The Strategy I'm Seeing Results With - How it Works

Tyler Stokes Season 2 Episode 9

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 9 of the "Day Trading for Beginners" podcast. I'm Tyler Stokes from StokesTrades.com, and as I progress in my journey to become a full-time day trader, I've been exploring various trading strategies. Today, I'll share more specifics about the strategy I'm currently learning, which is more aligned with swing and position trading, though it can be adapted for day trading as well.


Note: This episode was originally released under the podcast name Day Trading for Beginners, now rebranded as Stock Trading for Beginners.

Market Symmetry Strategy: The core of this strategy revolves around market symmetry, recognizing patterns that repeat over time. Key components include:

  • Entry Points: Buy at support levels or after a backtest of a breakout.
  • Trading Philosophy: Focuses on buying during pullbacks to support levels, utilizing patterns to guide trading decisions without emotional interference.


Tools and Indicators: To implement this strategy effectively, I use several technical tools:

  • Ichimoku Clouds: Provides a visual representation of support and resistance.
  • Fibonacci Retracements: Helps identify potential reversal points.
  • Gann Charts: Used to observe market symmetry and predict future price movements.
  • Market Structure Analysis: Understanding overall bullish or bearish trends to make informed trading decisions.


Learning from a Pro: I've been learning this strategy from a professional trader known as The Great Mattsby, whose insights on market symmetry have been invaluable. For those interested, I've included links to his resources and Patreon in this write up.


Practical Application: Practicing this strategy in my paper trading account has been immensely beneficial. It's one thing to study a strategy, but applying it practically offers a whole new level of understanding and skill development.


Next Steps: In the upcoming podcast episodes, I'll share my experiences applying these strategies, focusing on the rules I've followed and the common mistakes encountered during live trading sessions.
