For bullish conditions, the speaker explains that traders should look for price movements that push below the Asian range following a bullish bias. Buying on strength as price approaches the Asian range high or testing bullish entries after breaking critical resistance points is key. This will be elaborated with previous trading techniques that indicate bullish potential.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

- 00:00:10okay folks welcome back this teaching is
- 00:00:12going to be specifically dealing with
- 00:00:14implementing the Asian range alright
- 00:00:22the Asian range notice it does not say
- 00:00:25ICT Asian range I did not create this or
- 00:00:28author this concept my first
- 00:00:32introduction to it was from another
- 00:00:33trader which I'll mention later on in
- 00:00:36the presentation but what ICT concepts
- 00:00:38are going to be used in this module
- 00:00:40we're gonna be introducing the Asian
- 00:00:42range I'm going to be defining what the
- 00:00:46Asian range is in charts and I want to
- 00:00:50teach you how to utilize it in bullish
- 00:00:52conditions and how to utilize it in
- 00:00:55bearish conditions all right introducing
- 00:00:59the Asian range now what is the Asian
- 00:01:03range well the price action prior to the
- 00:01:05Frankfurt open or London opening can be
- 00:01:09very indicative of the future intraday
- 00:01:10price movement now when we have a
- 00:01:12directional bias you can use this Asian
- 00:01:15range to build or frame a context or
- 00:01:17story line to the markets likely
- 00:01:19intentions there is a stillness in price
- 00:01:22many times right before the intraday
- 00:01:25directional impulse price swing you look
- 00:01:29at the chart here on the right this is
- 00:01:30an Aussie dollar chart you can see that
- 00:01:33there is a little shaded area right in
- 00:01:36here and it's delineate 'add with the
- 00:01:41gray shaded box and I've labeled it not
- 00:01:44surprisingly the Asian range so this
- 00:01:48little piece of price action okay I
- 00:01:51actually learned about this from Chris
- 00:01:54Laurie and I'll show you what I was
- 00:01:58doing before I learned this so that way
- 00:02:00you can see I already had a beat on what
- 00:02:02price should be doing but when I first
- 00:02:05saw him refer to it in his free
- 00:02:07teachings he has a website Chris Laurie
- 00:02:11comm it's changed and morphed a little
- 00:02:14bit over time but folks that have gone
- 00:02:16through his material didn't know who I'm
- 00:02:18referring to they would not an agreement
- 00:02:21that they would know what I'm saying is
- 00:02:23true
- 00:02:24he taught about the Asian range many
- 00:02:26times in free teachings so it's not like
- 00:02:29I'm taking anything away from him
- 00:02:30in fact if you're not happy with what
- 00:02:33you see in my content but you do want to
- 00:02:36take some advice from someone that has
- 00:02:38seen a lot of things out there
- 00:02:39Chris Laurie has a lot of good price
- 00:02:42action study and his methods while they
- 00:02:46are not mine there's some similarities
- 00:02:49to what Chris does but I'm going to show
- 00:02:52you what I took away from him this is
- 00:02:53the only thing I really learned from
- 00:02:54Chris Laurie really but yeah that's not
- 00:02:57to diminish his importance as a teacher
- 00:02:59or what he knows I'm just saying that
- 00:03:00this is what I gleaned from his material
- 00:03:03I liked it because I was already
- 00:03:04familiar with using consolidations in
- 00:03:07certain periods of a training 24-hour
- 00:03:11period if you take certain ranges you
- 00:03:13can do some magical things with them and
- 00:03:15I teach you that in the mentorship and
- 00:03:17it goes well beyond what I've done in
- 00:03:19YouTube videos over the past couple of
- 00:03:21years
- 00:03:21so what I liked about it was I've seen a
- 00:03:26lot of context right away when I seen
- 00:03:29how that the range is applied to the
- 00:03:31chart so I will give you what I used to
- 00:03:34do and how I used entry techniques to do
- 00:03:37it so that way you have a little bit of
- 00:03:38a takeaway you not only just talked
- 00:03:40about the range itself but what we can
- 00:03:42do with it and then I'll show you what
- 00:03:44I've done with it to incorporate it now
- 00:03:47I'm not teaching you everything I know
- 00:03:49about this range and what I've done with
- 00:03:52it over the last mmm ten years or so the
- 00:03:56the implementation of it I think is
- 00:04:01useful for a developing trader but there
- 00:04:05has to be some context behind it the
- 00:04:07range itself doesn't produce anything
- 00:04:09magical but if you have a storyline
- 00:04:11behind what price should be doing that
- 00:04:13particular day it is unbelievably
- 00:04:16helpful okay so let's define the Asian
- 00:04:22range of work what is it that we can do
- 00:04:24in our charts to make it up here and
- 00:04:25draw attention to it well the range
- 00:04:29begins at 7:00 p.m. New York time and it
- 00:04:32ends at midnight New York time now
- 00:04:37a special inclusion here Chris Laurie
- 00:04:40had his Asian Range pushed beyond
- 00:04:43midnight if my if memory serves me
- 00:04:45correct I believe he had 12:30 a.m. and
- 00:04:49to me the financial markets really begin
- 00:04:53at midnight New York time and it
- 00:04:55probably sounds pretty arrogant of a
- 00:04:57gang like me being in the States but if
- 00:05:01you just study what I'm teaching you
