Hello please answer me

[@oswaldoalexanderinfantegue863]

Good evening teacher, I hope you are well. First of all, thank you for all the teaching you have provided both on your social networks and on KZbin. I have also seen and repeated your strategy in swing trading mode. And I have a couple of questions that I would like to tell you and if you are in the time to answer me and clarify these doubts, I will be eternally grateful. The first is, what is the name of the indicator that you use to mark the swing high and low. And the second is, if before placing a trade, in this case in 4H, you rely on a Daily OB, to search in this case for the trade until the next breakout, whether bullish or bearish. To be honest, I have translated this message and I don't know if Google is translating it correctly hahaha, since I don't speak English much, because I am from Latin America, but, so as not to bother you anymore and use up your little time, can you please help me with those two questions... Without anything else to add, I send you a big hug from Chile to wherever you are, teacher...

[@viocto1627]

Passed my first Phase 1 with this strategy. Thankyou Ara.

Hi can you help me to pass

4h strategy? Or lower timeframe

No, time on the charts will pass the eval for you@@SleepySunglasses-cg1dk

[@profitmask]

What if we are in the 4 hour uptrend, I get a liquidity sweep and a bos, do I still look to sell or only if the market direction is short anyway? & what about news? Thanks for every answer.

[@crisfalconortiz.Fx_Falcon]

I look forward to back testing this 4h strategy in December to then be used for passing challenges in 2024. Blessings to everyone.

[@Liquidityexe]

I'll suggest use this after dec ... cuz in dec market mostly fail structure

[@crisfalconortiz.Fx_Falcon]

@@Liquidityexe I agree, but I will be backtesting this strategy using the 2023 and 2022 data

[@freeman1019]

Or just pay 500 tp get it passed for you

[@hariranormal5584]

@@freeman1019 Most of them are scams. Like I haven't found even one service that is legit. Those people just gamble with your accounts, and when they win, they show it everywhere "look! Happy customers!"

[@prajyottandel6864]

What a great video with clear explanation, I don't think there is anyone in youtube space who explains his traders in such a manner and shows his drawdowns too💯💯 absolutely proud of you and thanks alot for teaching this ❤

[@the-big-josh]

Congratulations Ara for passing your FTMO challenge. You deserve it sir. I am looking forward to your payout video. Goodluck sir 🎉

[@josephwilliams8828]

This strategy is logical, simple, and elegant. Thank you for sharing this.

[@kkrishnanunni857]

when you said "i used to take large risk to reward ratio trades and now i don't" just hit me so hard . this is what maturing as a trader means i guess.

[@TheMackGray_]

such an awesome breakdown brother!

[@RowinTiagarajah]

Solid walkthrough, sir!

[@sheaevans9322]

I very much appreciate the video content that you are sharing with everyone. I studied this strategy for a day and then put it to use last night and was able to pass phase one of my testing account. I am sick of staring at the charts looking for crap trades on lower time frames. Thank you so much. I really hope you plan on making more videos. Stay blessed!

[@Inakwu]

You drop a lot of gems that resonate with a lot of traders. Keep up the good work 👍

[@SaidaYengui]

Thank you so much for all the effort put into your videos I have been watching your content for a while and it did provide value to me.

Quality uploads better than quantity

[@rjcfx1728]

As always Ara a great video. I use your strategy myself and it works. I’m currently in an FTMO challenge and it’s going well. May not pass until next year but it’s going well. Thank you for another great insight into trading 😊

thank you so much for this video, can we withdraw the profit when we pass the first phase?

[@gurdavsingh1038]

did you get the FTMO SWING account challenge with 1:30 leverage or just the standard 1:100 account. if you got the swing account with 1:30 how did you calculate your lots size ?

