 Hey, what's up, new people? It's yours, Julie Dapo-Wolis, and oh, I'm having a fantastic day. Guys, today in this video, I want to discuss about something called market manipulation. So what exactly is market manipulation? This is basically when you get into a trade, your predictions are correct, but your stop losses get stopped out before the market goes in your direction. It is something called market manipulation and there are some forces behind this that a lot of traders are actually not familiar with. So today, that's exactly what I want to discuss with you guys. I'm going to be jumping on my desk pretty soon, but I just decided to, you know, just chill in my living room, not every time I stay on my desk, be yabbing, blah blah blah. Anyways, guys, I'm going to take you to my desk very soon, but today is a really nice sunny day in Dubai, and I think today is Saturday, as I went and recorded in this video. Guys, outside, right outside my balcony is the pool side, and trust me guys, the girls there are... Oh my God. People ask me, why do you spend so much money paying $2,000 every month paying for this apartment? I'm like, guys, because it has the best balcony views of the pool with the most beautiful view in the world, bro. Anyways, back to what I was saying, guys. Let's jump on my desk, let's talk about forex trading. In this video, I want to share with you guys how to overcome market manipulation, how to position your trades in such a way you really get stopped out, and the best place to put your stop losses and stuff like that. So guys, if you're interested in this, stick around while we go to my desk. For those of you who want to see some of the girls outside, I'm going to see, should I do a quick b-roll of that? I'll think about it. If you don't see it, you don't see it. If you see it, you see it. Anyways, guys, let's go. Alright, people, welcome inside of my desk. Yes, I'm back on my desk. Now, guys, I'm not going to waste too much time here. I'm going to be jumping right into my charts because this segment or rather this video is going to be more practical, okay? I need to show you guys the concept of market manipulation. Like I said, why you keep getting stopped out and all the other stuff, and how to protect yourself, how to position your trades in such a way whereby you don't keep getting stopped out. Guys, I don't know why I'm so excited today. I don't know, maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's, I don't know what it is. But yes, market manipulation. Guys, I tell you what. I used to be a victim to market manipulation. Like I'll get the trade right. I'll get the direction right. But the entries, once I get into the trade, market will just stop me out and then go in my direction. This is so depressing. It makes me so sad. I used to cry a bit like, oh my God. Like, who is chasing me? This is my village. People are chasing me. Oh my God. You know, we Africans, we were so superstitious. Anyways, guys, let us go into my screen right about now. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. All right, guys, and welcome inside of my screen. Now, like I said, I needed to use some charts to show you guys. First of all, explain to you guys the concept of market manipulation, why you keep getting stopped out all the damn time, and possibly how to come back from, rather how to ensure that your trades don't keep getting stopped out by the market makers and the investment banks. But before proceeding to that, let me quickly explain to you guys what the market manipulation concept is about. Now, a lot of people feel like their forex brokers are after them. A lot of people feel like, oh, when they get into a trade, somebody's chasing them, somebody's after them. This is one of the psychological effects from taking a lot of losses. You start to feel like somebody's after you, somebody's chasing me. I've seen a lot of people tell me, I don't like my broker. I'm like, what's wrong with your broker? Every time I get into a trade, I feel like they're jumping in rather there. I feel like they're, what's it called? I feel like they're kind of like taking the other side of my trade. The honest truth is brokers have nothing. Sorry, let me adjust my camera. In this case, brokers are not the corporates. The corporates in this case are actually the investment banks, the hedge funds, the big boys who move the market. These are the people who are responsible for running stops. These are the people who, when you get into trades on lower timeframes, these are the people that make sure that your trade gets stopped out before it goes in your direction. Now, today I'm going to be illustrating and demonstrating to you guys why this happened, okay? So that you know exactly how to protect yourself. So as you can see, I have a very blank chart in front of me. I'm going to be using diagrams to illustrate what I'm trying to express to you guys. So I want you guys to sit back and really listen and understand what exactly it is I'm trying to teach you guys here. So let's give a classic scenario whereby, so you have to understand that most of these guys that work for the investment banks, hedge funds and stuff like that, these guys have sophisticated market equipment that retail traders, retail traders being you and I don't have access to. They know this stuff really well. So they have access to all these things and they can pretty much see where all the stop losses are. They can see based on volume. They can see where your stop losses are, your take profits are and stuff like that, based on volume. So they can see all where the pending orders are and just by common sense, they can pretty much tell where retail traders will most likely get into a trade. So let me demonstrate this with some diagrams. So let's take