- 00:05:03folks you'll see right away what I'm
- 00:05:04telling you is the gospel as it relates
- 00:05:06to intraday price actions only now
- 00:05:08everything else might be something
- 00:05:10different but as far as intraday price
- 00:05:11action I think I've cornered the market
- 00:05:12in intraday price action so the height
- 00:05:15of the range is the highest high between
- 00:05:187:00 p.m. to midnight in New York time
- 00:05:20to the lowest low between 7:00 p.m. and
- 00:05:23midnight New York time the width of the
- 00:05:27range is obviously the duration of 7:00
- 00:05:29p.m. to midnight New York time so let's
- 00:05:32take a look at this chart here and we'll
- 00:05:33get a little bit closer zoom in on it
- 00:05:38okay I'll cover some points here now
- 00:05:41right away when you see this it probably
- 00:05:44still doesn't give you any kind of
- 00:05:45insight and that's fine but I'm gonna
- 00:05:48build on it and show you how useful it
- 00:05:50is but we're gonna build the model with
- 00:05:53specific buy and sell conditions later
- 00:05:57on in this video but for now take a look
- 00:06:00at what you see here okay and kind of
- 00:06:01like Burness in your mind your focus
- 00:06:05should every single day be zeroed in on
- 00:06:087:00 p.m. New York and whatever that
- 00:06:11time is on your broker's platform
- 00:06:13whatever your charting platform or
- 00:06:15package shows find out what time it is
- 00:06:18at 7:00 p.m. New York time and then find
- 00:06:21that same time on your charts that's
- 00:06:23where you put a vertical line at and
- 00:06:25that begins the asian session and then
- 00:06:27five hours later it'll be midnight in
- 00:06:30New York time put another vertical line
- 00:06:31in and there's your Asian range defined
- 00:06:33by the duration the highest high and the
- 00:06:36lowest low is what we would use to frame
- 00:06:39out the range now there's a lot of
- 00:06:43Voodoo that you can do with this range
- 00:06:46okay and again I'm not teaching it here
- 00:06:48but believe me it can take you to the
- 00:06:50highest
- 00:06:50in the lowest pit of the day there's
- 00:06:54some things you have to incorporate in
- 00:06:55that and I teach that in the mentorship
- 00:06:56but for now let's teach you a very
- 00:06:58simple approach to how to use this and
- 00:07:00when you can filter out trades and not
- 00:07:03do anything that may end up taking a
- 00:07:06loss if you do otherwise so let's take a
- 00:07:10closer look and remove all of the
- 00:07:13benefit of seeing the price action there
- 00:07:15okay now we do have the benefit of
- 00:07:16hindsight but nonetheless I want to kind
- 00:07:18of build an understanding about what
- 00:07:21this range does or at least my
- 00:07:23interpretation of it now I was able to
- 00:07:24see right away the importance of
- 00:07:26utilizing it in my view on price action
- 00:07:31during this range what's actually
- 00:07:33happening is there's orders that are
- 00:07:35coming in and they're stacking up above
- 00:07:38the market and below the market relative
- 00:07:41to that range and it's also building up
- 00:07:44a market sentiment now this compression
- 00:07:47of market participation starts to build
- 00:07:52up closer and closer and closer until we
- 00:07:53get to midnight in New York soon as we
- 00:07:56cross over midnight time in New York we
- 00:07:59are in fertile ground for price movement
- 00:08:03we're going to assume that everyone in
- 00:08:08this listening audience is familiar with
- 00:08:10channels ok or trading ranges the idea
- 00:08:14is above this range there's going to be
- 00:08:17buy orders those buy odors are going to
- 00:08:21act as breakout artists ok in other
- 00:08:24words they are not astute to know how to
- 00:08:27buy when it's a low price or technically
- 00:08:32oversold without the use of indicators
- 00:08:34so they just want to be buying on
- 00:08:36strength and there's really nothing
- 00:08:37inherently wrong about that if you know
- 00:08:39what you're looking for but most traders
- 00:08:41don't know what you're looking for and
- 00:08:43they just go in any willy nilly and
- 00:08:44entry based on breaking out above a know
- 00:08:47high they'll buy that and view that as
- 00:08:48strengths and I'll put the stop-loss
- 00:08:50right below the low which would be here
- 00:08:52short sellers would do the opposite they
- 00:08:56would have their sell orders below this
- 00:08:58range so any movement lower would
- 00:09:01hopefully put them in a short position
- 00:09:03and they would take the other
- 00:09:04end of that range and put their
- 00:09:06protective by stop so buyers that want
- 00:09:08to break out above this consolidation
- 00:09:10are going to buy want to stop with a
- 00:09:14protective cell stop below the low
- 00:09:17short sellers want to sell on a stop and
- 00:09:20use a protective buy stop above the high
- 00:09:23okay so the storyline is what are we
- 00:09:26gonna do after midnight which is this
- 00:09:30vertical line here
- 00:09:31what's the storyline where are we going
- 00:09:32to go my whole entire career has been
- 00:09:36based on understanding dis phenomena and
- 00:09:39it's been a more or less a pursuit of
- 00:09:43excellence so I want to know with the
- 00:09:46highest probability which side are they
- 00:09:49gonna work on okay and what I mean by
- 00:09:51that is are they going to try to put a
- 00:09:54specific party of traders whether people
- 00:09:56wish or bearish traders in on the wrong
