i pass any prop firm challenge using this simple Top Down Analysis Strategy (DAILY BIAS 88%)

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]So, today we went two for two on YM, one Asia session trade, and then one New York open trade. So, in today's video I'm going to be breaking down those exact setups. Now, let's go ahead and let's start off with YM. So, I'm going to post the trade ideas that I took. Um you know what? Actually, let me just go ahead and and go show you guys right now.

[00:00:18]So, pretty much this was everything that I talked about inside of the community for two. So, we had two trades today.

[00:00:24]All right, so this was actually the Asia session trade where essentially we were looking for YM to drop lower and essentially to to head down to this low.

[00:00:31]Now, I'm going to talk about the entry, the reasoning behind it, and the higher time frame bias. But, as you guys are going to be able to see, this was a beautiful 3R trade on YM. And again, same thing here during the New York open, was looking for a long after the market open. Um where we called a nice decent move, which again I was taking partials and pretty much had my first objective. It did not get to that second objective, as you guys are going to see later in the video, but these were the two trades that we took. Now, if you guys want to take these trades with me and trade live with me every single day, make sure to check out the link in the description below. Now, with that out of the way, let's go ahead and let's talk about. So, the first trade, and to be honest, this was actually one of my favorite trades.

[00:01:08]I was talking about it on stream realistically on um it was even on Wednesday. So, today is Thursday. I was looking for this sell uh based off of a very simple setup. Now, if you guys are brand new to the channel or you guys don't know anything about me, I've made hundreds of thousands of dollars in payout simply by understanding that if I can anticipate just one candle, whether that's on the daily time frame, the weekly time frame, the 4-hour, I can consistently find moves in the market.

[00:01:34]Now, in this video I'm going to be breaking down this one setup right here that I've been using as part of my arsenal. Now, this setup right here is called the pin bar play. Now, the pin bar is very simple. It's essentially a candle that takes out the prior bar high and we close back within the prior candle's range. Now, that's criteria number one.

[00:01:53]Criteria number two, there has to be a downside fair value gap beneath the pin bar candle bars low. This allows me to understand that we have a potential downside target. Now, think of it from the perspective of liquidity. The market essentially, especially because this is a daily timeframe, took out this this prior day highs. Now, taking out this prior day highs essentially just means that the market swept these highs in here, took liquidity, and we have displacement and a closure below the prior candles body inside the candle prior candle's body, we have displacement. So, we have two things, right? We have a run on stops, and we have displacement. So, the market is showing aggression away from this liquidity. Now, here's the thing.

[00:02:37]The market does one of two things, and I'm going to write this down because it's very important for you guys to really understand this, right? The market does one of two things, right?

[00:02:45]The market will either go from go from a liquidity pool to another liquidity pool.

[00:02:58]Okay? So, this essentially like So, then again, the market will probably go from like let's say from it might sweep a a high in here, and then it'll reprice usually down to another prior low, right? So, the market This is called liquidity pairing or order pairings, where the market is taking liquidity from a high and then essentially targeting a low. Now, this is one part of how the market ultimately moves, but the market will also go from liquidity to a fair value gap or vice versa, right? So, I'm just going to put vice versa. So, also it can go from a fair value gap to a liquidity pool, right? So, if I know that the market swept this high, and I know beneath this candle bar's low, we have two things, right? The market actually has a liquidity pool because this candle bar's low is a daily low. It's a previous day's low. We also have this fair value gap. So, now we have two key levels that we can look to target, especially because now we have our setup. We have this candle where it takes out the prior bar high, closes in the range. So, now we can reasonably expect the next candle to have a power of three, meaning the next candle will open, push up, reject, and then have a move lower. So, I was actually looking for this setup specifically on this day in here on Wednesday.

[00:04:09]Now, what you can do for entries is when Now, you want to go down to lower time frame.

[00:04:13]We see that we have this market leg here from swing high down to swing low. What I like to do is I like to map out the fair value gaps. So, I have this one in here, and we also have a minor one in there as well. So, again, this is the sweep on the higher time frame. On the 4-hour, we can see a clear swing high, swing low, and we have a fair value gap.

