How to pick trades in different market conditionsIn the video I look at two different markets and the resultant setups which yielded the prime trades. The two markets had to be approached in different ways, especially early in the session.
I look through the price action on the DOW and then the Nasdaq. The DOW proved to be more clear cut and a trend style approach while the Nasdaq was very choppy and warranted a range or reversion style approach to the trades.
Still, both were tradable and produced some good scalps although the action had to be recognised early.

Candlestick Analysis
Bollinger Bands - How to interpret Bollinger BandsBollinger Bands is a extremely functional indicator. Nothing fancy, simple interpretation and if you couple it with a momentum indicator even better. Points to remember, band get tight then breaks out, when price breaks out of upper or lower band signals reversal, and price above/below bollinger MA represents price is becoming over bought/oversold.
Watch List Rundown - Incorporating Time Frames and indicatorsThis exercise incorporates your watchlist with you indicators. How many stocks in my watchlist are telling me the story I want to verify to enter into a trade. Goal, find a indicator that correlates with the move you are attempting to trade. In this scenario we are looking for Green Volume Sticks for long entry. Using the 12M Time Frame give us the 50,000 foot view of whether or not the overall volume is buys or sells.
Daily Breakdown | The Modern Day TraderHi Everyone! My name is Sam and welcome to my first daily breakdown.
In these sessions I'll be analyzing the 4 pairs on my watchlist GBPJPY, US30, USDZAR & EURUSD.
Today I give a brief introduction to myself and my trading style which is an adaptation of ICT and then proceed to breakdown each pair. See bias below.
DXY - Bullish.
GBPJPY - Bullish, On watch for long entries.
US30 - Bearish, On watch but needs further development to consider short entries
USDZAR - Bearish, On watch but needs further development to consider short entries
EURUSD - Bearish, On watch for long entries (Confusing I know but watch the video and it will make sense)
A Winning Trade ExplainedIn the video I explain my approach to the market and how I use 'trade sizing' to manage my risk in the initial part of the US session.
I walk through the price action for the NASDAQ and why I traded short and then flipped long. I explain the concept of sizing with regards to trade management and then how I 'SIZE UP' when I have conviction to end with a profitable session.

"The Bodies Tell The Story.. The Wicks Do The Damage" - ICTIn this video I'm going to go through one of ICT's most famous sayings, which is "The bodies tell the story, and the wicks do the damage". If haven't taken the time to understand what he means, then you are seriously putting yourself at a disadvantage if you are using his concepts. This is one of the most crucial and useful pieces of the ICT puzzle. You often hear him say that the wicks are painting outside of the lines, which he sees as permissable when he is trading his PD Arrays. So without further ado, I'll try my best to provide some insight.
For illustrative purposes I'll use his Market Maker Sell Model. Just to note that this is not a video teaching about his market maker models, so the focus will not be on that or his other concepts. If you don't understand a certain term or concept, please check out ICT's YouTube Channel or the countless other resources online. This video will be predominantly shedding some light on candle bodies and wicks.
I urge you to go into your own charts and do your own study. This will truly be something eye opening if it is the first time you've actually decided to take notice.
