Reading The Tape (ICT) Part 2 - 23th Sept 2024This is part 2 of a video, since TradingView does not allow recordings over an hour. Also the previous title had the date wrong, it is 23rd Sept, not 9th.
In this video I practice reading the tape using ICT Concepts, as well as offering general advice to those using his concepts or otherwise.
I hope that you find this video insightful. If you have any questions, leave a comment and I will be glad to answer.

Trade Like A Sniper - Episode 12 - GBPAUD - (1st June 2024)This video is part of a video series where I backtest a specific asset using the TradingView Replay function, and perform a top-down analysis in order to frame ONE high-probability setup. I choose a random point of time to replay, and begin to work my way down the timeframes. Trading like a sniper is not about entries with no drawdown. It is about careful planning, discipline, and taking your shot at the right time in the best of conditions.
A couple of things to note:
- I cannot see news events.
- I cannot change timeframes without affecting my bias due to higher-timeframe candles revealing its entire range.
- I cannot go to a very low timeframe due to the limit in amount of replayed candlesticks
In this session I will be analyzing GBPAUD, starting from the 12-Month chart.

Price Rate Of Change Indicator (ROC)Signals:
In an uptrend look for the indicator reversal points below zero to go long.
In a downtrend look for the indicator reversal points above zero to go long.
Trend identification:
A rising ROC typically shows uptrend and crossing above zero line confirms the uptrend.
A falling ROC typically shows downtrend and crossing below zero line confirms the downtrend.
EW Analysis: GBPAUD In The Corrective PhaseHello traders!
GBPAUD is clearly bearish, as we see a sharp fall in impulsive price activity down from 2.085 high. We are tracking a so-called impulse, a move that is structured by five waves, where two of them are corrections. Now, we are tracking a wave 4 correction which started at 1.768 level, and it can climb a little higher as corrections are made by three waves a-b-c, before pair can look for strong resistance and a bearish resumption into a wave 5.
"A wave 4 correction can unfold as a simple zig-zag, which seems to be the best possible scenario, unless it turns out to be a flat, a triangle, or a more complex w-x-y move."
Resistance for a wave 4 correction can be at Fib. Ratio of 38.2 that comes in at 1.88/1.90 level, so watch that area as a potential resistance, especially around the previous wave "i" swing low a lesser degree. As such, there is room for slightly more upside before downtrend may resume.
Be humble and trade smart!

