Congrats on passing FTMO! Just bought my first 10K with them, and I'm excited how I will do after back testing your strategy for over 10 months. I will take a conservative approach by risking 0.5%.
It will take forever to pass rather risk 1%. I personally go for 1.5 to 2% this way if I have a winning streak I pass in 2 to 3 trades per phase. I double down on risk if I loose a trade.
Always intersting to see how other people trade. For me I do not like holding long. It makes me anxious but in the future Swing trading is something I'd like to be able to do. I usually take 3-5 trades a day of just 10-20 pips each for forex pairs. Gold is 30-50. So I usually can get around 100 pips a day but I only risk .5% a trade. My R:R ratio isn't big but very consistent! I make 1.5%-3% daily and also trade on a 200k funded account. So its pretty good money! But it took me 4 years to get here!!! Good luck on your continued success trading!
Following you from 2023, I learned a lot from you and today I buyed 10k ftmo challenge, gonna use your strategy cause it's really give freedom to live ❤
Some FANTASTIC messages here Ara especially on significant chart time / LTFs vs HTF Swing Trading allowing you to stay profitable and have a life outside of trading. Capitalisation is key. Work less and earn more. Love it. Cheers, James.
I just love the fact that you make things simpler for beginners. I am still at backtesting stage after I watching almost all of your videos. I know you do analysis in your discord group sometimes but do you also do it on IG live? Will you ever consider doing that sometimes soon? So that the less fortunate ones like us can tap in. Thanks so so much sir 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for watching! I don't have any plans for IG live. I reserve my time for my community members. I offer plenty of value here on TH-cam for absolutely no cost 👍🏼
Thanks so much for sharing this as transparent as possible, there's a few like you, keep it up. This is really an eye opener for me. Looking forward to have success following your style of trading!
Congrations on your funded account. Being following you for a while. I really like your charts, asked if you could make a video for your chart settings.
I was able to take the first shorter trade for this pair. This pair has been quite profitable for me. However, this very trade that you took, I took it but closed when price went back to entry. I then made another entry from that latter swing low of your trade (the one which hit your TP level) and now it is still ongoing. I'm getting used to spotting your type of trades but the one that really needs working on is my trading psychology 🤔
I like the way you put over the under capitalization fact, many ppl are ignorant to its negative impact on a trader's psyche. Great trade, analysis and knowledge of the market. I subscribed.
He’s right tho about swing trading which is why I made the switch. I can do the same thing if not better and have a more clear picture of direction without having so much screen time. As traders the more and more experience we gain for me that came with not wanting to be on the charts all day. I only did to learn all these different things but now I have plenty of experience and a plan why stay on them ? It allowed me to breath while having a job and a relationship and animals on minimal time to get good healthy sleep. Yes we wait longer. Phycology buffer simple. Just never was able to consistently make it on the charts as a scraper/day trade and also keep a healthy mind from sleep
Thanks so much. Been following this strategy and my confidence never dropped. So simple and result guaranteed. You are very right with undercapitalization.
Hello Ara, thank you for making the swing trading tutorial. But I'm still confused about finding the right liquidity and BoS. Could you please make the video? Your video is very interesting and helpful for traders.☺
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Ara, I don’t know anyone that simplifies trading like you do. Is this an FTMO swing account or could I just trade a regular FTMO account and hold trades for 8 days through the weekends?
This would be my question also and I'd appreciate an response. I've noticed from the video that the account is simple FTMO and not FTMO Swing type. As I know on simple FTMO accounts you can't hold trades durring week-ends, but you hold it. Are you allowed or not? Thanks so much for your videos.
I see that you hold a normal FTMO account instead of Swing account type, in that case if u hold the trade longer , there is a high chance that during any major news announcement, you may hit TP or SL, during both the cases, you end up failing as you would be breaching the conditions!!!! So be aware of this!!
He most likely won’t due to his trading style now is purely focusing on the 4HR timeframe sometime checks Daily tf for bias if unsure on the the 4hr but he won’t go any lower than that due to his recent trading style change if you watch his older/earlier video he was was trading from a top down analysis but due to less stress, time spent on the charts, more profitable, etc.
@@Ibrahimka38watch that video he answer and demonstrated exactly what you and everyone whose after a 4hr-15/5M trading style. Some people within the discord trade with this style still check it out 🎉❤
Hi! Thanks for the video and detailed explanation. I'm not sure whether you mentioned it before, but what is your win ratio for this particular strategy and for this particular timeframe?
