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 TH-cam. 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...
What if we are in the 4 hour uptrend, I get a liquidity sweep and a bos, do I still look to sell or only if the market direction is short anyway? & what about news? Thanks for every answer.
@@freeman1019 Most of them are scams. Like I haven't found even one service that is legit. Those people just gamble with your accounts, and when they win, they show it everywhere "look! Happy customers!"
when you said "i used to take large risk to reward ratio trades and now i don't" just hit me so hard . this is what maturing as a trader means i guess.
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.
What a great video with clear explanation, I don't think there is anyone in youtube space who explains his traders in such a manner and shows his drawdowns too💯💯 absolutely proud of you and thanks alot for teaching this ❤
You got the 7% drawdown in the first phase i got it in the second. But now with the help of your strategy i recovered the 6 % now in 1% draw down bundle of thanks
I very much appreciate the video content that you are sharing with everyone. I studied this strategy for a day and then put it to use last night and was able to pass phase one of my testing account. I am sick of staring at the charts looking for crap trades on lower time frames. Thank you so much. I really hope you plan on making more videos. Stay blessed!
As always Ara a great video. I use your strategy myself and it works. I’m currently in an FTMO challenge and it’s going well. May not pass until next year but it’s going well. Thank you for another great insight into trading 😊
did you get the FTMO SWING account challenge with 1:30 leverage or just the standard 1:100 account. if you got the swing account with 1:30 how did you calculate your lots size ?
Ara you are a real man , you show the reality of the trading No Fake! only one questions. What software do you use to backtest the 4h model? I used to backtest in FX Replay but in FX replay I only can backtest 6 pairs in the same time. Thanks man
Why normal if you dont mind? Swing account gives you ability to open a trade with a news release which you cannot predict if you set and forget the limit orders for example during NY, news will execute the trade and you will be terminated or the trade won't be counted as a profit. Could you explain it? @@AraKerbabian
would you say that your losing streak was strictly due to the model not working out (i.e. statistical losses), or did you identify errors in your executions as well?
Incredible video. In fact, this is like the fourth time I’m watching it. I’m curious though. What’s the 16k trade in the trading log? Was that using the system?
I explained this in the video.. Necessary is a subjective term. There are certain things that can increase or diminish the probability of a successful trade.
Am a new follower of yours, I must say that you are a blessing. I would like to say that I don't hear you talk about the prevailing trend, it seems they are not so necessary in this strategy? Thanks a million
Hi, Do you keep track of the upcoming news and what is your approach for that? Do you close your trades during those periods or just keep them running? Cheers!
Great video. Bro what do you do with swap? Becouse many pairs have big swap, and with 2.45R and if the operation takes a few day maybe the RR become like 1:1.5 because swap
Thanks for the content. Please I want to know if you use all the forex pairs for that strategy or you select some of them? Because there are more than 20
you are amazing, can you share your thoughts and how were you reacting to the trades and market in your early trading journey , like 4 years and 6 years ago
Hallo, just want to know can we use the same SMC strategy on 1hr for POI and 5min Entry? and which one is better 4hr, 15min OR 1hr,5min strategy ? Honest answer please
Bro Thanks!! But I have tried to look for the indicator you're using on market structure swing points (Currency pros SMC) but I couldn't find it..... I wonder why?
im pretty new to trading ive been watching all of your videos and testing out the strategy. However, I still don't get the concept of liquidity grab and why didn't you talk about imbalance in both graph? (just curious) I really want to understand this strategy but no matter how hard I try i miss out on some of the concept. (Can someone pretty please explain to me? even if i go search up smc videos all they do is yap and just wont get straight to the point like you) 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
hi ara, ive been watching your videos for a few days, i was wondering if you could talk anout what pairs are best for trading this strategy, if any. it'd be awesome if you could go over that in a video! thank you if youre going to do that man, really appreciate your work

Passed my first Phase 1 with this strategy. Thankyou Ara.
Hi can you help me to pass
4h strategy? Or lower timeframe
4h@@sterben_5405
No, time on the charts will pass the eval for you@@SleepySunglasses-cg1dk
What if we are in the 4 hour uptrend, I get a liquidity sweep and a bos, do I still look to sell or only if the market direction is short anyway?
& what about news?
Thanks for every answer.
I look forward to back testing this 4h strategy in December to then be used for passing challenges in 2024. Blessings to everyone.
I'll suggest use this after dec ... cuz in dec market mostly fail structure
@@Liquidityexe I agree, but I will be backtesting this strategy using the 2023 and 2022 data
Or just pay 500 tp get it passed for you

Congratulations Ara for passing your FTMO challenge. You deserve it sir.
