00:00back with another trading video and today what i'm going to be sharing with you is a
00:07trading strategy that takes advantage of a consolidating market uh arranging market in
00:18other words like for instance on this aussie dollar japanese yen here what we're looking at
00:23is um there's no clear trend here um as you see it's going back and forth no clear
00:30bullish or bearish trend so i found a little strategy where you can make money
00:39trading uh on the platform pocket auction basically using two indicators and the two
00:47indicators that i'm using are uh the fractal fractal indicator here
00:56right here and the moving average and so what i've done is uh we're going to keep
01:04the default settings on the uh well the fractal we're going to set the period to two
01:10which i believe is a default setting and if you want to change the style of the pixels
01:18um you're free to do that um i can see the the line the lines um the arrows
01:26and the moving average indicator we're going to set it to a period of 12 sma and of course you
01:35can
01:35also change the pixels here um i have it at one pixel which is good for me and i'm able
01:43to see
01:44uh you know the up in the green and the red arrows here so basically what we're looking for is
01:54when the market is consolidating or ranging like this it tends to hit go back to the the moving
02:01average so for instance here what we're going to do is we're going to wait for a signal uh
02:11a fractal signal and then what we're going to do is take a trade in the direction of the fractal
02:18now like i mentioned this only works during a uh a consolidating or arranging market
02:26and if we let's go and take a look at some other currency pairs like this even here for instance
02:33um another reason why i'm using this strategy is because the the markets have closed it's five o'clock
02:41eastern standard time and so the regular markets have uh regular for mark forex markets have closed
02:49closed closing only otc is available at this time and so there's really not a lot of movement
03:00uh in the otc markets as well when the markets are closed the otc markets sort of behave like the
03:07regular markets here as you can see there's a lot of ranging going on not not much of a not
03:12much
03:13uh trending currencies here um all right this is a little bit trending but as you can see here
03:24the market is kind of trying to uh starting to consolidate aussie dollar japanese yen which was
03:31where we were just at also what we're going to do is um i have the candle set to one
03:38minute
03:40and i've set our trade time to three minutes here
03:47you can set it all right so we're gonna so we're looking at one minute one minute candles
03:53uh while taking three minute trades so what we're gonna do is
04:02sort of scour all these different currency pairs and
04:07all right like this i would stay away from some well now it's starting to
04:12consolidate here it was trending upwards
04:16and this strategy doesn't work when when the market is trending like this
04:20it only like i mentioned works uh when the market starts to consolidate so we'll tend to stay away from
04:29currency like this now this good this is another good currency pair um as you can see it's consolidating
04:34nothing here nothing really happening all right so looks like this fractal all right we just created
04:41a fractal here so i'm gonna take a call trade the fractal just as i came upon upon this currency
04:49pair
04:50see the red there's a red fractal over here
04:55and that tells us to take an up trade all right so
05:02taking a three minute trade and i'm gonna
05:08i'm gonna pause the video
05:10for a little bit and then just before the trade uh expires we'll um we'll come back
05:22okay so i'm back and the trade is about to expire in about 10 seconds here and
05:31five seconds
05:44okay so that trade won okay so we won that trade and so let's go around and look for another
05:53setup
05:55uh i just caught that just in time as the fractal was formed
06:00okay so i came back and just when the fractal formed i took the trade
06:08but the fractal disappeared which was kind of weird but
06:16the formation of the formation of the fractal showed me that there was a trend reversal coming
06:22so i went ahead and took the trade and the trade is currently in our favor
06:30so
06:32let's see here how much time we have left on the trade about a minute left in the trade
06:39okay so uh and there goes the fractal now it just formed but it had formed
06:49earlier when i took the trade up here and so let's um let's look for the results of this trade
07:01i think we have about 30 seconds left in the trade
07:13and as you can see here it's consolidating canadian swiss franc otc pairs consolidating here
07:22and this fractal trading strategy um works works very well during ranging markets
07:42okay okay so that trade also won okay so i'm back with the um aussie dollar swiss franc and
07:54this fractal just formed so i took the trade as soon as the fractal formed here
08:01i took the trade and up in the uh bullish direction here and um what we're gonna do is gonna
08:09i'm gonna
08:10go ahead and pause the video and uh wait for the trade to expire in about three minutes
08:22uh two and a half minutes uh two and a half minutes right now and in about 30 seconds uh
08:2830 minutes
08:29trade is about to expire i'm gonna come back check the results
08:35okay so we're back with the aussie dollar swiss franc it's about to expire
08:40in about 20 seconds here to trade and um as you see here we have a nice ranging market and
08:50so
08:53see that that's what we're looking for here ranging not no trend whatsoever
09:03um all right so we won that trade okay all right so i'm going to pause the video and look
09:10for another
09:10setup uh take one more trade and then we'll call it a session
09:18okay so i'm back again with uh another trade on the canadian swiss franc here
09:25uh this green fractal just formed um you know consolidating market here on this particular
09:34currency pair as you can see here and um we're gonna once again pause the video
09:43and wait for the trade to expire in roughly two and a half minutes
09:49and uh see the results of the trade you're right back
09:56okay so i'm back with this last trade here this looks really close um
10:04all right so we just have a bearish push here at the end and
10:18okay so we won that trade as well all right so that's basically the concept of the strategy here
10:24we're looking for a consolidating or ranging market um like i said i've been trading outside the normal
10:33trading hours when where the market uh price action is really thin and this is a perfect example so
10:42what you what you can do is just sit on a particular currency pair and which most of the trades
10:48i took
10:48were on the canadian dollar swiss franc and um we had a pretty good set of winners
10:57all right and that's basically it for today so if you like the video you know give it a thumbs
11:04up