Hi Ara... hope you're doing well... congrats on the payout... wish you the best in 2024... just one little question... how do you actually find the pairs to trade?... how do you manage to watch them over a long period due to the timeframe you trade to get an entry?
I really like this style of trading and not trying to scalp for tiny profits, which can be very hard on the nerves. Thanks for sharing this simple and effective strategy!
Very Great swing strategy, but i have a question what if price turns only a pip or 2 away from the 71% level and move down like 50% between entry and TP, not filling the FVG and OB Is the trade still valid?
@@AraKerbabian Thanks for the reply much appreciated, because i have been waiting since Friday for my order just to turn around 2 pips from 71% entry point 😂, even got the magnet tool out 👌🏻
Hi Ara and great video. Could you please tell us how is it possible to hold trades over week end with a normal FTMO account? Don't you need the FTMO swing account type? Thank you.
Hi, thanks for watching. It's a normal FTMO account. If they need me to switch I'm sure they'll email me but I would be fine with closing before the weekends as well.
I have a question. Ara, you said there is no swap fee. Why do I hold overnight with swap fee? Which type of account do you say doesn't have swaps? Ftmo
Looking at this trade vs previous videos, did you change from trading swing structure to internal structure??? This trade looks to be internal bos. Thanks for all the info brother, I am really enjoying this new found freedom from this new style of trading...
Hello Ara, thank you very much for another share of valuable information. I have been backtesting this 4H strategy with Fibonacci, and according to my tests, the win rate is approximately 50%. I know that your win rate is around 60%. Have you been making entries on timeframes smaller than H4 as shown in your older videos?
Hello there brother, thanks for this video, as always your videos are very simple and educative, thank you! Quick question, given you was able to hold this trade for 7 days, does that mean you’re on a ftmo swing account! I am more of a swing trader but given the reduction of the leverage on swing accounts, I’ve been struggling with this decision to either go for other accounts or swing account! Plz advise me if you will!
Well done! 🤘 I love this video because I have it exactly the same marked on my charts (of course this is due to the fact that I watched all your videos and studied your strategy). The only difference is that I didn’t have the patience to wait till full TP and with this ugly price action for a week, after the limit order has been activated, I manually closed at 1:1 profit. I didn’t have the nerve to hold the trade for long enough but what you said now in this video has printed on my mind “always remember what was the reason for entering the trade at first place”. This will deffo help me with the psychological game during trading. Thank you!
Thanks for watching. Also, it helps to just occupy your time with something else. There is no sense in manually intervening with a trade just because it's taking a long time. Just accept it for what it is.
@@anthonyvikiru442he mentioned it in one of his previous videos. I don’t have it but watch his video about top 3 indicators to find out the name of it 😉
Hey Ara, i love your strategy, i already backtested 12 Pairs over the whole year (2023). I gained over 114% wich is insane. 🙂🙏 I just have one question to the strategy: What is your win rate? I'm really happy with my win rate (42%), but I wonder if there's so much more potential in this strategy. Maybe I could have saved myself some trades because, for example, I wasn't concentrating on the backtesting session. I would just like to have a comparison value for my win rate. 💛
Hey Ara hope you and your son are doing well my brother! Does the Imbalance need to be aligned with the 71-79% FIb? Also does the imbalance have to be big/medum sized or can it be a small subtle imbalance? Thank you brother, wishing you and your family a prosperous 2024!
Are you a US citizen? I currently just passed the challenge after having the account since september & i am worried about the payout process once i get my credentials since i am US resident
Apparently it’s not good for holding over the weekend as the market closes for more than 2 hours rather choose a swing account as it also allows for holding during news events as well just so that you are safe even during funded phase
I admire your patience! Learning myself the patience game along the way but wanted to ask, why didnt you see the first bos in 4h, its right before first bos you noticed

Hi Ara, when do you screen over all the pairs to find for trading opportunities? Is it on a Sunday during market open, or everyday ?
Hello Ara, thank you for making the swing trading tutorial. But I'm still confused about finding the right liquidity and BoS. Could you please make the video? Your video is very interesting and helpful for traders.☺
At what time is good to watch the chart?
If you’re a swing trader like me, my god, the 2hr timeframe is a game changer
Thank you so much Ara for the value you provide and keep up with videos. With such insights it makes it easy for me to trade working a 9 to 5.
