Shadowing Practice: The Only Trading Strategy You Need To Be Profitable | Swing Trading - Learn English Speaking with Video

Identify high probability setups in 15 minutes or less.

Take a trade where it's a buyer or sell, you put your stop loss for your take profit, and then you just gotta forget.

You can literally go to work, hit the gym, literally do whatever you want.

All you have to do is occasionally just check up on the trade to see if it's hit your take profit.

And then two days later, boom, your profits have been made.

This is what a swing trading operation looks like, or at least the way that I do it.

So what is swing trading?

So the Google definition of trading is a trade that is held past one day or more, you know, usually like a week, right?

But what swing trading really is, it's just trading with the higher timeframes, whether they are the weekly,

daily timeframes, and you're just using this as your take profit zones because you're setting and forgetting.

You're using the higher timeframes to reach a larger profit.

Not saying you can't make money with scalps or with the smaller trades, but you know, it's a lot more volatile and you're more prone to get stopped out.

When you're trading with swing trading or intraday trading the way that I do, you're trading with the higher time frames, you're a lot better winning and your chances of winning are a lot higher

because you're going with the majority of the time frames.

You're pro trend trading and I preach this all of the time.

Now, how is this different from other types of trading?

Let's say scalping, day trading, or even intraday trading.

Basically what scalping is, you're just in and out within the hour, two, three hours, or also the session.

You're basically in and out fast.

You just want to get money in the day.

You want to catch a quick move and then you're out.

So this is actually what 99% of traders try

when they first come to the markets because they see it as easy, quick money.

But this is where the majority of traders gets, you know, smacked by the markets and they get to stop losses

and they just get hit by the market very hard because they come in too aggressive to scalping.

Then next we have day trading.

So day trading is also a very common style of trading because you're just in and out within the day.

So you either have a trade in the morning, you get out by the nighttime, or you get in at nighttime, you get out by the morning, which is a very common way of trading.

And I've kind of been implementing something like it very recently with my strategy and it is extremely effective.

Intraday is when you're holding for a little bit longer than a day trade.

So day trade and intraday, you're pretty much buying on like four hour zones, two hours zones, one hour zones, and then you're maybe having daily take profits,

but you know, you're just in and out with the day.

So you're just using the four hour structure and the daily structure mainly.

Then next we have swing trading, which is like, I'd say like the best one out of all of them

because I have a mix of all the different types of trading with my swing trading strategy.

So basically using the higher timeframes to identify the trend.

So then pretty much buy with the trend

and then you use daily timeframes to kind of have like your little smaller zones

and then use the lower timeframes like four hour, two hour, one hour to get into the trade to then have the longer take profits.

Meaning that you have the most precise entries

because you use the lower timeframes and then you have the largest take profits because you're using the higher timeframes.

So these are some of the pros and cons of swing trading.

The big, big, big pros right off the bat is you make way more money because you have larger take profits.

Since you're going with the higher time, you are less prone to losing because you're pro trend trading.

So not only do you make more money, you're more likely to make more money.

And then since you're going with the trend, you're less likely to lose.

So you're not losing as much when you're swing trading.

Along with the fact that it is the most easiest and it is the less stress.

So it requires minimal amount of time with minimal amount of effort whether you're entering trade

or whether you're just selling forgetting letting it hit your take profit or your stop loss.

Your stop loss is gonna get hit.

I'm not gonna lie.

The cons really is really only one con and that's that it just requires patience.

A lot of traders they want to come into the market and they want to take ten trades the same day.

That's not how this works.

Like I've gone a whole week without taking a trade

and it's beautiful because I'm just standing on the sidelines watching everybody's stop loss get hit

while I'm just waiting for a nice trade setup to pop up.

So when you're not involved in the markets, it's good because the swing trading gets you out where you're not supposed to be in

and it gets you in right when you're supposed to be in.

I say the only con is patience because you can probably take one, two, maybe three trades a week, but if each trade has a one to three risk to reward, to me that's positive all day and it's stress-free.

So this is a side note.

The most important thing when swing trading is the trend is your friend.

You want to go wherever the majority of the market's going.

So that is one.

The second one being you need to buy with a weekly or daily area of interest.

That is it.

I don't care if the four hour looks good.

I don't care if the two hours is good.

It does not matter the four hour

and two hour zones are not going to be respected as strong

or as solid as the weekly or daily And

that is a simple fact I can pull out the receipts

you take ten trades buying at a daily area of interest

and ten trades buying at a four hour area of interest

Your ten trades on the daily area of interest are gonna win more than the four hour

That is a simple fact because the stones are much stronger

and much more respected Before we go to the charts and I show you some of my swing trades, I've created a class to where anyone can master my most profitable skill ever,

where it can make you generate anywhere from $4,000 to $6,000 every single month, but realistically only dedicating probably an hour or two a day.

To watch it, click on this video right here.

Make sure to watch it after this class is over, so everything is done.

So make sure to watch this video once we're done with this one.

