Why did my cloud-based AI forex advisor say short EUR/USD? In this video I break down the reasoning behind the call, built on Smart Money Concepts, Volume Profile, and On Balance Volume logic, using a trade from my OANDA account. I explain what the AI advisor saw, how each layer contributed, and what had to line up before the setup qualified, so you can judge the logic on its merits rather than just its outcome.
In this video:
✅ The EUR/USD short recommendation, with the alert timestamp
✅ Why a demand zone appears in a short setup: price trading into or just above demand, the zone failing, and how that changes the read (see the note below)
✅ Volume Profile: high-volume nodes, low-volume zones, and where price found rejection near the entry
✅ On Balance Volume (OBV): whether selling pressure confirmed the move, or where it disagreed
✅ Smart Money Concepts: the liquidity event and bearish market structure shift that framed the trade
✅ The checklist the setup had to pass, and what would have invalidated it
✅ Entry, stop loss, and target, with the reasoning for each level
✅ What happened next, with the real OANDA trade history
A quick expectation check: this is one setup explained in detail, not a track record, a prediction, or a recommendation to take the same trade. A well-reasoned setup can still lose, and the advisor is not infallible.

00:01I'm Gus Schmidt, and I'm back again with another trading video.
00:06So today I'm on the Nexus Institutional Expert Advisor.
00:13The Nexus EA is a trading advisor, a forex trading advisor,
00:18that I've coded program developed over the past several months
00:23that helps me identify high-probability trades with these forex pairs here.
00:31I've programmed a number of forex pairs into the engine, including here,
00:38if we look to the left, as I scroll down, the euro, U.S. dollar,
00:42great British crown, U.S. dollar, U.S. dollar, Japanese yen,
00:46Aussie dollar, U.S. dollar, U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar, Swiss franc,
00:53here, let's go back up, great British pound, Japanese yen,
00:59New Zealand dollar, U.S. dollar, and XAU, U.S. dollar, which is spot gold.
01:06Currently, I'm in the live silver bullet window.
01:09If you check here, look at this screen here at the top right.
01:13This is the silver bullet window.
01:16I'm going to be looking for analyzing trades during the New York session here.
01:21It's approximately 10.15.
01:24The silver bullet window is approximately 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time,
01:3011 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
01:33And this is one of the opportune times to look for trade setups.
01:37It's because the markets generally open at around 9.30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
01:42And so you wait for the markets to open, let things settle down, and then we can identify trades.
01:52This is the absolutely best time.
01:54I've been doing extremely well running this engine during this time period here.
02:00In order to run the AI analyst, first of all, the training engine utilizes artificial intelligence,
02:11smart money concepts, volume profile, and on-balance volume logic that I've coded
02:18into the core engine logic of this expert advisor.
02:23In order to run the expert advisor, you're going to need a Gemini API key.
02:32Now, if you click on this button here, this gears icon here, I already have my Gemini API key
02:41programmed into the engine here.
02:44I have a tutorial that I've built into the engine, and all you need is a free Gemini AI studio
02:53account
02:54in order to generate a key here.
02:56So I have a tutorial, a link to the tutorial here, and this link takes you to my Gemini API
03:06key
03:06tutorial.
03:08I'm not going to get into that.
03:09It's pretty straightforward.
03:14It's a pretty straightforward process that helps us to generate the key.
03:19Once you generate the key, you paste it into this box here, and it's saved in your browser
03:26safely and securely, and no one else can see it.
03:30So I already programmed it.
03:32So we're just going to go ahead and save that here.
03:35So my API key is active.
03:40So the AI analyst here, I can select different assets to analyze here, Great British Crown,
03:49US dollar, and the TradingView platform has been integrated.
03:57I've integrated the charts, the TradingView charts.
04:00I've integrated them into the EA here.
04:04So what we're going to do here is we're going to run an analysis.
04:07Let's see.
04:08Today is Tuesday.
04:09It's approximately 10.20 a.m.
04:12Eastern Standard Time.
04:14Silver bullet window, like I mentioned.
04:16I also have the engine sync to the price data feed, the derivative web socket layer.
04:23So the engine is synced to the data, the price data, so it can analyze the numbers and the
04:34time frames and so forth.
04:37So what you do here is basically, okay, select the Euro, US dollar.
04:44I've been getting some great Euro, US dollar trades.
04:47So we're going to start with that.
04:48You make sure the price is synced to the AI analyst here.
04:54It's currently 11.501.
04:56You just kind of check here.
05:00It's, yeah, approximately there, right?
