My Day Trading Strategy is Faster Than Scalping (And Less Risky)

If there's one trading sin I've never committed in my entire 11-year career, it's sculping. That's where I draw the line. Now, if you know me well, you know my roots are in futures trading.

That's where I started and over the years I developed my own trading strategy. The same one that made me consistently profitable to date. That's the strategy I teach my students at online trading campus.

And it's all about swing trading. But here's what most people don't know. I also teach day trading.

And lately, my students are hyping up this strategy. Now, look, I'll always preach that swing trading tends to be more profitable in the long run. At least for me, I like swing trading because it suits my lifestyle and my needs.

But I get it. For a lot of traders, especially the newer ones, day trading offers that quick cycle, that fast-paced action they're looking for. But here's the catch.

If you want to day trade and actually make money consistently, and I'm not talking about randomly jumping in with massive lot sizes, trying to scalp the market, you've got to follow a rock solid system, a real strategy. And today I'm going to show you exactly that. By the end of this video, I'll prove to you that it's absolutely possible to become consistently profitable with this day trading approach.

If, and this is a big if, if you stick to my rules, we are not playing games here. There's a price to pay for consistency, and that price discipline. But I've got you covered in this strategy breakdown.

I'll walk you through every rule. step by step. And I'll even show you how our mentor Clemens pulled in $2,000 in just 5 minutes trading what we call the window of opportunity on the 15-minute chart.

I actually made a video on this strategy a while back. Super detailed, super technical. But if you missed it, no worries.

Today, we are diving in again, and this time we're doing the analysis on Trading View, which makes it way more fun. Hi guys, sorry for the quick interruption before we get back to the video. I promise it will be worth your while, so listen closely.

I've observed that most traders who are watching are still struggling either with strategy or with capital, and the odds are not changing. While my edge has been consistently making me money and has even got me banned from the most well-known prop firm that I cannot mention directly for being too profitable. I will be hosting my first ever live event on May 6, 2025, which I want to invite you, my YouTube subscribers, to you need to know that it's kept at 500 participants.

This event is tailored for everyone who is not a member of my online trading campus. If you're already a member of the campus, I would kindly ask you to leave your spot open for someone who isn't. During this free event, I will be disclosing my edge and my strategy and also share with you what I'm not able to share on YouTube.

In the midst of a changing world order and once in a-lifetime opportunities, I want my knowledge to be accessible to the world and to make a global impact. And I can only do that by leveling the playing field. Thousands, if not tens of thousands of people have commented this.

So the 6th of May, my first ever and free live event is going to change lives. Besides strategy, access to capital is the second biggest problem. I'm going to reveal what you need to understand about prop firms.

I must say that due to software restrictions, we do really have limited capacity for attendance of my live event on May 6th and therefore it's first come, first serve. There won't be any recordings available or I won't be able to disclose here what I'm going to be disclosing in this live event. There is a registration link to attend my live event on May 6 in the description and also pinned at the comment section.

Pause this video, click there now and continue watching afterwards. Apologies for the interruption of this video, but this is happening once in a lifetime. Let's get back to the video strategy breakdown.

All right, first things first. Let's talk about the concept of the window of opportunity. Why do we need to look at very specific times of the day?

Well, timing is everything. You can study chart patterns and candlestick formations all day on the lower time frame, but if you don't know when to look, you're basically playing dots blindfolded. So, let's fire up Trading View and pull up the 15-minute chart on the Dow futures.

We are also going to look at NASDAQ, S&P 500, and Russell in a bit. Before we start anything, you need to understand this. These assets trade in two separate sessions.

Regular trading hours, that's the daytime session. Electronic trading hours, also called the Cloback session or the extended trading hours. Now, back in the day, regular trading hours were during the morning when traders were literally shouting across trading pits.

those classic Wall Street scenes. That session still brings the most liquidity and volatility. So, regular trading hours run from 9:30 a.

m. to 5:15 p. m.

Eastern Standard Time. And electronic trading hours kick off at 6:00 p. m.

and run overnight until 9:30 a. m. the next morning.

And right now, we are focusing on electronic trading hours. So, we select the electronic trading hours chart. Again, we are on a DAO futures 15-minute time frame.

This chart is our starting point. So, we need to add this in our rule book. Step one, Dow futures select the electronic trading hours chart.

Now, we need to make the trading hours clear for us. So, looking at the previous day, we pinpoint our open at 6:00 p. m.

with a vertical line and close at 9:30 a. m. Make sure you select the exchange time zone or you can convert these times from Eastern Standard Time to your local time zone.

So, that's step two. Locate the electronic session open and close. Now, we start looking at the highs and lows of the day.

We look for the highest point and the lowest point. When we are confident that we found them, we highlight the high with the horizontal line and the low with another horizontal. That's step three.

