Just back tested this from April 2023-now and Win rate is 41.8% 23wins out of 55 trades, very easy strategy and only need to check once a day for like a couple hours if that. Actually thinking of adding this to what I already do instead of day trading which has more stress and more time on the charts. Your videos are good, very easy to understand and spoken well

[@keayto]

Hey , what time of day , once a day did you scan your watch list ?

[@EGP90209]

Not even finished the first 2 mins and the game you’ve provided in spot on. Less is more, and also the importance of not spending hours on the charts

[@thabomaseko4274]

this video definitely made my third eye blink the fact that i don't have to be stuck on the screen for the rest of the day that would give me more time to do me because all i need is my time back and thanks again for your fruitful content to me you're everything as a trader i yearn to become

[@eelco9547]

I agree with that. But when you use the lower timeframe: for example the 1 minute it doesn't take much time to find or spot a setup. And personaly I like to spend some times behind the charts, just because it is fun.

I'm doing my 19th season as a treeplanter in Central BC Canada.. up at 5 AM and out the door by 5:45 , work my ass off all day then home by 6 or 7 .. just trading xau/usd and gbp/jpy 30 min charts . Glance at the charts after work and with first coffee. If my setups there I preset it and check 12 hrs later basically. Gettin 2-4 trades a week . Going quite well ! Ya 100% work a job untill your tradings paying more

[@themasked_trader9]

The way you have explained everything…it shows how calm trader you are which a very rare quality to adapt. Thanks mate for such an insightful video!!!

[@jermainesmith2061]

Im glad ive somehow found this channel. ALL the trading videos that i have seen are about being a day trader. ..trading the 5 min or 1 min chart. I work a solid 9-5 and dont have the time to trade London or NY session. Im just conceding with myself that im going to have to be a swing trader.

[@AraKerbabian]

You've come to the right place. My strategy works for day trading as well but swing trading is where it's at 🙌🏼 total time freedom.

[@stevencapelli4448]

Been trading for 2 years now and find myself simplifying things more and more. Used to trade the 1hr and 15min, sometimes finding myself stressing and staring at the 5min. Now I’m looking at the 4hr and feeling some fresh air again. You are super correct in saying full time trading isnt a thing and you need to supplement with a job. I still work a 8-4:30 job, wife, kids, house, etc etc and needed this video to solidify that what I’m actually doing currently, in my trading, is something that can carry weight and work for me. I’m not just dreaming something up and forcing something to work. I look at the daily TF but never execute off of it. I will give it a shot and see how it goes. A 1:3 ratio win on the daily is much more profitable than a 1:3 ratio win on smaller time frames.

[@tantoui_]

Please can you enlighten me on how a 1:3 on the daily tf is more profitable than a 1:3 on a smaller tf ? If your risk is the same the profits should be the same ?

[@michal.szyszka]

20:00 - exactly. BE is only management that can be done that is not ruining our PnL. Partials are giving us mental comfort of win but like you said, they are ruining PnL. Closing while in drawdown but not at full SL same. BE is 0, so when it is hit it is like you wouldn’t take trade at all.

[@ItsKashJ]

Just bought my 3rd funded account so I'm very glad u uploaded this. I needed a little more clarity on BOS. 🙏🏽

[@AlfieThomasss_]

How’s it going brother?

[@natebarnett8956]

Thanks man, I appreciate your emphasis on time and freedom from control. You are a fresh voice.

[@tomfrantz8863]

I really like the fact that you show charts examples but also psychology, the real truth about trading. You actually refresh the trading industry for sure, big thanks for that Ara

[@jamesturcinov3596]

FANTASTIC VIDEO.. Just what I needed right now. Less is more... more specificially LESS time in front of the charts is MORE of a better trading lifestyle. Cheers to you Ara. Regards, James.

[@ՏlX]

14:40 structure on the left also had close below the recent swing low ehich have lead to loss if we took a short. Why in that situation but sell when we get BOS this time? Thank you

[@Agokingz]

I’m happy to be here brother! Thank you for making me see trading differently😊 I’m just barely 6months into the industry but trust me I feel like I’ve been doing this since with your contents! I wish you read this comment and we could connect more often!

[@claytonmurrayguitar]

This is very appealing. I'm going to do some backtesting on the 4H and see what I can come up with. I've always only wanted to make 5% a month, and so far over two years I haven't been able to do that. Maybe I need to try this method and slow down.

