#1 BEST FOREX INDICATOR | (Why All Other Indicators Are TRASH!) - YouTube

Channel: Blue Edge Crypto

[0]
The number one best Forex indicator in the world, hands down,
[4]
and basically all other indicators that you could possibly ever use are
[9]
complete trash. And I'm going to explain why you may be wondering,
[12]
is there some sort of Holy grail Forex indicator that can accurately predict the
[16]
future on a regular basis? And here's the sad reality.
[19]
The sad reality is that 99.9% of indicators are completely trash and are
[24]
not going to help you at all.
[26]
Because all of these indicators are really doing is they're basically telling
[30]
you what's happened with price, but it's telling you in the past.
[34]
So it doesn't really have any predictive power about predicting the future.
[38]
Now there's one indicator that I'm going to talk to you about does have more
[41]
predictive power in my opinion,
[43]
than any other Forex indicator that's out there on the market.
[46]
And I'm not just trying to sell you some sort of indicator.
[48]
I'm gonna show you how you can use this for free.
[50]
And I promise you that this is going to be contradictory to what most people are
[54]
talking about in terms of Forex indicators on YouTube.
[57]
So make sure that you stay tuned.
[58]
I'm gonna talk about the number one best Forex indicator that's on the market
[61]
that actually does have some ability to predict the future.
[71]

So you don't miss out on other helpful videos like this. Okay. In this video,
[82]
we're going to be talking about the number one greatest Forex indicator that's
[85]
out there. And is that actually possible? Is there one Holy grail indicator?
[89]
And the sad reality is, is not really, but there is one, in my opinion,
[93]
my studies and my understandings that has a higher likelihood of being able to
[97]
predict the future. Now, the, again,
[98]
the sad reality is if you're searching for the best forex indicators,
[102]
you're looking for some Holy grail magic approach to some indicator,
[106]
that's going to give you a high chance of predicting the future.
[109]
The reality is that you're just going to go from indicator to indicator,
[111]
to indicator, to indicator,
[113]
and you're going to end up broke likely until you figure this out.
[116]
Cause that's exactly what I did.
[117]
I went from indicator to indicator figuring there's a magic combination or
[119]
there's magic setting on these indicators that once I get it,
[122]
all trading will become really easy. And the reality is it's,
[125]
it's not really that way.
[126]
I actually didn't even figure this out until I got lucky.
[129]
I met a gentleman who was a ten-year bank trading veteran.
[131]
So he went down this rabbit hole of trying to find the best Forex indicators.
[135]
He went through trying to find the best strategies and all this sort of stuff.
[138]
And he actually ended up writing this book,
[140]
which you can download for free on our website.
[142]
It's actually called edge trading secrets,
[144]
the unspoken laws of a forex bank trader how to leave the herd and join the
[148]
smart money. Now, what he talks about in this book is really pretty interesting.
[151]
He says that what,
[153]
why is it that 99% of people are failing in Forex trading?
[157]
And he basically points to some major psychology problems that happened
[161]
with retail traders, which I'm going to talk about,
[163]
but he really says that understanding sentiment analysis is really the
[168]
finest combination of technical and fundamental perspectives. Obviously,
[172]
technical is looking at indicators fundamentals,
[174]
looking at the overall news and macro economic situation.
[177]
But sentiment analysis is the finest combination of the two.
[181]
And what sentiment analysis does is it looks at the behaviors and the
[184]
positioning of different market participants.
[186]
And I'm going to show you how you can actually read the sentiment via a
[189]
sentiment indicator and how to help this.
[192]
How do you use this to help give you an edge in your trading? Okay.
[195]
So sentiment basically means the opinion or more specific specifically how each
[200]
market participant translates their opinion of what's going to happen into
[203]
positioning. Okay. Sentiment analysis,
[205]
again is the finest combination of technical and fundamental analysis. Now,
[208]
in order to understand sentiment analysis,
[210]
you first have to understand that the Forex market is broken into two
[213]
components. There's the smart money and there's the herd. Okay.
[216]
The herd is like retail traders, the smart money consists of banks and funds.
[220]
Okay. And they're very different in the information that they have.
[224]
They're very different in the psychology that they have.
[226]
They're very different in the way that they diversify themselves also in the
[230]
amount of capital that they have. Okay. And as you know,
[233]
the smart money is almost always making money and they're just consistently
[236]
losing money. Okay. So here's what we're going to do.
[238]
So I'm going to show you how to actually use sentiment to your advantage.
[241]
So this is a free tool that you can take a look at on
[244]
myfxbook.com/community-outlook.
[247]
And basically what it's doing is it's pulling in data from thousands of
[251]
different retail traders.
[252]
And it'll tell you the overall net position of traders. Okay.
[256]
So if the red line is above the blue line,
[259]
the red line is basically short positions OK, or sell positions.
[263]
And the green line is buy positions or long positions, right?
[267]
So we can see here that clearly. Okay. Clearly. And I, and this is,
[271]
you're just, this is going to blow your mind, but clearly this is in an uptrend,
[274]
right? You can very easily see that it's making, you know, higher highs,
[277]
it's making higher lows, higher highs, higher lows is making higher highs,
[280]
higher lows. It's clearly in an upward trend, right?
