The Only Trading Strategy Prop Firms Can’t Stop

0:00 Let me guess. You've been spending a lot of money on proper roomm challenges and you're still unable to pass them. Or if you pass them, you blow them before you can even get a payout. If this is the same loop you're stuck in, welcome to this video. In today's video, I'm going to break down my exact strategy that I use to pass all these accounts and get big fat payouts, too. To start off, the main account size that I use, no matter what firm I'm on, is usually a $50,000 account. In my opinion, and in my experience, this is the best possible size to use. $100,000 accounts aren't bad for some firms, but typically I'm on $50,000 Apex accounts. Um, I do Fun and Next, I do a couple other firms as well, but $50,000 Apex accounts are the main thing that I use. So, how much do I risk per trade? Well, for $50,000 accounts, generally the TP is 53,000. And this is

0:47 important to know. So, you basically have to make $3,000 in order to pass the account for most firms. Now, if we think about trades and what you need to get $3,000, well, let's do some math here. Typically, I risk about $200 per trade. Okay, so this is typically what I risk. And when I risk $200 per trade, let's say I were to win all trades. How long would it take me to make $3,000? Well, if we do 3,000 divided by 20, that would equal about 15 trades if I won every single trade in about a 1 hour to pass the account, which is going to be minimum 15 days, generally speaking, because I only take one trade a day. And, you know, let's add some loss in there. It's probably going to take about a month. So, in my opinion, this is the perfect sweet spot at a 1 hour. 15

1:33 trades will probably take you 30 days as long as price actions been decent. And another reason why I think that's good is because you're going to get those trades in between the oner trades that you're taking that are going to be like two or three wins, especially if you get used to holding runner. So I think risking $200 is perfect because you're going to have a couple two to three hour trades. And generally speaking, you're probably only going to need like 10 wins if they're all wins to pass a challenge. Now let's add loss into this. Well, it's probably going to end up being 15 again if we add loss into it. So let's say you're to take 10 trades. Some are 1R wins, some are two RR wins, and some are three R wins. Let's say to be safe, you're up 16R, but then you take five losses and you're down five R. You're on total you're plus 11R. Now, this number will completely vary every month. It will not be the same. Some months it

2:19 might be plus 20R, some months it might be plus 5R. Hopefully, you don't have a red month, but you generally could. But this is why I think $200 is the best on a $50,000 account. Now, if you want to push it a little bit and your win rate's a little higher, then risk $300 because $300 at 11R is going to be getting you fat payouts, especially when you make it to five counts to copy trade um no matter what you do. Now, let's go over my actual strategy that allows me to get about 10R per month. Now, I'm going to use this as a basic guide to go over my model, but it's going to be super quick. It's not going to be super advanced, and I'm going to tell you the three main things I look for. This is the table of contents, and I'm not going to go over every page, but let's just show you what my actual model is. I look for two things pretty much reversals and continuations. But for the sake of this video, we're really going to be only talking about reversals. And I basically

3:04 look for an inversion for a value gap or a bullish for gap after we sweep some sort of bias to liquidity that gets inverse. And then I'm expecting price to dump to the opposing liquidity. And that is pretty much my whole method. I'm not really going to go over anything else. That's all you need to know. Let's go on the chart. So, as you can see in this example, we have a V-shaped recovery. It's really V-shaped. It sweeps the liquidity and it forms this whole reversal back to the highs. And this is generally a setup. I'm looking for a very obvious liquidity sweep where I want to see stop-loss completely ran. Okay, like this. And I want to see very bullish reaction right when we run the low. I don't want to see us dance around here. I don't want to see it slow down here. I want to see just boom boom. And you can obviously see my indicator alerted this as well, which the link for this is in the description for that. But this is what I want to see. That instant V-shapedness that just sweeps the low.

3:51 And a bonus is a fair value gap on the higher time frame, maybe you know the 15-minute or the hourly or the 4 hour to the left. Right now I am on the 5minut time frame, but any fair value gap over here to the left that we would maybe hold or bounce out of would make this setup go from like a 60% win rate to like an 80% win rate. Here's another example right here. We have a bunch of highs right here which a lot of retail traders think is going to be a double top. So what they're going to try to do is they're going to short it and then they're going to buy the breakout here and we sweep it. But not only do we sweep it, we also hit this bearish value at the left, which makes it 10 times better, which makes the win rate go from 60 to an 80% win rate. Now, this is the trade I'm taking. I'm risking about $200. The second we form that Vshape, we close under this balance price range/bullish rally gap. I'm entering

4:36 there. This is a live trade that I took in my Discord, which is kind of cool. And I'm targeting the next opposing liquidity, which usually you will have to extend your chart to the left to kind of see where that is in the left. You could target here, but kind of lower R. I like to target the higher time frame liquidity, which the left here. And for the sake of this video, I'm not going to show you it, but this is we're going to need to look for like an old low from maybe a day ago, previous day low, previous day London low, maybe a London low from overnight. Any of those are valid price target. And then one more thing, when I take a trade like this, I'm risking about $200. In this case, I'm going to put my stop loss around up here because, you know, I guess you could put it above this high, but you know, there's another bearish leg up here. But I'm going to risk about $200. My stop loss is likely going to be if we close back above this, I'll probably exit my trade. And if I win on this trade, it'll probably be like a two

5:21 hour, three hour trade, especially if I hold a runner, which if I'm putting $200 risk on this, I can make like probably $400 to 500. But some trades will not be like this. Some trades will only have a target to like here where you're only going to make $200. And that's where my risk manager comes into play where some trades are going to be good, some trades going to be higher R, some weeks are going to be higher R. It just depends on the setup and what's there to the left and if you can target anything over there. and how good we are expanding that week. But that is just a basic rundown of what I do.
