Good evening teacher, I hope you are well. First of all, thank you for all the teaching you have provided both on your social networks and on KZfaq. I have also seen and repeated your strategy in swing trading mode. And I have a couple of questions that I would like to tell you and if you are in the time to answer me and clarify these doubts, I will be eternally grateful. The first is, what is the name of the indicator that you use to mark the swing high and low. And the second is, if before placing a trade, in this case in 4H, you rely on a Daily OB, to search in this case for the trade until the next breakout, whether bullish or bearish. To be honest, I have translated this message and I don't know if Google is translating it correctly hahaha, since I don't speak English much, because I am from Latin America, but, so as not to bother you anymore and use up your little time, can you please help me with those two questions... Without anything else to add, I send you a big hug from Chile to wherever you are, teacher...

I have just sat here all day watching your content for hours and also watched a few videos on repeat and I have to say the way you explain things is great so clear and precise. It's truly amazing how simple you have made things I'm currently in the process of moving to swing trading because as you said the smaller time frames just take to much chart time and to be perfectly honest i have been a slave to the charts for the past 3 years and had enough. After watching these videos and then reflecting back on the charts it is clear to me I won't be going back to day trading and honestly couldn't thank you enough for taking the time to create and edit these videos for the benefit of others when you didn't need to keep up the good work youtube needs more transparent people like you who aren't just trying to get money from people through courses once again thanks for everything.

Great strategy overall. One thing I noticed is that it is not a good idea mathematically to split entry and your lossing streak shows why. When you are loosing you are lossing both positions ALWAYS so 1R, problem is that when you are winning, sometimes you will be tagged only to one entry for 0.5R and your winner will be only 1.25 with 1:2.5 RR. Split entry is fucking up your PnL.
