Hii Ara, how're you currently managing the NZDUSD trade seeing that it nearly hit TP yesterday after CPI but now currently retracing. Are you still holding and patiently waiting for TP or invalidation?

[@tediouschabuka619]

hello please I wanted to ask if you can explain more on imbalance

[@GYMSynergybyAC]

Hello Ara. If you have backtest this strategy what is the winrate ?

[@xneil26]

I liked the moment that you said that a candle must be close below to consider it as a break of structure. Super helpful.

[@maurobruno4323]

Ciao Ara, thank you very much for this new video. I'm trading your strategy since two weeks now and I'm still trying to understand how to filter the various "signals". For this reason this new video is really gold for me! For a future video, if you think this could add more value to your "free community", maybe it could be helpful to understand when a limit order should be deleted or replaced by a new one on the same pair based on the price action. Anyway, thanks a lot for your kind and great job :)

[@blaket280]

This video may not be as interesting to sum as a payout video but it is very valuable for people who don’t understand what a valid pair is to trade and why a pair is invalid or valid to trade using this strategy. Thanks for the video @ara.

[@lousofia2667]

This strategy even works to 1 hour time frame provided that there is a trend and there is no news on your traded pair. I use this to my day trading strategy using 1 hour as my execution.

[@innate7260]

What i love with this strat is you can really spot the A+ setups, the trade at 10.30 although yes it played out, i would never have taken, clear sweep and clear BOS and FVG you must see, i still do wonder bout market structure tho, im finding that i win trades even against market structure

So clear as usual, thx Ara! I'm so glad I've been here in the community for almost a year.

I will share my own payout day on this platform. God bless you sir 🙏🏾 Edited: I agree with you totally on CAD pairs. I lost 3 trades on CAD pairs. They don't work so well for me.

[@Mark47891]

Hey Ara absolutely fantastic video as usual! I partially agree with your point about how there is no correlation between trade frequency and profitability. But lets say for example and because of the nature of this strategy you're only able to take 4 trades a month and you have a very good strike rate of 60%, lets say you lose 3 trades and win 1 and so you're down for the month (Which happens of course due to probabilities playing out). Bearing this example in mind, wouldnt it be a more effective approach to deliberately increase your trade frequency so that your edge can play out faster? Lets say you still have a 60% winrate but instead of taking 4 trades for the month you take 20. You're much more likely to be profitable for the month taking 20 trades because you have a larger sample size of trades and thus your edge actually has the chance to play out during the month. Its got more of a chance to really show itself and play out with 20 trades rather than 4 trades. Would love to hear your thoughts on this my brother, I thank you for taking the time to make these incredible videos man! ❤❤

[@AraKerbabian]

With all due respect brother that is not the right mindset to have in trading. Increasing capital is the objective, not increasing trade frequency. You simply cannot force trades. There is no debating this.. If you cannot master the patience required for this strategy then there are plenty of scalping strategies out there.

[@cornerhive07]

​@@AraKerbabian💯 Agreed you need to increase the capital to get big lot size and earn more profit but it's not mean that if you've small capital and in Greed of more profit you're not following the risk management, so keep patience buddy it's a swing strategy not a intraday or scalping that's why there is very rare trade frequency 😌💎

[@eliavdror-jw2oz]

[@nkosinathi_ngn]

If possible, please do a detailed video on how you came up with your fib retracement levels

[@AraKerbabian]

That would be like a 30 second video. Fibonacci has been around for ages lol

[@nkosinathi_ngn]

@AraKerbabian yes yes im aware, but now, yours specifically being 0.71 and 0.79, was it through testing that you found these to be the most effective as opposed to the general 0.618 "golden zone"?

[@AraKerbabian]

@@nkosinathi_ngn I use the more extreme fib numbers because it provides better risk/reward and I simply round the numbers up to satisfy my OCD.

[@Admin.HaRisALi]

Great content even after i joined his community...he is as honest as before....quality content❤...keep it up❤

[@DonDimadjo]

Curious to watch this video as the chart preview looks like NZDUSD to me as I’m in the same trade. The difference is that my fib was drawn not from the wick but from the massive bear candle and I’m curious to know why the wick is your high and not the strong bear candle that has led to breaking the structure 🤔

[@kolawoleolayemi7893]

Yoooo, same here

[@Romasterss]

Because that's where liquidity has been swept. Imagen that price would comeback to the top of the big bearish candle, it will most likely wick above that and then continue down because that's where alot of people put their stoploss. So to be safe put it on the previous swing high because if that gets violated the setup is not correct and you want to get out.

