This guy just made $10,000 in 10 minutes. >> What they are doing is that these buyers are trying to protect it. Done. We took another 2,000 out of the market. We took another 3,600. Bam. $24,300 for the session. We are done in 20 minutes. I trade million accounts. It's my personal account. You cannot do $25,000 session getting a small risk on a 100,000 account. It's impossible. What you see here is not only because of the volume and the platform because we need to be honest in this. It's >> the world's best scalper, one and only
Fabio Valentino. >> If the markets today wants to give me 30,000, I take 30,000. If the market is continuing to action, I can continue to trade and build. But holding one trade for all the movement is something that I was doing before and I was less consistent. For the first time in the industry, I sit down and do a live podcast whilst the trader trades live the New York session. >> On Monday, we did $10,000. Yesterday, we closed New York at 28,000 and today we are sitting at 11,000. So, we will try to close a
six figures week. >> I asked key questions about his process, how he handles draw down, key trading decisions in real time. >> You cannot have 1 to 20 risk to reward with 75%. If you have call me because you are some billionaire. >> In this 2hour session you will see a deep dive into an elite trading mind. >> The number one podcast in the trading space, the fastest growing, and that's thanks to every single one of you. Welcome everyone back to the Words of Wisdom podcast. The number one trading podcast in the world and the
fastest growing thanks to all of you and our incredible guests. Talking which today we're in Dubai and we're doing something a bit different today. Today we're going to have live trading which you know already who that must be. This trader was on Chart Fanatics and had an episode that did over a million views in just three weeks because he traded live the New York session. Not only that, he has another video uh that's already done 1.7 million doing the exact same thing, trading live in front of you. And right now, before coming to today's episode
and recording, he's already traded London Session where he's made over $10,000 just in London session alone. New York session has just begun. It's the one and only Fabio Valentini. >> Thank you for hosting and this lovely presentation. >> Thank you. >> Today we are going to do a breakdown of the New York session. Now considering all the love that the community of chart fanatics showed to me. I'm going to share uh the London session that I did yesterday and today. It was amazing session. Uh really high rate, amazing setup. And now we are ready to
start. Today it's day 15 of October. I traded the London also. Today we are sitting at 10,000 and uh almost $11,000 profit. Uh I have to share with you my rules uh to trade the session. The draw down the maximum draw down that I accept for the day is 10,000. So considering we are already in profit, the maximum that we can do is lose this 10,000, go back to break even and lose another 10,000 because I'm not willing to go above this uh the previous week. Let me clarify for you uh the the previous days
of the week. So Monday we did uh 28,000 no $10,000. Yesterday we closed New York at 28,000 and today we are sitting at 10 11,000. So we will try to close a six figures week. >> Incredible. And uh the New York session is getting ready. I can see already a little bit of of absorption on the bottom. We are recording the screen so you don't have a shaky camera like I did with Andrea in the first video. But they loved it. They loved it. >> So I'm going to to give a breakdown and I will
get closer to it so we can also see how the session is unfolding. So usually I wait for for European time the first 30 minutes of New York opening to to have a little bit of stability in the session. But I can already see that the sellers are getting absorbed brutally. So I can expect this eye to be taken and then to have a good session going up. I will scale in with small contracts and as we build profit even if we are already 11,000 in profit we are going to so the first the first
high is purge for the day what I expect is to have a long session and I will explain you why we are using the profile distribution of the first the first hours of the session as you can see it's we did an amazing reaction on the value area loop we were doing an introduction Otherwise, this would have been a long >> Yeah. >> And uh it's an amazing long. Now, we expect a little bit of retracement and we can trigger our first long position here. >> What you are seeing here, I change a little bit
the template and I will explain you why. People that see me are used to see big trades. Okay? It's the same template just I make it hollow. So, it's empty inside so they can see better >> the the candles. This is the only change that uh >> What time frame are we on? cuz these candles are closing rapidly. >> I I made the 40 range now. So it's a range chart because when you are in New York opening if you do one minute candle you can have huge candle and all the data inside gets aggregated.
>> So I will show you how much is different one minute or five minutes. Let's do five minute. I show you the one that we were using the other time. >> You see how much is difficult to read. It's all clutter. But if you use either one minute or either I like to use range during openings during opening you can see really clearly what's happening intraday gap it's I'm afraid of tweet Trump again because Friday was >> was pretty difficult and uh so we had an intra in intra gap it's really rare to see something
like this and we are trying to build our first position of the day >> the first position that I'm considering as I was saying to you is going along from the bottom of the range from here. >> Mhm. >> Going to target the value area high. So we have a lot a lot of room of movement. Now this gap is not really convenient for us to trade because we are trading against this huge pressure. I want to see some absorption here. How can we see absorption? As I explained to you big trades >> it means
they are hitting a wall. That is this area that I created >> and then going to capitalize with an asymmetrical risk-to-reward to go long. This this is the the setup that I explained in chart fanatic that is going from the value area low in a momentum day to the value area high and the setup is trying to unfold. They are trying to push down as as of now they are having result. So I don't want to go against the flow if they are managing to breach this level. I don't want to be inside but I
can already start to build my position H. What you see it's interactive broker because it's directly connected. I can start to build by stop. What does it mean that if the market gets heavily absorbed here I want to be cover below this low. Okay. So I'm going to build my position here. We are not going super aggressive on the size and we check if these sellers arriving at follow through. As of now, the sellers are really strong. >> Mhm. >> They breached the level. Okay. So, what I'm doing now is cancelling the buy stop and
going to consider another area. So, this one is not valid. We took a stop loss. No. Why? Because we analyze exactly the interaction between the market participants. Now, this is the distribution. Let's make it including more data. As you can see here, there is a red level. Okay, this one is the P. So where the most volume got exchanged in the value area low. So basically is giving me the point of maximum interest for the accumulation that created this up movement. So this is the second area that I can consider. If this area gets broken,
I don't want to be long for the day. So it will be really with a big probability a consolidation day. Let's check what they are doing. We can check also with the delta what they can expect and we can start to build our long position. One, two, three contract going for four. We are going to cover ourself below here. It's only $2,000 risk. We can take other position here. and we are going to try all the recovery of this movement for a profit of $7,000. Now, I didn't load it full size because I want to
scale as we go up. I want to be right with the market. So, I'm not to load everything while the market is collapsing, of course. >> But what I can see clearly here is that they are starting to get heavily absorbed. So I have an area and if we want to be more conservative we can already cover our stop losses here. We have half the risk on the position and going to load also position on the way high high. So this one is too high. We can load other two one and two and try to
capitalize on the long selling sellers super aggressive but unfortunately not fortunately for us they are being absor absorbed we are risking 2,000 okay we are risking 2,000 to make a potential $10,000 okay so soon guys we will go risk- free on this position This is the AAA setup. >> Yeah. >> Why AAA setup? Value area low. So we are really low on the curve. The market participants are setting up because it's 30 minutes in the session. So it's not uh sellers trying to aggress buyers trying to protect already they understood what they want to do
and we are building already the position for the day. Now it's I don't want to take risk because we are already in profit 11,000 for the day. In 1 minute the position is risk-free. So we are risking zero to make 10,000. >> This is simply a trade that is done low on the curve on absorption. >> Mhm. >> If this level gets broken, we can consider another long position for for the day. Let me clear everything that we have here because it's really confusion confusionary with big trades. The point of risk that we have is
the potential close of the gap. >> Yes. >> Because the sellers can try to protect again the gap. >> Yeah. So, we can consider we are already floating $5,000. We can consider to take some profit for the day. Let's see if we have a reaction. If we see buyers getting crazy aggressive on the upside, it's not worth it to take a position. But we will trail our stop loss. As soon as we see buyers getting in the position, let's check. >> And just to clarify for everyone at home, this is live capture. know that this
is personal account. This is not >> live capital. So he risked actually $2,000 of his own personal capital. Currently floating $5,000 of his own personal capital in the space of a few minutes. Um which is incredible to see. And you could see, you know, one thing we didn't, you know, maybe do in the intro is if needed, Fabio won't speak and will focus, but he's done a really amazing job of really just running through exactly what's happening minute after minute, handle by handle, movement after movement, which I didn't expect personally. I thought I would, you
know, we would give pauses for Fabio to focus. So that's incredible uh you know level of skill set to be able to consistently you know break down exactly what's going on as it's happening while managing entering and executing. I took 5,000 out. Uh not still but stopping profit. Okay. Because I don't want that we are going to hold the gap and to give back the market. We are floating 7,000 just is not wise to like we had anyway we position ourself here guys. Yeah. Zero draw down like >> but I've heard you talk about it
before right. It's not worth you risking 5,000 to make 5,000 >> right. >> Totally not worth like consider that even now we risk 2,000 to make eight. So we are already riskto-reward four. >> Mhm. If we get this takeprofit, it's a five R for the day. Considering that also in the New York in the London session I took five R is 10 R for the day. It's an amazing session. And let me be honest with you, it's not that we shoot 10 session with and we are choosing the best one. We are doing this live.
Okay. >> I I wish I was allowed to spend much time with you. >> So we we are just uh evaluating now the the auction of the buyers. It's crazy aggressive and even without big trades, I can see how much they are protecting. I want to be covered here. We are going to take out 6,000 if it goes bad. >> But as you can see, this is the first level where the buyers are struggling. >> Yeah. >> And when we are having a reaction sell, so I will be really tight with my stop loss because
every tick down that it takes is like five 5 $500 that I give back to the market. We can expect a squeeze if we get this high and we will go directly to take profit. So as soon as they touch this level all these sellers are trying to push down being absorbed. So if we manage to reach 24987 I can consider already a take profit because I can expect an expansion up. Let's see how they do. Let's take a break for a minute there guys cuz I want to tell you about our incredible sponsor Alpha

The links for both will be in the description below. Alpha Capital and Alpha Futures. Use the code RZ for 20% off all challenges. Link is in the description below. Now, let's get back to the episode. As I told you, I traced the horizontal level as the first level of dominion of the sellers. And this is exactly what's happening. How I did it because I saw that this is the first time
in all this movement where sellers are actually having a result. >> Mhm. >> So, it's not about volume, it's not about price, it's about who is winning the battle. Okay. >> I will take 6,700. As I told you, you will see an acceleration as soon as you reach this level. And you can see what aggressive buyers on the top. If the buyers are aggressive on the top, it means that they are willing to pay a higher price to get an asset. So I can expect a continuation and squeeze. We can see a little bit of
absorption here because it's a round number. We are almost at 25,000 that it's a psychological level. Yeah. I'm not willing to give this money back to the market. So I'm going to cover below the gap $8,000 in profit. and we see if they can already we are close to value area high. So here >> done. Okay 10 minutes in the session 10,000 $11,000 of profit. I want to show you a little bit the trading stats of the week so you can understand how I I manage the risk in this account. >> So just to clarify,
it's almost over $1,000 a minute that just took place there. >> Yes. So this is my model NASDAQ model account I'm going to get from Monday. So we have all the week it's 13 till today we are going to generate. So we are in profit for the week 65 66,000 almost this is the track record of the week and I want to clarify something like the maximum draw down that we add is on profit. Okay, as you can see, we are going to capitalize on the the position and risking back our profit. Like if we
want today, we can shoot for a $50,000 session. Just we need to understand if it's worth and I want to show this. This is every single execution >> on losing trades and on profitable trades. What you can see is that all the losing trades are contained in 2500. All the best trades are like 6,000, 10,000. One trade was 12,000. This is the only way to be profitable. Like making sure that when you are wrong, you are wrong fast. >> Yeah. >> So just to do a recap, we took the bottom of the day, we expand
higher without a single draw down. Probably the session is going to continue higher. For me at the moment there is no trades. Uh this was the triple A setup. Let's see if we can have a breakdown and test trade. Yeah. >> So it if they break the value area high. >> So as you can see in volume analysis this one is constantly developing with new information. >> Now we have the up part that is so small because the buy pressure is crazy. What they are trying to do is they are trying to recover the squeeze
that Trump did with the tweet. Okay. >> So in this session what I'm going to use is a momentum model. So if we can break this high, we will see exactly the same that we saw in all our session. So I want to take a small risk here with a buy stop. Why? Because my stop loss will be really tight rates. I can do four contract here and I have an amazing level to to cover myself behind that is this level of aggressive sellers. So they are bu protecting the level like crazy. I can have
a really small stop loss here and I can capitalize on the squeeze. Now the only risk of the squeeze is the feeling level. I can be filled at a level that is not so amazing as someone can expect because the market just does >> what we did in all our funny. Okay. And I need already to prepare my stop loss because it will be so fast that it can give me an absorption. Okay, we are covered. We are only risking 1,500. We are betting here on the squeeze, guys. We are betting on the squeeze. We
are low sides. We are trying to make 3,000, risking, 1560. And as soon as we go high trail stop- loss and get back inside. Why? Because this level is creating a liquidation. There is a big probability that this level will create a liquidation. Now we are getting to the protection level. Why the protection level? You see the area. Yeah. >> Buyers stepping in. >> Sellers are getting aniliated on this level. Absorbed. These are aggressive buyers. What does it mean that if we reach these aggressive buyers, these sellers will need to close. If sellers needs to
close, we have a an expansion higher. Okay. So this is the momentum setup. Yeah. I'm betting on a long session and I'm fast in covering myself if I'm right in the position. Okay. >> So now guys, if we manage to get high, I need to be really fast at covering and adding contract because I want to be in the wave. Yeah. >> Okay. Fast. Okay. We cover. Our stop loss is only 1,200. We are going to put it to zero really fast. Okay, huge auction higher. Where can we cover ourself? Below the aggressive sellers. Okay,
now we want to see a big wave wave up. If the movement is starting, okay, I cover myself here. I'm risking $20 to make 3,000. If the the auction fail, yeah, I don't want to be in because it means that the buyers are not strong. What what happened here? Sellers to back control. I can try another time here with a small stop loss also here. See if we get filled. >> Now what I was trying to explain before is how much chart can become cluttered when it's new your session. Okay. See how much is dirty.