- 00:09:58side right before London creates what
- 00:10:01the higher low of the day so the key is
- 00:10:06and this is to take away so far in us
- 00:10:08this is what should be even in your
- 00:10:09notes right now is what you're looking
- 00:10:12for what sets up the opportunity if you
- 00:10:15will for the particular trading day is
- 00:10:17if we have a very narrow consolidated
- 00:10:20range between 7:00 p.m. and midnight or
- 00:10:23what would be deemed as the Asian range
- 00:10:25so if we have a very narrow
- 00:10:27consolidation there that sets up a huge
- 00:10:30possibility of the algorithm going into
- 00:10:34a trending model okay so in other words
- 00:10:36without going into IFTA and teaching
- 00:10:38anything really about that the market
- 00:10:42will seek the liquidity above or below
- 00:10:44this range with a premise that it's
- 00:10:49going to put them in the wrong side and
- 00:10:53then it'll go the other way for the
- 00:10:55remainder of the trading day
- 00:11:02okay so let's take a look at how it can
- 00:11:04utilize it in a bullish condition now
- 00:11:07the periods when price is bullish we can
- 00:11:09extend the age and range high and low
- 00:11:11into the future when price returns back
- 00:11:14to the Asian range high we can
- 00:11:16anticipate institutional buying let's
- 00:11:20take a look at that as an example here
- 00:11:23we're going to assume that we have in
- 00:11:25understanding our expectation if you
- 00:11:27will that the Aussie dollar was bullish
- 00:11:29for this particular day now if you want
- 00:11:32to know what would blend well to coming
- 00:11:35to that conclusion of being bullish if
- 00:11:37you look at the daily chart you'll see
- 00:11:39that there was a reason for the Aussie
- 00:11:42dollar reached up to a equal high okay
- 00:11:45and go down to a four hour or one hour
- 00:11:47chart you'll see also that it's obvious
- 00:11:51you can see it so far what we've shown
- 00:11:52in the teachings in this series it's
- 00:11:55been pretty obvious to know where the
- 00:11:57liquidity is and that's what this whole
- 00:11:59day was reaching for the buy stops above
- 00:12:01equal high now again I want to take off
- 00:12:07the Asian range and provide just a blank
- 00:12:11chart okay and assume for a moment pre
- 00:12:16my exposure okay to asian range this is
- 00:12:20what I used to do okay this is how I
- 00:12:22actually traded and I was doing this
- 00:12:24since 1994 so you'll appreciate
- 00:12:28hopefully the evolution if you will of
- 00:12:32my understanding about how this whole
- 00:12:34buying below the open when it's bullish
- 00:12:37or selling above the open when it's
- 00:12:39bearish all those ideas came from this
- 00:12:44individual specific element that I'm
- 00:12:47going to show you now I would have on my
- 00:12:50chart a list of all kinds of indicators
- 00:12:52okay so I'm gonna spare you all that but
- 00:12:54if we just look at price actions as a
- 00:12:57naked form of open high low and close it
- 00:13:01can be rather
- 00:13:05well confusing but if you look for
- 00:13:08specific times of the day and specific
- 00:13:10generic concepts or characteristics that
- 00:13:13should manifest themselves then there's
- 00:13:16a storyline that will start to develop
- 00:13:18and you get this over the years many
- 00:13:20times it's referred to as tapereading
- 00:13:23many times it's referred to as gut
- 00:13:25feeling or just triggers intuition or
- 00:13:27just last I call it intuition and
- 00:13:30experience if you will once you know
- 00:13:33what you're looking for you wait for
- 00:13:36that scenario to unfold so this is what
- 00:13:37I would have done without the Asian
- 00:13:39range this is how I always treated the
- 00:13:40SP the bond market and currency futures
- 00:13:44I would get the opening price at
- 00:13:47midnight okay and that opening price is
- 00:13:50seen here right there and all I do is
- 00:13:53draw that opening price out all the way
- 00:13:55out until 11 o'clock in the morning New
- 00:13:58York time now the reason why I would
- 00:14:00draw it out to 11 o'clock in the morning
- 00:14:02New York time is because that would be
- 00:14:04the end of the morning trend for the S&P
- 00:14:07500 okay so that there's a reason for
- 00:14:10that hour it's not that I'm just pulling
- 00:14:12it number out of the air it's also very
- 00:14:15close to what was taught in the previous
- 00:14:18teaching the London close so that's what
- 00:14:21makes that London close scenario it's
- 00:14:24the end of the a.m. trend when the stock
- 00:14:26market or equities market in the states
- 00:14:28also it overlaps conveniently enough
- 00:14:32with the close of London trading so
- 00:14:35there's a little bit of manipulation
- 00:14:37that goes on in there and some profit
- 00:14:38taking so it creates an opportunity but
- 00:14:41for opening range concepts I draw it out
- 00:14:44to 11 o'clock in the morning New York
- 00:14:46time okay so if we are looking for a
- 00:14:51bullish scenario and I'm gonna just make
- 00:14:54the case that we would be expecting a
- 00:14:56higher Aussie dollar here I want to see
- 00:15:00price initially drop down below that
- 00:15:03opening price because I want to be
- 00:15:05buying below the opening price the
- 00:15:07understanding is is I want to figure out
- 00:15:08what Larry Williams said he couldn't do
- 00:15:11as a teacher I took it as a challenge as
- 00:15:14a student that that's what I'm gonna
- 00:15:16look for I'm gonna figure that out and