[00:04:32]So, now, once the market trades back into that area, let me just actually do this, so then All right. So, right here, the market trades into that fair value gap. This was the daily candle going into Wednesday. So, on Wednesday, um we actually didn't We had a reaction, but the market kind of traded back into this area multiple times. I was still looking for that daily fair value gap. And within structure, we know that again, if this market has a impulse leg like this, this is going to be an area where the market will re- possibly will reject and then send price lower to a new low, right? So, having this bias, it's very simple, right? We have a 4-hour structure, and we have a daily pin bar candle. So, now, what I'm looking for is clear rejections. I want to see a 4-hour confirmation. We had a 4-hour rejection, but this is not enough. And then slowly enough, we're going to see that next candle.

[00:05:18]And let me just actually >> [snorts] >> Okay, right here.

[00:05:26]Okay, I'm just going to do a play-by-play in here, so we can save time. Essentially, uh this was during the Asia session. So, during the Asia session, what did we get? Right? The market rejected here multiple times. And then what did we get here? Right, we took This candle right here is a It's a 4-hour pin bar, the same thing on the daily time frame. We take out the prior bar high, close inside the range. Now, the 1-hour time frame specifically, when I entered, it was around here. It was when this candle started to close.

[00:05:49]Because to me, we already kind of like this was a a swing high, right? A swing high is a candle that has a candle bar high, higher high, and then this candle bar's high is a lower uh lower compared to this one. So, we have a swing point. We have a swing high. Now, I'm looking for the marketplace to essentially maintain this high so we don't trade back into it. On the 4-hour closure, it was also looking like this at the time. So, I was like, "Okay, I'm just going to enter prematurely." As you guys kind of saw in the screenshot, and once the candle closed around 10:00 p.m., which was the next 4-hour bar, this is when I now this to me looked like we were essentially had a potential swing point even on the 4-hour. So, again, my entry was very simple.

[00:06:25]I shorted before that 4-hour bar closure when we formed this 1-hour swing high. I put the stop loss a few points away from this just in case maybe we tapped up into the 50% of that gap of the fair value gap, and we have our target based off the daily time frame, right? So, when you have daily time frame targets, and you can find an intraday entry, look at how I don't even have to go down to the 5-minute. I don't have to go down to the 15-minute. And then we start to see the expansion move lower, right? And now this is where we have nice expansion. This right here is This would have been a better entry if someone was available during London session. I know a couple people in my group caught this move on the retracement in London, right? Because now we have a swing high, the market will form a low, and we have a bunch of fair value gaps. We're going to see the market ultimately trade back into that fair value gap.

[00:07:10]I'm just going to play this forward cuz it's like pretty slow, right? So, again, the market comes back up into this area. I was asleep at this time. My stop loss was reduced down to here at this point, above that high. The market comes back. We trade back into this gap, and we start to break down even lower. So, again, very, very straightforward to the target and to the exact point where the market starts to reverse. This is how you use top-down analysis, and this is how you use candlesticks to be able to realistically understand these types of setups. It's very simple. It's very easy. Now, uh I'm not going to I'm going to make a separate video for the other setup because I don't want this video to be too long. But again, what I want you guys to see is how we're putting the pieces of the puzzle together. The market is going to go from a key level on the higher time frame down to an another key level. When we can identify a clear daily bias, especially something with like these candlestick setups, we know they have high probability of of actually playing out. We now can just look for market structure to show confirmation on the lower time frame.

[00:08:12]So, if again, if I have a daily uh bias based off of a daily candle, I can anticipate the power of three on the daily. I can then look for a 4-hour structural leg, key level, and I start I can start to hunt for trades in that area, right? And then you become it becomes high probability because you have clear targets, and you have clear market structure, and you're looking for trades at clear levels. And this is how you can get these really big three to one risk reward. If And mind you, like again, these are trades that if you can get even a 5-minute entry, you will have such big risk rewards, 5R, 6R, 7R. So, if you guys have any questions in regards to the setup, let me know in the comment section below. And if you want to check out these types of setups on my main channel, I'll leave the link for the description below, where I go through every single setup that I trade that has over 80% accuracy with actual proven data.