Let's make sure we write that down. All of our analysis on the electronic session is now concluded. We will now switch to the regular session.

So that's step four. All right. What do we need to do on the regular session?

That's step five. We look for supply zones above the CloEx high. It's possible that there won't be any.

If there aren't any high quality zones, then we won't take that trade. Step six, identify demand zones below the Cloex low. Again, we want to focus only on high quality zones.

If you haven't seen the freshness and originality video, you need to check it out just to make sure we are all on the same page. when I say high quality zone. Step seven, we get ready to take trades based on the supply and demand zones that we just found.

And I will tell you exactly how to find trades that meet our extended set of rules right now. But first, I need to explain what we just did. Why are we looking for supply and demand zones away from the GlobeEx high and low of the day?

And where can we find the window of opportunity? Well, there's a very interesting thing happening behind the curtains here that you should know about because what we are doing right now is setting up a bait for novice traders to trap them in our trades. The breakout bait during the globe session or the electronic trading hours highs and lows are formed.

As the day session begins, many traders who still follow the hurt mentality are familiar with the GlobeEx highs and lows and they have their eyes on these levels. Now, regular trading hours are open. When price rises above the Globeex high, many traders become bullish and either buy the breakout or prepare to do so.

This is a classic novice mistake that we can trade against. Now, when this happens, when traders buy above the Globex high into a supply level, that's what we want to see. We want to see them thinking breakout.

Let's go long. So, we set our bull trap. Our plan is to trap them inside this zone, then dump the price back by selling at supply like we always do.

A key thing to notice here, we don't want to just short randomly. We want to short in a supply zone. So price breaks above the Doex high into a supply zone, then we short from this supply zone.

And another key point here is that we set all this up ahead of time. We don't enter at market price. No, we place a pending order which will be executed automatically if bulls buy in our supply.

And it works both ways. when price breaks below the globic slow. So, we are looking at the lows now from the low of that extended trading hours.

Once the regular trading session begins at 9:30 standard Eastern time, once price breaks below the globe slow, these traders become bearish and they start planning to take breakouts. In other words, they are shorting. That's our bear trap.

We set our buy order. They think they're riding the trend. Instead, they're handing us profits on a silver platter.

You'll see this exact scenario play out over and over again if you know where to look. And that's the idea behind this day trading strategy, the search for volatility. I know I haven't still answered the question, what is the window of opportunity?

Well, it's one of the best refinement tools that will help you find higher quality zones easier. Let me show you how. As we mentioned in step five and six, we identify any supply zones that are above the GlobeEx high and demand below the low.

Now, if we limit our search to the zones located between 8:00 a. m. to 11:00 a.

m. standard Eastern time during the regular trading session, we are looking at the window of opportunity. Those are some of the highest quality zones that you could find on the lower time frames.

And I will tell you why. The time between 8:00 a. m.

and 11:00 a. m. the stocks and indices experience the most volatility.

More volatility during those hours equals large institutional candles equals better departure from our zones leading to higher quality zones. So, if your lower time frame zone is located inside the window of opportunity, get ready to place those trades. And if we can't find any highquality zones during this time, we just pass on the trade.

This is a very important filter to weed out any lowquality trades. So, let me add it here as step eight. And our step nine would be to repeat all the previous steps on all the other indices, NASDAQ, S&P 500, and Russell.

More rules equals less risk. Now, one of you might be thinking, if this day trading strategy is consistently profitable, as I claim, why don't trade it anymore? Well, one of the biggest drawbacks of this strategy is that you have to show up every day.

It takes only one hour to set up, but for me personally, I can't afford five to six hours a week, especially because you shouldn't expect high gains from this strategy. If you could make one hour per week, you're an overachiever. Back in the day, I used to aim for only one to two hours per month.

So on a 100k account, you should be making between a,000 to $2,000 every month. Remember, if it was easy, everybody, every rookie who traded the market would be consistent with it. It is not easy.

It's challenging. It needs a lot of discipline and a very strong mentality. But at the end of the day, the question remains, can you make money every single month?

Yes, you definitely can. We actually asked a group of 60 students about their winnings from trading the Cloex traps with us in this recent poll. And as you can see, more than half of them did not make or lose any money thanks to our aggressive risk management rules that we recommend.

Only 7% lost one hour during this week. 19% made a profit of 1 hour and 12% made 2 hours. What's really interesting is seeing that 5% made more than 3 hours.

That's off the charts good. But before you get all excited chasing two and three R trades, let's make sure you don't fall into the greed trap. I've got seven rules for you that will keep you grounded, lock you into the system, and most importantly, protect your capital by keeping your losses to an absolute minimum.

Trust me, this is the part most traders skip, and it's exactly why they blow up. First of all, you need to look at the economic calendar. When trading the lower time frames, you should always be aware of all news events.