this to be a resistance level. Now for those of you guys who learned how to trade from all these seminars and baby pips and stuff like that, you were most likely taught some very basic concepts about forex which is okay and not okay at the same time and I'll explain to you why. Now most forex traders who are in the game 99% of forex traders who are in the game are taught to sell at resistance levels. They're taught to sell in regions like about here and theoretically there's nothing wrong with this because if the market has resisted this level a couple of times, so let me give you an example. If the market has resisted this level a couple of times like as you can see right about here, market has resisted this level a couple of times like about here, I mean why not if this market is pulling back into this region about here, I mean it looks like this is looking like a very clear cut sell trade, this is a double top, everything is looking nice. Why not, the average retail trader, the average trader who has studied the market and studied seminars and baby pips should be selling about here, this is a double top, this is a classic fantastic sell trade. However, because of the fact that mass human psychology is thinking the same thing that gives the investment banks, the hedge funds the boys who move the market an edge over us because everybody is thinking the same thing. So if everybody is wanting to sell at this level about here what does that mean for our stop losses? It means that our stop losses will be somewhere about here. This is what they teach you, forex 101. This is what they teach you, this is what I learnt when I was learning how to trade. This is standard practical stuff. This is why you hear me when I preach on the forex mastery course that as much as you have read from every aspect as much as you have gone to different seminars nothing beats experience in this market, nothing. Because you find out that what you have read isn't always applicable in real life and that's exactly why I put the course together because on the course is me speaking from 10 years what I've experienced and also I have a module on market manipulation as well for those of you who haven't grabbed it click the link below to grab it but that's not why I'm here today. So I learnt how to do this from baby pips double top resistance level sell stop losses above previous highs 15 pips, 20 pips, 30 pips above previous highs and it's time for us to go selling like I said they don't need a rocket scientist to tell them that this level is looking like a strong level retail traders will most likely be interested in this level and they're going to be putting their stop losses above previous highs. Good. Now what usually happens is you'll find out that you would get into your trade about here when you sell the market about here the market will probably push down a bit lower for you give you some pips this is psychological warfare mess with your head a little bit give you some pips and then you close your phone you close your laptop and you're like yes this market is going to go to my direction targets are already here this is a no brainer no one even a baby can tell what the market is going to do next it's going to come down and then for some strange reason you now see a bullish engulfing candle take the market back into your entry now this time you're like I thought this thing was coming down and then before you know what's happening the market is chasing the previous resistance again and then you're saying to yourself okay that's fine that's absolutely fine I'm just going to maybe it's a triple top and then the market just keeps surging and surging at this time guys blood is running to your brain rather blood is running from your brain your head goes cold guys this is to happen to me I had to just go cold every morning you wake up you're checking your phone you're checking to make sure what exactly is happening what exactly is happening you're checking your empty phone every time you open the empty phone you're looking at the price the price has gone higher by 10 pips 20 pips, 30 pips, 40 pips and then you open your chat and then you're so close to getting stopped and then eventually you get stopped out you're like oh my god and then before you know what's happening the market gets here and then the market gets here before you know what's happening what actually tends to happen before the market even starts to reverse so you're saying to yourself since I've gotten stopped out at this point that means the market wants to go higher and then in your mind as a trader you start looking for the next resistance level maybe somewhere above here and then you want to start buying you want to start buying and then you start buying you buy and next thing you find out that the market now comes back down to your profit take profit level so you have lost money with this top loss and this buy trade that you bought here was expecting market has come back down here okay and has stopped you out twice so you have two losing trades and at this point you are frustrated now for a lot of people that have small trading accounts when you have a small trading account you really use adequate risk management so you're thinking to yourself maybe you've probably blown 40% of your account 50% of your account on this trade because on the first trade it looked like a no brainer this thing was supposed to come down and touch your why what the hell is happening you're down 50% you're sad, you don't know what to do you start clicking other pairs and this is exactly where the mistakes that happen and before you know what's happening now ladies and gentlemen sit back and relax I want to explain to you guys why this happens I want to explain to you guys the rationale behind market