00:02.490 --> 00:09.030
In this video, I'm taking a look at reversal trading strategies, I do not condone reversal trading

00:09.030 --> 00:15.330
whatsoever in the traditional sense, what I like is trading within the trend.

00:15.340 --> 00:17.280
So in this case, we're in a downtrend.

00:17.280 --> 00:18.990
We get a pullback like shorting that.

00:18.990 --> 00:20.100
It's a reversal of that.

00:20.610 --> 00:22.760
You are not trying to go against the trend.

00:23.250 --> 00:26.070
I can not think of a better way to lose money.

00:26.910 --> 00:33.030
So having said that, Deutsche Bank clearly is in a very negative trend on the daily chart.

00:34.610 --> 00:42.080
So as a day trader, you may want, I don't know, the 15 minute chart, maybe you're looking for that

00:42.740 --> 00:45.440
and you can use the Mac Makdisi.

00:46.310 --> 00:50.930
And the Makdisi is an indicator that has a couple of moving averages and you can see that we have crossed

00:50.930 --> 00:55.340
in the overbought area and that signal is when you're looking to sell.

00:57.630 --> 01:01.390
You can see that that did lead all the way back down to here and beyond.

01:02.130 --> 01:07.320
Yes, there are places where it crosses to the upside, but we ignore that you have plenty of stocks

01:07.320 --> 01:07.980
out there to trade.

01:07.990 --> 01:10.480
You don't need every penny of one particular stock.

01:11.310 --> 01:12.390
That's a sucker's game.

01:12.390 --> 01:14.070
And it's a great way to lose your account.

01:15.350 --> 01:20.060
This being the case, you can see that we've had a couple of crossovers here and got a little bit expensive

01:20.060 --> 01:20.500
on the back.

01:21.110 --> 01:22.340
We broke down eventually.

01:23.770 --> 01:29.650
The stop loss will be based upon support resistance, so if you shorted here, you stop loss would have

01:29.650 --> 01:31.080
been above this next cluster.

01:31.870 --> 01:33.820
You can see that we had a nice little rally here.

01:33.820 --> 01:40.870
We crossed at an extreme in the overbought part of the makdisi above the midline, right at a resistance

01:40.870 --> 01:41.230
level.

01:41.380 --> 01:45.190
You can't ask for a much clearer signal than that.

01:47.340 --> 01:54.060
So other ways that you can look at this might be Bollinger Band.

01:55.260 --> 01:59.640
So Bollinger bands, and in this case, we're in a downtrend on the daily chart.

02:00.940 --> 02:07.660
You're looking for areas where price has broken the top of the Bolander ban, meaning that is more than

02:07.660 --> 02:13.950
two standard deviations away from its moving average, which in this case is twenty you short there.

02:14.050 --> 02:18.580
You put a stop loss on top of the volunteer ban and you continue with the longer term trend.

02:19.000 --> 02:19.990
Same thing here.

02:20.560 --> 02:21.840
You have a stop loss here.

02:22.450 --> 02:25.570
You break below the volunteer ban here.

02:25.570 --> 02:26.710
You take your profit.

02:27.550 --> 02:33.280
That's the thing you're looking for when you go in and out of the Bollinger bands you are not looking

02:33.280 --> 02:38.380
to buy on a break through the bottom in a down trend, you are looking to take your profit.

02:39.890 --> 02:44.900
Every time you get over bond, it's time to sell because, you know, the larger players are still shorting

02:44.900 --> 02:48.650
this market so Bollinger bands can help as well.

02:50.180 --> 02:53.120
And then obviously support resistent.

02:54.580 --> 03:01.660
Which, quite frankly, is the most important thing on the charts, because that's where the buyers

03:01.660 --> 03:02.570
and sellers are.

03:03.340 --> 03:05.020
We're in a massive downtrend here.

03:11.800 --> 03:14.780
Shown resistance there you can see that we didn't make it above there.

03:15.670 --> 03:19.840
We have shown resistance there, which offered support, and then we broke through it and offers resistance.

03:20.290 --> 03:24.040
And this is a simple matter of following the trade.

03:24.040 --> 03:28.900
Once it breaks through these levels and place in your stop loss behind each one of these, eventually

03:28.900 --> 03:29.880
you'll get knocked out.

03:30.370 --> 03:33.850
But this way you can have the market tell you when it's time to leave.

03:35.820 --> 03:41.040
I cannot stress enough that you should not be worrying about these pullbacks if you don't believe me

03:41.040 --> 03:47.190
on the daily chart, you can see that during that time frame we had some nice pullbacks, but we're

03:47.190 --> 03:48.210
still going lower.

03:48.510 --> 03:49.940
And that's all you need to know.

03:50.340 --> 03:52.410
You do not go against the market.
