 What's up guys? This is Alex from Xtrades. Today I'm going to be going over a Camarilla Pivot Day Trading Strategy which I've found pretty good success in. I've made a PDF file actually of back test results. Ended up with a 70% win rate on ticker symbol QQQ which is an ETF for tech and I also did a back test on IWM which is covering the medium to small caps. But this video I just kind of want to go into detail more. Show a live example for each setup. Make it more visual based for people who would rather watch a video. So first let's go ahead and get into what are Camarilla Pivots. So Camarilla Pivots are an automatic support and resistance indicator created by Nick Scott. He was also a bond trader in the 80s, had his own firm, came up with this equation and some people even speculate online that this indicator was actually reverse engineered because he never even released the formula or the math equation to release this indicator in the first place. It was kind of proprietary software traded in his own firm and you know if you have something successful like that most people are trying to keep it on the download. So they're created from the close, the high and low of the previous day's range and after those are established the Camarilla math equation is then added to your Pivots for the next day. So your Pivots are always created from your previous day range. There's a total of 10 created but we're only focusing on six so we're focusing on R5, R4, R3, S3, S4, S5 and you can imagine already the S dancer support, the R dancer resistance. But there's actually two or I'm sorry four more so there's a S1, S2, R1, R2 and they're added around here but we're only focusing on these six because these are our focus Pivots. These will provide our entry or exit and our stop loss. So this strategy actually provides too long too short each giving an entry a target and a stop loss and we're gonna go ahead and get into some live examples. We're gonna do a playback on TradingView and go ahead and show you how it would look sort of in real time as price is moving. Alright guys let's go ahead and get into example number one. So today we're gonna be doing an S3 to R3 long. This S3 to R3 range is actually tradable in both directions but we're gonna be going over the first one. So we're gonna go over two longs and then two shorts. So we're gonna let QQQ playback do its thing here. Alright and initially it pulls up in the R3. You can see it gives a really good short. Could I enter it after this confirmed candle or if you're smart enough you could top-tick it and to appear if you're not a person who waits for confirmation of course. But it's all about knowing market sentiment but let's go ahead and let this dip into S3. Alright and you can use 15 minute candles as well. I personally use both so I'll go down to the five minute just to see on a smaller time frame if this is holding up and sometimes I'll use the 15 minute just to give me an overall feel for you know for a quarter hour. So we can see right here we are holding up the S3 perfectly. I'll go ahead and give you our risk profile here. We have an entry at S3. We have a stop-loss down here at S4. It's always gonna be your stop-loss S4 for an S3 long. Target's always gonna be R3. So I'm sorry S3 entry S4 stop-loss R3 target. Go ahead and let this play out and over time you just see how perfect this works. Alright so we got our target hit right there. It's perfect. Didn't even flinch to go down to the stop-loss and you can see that the reward is actually wider than the stop-loss. So your risk to reward on this specifically if you entered on this candle it's one point out. So it's giving you about one to one. And you know that's that's pretty much ideal but in this S3 to R3 range it's usually always going to be wider than your stop-loss or then your entry to stop-loss. It really depends where you enter but you can see that we just entered on the first five minute candle and just rift to the upside. Going down to your technicals you could even argue that the downtrend line was broken right here. So that's another reason to get in. In our next example we're going to go into our second long which is our next tradable range is the R4 to R5. That's actually a breakout trade to the upside. So you're trading between these and we'll go ahead and get into that now. Alright let's go ahead and get into example number two. This is QQQ same ticker works really well. We're going to get into the R4 to R5 long. We'll let this play out a little bit. So you can see initially it gapped up super heavy. A lot of people are probably thinking short right away you know get that gap filled trade. If you're using the camera lipid strategy know not to go short until it's completely broken under R3. You need a confirmed candle under so this would actually save you from getting trapped. So we're going to let it play out. We're waiting for our first candle over R4 to give us our entry. All right we got our first one right there. Let's go ahead and set a risk profile on the first one. Set a risk profile R4. Stop loss is always going to be R3. So R4 long always going to have an R3 stop loss. Always going to have an R5 target. So we've got our target all the way up here. This is giving you about a 1.32 risk to reward ratio just really good. You usually want it to be higher than your loss of course. So let's go ahead and let this play out. And you can see once we just got that confirmation candle just totally rips to the upside. So I just need to give this some room. All right keep giving it room. We're going to have widen it. All right our target was hit right there. So you see the point. Target was hit right there. Go ahead and zoom out a little bit. This is your whole whole trade right here. So we entered on the first candle over R4 and let it rip