[283]
But here let's take a look at retail sentiment and what the herd is actually
[287]
doing, because here's the thing.
[288]
If we know that the herd is almost always wrong, which they are like 95,
[292]
99% of the time, they're wrong.
[293]
Then would it make sense that we would just want to do the opposite of what
[296]
everybody else is doing,
[297]
it would align us with the smart money and give us a higher probability of
[300]
actually becoming a successful trader. So let's take a look at this.
[303]
So prices clearly on the uprise in what do we want to do?
[306]
We want to trade with the trend, right? That's that's obvious,
[309]
but look at what happens here, price is increasing. And what does the herd do?
[312]
The herd is increasing their short positions.
[315]
You can see the short lots right here, right? As I go wrong, 40,000 lots, 43,
[320]
48, 53, 54.
[321]
They're increasing the total amount of short positions that they are,
[325]
even though the market is going up. So all these people are wrong.
[328]
They're going into drawdown,
[329]
they're hitting their stop loss and they're blowing their account.
[331]
But you can see that the net position is still short. Okay.
[335]
The herd is still short,
[336]
even though the market continues to climb higher and higher and higher.
[339]
And what happens here,
[340]
you see this huge liquidation happen here as price spikes,
[344]
and a lot of people get a stop-loss out of their positions.
[347]
And you'll notice this on pretty much any currency pair on any timeframe that
[351]
the herd is consistently wrong. So hello. Well, if the herd is short,
[355]
then we most likely just to be long, right. It's really simple.
[359]
So we'll take a look here at the USD, Mexican peso here.
[362]
And this was just a very easy example. I mean, this has been, you know,
[366]
on a strong downtrend here for quite some time at this point, right? Well,
[370]
over a couple of months. Okay. Strong downtrend. And what do you see?
[374]
You see all green, which basically means what's happening. The herd is long,
[378]
even though the market is, uh, falling down and downtrending,
[381]
as you can see here, as the market moves lower and lower,
[384]
the herd continues to go long, long, long. They continue to go long, long, long,
[389]
even though the market's falling, falling, falling. And they go long, long,
[391]
long, long, long. Isn't that interesting. So what is actually happening here?
[394]
Well, there's a few things that I'm gonna show you how to put this together to
[397]
actually become a more effective trader. Okay.
[399]
So let me go back here and read from the edge trading secrets book,
[404]
which I highly recommend that you read this book.
[406]
If you're serious about becoming a trader, it is a little bit advanced,
[409]
but it's still really important to do this. So you may be thinking, well,
[412]
why is the herd always wrong? Why is it clearly an uptrend?
[415]
And why is the herd selling into an up trend? Well,
[417]
it's because they have some bad behaviors.
[419]
Number one behavior is that traders subconsciously think that price is too
[423]
expensive and they put a new sell position in the up move.
[426]
So this is the big problem here, right? So we can see here in an up position,
[430]
the herd is putting in sell positions, as we can see here,
[433]
because the herd basically thinks that price is too expensive.
[436]
So it's going to come back down. Right? And that's,
[439]
what is one of the biggest pitfalls of all of retail traders is,
[442]
is that they basically buy low and try to sell high, right?
[446]
That's what we've been taught our entire lives. But the problem is, you know,
[450]
we want to sell it when it's high,
[451]
but you don't know how much higher can continue to go or how much lower it can
[456]
go, if you're buying in a situation, how much lower can it continue to go?
[459]
Right? And that's where most people really mess up. Okay.
[463]
Behaviour two existing traders who are holding short positions since the market
[466]
is going against them.
[467]
They average into the losers and hopes that price will retrace. Okay.
[471]
So basically this means that if price continues going down,
[474]
like you can see here most retail traders instead of just cutting their loss and
[478]
trading in direction of the trend, they'll average into the losers.
[481]
Meaning they'll take a buy here, then they'll take another bite here.
[483]
Then they'll take another bite here, right?
[484]
In hopes that the market eventually retraces okay. And this is a huge,
[488]
huge problem for retail traders. Okay. Behaviour number three is,
[491]
is that traders who are holding long positions that are in profit will take
[495]
small profits. As price goes up, thus reducing the number of long positions.
[499]
Right? So again, they will take profit as price goes up.
[503]
And so they'll get out of the position instead of riding the trend.
[506]
And that will cause the net amount of long positions to fall and short positions
[510]
to rise. Okay. Next thing is,
[513]
is that they refuse retail traders refuse to put a stop loss.
[517]
They refuse to move, or excuse me, they refuse to put a stop loss.
[520]
They'll move their stop loss, or even cancel a stop loss as price goes up,
[525]
right? So price goes up and it's going against them. They're in a short trade,
[528]
they'll move their stop loss.
[530]
Or they'll even God forbid cancel the stop-loss altogether.
[533]
And this causes the herd to cut their profit short and let their losers
[538]
run basically.
[539]
And that's the big problem is that retail traders would prefer to take their
[543]
profit short and let the losses run because they see they're in profit.
