00:00In this video, I'm going to be showing you a new strategy that I've developed for trading binary options on
00:07Pocket Option, utilizing the TradingView Technical Indicator.
00:14Gus Schmidt here, and I'm back with another trading video.
00:17So today, I'm on the Pocket Option platform, and I'm going to be trading some binary options utilizing TradingView.com.
00:28All right, so what you see here is the interface of the trading platform here, Pocket Option.
00:35So what I've done here is I've loaded up my currency pairs, my regular currency pairs, not the OTCs or
00:46synthetic pairs.
00:48And what I'm looking for is I'm looking for a high percentage currency pair to trade, one with a high
00:56rate of return here.
00:57So if we see at the top of the chart, like Great British Pound, Japanese Yen, there's 89% greater
01:04return.
01:05Great British Pound, Swiss franc here, 85.
01:09So I'm going to look for one with the highest return here.
01:13Okay, so it appears to be the Aussie dollar, Japanese Yen here.
01:22All right, so I'm going to load up the Aussie dollar, Japanese Yen.
01:29And let's look for some other potential pairs.
01:37Okay, the Euro-US dollar, which is the most heavily traded, is 78%.
01:43And so we're going to trade the Aussie dollar, Japanese Yen.
01:47All right, so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go to TradingView here, tradingview.com.
01:59All right, so this is the user interface of tradingview.com.
02:05I've already signed into my account here.
02:08So what we're going to do is we're going to look for, we're going to go to the search bar
02:12here and type in Aussie dollar, Japanese Yen.
02:22Okay, here it is.
02:23It happens to be, it happens to pop up here.
02:30But normally I would just go type in Aussie dollar, Japanese Yen, and then here it is right here.
02:39So what we're going to do is we're going to see overview.
02:43Click on see overview for the Aussie dollar, Japanese Yen.
02:48And then click on technicals.
02:56Loads up the technicals.
02:58So when we load up the technicals, you see this gauge here.
03:04And the gauge is a measurement of various oscillators and moving averages.
03:10So if I scroll down, I can show you.
03:12So the oscillators here on the left, there's a combination of several oscillators, relative strength index, stochastic, commodity channel, awesome
03:26oscillator momentum with all the various settings of these oscillators.
03:30And to the right, we have the moving averages, exponential moving, 10 period exponential, 10 period simple moving average, 20
03:41period EMA, and so forth down the line here up to 100 SMA here.
03:48And what the gauge does is it combines all the moving averages and all the oscillators here into a potential
03:57signal here.
03:59So according to all the oscillators here, we're seeing one cell, eight neutral, two by, and for the moving averages,
04:06we see eight cell, one neutral, six by.
04:10And the summary here is a summary of all the combination of all the oscillators put together here.
04:18And so what we're going to do is the timeframe is set to one day, but we're going to be
04:26focusing on one minute.
04:29Okay.
04:31So we're looking at the summary here.
04:33So the summary is giving us a basic buy on the one minute timeframe.
04:39So what I'm going to do here, I've set my period to one minute.
04:43I have the Aussie dollar, Japanese yen.
04:47So I'm going to go ahead and take a buy trade here for one minute.
05:00All right.
05:01So what we're going to do is we're going to wait for the expiration of this trade at the end
05:16of the one minute.
05:21And if this trade loses, what I'm going to do is I'm going to double up on the next trade
05:26here.
05:28But we're going to go back to the technical indicator here.
05:32It's giving us a buy currently.
05:36But let's see what happens with this trade.
05:52Okay.
05:53So that trade was out of the money.
05:55All right.
05:56So let's go back to the technical indicator here.
05:59And how I reloaded, I'll just click on five minutes and go back to one minute.
06:03Okay.
06:04It's still giving us a buy signal on the summary.
06:07So let's go ahead and take another.
06:09Let's take two buys, two buy trades here at this level.
06:13And the reason why I took two buy trades is in order to recover the previous loss,
06:20if this trade comes in the money, I'll recover the previous loss, the $500 loss,
06:29and gain some additional profit on the current trade here over the next 60 seconds.
06:34These are fast turbo trades, 60 second trades.