Yes. >> In minutes is really difficult. I prefer to watch one minute but it's really again we are risking 2,000 we are not risking back the profit not even the profit of New York we are risking we are really low on the risk side we want to make 6,000 on this one sellers trying to get aggressive getting absorbed so what I can do load other contracts on the potential squeeze up >> putting all my risk here. Still risking 2,000 but now the potential is to make 7 8 10,000. >> Yes, >> this is dynamic risk
management. >> But you can see the aggressiveness of the management as well. >> It's uh like this part there is no indicator that can help you. This is just daily practice on managing position session by session. And it's really difficult guys to explain this while I do because the mental process is lower than the execution. So I'm trying to do the best. So in this case >> we give back to the market a total of 2,500 on our profit because the auction is low. You can see the auction is really slow in this side. We
can try only the limit because you see that they are pushing with aggression on the top. This is the last trade for the day because if the auction is failing, they are getting back in the range. Yeah, >> I don't want to be inside. Okay. So what I will do here is wait for these big buyers to get supported. Auction going back up covering myself below the low one stop loss. First position is filled. We can also try to get some limit here. four and the last one. So, we trail the risk here and we
are trying to shoot for 5,000 $7,000 also $8,000. But we want to be fast in how much risk we input in the market. I want to be fast at putting risk to zero because this is the most important part. auction is really slow guys. This is really slow session for the day and this is probably because the liquidity got dry after all these move up that we monetize. So they are accumulating as they go up. Let's see if we can >> if if we weren't in the studio right now would you have walked away after
the 10,000 or you would still be looking? >> No, I would walk away because already 20,000 for the session I took a triple A. >> Mhm. just I want to make them participate in all the auction but this is not healthy for my accounts. It's just I want to explain them as much as I can showing all the setup but this is not how I trade when I'm like I if I get the 20,000 profit for the day my rules say it's done because probably you will have consolidation after a strong move. We took the
best move of the London and of the New York we walk away. >> Mhm. This is how it's managed usually, but you know, we are on the channel, people want to see, so let let's do it. >> I appreciate that. I appreciate that. That's why I wanted to ask though to just see what the uh what the reality would have been. >> Yeah. >> But it's good to hear. >> So this position is not what I like. I'm going to take profit on this one. Why? Because the auction failed. >> I was going to say,
yeah, what were your thoughts about this? >> So we are back. We are back in profit at 9,000 for the session. I will try to build on the way up here one and two here. Cover myself here for only 1,600 risk. I remove this one because it's the old take profit. If this sellers get absorbed is another momentum AAA setup. So we can play again. Okay. Okay. We can play putting all our risk here. Okay, let's shoot for $5,000 risking $800. It's an amazing trade this one. We are covered below aggressive sellers failure. >> Yeah.
>> So, we are capitalizing on other trades failure. This is the model. I'm going to take profit as soon as the market goes up because I want to close at 2,000. So, I'm going to bring No, this one is too low. That's trade. Now, the auction is going >> now. They are starting to auction higher. >> Yeah, >> all these big trades are protecting us. >> I expect another expansion up. And what was your settings in terms of the to show as as a bubble on the on the chart? What was the minimum contract? >>
Always the same. It's 30 contracts. >> If you are in London, I use 20. But I record that for the community everything like they have a full master class of one day with me for free. >> So now we are floating again 3,000. I will take a little bit of profit if we break the high because now I start to see that sellers try to protect the top. You see they are developing a sell candle in do in the cons the the situation of dominion of buyers. >> So probably we will go back here and
if we go back here I give back 3,000 to the market is not really convenient for me. But if we break this eye another squeeze will happen. So what they are doing is that these buyers are trying to protect it. They're done. We took another 2,000 out of the market. Oh, amazing. We took another 3,600. Bum. 24,300 for the session. We are done in 20 minutes. But guys, now you know I like always to be humble. But we took the bottom. >> Mhm. >> Till the value area high when the buyers took control. We took
some stop loss and they wanted to show how the stop loss are small related to the profit that you can make. and then we took all the expansion higher. I don't think it's smart to continue trading because after a wave like this zero retracement the market will just go >> sideways and when go sideways it's expensive for me to trade because every trade that I open I pay commission and on futures are not so small in interactive brokers. >> So just let's do a recap of what happened. >> Mhm. The other time on chart fanatic
we exactly went through all the models. So value area high break test these trades. Yeah. Value area low accumulation phase model one model two momentum trades. So we managed to take a new session all the execution that I explained in the model. And there is someone in the comments that I saw. Fabio you are gatekeeping something guys. I don't have another screen. I don't have a phone. You think I will risk $25,000 in one session just to pretend that I use a model just this is my personal model and I decided to share for free
on this channel and the result of the views are amazing and I think we will just guys try to squeeze up again on the tweet of Trump because we are almost reaching this level >> and I want to show you the perspective on the five minutes because all the people are used to to trade on the minute chart. >> Yeah. >> It doesn't change anything. Okay. What I want to show you what happened. Huge aggression on the value area low. >> Yeah. >> Full of sellers. Huge aggression of buyers with result. If you are not
using order flow with price action, you could have take this trade here. How much is your riskto-reward? One one. How much? We did 10 R. >> Yeah. >> It's really different. Okay. So the reason because people say also in the comments is better price action. It's not a battle. I use price action. >> But price action is the impact and the result. Order flow is exactly what's driving the price. >> Yeah. >> Okay. The other information that you can get if we want to make a master class that is worth $20,000 it's options. Zero DT
options nowadays is so important. I didn't use option now but you can use options to get a sentiment for the pressure. >> Okay. >> Okay. Options today were completely long. I only watched this at the beginning of the new year session. So just I decided to flow which platform you can use. There are a lot of free platform but there are also paid platform on the option side. For me, it's not worth to pay 300,400, $500 per month just to know the option pressure. But you can get I I can share with you some links
where they can just see if the option are pushing high >> or low the pressure a good for for pressure. So what we did now is that you can see here we are completing an expansion day. The only trade that we can take is the mitigation and the test of the value area high. Considering this huge aggression for the day, I don't think we will reach this level. I think we are going to shoot for the Trump tweet high. >> Yeah. >> To squeeze another high >> and then I don't know maybe Baron Trump can
try another shot for 200 million. But >> unfortunately, we don't have insider position >> and we it doesn't seem like you need it to be honest. But um just to clarify as well when we're referencing this Trump tweet on Friday the 10th, Trump made a tweet out of nowhere in regards to tariffs on China. Cryptocurrency absolutely melted. NQ and everything really sold off aggressively and then on the weekend he tweeted oh actually no is old as well. >> China president is so good. >> Yeah, my dear friend. So >> so volatility has been increased. Uh
you know Fabio was saying just before we started how you know this week's been a bit crazy in terms of trading for him. really difficult to trade this one because as you can see >> you get sharp moves you get really hard expansion really hard usually the market condition like this is the tweet okay >> the market condition that I'm used to trade is this one like you build you accumulate you expand I take the breakout trade and the value area low this one is not a breakout trade it's a collapse of the universe okay
and what they did today is that they are just targeting this high and even my pre-trade model was that today we will push and squeeze this high we will try to reach at least this level also market maker don't like this kind of environment okay like this kind of tweet is the reason market makers can lose the profit of the month because liquidity completely disappear because they don't want to input risk here so the price melt so be really careful ful with days like this specifically if you are leverage on crypto because you can get
slippage you can get not filled at the level that you want if you are doing CFD the risk is way higher because it's on the broker when he want to close you but uh be really careful out there this market condition is not easy to trade just what I'm trying to share is that professional tools are out there if hedge found an institution use orderflow there is a reason you watching exactly what is driving in price at fundamentals. So it's not some kind of furu guru stuff that is providing you with a readym made model
and also one dear friend of mine told me look you are going to do live session you are going to show people that is possible to make five figure sessions six figure weeks but you are not clarifying the capital that you're putting in the market the total account so I want to be really clear on this I trade million accounts it's my personal account you cannot do $25,000 session getting a small risk on a 100,000 account. It's impossible. And I want also to clarify that what you see here is not only because of the volume
and the platform because we need to be honest in this. It's years and years of reading that brings you to this level. Don't expect that you start to use orderflow and you get results like this because it's not a magic magic tool. is not something that is alone sufficient to make you profitable. >> That level of experience and the reps that you have to put in is what develops to what you're showcasing today as well as obviously capital size that you're trading with. But you know if someone puts in those reps, the whole purpose really
is to highlight what is possible when you've done that leap level work when you are able to decipher the information that order flow does provide you in conjunction with as you've already marked out you know just understanding significant highs or liquidity you you use this in conjunction together is what then creates such a result. I think people are blown away by the accuracy of course the you know the confidence of execution that you have but I love the fact that you always highlight the years and years of effort and time and sacrifice that has to
go in >> to make it actually possible. One question I do have in terms of I'm sure people are asking maybe or thinking this like you've marked out these potential areas that price could go to. >> Yes. >> Why not just hold your trade? Why not I know obviously you're a scalper but why not hold your trade and get this potential bigger target? >> I did a lot of research on this. Okay. So what I notice is that you can shoot for high riskto-reward but if you shoot for high riskto-reward you will be completely destroyed
in contraction day. Okay I prefer look I can show you because it's really important for people to understand my complete model. Okay. So on the account I want to take only from Monday I took like 100 execution like total of 100 execution. I want to show you the average uh winning trade. Okay. So the average winning trade is $1,000 on one contract. Okay. >> One contract. Now I load 10 15 20. The average losing trade is 600. If I try to shoot to get the maximum high, my W rate will get lower. I already don't
have a huge W rate. I have 43 to 49%. Okay, >> but my W rate is based on average and maximum winning trades is $10,000 per contract. >> The max losing is 3,200. If I want these numbers to go up and these numbers will go down. It's a balance. Okay. So what I prefer is is to have consistent 10,000 7,000 10,000 days instead of having small days like -5 - 6 - 7 + 60 okay because if you try to shoot here and you will here today you will have maybe 50,000 60,000 day but yesterday
in the London I would have minus 5 and yesterday had plus 10 okay so it's always to which kind of approach You can be a sniper and shoot for the high. But your skill is not sufficient because if there is enough pressure, you will never reach this level. Okay. Maybe now we go down. Imagine floating 60,000 in one session and seeing break even. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> It's it's a trading approach that I understand. It's more relaxed. But I don't like it because I like to read the market in life as it develop and
if it's necessary cut my trades. If the markets today wants to give me 30,000, they take 30,000. If the market is continuing to action, I can continue to trade and build. But holding one trade for all the movement is something that I was doing before and I was less consistent. I know that it's counterintuitive, >> but if you think about this, getting from A to B and A to C, it's of course a huge number of different in ticks. Okay, this probability in ticks is contained and distributed through days. Look at a day like this.
