### Segment 1 (00:00 - 05:00) []

You're tired of stringing together a couple winning days only to lose the whole momentum in 1 hour of one single session. Well, in this video, I'm going to walk you through how to adjust your trading strategy to match the market condition. This is all about when to expect big moves and when to taper back your trading. Plus, I'm going to show you my very own personal strategy on how I enter using thirds. Let's dive in this video. I got a lot of value to share. So, one of the first things to understand when you're deciding what type of market condition you're in is there's different things that create the condition you're looking for. There's two types of market environments. One is called a consolidation and that's 70% of the time that it occurs in the market. Now, this is over a long period. Uh some periods will exceed that percentage. It's not a hard set number, but it's estimation over long periods of time. And the second condition is a trending market and that trending market occurs about 30% of the time. Now, important thing to realize is many traders build their strategies around catching the trend. That in their mind is where the most amount of opportunity is. But, if you're planning to get the most amount of opportunity in the least amount of time, the 70% of times where you're not going to get your optimal conditions, your strategy is going to underperform grotesquely. So, the 30% of the time you're going to be optimizing and the strategy will feel nice to trade, simple to be disciplined and patient. But, then when you go into the consolidation, if you have a trend trading approach, you have a mismatched strategy to the market condition. So, there are some adjustments we can make to prevent you from getting stopped out and to prevent you trading the wrong strategy in the wrong market type. So, the way to do that is to break these down into what the trading strategy should be, the adjustments. Before we do that, I want to tell you my trading approach. So, the first thing I do is I'll get in on thirds. Whether that's three contracts or six or nine, my positions are in thirds. The third on the S& P 500 futures will have a three-point stop, all right? So, three on three is nine points minimum with one contract. If you are doing nine contracts, all right, then that increases to about 27 points of risk. It's nine points per package that you're building because we're trading in thirds. All right, I don't trade in any less quantity size than thirds, and you'll find out why. The first target for my third position is four points. On the S& P, you're likely to get four points pretty easy, and you're going to get that opportunity for that TP to hit even if the market reverses and you're dead wrong about it. The second one is a plus eight. Target two is plus eight points, and the plus eight is designed [clears throat] to get you paid on rotations. Meaning, the market usually gets pinned between two levels. Let's say you're trying to get the support here, and your next big target is up here, but before that big target, you have an intermediary resistance that just going to come up and fight against. So, it's designed to get you paid before we break that resistance in case the sellers respond and hit, and we just bury the price lower. The strategy is designed to get you paid while you still have the chance. Now, T3 or the third profit target it gets exciting cuz this is called the trailer or the runner. So, here's how you work with that information. Assuming that we're in a consolidation, what you're going to do is when you find the opportunity to get long with that consolidation, you know you're in a consolidation and you're in the 70% window. Only thing that changes, T1, T2 stay the same, is your T3. Your runner conditions and expectations have to decrease. And the place to decrease your runner to is the next major resistance. Example, if you're getting long here into the 20 into this consolidation, and you have around the 35 as a resistance, you don't want to target up here or up here. Like, obviously, you want the most from your runner, but you want to target the next resistance. And you're going to find in ranges plus eight is often right at the level that you're most likely to get, and after that, it tends to lead to a little bit more rotational sideways movement, and even failure of trades. So, the plus four and plus eight get you on base. But if you think about it, that's 12 points on six. Cuz, if you have three contracts risking three, that means you're risking three points on every one contract. Total package size is nine points of risk. First target is four, your second target is eight. Those total to 12. So, even on the whole package of nine, you're still have a positive win rate. You need something like 40% to be profitable with this triple approach, three contract package approach. That means there's no real pressure on the runner. The pressure is self-imposed. You're the one putting pressure on the position. The market will get you paid as long as you pick key levels. In a consolidation-type market, the strategy is to get on base with your T1 and T2. And for the runner not to get carried away and to have a target. And as you approach that target, it's okay to start lifting your trailing stop to key levels. Don't put the stop where you want to stop winning losing money by giving up your profit. Put the stop where the trade invalidates. Oftentimes, that's much lower than where people place it. So, you get in here, you place your stop here, the price gets to this level, and you're like, "Oh, well, I don't I only want to give up this much of my profit. " That's not what a stop does. The question is where does the structure invalidate? And

### Segment 2 (05:00 - 09:00) [5:00]

oftentimes, it's still below the initial entry, where your original stop is. And that's the problem with these trending conditions is you don't really have the basis to move your runner. You're moving it willy-nilly just based on how much money you want to lock in. Well, if you're afraid of giving up your profit, take it at the target. Simple as that. That's the 70%. I always ask traders, "If you don't get paid while you have profit, when do you expect to get paid? " You know, when's the best time to get paid? When you have an open profit position. That's it. That's the simple answer. There's no optimization in a range. You have to play by the rules. Take your T1 and T2, and then your T3, your runner, is going to have the least amount in this situation. It's okay. 70% time, that's going to be your outcome. Now, let's look at the 30% of time, which are trending conditions. This year gets interesting, and this is why. When you're in a trending market, nothing really changes, but the things that are different is that it's forgiving for you to get into a position at the wrong level. When you're moving up pretty bullish and the market's continuing, you can kind of afford to be a little sloppy in your execution and still get paid, but only 30% of the time. You get sloppy in a range, you'll get diced up. So, it's a more forgiving condition for entry, and it's a more opportunistic condition for the runner. That's really what changes. The first T1 and T2, you're still getting four points, you're still getting eight points, but now your third one, the there's no target cuz you're moving higher and higher, and you can let this one run. This is how you can have a full day, you know, like three, four hour hold of 50 plus points. That's when you can get excited, but you must be in a trending condition. You get in a trending condition when you break out above a range as it accepts that range, as it hits a high and fails that high and brings you down below prior day values, and it can't exceed the high a second time. Well, now you're officially in what's expected to be a trending market. Let's summarize what we're doing here. Contract entry minimum package of threes, stop on all of them three points on most days. Some days more volatile, it's four points. Take profit four on the first, eight on the second. The runner is what makes the difference. The runner in a range, which happens 70% of the time, expect less of that runner. Get paid at the resistance above at the first resistance should be your target. Don't target a breakout. You don't know a breakout's going to happen until it does. If you're trying to predict the breakout, you're going to get chopped up in the range, and by the time it breaks out, you're not going to do the breakout anyways cuz you lost so much capital, you're scared, you're in a shell. The only way to take advantage of the opportunity is not to predict it, but to allow the opportunity to reveal itself and then adjust course with your runner. So, in the trending condition, let your runner run. Be a little more forgiving towards it, all right? Move the stop, the trailing stop with it, but move it still where the trade invalidates, but keep moving it and be patient. It's going to continue to run for you in a trending condition. So, that's what I want you to do. take a moment, look at your last consolidation period results, trending period results, and find out what were you targeting? What was your RR? What were your targets? How often did you hit them? From your entry to your ultimate exit of your last position, how many points did you get in the range? How many trend? Start being aware of what you're actually doing and comparing it to market context, and start giving yourself the opportunity to get a real edge. And so, now you know how to trade a consolidation, trend, and how to adjust for that in your trading strategy. Um by the time you get to a runner, you're in a good place because you have a free trade that could work for you, but don't take a good place and turn it into a prison that you create on yourself by having mismatched expectations to market condition. Trending, go ahead, let the runner go, let it be patient, have a big target overhead. Consolidation, get on base, get paid, and let the targets above and the levels of the consolidation dictate your exit. All right, Trade Pros, I hope you enjoyed this video and learned a ton.