I am looking forward to your payout video. Goodluck sir 🎉
Been CRUSHING the 15M TF with this exact strategy...Thanks Ara. Congrats on the 200K account!
Hey bro what’s up I’ve been wanting to ask this if I can use it on the 15min Tf
Can we connect on IG bro?
It’s works on lower timeframe?

clean simple no bulshit video, thanks Ara you are the best in trading industry, and most transparent. thank you..
Thank you so much for all the effort put into your videos I have been watching your content for a while and it did provide value to me.
As always Ara a great video. I use your strategy myself and it works. I’m currently in an FTMO challenge and it’s going well. May not pass until next year but it’s going well. Thank you for another great insight into trading 😊
I love how you teach you changed my trading to another level , now i am a funded trader because of you i really appreciate your teaching
which Prop firm?
You drop a lot of gems that resonate with a lot of traders. Keep up the good work 👍
did you get the FTMO SWING account challenge with 1:30 leverage or just the standard 1:100 account.
if you got the swing account with 1:30 how did you calculate your lots size ?
I love how simple the strategy is!
One of the best videos on this topic.
What’s the indicator you have on you chart that identify pivot point high and lows
Ara you are a real man , you show the reality of the trading No Fake! only one questions. What software do you use to backtest the 4h model? I used to backtest in FX Replay but in FX replay I only can backtest 6 pairs in the same time. Thanks man
im on time..cant wait to learn from you
Really love this strategy! This fits me the best. Is this swing trading strategy also included to your course?
Yes it is
Great vid Ara. The 7 figure traders you met do you know what brokers they were using. I know most don’t cover capital over a million for insurance
Love the content! I have a question tho. Do you use a normal FTMO acc or Swing acc?
Normal for now
Why normal if you dont mind? Swing account gives you ability to open a trade with a news release which you cannot predict if you set and forget the limit orders for example during NY, news will execute the trade and you will be terminated or the trade won't be counted as a profit. Could you explain it? @@AraKerbabian
Hi Ara, do you use swing account at FTMO or Just normal ? I was curious
such an awesome breakdown brother!
Solid walkthrough, sir!
I wish i had real funds start trading, thank you Ara, my Great Mentor
is the liquidity grab a must for every setup?
would you say that your losing streak was strictly due to the model not working out (i.e. statistical losses), or did you identify errors in your executions as well?
Definitely human error
Please how many trades do you take per day
Incredible video. In fact, this is like the fourth time I’m watching it. I’m curious though. What’s the 16k trade in the trading log? Was that using the system?
I trade the same strategy every time bro. Thanks for watching ✌🏼
Thanks man!
Hi Sir Ara, more video please, im done watched all your videos its a big big help to us.
Great video Ara! Is it key here that the MSS displacement are comprised of strong consecutive candles?
I explained this in the video.. Necessary is a subjective term. There are certain things that can increase or diminish the probability of a successful trade.
Am a new follower of yours, I must say that you are a blessing. I would like to say that I don't hear you talk about the prevailing trend, it seems they are not so necessary in this strategy? Thanks a million
Hi bro, what lot size did you use for your first trade?
I am just curious about the lot sizing
Hey brother, nice video. Do you place those highs and lows marks there by yourself or is it a little tool? It looks very clean Ngl! Great video🙏🏻
Currency Pros custom indicator bro
Hello Ara 👋🏻, for a valid CHoCH, does the candle need to close below the swing low or can it's wick also cause a change of character ?
Thanks for the video, can you share the indicator you use to identify the pivot points (arrows) on your chart?
thanks for this free educational video u r a nice person
Great stuff, man, very simple and easy, so now how do I find or get the highs and lows indicator
Read the pinned comment
Does the liquidity grab need to be fairly close or can there be a high or low in past history that we use as a point of interest?
thank you so much for this video, can we withdraw the profit when we pass the first phase?
Hey Man love your work, been binging your stuff. With this swing style do you go BE or its SL of TP?
It's either SL or TP
Araaaaaa ❤❤❤ can't wait 😊
Eagerly waiting for this.
Hi,
Do you keep track of the upcoming news and what is your approach for that? Do you close your trades during those periods or just keep them running?
Cheers!
For the 4 hour may we know what small time frame trend will be relevant trade with the strategy is it 16 minute ,30 minute or 1 hour
I'm here waiting for this
Hi brother congratulations could you please make a video showing how you setup you tradingview chart and indicator you are using please 🙏🏾
How much do you plan on making annually from this 200k account?
how much risk you take in 1 trade ?
Great video. Bro what do you do with swap? Becouse many pairs have big swap, and with 2.45R and if the operation takes a few day maybe the RR become like 1:1.5 because swap
Bro what? Swap is nothing 😅
@@AraKerbabian perfect mate, thanks for your response.
Ftmo is working fine or not giving payouts now?