05:06Make sure the price data is synced to the software here.
05:10And let's go ahead and run an analysis and see if the AI analyst recommends a trade for
05:19us here.
05:26Okay.
05:26So the AI analyst just ran the Euro, US dollar asset here.
05:36And so what it does is it develops an institutional narrative.
05:41It says here, okay, today's October 27th at approximately 10.25 Eastern Standard Time.
05:49Like I mentioned, silver bullet window.
05:52It's currently exhibiting a clear bearish distribution phase for our structure.
05:56It's consistently printed lower highs in the recent price action has breached this support
06:03level, confirming a shift in institutional order flow.
06:09It sits well above the point of control here and so forth.
06:15The unbalanced value remains neutral, reflecting a lack of conviction in a reversal, which supports
06:23the continuation of the bearish trend here, right?
06:27Okay.
06:28So the higher timeframe bias check is bearish.
06:31The Jewish swing has been completed, followed by a failure return, a failure to reclaim the
06:391,600 level here.
06:42All right.
06:42So the pre-trade checklist here tells us, okay, the higher timeframe alignment is bearish.
06:49Liquidity sweep.
06:50Yes, at this level here, 11,521 level, volume on balance, volume confirmation is bearish bias.
07:03Displacement break of structure.
07:05Yes, fair value gap pending retest.
07:08Okay.
07:09So this is the nuts and bolts here.
07:12It gives us a trade execution here.
07:15It tells us this is our entry limit, our sell limit order.
07:18We need to put stop loss here at this level, take profit level here, 111.30.
07:25Risk to reward ratio is one to approximately 1.95, giving us a high risk assessment of 7.5 out
07:36of 10.
07:37And generally anything 7.5 or better is considered a high probability setup here.
07:44So I'm going to go ahead and go into my Wanda trading account and we're going to set up a
07:51sell limit order here.
07:52So I'm already set up here.
07:54Okay.
07:55So we have the Euro USD here.
07:57It's telling us to put in a sell limit order, right?
08:03So let's go ahead and take a sell trade here.
08:11Let's do about, I've been working on eight lots.
08:17So let's do another eight lots here, which is 800,000 units.
08:22So I'm on the Wanda trading platform.
08:25And so our take profit target, the EA tells us to put our take profit target at 111.30 here.
08:37So let's go ahead and plug in number 111.30 here, right?
08:55And our stop loss target at 11.810, right?
09:06Stop loss 11.810, 11.810 here.
09:18Okay.
09:19So these are our take profit and stop loss targets that the EA recommended.
09:25And like I mentioned, I'm trading eight lots based on my balance, my trading balance on
09:31the Wanda platform here.
09:33So let's go ahead and execute this trade, right?
09:39This bearish trade here, this sell limit order.
09:43And so let's go ahead and check our position here.
09:49So our position is currently running at a slight negative balance.
09:55And that's due to the spread.
09:57Any broker, when you take a trade, they charge a spread anywhere from anywhere from home.
10:03It's probably around two pips.
10:06I'm not worried about this spread here.
10:10This EA has been doing an amazing job.
10:14I have, if you want to learn more about my EA in actions, go to forexcapitalpartners.com.
10:21That's one word, forexcapitalpartners.com.
10:25And if you go to the website and click on the EA in action button, it'll show you all these
10:32different trades that I've taken over the past several months.
10:35It's been generating me winner after winner after winner.
10:43So this EA, like I mentioned, trades with the big banks and the institutions, utilizing smart
10:52money concepts, volume profile, on balance, volume logic.
10:58So you want to trade with the banks.
11:03This EA is designed to trade with the market movers, the big banks and the hedge funds.
11:09They're the ones that actually move the forex markets.
11:12And they use retail traders as the exit liquidity.
11:18They line you up using the Judas swing and get traders to take a position.
11:24And then they come in and sweep retail traders' liquidity, resulting in retail trader losses.
11:33But this EA, I specifically programmed the core logic to trade with the institutions.
11:40So we're trading with them, not against them, right?
11:44So this EA, let's go ahead.
11:49And so what I'm going to do is, usually what I'll do is this EA is also designed to day
11:58trade.
11:58It doesn't necessarily analyze and look for scalp trades, although I've had instances where
12:06I've been able to hit my take profit targets within the hour or less.
12:12Generally, the EA, I've designed it to trade, you know, anywhere from one hour to the end of the day.
12:21I want to get in and out of my trades at the end of the day.
12:24I don't want to hold on to trades.
12:26I don't want to swing trade where I hold on to my trades for hours or days or even some
12:32traders
12:33even hold on to their trade for weeks.
