Day Trading Strategy to Catch Trend Days | Backtest With Me

[@swagpat3630]

THIS! I wished more trading youtubers were as calm and as collected and as real as you and ICT. After ICT, I use to not like anyone because they are always too hopped up on goof balls and moving the chart around like a maniac showing their impulsive personaility which is not well suited for a trader so I never really liked to watch them. Calmness and showing realistic results grabs my attention

[@TanjaTrades]

There is now a Captain Backtest TradingView indicator that also has a strategy tester! Test it out yourself with different settings. Search "captain backtest" on tradingview

[@aribarto]

The winrate can very well be higher than 35% of Captain Backtest with even fewer trades. Sometimes it breaks the range and places order late, other times it breaks the range and the stoploss is too small and bias can also be wrong. If you use patience and correlations you can achieve a high win rate. Also, I backtested it back a year ago, it's amazing!

[@aribarto]

This strategy if revisited a little can give 60-70% winrate. Amazing!

I really appreciate you sharing this strategy. Immediately after watching did a replay from a random day in 2021 to just see what would happen and lo and behold it was a winner on the first try. Looks promising and will be fun to test out more. :)

Great mechanical setup. Could you please explain the stop loss adjustment rule again? 12:25 and then 13:30 rule. Also I am wondering if you lower the RR to say 1:2 or 1:3, would it actually improve win rate and also maintain overall profitability? Thanks

[@arrzfr]

Why don't YOU spend 40 hours backtesting and let us all know what your findings are? Cheers

I like ur strategy because it has a clear plan, clear entry conditions Its like the quarterly theory. It gives u clear trading plan

[@TanjaTrades]

Yup! No second guessing. Glad u like it!

[@Roy_Jenkins_]

Pretty cool! I'll have to backtest this myself. Another simple way to get in on trends is with the 5min 9EMA. Indicators generally suck, but if price has a small pull back to the 9EMA while it's lined up with an FVG, it tends to respect it and get some continuation. This is a good way to see when a trend may be getting exhausted too. If it starts pulling back to the 9EMA with no FVG's there to support price, it can possibly begin consolidating or even reversing.

[@Roy_Jenkins_]

Stop loss on the opposite side of the FVG or above/below the candle that formed it

[@TanjaTrades]

Great observation! I’ve also seen that as well on Emas, where the imbalances line up then it typically retraces to that same area

[@_f_6957]

[@jmschmidt357]

Hey Tanja. Great video. How long did it take you to backtest all this? I'm just needing to set my expectations for time and efffort. It certainly seems like you did a thorough job. I've never thought backtesting was so involved, but looks like that's the best way to find the true stats. Been following you for 6+months and have enjoyed the journey. Congrats on your move this last week and great 90 point win today!!!! The Captain Backtest would've worked today too, though your entry provided more:)

[@DerekCampbellIS]

I have to say a big thank you for this video Tanja. I know it has been there for a while now, but I had a problem...and that was I would enter too soon after the open of the market and just thinking or deciding that before 10 wasn't a good idea just didn't keep me out of it. If I saw a good discounted FVG I would want to buy it, or vice versa...but this trade--while it kept me busy with the setup by marking times etc. has kept me from getting in too early...The setup itself keeping me online to see which is taken out first high or low and then continuing with the rest of the setup. Will it always be my go to? Maybe not, but so far it has worked well for me and I would say much better win percentage than I was having between 9:15-10:00AM. So, thank you.

[@justally8768]

I really appreciate you sharing this strategy here, thank you. Is this strategy only for futures?

[@TanjaTrades]

I’ve only tested it on NQ / NAS100 and ES / S&P500 but you can check out the indicator posted in the community tab and test it out on forex, tradeforopp on twitter made an indicator/strategy tester

[@justally8768]

@@TanjaTrades thank you! I will do some back testing and see how it turns out.

[@timhartgrove2954]

Even though both the NQ and ES set up and broke out at the top of range today (Tues the 14th), one should have weighted the fact that both had a huge run up on news at 8:30 this morning. I guess if they had moved back down and eventually broke out the bottom would have been a good trade.

[@TanjaTrades]

yup! definitely gotta take into account the average true range

[@danielzpcsk85]

great video..thansk for sharing. . have you tweaked the strategy since?

[@timhartgrove2954]

I enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. My question is about today (11-9) on the NQ. After the range was established, we had a candle's wick penetrate the top of range and then retraced back into the zone and then the next candle penetrated the bottom of range. Does the second candle that went below the line trump the first candle or do we still look for a long setup?

[@TanjaTrades]

the model is to still look for longs and just wait for an m5 close above the previous m5 candle, wait for the entry to present itself

[@MRaj5510]

Omg! this is way easier to work with than S Bullet, thanks for sharing, the back testing looks pretty promising

While being profitable, the model loses 67% of the time. Whoever wants to put this into practice needs to have the stomach for losing streaks that will probably blow any funded account, unless you go with 0.5%R or less.

[@timhartgrove2954]

You probably can't answer this but this morning we had a huge wick on news. This was a knee jerk reaction and price is trading back down now. Would you disregard the knee jerk and put your line where price at the high before the big wick? We might break out to the bottom anyway but.....

[@TanjaTrades]

Yeah I’d put it at the high of the wick. Yup we might break out the bottom first or maybe not break either side by 11:15

Hello Tanja, ‪How many years of backtested data you considered ‬significant before go into live ?

Great question; I look at it more from data points. It needs at least 385 trades for it to prove that it’s statistically significant where it’s less than a 5% chance that it’s a random set of results

There is definitely something going on with the highs and or lows that get created between the times you gave us, 6am and 10am. I took one successful trade on EU on Friday, kinda like a TGIF one using your strategy you taught here. Hit TP on Monday as I had PDL as TP. Now on Monday yesterday, same pair, I took a loss, even tho I saw all confirmations, range broken to the downside, retracement on m5, candle close below previous m5, however, even though I took a loss, I found out that these price levels between the 6am and 10am are significant levels, price after sweeping the low between the price range, it reversed and bought all the way to the high of the same 6am-10am range, so perhaps we should not just enter sells just because price wicked below or above, we should however see these levels as either continuation or reversal price points, meaning we should wait for more ICT confirmations than just a retrace and a m5 candle close, I do hope I am making sense. Anyways, thanks so much for the video my leader! Love from Harare, Zimbabwe. 😊
