it looks like the staff of a trident, but it's just the opposite way. So I just came up with a cool name for myself to remember it. And it actually I actually love the name of it. So you could see here this is our our fair value gaps printed 1, 2, 3. We get this candle. This candle doesn't close above this high. Say this candle this closed this candle closed above this high. I invalidate the setup. It's not valid. You want this candle to close below. Now you see why why would it invalidate it? It's just based on my data. It's just not as highly probable. So I don't take it. Like it. Granted, it could win, but it's just it's going to diminish the the win rate. It's just these little nuance things is what I've really made. That's what I'm telling you. I've analyzed everything. So everything that I've journaled, I go, okay, how can I make this to the point where it really never loses? Yeah. And that simple little thing right there is not taking that candle increased my win rate astronomically. So it's just a small little thing like that. So now once I see this candle I get the confirmed trident setup hits the 50%. This is a doji candle. I set my you could even enter here. There's no need to set a limit because it closed inside the range. Stop loss here. Like I told you guys here was a a 9-pip stop. I mean, that's really small. And this thing ran. You could after this break. Crazy as well is that it's USD JPY. So it's not even anything to do with pound or euro for example. JPY is one of my favorite pairs to trade. It's incredible. Yeah.
What's also interesting as well is that a lot of people's strategies would be like to take Asia high and then target Asia low, right? But in this case, we've taken Asia high. That's where the entry pretty much comes in. But then it look, you know, it's worked out incredible. And then this RR was uh let's see and we'll just go off the 30 minute. Like even if you set stops the BE here, right? And you say you wanted to take partials. This ran for because that was the thing like one to 28. Exactly. Yeah. To your point as you said earlier regardless, like the the entry model for it to be as successful they would probably need, you know, people would have to replicate you know, to a T for sure. But in terms of the management side, that's where it's, you know, down to the individual. And that is really any strategy wise, that's really the bit that will make it profitable not for the individual. Does that make sense? So like someone might not be able to handle one to 20. Well, that's what I'm saying is that I have the psychology to sit on my hands and know a lot of people don't have that. They're like, when I had my um Think Capital path, they're like, "How did you sit through it that long?" I go, "I just trusted my model." And it's not for everyone. Like I said, it may not be. You may only take like a one to five. That's cool. And you can put on a little bit more risk. I just prefer to just sit on the trade and let it run, you know? But like I said, I'm telling you right now, if you're patient enough to and you can nail this uh strategy down, it'll set you financially free 100%. Guaranteed. I'm telling you, you just got to be patient. Incredible. Yeah, that patience is big though, right? That patience is big and definitely utilize the indicator that I showed you guys is the um the one with See, if these candles were like I want to stress this, if these candles weren't green like this and they were red and blue, Yeah. it would be an invalidated setup. You don't take it because it's not the market conditions aren't there. It's not showing the momentum, right? Exactly. So, these candles are closing green and and black, which shows highly probable conditions for the trade to go in your favor. And then if you look up the Was it this trade here? No, it'll be the one. Go. Let's see where we are. No, we're in 2023. Go this way. This way. Yeah, it was I think it was it was here where I wrote A+ setup. It's over here. It's right here, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Zoom in. Well, this Yeah, that one. See, this one was below this one was below the 200 EMA. But notice, like I showed you guys in the on the whiteboard, all of the EMAs are stacking. Yeah. You see, you're just riding. This is like a this is like a wave a trend wave I call it. And so I know it's it may be a lot for you guys to digest, but I utilize ICT concepts, kill zones, and then momentum that if I were to put it in in a simplistic way, that's what I do. Just ride the trend and then wait for an entry criteria that's showing you what's going on inside of this candle. So, you want to know what's the narrative of this candle. Now, you get the confirmed setup that this candle wants to go higher and that's it. I love it. Yeah.
So, I listen I think it's an amazing model. It's not It's literally one of one. I I haven't seen anybody else trade anything like this in the space. No, definitely. Neither have I. Neither have I. I think high risk to reward it requires uh as you said a lot of patience and you know most people probably will struggle with that, you know, especially not only the patient size because a lot of people a few years ago when they were trying to do high risk reward it was high risk reward but frequency was quite high still. Like so they're basically just one-minute time frames. You can't and trying to like basically handle getting stop stopped and then try and get a move. But I think psychologically that's so difficult, you know, to to be able to accept losses or break evens over and over and over and over. Like if you have a 30% win rate, but your RR is high, it's it's going to crush your psychology. Really, like you are not going to be able to handle that. Losing 70% of your trades, there's no way. Definitely. Well, Tyler, it's been an absolute pleasure. I appreciate you breaking this down for us and really giving us this insight into your trades.