12:35This EA is not designed that way.
12:38I've designed it to get in, lock in our profits and get out.
12:42I may hit the take profit target.
12:44I may close my trade early if I'm satisfied with the take profit level that I've, if I
12:51haven't hit the take profit level, I'll close the trade early and lock in my profits.
12:57If the trade is going against us, obviously I'm going to be monitoring this trade throughout
13:02the next few hours.
13:05And if it's really going not in our direction, not in my direction, I'll close out the trade
13:11at whatever loss and just keep it, keep it pushing.
13:15But I'm extremely confident in this EA.
13:19It identified a bearish signal here on the, on the Euro-US dollar asset here.
13:29And, uh, like I said, this is an institutional narrative.
13:32It gives us a narrative, uh, the AI analysts, uh, gives us a pretty detailed, uh, narrative
13:41of what it anticipates is going to happen to this Euro-US dollar pair here.
13:48And like I said, I've analyzed it during the live silver bullet window.
13:54Uh, so, this, this EA is an amazing EA.
14:00And what I'm going to do is, in the interest of time, I'm going to pause this video, let
14:05the trade play out, and then we're going to see, I'll come back probably the next one
14:10or two hours and see what's happening with the trade and come back and explain what I
14:16decided, if I'm going to continue to let the EA run and so forth.
14:20So, we'll see you in the next, uh, trade, uh, window.
14:28I also wanted to mention that I developed this EA, uh, because I wanted to automate the
14:35whole Forex trading process.
14:38So, if you're a beginner or an experienced trader, if you don't have much time to analyze
14:46charts, set up your support resistance levels or your lines, uh, this EA does all the heavy
14:55lifting for you and analyze the trade.
14:58So, you can come in, uh, and, and use the AI analyst in the EA and it'll recommend high
15:08probability trades for you.
15:09No more need to spend hours and hours looking at the charts, right?
15:14Uh, so this works for beginners, or even if you're an experienced trader, uh, you can use
15:20it as your, uh, uh, an assistant, a trading assistant, uh, to help you analyze potential
15:26trades.
15:34Okay, so I'm back on the Euro US dollar short.
15:37So, I'm going to go ahead and, uh, lock in, uh, profit for the day.
15:43Um, so I just closed this trade, this Euro US dollar, uh, short trade that the, uh, Nexus
15:51EA recommended here, I took this trade at approximately 1030 or so here, the EA recommended.
16:03So, the price is not actually running, uh, in the direction that I, uh, run, uh, it's
16:12not, the price action has been kind of choppy, but the EA did, uh, predict a short.
16:21Uh, trade at, at the level here that I took it at.
16:25And so, if we look, uh, at our activity here quickly, um, this trade resulted in a $368 gain
16:36for the day.
16:37The reason why I closed the trade is the market, you know, initially, uh, the short did occur,
16:44but then the market started becoming a little bit more choppy.
16:48There wasn't really, uh, good bearish price action.
16:52So, uh, I decided to close the trade and lock in my trade before, uh, you know, waiting for
16:59either the trade to reverse, um, in the, in the, in the other direction, in a bullish direction.
17:08Uh, so, uh, that's it, you know, basically the, the, uh, EA, uh, did predict a, a short.
17:18So, I basically did a scalp trade, uh, this trade, uh, let's see here.
17:24I took the trade at, uh, okay, it's 1204.
17:28I closed the trade at about 1204 Eastern Standard Time.
17:31So, the trade, let's see here.
17:51Okay, so I took the trade here.
17:54It says, uh, this sell market order here at approximately 1032 AM.
18:01And like I said, I, I went ahead and I closed the trade at 1208 PM Eastern Standard Time
18:09for a small gain here.
18:13So, uh, not a great day, but I'll still take the win, you know?
18:21All right, so that's basically it, uh, if you want to learn more, like I said, about the
18:26EA that I've built and developed, uh, that talks, you know, I talk about more of the core
18:32logic that went into the EA, visit ForexCapitalPartners.com.
18:38Uh, you'll have all the information there if you're interested in buying the EA.
18:42It's a great EA.
18:43I mean, it didn't generate a loss.
18:47It didn't generate a small profit.
18:49There have been days where I've generated, uh, you know, $1,000 gains in a short period
18:54of time.
18:55So, the EA is designed to protect your capital and only find the high probability trades.
19:03Okay, so thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next, uh, trading video.
19:09Gus Schmidt, uh, Nexus Institutional Expert Advisor, and I'll see you in the next video.
