Best Trading Strategy for 2026 - TTFM

how's it going and welcome back to another video in this video

we are going to go over the best model for beginners

or anyone starting out but also this is not just

for beginners this is anyone who is looking to trade so let's get into the video so the first step in this intraday model is having a daily bias and this is the most important part.

It is anticipating the daily candle or a daily expansion candle.

How we're going to do that is using a candle 2 or a candle 3 closure.

If you do not know what this is, please check out my website where I cover candle 2 closure and candle 3 closure in depth with videos.

But a candle 2 closure is where we have price sweep out its previous candle and close back above it.

With this we can anticipate the next candle to expand because

reversal then expansion and this is when we can have a daily bias or look to trade is when we have an anticipated expansion candle.

If this candle closes well or above candle two's high then we can also look for a continuation in candle four.

Now it is important to note that with a candle two closure we do need a change in the state of delivery inside that candle two

before we can look to trade that expansion higher. Now we went over how to get daily bias with a candle 2 closure where we can trade candle 3 or candle 4.

Now if we don't have a candle 2 closure as you can see here price sweeps out its previous candle but does not close back above it.

This means we can wait for another candle. We don't have a bias for this candle.

Once this candle prints it is engulfing this candle previous if it closes over its body.

That means it is a candle 3 closure. With

a candle 3 closure, then we can look to trade candle 4 as price has shown that it's reversed in candle 2 and is looking for a continuation higher in candle 4.

Now once again, we do need to confirm this on the lower time frame, looking for a change in the state of delivery to have occurred before we're looking to get on side in candle 4.

If there is no change in the state of delivery, then we cannot look to trade this.

And if you don't know what this is, I have an entire video on confirming swing points using the change in the state of delivery on my website.

Now once we have a daily bias this is when we are going to go down to the four hour chart.

We are simply looking for the same thing on the four hour chart a candle two or a candle three closure.

In this scenario you can see we have a candle two closure so we can look to anticipate candle three four and then a continued expansion if we haven't hit our draw on liquidity or our higher time frame key level.

So the goal is to have a daily bias. In this case, we're going over a bullish scenario.

So with a bullish daily bias, we want to see price open, trade lower to form the wick.

Once the wick has formed, which is what we're using the four hour candles for, then we can look to trade it higher.

So once we have that candle to closure, what are we going to look for?

We're going to do the same thing that we just did with the daily and hourly, but with the four hour and 15 minute fractal model.

So if we zoom in here, once we have a four hour candle two closure or candle three closure, we're going to first check that we have a what?

Change in the state of delivery. We're going to do that by finding the low, finding the series of candles that made that low, and then once price has closed through that level, it has confirmed this swing point, and we can look to trade that continuation higher.

How are we going to trade that continuation? We're going to look for a new protected swing. So what is that?

We need a point of interest, so sweeping out a low or reaching into a fair value gap, or ideally both.

So you can see here, we're sweeping out all these lows into this fair value gap, and then price closes over the series of downclosed candles into that point of interest.

Once we have formed that, we can anticipate this wick to have formed, right?

So we see how we're doing the same thing on the higher time frame as we are on the lower time frame, and we can look for this to expand higher.

So the goal of this model is to trade candle three on multiple time frames, or an expansion candle on the daily

aligned with a lower time frame fractal model. With that, we can look for price to expand higher,

So let's get into some examples in TradingView and go over this.

So here we are with our first example and you can see we are trading within a range.

We have just taken out our range low so we could be looking for price to trade to our range high which also lines up as a fractal model target.

So with this we have a candle to closure on the daily at a point of interest.

So we could be looking for this to trade higher if we have what? An hourly change in the state of delivery.

So taking a look here, adding my indicator on, it shows that we have an hourly change in the state of delivery.

With a green T spot here, we could be looking for price to trade higher from here, considering we have that confirmation of the daily wick.
