How to Trade Order Blocks | Forex Trading Strategy

[@gibsonlespaulspecial]

That was Golden! I've been backtesting myself in a similar way but without the logic you have shown. This is far better than what I was doing and makes better sense of Price Action. Been waiting for this for quite a while and worth the wait. Good to see you back on track Paul, I enjoy your videos!!

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Thanks so much Andrew. That means a lot mate. I'm going to record a couple of follow-ons to this to show better entries with less drawdown / losses whilst ensuring that the wins are just as good. Its so simple, but got to make sure that the market is likely in a trend. Still, 20R from 12 pips 😄. Best I did was around 60% in one night back in March

[@gibsonlespaulspecial]

@@TradeForexwithPaul Can't wait Paul!! People can be demanding but health whether it be mental or physical comes first, and then family. Look after yourself, you'll always have people willing to wait for genuine guys like you that help others. It's up to us to then backtest, perfect and trade live. My Prop account win% is great but I pull out too early and my entries are small. I could do with increasing my +2% account. I trade H4 but really want LTF's. This is an absolute gem, thank you!!!

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

I may have modified the OB requirements since this video. Most just stand out on the chart but often the best include confluences such as sweep into mitigation, imbalance, aggressive push in wrong direction sizable compared to nearby candles, no imbalance on far side etc etc

You're superb mate! Can you make video on how you scalp in M1? Many thanks!

[@therealjeffg]

Just found your channel. That was great thanks. You explain things so well. One thing I didn’t understand was the bit at the start re the spread period. What does this mean and did you say to only trade outside that period?

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Thanks so much for watching and the comment. The spread hours period is usually between 9pm and 11pm uk time

[@claytonpfaendler4125]

can you please make a video on how to spot reversals using order blocks on the one minute, like when you finally got taken out.. how would spot and define when its reversing? please please please

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Exactly the same as 15m mate. Only difference is on the 1m you can use the 15 as the point of interest.

[@FXAxe]

how good is this strategy! Can use for multiple asset classes too!

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Thanks so much! Yeah - it can be used across the board. Each pair and asset class are different in a way so be sure to backtest :)

[@JakeG1]

Great methodology and explanation, Paul. Combining order block scalping with pyramiding is a very powerful strategy indeed! Thanks for sharing with us. Would you also trade this during the London session? You could catch some big moves after the open.

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Thanks mate, much appreciated. Yes - especially with XAU, and different time frames for different pairs. Pyramiding is key to successful account growth, but it can absolutely deplete your winners sometimes (just got to learn to stomach floating 10% up, only to close at 3% sometimes)

[@GhostofSparta-o8y]

Is there any way to renew the London breakout strategy? I have been losing at it so bad.

[@fabiow6]

Love your videos. They just simply make sense. Looks like a good strategy for crypto.

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Thanks mate! Yes - works well with BTC - definitely a good Crypto strategy as its very short-term dip buying, using the short term liquidity and predominantly in an upwards market. Good luck 💪

[@brothersvilla13]

Nice video,how much do u risk if price reached the halfway point of the orderblock?thanks for the info..

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Thanks for the view and the comment Manu. Always try to stick to

[@fabiow6]

So I do some backtesting and it looks like counter trend moves are trying to fill up imbalances that are created on a higher time frames like 3 and 5 minutes. Has any one else found that out?

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Hi Fabian, yes - I'm seeing that a lot lately, too! I'm finding that I'm taking it into consideration quite often now when trading and it's helping a fair bit.

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

I do Lisa 😃. I use pepperstone. Similar to IC markets

[@javigood1799]

you only look for entries and enviroment on the 1minute chart or do you use a higher timeframe to look for a main direction?

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Always HTF for direction and try to get entries on a timeframe lower. POI to POI - if you can get a LTF entry on a HTF POI, then the target remains the same... just the RR gets MASSIVELY increased

[@sarfarazkhan5975]

Respected Sir, what is the win rate for order block strategy..?

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

If you take ALL of them - around 30%. If you take the extremes only, around 45% (on EURUSD). If you take the extremes and the EQ, 36%, but you will have a staggeringly higher % rate.

[@timsmart5887]

Great video Paul, just what I needed. One question - why are you doing this overnight? Do the normal UK daytime hours just not offer the same opportunities? It looks broadly applicable?

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

Hi Tim, I was using the Asian session originally as I find that on GU it tends to trend more often than range, and the SL I could keep as 2.5-3 pips. With the London and NY sessions, I needed a SL of 6 pips, but their ranges would often back into each other. E.g. NY would often reverse on the London session, so the actual range of the day is impacted. It can work well though - it's just finding the balance of what works with you.

@@TradeForexwithPaul do you offer personal 1-1 coaching? If so what are the fees like?

[@davidhodgson7400]

Hi Paul, congrats on the great video, very straight forward. re your multiple entries, do you have multiple individual positions or a single position (essentially DCA'ing)? No matter how many trades as long as you are locking in profits by moving SL are you always using 0.5% ? It's like a trailing SL but with multiple trades which is safer as you get confirmation and can lock in profits real quick. I like it mate. Keep up the great work.

[@TradeForexwithPaul]

In real trading I'll try to place multiple trades on a single move to scale in. Not always very successfully - something im trying to improve on

That might be a bit of a struggle mate. You'd realistically need 1:30 (I used to be at 1:30 until recently). Your lot sizes will need to be very small if you're using very small stop losses, but nothing stopping you using OBs on the higher timeframes with a 1:10