So, let's add that as rule number one. Always look at the economic calendar. Why?

Because we avoid news. We don't engage during news events as they cause a lot of unpredictable volatility. Rule number two, we look at the stocks performance in the past weeks.

For example, we look at the Mac 7 specifically if we are engaging the NASDAQ. The Mac 7 are a group of high-erforming stocks. They are Apple, Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla.

Keep an eye on these stocks. Rule number three, we look at seasonality and fundamental analysis. Unlike swing trading which rely heavily on fundamentals, here it plays a smaller role.

We skim through our OTC indicators just to make sure we are not opposing the institutions in any upcoming major moves. Rule number four, trend analysis on the higher time frames. Are we located high or low on the chart?

Are we in an uptrend or equilibrium? I'm sure you know all about this by now. We have been studying this for the past year.

Rule number five, price action and filtering out lowquality zones on the lower time frame. We select only fresh zones to place our bull or bear traps. We use 60 minute, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, and on some rare occasions the fiveinut chart.

Rule number six, conduct our analysis on all four indices to select the better risk-to-reward ratio and probability of getting filled. All of these steps have to be repeated four times once on each index and you might end up trading only one or two of them depending on the zones and the market conditions. And finally, rule number seven, you always have to take the next trade.

Why? Because if you don't for any reasons like getting cold feet or because you moved your stop loss to break even, whatever the reason, it should not affect the next trade. Each trade is an isolated event.

So the biggest downside of trading lower time frame, you must have an incredibly strong mentality, automated decisions, quick execution, and always keep your emotions in check because we have very limited time to execute. And if you start skipping trades, you will eventually mess with your win loss and your risk-to-reward ratios, and by the end of the month, you'll be in the red. The only reason to start skipping trades if you're already on the hot streak and made two or three hours in one week.

In that case, I would say stop trading. Go out, enjoy your life. You already achieved above expectations because let me say that again.

You should only expect to make one to two hours per month using this system. One of you might be thinking right now, I'm trading a 5K account and two Rs for me are only $100. This trading system is not worth the effort.

Well, this is a capital problem, not a system problem. You need to scale up your funded account. You don't need to change the system, and you don't need to place more trades.

You need to keep making a hundred bucks per month and save to get a bigger funded account. That's the only way to scale. Mentor saving the day.

So again, I need to emphasize this. If you plan on trading the Cloex traps, do it using the rules that I just discussed. Don't create your own recipe out of this.

And most importantly, don't be like this guy who had this brilliant idea to apply the CloEx traps on Bitcoin of all assets. But luckily, he asked Clemens, our CloEx expert, and I want to share his response with you. Bibli is asking, did anyone uh god did anyone did the GloEx trap strategy for Bitcoin?

I haven't. I honestly I don't know. Bitcoin trades 24/7.

Um, you also have to be a little bit careful with Bitcoin futures because with Bitcoin you have that weird thing where the futures are actually not the underlying, right? We always say the futures are the reality and then the cash charts and the CFDs, their derivatives. With Bitcoin, it's actually the other way around because if you read the description of the Bitcoin futures, it actually takes I think three or five price quotes from major exchanges.

So from Coinbase and I think from Binance and I don't know what into consideration runs them through an algorithm and then comes up with the futures price. So in this particular case your futures is actually a derivative of decentralized um spot charts if that makes sense. So the notion of a regular and an extended trading hour doesn't really apply there.

So, I don't really know if if it works uh on um Bitcoin. And honestly, at least for me, with my mental capacity, I don't know if I want to trade Bitcoin on a 3minut chart. Just like I already lost all my hair, so no.

Yeah, that was quite a safe. This is one of the moments where having a trading mentor looking over your shoulder every day makes all the difference. We are talking about the difference between consistently pulling two Rs each month and blowing up your entire account over one silly mistake.

It's those small rettime corrections that separate success from disaster. All right, so get this. Clemens had an absolute monster of a week.

He locked in $2,000 on a single trade and it lasted only 5 minutes. Talk about sniper precision right into the window of opportunity. This is a kind of timing that separates the pros from the pack.

And guess what? He's about to join us right now in the practical application session. He's going to break down exactly how he pulled it off step by step right on the charts.

We are going to revisit everything we talked about, but this time you'll see it in action. Let's watch how this incredible trade came together. All right, before I run you through that trade from April 1st, let me first take a moment and go over one more time how I identify globex traps and set them up just the way I do it almost everyday life for our OTC students.

So, I'm right here on Trading View and I'm looking at the S&P 500. As Bern explained, Globe Extraps work on all the indices. So be it the NASDAQ, the Dow, the Russell or like in our case right now the S&P 500.