manipulation you guys really need to listen to this once again for those of you who haven't grabbed the forex mastery course the link is going to be down below obviously I explained this in more detail in the course for the students as well but I'm going to try my best in this video to illustrate and demonstrate and help you guys out if I might not put in all the information here obviously because it's quite exclusive to the forex mastery course students are not going to be happy if I do that but I'll definitely try my best to explain the concept to you guys very well so what is the concept behind market manipulation it is nothing more than investment banks wanting to make more money so let's go into finance and banking just a little bit I'll break it down so that you guys understand what the rationale behind this is so a lot of traders will call a resistance level an order block they will call it an order block they will call it supply and demand they have so many needs for it I call them key zones because I don't think they are order blocks because if they were order blocks the market shouldn't be breaking through them because markets break through support and resistance every single day like they didn't exist if there were order blocks the orders should at least the market should at least respect those orders to a certain extent but I've seen the market break through support and resistance like it never even existed so I don't believe in the word order block supply and demand I call them key levels that way if a key level is broken then shit it didn't respect the key level but it's up to the next one so that's the way I think about it so this is a key level okay are watching this level very closely okay guys listen to what I'm saying this will really help your trading transform your life even so this is a key level the market has come in here for a double top the market has come in here for a double top and then like I said you're not the only one watching this key level the banks are watching this key level as well now this is how investment banking works for traders why is my thing you know wanting to move I can't move this thing right behave yourself now this is exactly how investment banking works now I've worked in an investment bank before when I was a student in Coventry University I did a pretty short internship so what it is is at the bank we would receive an order to buy maybe maybe significant amount of euros against the dollar we can buy the currency pair maybe we have a big client that wants to hedge their exposure what does this mean maybe they are maybe they are trading in cotton or coffee and they are not comfortable with their exposure to the market in that commodity so they will give us a call behind the scenes of this market so what I am trying to explain to you they will give us a call we would like to buy maybe 1 million units of the euro USD so that we can hedge our bets we can hedge our exposure to a parallel market so we will receive the phone call and we will be like for instance this is AUD USD the pair I want you guys to listen to what I am saying very carefully here they told us that so we asked them at what price would you want us to make this transaction happen and they will tell us they want for instance they want us to make this transaction happen at let's say at let's say they want this okay so this reverses the case here so this is short sell now guys please work with me here I want you guys to open your mind we want to short the euro to the tune of 1 million units now for the fact that they want to short actually what I am going to do is let me flip this chart around because if I use short selling in this situation it might confuse a lot of traders okay I want to flip this around let's flip it to the buy scenario because when it's buy a lot of people it's a lot easier for people to buy but once I start saying short sell sell sell short sell people might get confused I don't want that so like I said this is the support level the case works in every direction support level you've seen support trades whereby the market has come into your support and then you know you try to buy it here and then for you know what's happening the market just dips even further dips even further and then stops you before the market eventually starts heading in your direction now what I'm trying to explain is what is that what happens around this region so like you know what to do next time you see it so back to what I was saying now for instance we've got in a call that they want to buy AUD 1 million units of AUD USD and we're going to ask them okay at what price do you want us to fill this order now clients are very very adamant about their price because if the price shifts a bit they lose a significant amount of money now the client can tell us that okay okay they want us to fill at they're probably looking at their charts as well they're looking at the not necessarily charts but they're looking at reports their screen they can see where the key levels are they're telling us that they want us to fill the orders at 0.65529 and that's exactly at this level about here good now don't forget we're filling 1 million units if we fill 1 million units if we do the translation might be half a billion dollars in value if we value how much dollars we're going to as in how much of the money we're going to put into the market to buy AUD USD so it's half a billion dollars a significant amount of money the orders are always massive now we're going to say to ourselves in the bank that while I was working there we'll say to ourselves like buy work 500 million dollars worth of AUD USD at this level knowing fully well that the whole world is also buying at this level as well if we buy here we will not be able to fulfill