06:38So let's monitor this trade and wait for the expiration at the end of the 60 seconds.
06:55The strategy that I'm utilizing is known as the Martingale strategy where we recover the loss of the previous trade
07:03by doubling up on the next trade.
07:05Now, if this trade had lost, I would have doubled the $1,000 trade to $2,000.
07:12All right.
07:13But in any event, we won this trade.
07:17So I was able to recover the loss of that previous trade.
07:21All right.
07:21So now what we're going to do again, let's see here.
07:27So the Aussie dollar, Japanese yen, is still paying 90% here.
07:31You just check right here.
07:32It's still paying because sometimes the pairs, they change the rate of return on the pairs.
07:39So we want to keep a high rate of return here.
07:42So let's go back to the technical indicator.
07:46And we click on five minutes.
07:48It's giving us a strong buy and on the one minute, it's also giving us a strong buy.
07:53So let's go ahead and go ahead and take another buy trade.
08:03All right.
08:03So I took a buy trade.
08:09Where's the buy trade?
08:18All right.
08:23All right.
08:25Let's take a buy trade here.
08:27The oscillator and the moving average indicator is giving us, okay, on the five minutes strong sell,
08:36on the one minute strong, oh, excuse me, strong buy.
08:41So I went ahead and took a buy trade here at this level on the Aussie dollar, Japanese yen.
08:49So let's monitor this trade and wait for the expiration.
08:55If this trade loses, then we're going to go back to the Martingale strategy
09:00and go back to the technical indicator and double up on a trade if need be.
09:07But so far, this trade is going in our favor.
09:13So let's wait for the expiration.
09:20All right.
09:21Great.
09:21So that trade was in the money.
09:24All right.
09:24So let me go back to the technical indicator.
09:30Let's see.
09:31Okay.
09:32The five minute is still giving us strong buy.
09:35The one minute, okay, it's just giving us buy, but that's fine.
09:39We're going to go ahead and take another buy trade here.
09:54On the Aussie dollar, JPY.
09:58I didn't necessarily like the entry there.
10:02Because it jumped right when I took the buy trade on the candle.
10:08But in any event, let's monitor this trade.
10:14There appears to be a general bullish trend here currently.
10:21This is the 200 simple moving average line here.
10:24It's sloping upward, suggesting a general bullish trend.
10:31Okay.
10:32Great.
10:32So you see that push.
10:44Okay.
10:44So that trade was in the money.
10:50Go back to the technical indicator.
10:55See, we're still on the Aussie dollar.
10:57First of all, let me check.
10:58Okay.
10:58The rate of return is still at 90%.
11:02Let's go to the technical indicator here.
11:04The five minute is still giving us strong buy.
11:07The one minute, okay, it's still giving us a strong buy.
11:10So let's go ahead and take a buy.
11:13This was a great entry point because if you notice this bearish candle retraced back, but we caught the trade
11:20at the right time here.
11:24Caught the retracement and took the buy.
11:32Now, in any event, if this trade loses, I'm going to go to Martingale and double up on the trade.
11:40But first, we're going to let's wait for the results of this trade.
12:12So let's wait for the results of this trade.
12:14The trade was also in the money.
12:17Where's the Aussie dollar?
12:20All right.
12:21So let's go back to the technical indicator here.
12:26Okay.
12:27So we're still seeing a buy.
12:29Buys on the five minute.
12:33What does the one minute is still giving us a buy?
12:38All right.
12:39So let's take another buy trade here.
12:42Once again, the price we traced downward here.
12:47But the technical indicators are still on the one minute time frame is giving us still buy signals.
12:54Here are the oscillators.
12:56The moving average is still strong buy.
12:59So the summary is giving us a strong buy.
13:01So let's see the results of this trade here.
13:08Now, we're having a pretty good streak.
13:13But let's wait for the expiration.
13:20And if this trade loses, then I'm going to go ahead and take double up on the trade.
13:32Now, I'm anticipating we're still going to see.
13:37Let's see.
13:38Let's see.
13:38The one minute is still good.
13:39All right.
13:40So if this trade loses, I'm going to go.
13:42Okay.