- 00:15:17this is what my interpretation
- 00:15:19of how to do that very thing was seen in
- 00:15:22price action I would use the opening
- 00:15:24price and as it dropped down
- 00:15:25I would buy right there now if I either
- 00:15:28did not have the guts to do that
- 00:15:30or I missed the opportunity sometimes I
- 00:15:33would wait for a specific price it
- 00:15:34wouldn't get there and then it would
- 00:15:35take off if I saw a reversal or
- 00:15:39potential reversal I would look at the
- 00:15:42high rate but right before the drop down
- 00:15:45in here you can see there was a small
- 00:15:48little segment of price action right
- 00:15:50before that drop down I would put a buy
- 00:15:54stop right there now as I graduated in
- 00:15:57my understanding I would look to get in
- 00:16:00as price was dropping down but I'd also
- 00:16:04have this buy stop in place even if I
- 00:16:08was able to get in many times price
- 00:16:11would sometimes snap me in and put me in
- 00:16:14own a buy stop and on my marker order as
- 00:16:16price was dropping down so in other
- 00:16:17words what I was doing was I was waiting
- 00:16:19for price to drop down below this
- 00:16:21horizontal line or a trend line segment
- 00:16:24here okay that's delineating open price
- 00:16:26at midnight in New York time the drop
- 00:16:28down below that I'm hopefully trying to
- 00:16:30buy that now as it starts to drop my eye
- 00:16:34goes right here because now we're below
- 00:16:36the opening price it may go lower and
- 00:16:39give me my ultimate price of entry but
- 00:16:42it may not so as soon as it starts to
- 00:16:45break down after midnight and it goes
- 00:16:46back to back down below the opening
- 00:16:48price I immediately add a buy stop to
- 00:16:50half the position I want to trade at
- 00:16:54this point here so in other words if my
- 00:16:55full position down here was say ten
- 00:16:56standard Lots I would go in with a buy
- 00:17:00stop at five standard Lots right here so
- 00:17:02that way at worst case scenario if I
- 00:17:04don't get my fill here and it reverses
- 00:17:06if you will and runs real quick for
- 00:17:09these highs it'll put me at least half
- 00:17:12the position I wanted to get on down
- 00:17:13here so half of something is better than
- 00:17:15nothing if I were able to put on the
- 00:17:18full position down here I would still
- 00:17:20try to take
- 00:17:23this stop-off if I get my full position
- 00:17:24on down here sometimes I wasn't able to
- 00:17:27do that now the problem is and your mind
- 00:17:30is okay what happens if you put your
- 00:17:31pole position down here and you're
- 00:17:33risking 2% well I wasn't risking 2% so
- 00:17:37I'm trading at 1% 1/2 percent and then
- 00:17:40this position here if it fills me I'm
- 00:17:42not over leverage or if I do get one
- 00:17:46half percent on here and this half here
- 00:17:48it would technically put me over
- 00:17:49two-and-a-half percent risk but I'm
- 00:17:51gonna be more aggressive about trying my
- 00:17:54initial stop-loss up to try to pare that
- 00:17:55down to 2% okay and that's really what I
- 00:17:59was doing now let's contrast what I just
- 00:18:01did here with the implementation of the
- 00:18:05agent range and this is exactly where
- 00:18:07price would fill you with that buy stop
- 00:18:10being tripped so now I would be long
- 00:18:13here if I didn't get filled down here
- 00:18:14below the opening price at midnight this
- 00:18:16would be where my buy stop with filming
- 00:18:18and my stop loss would be below the low
- 00:18:20and you can see I had to weather this
- 00:18:22retracement here and then because he
- 00:18:25gets the move later on in the day now
- 00:18:27let's take this discussion back the
- 00:18:29implementation of the Asian range and
- 00:18:31I'll show you how I evolved and seen a
- 00:18:35much clearer view on price action using
- 00:18:38the range as I define it here 7 o'clock
- 00:18:40p.m. New York time to midnight zero zero
- 00:18:43level not like 12:30 or 1:00 o'clock in
- 00:18:46the morning on that stuff exactly at
- 00:18:48midnight ok because what we're banking
- 00:18:51on is the midnight opening price that's
- 00:18:54what sets the algorithm it goes through
- 00:18:58it goes to a reset if basically if you
- 00:19:00if you want to think of it like that so
- 00:19:02if we're bullish it's going to go below
- 00:19:04that opening price to seek liquidity and
- 00:19:06then go higher and spend the rest of the
- 00:19:11day going higher when it's bearish it'll
- 00:19:13go above the opening price at midnight
- 00:19:14to reach for liquidity and then move
- 00:19:18lower for several hours going into
- 00:19:19London closed or New York open so
- 00:19:24let's take a look at what's going on
- 00:19:26with the implementation of the agent
- 00:19:28range now we have a tight asian range in
- 00:19:31here okay and again by odors are above
- 00:19:34the range sellers are below the range
- 00:19:36price right after midnight does what
- 00:19:39goes up and taps the asian range high
- 00:19:42now you're saying okay well it didn't go
- 00:19:45above it let your stop be there and I
- 00:19:49guarantee you the broker spread will
- 00:19:51open up wide enough to get that and
- 00:19:53you'll be in long and your stop-loss
- 00:19:55which will be right that low or just
- 00:19:57below it will be tagged right there even
- 00:20:01though it reflects here your broker and
- 00:20:03this is what you sign up with when you