[@DonDimadjo]

@@Romasterss I’m aware about the liquidity sweep and my SL is also above the wick but I’ve seen in other videos that he drew the fib again not from the highest candle/wick but again from a lower candle after which he considers as a lower high and not from the absolute high that swept the liquidity. He talked about not being a big difference if you mark the fib from the higher high or the lower high (as in this case) still curious to hear his opinion as the RR changes depending on where the fib is drawn from and sometimes you might not even get triggered into a trade 🤷‍♂️

[@sunl0unger]

Same here. But i had to close the trade in drawdown because my account dont allowed to hold trades over weekends. (didnt bought that option because I wasnt supposed to trade 4h haha. Thinking to jump back in on Monday

[@AraKerbabian]

I'm sorry don't think I explained the placement in this video, I talked about it more in depth when I shared the trade with my community.

[@Ellysituation]

[@majorkamp]

Hey Ara, which broker do you use? And is it possible to do a video on which brokers to consider?

[@pavlinparashkevov9647]

Would you consider entering a trade in the zone based on PA (Engulfing candle, failure swing, LTF shift in MS, etc.), especially if it's not a 5 star set up or not quite at the 71% level, or you keep these rules strict? Thanks!

[@Broketrader07]

Hey Ara Hope you and your family are all doing well! absolutely fantastic video as usual!

Would love to hear your thoughts on this my brother, I thank you for taking the time to make these incredible videos man! ❤❤

[@mthxlisi]

To get more trade opportunities you'd have to go to lower timeframes. The strategy works on all timeframes but win rate probably reduces with lower timeframes so the scenario you describe is not likely to play out on higher timeframe like 4H, especially if you screen for the cleanest setups. That's just my opinion though, Ara would probably know better as the expert of the strategy

[@regamaliksamudra7858]

Hello Ara, thank you for making the swing trading tutorial. But I'm still confused about finding the right liquidity and BoS. Could you please make the video? Your video is very interesting and helpful for traders.☺

[@Eghosadolor]

My master has dropped another one. How come I missed it by 24 hours. This is needed Boss.

[@AlexiaAGallien]

Swing trading has always been incredibly unattractive to me. It takes too long, but I’ve been watching your channel for a few months and your approach is good. Trading SMC or ICT (depends on who you ask) LOL…it’s quite simple and I can agree that seeing opportunities on the higher time frame, to me, is always there. It’s just waitinggggg for the move to happen. So I’m going to assume, that’s why you have like 20+ pairs to watch (instead of maybe 5, which I’m used to). Having such a large list allows you to not have to “wait” so long to take a trade-if any, am I correct?

[@marciaffx]

Tons of value in this video, as always my friend. Thank you for sharing 🙂 cheers.

[@yasminebaliog7551]

I took that NZDUSD trade too and currently holding on to dear life because of that deep drawdown. Hope it goes the intended direction, if not, move on to next pair!

[@josephwilliams8828]

This strategy is sound. More videos for nuance are always appreciated by me!

[@adityauphade5918]

I didn't understand why in NZDUSD, the fib tool wasn't started from the immediate swing high that caused the BoS, but started from the previous swing high. I am involved in the same trade but my SL is the immediate swing high.

[@cornishmadematt]

I marked out the same trade as Ara. I go from external fractal points, that more immediate one you're referring to I would class as an internal fractal point. Ara's reasoning may be different though but thats how i look at it.

[@josephwilliams8828]

I agree. I marked from immediate swing high that caused BOS. Perhaps Ara can give us some insight?

[@imad0926]

easy, just look at the zone that sweeps liquidity, in the nzd trade he used the fib from the zone that sweeps the high before.

[@ezyumooezyumoo3426]

Yoow Ara bro thank you for consistently providing this much of valuable contents to us. I have one question that i'm really confused. On NZDUSD why did not you draw your fib from most recent high(which is from big bearish engulfing candle) but instead you draw it from the previous high which purged liquidity? is there any rule i miss such as the high should the one that took liquidity or something...?

[@AraKerbabian]

I did it incorrectly, I had a rough week lol not all mentally there. But I'm already in the trade so I can't change it.

[@Majcl_]

i wonder how many positions is ok to take at time, since you get paid out monthly on prop firms, there is not that many chances to trade especially with swing trading and you wont be able to take enough trades in a month for your win rate to really show it self if you for example hit a losing streak, and you only had 3 (trades this month) hope you get what im saying... i thought about having 1-3 positions at time if it makes sense

Doesn't make sense man. You could trade even just once per month and still be wildly profitable. There is no correlation between trade frequency and profitability, I've said this many times.