Okay, what I will do? I will get value area alloy and I will shoot for the close completely zero. This one is a session that I made 28,000. Okay, completely zero. Look at this week. What I can expect down we go to cover here. Bam. Liquidated up. Mhm. >> Oh, we are distributing down value area high. I shoot down but I don't want to close here. That is level mark. I want to close here. Bam. >> Like I understand what you say but this model of keeping and holding it's only working in days of volatility
and you know that there is statistic of the market that 70% of the time the market is stationary. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I want to make money also when it's stationary. So, I'm willing to sacrifice this extra 20,000 to have 70 80% of green days. >> And it's also, you know, something to take note of is, as you mentioned here, you might get stopped out, >> but you'd be right. >> Yes. >> Right. But then what's saying you're going to get the execution? >> Imagine how much you bite your hands if you get affiliate auction
liquidated here and see something. It's really frustrating because you were in profit of maybe 20,000. Now you are minus 5 for the day and also you are correct and then when you enter here because it was so fast that to get this movement >> like you needed to be sure really that the market will continue. >> So what what this is the approach that I'm having constantly this is the account that I show on where I do I call it hypers scalping because every new information of the market for me is a way to monetize
it. Okay. So if we go down here we can check we took the absorption holding holding holding trapped buyers I would have closed here okay I will never hold till here why because now and what it's important for me is now the market is bunching on a wall okay >> and I don't want to risk that this wall takes back 20,000 like let's put everything in frame if we hold this trade till up it was like 20,000 trade Okay, I have my break even here and someone says I'm already break even. I don't care. And
no, it's not like this because you are willing to sacrifice 20,000 on the down. I treat every trade not only from stop perspective but from profit perspective. Okay. The only things I'm willing to do now if if it breaks, I load again $2,000 profit and I squeeze another 10,000 for the market, but I'm not giving back the 20,000 that I make. This one is crazy. >> You'd rather build your cushion, build your profit and then risk your profit only. >> Risk your profit if there are the condition till we don't go for. >> So right
now there's only two trades you're saying, right? One if we break above and then retest >> or we retest the exact and also this trade here there is one thing that is holding me to take it. Okay. >> Because we didn't close the structure. This is a movement that the market makers don't like. >> Okay. because they are not willing to capitalize on this and this movement create this imbalance. The the nature of the market is to rebalance and expand. >> Okay. So this for example it's a model of chart fanatic that I gave that
is the test of the value area maybe a little bit of absorb sellers and then we have another trade. This one is a potential 30,000 additional trade for the day. Getting this trades means that you are betting on the fact that all this will not be rebalance and that these aggressive buyers are willing to break this level. It doesn't seems to me a condition in the market where they can break because look how much they tried. It's 20 minutes that they are trying as soon as we exit the trade here they stopped. Okay. Why we
exit the trade and they didn't shoot high? Because I see them struggling. Okay. I I give an example to the student on YouTube. It's like a boxing match. Okay. Would you ever bet on a winner after four round after is getting completely destroyed? I will never do this. Okay. Now the market is saying look >> in this condition. >> The winner won the first two rounds. >> Yeah. >> Now the other one is punching back and they are almost the same. Okay. I don't want to place a bet. I want to place a bet if
you win another round. Why? Because my probability gets higher. I know that it's counterintuitive because traders expect that the more activity you make, the more you hold, the more profit you made. I did extensive statistical research on this and it's not like this. And you can understand this also with VWAP standard deviation. Okay. >> The probability that you will get the maximum standard deviation is like 10%. Yeah. So out of 10 session, one session reached the extreme level. >> Why you are willing to sacrifice the profit of all the nine session build the profit then
when the market is ready to give you it will show you for example now the buyers are getting again aggressive. Okay. What we can do is try an expansion phase with our stop loss below here risking maybe $2,000. Okay. to make another 46,000 and closing 30,000. >> Yeah, >> this is a trade we can do. Okay. But not when we are getting absorbed because when we are getting absorbed like we are betting on the losing side. >> Yes. >> And and they know that um usually traders think in terms of set and forget. Okay. They
execute here and they say my target is here. I go to eat pizza. I cannot do this. Why? because I have had too much pain to see risk-to-reward 1 to 20 1 to 30 going back to zero. Yeah. And when it's personal account and when you are giving back to the market 40 50,000 trust me that you start to take partials. Yeah. >> Or you start to to get it down. >> Then of course it's amazing when you see a trade getting the bottom of the day getting to the top of the range but is
only 20% of the session. Okay. For me it's not worth it to to trade like this but it's totally a personal opinion. I have one of my dear friend he trade only gold. It does lowly rate huge riskto-reward. >> Okay. This is another model that I can respect. It's not from my side because you have days of the calendar red huge green red red huge green. I don't like it. >> Yeah. >> Okay. It's just personal opinion. It's like >> Exactly. Yeah. It's being able to handle the reality of the decision you make. Right. So,
like even going back to what we were saying earlier, this trade even if it was to play out and and you know fit the criteria in reality there, if we weren't sat here, you wouldn't be on the charts. >> I I wouldn't be. >> Do you when you finish, do you just close it and then walk away? >> I close it. I close it. I can get back to the market for example for what he's doing now. Now, I like it. Why pushing higher? What happened to this seller? >> Sellers is getting locked. Okay. So,
now we have a potential squeeze here. This is the only trade that I can evaluate. Let's do another one for the community. Okay. And going to cover really low. How much are we risking? 800. Okay. Why? Because if these aggressive sellers are holding, we can get the squeeze at the top. Let's try to close this 30,000. Okay. If we are wrong, it's not convenient for us to continue trading. We can load one on the app because if it explode, I'm immediately in profit and that's free. Okay, consider it's only $800 risk. Uh so we can
take another trade if this one goes to stop. But I will not continue because as you can see sellers are really good at protecting this level. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So now we are betting on the fact that this buyer protected and these sellers will not continue the movement. So we are you see how much time how many times they push right absorb push absorb aggressive buyers. What does it mean? They put the lock here. They say, "No, no, no, bro. You don't go here." Okay. What are you trying to do? It's not the time.
So now I start to like it. And they want to be covered immediately. As soon as I'm right, we cover below this. >> Yeah. >> And it's done. Okay. Risking. Look, not even if I do $2,80. Okay. Where are we trying to shoot for the extra 6,000? the session. This is not something to be tried at home. It is not one of the best setup and we had the fill auction. What does it mean? Again, you see how much buyers they absorbed. >> Sellers are strong on this level. Now, what is good for us? Because
there is something that is bad, something that is good. If they take back control, they get anniated. We go directly to target in one candle. Okay? But this is happening because we've already had this expansion move, right? The move, the AAA setup's already taken place. Yes. >> So this is why we're then seeing price stall at this level. >> Yes. Exactly. Now like you had the expansion now. It's like an elastic band. You cannot only throw. You need time to get it back to normal state. Then you can throw again. Okay. >> Imagine like a
crossbow or a bow. >> To shoot an arrow, you have before to do it again. You cannot shoot two arrow in one. So this is how the market really moves. Okay. So they are now it seems like a buy accumulation. It's not the best one to be honest, but I see that there is a wall here. Like I'm I'm not taking a trade that is not protected. I'm taking a trade that is protected by a buy wall. Okay. On a $25,000 day, what I'm risking 2,000, not even 10%. It's okay. You can you can build
on the profit. But if we break this level, we start to go back in the range, you know that you made what you needed to made. Okay. And for example, now I will be really in anxiety if I see this level not holding and knowing that if you shoot down, I give back to the market 25,000. >> Yeah. >> Like it's also risk-to-reward is not only when you take a trade, it's also when you manage a trade. This is something that everyone forget. Not many traders are right. They take good trades, but they want to
shoot for 1 to 40. >> Mhm. If you close one to three, one to four, maybe you have 75% win rate. But they want to show one to shoot one to 40 and they have 90% losing days. But I'm still profitable because one day in the monte, okay, is it sustainable to do with million where you see I going down 100,000 to make 10,000. Yeah, but I'm profitable. Yes, but your brain, how does it work? So what happened here? Philuction. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So we don't want to be in this trade again. Yep, there
is only one condition where we can be in this trade again if we break this eye. Okay, we take the test. But now the market I know my chicken is going to go here again. Why? Because all this movement is not efficient. Auction market theory always rebalance movement. >> Okay. And this movement is not balanced. It's a huge expansion without testing anything. Yeah. So it's pretty risky. Now, it's also not clean at all. >> Well, in terms of range, I did want to ask like what's that based off when when you say range chart? What's
it? >> It's Oh, but I like this. It's almost based It's based on uh what's closest to the 5 minutes. Okay. 40 range is really close to the 5 minutes. But you see, but I like this one. Wait a second. It's because I want to cover behind this. You see we are we are going to auction really good high and they want to cover here. We are going to have a risk 1,600 for the last move up. Okay, this is a trade that is worth to do. Why? Because they show me that they went below
the structure. >> Yeah, >> they completely failed. What does it mean that there is something here >> in terms of passive orders? There is a huge absorption. Okay. Now, position management. Okay. If they break this level, I can put all my stop loss below this. >> Yeah. >> So, I'm still risking 2,000, but now my profit potential is way higher. Okay. >> Mhm. >> So, this is the the concept of managing your trades. You see still 1,400. I can even load one contract more two contract more. Sorry. >> Better not from here but better executing
here. >> So you're showing right now you're showing how you have to be near the speed fast. >> Yeah. And we saw how you normally are you on like a PC. >> Yes. >> Yeah. So you saw how like the we were struggling to drag it down. >> Yeah. because you need to be fast and I was clicking on the level but usually in my setup I have four screen okay like it's not easy to to trade with a trackpad guys it's trust me >> but in my trading room home trading room >> I'm faster

again buyers protecting the level but at the same time buyers are getting absorbed so now it's I'm not really confident on this why trapid buyers so much aggressive sellers >> fortunately we are risking so less >> this is what >> keep you but you need to take a lot of but I'm relaxed because I'm risking a small portion of profit >> and when you risk this small portion and you build for the day, you build for the day, you are sitting on 22,000. >> Mhm. >> Like what is the worst that can happen? You close
to $20,000. Yeah. What's the problem? When you start to be aggressive at the start of the session where you don't have profit, your brain plays tricky games. There is a huge part about the mindset that people don't understand. But when you are in draw down, you have less clarity. Okay? So your role is immediately to build a cushion for the day. Mhm. >> and sit on it. >> Yeah. >> Like a king. Okay. You stay there. Worst that can happen is you lose the profit back. >> Now let me commend this again on this big
sellers. This is completely dominion of sellers. Okay. So this this expansion high that we were trying failed. Two times it failed. Okay. >> We still want to be long. They didn't broke the structure. We trailed our stop to make it slow, but they didn't broke the structure. We are still sitting at $20,000. We can, you see, aggressive trades on the bottom. We can still try to get it on the way up building and at the top of the range. But why? It's not that we are getting crazy now and we want to to start building
because they show aggressive trades on the bottom. Mhm. >> Completely absorbed again. 1,120. Okay. The reason I fraction is because I'm fast and I can understand really fast how much am I risking. >> Okay. >> Mhm. >> If you put immediately 10 contract, you cannot build exactly in the level to make the risk always 2,000. Maybe you load everything on the top of the market and you risk 4,000. >> Yes. >> Okay. by but but but by putting risk in the markets this way you can still do it. Now it's getting a little bit dirty.
