I actually traded this pair and caught some of the trades you took on this backtest. The takeaway for me is, accept the fact that one will miss many opportunities to trade when using Ara's strategy and be at peace with it. So, have other pairs on your watchlist to trade when one pair's price action is iffy. Thanks Ara! I appreciate your efforts very much!

[@AmahleKale]

I literally watch this video each morning before I look at the charts it's been very helpful with my trading. Can you please do another one for the month of March with a different pair. Thank You for this video.

[@tristanrhode2412]

Everytime i need a reminder of how simple we should be keeping our trades, I come straight to your channel bro 🔥

[@DonDimadjo]

Best strategy ever! I’ve tested on 7 pairs (eu, gu, ej, gj, au, aj, nu) on last week only and the result is 18 wins and 5 loses or 15.5% profit risking 0.5% and reward 1% (r/r being 1:2). This is insane! Can’t wait to test on live market and small challenge account this upcoming week 😳 Thank you for simplifying trading and SMC concepts, Ara! You rock! 🤘

[@DonDimadjo]

Forgot to mention that the only adjustment I made is 70% retracement level on the fib, not 75% 🙏

[@jeimeanne]

Hi, you are using 70% retracement level for your entries? And how much data and months did you backtest?

[@DonDimadjo]

@@jeimeanneyes, 70% fib for entries and as I wrote I only tested last week on those 7 pairs but the volume of opportunities (20+) is enough to me to consider this a successful test. Maybe a lucky week or not but I’m going to test it live this week 😀🤞

[@carlosaversa7428]

I think it's really good but ONLY 4 trades it's not enought data. So viewers,make sure you back test this far enough! Thanks Ara for your knowledge!! God bless you!

[@fordmuigai1148]

Obviously it's a strategy that he has used for years hence why he has only four trades. Plus that's a high win strategy.

[@innate7260]

​@@fordmuigai1148ye def quality over quantity

[@marcinaskaldowicz]

do you have any proof he did used it for years to make such claims?@@fordmuigai1148

[@marcinaskaldowicz]

exactly 4 trades is very small number it should be backtested for at least a year and showing less then a month of data is very missleading imo, Im sure if he showed a full year it would not be 75% winrate lol

[@AraKerbabian]

@@marcinaskaldowicz I backtested a month and showed the analytics of that month. I don't see how that's misleading. I made no special claims about this strategy.. I literally just shared a backtesting session. At the end of the video I encouraged everyone to go backtest a year for themselves on their own time.

[@pokegasm1]

This video is perfect Ara! Especially with the movement to Futures and not being able to truly Swing Trade this is the perfect counter so thank you for your knowledge!❤

[@inhispresence1903]

Thank you, Ara... I will have to keep appreciating you every time. Having struggled with trading for 3 years, this is my 4 year. I became profitable after I watched all your videos on your channel.. I passed the funded next phases 1 and 2 in 2 weeks using your strategy. Thank you brother.

[@abahmarsya]

pretty straightforward since we follow HTF direction and not randomly buy or sell on 15m timeframe... imagine if combining this strategy with killzones... Great, Ara!

tq ara for this video😭 i just a beginner which learn trading , and i just was all your videos last week , and i try it using the step that you teach but its doesnt work for me until want to give up, but after watching this video , i just realize which pattern need to be more caution and be patient , which give me a bit more confident i really hope ara can come out this kind of backtesting video for whole month so that we can understanding more clearer💞

[@زاكيڤرو]

*FOR REVERSAL AT FIBO EXTREME 75%, I ALWAYS USE VOLUME DIVERGENCE WHEN PRICE APPROACH 75%. IF THERE IS AN OBVIOUS VOLUME DIVERGENCE, THEN PRICE WILL SURELY REVERSE TOWARD TARGET 0%* .

[@Matt-xv6zf]

What do you call a Volume divergence ?

[@زاكيڤرو]

@@Matt-xv6zf For example, compare 2 candles when those approach Fibo 75%. If volume for the 2nd candle is lower but the 2nd candle body is higher then it means volume divergence has happened. This is an early reversal signal

[@Matt-xv6zf]

@@زاكيڤرو Thank you very much for your reply. So how do you use this? You don't place limit orders, so how do you enter and place your SL ? You use M15 to diverge Volume to enter, the price doesn't always have to offer good risk/reward so...

[@Matt-xv6zf]

@@زاكيڤرو Thank you very much for the reply. Can you explain in detail how you enter the position? You take a position on the M15, if you look at the Volume candle and take a position against it on the M15, you may not always have a good risk reward than if you take a limit order.

[@mikismd8160]

Great Video, but what about news events. Which news do you avoid if you guys swingtrade on the 4h timeframe?

[@AraKerbabian]

I don't avoid any news. I look forward to it because it moves price along faster.

[@mikismd8160]

Thanks for the quick answer. It just happened to me today, to get stopped out because of one huge bullish candle on USD/CHF, while news came out that exact minute, as i had a sell position running, i guess my bias to go short was wrong. I was trading on the 4hr timeframe. Keep up your good inspiring content👍

[@adityauphade5918]

Hey Ara, The swing trading strategy is great, I really like it. I think the intraday would be better if we know what are the best times to trade this. I also think it would be informative if you share how do you manage your trades, When do you do so, What do you look for while managing trades, etc. How your Trading day is structured, I think it would help me personally

[@AraKerbabian]

Watch till the end where I discuss how it's important to continue your own backtesting and do at least a year of data. And you watched in the video exactly how I manage the trades. Thanks for watching.

23:27 when you say there was no imbalance as to why you haven't taken any trades there, did you mean on 4H there were no imbalances? i see some imbalances on m15. -- Wondering if that's how you "wait" for good trades - on H4? And then zoom in on m15 to take them? There must be an indicator for FVG on H4 which would make things easier to find to trade if this is so. Thank you!

[@AraKerbabian]

I was referring to the 15m side. In the range I identified I saw imbalance but at the very bottom. I'd need to see imbalance in the premium pricing of the range in order to feel comfortable selling.
