In this short instructional video, the speaker outlines a simple trend‑following approach that relies on two moving averages applied to different timeframes. Traders should look at the average range of a daily candle and plot a higher‑timeframe moving average and a lower‑timeframe moving average. When price is above both averages, the trader takes long positions; when price is below both, the trader takes short positions. The method emphasizes trading within the middle 50 % of the daily candle – avoiding the top and bottom 25 % – because the extremes, while less frequent, can generate large profits. The speaker claims that with this setup a trader only needs to win about half of the trades to be profitable, as the occasional extreme moves provide the bulk of the gains.

I say to a lot of my traders, for the average range of a daily candle, you've got two moving averages, one on a higher time frame, one on a low time frame. If you're trading above them on both, you're going to win. But if you're going long, if you're short, you're trading below them. You only need to win 50% of the time. Don't trade in the top 25% or the bottom 25%. You want to be trading in the middle portion of that candle, because if we do get to extremes, you're going to make a lot of money.