Thank you brother., for the simplicity❤
Thanks for the content. Please I want to know if you use all the forex pairs for that strategy or you select some of them? Because there are more than 20
Not all at once of course but I trade whichever asset presents an opportunity.
@@AraKerbabian great, thanks
Congrats on pulling out of that losing streak 👏👏💪 that’s tough at times
Thanks @AraKerbabiab. A very useful video and informative video.
Quick question why do you trade only on 4h
Thanks for another educational video.❤
Do you trade this in any pairs you see or have some selected pairs bro
you are amazing, can you share your thoughts and how were you reacting to the trades and market in your early trading journey , like 4 years and 6 years ago
What indicator did u use to mark up your highs and lows
Fractal highs and lows
How much did you risk on every trade? In %?
Hallo, just want to know can we use the same SMC strategy on 1hr for POI and 5min Entry?
and which one is better 4hr, 15min OR 1hr,5min strategy ? Honest answer please
brother is it a bos or a choch ???
Same remark
how do you add those little arrows on highs and lows?
What's the name of the indicator that mark swing high and lows?
Hey , Are you still trading with Ftmo?
those fractals are your swing points?
Bro Thanks!! But I have tried to look for the indicator you're using on market structure swing points (Currency pros SMC) but I couldn't find it..... I wonder why?
Because it's an invite only indicator for our community members.
Try Fractals by Rachel_T mate, play around with the settings if you want to try a free alternative
Would you recommend applying the same idea to the 1 hour chart?
I'd recommend doing whatever you're comfortable with, after testing. I only trade this on the 4H.
@@AraKerbabian cheers mate
Which pairs comfortable for this strategy?
im pretty new to trading ive been watching all of your videos and testing out the strategy. However, I still don't get the concept of liquidity grab and why didn't you talk about imbalance in both graph? (just curious) I really want to understand this strategy but no matter how hard I try i miss out on some of the concept. (Can someone pretty please explain to me? even if i go search up smc videos all they do is yap and just wont get straight to the point like you) 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So, as I understood, u take the positions on the htf?
Hey , Are you still trading with Ftmo?
what pairs do you trade with this strategy ?
What is the name of the indicator that marks those swing highs and lows?
Fractals
Ara, do you withhold from trading this strategy in the month of December or do you take opportunities year round?
It works year round but I personally am not trading December or most of January. That's a personal choice though.
Thank you so much for your quick reply and your content!
i've always wondered, do you get the money you won after the challenge or does it reset back to initial balance?
I think FTMO refunded in your first payout
I think FTMO refunded in your first payout
Hi ara the indicator setting of what period?
you enter off a ob int the discount zone?
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.
can your strategy also be implemented for day trading? please reply ara
You will have a lower win rate on a low time frame unless you pair it with a high time frame.
@@AraKerbabian so if i use the 4h and the 1h and 15min will it be a lower winrate?
Do you hold your trades overnight? Cause thats quite a long wait on the 4 hr, how are fundeds with the overnight holds and dealing with news?
Watch the video bro both trades I broke down were multi-day holds. News is irrelevant to me.
Please what indicator do you use for your swing points
Currency pros custom indicator
What is the name of the indicator you use here please
It's a paid one
Important statistic : Total 4 months duration, 36 total trades (approx 10 trades per month, 2 per week), drawdown of 6.4%, average loss > 1.5%.
hi ara, ive been watching your videos for a few days, i was wondering if you could talk anout what pairs are best for trading this strategy, if any. it'd be awesome if you could go over that in a video! thank you if youre going to do that man, really appreciate your work
It works on everything my friend. You have to test it for yourself and see what you feel most comfortable with.
@@AraKerbabian thank you man, i guess ima keep backtesting and testing the strategy then
Must it be used on the 4hr or does it work on all timeframes
Try it for yourself
Passed the same situation of drowdown -5% during December but I’m now stuck in breakevens
What if two setups present I the opposite direction?
Hey , Are you still trading with Ftmo?
Ara, do you hold trades taken with this strategy through NFP?
Yes
Hi bro
What indicator is that in your chart

No
on average around how many trades you take in a week or month in this 4hr strategy..? thank you
1-2 weekly
@@AraKerbabian 🙂👍
@@AraKerbabianif 1-2 weekly how come you have 45 trades in 36 trading days in your 200k challenge..?
@@domphoenixbgky, he probably traded other strategies like his 4H 15mins strategy during the course of the challenge
how do you handle the spread during the nights?
There's nothing to handle. Spreads are insignificant with positions this size.
Maybe talk about how you hold it. And not passing it
I passed 7 Challanges too.
but rarly i hold them for longer than 3 month
Well considering I just passed it, how would I be able to make a video like that?
