This "2-Step-Strategy" shouldn't work... But It Makes Me $1,200/Day

Trading Strategy: Walking with the Whales

Introduction to the Strategy

• The speaker introduces a trading strategy aimed at making $1,000 daily, emphasizing its simplicity and effectiveness for both beginners and experienced traders.

• Many may assume that such a profitable strategy is complex; however, it is described as "stupidly simple" and has proven successful for many traders globally.

• The speaker, Carl, has 20 years of trading experience and presents a method called "walking with the whales," which focuses on following large institutional traders known as whales.

Understanding Whales in Trading

• A whale refers to an institutional trader executing trades significantly larger than those of average retail traders, often 1,000 to 10,000 times bigger.

• The strategy involves aligning with these institutions by copying their trades rather than trying to identify entry points independently.

• Despite its simplicity, this approach has garnered popularity due to its effectiveness in generating capital gains.

Steps and Rules of the Strategy

Step One: Identifying Whale Levels

• To implement the strategy effectively, one must accurately identify whale levels by drawing a box from yesterday's low to high and extending it two days into the future.

• Using Nvidia as an example, Carl demonstrates how to draw this box on various time frames (1-minute, 5-minute).

Step Two: Utilizing Multiple Whale Levels

• For continuous trading of a stock like Apple, it's essential to include whale levels from both yesterday and the day before for a total of four levels.

Understanding Box Components

• Each box consists of three parts: top (strongest sell-side force), bottom (strongest buy-side force), and center (noise/indecision).

Trading Rules Based on Whale Levels

Rule One: Avoid Buying at High Levels

• If trading near or above one of the boxes' tops, do not buy; this area indicates strong selling pressure from whales.

Rule Two: Avoid Selling at Low Levels

• Conversely, if close to or below one of the boxes' bottoms, do not sell; this level represents strong buying support from whales.

Rule Three: Do Not Trade in the Middle

• The middle section is characterized by uncertainty; thus it's advised not to trade there due to lack of clear market direction.

Testing the Strategy's Effectiveness

• Carl encourages viewers to backtest their own charts using these principles for validation rather than relying solely on his claims.
