Description

Volatility Indices as the name says vary in their volatility. Even though we trade a portfolio of more than 5 indices, Volatility Index 75 is an example of the most volatile indices whilst Volatility Index 10 is an example of the least volatile indices. There is also a class of Volatility Indices on the broker we use and these are classified as HF (High Frequency) Indices or volatility (s) index. The main difference between the HF and the ordinary indices is that the HF indices are 4 times faster. Understanding this can give us the advantage we want in the markets. However, because of their volatility, we can make more pips faster when we are on the right side of the market and the opposite is also true when caught on the wrong side of the market.In this course, I have explained in detail how you can trade the volatility indices using supply and demand (SMC) concepts. My goal and desire is to give you a mechanical approach, one strategy that will enable you to capitalize on their volatilities.In the market structure section, you will learn how to map the market structure correctly. Market structure is the backbone of any market. A good understanding of market structure will increase your strike rate and change the way you look at the asset. The in-depth section on market structure will equip you with all the knowledge you need to be able to identify the proper market structure and also be able to mark it. The liquidity concept section will help you understand what liquidity is, its importance, and how the market works out liquidity to move from one price point to another. You will learn how to apply liquidity concepts to find high-probability zones.Finally, you will finish the course with supply and demand. The supply and demand section equips you with the knowledge of how to mark high-probability zones. You will learn the criteria for selecting a valid supply zone to filter out bad zones.This approach to trading will increase your risk to reward with an average RR of 1:5 per trade. And what makes it even more interesting is its 70-80% win rate based on the backtesting data as well as live trades taken.I invite you to an adventure as you embark on this journey!