[546]
Like I'm excited, I'm in profit. I'm going to take profit. Right.
[549]
And when they're in losing trades is that it's almost,
[551]
it's got to come against me. So I'll get into a better price, right?
[554]
And that's really the downfall. So when you break it down,
[556]
simply this is the reason why the herd is almost always wrong is because they
[560]
have, I have an urge to catch tops and bottoms.
[562]
That's what almost all Forex traders try to do.
[564]
They try to catch tops and bottoms.
[566]
And that's why they're pretty much always in the wrong direction of the trend.
[569]
And they hold onto their losses too large and they cut their profits too small.
[573]
So let's put this all together and teach you how you can become a more
[576]
successful trader. Okay. Now this is pretty eye-opening right.
[579]
You can see that here that this is a free tool. That again, you can use,
[583]
and you can see that, you know, you want to be opposite the crowd,
[586]
or you want to be contra crowd.
[588]
Now we've also put together a proprietary indicator called the bank's secret
[592]
indicator, which basically pulls in data. Okay. And again,
[596]
you don't have to use this,
[597]
but I want to show you this because it's powerful and you can try it again for
[599]
free for seven days and you only pay for it if you feel like it's worth it.
[602]
But based on what you've learned, check this out.
[604]
So it pulls in data from literally hundreds of thousands of retail traders from
[608]
my fx book, from different brokers, from all over the place.
[612]
And it tells you what the herd is.
[613]
So it's like a snapshot of what's happening in the market right now.
[616]
You can see the herd is 78% short. You can see that they're 22% long.
[620]
Isn't that interesting? They're short,
[622]
even though the market is clearly on an uptrend here, right?
[624]
And you can also see this as kind of just a nice little feature where if it's
[627]
blue, it's in an uptrend. If it's red,
[629]
it's in a downtrend for all the different timeframes.
[631]
So it's kind of just helpful, right?
[632]
And then also prints a supply and demand zones where prices likely to bounce off
[636]
of, which is really nice.
[637]
And it can even send you alerts to your phone and all of this sort of stuff.
[639]
But let's get back into talking about this. Okay. So what do we see here?
[643]
We see prices clearly in an uptrend. And just like we saw in my effects book,
[646]
we see the same thing here.
[647]
We see that the herd's net short position continues to rise where the herd
[652]
continues to sell into an uptrend. Isn't that interesting? Well,
[654]
let's take a look at another pair. For example, this is USD CHF.
[658]
You can see that the herd is long 79% long. So we would want to be short. Okay.
[663]
We would definitely want to be Contra crowd. And what do you see happening?
[665]
Prices falling in the herd is trying to catch the bottom and then like, okay,
[669]
this is the bottom I'm going to buy here. No,
[670]
this is the bottom I want to buy here. Now this is the bottom.
[672]
This is the bottom. And they continue to try to buy, buy, buy,
[675]
to try and catch the tops and the bottoms of the market. Okay.
[678]
And this is why most retail traders lose money.
[681]
And simply by trading Contra crowd or against the herd,
[684]
it can give you a serious, serious edge in the market. Now, look again.
[687]
It's just everywhere that you look, you can see that the herd is mostly short,
[690]
80% short, so we'd only want to be long, but what happens with price?
[694]
Price is clearly trending upwards here.
[696]
Yet the herd continues to remain short and look at this.
[699]
This is just baffling to me, but as price moves up,
[702]
you can see that the herd sediment is short, short, they're getting shorter,
[704]
they're getting shorter. They're getting shorter,
[706]
even though prices rising high, high, and high. How does that make any sense?
[709]
So simply just, you know,
[711]
using the sentiment is a tool that can give you a massive edge.
[715]
And this is arguably the easiest way to find if a trend is happening or not.
[719]
Okay. You know,
[720]
a lot of people use different sorts of indicators to try to find if a market is
[723]
trending well,
[724]
the sentiment is actually the finest way that you can find the trendiness of a
[729]
market. You'll notice that when this is like 50 50, or it's closer together,
[733]
you can see that the market is not as much in a trend. And I'll, you know,
[736]
I'll try to pull something up for you guys really quickly here to show you.
[740]
Okay. So this is actually a perfect example. You can see USD JPY, it's 52, 48.
[744]
So you know, the bears and the bulls are kind of battling.
[748]
There's no clear direction. And what do you see happening with price prices,
[751]
kind of stalling. It's kind of ranging here. You can see it starting to range,
[754]
or, you know, it's quite choppy here. It's even quite choppy right here.
[758]
And that's really interesting. So when you see these numbers really far apart,
[761]
you're likely in a trend, or if you see them getting further apart,
[764]
you're likely getting into a further trend. Like for example, you know,
[767]
you can see that these are quite far apart, 80 20,
[769]
and you can see that the market is starting to trend. I bet you,
[772]
if you were right here, for example,
[773]
these two numbers would be closer to closer, like 50, 50 or something like that.
[777]
Okay. So this is also an amazing way to predict the trend. Okay.
[782]
So that being said, if you found this helpful,
[783]
then consider trying the bank's secret indicator for free for seven days and
[787]
only paying for it.
