1. The video is about a rules-based five-minute trading strategy that works well in the Forex, crypto stocks, and commodities market.
2. The strategy seems complicated at first but becomes manageable if followed step-by-step.
3. The first step is to open a clean chart and ensure that the five-minute time frame is selected.
4. The strategy can be applied to trade commodities, crypto stocks, or Forex.
5. The strategy is a trend-based strategy, meaning trades are taken in the same direction as the trend.
6. The strategy identifies trends using price action, specifically looking for consecutive higher lows and higher highs.
7. An uptrend is identified when there are at least two pullbacks, a series of lower lows followed by higher lows.
8. Pullbacks can be identified using Fibonacci retracement, which helps to identify healthy pullbacks.
9. The next step in the strategy is to find the entry point after at least one and two pullbacks.
10. The entry point is identified by looking for a strong breakout above a critical level, indicated by a momentum candle that is at least twice as long as the previous candles.
11. The strategy also takes into account volume, with a strong breakout on strong volume being a good sign.
12. The stop loss is set just below the previous resistance, or below the base preceding the breakout.
13. The risk-reward ratio is typically kept simple, with a 2:1 ratio.
14. The strategy can be applied even in complex market conditions, such as when the trend is not easily identifiable.
15. In such cases, the strategy involves identifying impulsive moves and pullbacks within the uptrend.
16. The entry point in these cases is identified by a momentum candle that is at least twice as large as the previous candles.
17. The stop loss can be set below the most recent clear low, allowing for some wiggle room.
18. The profit target can be set based on a simple 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio.