- 00:20:05open up your account you are giving them
- 00:20:08permission to open the spreads up on you
- 00:20:12everybody makes this big complaint about
- 00:20:14oh well they did this they did that you
- 00:20:16sign it and you agree to it so when you
- 00:20:19see people online saying a date rig with
- 00:20:21three pip stop losses that's not true
- 00:20:24it's not accurate and they are not doing
- 00:20:25it with live accounts because believe me
- 00:20:27in-house plenty money gains with the
- 00:20:29brokers would eat them up immediately it
- 00:20:33would not happen okay I think personally
- 00:20:35with a stop loss of anything less than
- 00:20:4010 pips is just ludicrous it's stupid
- 00:20:42okay because Begley is from a retail
- 00:20:46brokers standpoint you're inviting them
- 00:20:48to take your stock it's just way it is
- 00:20:51you can argue with me and give me all
- 00:20:53kinds of track history and say well I'm
- 00:20:54trading with a five pip stop here and
- 00:20:55there it's fine
- 00:20:56do it ten years and see how many times
- 00:20:58get burned the point is why offer
- 00:21:01yourself up on the altar for that
- 00:21:03sacrifice when there's better ways of
- 00:21:06doing it you don't have to have less
- 00:21:09than 10 pip stop losses to do very well
- 00:21:11we have an Asian range in here with the
- 00:21:14understanding or in this model we're
- 00:21:15gonna expect bullishness okay and price
- 00:21:19starts to go up initially and comes back
- 00:21:23down and breaks the asian range down
- 00:21:25here so we take out the low on the asian
- 00:21:29range that's been extended beyond
- 00:21:31midnight that trips in sellers and it
- 00:21:34also knocks out individuals that would
- 00:21:35have been pulled in on a buy stop right
- 00:21:38at this level so long holders are in and
- 00:21:40now they're out short holders are in now
- 00:21:44and their stop-loss is above here or
- 00:21:46here so they're taking both sides of the
- 00:21:49marketplace in and out and then the
- 00:21:52market takes off goes higher what we
- 00:21:55look for is this little movement right
- 00:21:58here that movement is what sets the tone
- 00:22:02when we're bullish we want to be buying
- 00:22:04there or we can do what I showed earlier
- 00:22:07you can put a buy stop right here if it
- 00:22:09gets filled a contingent order that
- 00:22:14would be if I'm filled with your broker
- 00:22:16for cancer order basically if we have a
- 00:22:19parent contingent order suggesting they
- 00:22:22who buy on a stop if that stock gets
- 00:22:25filled if it happens then we would place
- 00:22:27a sell stop below this low at some
- 00:22:29specific price level and you could leave
- 00:22:33that in the marketplace and go to sleep
- 00:22:34and don't even worry about watching all
- 00:22:36this stuff okay that's one way you can
- 00:22:38apply a day traders model and/or enter
- 00:22:43with a long term model but using a day
- 00:22:45traders approach to trading that whole
- 00:22:47entry if you've missed this one okay and
- 00:22:52price starts to rally away we have to
- 00:22:54have the story line behind this example
- 00:22:56of being bullish otherwise this could be
- 00:22:58an easy sell as you'll see when we talk
- 00:23:02about when the conditions are bearish
- 00:23:03but knowing where the market is most
- 00:23:06likely trying to go from a higher time
- 00:23:08frame standpoint is significant and
- 00:23:11crucial and utilization of the Asian
- 00:23:13range otherwise you're just going to do
- 00:23:15some things that aren't going to be
- 00:23:16profitable so if we're bullish we'd like
- 00:23:20to see this element here and then this
- 00:23:22here no problem we don't need to get
- 00:23:24that and we don't need to be a part of
- 00:23:26this movie or okay we wouldn't wait for
- 00:23:27price to come back down and touch the
- 00:23:30Asian range high now it does so here
- 00:23:33that's a little early and then we do it
- 00:23:35again in the New York open so New York
- 00:23:38open we see price trading back to the
- 00:23:40Asian range high right there is where
- 00:23:43institutional buying is going to step in
- 00:23:45why are they doing that because the
- 00:23:47initial range that was set between 7:00
- 00:23:49p.m. and midnight
- 00:23:52midnight is when HIPAA the interbank
- 00:23:54price delivery algorithm resets and then
- 00:23:58it it attacks
- 00:23:59open liquidity or the open flow which
- 00:24:03would be the order table of the agent
- 00:24:04range and below the agent range all
- 00:24:06right you know you're gonna know 15
- 00:24:08different people that work at a bank or
- 00:24:10they know somebody they smoke cigars
- 00:24:11with on the weekends in the air market
- 00:24:13maker they're gonna say what I just said
- 00:24:14to you is nonsense but I'm telling you
- 00:24:17they don't know what you're talking
- 00:24:19about because I'm doing this daily to
- 00:24:22the PIP week after week day after day
- 00:24:24and I'm telling you it's not based on
- 00:24:26anything else except for what I learned
- 00:24:28okay and some of the things are gonna go
- 00:24:31in the category of tinfoil hat and I'll
- 00:24:34just let you wrestle with that I don't
- 00:24:36really care about your opinion just know
- 00:24:38that what I'm suggesting to you here if
- 00:24:40you look at it in price action it's
- 00:24:42there so we can see the optimal trade
- 00:24:44entry from this low to this high retrace
- 00:24:48back down New York open overlap with the
- 00:24:51Asian range high with the story line is