This is not easy to read but I will make it easy for you. >> Protection level from buyers, protection level from sellers. >> Okay, we are covered below the protection level for buyers in this case. >> We are position up in the range. This is not where I should have put my position. I was slow this time. This is what I should have put as soon as you see aggressive sellers because in this case I could have already been break even. >> True. Yeah. >> Okay. Let's try to shoot for an expansion higher. You see
again on the top of the range what what happened? Buyers >> aggressive absorbed. >> Same at the bottom. Yeah. >> Absorbed. Okay. So this is the tighter. This is the fight. The smaller compression range gives the best upside potential. Interesting. Now I I like to put horizontal level on the last protection level. Before the last protection level was this one. >> Mhm. >> When you understand it, it's not so hard to get it. It's asymmetrical risk. They load again aggressive again absorbed. Okay. You can see every time they try to go here, bum bum bum
bum bum. Okay. What we can do is get a buy stop here because if we arrive there, we put all our risk here. So, still lower, still 2,000 risk, but more upside potential. This is the game. >> And also, if they touch this high, it means that buyers won the battle. >> Mhm. >> And if they won the battle, I want to be on the side of the winner, >> of course. Yeah. Let's see what they can do. >> Failed. Yeah. >> Failed >> defend it. >> See the risk of executing a lot of trades
is that you get caught in this consolidation. >> Yeah. >> And you pay a lot of >> And this is why you normally walk away, right? >> Why I walk away? Because I took the I take only the best AAA. This one is not a AAA, but it's a setup that can explain to the the viewer how you momentum trade. >> Yeah. >> So when you walk away, you walk away completely. You don't look again. Don't look again and start to do something else because otherwise if you see something interesting you want to open but
I'm in profit let's let's risk something else here >> you see this is destroying the buyers >> this means that the this is the protection level okay they try to go again here what's happening sellers controlling done okay 70 thou 17,758 for the session and now again buyers. Okay, you can continue to build up for the day. You can use this 7,000 to make another 25, another 30. You can do it, but not from here. >> Okay, it's not smart to do it from here. If we need to evaluate a new trade, we need to
break >> because otherwise also this big bias is not really sitting confidently. Okay, we want to try a last one in this case if they break. Okay, so we want to see this one not holding. Let me buy stop here. Buy stop here. Buy stop here and the other one I can load on the retracement. Now what the market is showing me they have results. Yeah. >> So it means that the level that we used to close our trades was perfect. >> Mhm. >> This level one was perfect. This exactly, you remember we closed here.
Okay. This was exactly when the market started to slow down. >> Yeah. >> Now we are betting on the reaccumulation phase. >> Mhm. >> That it's it's a really good trade. The problem is that every time they go to test the accumulation phase, you are liquidated. Yeah, you can take a lot of small stop loss, but five small small stop loss is $10,000. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> Like what you >> this absorption. >> Okay. >> I was going to say like what are your thoughts? Like I know we're profitable for the day, profitable for this
session in particular still, but after taking I think that was three stop losses. Yes. What are you thinking? What's happening? totally okay because a risk in a momentum trade that is valid as soon as you have a mental process of a setup that can pay you five four six times the risk I'm okay like I'm not worried at all like we we went to 24,000 to 17,000 I'm calm I know that for the day we were 24,000 okay we can still go to 10,000 for the day so I have still a little bit to risk
because I only risk the profit of the session >> so we are up 8,000 We are still profitable for London. We can try to build another trade and close at 30. >> Yeah, >> a 13,000 trade will be good. But the market is not giving us and this is important guys to understand the condition. If the condition gets this you cannot watch this and says I want to make because the market is saying to you we are in contraction. Yeah we can stay like this four hours. >> What are you going to take seven eight
stop loss? >> Mhm. So now they reach again the this the protection level that is on the bottom side. Okay, this one is good. You can bet on an expansion higher but on this one I will take a smaller risk like I will not risk 3,000 or more not even the time you see while I explain the market already unfolded here. So what I want to do is loading here protect protecting myself here because what does it mean that if we reach here this one won the battle. Yeah. >> If this one won the battle
this one probably is ready for squeeze. >> Okay. Okay. Absorption here again. I like it. This is a level where we can cover ourself. Now riskto-reward wise let's check 10 contract here. Okay 10 contract we are risking 2,700 to make a potential 10. Okay it's not bad. The problem is that again they are not holding. So I need to cancel you see how much you need to be >> dynamic fast and dynamic and understand how the market is behaving. Okay. >> How easy or hard was it to be dynamic? You know when you was developing
this skill set >> it's all about real execution. Like everyone thinks you need to study on books. Like I'm not a big fan of theory. I'm a big fan of practice. Start with a 10,000 account, try to build it to 20, 30, 40. In the process, while you build the account, you understand so many things >> that you understand also why some trades are not worth for me. Okay. So, I'm a big fan of practice. >> Yeah. >> And for example, now they did an amazing failed auction. The sellers, we can jump in. Sorry this
sometimes I stop but it's really hard to >> that's what we're here for. Yeah. >> This is what we clarified on the chart for next episode that that was live charting. >> Yeah. Live trading is more difficult guys because you need to be super fast in your mental process. What I saw here is the last point of protection from from buyers. So if this one doesn't hold, we are done for the day and we go down. >> Yeah. But if this one hold I'm risking 2,400 to make a potential 10 15 I can bring the
account to 30,000 for the day and it's not a lot of movement that I need. Yeah. >> Okay. And also if I'm fast this 2,400 can go to zero risk really fast. >> Mhm. sellers taking control back again on the level. Now I expect to see these buyers passive showing the upper hand. Okay. So all this area is the protection level that we have. >> Yeah. Let's see how we are doing for the day. Aggressive sellers again done what we can expect now acceleration. You see? >> Yeah. >> Now we are out of the range.
Now all the look aggressive sellance on the bottom and you can expect now we can expect to arrive back here. Okay. Now what happened? This is important to understand. We took three trades and we took three trades that were on the long side and four consolidation trades. Okay, in these four consolidation trades, we took stop- loss really small. We are still $5,000 in profit. This is the power of risk-to-reward. Okay, this is the power of building profit for the day. Now in this case the setup that you can evaluate the triple A is this one.
Okay. It's on the test on the upper range. This one is an amazing setup. You can also try to shoot at least for this eye. >> So this is a setup that can bring you to 15,000 to 40. >> Mhm. >> Continuing to engage here for me it's not worth it because it can >> but it wasn't worth for you anyway personally. It's only because we're shooting this video. >> Wasn't worth for me if I was alone. But for me, $10,000 is not changing my life. And I'm really happy to show also how to handle
draw down. Okay. Is not switching my mood, but is giving to the audience an understanding of a symmetrical riskto-reward and why it's not worth to engage it. Okay. The next video that will come out on my channel is one session that I started and I took like six, seven stop-loss, eight stop loss maybe exactly like this. Okay. >> So the first content on my channel will be my work session. Why I'm doing this? Because I want to teach them that's an exchange. You are putting risk in the market. The market is giving you back something.
To make a session of $15,000 in profit, you need to be stoic. You need to be strong enough to have a 10,000 draw down and continue your life like nothing happened. >> This is what they need to understand before the discipline that it takes and to build this you have to go through a journey that start with losses. Mhm. >> This is the reason I wish everyone, they will kill me, they will say that, but I wish everyone to enjoy their bad days and streak of stop-loss because you will bless these days because they teach
you how to survive. You cannot be a boxer if you don't know how to get hit and stay still standing on your feet. It's easy when the market for example if today was first wave second wave third wave $70,000 for but this creates in the mind of the viewer of chart fanatic a a wrong misconception about trading because they expect that they can do this this session was perfect because we were precise we protected our profit we took two AAA trains then we start to brag around what can we do what can you execute I
want to explain momentum This is what your brain does in real training when specifically when you want to merge the educational part with the execution part because you you feel that you need to do. Okay, >> this is the same pressure that people get when they start trading to pay the bills. No, but I need to make this profit for the month otherwise I cannot pay my bills. This is what destroy you. It's pressure. And this is what in the World Cup for example happened to me like really >> I I was trying to shoot
for the first place and I sacrifice that 6% profit that if I will kept it would have gave me the first place. I still close with a 500% in 12 months of live execution but I could have got the first place. Why I didn't took it? Because I want to show to the world how much I can make. This is pure ego. >> Mhm. You take execution that are not following the models, you are still profitable. Yeah, but the first one was 220%, I closed 220. So you sacrifice the possibility and this is something that
people needs to understand. Now on proper maybe it's a little bit easier because it's not your money, you don't care. Okay? But when you have a personal account it's big enough that is millionaire personal accounts you pay this error in cash and immediate the trading is the only the only teacher that removes error from you in form of cash and immediate. So be really careful about this. As you can see big movement we if we rewatch the session after this >> it's not worth to trade three because usually you have >> consolidation >> you will
see that probably prediction is right okay probably they will skyrocket up but it's the same as I was saying before >> while you while you try to take the short how many times you get liquidated okay this is the the lesson that I can give to them Well, it goes back to as well uh what we were saying or that question I asked earlier is why don't you hold? Why don't you hold? But imagine >> holding holding and seeing that only this win is 7,000 less. >> Yeah, >> it's not worth for me. It's not
worth like and just cover yourself as soon as it break you cover yourself >> and you trade. But then it went back and it removed you. Yes. But why I close my trades here instead of waiting for stop- loss here? because I prefer to have a controlled risk that big winner >> instead of having one huge winner, but if it goes bad, I give back all the profit of the new session. >> Plus, why would you do that anyway when the concept and the framework of the trade is based on the fact that they failed
here? >> Yeah, they failed and therefore they failed. >> You could say give it breathing room, but why? here here the trade that I was trying to fade >> it's called value area low fade okay so it's a bet that you go from the downside to the upside yeah >> there is only one market condition where this trade is not profitable is when the aggressive buyers are stuck so they cannot break okay so as you can see also if we try again here we will have again take another stop worth it okay probably we redell
balance the session and then we go again up. Okay. And this is I want to show you also something that the stop loss that we took the stop-loss that we took here from the starting of the session till now. Wait one second. And they want to show them the single trade. Look at these rits. This was the session. Look how much they are a lot but they are small. They are controlled. Yeah. Okay. I don't want that a loss can be like this because otherwise it bring back all my my profit and also this week
this is really important to understand. This week my equity line of the sell trade is almost in uh draw down. is 1,700 minus the equity long. It's $67,000 in profit. Okay, this is important to understand because it means that in this market scenario, the sale is not profitable. And I know why >> because when you have a huge expansion down like TR trades, okay, the market will try to build again till the level of inflection down. >> Yeah. >> Because market maker want to transact efficiently. Yeah. >> And this is the reason you have building
of the session uh building sorry of the week like this and then if you join the direction against the squeeze you can build a lot of profit for the session. So as we can see D now it's five. Usually they move in the power hour. >> Yeah. So usually you see now we will stay in this range probably for another one 1 hour 2 hour then they reaccumulate down and in the power hour you go up. >> Yeah I will show probably I will show you I will send you the screen of the power hour
session >> usually they do like this. This is called P shape in volume analysis. It means that all the volume is built on the top part here. you go back to test to reaccumulate and you rebalance the profile and then you continue. This is a model that I gave to chart fanatic and it's uh this is the momentum squeeze that we took. The second one is this absorption of the sellers. >> Yeah. and then skyrocket up. Definitely because the other thing to note as well about you know why don't you just hold the trade is
the fact that you were done in 10 minutes >> is when you are done in 10 minutes you need to take and go home maybe it will not be the most educational session but you need to take and go home because it means that the market expanded in the first in the first hour of the session >> 90% of the session that expand they rebalance till the power hour this is the structure of the New York if you expand immediately And Trump is not tweeting. You rebalance. >> Yeah. >> Expanding power hour. >> Yeah. >>
Okay. This is this is the reason 90% of my execution of model B testing of the value area after their expansion is from 7:30 European time till 9 because it's the power hour movement. This is what you can expect. For example, now the market is giving you because every indicator have a weak point. Okay. The big trades have a weak point when you are in consolidation >> because they are just fighting but no one is winning at the moment. >> If we want to add another pro proxy we can put the cumulative volume delta that
is the summary of all the delta exchange in the session of the contract and this give you the pressure. As you can see also the cumulative volume delta is not so defined in the starting of the session was so clear. We are bullish now. They are selling a little bit, buying a little bit, selling a little. Don't engage here. Don't engage. If they break, we have another trade. >> Mhm. >> Probably not before power hour. >> That's okay. That's okay. It was more than enough just to start off straight away with $10,000 win, which was
a one to five risk-to-reward, which was insane >> given the fact you'd already made $10,000 as well. um you know in London session as well as then after that $10,000 trade we then took was it one or two I think it two more trades >> I think it was three more trades >> and uh but was crazy the draw down like because >> when you took a trade if you can put your stop loss to zero in the first minute it means that you are joining the battle on the momentum side removing the stress in