to the upside. You can do the same thing. You know I was telling you about the last setup. You could sell halfway if you want. You don't have to hold out for the full target. But you know if you're going to do that make sure you adjust your stop loss. If you plan on selling a little bit early make your stop a little tighter because you better risk the reward so you know so you don't get screwed. Just in case your plan doesn't go you know as planned. And we're going to go ahead and get into two shorts next. Let's see. Let's see what our first one's going to be. We're going to go over S4 to S5 short. And all of these trades are actually you know really close within each other. So these are you know these are valid in current markets which are very volatile. We're still on a bear market but I wanted to make sure that we're getting live examples of you know recent trades. You know stuff that's going to work right here right now with recent ranges. So let's go ahead and get into our next one. All right guys let's go ahead and get into our S4 to S5 short. So this is our tradable range right here. And you're going to have an S3 stop loss with that. And you can see initially QQQ pulls in the S3 here actually bounces off it gave a good S3 to R3 long opportunity. It could have sold around here. I know I would have. Actually I'm pretty sure this is on a Friday and we did trade this S3 to R3 long and just sold on the breakout. Anyways let's go ahead and get into the S4 to S5 short. All right and here we go. Now you can see the selling pickup volume picks up. Let's go ahead and set a risk profile. This is going to be short so let's switch it short position. This is our five minute candle under and your stop loss is always S3. So for the S4 to S5 short your stop loss is always S3. We're going to widen it now just in case and now we'll let it play. And you can just see man it's just it's ridiculous. Once it gets down to the zone it's just perfect. All right makes a little bear flag right there. Tries to make a bottom of fails. Target should hit relatively soon. I don't remember this staying down here for I'm sorry I don't remember this holding up for too long. I'm pretty sure the S5 hit pretty quick. So all right and target hit perfect. So you can see it's another complete trade. S4 breakdown we enter on the first candle. Stop loss going to be S3. Target's always going to be S5. I like to do the same things before sell halfway. Just make sure you tighten your stop halfway to them. So that's our first short. We're going to go ahead and get into our next one. It's going to be R3 to S3 long. You already I'm sorry R3 to S3 short. You already saw a preview of that on our first example pulled up in R3 rejected hard off it. So we're going to pull up another example of that and you'll see how that is also a successful strategy. Let's go ahead and get into that. All right let's go ahead and get into our last one. So this is going to be a R3 to S3 short. This actually it looks like it gives an S3 to R3 long as well. So we'll just let it play out just so you can see how well it works for both. So you get the S3 long here runs up perfectly up to R3 eventually here. I think it's up to R3 to put our risk profile. All right we hit R3. So that's perfect. I'll even do the risk profile again for the long. So yeah long position. Remember we got an S3 entry S4 stop loss R3 target. So it would be a long setup hit successfully but now recovering the short. So let's go ahead and get into a short risk profile get a short position. I'm going to wait for that rejecting candle. All right we got a rejecting candle here off R3. So our stop for these are always going to be R4. So similar to how you saw the S4 short the stop loss was S3 this is going to be R4 on an R3 entry. Target's going to be S3. So it's literally just the opposite of the S3 long. It's just the R3 short. So just switching it up going opposite. You can buy puts on this. You could go short stock whatever works for you. Go ahead and let this play out. Pretty sure this hits pretty quick. It's definitely had to have been a fun range of trade this day and you can see it's super quick. This is maybe like within an hour or so. So our target hit another successful trade. So you could have gotten long here hit target no stop loss hit and you could have gone short here. No stop loss hit. So two successful trades one day. You can just see how well the strategy works and actually there's two more that I haven't back tested by the way. I haven't back tested this strategy but there's two other trades. They're counter trend reversal trades and you're actually using the R5 and S5 for an entry. But I might have to make a video on that when I have more data. Whenever I have more data I might be able to show that it works successfully. But me and you know some other people do take those counter trend you know R5 and S5 trades. The only thing is that there's no stop loss. There's no stop loss pivot. You'd have to make your own and then you're just countering. So if you went short at the R5 counter you'd be exiting at the R4 for a target. And same if you went long at an S5 counter you'd be exiting at an S4. So like I said you don't have a stop loss because it only goes up to S5 and then only goes up to R5. So those are your entries so impossible to have an automatic stop loss. You'd have to make your own. But I really hope you guys found some use in this. I am going to go ahead and upload the PDF file of the back test results. It has all four setups in there. So if you need to go back and review it it's obviously not going to be these same examples. It's just going to be different dates because I did make it a couple months ago. So I hope you guys enjoyed. I'm going to go ahead and log out here. If you guys need anything just let me know.