- 00:24:53that we're bullish on the higher time
- 00:24:54frame beautiful illustration of a Asian
- 00:24:58range application in bullish conditions
- 00:25:00in an off to the races we go so we have
- 00:25:04two opportunities in here in the New
- 00:25:07York open and we have one set up here
- 00:25:09that gives us a really really low and
- 00:25:12entry point with very little risk in
- 00:25:15terms of our entry and then the
- 00:25:18subsequent move higher
- 00:25:19the other portion would be entering on a
- 00:25:23stop here above the Asian range but you
- 00:25:25wait you have to sit up and you have to
- 00:25:27wait for price to drop down below the
- 00:25:30Asian range then you buy want to break
- 00:25:32above the asian range high but the
- 00:25:34conditions have to be bullish and we
- 00:25:36have to first see Asian range low break
- 00:25:38then a buy stock can be placed at the
- 00:25:40Asian range high if you do this before
- 00:25:42the Asian range low is taken you will
- 00:25:45get burned you will get stopped out you
- 00:25:47will send me email saying doesn't work
- 00:25:49I'm telling you there's rules here and
- 00:25:52it just gave them to you rewind the
- 00:25:53video and listen to it again
- 00:25:55it's very clear
- 00:26:01all right say utilization of the Asian
- 00:26:03range in bears conditions okay again
- 00:26:06like we said but when it's bullish
- 00:26:07there's a period it's quiet right before
- 00:26:10the Frankfurt and London open and we
- 00:26:12wouldn't focusing on that and when it's
- 00:26:14in a tight narrow consolidation we're
- 00:26:16gonna be looking for some measure of
- 00:26:18manipulation if you will on price action
- 00:26:20so what we're going to doing is waiting
- 00:26:23for a break in the Asian range low and
- 00:26:25then when price trades back up to it
- 00:26:27we're going to be anticipating
- 00:26:28institutional selling so let's take a
- 00:26:31closer look at this example here
- 00:26:33zoom in here get some more detail now
- 00:26:36let this image burnin for a minute okay
- 00:26:40and now we're going to take it off and
- 00:26:43go to an element of naked price action
- 00:26:47and I'm gonna show you what I was doing
- 00:26:50prior to learning about the Asian range
- 00:26:55there's the opening price again this
- 00:26:58candle and I would be looking for
- 00:27:01bearish price movement and if we're
- 00:27:04going to just suspend your disbelief
- 00:27:06whether or not I was actually bears
- 00:27:08before this day or not trust me and go
- 00:27:10through my Twitter you'll see all kinds
- 00:27:12of examples of me doing this very thing
- 00:27:14but nonetheless we're gonna sue for sake
- 00:27:18of argument that we're bearish on this
- 00:27:20particular currency that day okay we're
- 00:27:23gonna be looking for price movement
- 00:27:25above the opening price that's what I'm
- 00:27:27looking for here okay now I learned
- 00:27:29early on that these levels these double
- 00:27:32tops they were fake outz and that's why
- 00:27:36I loved the turtle soup trading pattern
- 00:27:39that I learned in a book called street
- 00:27:40smarts and if you don't have it you
- 00:27:42should buy it's a very very good book
- 00:27:43but that pattern in there resonated with
- 00:27:46me because I was already doing things
- 00:27:47similar to that and I would just look
- 00:27:50for those equal highs and equal lows
- 00:27:52which I've already taught you in this
- 00:27:53series and right away there's a large
- 00:27:55number of you in our community that are
- 00:27:57just going through the roof right now
- 00:27:59with excitement cuz now you see
- 00:28:00something that's always been there but
- 00:28:02now you see it and it's useful to you
- 00:28:05you can see where price is drawn to well
- 00:28:07if we see this time of day this is
- 00:28:09midnight and we're bearish we have equal
- 00:28:11highs in here right away I want to know
- 00:28:14there's going to be a rally above the
- 00:28:16opening price and I extend that out in
- 00:28:17time about love o'clock in the morning
- 00:28:19New York time and any time price trades
- 00:28:22above that opening price and it's inside
- 00:28:25of a kill zone that means the London or
- 00:28:30New York open kill zone if it trades
- 00:28:33above that opening price I will look to
- 00:28:34go short now if we go above it and this
- 00:28:40is what I was doing before I started
- 00:28:41incorporating the Asian range concept I
- 00:28:43would just simply look for this rally
- 00:28:44above if I got this scenario here I was
- 00:28:47selling right there
- 00:28:48I would sell short the SP I would sell
- 00:28:51short Deutschmark I would sell short the
- 00:28:53Swiss franc I would swell the and all
- 00:28:56those commodity futures contracts that's
- 00:28:59what I would that was my entry technique
- 00:29:00right there and then I would go to sleep
- 00:29:02and wake up around 5 o'clock and more
- 00:29:04and hopefully I'd get some profit and I
- 00:29:06would take something off try my
- 00:29:08stop-loss really really tight sometimes
- 00:29:09get stopped out other times it would
- 00:29:11carry right on over into Globex into
- 00:29:13open outcry in the pits and then I would
- 00:29:16catch some more follow-through in the
- 00:29:19day session hours in the New York
- 00:29:20session but if that's my entry point
- 00:29:26there just like anybody else life may
- 00:29:30get in the way I may get sick my kids
- 00:29:33may be complaining about growing pains