the first minute is something that is crazy for this field I I do also swing trading based on fundamentals. >> Everyone says how you can scalp. I want to say to them how you can swing. For me going to sleep with a stop loss in machine that I'm doing that I wake up with anxiety. >> It's it's different approach just there is not the right one. If you are a sculper you are usually one person that is patient >> and this one person that is able to control emotion while you trade. Yeah. >> If you
get excited for 5,000, 10,000, oh my god, I knew that I shouldn't have open, now I open again. It's not for you. Like, leave it there. >> How have you always been, you know, more stoic and calm? No, I started with my first account that was scalping the NASDAQ on CFD and I was always trying to trail my stop loss but the spread was me up, you know, because the spread is always widening in CFD broker. I don't know. And I was getting so mad that I would execute again if the stop loss was taken
by spread. this will destroy my statistics. Like the win rate is way lower than 40%. If you can get 40%, 50 60% in the best month with one, two, three, like your equity line is like this. >> Mhm. >> So it's uh I've not I've not always been like this. I've been like this when I start to detach myself from the output of the session. Like I don't even watch the performance at the end of the day. I watch at the end of the week. Like for me a six figures week it's amazing. This one
is 60,000 for the week from Monday. It's amazing. And I know that in 5 days around I win four days and I lose one. >> Yeah. >> So when I start to see that the session goes bad, the condition are not bad, usually I walk away. >> Yeah. >> I don't let the market take seven, eight stop loss. My rule was three losing trades to stop is exactly what we did here >> in the starting of the session. I give more room. I have four or five because usually you have consolidation and then expansion. >>
Mhm. >> This is exactly what uh what I noticed to be the best approach to survive in this market and also study your market. This is NASDAQ. Study your market. If you trade ducks, the model is completely different. You will trade in the morning. >> So to reply to your question, no, I've not always been patient. I've been really an ADHD guy wanted to to execute there. >> But you understand that you don't make more money by being more active. You make more money by selecting better your trades. >> This is the the best lesson
that you can get in terms of your speed. Have you always been able to operate at speed when it came to execution and management or is that something you had to develop and refine as well? Let's say that you need you need to be really good not only at moving orders but in decisional process like I noticed that trading is really connected to your life. If you are an overinker sculping is not for you because you need to take a decision fast and you need to take full responsibility for the decision that you are taking.
Absorb on value area low they are trying again to auction high. >> Yeah. So you need to take full responsibility for what you are doing and you cannot overthink. >> Yeah. >> I have one friend of mine, I try to teach him for free. He spend one week with me. He's a person that thinks, you know, this kind of guy thinks over and over and over again. >> Yeah. >> In the moment that he was thinking about executing a trade, the trade was already take profits. Like sculping it's not for everyone. I want always to
be clear on this. It's it requires certain trait of behavior of the person that you cannot learn. >> It's not something that you can learn. You you need to be to be prone to have this kind of uh of trading approach and something that unfortunately >> you cannot learn. Not always you can learn. You can be the best at uh learning the fundamentals, the technicals, but if you're the way you are is totally opposite to this, you will only try to fit yourself in a box that is not for you. Maybe you are an amazing
swing trader if you are an overthinker. Yeah, >> maybe you are the best option trader because you are you have a rational mind, statistical mind, but it's it's not for you this kind of approach. >> Mh. And um you can of course work but why working to filter in a model that is running against you you know and if you are fast in taking in taking decision in in life if you are changing idea fast and are really low ego and willing to take a stop loss because you are wrong and immediately jump on the
train. >> Yeah. >> You can be an amazing trader that follow model like this. >> Yeah. And what was your process like of learning order flow? >> Learning order flow arrived only six years after I was trading because I was trying to get to understand why a pattern works. I will give you an example. If we have a daily high or a daily low, >> I noticed that when they spike down or spike up, you have a movement. So now it opens a lot of conspiracy theory. They are hunting. they are they are ready to
take they want to liquidate. >> So I started to study what happens in intraarket structure. So you need to go down you need to understand you need to study interaction of the order and I understood that simply what's happening is that the aggression of the sellers is not as strong as the passive orders and you see absorption. You see absorption you see absorption and you see absorption. Okay, that is what is happening here is not that they want to take your stop- loss here just they are trying to push down but passive orders are holding.
>> Yeah, >> by understanding this my whole understanding of the market did a level up because I was not guessing will it be a stop run, will it be a failuction, will it be this, will it be that now I understand exactly what's happening. If you for me it was I can compare this to the switch of driving a car. Okay. If you drive with price action you are watching you are trying to drive watching the weights or Google maps. Okay. But you don't see the street. You just know that you need to go from
here to here because the structure is like this. >> When you start to see car you can see obstacles. You can see that you are stationary because there is traffic. Why we are not going? There is traffic. There is orders. Okay. So this this was a big level up for me is was an understanding of the market that I never had before and this is the reason I'm sharing so many contacts for free because I really want to give back to the industry something that is not conspiracy but something that is really how the market
really moves like there is an exchange there is an aggregation of the order you can this is actual execution people pressing buy or sell is not an indicator that is giving you a MACD cross. >> Yeah. So this is this is what changed my life, what changed my perception and uh I'm really enthusiastic to to share with the world this approach that can help everyone. You don't need to change your trading model. Mhm. >> You you can implement in all the operational you can see here again >> same thing >> same thing buyers trying to
gras they did the liquidation of the eye now they are going down now just they try to press and you can see from the total orders they are pushing up breaking no breaking no why not enough aggression there are passive orders getting this liquidity that are creating a range but it's normal if you think about this like the elastic look how many orders they loaded >> yeah Now they are resting, they are breathing, they are understanding what they want to do next. And then you will see either aggression and we go to rebalance and we
have aa for power hour or they are just saying look we want to reaccumulate here because we are pushing we go up. >> Yeah. Now for you watching real time order flow is giving you a better understanding of what's happening behind the curtain. No, definitely. I remember it changed my perspective the last time we sat down because it really opened my eyes to how detailed of an understanding you can have regardless of the even trading it or not. Just being able to understand why the market is reacting here, what's happening. Cuz even here, even where
we've taken these stop losses, >> none of those stop losses meant, oh, we're wrong. >> It's understanding that, okay, here's an opportunity >> that can generate a good risk-to-reward idea. >> Exactly. backed by understanding what's happening behind these candles and these movements because there'll be people who have none of this information just the candlesticks. >> Yeah. They seem >> and they'll still be executing. Yeah. >> They'll be going okay look below this low stop loss or wherever it may be >> and yet in this understanding we are able to scale back and take a step
back and say okay three times now the auction has failed to do anything. The buyers and sellers have failed to take over or any control. So we stop and wait and watch and we still off the back of that have an aaa area below. Uh timing might be a factor that might not come into our uh you know advantage but we now still have that and we also have the you know if the auction was to break the high then maybe there's something but at least we understand okay now the time is done and this
all comes after the fact that we had a AAA sell. >> Yeah and profitable. You know why it's convenient? Because you know always also when to stay calm >> like when you see orders not having a reaction it means that the liquidity wall is getting so thick. >> It's like if you are punching a wall on the upside and on the downside. This is what is happening. When you are here you don't know but after 20 minutes that you are here you know that you don't want to engage. And this is the condition that is
cing creating the best squeeze. >> Mhm. >> Because this can be also a pre-market condition and is giving you momentum trades or AAA. >> Yeah. >> And what's the reality in terms of obviously both of our sessions have gone very very well >> in terms of the market movements, the predictions today in particular live trading um you know with good size and making a good P&L for the day. >> You know what does it look like on a like this week's been really good for you. >> Yes. But what does it look like on average
you know the average performance over let's say this year >> are you having losing days are you having you know that sort of you know >> you are having uh losing days 100%. But what I'm really good is at cutting the losing days as I was saying to you like I have statistics on everything like I people journal in the weekend. No, people go to dance in the weekend. What I do in the weekend that is very boring. I go through my metrics and try to understand what I can improve. Okay. I noticed that the
days that start with three or four or five stop-loss end up with a losing of 20,000 15,000. I start to cut them at 8 9,000. Okay. So, of course, I have losing days. It's really difficult for me to have losing months. The last losing months that I have I had was March 2024. And if you go to see it was >> like >> lack of volatility. >> I'm a trend follower. It's killing me. >> So, of course, I have losing months. Uh I work with big capital. Yeah. So I don't try to get huge percentage
like 200 300%. Usually what I do you can have a good frame by dividing the performance of the world cup by five or six. >> Okay. >> Okay. So if in the world cup I did 500% usually in my trading account this year I did 100%. Gotcha. >> I did 80% I did 70%. the still for a private hedge fund because I'm working with my personal capital of multiple millions. an amazing performance of course >> but for a retail trader it's not enough like it was crazy because when I talk about performance they start to
say 60 70% per year >> is not worth it why because I trade with 1,000 it will be $600 it will not even be to pay the bills scale capital like they try to scale performance without understanding that >> the real focus point is how much capital can you manage and also It's really important to understand because I received one question why you don't open your own hedge fund or why you don't go to work with this position in an hedge fund. The reply is only one capacity of the strategy. What does it mean? >>
How many millions I can manage? Yeah. >> Without getting too much slippage >> or having a feeling point that is not so good to the point that is worthless for me to execute. >> Takes away the edge. the capacity of the strategy sculping the NASDAQ. Yes, I can diversify with as it's around 25 to 40 millions. >> For a hedge fun 25 to 40 millions, it's peanuts. They work with billions. They work with hundreds of millions. So, this is a model that I love that can be amazing for me and it's a model that is
purely relying on order flow and market interaction. And the reason I'm sharing this with you is because even if you study, okay, you will not take my brain out of me. The market understanding, we are never going to have the same execution point because the mental process and the neural network that you have in your brain is getting deeper in understanding. But there is discretionary. We are taking discretionary decision. What does it mean? We have a model but we put on leverage our understanding of the model of the market. That's the difference between with between
quant. if my strategy was quant so I always have the same execution pattern I I couldn't share with the world because in this case my edge will go to zero >> of course >> okay >> and uh this is uh this is the reason also now there is still a trick to execute this model on multiple hundreds of millions by understanding that NASDAQ and S&P 500 have 95% correlation S&P 500 is a lot more liquid than NASDAQ. I can split my execution and I can work with more capital. Of course, this is possible. Okay, but
uh it's important to understand the capacity of the strategy specifically if you are a scalper and where is your limit. My limit is scalability. This is the reason I'm studying with Andrea uh option models because they can give you statistical and mathematical consistent return with um scaling with a lot more liquidity. Okay. Like I know that if I want to trade 1 million uh account with this strategy, it will not be possible. So by making 15,000 I cannot make 1.5 million per day because >> imagine we are loading already 10 contracts. Okay. To make 1.5
million per day, we need to expose 100 times more. So here I will need to execute 1,000 contract. 1,000 contract I will bring the market here. So I'm already losing my edge. >> Yeah. >> So this is this is something really important to to understand. >> What what was your sort of starting capital like? My starting capital in 201 12 or 14 was made by crypto. Like I always say to my audience that I make a big portion of my wealth understanding market cycles early with onchain analysis. >> So I jump really early on the
train of crypto and I understood because this model I also trade on crypto. You can imagine with leverage what you can do with crypto like I managed to take one single bull run on leverage completely on futures. You can imagine the return this build the first capital that I had and I can say that I never hold the dollar. So I only use I have an account for only daily expenses but mainly my capital with this deep understanding it's always either in trading model either in long-term options either in crypto my portfolio so even if
you understand with 5 10 15 20,000 if you manage risk properly and you have two income freelancer income because I did to get the starting capital I did a lot of work yeah okay I was doing serv server monitoring in the night database from midnight in the night to 8:00 in the morning and with 4 hours of sleep during the day I was starting to trade. So it was really stressful and with this capital I understood how to allocate and how to diversify. You have income from trading, you have freelancer income and you have your
cash deposit that is bringing constant because you understand the halving cycles of crypto. So you have three forces pushing in your direction and you know that every dollar that you put in today will be $10 in five to 10 years. This is creating an exponential curve and is what is giving me today the possibility to trade with multiple millions account personal and uh it's giving me today more than 50 60% of my income coming from trading and other than this I run business. So I have uh a SAS at the moment where I'm putting all
the effort that is an orderflow platform not yet started but I already know that it will be good because it's built by the best traders on the world. So we are gathering all the best traders and saying what do you think about this? I want to give a shout out to Carmen Rosato. I enter in the call with him and I say look how will you make this better? Okay. So when you create something by people that actually make a lot of money trading, it cannot be bad because you will ask them what they need.