now this is investment banks thinking they won't let's say they because I don't work for them anymore they won't be able to fulfill all their orders at this level they won't be able to fill if they did come to put in order if me, you, everybody is buying here by the time and our orders are small so our orders get filled instantly our brokers will feel our orders empty for me we bought but they is a different process because it's a lot of money so by the time they are able to fill their orders the market has moved away from their desired entry price about here probably around here that they are client specified to them now that's a loss for them because who covers the difference in price so they have to find a way to ensure that they fulfill the orders at this level or even cheaper which is down here so do you know what they do at this level they will see retail traders are looking to buy at this level we can buy at this level so what are we going to do we need to find a way for AUDUSD to become even cheaper so that by the time we start buying the market by the time we start buying and the market starts to rise would have been able to fulfill all our orders before it gets to the price that the client gave us and potentially even make more money because if for instance something is AUDUSD and your client has told you to make sure you buy it at AUDUSD okay if you buy it at AUDUSD you've made AUDUSD on top before it gets to AUDUSD do you get what I mean if you are able to get it at AUDUSD but you tell the client that bought it at AUDUSD everybody is okay because the client has specified AUDUSD but if the client tells you to buy it at AUDUSD and you are able to get it at AUDUSD that's the way it works so this is exactly what they do it's called induced selling they will notice that all the retail traders have started buying around here buying buying buying buying buying do you know what they will do they will allow all the retail money coming here and then out of the 500 million dollars they would now inject 100 million to 150 million dollars into the market selling AUDUSD putting pressure at this region pushing it further they will push it or they will allow traders to think that this level has held sorry guys I need to demonstrate this properly stay with me guys this is very this is some shit you never hear anywhere so they will do something like this they will allow the retail traders that the market everything is all good all well and good then they will drop a massive sale 150 to 200 million dollars and then they will push the market down here now something interesting happens around this region now think about it guys I want you guys to be very logical open your mind your old traders watching this very important now think about this when you buy when you buy here this is underneath here it's your stop loss right now think about this logically what is the opposite of a buy I bought AUDUSD in order for me to live AUDUSD I have to close my trade right forget about selling short because selling in forex is not actually selling we are shorting the market short means making money when the price goes down I'm not talking about that your stop loss represents closing the trade so what you are actually doing is you are exiting the trade so that stop loss is technically a sell trade so what they can see is at this point they can see a lot of sell orders around here I will explain this like 5 times you guys must understand this concept you have to understand because you will make your wiser trader I will take it again they have induced this market down so that it can come to the stop loss region where there are a lot of sell orders why so that there are enough orders around here to don't forget they want to buy now if you get to a point whereby there are a lot of sell orders it is a lot easier for them to fulfill their orders because your stop losses will be absorbing their will be absorbing their buy trades because there will be a lot of stop loss stop loss and then they will just be buying this way the market doesn't shake that much this way there is somewhat of an equilibrium because as they are feeling as they are going into the market to buy AUD USD as they are going into the don't forget and don't misunderstand me their inducement trade they close it out they will now come here where all the stop losses are technically sales are and even here even apart from the stop loss don't forget traders believe that after you break a stop after you break a key level for instance like here they feel like the next the next logical thing for you to do is sell because think about if you try to buy here the market doesn't go up and it starts coming down you want to start selling so you have traders that want to start selling because they got stopped out you have traders who are waiting for this level to break in the first place so that they can start selling and you also have traders that have stop losses here which is technically a sale so this region is a sea of sell orders perfect area for them to now coming with their buy and their buys will get fulfilled at an even better price so this equilibrium so they would have sacrificed a hundred million dollars induce the market to an area of a lot of orders a lot of sell orders that can fulfill their own orders that's what I've been looking for fulfill their own orders so they will induce the market take it to an area of sell a hundred million dollars and mop up all the sell orders mop up everything with their buys and then they will now start to see them they will be dropping the money and then you start to see the market surge all the way to the upside what they've done is they've sacrificed a hundred million dollars out of the five hundred million dollars that they gave to them to