- 00:29:35and I can't be in front of my charts you
- 00:29:37know this happens you know I'm a dad I'm
- 00:29:39a husband I own - I'm a pet parent own
- 00:29:43two boxers and anything can happen
- 00:29:46okay the distract me from actually
- 00:29:48getting in where I want to get in it I
- 00:29:49don't always use limit orders there are
- 00:29:51certain conditions where I want to use a
- 00:29:52limit order but mainly I want to be
- 00:29:55executing rate when the markets
- 00:29:57happening to be trading against my
- 00:29:59directional bias for the day I don't
- 00:30:02mind market order some folks that say
- 00:30:04you shouldn't be using market orders you
- 00:30:05know they should be using limit orders
- 00:30:07again that goes along with not knowing
- 00:30:09what I do I'm actually trading
- 00:30:12aggressively rate as the markets
- 00:30:14screaming higher I go marketing selling
- 00:30:16short rate than in there and you seen my
- 00:30:18examples I'm getting in there rate to
- 00:30:19highs and order very lows so I don't
- 00:30:22care what anybody else's opinion is I
- 00:30:23can do it over and over again you're not
- 00:30:25repeatedly showing it week after week
- 00:30:28if you are up in a week looking at lemon
- 00:30:31you can use market orders but if I am
- 00:30:34NOT going to be awake I will put a limit
- 00:30:36order in about two pips above these
- 00:30:39equal highs my limit order would be
- 00:30:41about bear and my stop-loss will be
- 00:30:42about 35 to 40 pips and I would go to
- 00:30:45sleep and be comfortable with that ok I
- 00:30:48would have an 80 pip take profit on the
- 00:30:51full position that way if I did wake up
- 00:30:54and it moved an accelerated pace and
- 00:30:56move 80 pips that would be 5 pips over
- 00:30:59my weekly objective which is 75 pips I'm
- 00:31:02always aiming for fifty seventy five
- 00:31:03pips only for a weekly objective once I
- 00:31:05do that I'm done trading I don't do
- 00:31:06anything else but I leave myself the
- 00:31:09opportunity to catch a tiger by the tail
- 00:31:11if I wake up and the markets already
- 00:31:13moved 80 pips I'm done for the week and
- 00:31:15I didn't do anything but sleep in the
- 00:31:17whole process but if I miss this
- 00:31:21opportunity okay if I miss it my eyes go
- 00:31:25rate to the low that form prior to that
- 00:31:28run above the opening price when I'm
- 00:31:30bearish so I'm going to place a sell
- 00:31:32stop to get me in now sell stops
- 00:31:35gentlemen you understand them as a
- 00:31:37protective basis or mechanism to protect
- 00:31:41your long position if there is no long
- 00:31:43position and you place a sell stop it's
- 00:31:46going to put you in short and that's
- 00:31:47what I'd be expecting to see happen here
- 00:31:50so in price drops down I could be short
- 00:31:53there and my stop-loss
- 00:31:54would be above the high today so let's
- 00:31:56assume for a moment that I missed this
- 00:31:58opportunity here and I just can't stay
- 00:32:01up something happens you know my wife is
- 00:32:04getting ready have a baby this has
- 00:32:06happened I had to take a trade so I'm
- 00:32:10you know I have to trade folks okay it
- 00:32:13is what it is okay and I had to hear
- 00:32:14about it on the way to the hospital that
- 00:32:16day but nonetheless you know this is
- 00:32:19this is real-life stuff here folks so if
- 00:32:22I miss the opportunity to get in okay
- 00:32:24and and the Swiss franc is looking to go
- 00:32:26lower I'm gonna place a sell stop a
- 00:32:29little swing low right before the rally
- 00:32:31above the opening price with the
- 00:32:32expectation that if this order fails it
- 00:32:35will place a protective buy stop above
- 00:32:37the high + 3 pips and then again same
- 00:32:40scenario I would
- 00:32:41take profit of 50 tips which is a low
- 00:32:44and I make weekly objective and that's
- 00:32:46it I don't trail my stop
- 00:32:48I do not trail stops I do not have a
- 00:32:51mechanism that trails my stop-loss
- 00:32:53slower because I don't think it should
- 00:32:54be done okay
- 00:32:56I teach taking partials is the better
- 00:32:57way to go and leave your stop-loss where
- 00:33:00you initially put it manage the risk
- 00:33:02from taking partials and then slowly
- 00:33:04move it down after New York trading
- 00:33:05starts because if you're gonna get a big
- 00:33:08grain today like we see here you want to
- 00:33:10trail the stop-loss after New York has
- 00:33:12done its retracement if we take the
- 00:33:14conversation back to the utilization of
- 00:33:17the Asian range we can see here what's
- 00:33:20actually happening is we have a tight
- 00:33:21narrow consolidation and we're bearish
- 00:33:24now think we have folks that want to buy
- 00:33:26on the breakout they get tripped in with
- 00:33:28the move above the asian range high here
- 00:33:30so now what are they they're long wears
- 00:33:32their stuff lots gonna be at right below
- 00:33:34that low mark goes right down below
- 00:33:36there to take their stops notice it
- 00:33:37doesn't just go a little bit it goes
- 00:33:39conveniently 10 pips below it it's gonna
- 00:33:42sweep out anybody that has a stop loss
- 00:33:44at or just below that low and using that
- 00:33:47little tail over here they think that
- 00:33:49they're safe they're not the real move
- 00:33:51is running above the asian range high
- 00:33:54after the buys have been put in then
- 00:33:57taken out driven back up again why
- 00:34:00because short sellers that we're lucky