[@HWDominic]

I literally used the break even adjustment on my trade today. My trade shot towards my TP only to miss it by a pip. i adjusted my SL to break even, and the market eventually turned and shot through my break even SL and through my origional SL. Im a bit disapointed but the way i see it, my trade was decent and it only narroolwy missed my TP and ive come away from the whole thing without a loss.

[@davidr.8112]

A great trader once told me "don't be a dick for a tick" meaning that if price is close to your target, close the trade because if you don't, you risk 2,8R (on PnL) to win 0,2R and it's not a good risk management. If you didn't see when price reversed, it's ok, but think about it.

[@breakaway2181]

Pretty much my swing model. I use the Fib retracement level of 0.705% as my OTE. I have noticed in back testing and at the hard right edge that the 0.62% retracement level almost guarantees your entry as long as the imbalance isn't a break away gap. I have also used the fib gradients to great effect for take profit. I always take partials but thats just my model. This is a sound tutorial for any swing trader and will work. I can testify to this after many years in the Fibre market. Thanks Ara x

Prop firms have no time limit now, but they have some restrictions like you can't hold trades when PMI or CPI comes, or you can't hold trades overnight.

Some do and some don't. Those are obviously the firms to stay away from lol. The top firms don't have such silly rules, or they have dedicated swing challenge accounts.

And ya absolutely agree on taking partial profits vs set forget . I went over all my trades over last 3 months and I did partials and high win rate and obvious 45° angle equity curve but if I'd done set and forget it would have been much higher profits and smoother equity curve . Gotta be smooooth , much more professional lookin that way 100% 🤟

[@kbkdennis.]

I have learnt a lot from your videos. You have simplified trading not what the fake gurus want us to believe that trading is rocket science. How many trades do you hold at a given time? Do you wait for the trade to hit TP or SL before taking another trade or you just set your limit orders? Thank you

[@AraKerbabian]

I prefer one at a time, sometimes two.

[@RajRaju-kp4pk]

Hi I love you style of trading. I'm little confused about when selecting the range. Does the range start at the top of the whole leg or after either a choch or Bos. Please if you can make a video on this topic to clear things up if not please just reply to advise. Thank you in advance.

[@lisah7020]

Great video - how do you get comfortable holding a trade for over a week, especially when it is in profit for several days, then goes into drawdown?

[@marisawood1611]

Amazing video!! In recent months I've switched to swing trading but have had frustrations with length of time in passing challenges aa have been risking 1%. But now I think I will increase my risk to 2% to pass challenges quicker as the time taking to passing challenges is slightly soul destroying lol. Thank you! Love how you explain your strategy so simply!

It's Fractal, settings 5 periods

[@chiakaijun-hn3mv]

question here, currently im in a prop firm challenge I have 2 to 3 potential set ups, and 1 of em got hit in entry. Do I remove the other 1-2 trades that havent been hit entry? Because each trade is already 2% tho

[@Iam_free]

What's the difference between your tool and just fibo?

[@AraKerbabian]

Fibonacci is one of many features in our indicator. And it's all printed automatically so you don't have to choose the trading range yourself. It eliminates confusion. Watch the Fibonacci video on my channel and it'll explain more.

[@ACoronaaa]

It’s a great video idea however that range on the daily is suspect to me rather I see it was actually the weekly range holding up mitigating the ob, it would then have garnered you a trade from the 4H still being htf edge , with an ability to go Be much more efficiently, a daily entry does make sense at times but in accordance to the monthly imo(:

[@AraKerbabian]

Where does it end then, are you going to look at yearly charts too? What about 2 year charts? Might as well start looking at decade charts too. At some point you need to actually trade and make money rather than trying to be an analyst.. Also there were 3 different sets of examples in this video so what are you even referring to? I dont know what the point of this comment was.

[@Jordan.tic999]

I'm not where I wanna be yet but this swing trading strategy using the 4H timeframe is changing the game for me. I have a decent win rate at this point so I'm gonna up my risk and go from 0.5% risk per trade to 1% risk per trade on my challenges. Thank you Ara, you legend.

[@FuturesBrizio]

Totally agree with this especially for myself as I have gotten away from forex and now 90% futures trader. I think day trading forex is a fools errand over long run and longer term trading like this is better. I do day trade futures and enjoy that. I think this method on high time frames would be tougher on futures because of the contract time limits.

[@LOSthagod]

Also you can't swing trade with the futures prop firms. Only tick tick trader offers a 10,000 swing account

[@urbantrader7628]

Thanks Ara. seems the idea is fully technical . So, Do you take some notes on fundamentals before setting the trade?

Nope, fully technical.
