The Only Trading Strategy You Need For 2026

how's it going everyone this video is going to be over one system or

trading strategy that you can follow in 2026 too

many people bounce around from model to model and then cannot find consistency simply due to the fact that they cannot follow a single system let's go ahead and learn my fractal model.

Now this model is built off the fact that price cannot reverse without a swing point.

If price is going to go from a bearish trend to a bullish trend, it's going to form a bullish swing point.

If it's going from a bullish trend to a bearish trend, it's going to form a bearish swing point.

Now if we look for these swing points to form at a point of interest and look for certain candle closures, we can anticipate expansion candles that follow.

Now the first thing we need to do before we get into the lower timeframes is come into the day with a daily bias.

We're going to do this by simply looking at the daily closure.

If price has a closure outside the range, we're going to be looking for a continuation.

So you can see here with a bullish continuation, price closes over its previous day high, so I'm looking for price to continue higher.

And here you can see with the bearish continuation, price closes below its previous day low, so I'd be looking for a continuation lower.

With a reversal closure, we have price sweeping out its previous day low and closing back above that low, showing that price has reversed off that low, and we can anticipate a continuation higher in the next day.

With a bearish reversal, price has taken out its previous day high, closed back below that level, and then I can be looking for a continuation that following day.

So once I have a daily bias, then I'm going to look for structure and a swing point formation. So how do I go about this?

Well, here you can see we have a bullish daily bias through previous day high as price has closed over its previous candles high.

So looking for that, I'm going to be looking for a point of interest for price to react out of.

So I'm going to look for that in the previous range of the previous day.

So here you can see looking in this range here, we have a fair value gap.

Now points of interest are always going to be either a fair value gap or a low in a bullish scenario or a fair value gap in a high in a bear scenario.

Then I'm going to want to wait for price to reach into that point of interest and have a either a candle two or a candle three closure, which if you don't know what those are, I do have videos on those topics.

So here you can see we have expansion, price retraces into this fair value gap, has a candle two closure, and we have a draw on liquidity, which is our previous day high.

So with this, I would want to go down to the lower timeframes, and then I'd look for a fractal model.

Now very simply, we're going to go down to the lower timeframes using our timeframe alignment.

So for instance, if that swing point was on the hourly, I'd be using the five minute. If it's on the 30 minute, I'd be using the 3 minute.

Now we're going to check to make sure we have a change in the state of delivery, which confirms the swing point, but we're not going to enter on that change in the state of delivery.

We're going to wait for another continuation. So what I'm going to do is let some structure form.

Here you can see we sweep out a low into a fair value up, so we have that point of interest, and then we get to close through the series of downclosed candles.

This is a continuation order block, which I also have a video on. Once I have a continuation order block that forms.

I'm going to look to enter on that close through, my stop on that protected low, and then look for 2R.

So just to review, if we go back through this, we're going to get a daily bias. In this case, it was bullish.

We will then look for hourly structure or a point of interest on my desired time frame to be looking for.

Some people prefer that on the 4 hour or even the 30 minute.

And then from there, when we form a candle 2 or a candle 3 closure in that point of interest,

I'll go down to the lower time frame using the time frame pairing and then look for a continuation order block and look for 2R.

So now that you understand this system, let's go through a few examples of this.

So here we are in our first example and you can see we have taken out all the highs over here to our left and then we have a bunch of failure swings and a fair value gap here.

So when we have multiple days of an expansion without a new swing point, I can be looking for a retracement or reversal.

Here you can see on the daily chart we do have that reversal closure.

So that gives me bias bearish into this next day and I could be looking for a price to trade into this daily fair value gap below.

Now let's go down to the hourly time frame for our structure. So here we are on the hourly time frame.

You can see we have a change in the state of delivery as we have price sweeping out the highs right here and then closing through the series of up close candles and that's validating this swing point.

So now going into the next day, we'd want to look at the lower half of this previous day's range and look for price to form its wick.

So we'd be looking for a candle two closure or a candle three closure in here to try to get on side if I want to catch the wick or wait for a continuation.

So let's see if we can find either of those. So here you can see we do have a reversal closure, but it's not very bearish, right?

It's more of a doji, but we can go down to the five minute time frame and see what this looks like. Now down here on the five minute time frame, what would we want to see?

We'd want to see the lower half of this change in state of delivery be respected if price is going to continue lower in the next candle.