Okay? >> Other than this, previously I was doing education. Now I stopped doing education and giving everything for free because education it's a lot of effort and at the moment it's way more profitable for me only focusing on trading >> and what I plan in the future is to focus on hedge fund advisory. So to to be a market strategist and provide models for hedge fund because this is what I love. I love to create models either quantitative, either discretionary, either statistic statistical model and uh solving the cubic cube uh the Rubic cube that is
the market is so is always something that gives you a thrill and excitement because you are fighting against PhD hedge fund like so if you can understand it's not only how much money you can make but the ability of brain stimulation that it gives to you >> and it's something that Never stop. You cannot use the same model for pers. I always try to refine. Yeah. For example, you see I make it all because I can see better candles. So I can see the interaction. It's constantly developing also because the market is constantly developing. So
I know clearly that you cannot put a static model on a dynamic market. >> Yes, >> it's impossible. Even if we took >> still back in >> even if we took a short or if we took along with really large stop loss >> liquid >> still get liquidated. Yeah. >> So there there are situation where you don't want to engage. Now volume can help you a lot because you see that you are still in the range with volume. So price sometimes goes on its own you know spike but then you need to validate with volume
because it's the merge of volume and price that is giving you an actual edge. in terms of when you plot on your volume profile like what where are your start and end points how do you justify or determine that >> this is a really smart question so what I make I have two ways of plotting >> either I do it in compression range if I want to play the ping pong between the area but the best way to do it for momentum trades is from the expansion movement okay so you can see contraction contraction contraction
contraction expansion Yeah. >> So what I do is I plot from point A to point B till the actual price action. What I was trying to explain to you is that we have a P shape. >> Yeah. >> Because all the volume are concentrated on the top. Okay. >> Mhm. >> This market environment cannot go on forever. Okay. So usually what you do is you go to the value area low. Okay. It will be amazing if they also test here. And then you have an expansion higher. This is the trend following model the AAA. Okay.
So all the volume it's here. They are reloading from here. This is the level of the value area low. >> And you always need to understand that you cannot take every swing point. But you need to get the first directional move of the session. >> Yeah. >> If this was premarket, this is New York session opening. Okay. The game plan is done. And then also there is a really good model that is called orb model. I don't know if you ever heard range breakout. Okay, this is a model that if you put in a context
is really strong because the model is saying look that this low is not getting touched 80% of the time. >> Yeah, >> this is strong because it's saying to us look that you are going to reaccumulate from here and what you have this is the last protection point of the sellers. Look at the delta of the buyers. Complete control. When we went down, who was controlling price here? Sellers. Okay, now that it's buyers, you see that aggressive sellers on the bottom already bouncing back. We didn't even reach, but you see that sellers have a hard
time now going down. Okay. So, you can try to take in this range a setup that shoot for the 25,163. Okay. In this case why even if I was alone I will stop because we reached 24,000 okay we went to 15,000 how much is it is on the trailing profit of the day 10,000 9,000 or down okay I don't engage why because the market condition now it's getting hard to trade yeah okay so in case where you really have a triple aggressive seller you can still trade you are you are trading 200 in the worst
case you are still profitable not not only for the London but also for the New York. Okay. >> But usually the statistics never lie and you need to understand how to manage your emotion otherwise as a sculper you will see opportunity everywhere. >> Mhm. Like if you if you don't understand how to qualify and free them, you will see opportunities everywhere here. >> In terms of a statistical analysis, like where did that sort of passion to study that come from and how helpful has it been for your trading? >> When you understand that this number
is directly correlated with how much statistical test you run. For example, um when you want to take profit, >> you need to understand the strike point of the take profit. Okay, if the VWAP high is here and I try to shoot for here, I know that nine times out of 10 it will reject the VWAP. Okay, >> I run extensive statistical test on this and it came from the necessity to boost them we rate because boosting from 30 to 40 to 45 like I have now percent we rate it seems like a small number but
15% we rate more with this risk-to-reward it's a lot risk >> it's a lot I have also a trading model on another account one to one risk-to-reward 75%. like the equity line is like this because it's consistent >> but I know exactly when not to trade the the model that I was saying to you only trades here. >> Yeah. >> So I switch you know when I cannot trade this model I switch to the consolidation model like here I would have made a lot of money with that model. >> All this test >> you cannot
base on personal perception. You need to to have a backing of numbers. Yeah. So what I usually do I export all the data I put in Python. Python have machine learning neural network all the infrastructure to make huge test. You can know everything about your trading history and I I'm not in a position to take decision based on this. I go to Luca one guy that helped me on this. Shout out to and he say look Fabio it's not worth to take trades for example after 7 Italian time European time. Why? >> So he goes
down the data point. your W rate is low like you have 20% W rate so remove this perfect on Friday you always lose money like uh in four weeks of the month three Friday you lose remove Friday I have one day of vacation per day all these kind of test I know for certain that a lot of people don't do >> of course yeah >> okay so it's giving you an edge for example >> before I had a model on crude oil the model was amazing but on Wednesday was giving back all the profit that
he made because Wednesday the volatility on crude oil you can check on this gets crazy and this was a compression model we removed Wednesday the model was profit factor 2.1 >> it was completely completely consistent what in what you do so people underestimate the power of data >> so journaling tracking the data uh always understanding what's your metrics either you do directly in the platform either you do in the journal like you can use the one of whom are you? You can use everything. Okay. But if you don't have data, you don't have a way
to improve. If you don't have a way to improve, it's impossible. >> Would you say that also what's super important is to not only dissect the data. So I just had uh someone on the podcast actually who was a systematic trader. >> Okay. >> Right. So he will take the data. So you know from the CFD space you hear back test. Yes. Everyone always thinks a bar replay, right? You just go back in time, press play, and then you know try and do the whole risk reward as if it's live. >> Well, he was saying
how in systematic trading back testing is essentially taking all of the data. You have to do a bit of coding. So you can use AI to do the coding, etc. >> And you there's he uses a program called a polygon he said. >> And essentially it will then spit out based on the parameters he's asked for. So let's say if he said price when it's over VWAP or when it's already extended he does micro cap stocks. >> Yes. >> Um small cap sorry. >> So he'll be like okay price has done 100% gap and it's
uh faded and the volume's reducing stuff like this. And then he'll put the input that into polygon. It will give him the statistics. >> Amazing. >> You know on 9 years worth of data, four years worth of data. Yes. >> And then he now has rules around his trading. So the trading is if a or you know if ABC execute manage and so on. So all the decisions are based off systematic which was interesting though because he goes it has obviously its pros but then it had you know by sticking systematic he had a you
know a good few years of a of a rough time and he had to >> overfeitting a little bit. >> Yeah. And then he had to introduce some discretion and some of the intuition. This is important because also Jim Simmons was saying that completely systematic edge have a lot of edge decay. What does it mean that they the system breaks so fast? >> My strong point on this is that I do analysis, I trade. I know that the model is adapt to every market condition. So if I'm not trend following, I don't trade. Okay. I
put the power of machine learning on my data that is discretionary. I have the best of both worlds. Yeah. So this is the reason I I had also a portfolio of system then I start notice every month now the system four system broke out of 20 replace them replace them replace them I saw the profit factor I compare with mine and say it's not worth to trade quant for me of course if you are sittel the market making it's worth of course. So how many different portfolios or sort of trading accounts and and systems do
you have? I have a lot because I diversify them by edge. For example, this one is hyper scalping. Okay. If I want to do intraday trading, I use another portfolio because I need to track independent data otherwise I cannot do all the research. Option model it's on another broker. It's Charles Schwab also. Andrea Charles Schwab, we have separate account for everything we need to do. Crypto I don't want to publish any crypto exchange or brokerage but I do on another field holding ledger like >> I separate like if it's a different business model no >>
like I don't want the data from deep charts to merge with the data of workass edge >> of course >> because I don't have clear margin I don't have clear execution like people that trade everything in one account for me it's it's unefficient okay >> so I I have separate account. I have the option account. I have the futures order flow crypto scalping. I have the long-term investment. I have the stock picking account. I have like I love to create models. Okay. I have the NASDAQ scalping. I have the NASDAQ intraday and I diversify capital.
