On the 1-minute chart, trade only in the direction of a downloadable 'non-repaint' trend indicator: when it is red, wait for price to move above the 20 EMA and then close back below it, confirmed by a bearish %K/%D cross on a Stochastic (8,5,3); mirror for green/longs. Take profit at only 25% of the move measured from the swing extreme to the entry (a fib 125 level), which the video says wins 9 times out of 10.
