Random Probability Theory - PART 1 of 2 Preview 16:27

Most Traders make the mistake of assuming that if their trading system has a win/loss ration of 50%; over a sample of 10 Trades 5 will be winner and 5 will be losers. They also assuming that they need to have more winning trades then losing trade in order to be profitable.

The goal of this lecture is completely destroy these assumptions and explain why we can't think like that.

A summary & Conclusion of the Section

How to Understand and Interpret Price Charts Preview 18:15

Learn how to read a price chart and interpret all the different information that it reflects.

We will also learn about the different Time Frames you can use when you are trading and which Time Frame is recommended.

The 5 most popular Time Frames used in trading is the Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4 Hour & 1 Hour. The shorter the Time Frame, the more volatile and emotional the Markets become. The longer the Time Frame, the more stable and less volatile the Markets become.

Market Cycles Preview 18:21

Learn how the market cycles between Phase 1 & Phase 2.

The Market always moves in 2 phases and never in just one direction the entire time. Phase 1 is called the extension and is generally the longest phase of the two. Phase 1 is the phase that all professional traders enter the market and capitalize from the long price movement. Phase 2 is known as the pull back and is generally the shortest phase of the two. Phase 2 is when all professional traders exit the market and bank their profits.

Phase 2 is also the reason why a lot of novice traders lose money when trading because they generally enter the market too late and get into a trade when the price is just about to pull back and lose value.

Rule No.2 - Trade with the Trend Preview 16:35

Rule No.2 - Always Trade in the Same Direction as the Overall Trend

Learn what a moving average is and how to use it on your price charts to identify what phase the market is in and in what direction is the market trending. The moving average is the average price of the market over a certain period of time and is represented on our price chart as a thin line moving together with the actual price of the market.

You also get many different types of moving averages and the main difference between them is how they are calculated. The only moving average we are going to focus on is an Exponential Moving Average

We will look at 2 different Exponential Moving Averages in this lecture. This will be a 20 Exponential Moving Average (20EMA) and a 40 Exponential Moving Average (40EMA). We will compare these 2 EMA’s relative to each other in order to identify which direction the market is trending.

• If the 20EMA is above the 40EMA then the market is moving in an upward direction.

• If the 20EMA is below the 40EMA then the market is moving in an downward direction.

Rule No.3 - 2 Step Entry Method Entry Level Preview 16:53

Rule No.3 - Never enter a trade until you have a Trigger Candle & a Confirmation Candle

Learn the exact timings behind entering a trade using the 2 Step Entry Method and what requirements need to be in place before entering a trade.

We will now add a 3rd Exponential Moving Average to our price chart. This will be a 10EMA and it will be used in relation to the price of the market we are trading. The 10EMA and price compared to each other will give you the signal as to when to enter the trade.

You will be shown how to incorporate all Moving Averages, Market Cycles and Market Price together as well as how to execute the 2 Step entry method.

Rule No. 4 - Positioning your Stop Loss Level and Calculating your 1% Risk Preview 10:35

Rule No 4. - Predefine your Stop Loss Level before you enter your trade 

We cannot enter a trade before we have worked out our Stop Loss Level as well as our trade size using the 1% risk management rule. To do this we are going to use an indicator called the Average True Range or ATR. ATR is an indicator that gives you the average range or the average amount that the market price has fluctuated by over a certain period of time.

You will learn how to use the ATR as well as how to work out your Stop Loss Level using the ATR indicator.

The 2 Different Types of Stop Loss Levels Preview 18:49

Now that we understand how to calculate our Stop Loss level using the ATR indicator, we are now going to look at the 2 different types of Stop Levels we will use in our trading System and how to make use of them.

How to Add the ATR Indicator to your Charts Preview 11:59

A step by step tutorial of how to add and setup the ATR Indicator to your Tradingview Charts

Rule No.5 - Trade Management and Profit Taking Preview 17:06

Now that our Entry Level, Stop Loss Level & Trade Size is established. We have gone ahead, pulled the trigger and entered our trade using these parameters, however the trading process is only 50% complete. We now need to carefully manage our open trades all the way until we exit the trade to ensure we correctly react to any positive or negative price moves.

We will now look at the later part of our trade, how to manage it, where to bank profits and how do we further minimize the risk on our trade.

We have covered in extensive detail how to trade the market to the upside using the 2 Step Entry Method. In this Lecture we will explain how to trade the market to the downside using the exact same methodology which is known as going "Short" the market as appose to going "Long" the Market

In essence, nothing really changes in our trading system except now we are just executing our trading system in reverse and hoping for price to move lower instead of higher. 

Introduction to Chart Patterns Preview 17:13

Chart patterns help us to identify key trading opportunities within the financial market, providing signs of future price movements that we can capitalize on. The theory behind chart patterns is based on the assumption that certain patterns consistently reappear and tend to produce the same outcome.