The first thing I want to do is I want to mark out the overnight session. So on my GlobeEx high and my GlobeEx low. The easiest way to do this is on a daily chart before the market opens as close as to the market open as possible and by simply adding two horizontal lines which I'm going to do right now.

So I'm going to add the first line and I'm going to make this the GloEx low. So I'm just going to call it here Gloex low and we want to have that in green and I will position that at the bottom of today's range. Then I will add another line and I will make this red because this will be the zone where we start shorting and I will call that the Gloveex high which marks the highest point of our overnight range.

So there we have it. I simply added it to the top and the bottom part of our daily candle. Up here is the overnight session high.

So the highest point that price reached in today's overnight session and down here is the Gloex low. So the lowest point that price reached so far. Next I want to go down in time frame to let's say a 60 minute and we'll take it from there.

So, I gone on to a 60-minute chart. And important, I want to filter out the overnight session because I'm only interested in the regular trading hour levels. So, the ones that have the highest volume in Trading View, that's quite easy.

You just select down here regular trading hours. Then I look for high quality supply and demand zones that are as close as possible to the overnight session high and the overnight session low. So right here I have a beautiful rally base drop on the 60-minut.

So this could be our supply right here. And if I look down, I have a rally base rally which could be our Globex trap demand zone. And I'm going to mark this off down here.

And let me just make this green because this would be an area where we would be looking to buy. Now, one more crucial step. I need to verify if it's an older level that price and no point pierced this level in any of the previous overnight sessions.

So, the easiest way to do this if you just toggle again here, you look at the electronic trading hours and you just verify that price actually never went through it. I have very conservative rules when it comes to globs. So, for me, the zones also have to be fresh, not only in the preferred but also in the wider version.

And if I look at these, both zones check all the boxes. They're very close to our Gloex high and low. They're of high quality.

They are on higher time frame in our case on 60 minutes. And they have a beautiful strong leg out. And of course, they're fresh.

If you want, you can refine it. So you could go down, for example, on the 15-minute chart. You switch back to the regular trading hours to filter out all that overnight noise.

and you see if there's a zone that's even closer or if you can make that 60-minut zone a little bit smaller. So in our case for example, we could argue we have here a rally base drop followed by another drop base drop. So we can make that either a level on top of level or we can just shift our entry a little bit here to that 15-minute preferred zone which would enable us to squeeze out even more reward if price reaches our zone.

However, for our demand zone, there isn't really much I can refine. So, I would just leave it as it is. Now comes the important part.

I need to wait. I need to wait until the regular trading hour commences, i. e.

the market opens. Slightly before the market opens, I want to reverify that my GloEx high and my Gloex low remain unchanged. If for whatever reason price is pushed a little bit higher, for example, before the regular trading hour commences, I would have to adjust my GloEx high line.

If that line would touch my level, then unfortunately this trap is no longer valid and I would have to remove it and look for another one that's further above. It's also important that you don't panic or that you don't do any rush decision. Again, we are we set a trap and we are patiently waiting.

We let price come to us. We don't chase price. All right.

Now that we've covered my process and the theory behind Globex traps, let's go back one more time into the charts and have a look at the trade that I took on April 1st together with our students at OTC. All right, we're back in the charts and this time we're looking at the Russell. Down here we had our Gloex low and up here our Gloex high.

Now this zone down here, this drop base rally is what caught our interest. It was a beautiful 5minute Gloex trap. It ticked all the boxes in terms of location and formation.

So, let's look at the replay and see candle by candle just what happened. Okay, I'm going to go down to one minute chart so we can really focus step by step and see how this trade plays out. The market opened quite weak and we immediately got a very strong selloff in the first two minutes of the market.

Now, it's important to note that at no time did this cause us to panic. Like I said earlier, we simply wait patiently in our trap and let price come to us. The mark consolidated a little bit in front of our level before ultimately collapsing right into our zones roughly 5 minutes after the market opened.

And right here is where we got tagged in. So now we're in the trade. And there's only two possible outcomes here.

We either hit our target and make money or we get stopped out and we simply move on to the next trade. So what happened next? Price spent roughly one minute in our zone before strongly already reacting out of it causing us to move our stop loss to break even after we hit a one to one.

So at this point of time we were already looking at a free trade. We either now make money or we get stopped out at zero. Pretty cool.

So what happened next? Within another minute, price shot into our target and that ended the trade. So, you see that within roughly 4 minutes, we entered the trade and we got out and hit our target.

So, that for me on my $1 million Compass Fund account was $2,000 in profit in, like I said, under 5 minutes. That's pretty cool to me. Now, if you want to see more setups just like this or more of my face just like that, all you have to do is join online trading campus.

I'm live every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with our community trading globe extraps live in front of you. I hope to see you in one of my classes in the future. That's it for this valuepacked lesson.

See you in the next one.