All right, so now I'm going to walk you guys through this trade

where I made $85,000 in under 24 hours almost breaking my record

if i would have just said i forget a little bit more but you know

but it's okay i'm going to walk you guys through from the moment

that i analyzed it on sunday swings to all the way

where i answered where i placed my stop loss where i

entered where i put my take profit everything i'm going to

walk you guys through the whole entire trade to make sure you guys pay attention

so the first thing

when we go to the market with we already know is

we identify the trend where is the trend going you guys

already know i said this earlier the trend is your friend

you want to go wherever the majority of the markets are going

so if you notice here we have the weekly time frame is air

so as you can tell this market structure is headed to the downside lower low lower high lower low

and this is where we potentially created a new lower high obviously

if we end up breaking under

100

so right now we can tell the weekly is bears

101

so yes i do this for every single trade because

102

if you're not holding yourself accountable to mark up your charts and follow your trading plan, then who is?

103

Nobody's going to be behind you while you're trading and be like, hey, make sure to do that.

104

So this is where all the traders, they fail and they just end up losing because they don't hold themselves accountable.

105

I literally do this for every single trade.

106

So weekly timeframe is bearish.

107

Then we go down to the daily timeframe.

108

And as you can tell, the daily timeframe went from being bullish to being bearish.

109

So we were here creating higher highs and higher lows to then creating lower lows and lower highs.

110

So at the time of us taking this very trade right here, we were bearish.

111

As you guys can tell, you have here daily timeframe bearish.

112

So this would be the lower high.

113

And then this would be the lower low because this is the higher high.

114

This is the higher low.

115

We didn't broke the structure.

116

So this timeframe here is now bearish.

117

So actually this would be the lower high.

118

And then this would be the lower low.

119

So at the time of us taking this trade, this is exactly what it looked like.

120

So after we identify that the daily is bearish, then we go down to the four hour.

121

So on the four hour, we would do the same exact thing.

122

And as you guys can tell, the four hour structure is also bearish because we were creating higher highs and higher lows.

123

And then we shifted to the downside making this time frame bearish.

124

So the lower low would be here and then the lower high would be here.

125

So as long as you remain under these two lines, literally we can do here whatever we want, we are bearish.

126

The moment we body close above, we go bullish.

127

The moment we body close under, then this turns into the new lower low and then this turns into the lower high.

128

So this is we would then identify

129

that the four hour is bearish as well meaning we have

130

three time frames in sync all time frames are going down

131

why would you be interested in buying on the one hour time frame

132

or 38 minute time frame

133

or 15 minutes it is a waste of time you only

134

want to take a trade where the majority of the markets

135

are going this is what i express every single sunday when i get get on the call with the students.

136

So as you can tell here, the weekly timeframe is bearish.

137

The daily timeframe is bearish.

138

And then the four hour timeframe is bearish.

139

The only thing that makes sense is to sell.

140

So if we're only looking to sell, we're going to only find an area of interest to sell.

141

So now this is where I only look for my areas of interest on the daily or the weekly area of interest.

142

So as you can tell, I found this zone on the daily because we need a minimum of three touches to find our area of interest.

143

This is where we have area of interest.

144

Touch one, touch two, and then touch three.

145

So we have three touches on the area of interest, making this a solid area of interest.

146

Whenever we are above, we're buying.

147

Whenever we are under, we're selling.

148

Whenever we are above we're buying whenever we are under we're selling

149

so in this case not only are we under the area of interest

150

but all time frames are heading down

151

so it's like you're setting yourself up for success right now

152

so after we understand

153

that the three time frames are in sync my next confluence

154

is we are selling at a daily area of interest again i can only identify an area of interest

155

if we have a minimum of three touches.

156

So this right here, the way that I grade it is

157

that every time frame is a 10% towards your grade in terms of trend.

158

So this right here, this is going to be 10%.

159

This is going to be 10%.

160

And then this is going to be 10%.

161

So let's say, for example, that the four hour would be bullish.

162

So let's just suppose that this is bullish like this,

163

then this would only make this trade a 20% because we only have two timeframes in order to take the sell.

164

Let's say you want to take the buy for whatever crazy reason, then this would only be a 10% towards your grade because you only have the four hour bullish.

165

Again, I only identify trend in these three time frames.

166

Everything under here is simply for entry signals.

167

So obviously we're not looking to buy because that makes no sense.

168

We want the majority time frames in our favor.

169

So this is where we have the three time frames in sync, giving us all three time frames together, giving us a 30%.

170

If we're buying or selling at a daily or weekly area of interest, this is where I would then add also a 10% to my grade.

171

And this just goes on.

172

My strategy

173

and my confidence just go on for a series of like

174

10 different ones where I end up giving a grade to

175

the trade where then I can basically identify whether it's going to be a B setup, C setup, A setup.

176

And I usually don't take any trades under a C.

177

By the way, I graduated high school with a 2.57 GPA, which is a C in America.

178

That is fine.

179

I take a C to my mom and she's happy.

180

She's phenomenal.

181

So I'm going to take trades that are C plus.

182

Anything under makes no sense.

183

So I'm just applying the same thing.

184

So as you guys can tell here, after we identify that we have our area of interest, this is where I would then go down to the four hour.

