Yes, you beautiful people. Hope you are all doing well. Cocking nonsense out there that you don't need.
Okay, we're going to focus on how to start on the higher time frame. Okay, predict where price is going to go and then drop down on a lower time frame and look for an entry because that's all you need in life to be a happy trader. It's nothing complicated. It's 10 times simpler than half the education out there and it works 10 times better. So, enough wasting your time. Let's get straight to it.
So, because I'm intraday trading, I like to use the 15 minute as my higher time frame and the 1 minute as my lower time frame. If you're swinging trading, exact same. You can use the 4 hour and the 15 minute. You can use the daily and the 2hour, for example. It's all the same. You just scale up, scale down.
So, on this 15 minute time frame, okay, I don't need to go to the daily. I don't even need to go to the hourly. I just want to see this 15-minute candles are the next ones likely to be bullish or bearish. That is it. I don't need to look at some crazy liquidity sweep, some crazy inverse. It's literally that simple.
Well, let me see. Right now, I can see that. And I have recency bias. Okay, I didn't zoom out super much. I just see right now we have a low, a high. I'm just reading structure. A low, a high, a low, a high, a low. So my thesis is that currently we are bearish. I don't care what we're tapping into, where we're delivering from, etc. Currently we are bearish until we make a higher high. So we have low, high, low, high, and then we haven't printed a low yet. But as long as we remain below this high here, I'm looking for sells. That is my intraday bias done in about 30 seconds.
Now I can look okay what is my POI? My POI is just a valid high if I'm looking for shorts and that is a swing high. So this is a swing high here. Sorry. Right. This bullish candle and I need a close below the lowest bullish candle. So this is a swing high and this is also the highest bullish candle. So it's supposed to say highest bullish candle then not lowest the spelling. Yeah, there we go.
So I have my trend and I have my POI. So this high valid high becomes my PY because think about it in a downtrend, okay, I'm expecting price to respect highs. So in a downtrend, right, I'm expecting these highs to be respected. So if we're going to continue lower, we should respect these highs. So they become POIs that price can trade into and then continue lower. That way I'm buying at the top, right? And I'm looking to sell towards the bottom. So it's perfect. Now, let's go back to here. I'm expecting price to respect this high now. I'm looking to buy here, sell lower. It's that simple.
Now, let me drop down to my lower time frame and I'm looking for my six tap model. So, I don't have that currently. Let me play price out. Okay, beautiful. So, if I extend this area here now, you can see I have my lovely one, two, I have my break structure. I have my liquidity, the shallow tap back in that makes a lower low. So, now I have my higher time frame trend, have my higher time frame POI, and I have my lower time frame six tap. So, this is framing to be a lovely setup.
So, now I'm just waiting for price to sweep this and then looking for some sort of confirmation that price wants to head lower. So, let's see if we get the sweep. Boom. There we get the sweep. Now, I can confirm my higher time frame and make sure it still all makes sense. Well, yes. The higher time frame has now made a low, a high, and then boom, lower low here. So our trading range is now between this high and this low. I am still bearish. I am now finding a high within here in which we could respect. The only high we have is this because this is the only swing high we have and the only close below the bullish candle. This isn't the swing high. This isn't the swing high. This is the swing high, etc. So this is all a valid setup that price wants to continue lower. We should respect this high. We drop down. We have a beautiful six tap within it. So this is now framing to be a very nice setup to take and this is how I have not had a losing trade in December so far. Just following this simple model and all my trades are shared in my Discord. So you can see for yourself there.
Now boom, what do we have on the lower time frame? We went from pushing higher highs and higher lows to a lower low. So we had the downtrend, we had our six tap. Most importantly, we have now had our confirmation in our shift order flow, shift structure that our thesis is correct. So, this is where I can then enter my shorts stop loss above and I'll be straight up. I target a 1 to 1.5R. Where am I expecting price to go according to the game plan according to thesis? Well, again, on the higher time frame, which is all was framed from, I'm expecting that lower low because we're trading this trend. But like I said, I just take my one to 1.5 and I go and enjoy the rest of my day. That way, even if I am wrong with structure, we still have a good enough move where I can go break even or I can even make money. So, it's a win-win. We'll play that out. Boom. I'm out of this trade now. Zero draw down. Lovely. Let's see what happens. If the thesis is right, that price should now respect this high and make a lower low.
Okay. What? This is interesting as well. What have we printed here? We've printed another swing high. Okay. And not another close below the highest bullish candle. So now I'm expecting price to respect this high and continue with this bearish bias lower. Let's play that out. Let's see if it's going to make that new low. It's lagging a bit. Boom. Look at that. I would even trade back into here and then give yourself a follow-up play. But the original play, as you can see, right, it worked beautifully and the game plan was followed. And look how simple it is. I didn't have to look for a kill zone after the Asia sweep after 400 p.m. on a Friday, but not a Saturday. Like, come on, mate.
Uh, we'll do another example. Let's see. Okay, this one I had loaded. So the next couple 15 minute candles, are you expecting price to go higher and lower? And yes, overall for me this does look kind of bearish, right? We have a big drop down. We have this higher, we broke structure, we broke lows. But currently, what are we doing? Well, we put in a high low higher high. So currently buyers are in control. We could get a big move down, but as long as in my opinion, this low holds, right? This is my trading range, my intraday range, and I can just expect like that. Simple.
So, do I have any POIs? Well, now it's the opposite. Okay, it's a swing low and close above the lowest bearish candle. Well, this is my swing low. This is also my lowest bearish candle. What did we do? We closed above. So, what am I expecting in an uptrend? I'm expecting lows to hold and price to continue higher in market structure. So, if I'm expecting high uh an uptrend, I'm expecting this low to hold. So, this could be a good area which I look for my long. I then drop down to my lower time frame and I see if I have a nice six tap or I can extend it here. And I can see we have a nice one, two, three, four, five. So this is my six top model. I simply wait for this low to be swept and I can start looking for a long.
So let's see. Boom. There is the sweep. Now, as you can see, we are dumping down with not much structure. So I'm kind of going to have to see what confirmation I can yet. We got a couple fair value gaps here because it's quite explosive on this one minute. I will just go up a time frame and it'll be a bit clearer on this 2 minute. Okay, this is nice already. I can see we have one big fair value cap. So inversing that would be my confirmation. Let's see if we can do that if we're going to respect it or break it here.
Okay, boom. We broke it. So now we've got that higher time frame up trend. We've come into our zone. We've got a confirmation that we are right. Price wants to continue higher and we even leave behind a small bullish gap here. So, you know what? I'll take a stab at these longs. Stop loss is always at the low. And again, I'm just going for the one to 1.5, which kind of aligns with this high up here. Anyways, get tagged in. Boom. Now, what happens after that? I could not care less. The job's done.