Thanks for the video, can you share the indicator you use to identify the pivot points (arrows) on your chart?

thanks for this free educational video u r a nice person

[@johnnykiddo7658]

What’s the indicator you have on you chart that identify pivot point high and lows

[@tumelomoloi9934]

Great video champ, the core basis of this strategy is almost identical to that of ICTs 2022 model. Great strategy. Have you back tested it on lower TF?

[@craig8838]

I have just sat here all day watching your content for hours and also watched a few videos on repeat and I have to say the way you explain things is great so clear and precise. It's truly amazing how simple you have made things I'm currently in the process of moving to swing trading because as you said the smaller time frames just take to much chart time and to be perfectly honest i have been a slave to the charts for the past 3 years and had enough. After watching these videos and then reflecting back on the charts it is clear to me I won't be going back to day trading and honestly couldn't thank you enough for taking the time to create and edit these videos for the benefit of others when you didn't need to keep up the good work youtube needs more transparent people like you who aren't just trying to get money from people through courses once again thanks for everything.

[@AraKerbabian]

Thank you for taking the time to write this 🙏🏼

[@chinecheremkingsley9864]

Hello Ara 👋🏻, for a valid CHoCH, does the candle need to close below the swing low or can it's wick also cause a change of character ?

[@mikef.6216]

Been CRUSHING the 15M TF with this exact strategy...Thanks Ara. Congrats on the 200K account!

[@iamjonmercy8502]

Hey bro what’s up I’ve been wanting to ask this if I can use it on the 15min Tf

[@iamjonmercy8502]

Can we connect on IG bro?

It’s works on lower timeframe?

[@Jamizcorner]

You got the 7% drawdown in the first phase i got it in the second. But now with the help of your strategy i recovered the 6 % now in 1% draw down bundle of thanks

[@fjumfjum]

Hi, Do you keep track of the upcoming news and what is your approach for that? Do you close your trades during those periods or just keep them running? Cheers!

Hi brother congratulations could you please make a video showing how you setup you tradingview chart and indicator you are using please 🙏🏾

[@lupatheartist3947]

is the liquidity grab a must for every setup?

[@studentoffx2907]

Thanks @AraKerbabiab. A very useful video and informative video. Quick question why do you trade only on 4h

[@syedshahzaibshah2554]

Hallo, just want to know can we use the same SMC strategy on 1hr for POI and 5min Entry? and which one is better 4hr, 15min OR 1hr,5min strategy ? Honest answer please

[@shaunpusey4169]

Hey Man love your work, been binging your stuff. With this swing style do you go BE or its SL of TP?

[@AraKerbabian]

It's either SL or TP

[@mullerissah7866]

I'm here waiting for this

[@HennFX]

Does the liquidity grab need to be fairly close or can there be a high or low in past history that we use as a point of interest?

[@paasuccess4643]

Araaaaaa ❤❤❤ can't wait 😊

[@first1st284]

im pretty new to trading ive been watching all of your videos and testing out the strategy. However, I still don't get the concept of liquidity grab and why didn't you talk about imbalance in both graph? (just curious) I really want to understand this strategy but no matter how hard I try i miss out on some of the concept. (Can someone pretty please explain to me? even if i go search up smc videos all they do is yap and just wont get straight to the point like you) 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@patmontes2]

Great video Ara! Is it key here that the MSS displacement are comprised of strong consecutive candles?

[@AraKerbabian]

I explained this in the video.. Necessary is a subjective term. There are certain things that can increase or diminish the probability of a successful trade.

[@akrambasha3995]

Do you trade this in any pairs you see or have some selected pairs bro

[@burgertaster9394]

For the 4 hour may we know what small time frame trend will be relevant trade with the strategy is it 16 minute ,30 minute or 1 hour

Normal for now

[@fearlesszvn]

Why normal if you dont mind? Swing account gives you ability to open a trade with a news release which you cannot predict if you set and forget the limit orders for example during NY, news will execute the trade and you will be terminated or the trade won't be counted as a profit. Could you explain it? @@AraKerbabian
