I made this video because someone asked me what the easiest day trading strategy I have seen. The guy I knew that used this traded his own money and brought in 400-500k in a year. I used it and was profitable but really wasn’t my thing. I am very profitable now but I might leave it on a screen to watch and maybe play around using it.

What’s going on guys so this might be the simplest easiest day trading strategy that I’ve ever seen um somebody asked me in the chat what was the easiest day trading strategy so I was like hey let me make the video for you and I’ll show you exactly what I know um if you’re not on our live stream join the live stream every day we stream uh 1:30 till the end of the day and uh it’s free here on YouTube just subscribe

And uh come on the stream so I knew this guy maybe five to seven years ago um I traded with him for a little bit and uh I did follow along the strategy a little bit I do like it because you can catch really big trends uh it just really wasn’t for me because there is a lot of uh small losses small gains and um it could take a while to get a a really good setup here but uh here it

Is basically he used hikins which are the candles you just changed the uh the candles here on uh trading view you have the uh 8 SMA the 34 SMA and he just played the crosses and his rule was basically uh you know say the SMA the8 crosses to 34 he would go short and he’d basically stay in there until he got a a real close above the eight and then he’d get out and uh he toyed around depending on the time

Of day because obviously there’s times of days where there’s more volume less volume you know during normal trading hours there’s a lot of volume so he would kind of play the thre minute um I’ve seen him once in a while play the one but he basically stayed like on the three and then after hours he would switch it to the five and it was pretty it was pretty good um my problem with it was something like this so like yeah you

Caught this big move but like you’re not going long I mean you miss a lot and then you’d have to go long up here and I’d be like ah I’m not really into that and uh it would obviously it worked worked out I guess um I don’t know the one year I know he banked somewhere around $500,000 doing this strategy he traded his real money he wasn’t trading prop firms um he was using just ER trade trading Futures and uh he

Traded a lot like all types of hours it wasn’t just during the market it was after hours I remember him getting um London open a lot so he was is up all hours of the day but the but it’s pretty simple I mean you’re literally just following just following the the the crosses you know this is when I kind of got weirded about it is like you know you’d get AC cross down and then you know you’d get stopped out a

Lot I guess let me go back to Market hours I’m more of a market in Market hours guy he also didn’t trade um the first 15 minutes of the market was like another thing he had a couple rules so he was looking for like when the market really got a trend um and then you could see like here he would have just went long and then he would have got stopped out and then depending on what he wanted to do if

He got a full close back over you got remember he’s been doing this strategy for a real long time so he kind of would get the feel of it and uh but he wouldn’t be shorting there’s no short if anything he would reong um so like here you’d kind of flag like to me this is a flag and then you break the flag but he would just say hey I got stopped out uh we’re closing above the eight again I think

I’m going to long it again and then he would just ride ride this eight again and then he’d probably get stopped out around here and then you know he might long he might short here you know the big things with hikingschuh yeah the other issue with this strategy is you have to be willing to let it move around so like say you shorted here like odds are you are under water for this whole time and you have to trust the strategy

That you know it’s going to continue down and um and it does I mean it was it was very interesting I don’t know how much I liked it but I definitely played it I was actually profitable playing it but it really wasn’t my cup of tea but you could see what I liked about the strategy is you can get the massive moves um you know you can get something like this where you can get 50 points and then obvious you would

Stop out over the eight and then depending on you know what you wanted to do you can re uh resort once it went below the eight again um but I just found it to be interesting you know that’s on the thre minute the F minute hiking candles are are you know are iffy to me but this was the easiest strategy that I’ve seen literally it’s the eight crossing the 34 and it is what it is I mean so I just want

To make this video only because I was asked and this is the easiest strategy that I’ve seen out there that somebody made significant money well I hope you enjoyed it I don’t know if I’m going to be using it but uh yeah here it is