execute the trade best believe they probably made three hundred million dollars profit because if they sacrifice a hundred million for instance like I was saying five dollars your client told you buy this at five dollars what you've done is you use one dollar or rather you're getting at one dollar you spend some money getting at one dollar and then you're getting at one dollar so that by the time the market gets to three dollars two point five or three dollars you've recovered the amount of money you spent to drive the price down so from three dollars to five dollars it's all profit for you it's a complex it's banking but this is the rationale behind market manipulation I'm going to summarize this thing properly and I'm going to teach you guys how to go about positioning yourselves in such a way whereby this thing doesn't affect you guys once you understand this when I keep talking that lower timeframes are subject to a lot of market manipulation people think I'm crazy people think I'm crazy because these investment banks usually come to fulfill client's orders on lower timeframes so they will spike the market up and down the whole place to weed out retail traders getting the best price possible make their money and get out they do this on a daily basis higher timeframes is always ideal because that is when they're coming to stake longer time positions this is when they're coming to direct the market in its path the higher timeframes are a lot they're not subject to a lot of noise but for those of you who trade lower timeframes let me quickly run and I'll show you guys how to combat this let me quickly explain this to you guys one more time simple double support level push it up my guy is trying to buy here he wants to buy here he buys the market gives him some profit next thing down here market makers have pushed no market makers their clients give to them because there's a lot of sell orders here that can fulfill their buy orders why? because if they buy here with everybody else that is buying the market will react this is the ideology behind market manipulation and then before you know what's happening they buy at the best price possible and they keep buying and everybody now jumps on all the retail traders everybody now realizes okay the market won't start going up everybody now starts buying all the way to the upside but by this time by this time you have lost probably about 50% of your account you're scared to get into the market you just let the trade go by this time the market rallies up in the direction you wanted it to go you're now scared you don't want to touch the market you're freaked out you're just sad and all that kind of thing so guys this is pretty much the rationale behind market manipulation I'm going to draw it one more time so that you guys understand how do we position ourselves in such a way whereby so this is the impulse leg that came in this is the that's why I always advise that you guys should not be trading around key levels and then this happens stops you out and then market goes in the direction it was supposed to go happens on a daily basis I see it happen a lot of traders complain to me about it stuff like that now how do we go about combating it now the ideology is very simple absolutely very simple so this is exactly what you do you want to understand once you understand the concept if you don't understand the concept rewind because now I'm about to tell you guys what to do sorry to cut this video short around about here but whilst my team was editing the video they found out that what I was about to show you guys here on youtube is actually on the forex mastery course is an exclusive module called market manipulation and to be honest I don't think it is fair for me to put that out for on here obviously I'm talking about the strategy to overcome market manipulation which I was just about to share with you guys it's actually a module on the forex mastery platform I think it's module 6 because of that reason I will not be able to share with you the strategy that I use to combat market manipulation entries, exits all that kind of stuff I'm sorry I really can't share that here because you have to understand that people have invested $99 to buy the program and it won't be fair if I'm giving everything away for free already we have students who are complaining that I give away too much on my youtube channel so if you want to find out more about how to combat market manipulation I suggest you get the program once again the link is going to be down here it's just $99 now for the forex mastery students who are watching this all you need to do is simply go back to Willis University look up for that module again and then watch it because it's possible that you might have watched it before and then you just skip past it watch it again because in that video we go over the causes of market manipulation why they are called like I just explained to you guys right about here and then in that module I provide a solution as well once again my youtube followers my youtube subscribers I'm really sorry but I cannot share the solution to this problem with you guys right here on youtube I hope you guys understand this but I'll continue to share as much information as I can for free and then but most importantly I want you guys to rather most importantly I hope you guys were able to understand why market manipulation happens how it occurs and hopefully you guys come on the program so that you can actually find out how to go about combatting it once again it's your truly dapple Willis I love you guys very much I hope you guys are as transparent as possible but for this time around you know I have to give you guys priority so once again I'll catch you guys in my subsequent videos take it easy and peace out