13:43So, wow.
13:43That was close.
13:44But anyway, we lost that trade.
13:49So I went ahead and took two buy trades again here at this level.
13:55And that's because if we go to the trading view, technicals, we're still seeing an overall buy, strong buy in
14:06the moving average.
14:06We've got a neutral.
14:07But we're focusing on the summer year.
14:10So let's go back to the charts.
14:44Okay.
14:45Looks like this trade.
14:46Oh, wow.
14:48Okay.
14:48Great.
14:48So that trade was in the money at the last second.
14:51We had a push up here.
14:54So we're growing our account here.
14:57All right.
14:58So let's go back to the technical indicator.
15:01It seems to be the price is beginning to consolidate here at this level.
15:08But, okay, now the rate of return is at 89% here.
15:15Let's see if we have anything higher than 89.
15:20It doesn't appear.
15:22I think the Aussie dollar, JPY, 88% on the U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar.
15:30Okay.
15:31The EURUSD.
15:35Let's load up the EURUSD chart.
15:39And let's see what's happening there.
15:41So what I'd have to do is I'd go to the trading view here and load up the EURUSD chart.
15:51Okay.
15:51Here's the EURUSD.
15:54Let's go to C overview.
16:00Wait for the chart to load up.
16:02Okay.
16:03So let's click on technicals for the EURUSD.
16:21Okay.
16:24All right.
16:25So once again, it's when you load it, it's set to one day, but we're going to be focusing on
16:31the one minute charts.
16:34Okay.
16:35So the summary is giving us a sell signal here.
16:44Okay.
16:45So I'm on the EURUSD.
16:48I changed the asset because it's currently, okay, it went to 89.
16:56All right.
16:57In any event, it's paying a high rate of return, 89%.
17:00So let's go to the technical indicators on the EURUSD here.
17:07Make sure the timer is set to one minute here.
17:12Let's go, okay, so let's load the, let's go to five minutes.
17:17It's giving us sell on the five minute, and it's also giving us an overall sell.
17:22So let's go ahead and take a, let's take a sell trade here.
17:29A one minute sell trade on the EURUSD.
17:33Obviously, we're seeing a general bearish trend overall here, 200 period, simple moving average, sloping downward.
17:41So we're, this is a good idea.
17:43We're trading with the trend here.
17:47So let's monitor this trade and wait for the expiration.
17:57It's pushing downward.
18:12Well, I've set my candles to 15 seconds.
18:15So these are 15 second candles you're seeing here.
18:19I also have the vortex indicator.
18:24The minus VI line.
18:26Okay, so we lost that trade.
18:31All right, so we lost that trade.
18:33So let's go back and the indicator again.
18:37Let's see.
18:38All right, on the five minute, still giving us a sell.
18:41On the one minute, we still have a sell signal here.
18:45So let's go ahead and take two sell trades.
18:50Now I took two sell trades here because I wanted to recover the loss of the previous trade and gain
19:00some additional profit if this trade goes in the money.
19:07All right, so let's monitor this trade and wait for the expiration.
19:34The vortex, the minus VI line just crossed the plus VI line here in an upward direction.
19:43Which tells us the general strength of the bearish trend is still strong.
19:49Okay, great.
19:50So we won that trade.
19:52All right, so I'm going to end the trading session here.
19:55We've managed to grow our account significantly here.
20:00And if you like the video, please give it a thumbs up.
20:02Subscribe to my channel.
20:03Share the video with your friends.
20:05I have a link to the trading platform in the video comments or the video description or the channel bio.
20:14I also wanted to let folks know, like, I've only been trading using the Martingale strategy.
20:21You don't want to trade huge percentages, your capital, so I've been trading about 1% of my capital because
20:28if I have to double up on the trade, I have to have sufficient funds in order to do that,
20:34in order to recover these losses.
20:36Now, fortunately, I haven't gotten two losses in a row during this trading session, but if you do get two
20:47losses in a row, then you'd have to go from, you'd have to double up again.
20:53In other words, instead of taking a $1,000 trade and you lose it, then you'd have to take $2
21:01,000, okay?
21:06So, thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next video.