- 00:34:02enough to try to sell short at the top
- 00:34:04of this channel or trading range they're
- 00:34:06making money here they're not going to
- 00:34:08be allowed to be profitable they run on
- 00:34:10their stops which would be a buy stop
- 00:34:12run above these highs that's where
- 00:34:15you're looking to be a seller this is
- 00:34:17the lowest risk high probability entry
- 00:34:20for using the Asian range if we wait for
- 00:34:25the Asian range low to be broken
- 00:34:29and it reads back up to it that's the
- 00:34:31other entry point using the Asian range
- 00:34:33so we can see there's two ways of using
- 00:34:35this range selling above the Asian range
- 00:34:38high when we're bearish best scenario
- 00:34:40especially if you have the centering
- 00:34:42that's been outlined here understand the
- 00:34:45storyline you have to have a bias on the
- 00:34:48day and do not change gears based on all
- 00:34:53this little movement here you have to
- 00:34:55stick to what your analysis is calling
- 00:34:57for our time frame is going to go lower
- 00:34:59so we want to be looking for the market
- 00:35:02to take out the Asian range high if that
- 00:35:05happens we could sell short there or the
- 00:35:08low risk confirmation trade is wait for
- 00:35:10the Asian range low the break and then
- 00:35:12trade back up to it and then we can sell
- 00:35:14there okay and if it happens to occur
- 00:35:17during an ICT kill zone London open or
- 00:35:19New York open their probabilities go
- 00:35:22through the roof in terms of being well
- 00:35:25accurate and then you can see that
- 00:35:28unfolding your charts if you go through
- 00:35:29the the charts with this in mind okay
- 00:35:34just put the asian range on and paint
- 00:35:37them manually I know you all want
- 00:35:39indicators and pop this up and empty for
- 00:35:42this and empty for that physically draw
- 00:35:45them in spend some time in the charts
- 00:35:47get intimate with price action because
- 00:35:49it's going to teach you a lot more I had
- 00:35:51to do this stuff with charts that were
- 00:35:54you know drew hand-drawn like I I had
- 00:35:57well session with printed charts so I
- 00:36:01would print out charts and I would do
- 00:36:02all these things by hand and a ruler and
- 00:36:04a magic marker and highlighter that's
- 00:36:06the stuff I used to do and then I'm
- 00:36:08convinced that's what made me good at it
- 00:36:10being lazy about this okay what you're
- 00:36:14really saying is is I don't really have
- 00:36:15time to really study it just give me the
- 00:36:17lipstick on the chart and then there it
- 00:36:19is you will not get the same level of
- 00:36:22appreciation or understanding if you
- 00:36:25short cut it draw the levels on as I
- 00:36:29taught so by taking the time to draw
- 00:36:31this out manually and reminding yourself
- 00:36:33okay maybe even be worth taking the time
- 00:36:36to type out a notation you know in this
- 00:36:40in this area here
- 00:36:42to not focus one two movements below the
- 00:36:46age range okay focus primarily on a move
- 00:36:50above the Asian range high when we're
- 00:36:54bearish and/or if we break the low the
- 00:36:58Asian range after midnight wait for a
- 00:37:01retest uniform for resistance now think
- 00:37:06about what you're seeing here if we look
- 00:37:09at price action like this if what if we
- 00:37:12don't use the asian range concept here
- 00:37:14as i'm outlining the question is is why
- 00:37:18would this be a selling point i mean
- 00:37:22granted you know you can go back to this
- 00:37:24low here and say well that's probably a
- 00:37:26reason for it but would you really look
- 00:37:28at that after seeing this and then this
- 00:37:31movement through yeah without this in
- 00:37:34sight chances are you're probably not
- 00:37:36going to see this actual scenario and
- 00:37:38that's just a difference between
- 00:37:39understanding tape reading and building
- 00:37:42context behind price and also sticking
- 00:37:45with a bias it's important to know what
- 00:37:47a trading bias is for any given day and
- 00:37:49anyone that tells you don't trade with a
- 00:37:51bias they're the ones that are telling
- 00:37:53you that because they don't know how to
- 00:37:55do it I've given many examples on how
- 00:37:56you can arrive at a daily bias and
- 00:37:59you're not gonna get a daily bias that's
- 00:38:00accurate every single day so don't let
- 00:38:01me paint that picture for you but I can
- 00:38:05be in the upper 90s in terms of my
- 00:38:06probabilities and directional bias if
- 00:38:09you can get just 65 to 70 percent
- 00:38:12accuracy with or with your bias and then
- 00:38:15wait for conditions like I'm showing you
- 00:38:16here adding time of day
- 00:38:19kill zones daily bias focusing was the
- 00:38:23Asian range we've already looked at
- 00:38:25power three it builds the entire model
- 00:38:29for the daily range and you are not
- 00:38:32surprised when certain things happen in
- 00:38:33fact you're anticipating them before
- 00:38:35they happen and by seeing day after day
- 00:38:38after day of doing this you become much
- 00:38:41better at well interpreting price action
- 00:38:44and forecasting which is a skill set
- 00:38:47that you cannot learn from reading books
- 00:38:49or watching my videos you have to spend
- 00:38:51time in the charts and if you do that I
- 00:38:53promise you you will glean more
- 00:38:56that than anything else that you would
- 00:38:58ever study I hope you enjoyed this