185

In the four hour, I have to wait for it to touch my area of interest.

186

Once we come to our area of interest, this is where I can identify, wow, we're having a rejection from EMA,

187

from EMA, rejection from structure.

188

Let's just put here from four hour structure.

189

We also have a one second.

190

We also have a four hour rejection candlestick, so on and so forth.

191

So we notice we're building a series of confluences to take the trade.

192

So then this is where I would wait for the session to hit, whether it's New York or London session.

193

After here, this is where I entered the trade on the 30 minute timeframe on this bearish engulfing

194

and on this potential left head, right shoulder.

195

So this is where I would come here and I would just add 30 minute bearish engulfing.

196

So the confidence six would be 30 minute bearish engulfing.

197

7 would be head and shoulders.

198

8 would be rejection from 30 minute EMA.

199

Like you see how I'm building a series in confluences.

200

And again, keep in mind, all of these confluences have a certain grade towards the trade.

201

That is exactly what I break down and I explain in my set and forget strategy.

202

So this trade right here, after I identified my entry point,

203

which is going to be after this I put my stop loss above the right shoulder because again, we have left head, right shoulder,

204

and I'm going to be fully transparent and completely honest.

205

This was a very tight stop loss.

206

I usually have my stop loss above the head because again,

207

this right here, this could have decided to have created a larger right shoulder to then keep going to the downside.

208

But since I saw such a strong 30 minute bearish engulfing with taking the trade at right at eight in the morning, as you guys can tell down here.

209

It was pretty much, again, setting yourself up for success because you know New York session is about to kick in.

210

So there's a lot of momentum that's going to hit this trade.

211

So this is why I had my stop loss a little bit tighter on this trade.

212

And this is where I identified my take profit on a daily zone.

213

Because again, I am a swing slash intraday trader.

214

So if I am using the higher timeframes to identify the trend, why would I place four hour, one hour take profits.

215

It's kind of you're leaving so much money on the table.

216

So this is where I would enter on the one hour, 30 minute, four hour to look for my entries.

217

And then my take profit is based off of the next structure point.

218

So this is where I come here on the daily timeframe.

219

And I noticed the next structure point has this solid zone right here where we have one, two, three, four, five touches.

220

And I just found the next round psychological level, which is 8,900.

221

I usually like to get out right before it hits the wrong psychological level.

222

Because usually what happens is that you have this exact situation here where it tapped it barely to the T.

223

So I ended up closing this trade not fully at my take profit.

224

And obviously some brokers aren't going to hit it because, you know, spread and stuff.

225

But my actual trade profit ended up hitting somewhere around here

226

because I just more than I needed because I need the minimum.

227

I mean, one to two risks to reward to take a trade.

228

I don't really need anything more.

229

Anything more would be great, but I'd say it's almost being a little bit greedy.

230

And this trade probably took anywhere from, I think this trade literally took like six, eight hours to pay out.

231

It was very fast.

232

So I didn't have to set and forget that long.

233

As you guys saw with my simple strategy, I catch these trades all of the time.

234

That's why I think swing trading is one of the best approaches to take to the market because it is stress-free.

235

And then when you catch the trend, you can have immense profits with little to no drawdown because you're setting yourself up for success.

236

You're not just buying on the lower time frames fighting the markets.

237

If you're scalping, you're literally fighting the markets.

238

You want to catch an impulse up or catch an impulse down.

239

Versus when you're swing trading, intraday trading like I do, you're just going with the flow of the market.

240

Let's say the current of the ocean is going north.

241

You're going to just ride the wave north on the long run versus catching those little ripples back how the scalpers do.

242

Nothing against you guys, but I just personally think swing trading is a lot more effective

243

and the profits are much larger and truthfully thanks to swing trading

244

and the way that i trade i've been able to create massive amounts of wealth

245

and you the person watching this video right now i'm sure you're starting with zero

246

or something just like i did i literally started with nothing

247

i was at dunkin donuts five years ago no knowledge no

248

experience no contacts no degree little to no money until one

249

day one day i got there once i mastered the skill set

250

and then i got to the point where money stopped being

251

the main thing that's why i started doing these things just giving back to you guys

252

and dropping all of this wisdom

253

that I've learned over the course of five years of learning this endless

254

and I'd say beautiful craft because you learn so much about yourself.

255

And I started doing these videos just

256

because people were demanding on how did I get these sniper entries and how did I learn how to analyze the markets. So simple.

257

And I used to just do it on my Instagram stories all the time, but there's so much time you can just put into an Instagram story.

258

So I just started putting these videos together for you guys.

259

You guys love it.

260

And now I'm helping people reach the same exact results

261

that I have so they can live the life of their dreams

262

and literally do whatever they want and then ever have to go back to a job ever again.

263

So if you want to know more about my set

264

and forget strategy and you want to see

265

if you can make anywhere from a thousand to a thousand

266

five hundred dollars a week as a beginner trader using my set and forget strategy in under three months, just hit the link in the description below where there's a video that was going to teach you more about my strategy.

267

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