QUESTION - WHAT ARE THE BEST FOREX TRADING STRATEGIES?2ND ICHIMOKU TREND FOLLOWING TRADING STRATEGY
ICHIMOKU SETTING CHANGES
Kijun Sen Blue line to Red Line
Tenkan Sen Red line to Blue Line
This will match Ichimoku settings for MT4 & 5
Step One: Using Ichimoku Indicator to Find the Uptrend or Downtrend
Since this is a trend following strategy the first thing that needs to be identified is a trend. Do this on the one day, or four-hour time frame. These time frames will give you the best opportunity to identify a trend.
In our example trade, we see a downward trend with an upper trendline of resistance.
Drawing trend lines is one of the simplest ways to find a trend. Draw the trend line where there is support or resistance. Our example trade has three different levels of resistance to confirm this downtrend.
This trading strategy will always go in the direction of the trend. So an uptrend will ALWAYS be a BUY. A downtrend will ALWAYS be a SELL. This strategy uses all of these tools to identify if a trend will keep going and gets you into the uptrend or downtrend.
Step Two: Ichimoku Trading System The Tenkan Sen/ Kijun Sen Lines Cross
This next step using the Trend Following Trading Strategy, I will explain what criteria are needed for a trade entry.
Just to keep you on track, on the Tenkan Sen lines are Blue, Kijun Sen lines are Red. This crossing signal is going to tell you whether there is a strong bullish trend or a bearish trend.
When the Tenkan Sen line will cross below the Kijun Sen line, then this will give you an indication that there is a bearish trend.
You can see in our example trade the lines clearly cross which is our indication that this bearish downtrend is strong.
These lines are designed to do that very thing when they cross each other.
After the cross happened the Red line (Kijun) is now above the Blue line (Tenkan). That means that the trend is going to keep heading downwards. This is not an indication that the trend is breaking.
This was used on a four-hour chart. This chart is the best time frame to use because it gives you a good overall picture of how the last few days have gone as far as it trending.
In this timeframe, The lines need to cross either in the Kumo, which in the picture above is the orange area, or right below the cloud in this example. This was a sell signal because the trend was bearish while the Tenkan Sen line crossed below the Kijun Sen line in the senkou span area (Kumo).
Note* If the lines cross above the Kumo area in a downtrend, do not buy/sell. The opposite can also be applied to a downtrend. If the lines cross above the Kumo area in a downtrend, do not sell/buy. The reason for this is because this would be a weak signal that the trend will keep going up or down. The trade must always be made to go in the direction of the trend.
Recapping our rules using the Trend Following Trading Strategy, these three things must happen in order to enter a trade using the Ichimoku Indicator.
Identify the trend. This needs to be an upward or downward trend. The trade must go the direction of the trend.
Tenkan Sen line needs to cross Kijun Sen line.
When the two lines cross, they need to cross in one of these two specific areas. The first place would be in the Kumo area. The second will depend if its an upward or downward trend. In an upward trend, they need to cross above the Kumo area. During a downward trend, they need to cross below the Kumo area.
Note* This strategy is a trend following strategy. It is to help you identify a trend and identify that the trend will keep going either upward or downward.
Step 3: Determining an entry point Trend Following Trading Strategy
Determining an entry point should be very easy to do now. This is because once the Tenkan sen line crossed with the Kijun sen line either in the Kumo or just above or below on the four-hour time frame.
You can use the four-hour chart to enter and exit. Or you can drop down to a 1-hour chart for entry and exit.
I used the 4H to enter and exit on this example trade. But here is how to use a 1-hour chart for both.
Now, simply drop down to a one-hour time frame chart and enter the trade. You may check other time frames, but there really is no need since you have already followed the rules to enter the trade on the four-hour time frame. This is just to give you a better perspective on where you are entering.
Step 4: Stop Loss point
Stop loss is always important to have in case the trade goes in the wrong direction and you are now stuck in a pickle whether to end the trade early or end it too late and lose it all!
So we need a stop loss to help us out. Do this on the four hour time chart to see when the last areas of support or resistance were.
There need to be two or more points of resistance or support. In the example below, you see that there were support levels. So in this example, it will go just below them.
Step five: Exit Strategy
The exit strategy using the Trend Following Trading Strategy will wait until and trend starts moving the wrong direction and the lines cross again. I used the 4-hour chart to exit my trade. It is recommended to monitor this on the one-hour time frame to get the most accurate reading for this particular strategy.
The reason for this is that the trend is most likely coming to an end.
The trend can come back up, but once the lines cross over again it is time to exit the trade.
As you can see in the example the trend was slowly going back down. In the rules of this strategy, you will exit the trade if the lines cross over again.
So a trade may be 2 hours, 10 hours, 3 days or even a week! It depends on what the chart tells you and if it continues to follow the rules of the strategy.
Conclusion
The Trend Following Trading Strategy only uses this one indicator. That makes you focus on this indicator and does not make you have to keep checking others to see what they are telling you.
It may seem complicated at first with all of the different colored lines, clouds, and so on, however, when you break it down with this simple strategy, it makes it so much easier to understand.
Make sure you remember to only be risking no more than 2% of your account! No matter how confident you are, you should always follow this to maximize your account.
Thank you for reading the Trend Following Trading Strategy that uses the Ichimoku Indicator to help you gain a massive amount of pips at a time!

Buyers and Sellers might be at decisional spot. If we compare both sides, we a clear that buyers didn’t show any power. Do you think they are still waiting or they fade for some time?
Sellers at the moment are still testing buyers side, but we’ll know if sellers are strong enough to continue after breaking S1 and hold below. This will be tricky trade to all new traders, but for us, this is a good example to practice and get better lesson.

Buyers helding trending position very strong. If the price break R1, then price will follow next resistances. The problem here might be gaps lower, but still it looks that sellers are nowhere. I the price can hold below S1 then next target is S2. From overall market, bulls are more confidant for buy then sellers for sell.

ATR MONEY MANAGEMENT FOR GBPAUD & EURUSD 4H & 1DUsing a set amount for SL and TP for different pairs and time frames is not effective money management.
Using the ATR for a specific pair and time frame lets you custom yur SL & TP for what that pair actually moves.
ATR 1D takes the last 14 candles and adds up then up together and then divides that figure by 14.
Now you have an average of how much that pair moves in a day.
GBPAUD 1D ATR moves 133 pips
GBPAUD 4H ATR moves 47 pips
EURUSD 1D ATR moves 42 pips
EURUSD 4H ATR moves 15,6 pips
This helps me determine a more accurate setting for my SL and TP for the pair I am trading and the time frame I am using.
GBPAUD Documented MA trade + 50 PipsToday we had a nice push down in the GBP pairs which set-up an MA trade on this pair. Although this was not the last to reach the MA, price pulled back to the MA as opposed to the MA coming to price. Those who trade the Gold Method Ichimoku and have been in the training, know exactly what I am talking about. GA is also my favorite pair.
Everybody in the training room banked + 50 pips on the trade, Nice and easy.
Have a great weekend!!