>> Okay. Uh this is 15,000 only on this model. >> Yeah. >> Okay. The option model is making 8,000. The crypto scalping with the runup is making another 9,000. This is compounding. Mhm. >> The only thing that I I don't accept is to put a model that is not beating the sharp ratio or compare with the sharp ratio of the other because if you put a distribution and if you see that you have six models with an amazing sharp ratio and profit factor and you say let's put another model just to diversify but the sharp
ratio is here it's not worth for me. So I have like a gaus distribution of the edge with all the edge that I put in the market >> and I optimize and always monitor them. If a model is not profitable anymore I remove and all the other one recover the loss that the model did. It's it's an amazing ecosystem you know but still the most profitable one is NASDAQ. There is nothing comparable to order flow scalping for me also on crypto is extremely profitable but nothing algorithmic of option comes close to this. >> Okay. So
when it comes to the crypto is that uh when you say that's profitable is that the long-term investing or is that even the do you do like the futures trading? >> Imagine like imagine like this I use the futures order for scalping crypto as income. >> Mhm. I use this income to funnel in my long-term account. >> The long-term account does only arbitrage. >> Yeah. >> And investment. Okay. Arbitrage is getting profit for small inefficiency. Okay. It's quant >> and is making not a huge amount of money. It's making 20 to 30% but market neutral.
And then on top of that I have a complete understanding of presidential cycles, albein cycles, intermarket correlation to know exactly when to allocate capital. Like if I expect that ripple will >> uh overperform Bitcoin in the short term like what I did I put 40% of the portfolio in Ripple. It went to $1.2 to 3.5. I liquidated put it back in Bitcoin. You know this is the the stuff that I do. I'm always active on this and it's purely based on data. I analyze uh onchain data. On top of that, all the profit that I
made with crypto sculping, orderflow goes back in these accounts. So, they grow long term. The pro the daily profit that I withdraw monthly is funneling here. So, I have one ecosystem, crypto ecosystem. >> Then I have the orderflow ecosystem, NASDAQ intraday model, NASDAQ scalping model and options. Okay. Because options can be also intraday. They can be zero DT. >> Yeah. >> And now we are building all kind of model with Andrea that they are crazy model. There are models that can yield 80%. Okay. Per year. It's huge. Of course, the problem is still liquidity. You
can do with 5 10 million. You cannot do with 100. Then you have the long-term investing. So like stock picking. So what I do in stock I'm giving a lot of edge guys. Uh so on stock picking what I do I build um on my own rules that can predict which stock is going to overperform the market. Now everyone will say no it's impossible. So it's possible. Okay. What I do is that I exploit one inefficiency of the market. What is this inefficiency? Congressmen of US >> they have information. This information is not getting punished
because they are allowed to do insider trading. So if they are allowed to do insider trading, >> I'm allowed to use their trades as information because it's completely legal. It's public available information. Not public you need data sources, but you can work your way through on this. I put my earnings model. So now what I'm doing, I'm getting the trades of the most powerful people on the planet, but I'm timing better than them using earnings model on intraday gap. >> It's going crazy amazing. like the the track record uh on the brokerage it's now we
have also to say that S&P 500 and stocks are expanding but still I run extensive test is profitable also in um rough times where the stock market goes down because you go on the defensive you go on like it's I love to do it this is the the most funny models that I have because you need also to understand why they are buying so maybe you see the politician that buys I will not make name the politician that buys is three millions with private account or one pharmaceutical company. After two months they approve the stage
four of the company. So you see like 200 300%. >> This is something that from my side is not ethical that they can do this because they have a role in approval of this stuff. But not using this kind of information is unethical for my side. Why? because these are public information. So if you are a trader, your role is to get always the most informed player of the market. If I ignore this data, I will stay behind all the people that use this data. >> Yeah, >> this is my stock model. It's a little
bit complicated. There are four model running at the same time, >> but it's it's profitable. >> How do you manage all these things then? How do you track and manage all these different portfolio? like the stock model is so easy because I go through it on Sundays. Okay. So I prepare and do everything on this on one day of the week. It takes one hour, two hours because already the AI is doing a huge work on this aggregating data. I have my own platform that I built through the years that is making all these analysis.
uh the option model Andrea and the Rico that is one of my mentor built structure that you can do with 10 uh 10 minutes per day. Yeah. >> Only in the evening only in um I was saying something that I cannot say only in certain time of the day only certain time of the day and they have a huge profit factor and uh is not getting your time is not getting too much of your time. Yeah. Okay. So the models that take the most of my time is NASDAQ scalping, but it's also the most profitable
one. So also in time allocation, you need to understand. Okay. >> And in the weekend when I'm bored on Saturday, I do crypto order flow because we need to work like we need to >> we reach the level. >> Yeah, we were watching in the background. I say should we do like a recap of what's happened here? So what happened here is that from the level of absorption that we were watching they contracted back to the level that we were waiting that is the triple a setup based on absorption from here it's a little bit
early but in 2 hours you can expect that from here they recumulate and go up okay >> and we will check how it goes >> but it's you see already they are really struggling I don't know if it's visible but they are really struggling to go down >> it's the first time where they reach one level >> and why They are struggling because this level is packed with aggressive buyers. >> Yes. >> Okay. Now they will start the they will touch the closing of the structure and this is where you can expect a lot of
aggressive sellers interacting. >> Yeah. >> And buyers trying to protect. Okay. So here you want to see >> buyers stepping in to protect. If you don't see it done for the day and it's not done. You see for example here I will never execute. They are controlling aggressive aggressive aggressive aggressive. This is like the momentum by that we took. >> Buyers are trying from here to stop the movement. Now if you get a complete absorption of the movement, you can try like you were saying the expansion up. Got you you can uh you can try
this trade. But the problem is that you have a really big stop loss. So maybe you can cover here. I will I will not execute it. I will only put the marker. >> Yeah. to show like if you put 10 contract here. Okay. At the break of this high. Okay. So at the break of this high this trap buyers Mhm. >> you can execute. You have 10 contract for a 2,500 is too much. We need to lower the size. We need to go on eight eight contracts. So now you're risking exactly 2,000. Okay. If you
break this level, you have this play. You can cover also below here by putting lower size. But already you cannot execute. You see control of the sellers again buyers. So the triple A setup didn't present themselves today. Anyway, >> getting back to that question from way earlier. If you held your trade >> like imagine >> a pain >> imagine we arrive here. >> So we closed here and then build another position. Now all the profit that we took it's almost zero. >> Yeah. So we go back to the question like is it worth it if
you have a really high rate? But honestly I do a lot of talent scouting like if I see someone that is profitable I always took the time to jump in a call with him and understand his edge because maybe in its capital maybe in its direction but I've never seen I've never seen an edge that is adding at the same time a lot of we rate and a lot of riskreward. One needs to be sacrificed. Yeah. And I mean not in one month but I mean on 12 months. Okay. >> So you cannot have 1
to 20 risk to reward with 75% if you have call me because you are soon billionaire. You are soon billionaire. >> But you need to to choose what you want. Okay. From my side I prefer a balance. >> Mhm. >> Good win rate good riskto-reward. In this case we would have close probably also in loss because with this then it cut all the profit of the previous one. >> Exactly. you are uh like we were we were attacking now the profit of London session >> it's really bad it's better to >> take profit >> and
again just to really reiterate and get that point home that's why I asked the question to really see the reality Fabio if we weren't here in the studio trying to make this video and to showcase live trading you would have been done after that first trade >> right or the first setup trade that first movement >> the the directional one that was 1 to8. Yeah, >> the momentum one we closed 25,000 for the day is done. But I'm really happy that we took this trade >> because the audience can now understand and frame which kind
of condition is not yielding a profit for the strategy. >> So contraction >> that's the reason we only trade here and here. Exactly. >> Okay. Yeah. >> So, it's uh I think with the previous one, this episode and the ones that are going in my channel, they have a master class that outside will cost at least $10,000 that is totally free. >> Mhm. >> You can study, you can try with press because this model, the good part is that they work also on price action. Like if you know what is an expansion phase and contraction,
you can for example wait for the recovery of the top and get the expansion higher. You are not for, this is what I want to enforce, you are not forced to use volume. I use volume because it helps me to understand. But for example, for forex, it's useless because volume is so fragmented in 1,000 OTC sources. If you trade Euro dollar, British pound, it's better intermarket analysis. Yeah, >> you watch Euro dollar, you understand the pressure of British pound, you understand the dollar and you have a context of accumulation phase, distribution phase, you see maybe
they spike a hello, they failed, what does it mean? There is an absorption you can understand by price this stuff. Okay, but volume on indices and on commodities, >> it's amazing. And one thing I was going to ask actually in terms of handling all these different portfolios, you're trading obviously weekdays, NASDAQ, hypers scalping, your Saturday sometimes when you're bored trading crypto, you got the portfolios, etc. >> What's the reality for you in terms of your, you know, outside of when we see you in the studio, outside of your trading windows, like how are you operating?
Do you have to set up your whole life to facilitate peak performance? This is something that I was hoping that you would ask guys. There is no coconut uh with straw on the beach. Uh I I moved to Palm View at the moment. I have one of the best view. I've never been to the beach. We have a private beach. I've never been to the beach. Why? Because this kind of lifestyle is sacrificing. I'm not only saying, "Okay, you have money. You cannot." No, because now I go home. I need to prepare. I have lives.
saying to prepare the long-term setup. It's a it's a lifestyle. It's like a bodybuilder. Okay? They build their life around their work. I built my life around my work. I have something that I cannot sacrifice. I cannot go out drinking, drifting with Ferrari and the day later I wake up at 10 because I have stuff to do in the morning. And the only way to manage this life is being completely with obsessive compulsive disorder disorder on organizing stuff. Everything needs to be a clock. Okay? Because if you stop >> organizing this way, confusion will overcome
you because you are managing multiple models, multiple company, you are at the same time trying to have a little bit of private life because your family wants to see you. Something like this. So, it's um it's draining and this is the reason I want to go on long-term low commitment model options because my capital is getting really high at the moment. For a retail, it's it's really high and I I know that I can already retire like I'm 30 years old. I can retire the next 5 to 10 with an amazing life without staying all
the afternoon in the chart. It's what I love, but it's draining doing this every day. It's really stressful, specifically scalping. And uh I know that I will never stop at least to to watch because I love the market. I love the market. >> But um like it's not the life that people expect. Okay? They expect you make your first one, two, three million, you walk away and you only enjoy life. If you do this, inflation will up all the money that you have made and your life will be like this only for one or two
years and then you will go back to the rat race. >> Yeah. And uh it's a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle that I love. It's not heavy for me. Working is something that empowers me and make me feel productive and it's not heavy for me at all. It would have been to break even now. >> Exactly. Yeah. >> So we we would have lost all the profit uh for the day. So this is an amazing lesson on how to manage also your position. This is an amazing lesson. It was incredible honestly to see the speed and
I think you did a phenomenal job of explaining what you were doing as you were doing it because I remember the you know uh when we had discussed on the the last child fanatics we said that this isn't live trading because >> you know live trading I need to be logged in. So I was actually expecting me to kind of narrate or whilst you're trading and then when there was an opportunity to pause then talk about it but you managed to to do both. If we didn't had to explain everything that I was doing here
with this position, I would have loaded another 10. >> So, we could have made 40,000 on the way up. But doing this in is that you load two contract at every breakout. It's impossible to do this. Manage the stop loss at the same time explaining what you do. But there are more aggressive way of management that on this movement could have made a $40,000 day and also on the momentum. But it's just impossible to trade, explain, watch the camera like it's it's not doable. But I hope that they understood my model and they understood >>
how how it is that I work every day. >> Definitely. And the one interesting thing actually just to frame as well before coming here today when Fabio we were planning to just do a normal podcast and Fabio mentioned why don't we do this? Why don't we trade this session? I know and we love it as well. >> But he did say like look at the end of the day I'll trade live capital. I'll trade my fun personal account and I will win or lose. I don't we'll just do it. You know, even if I lose
on the day, we'll still put it out. >> Uh if I win on the day, we'll put it out. And I was happy as well, even though we, you know, for the recording still continued to trade and we took some losses there. >> I'm happy that we kept that in there. I'm happy that we did that. And that's why I asked you that question like, how do you feel after taking those losses? Because in my head, I'm like, oh no, we've taken losses. We need to win. But that's me. >> Oh, right. I don't know.