Being able to identify Chart patterns helps us to position ourselves on the right side of the market which is a very important component of becoming a profitable trader and maximizing our odds of success.

Upward & Downward Trend Lines Preview 17:19

Price can trend in an upward or downward direction depending on which direction our minor highs and lows are moving. A price is said to be trending in an upward direction when a price if forming higher high's and higher low's which can be joined by a straight line. The opposite is also true and a price is said to be trending in a downward direction when price is forming lower low's and lower highs.

Once the trend line is broken through we need to begin reinterpret the the price direction to see if price is going to continue moving in the same direction or is it going to reverse and move in the opposite direction and how does that impact our approach to the market.

Support & Resistance Levels Preview 18:33

Support and Resistance are the single most important concepts in trading Chart Patterns. Defining support and resistance is not as easy and you might say that support occurs when buying demand halts a price decline and resistance is when selling pressure overwhelms buying demand and stops a price rise. Those definitions are certainly true, but you could just be describing a minor low or minor high. Perhaps a better definition would include several minor lows or minor highs stopping near the same price multiple times. Support and resistance are not individual price points, but rather thick price level bands of that slow or even stop price movement. Prices do pierce support or resistance areas, and sometimes it occurs quite quickly; at other times, numerous attempts must be made by enthusiastic buyers trying to overwhelm just as enthusiastic sellers.

Eventually, one of the two warring parties wins. If buyers win, prices burst through the resistance level and may even gap upward. If sellers win, prices tumble. For traders, the trick is to anticipate where prices will stall and to trade accordingly. An important thing to note is that you should always extend your SAR lines in to the future because more often than you would think past SAR levels tend to play out again in future. If you have those all drawn in and extend to the future you will pick it up a lot easier.

Head & Shoulders Pattern Preview 17:44

The Head & Shoulder pattern is considered to be a very significant pattern when it comes to predicting possible price reversal to the downside. This pattern is a Bearish Reversal Pattern which means it indicates that trend direction is possibly going to change from upwards to downwards.

When these patterns confirm they have a high probability of fully completing and are the most common & reliable of the reversal patterns.

Inverted Head & Shoulders Pattern Preview 16:26

The formation of this pattern is exactly the same as the Head & Shoulders pattern discussed in the previous lecture. However this pattern is just inverted and happens in the opposite direction. This means that the pattern is a Bullish Reversal Pattern and indicates that trend direction is possibly going to change from downwards to upwards.

When these patterns confirm they have a high probability of fully completing and are the most common & reliable of the reversal patterns.

Rounding Tops & Bottoms Pattern Preview 17:14

The Rounding Tops & Bottoms are long-term reversal patterns that are best suited for weekly price charts. Rounding Bottoms are also referred to as a Cup & Handle pattern, and represents a long consolidation period that turns from a bearish bias to a bullish bias. For Rounding Tops it represents a long consolidation period that turns from a bullish bias to a bearish bias.

Double Tops & Bottoms Pattern Preview 15:39

Double Tops are Bearish reversal patterns with price entering in an upward direction, followed by 2 significant highs forming almost a "M" shape in price. Upon price breaking lower and through the confirmation level being the low of our initial reversal, this now gives us the go ahead that the pattern has now confirmed and price could potentially continue moving lower.

Double Bottoms are Bullish reversal patterns with price entering in a downward direction, followed by 2 significant lows forming almost a "W" shape in price. Upon price breaking higher and through the confirmation level being the high of our initial reversal, this now gives us the go ahead that the pattern has now confirmed and price could potentially continue moving higher.

Ascending & Descending Triangle Pattern Preview 15:55

Ascending & Descending Triangle patterns are very similar to their cousin the symmetrical triangle pattern. However they differ by the trend lines that they form between. Where a Symmetrical Triangle forms between 2 diagonal slopping trend lines converging towards each other squeezing price into the apex of the the triangle, the Ascending & Descending Triangle forms between a flat horizontal line and a diagonal line slightly changing the way we read and interpret the pattern. This lecture will now cover those key differences and how we approach the market when we identify a pattern like this forming on a price chart.

Pennant & Flag Pattern Preview 13:12

Pennants and flags are considered to be only continuation patterns within a clearly defined trend.

Pennants are similar to triangles in their structure but they are usually smaller and created over a shorter period of time. They are also considered to be continuation patterns only within a clearly defined trend. It’s often useful to hone in on a shorter time frames to identify these patterns a bit better as they may not always be visible on the larger time frame.

Flags are created by a small and short counter trend channel before price breaks out in the same direction as the preceding trend. Two types of flags exist, bull flags and bear flags with the type being determined by the preceding trend and the direction we entered the flag pattern from.