It's it's like in my head I came here saying to Andrea, I hope that we will have a draw down session. Why? Because you can teach 10 times more stuff if you have a rough session. This is the reason on my channel is coming the worst session of the month. Okay? If everything was good, you don't have to explain. But getting a reason why we stop executing trades when this move happened. Okay? and seeing that when this move happened exactly was the top of the day is letting them understand that you know when is the
moment to to stop okay you are not like we are still in profit 15,000 if we risk on this way down after the break the short from here that I was sure was coming here okay >> on this one I will zoom >> from this movement aggressive sellers stop we could we could make this movement risk 5,000 of the 15,000 close at 30 40,000 but still I will do something for ego I will not do something because it's my model. >> So what I show you is the raw reality of trading. I took profit and
I took stop-loss. This is the real Fabio. This is the real trading. There is no sugar coating. There is no let's do five session and load the best one. No, >> we we don't we don't do this stuff and I think they h ah anyway we have a London session of yesterday that was amazing that we will share with chart fanatic and was something like this but done in London >> without needing to explain because I can comment later so managing super fast and I made like 10,000 risking 1,500 >> incredible >> so was was
really an amazing one >> absolutely incredible do you know in terms of uh the reality Now, do you ever have times where you break your rules or go until or revenge trade or go outside of your system? >> It's really difficult because I know the price the price of breaking the rules like uh in my setup in uh >> Mhm. >> in uh in my trading station at home. There is um there is one quote that is either you respect the rules, either you pay the price. And I have a screenshot of the statistical model
on Python of how much I lose when I break the rules. Okay? So it's always there with me. And when you see me, we are live. We can risk 15,000 close the day 100,000 six figures in one day every no because I know that if today I give back this 15,000, tomorrow if I lose 10,000 in session, I will I will be in loss. I will not have the the amazing week. Like in the week we are 60,000 in profit in three days. We still have two days to go. It qualify to be a six
figures week. Why I need to break the rules for ego to show it's not worth it. At home I don't do it. There is only one time that I did was last year because I had a really difficult situation at home. Uh I received a really bad news and I was not with mental clarity to to manage. I took full responsibility for what I did. I get back on track and in one week I recover everything. >> But uh this loss is screenshot and it's on my desk uh to remind me what happens when I
go go far from the rules. Because if you have an edge but you don't respect it, what's the reason of doing all this work to build? Because building an edge is the stuff. It's not trading guys. Building an edge or building the experience to have an edge is the real work. Yes. So why not respecting rules if you have this then you can also put some rule to yourself. Okay. So for example what we want to put in the platform is to not be able to trade when you get a trailing draw down for the
day. Like if you're profitable 40,000 you get minus 5 or 10 the platform block you need to call the support and say unlock my account because I want to trade. This is something that is a mechanical stop to the that you can do. Okay. But when you are professional, you don't need stuff like this. You just need to have an a conversation with yourself and say, "Look, for ego, I'm burning a $60,000 profit week for for what? To to be able to be right on the movement. Who cares?" >> Mhm. >> Like people on YouTube,
I understood something that is really funny. Like one guy texted me and says if you really want to give back to the community you will sell a course. Say look if you sell a course you are a course seller. If you only trade you only trade you don't care about the what are people what a person need to do like and giving everything for free study you don't need to pay anything. So I understood that >> you will never be able to make everyone happy in life. Okay. You will always have haters. You will always
have. So the only thing you can do is stick to your plan. If they like the plan, they see the the reality of what trading is, of course, they will be in the oh but I trade stop run liquidation one to 100 you are not able to trade take the critics and go on but don't trade for eco because is what is burning your account or don't trade to demonstrate someone else that you are worth it because this is what really destroy oh they are also breaking the law they are >> this is what I
like here is that the order flow is keeping you out of the setup like a price action cont maybe would have put the limit. >> Yeah. >> And inside here you see >> higher high higher low. We're trying to enter >> super aggressive buyers absorbed. No orderful trader will consider this. You can consider the short to the value area low and also this one would have been an amazing trade. >> Mhm. >> Okay. So it's possible if we trade all the session with capital to close 50 60 70 >> just not worth it because the
risk is that here you get another consolidation like this and you are done. So even when you you set your life up to operate and be efficient, right? You make those sacrifices. Let's say there's a day where you've had a you know you're ill, right? Or you've had a a bad night's sleep or maybe something's happened. >> I don't trade. It's not a problem. >> Yeah. like I just walk away I don't trade because also on this I have metrics like when you trade and you are not in a sharp remember that my edge is
discretional okay so if you are not sharp you are tired you didn't sleep good at night >> you are putting your capital at risk yeah >> like the lack of focus can burn $20,000 $30,000 like when you work with a big account you are paying big money for errors >> so just uh it's not I walk away. Look at it's the the law of large number is giving me an edge over 100. Like this week was 120 execution. Okay. Over the year I make 5,000 execution. >> If I lose three or four trades, nothing has
changed. The performance will be there. Maybe I'm lucky and I lose the bad the bad day. and I so you know it's just uh you have to consider that >> allocate time allocation wise if you are sick it's always better to not be at the market always better to not be at the market because the edge it's you >> if you were a quant you make your system run >> so it's not a it's not a problem and what do you do then actually for downtime you know a lot of people >> you know they
they'll do the drinking they'll do the partying they'll do you know things like go on till the late night. I love I love to create stuff like for example recently I'm spending 30 minutes every evening evening researching information and data and aggregating them with alternative data sources to understand if I can have an edge informationational edge okay creating this I I know I'm a nerd on this but I I love to do it like I really love to I really enjoy if they say look today you cannot earn money with this okay you only will
live out of business and other stuff I will still be here every because I like to for me it's like chess. People play chess not to be paid but because it's stimulating their brain. >> Yeah. >> For me financial markets is the big chess board on the planet. You don't have one opponent, you have the word against you but it's it's so funny and stimulating for me. And uh of course in my free time I like to go with other traders and friend that they are stressed to spa to ba Russian ba and stuff like
this. But um I always have a way to keep myself occupied and I'm not a party guy. Like I don't like to >> to go to do shopping, to go to do partying. It's not for me. I've never done this before I had money and I never done this now that I have money. It's just not fun for me. Okay. So >> that's what I do. I prefer to spend some time with friends and uh something chill in the free time. But my free time is really low to be honest places. There is not a
lot of free time. But also with people see when people see that the perception that they have of financially free is really different from the truth because be financially independent and rich without working like it's really hard if you start from zero like if your father is not leaving you real estate worth 50 million or 100 million. It's really difficult. You always need al also if you delegate your business a little bit of interaction daily calls weekly check it's necessary to run the business. So getting a a different perspective of what trading is a professional
one and how much sacrifice you need to make to make this really your profession. And I think it's something that the industry really needs at the moment because we we saw I I don't like to make names and I will stay on my own here because I already received enough threat threatening. But a lot of people open white label accounts. >> They forge track records and they make money with everything except from trading. Okay? They make money with the surrounding of trading but not from the market. Okay? The real skill is able to making money
by understanding and predicting what the market will do next and adapting. And finding a real traders that is also willing to do this publicly or willing to share with you in real time is something that I've never found when I was trying to learn the profession. Okay. If you if you want to study for example medicine, you go to a real doctor and you have a university. But if you want to be a real traders out there, you you find a lot of fake gurus. M. So it's you also don't have expect you don't know
which expectation to set. If people continue to sell get rich with $1,000, people will believe this is possible. >> Yeah. >> So the problem is not the expectation of the people, but it's also the communication of the industry. >> That's very true. And >> in terms of your personal journey, you mentioned earlier having a mentor. >> Um like what did that look like for you in terms of trading education? Did you do a lot of self-eing? Was there mentors that helped you? Like what did that look like for you and how did you pick your
mentors? >> I took a mentor in the moment that I was already making a lot of money and I was I wanted to scale with edge with one person that was managing a family office of a lot of money. I cannot say the amount but was okay. So I took a mentor because I want to >> be able to diversify from the model that I have and get models that run without me. So I took a mentor on different market of op on options but on order flow I never had a mentor because what I
did is spending weeks watching price and understanding in my brain what I can expect after I see every move. Okay, it's pattern recognition. The difference is just that people do with this with candles. I do this with deeper information inside candles. But I think if you put if you put someone and you say look watch this for one month >> don't execute sooner or later they will we start to see that certain pattern of order for an edge now you have a model >> start to execute on a demo plot this in a statistical distribution
now you are a trader >> yeah okay >> you can't avoid the work right that most people try >> that is the reason I don't sell a course because I can give you the best knowledge I I I want I can give you the best but if you don't put the effort it's like people signing up for gym never going expecting to lose weight by not going like you cannot pay for something and get transfer we are not in matrix where you put the and then you get knowledge okay you need to to do the
the lift >> and I need to say that 99% of people they want something ready they want the YouTube strategy 99% we rate with moving coverage. Okay. And this is the comments that I usually get on my channel and they say why you need to over complicate this because financial markets are complicated because it's multiple information they are exchanging in darkpole. You have order flow. You have options. If you want to make this a 50 200 that cross moving average model, good luck on the good luck. >> I love it. We're coming to the end
now. It's been such an incredible episode, a very unique episode of Words of Wisdom for sure. Um, just to finish off, I'd love you for you to talk to the audience like just give them your best advice in terms of scaling their journey as a trader, you know, no matter where they're at, whether they're a beginner, maybe you can give different advices based on where they're at, but but beginner to intermediate to advanced. Uh, like what would your message to the trading audience and community out there be? Okay. So to the one that are starting
and to the one that are scaling, don't put capital at risk before you are able to measure your edge. Measure your edge. Either it is algorithmical, either it is with a trading journal. Get your statistics ready. Be able to understand your draw down, your profit factor, because these metrics are the one that you will want to check when you are in draw down. And if you don't have something that is backing what you are doing, you will start to say, "I'm just gambling." Trading can get like gambling if you don't have an edge. So start
in a way that is protecting yourself before risking real money. Do all the work necessary before that you put real capital at risk. So in the moment that you put real capital at risk, you will not lose money for ego but you will lose money only for the retracement of the market for your model but you will be profitable in long term. The difficult part guys is not trading. The difficult part is the patience and the work that you need to put to become a profitable trader with edge building. From this moment it's all on
the upside and check your expectation. You cannot get rich with a small account. You cannot try to flip your account. Real trading is based on risk management. Don't check the return. Check the draw down and base the model that you use based on the draw down, not on the return. Because if you are not doing this, probably you will never check the return. You will only check the draw down and you will have a huge risk of ruin. >> I love that Fabio. Thank you again for being the one to suggest this first of all,
but doing this again for us and trading live today with your own personal capital. you know, you don't have to do this. You don't get any benefit other than the benefit you're giving to the community and the feedback, no doubt. And uh, you know, on behalf of everyone who's watched this episode, all of your episodes, and the last Chartan episode, we want to say a massive thank you for showcasing this and opening a a new door to a level of transparency that wasn't in the industry before, I would say. And I think most would agree.
Everyone at home, drop a comment with your biggest takeaway from this unique episode. It's absolutely crazy. It blows my mind every single time. I actually have to do like deep thinking afterwards like what just happened. But links for Fabio will be in the description below. Check out obviously Deep Charts as well, the Ordero platform that as Fabio said has put in so much time on their end, but also gotten feedback from some of the best traders in the world. So, it's going to be an absolutely world-class platform as well. And that's just me saying that.
So, sorry if it gets a bit awkward in me doing that in front of you. But, um, but yeah, hit subscribe, hit like. Other episodes are on screen and until next time, take care.
