Etienne Crete - Desire To TRADE

Master the quad rotation if you want to stop forcing trades and start entering when momentum actually shifts.

I just posted a new interview with John Kurisko breaking down how he scalps using channels, quad rotations, and clean divergence timing. This is about structure, not speed.

The reason this works is simple.
You’re trading when the market lines up, not when you’re bored or chasing candles.

Etienne Crete - Desire To TRADE

Most traders think they have to pick one:

Option 1: Trade daily charts.

Fewer setups. Wait 3–4 days for trades to develop. But at least it’s hands-off.

Option 2: Trade intraday.

More opportunities. Faster moves. But you’re glued to your screen all day.

If you’ve got a full-time job or business?

Option 1 feels like the only choice.

So you sit there… watching a daily chart setup slowly develop over 4 days… while intraday moves are flying by.

And you can’t catch them because you’re at work.

It’s frustrating.

You’re either missing opportunities OR spending all day at the charts.

Here’s what you might not realize:

You don’t have to choose.

Our strategies work on both intraday AND daily charts.

Same set-and-forget approach.

Same rules.

Whether it’s a 2-hour move or a 2-day move, you’re doing the exact same thing:

Place the trade. Set your stops and targets. Walk away.

Some days you’ll catch an intraday setup that closes out in a few hours.

So you go to work and come back home to profits.

Other days you’ll catch a daily chart setup that runs for 5–6 days or more.

You’re not limited to one or the other.

But the key is keeping it set-and-forget… and screen time to 15–20 mins/day max.

Here's a short trade from the Ambush Zone strategy on ES (S&P 500 futures) on a 15-minute chart.

Look at the right side – that green box.

The take profit was hit in just under 3 hours.

This strategy focuses on catching small moves with high accuracy.

The colored boxes on the left are retracement levels the strategy uses to identify setups.

You can get about one setup a day on the 15-minute timeframe.

So you check the charts in the morning (or later if you prefer), place the trade if there is a setup.

Then walk away.

It closes out in a few hours without you watching it.

Both strategies in Set-And-Forget Trading adapt to what the market is giving you.

Fast intraday move? You catch it.

Slower daily chart trend? You catch that too.

You’re not sitting around waiting days for setups.

And you’re not missing intraday opportunities when you’re busy either.

Inside Set-And-Forget Trading, you learn both strategies step-by-step.

The same ones Michael uses to manage his $10M+ fund.

Because this is our first launch… you can get in for just $397 (in the future it will cost you $997).

Enrollment closes December 21st at 11:59pm ET.

If you want to learn proven strategies that can combine both long-term and short-term trades?

Etienne Crete - Desire To TRADE

I’ll never forget the day my boss walked by my desk and saw TradingView open on my screen.

It was one of those highly volatile market days.

I was trying to take a few quick trades before my 11am meeting.

My old desk where I tried (and failed) to sneak trades at work

My boss didn’t say anything. Just gave me that look.

You know the one.

The “you’re not doing what I’m paying you to do” look.

To be fair, that job was boring… and I didn't have much to do.

But that was the moment I realized something had to change.

I still wasn’t profitable but…

I couldn’t keep trying to trade during the day while working a full-time job.

It wasn’t working. My boss was onto me. My trades were suffering.

And honestly? I wasn’t present at either thing.

So I made a decision.

I’d only check charts once – after work.

I switched to trading daily charts only. Set-and-forget style.

Every day I would come back home from work… place a few trades. Set my stops and targets. Walk away.

I barely managed my trades, if at all.

And you know what?

That’s when I finally became profitable.

Turns out, having a job didn’t hold me back from trading.

It forced me to find a better way.

But to be clear… it wasn’t that easy and I had to figure it out the hard way.

If I had access to proven entry and exit rules back then?

I would’ve become profitable way faster.

That’s why we decided to put together Set-And-Forget Trading.

Michael’s been perfecting set-and-forget strategies for over 20 years.

He doesn’t work a 9-5. He’s a full-time trader managing a $10M+ fund.

And he does it trading intraday set-and-forget strategies that catch moves lasting from a few hours to a few days.

He goes on luxury cruises multiple times a year - paid for entirely by his trading.

This is what he does. Every single day.

Place trades in the morning. Let them run. Check results later.

The strategies he’s teaching inside Set-And-Forget Trading are the exact ones he uses to manage that fund.

The Heiken-Ashi Trend Strategy and the Ambush Zone Reversion Strategy.

Both designed to work whether you have 15 minutes in the morning or 15 minutes after work.

Both built to catch moves without needing to watch your trades.

I spent years figuring out how to trade with a full-time job.

Michael spent 20 years mastering it.

You don’t have to do what I did (i.e. struggle through years of trial and error).

Instead you can learn from someone who’s already made it.

And because this is the very first time we’re launching Set-And-Forget Trading, you can get in for 60% off.

But only before December 21st at 11:59pm ET.

Then we’ll work closely with that first group until they get results.

So if you want to become profitable trading less than 15 mins a day with proven strategies…

Without spending years figuring it out on your own…

Most traders get destroyed because of how they manage their trades…

You know that feeling, right?

Getting tempted to close a trade early “just to lock in profit”.

I used to do this all the time.

I’d think “better to take the profit now before it drops.”

So I’d close the trade.

Then I’d check again at the end of the week and see the trade would’ve hit my original target or even more

Some days I’d cost myself $500 just by “managing” my trade.

Don’t get me wrong…

It’s fine to manage your trades… but you gotta do it right.

Let me show you what I mean…

This is a short trade on USD/JPY from July 2024 using the Heiken-Ashi Trend Strategy.

We teach this stuff in Set-And-Forget Trading.

Watch what happens… (Image)

Immediately after entering, the market drops hard for a few days.

Then it pauses. A little pullback. Those green candles start showing up.

Now here’s what might be going through your head:

“The market already moved 500 pips in a few days. That’s huge.”

“What if this reverses and I give it all back?”

“I should lock in this profit while I’m ahead.”

So you could close the trade and walk away with 500 pips… and you’d feel smart.

But that strategy’s got clear rules to avoid early exits.

We're using dots on the charts (which you’ll get access to in Set-And-Forget Trading) to capture the move until it’s exhausted.

If the price reverses, the rules of the strategy will get you out immediately.

But when the market rallies, you’ll stay in the trade, increasing your P&L exponentially.

The blue & red dots tell you when to take partial profits.

Not having this is why so many traders think set-and-forget doesn’t work.

They either try it with the wrong strategies.

Or they use a good strategy but can’t help themselves from “managing” it… and ruin perfectly good trades.

Inside Set-And-Forget Trading, you learn strategies that are specifically designed to be left alone.

Place the trade. Walk away, and come back to check the result.

It works really well with a full-time job.

===

For this initial launch only…

You can get in for just $397 (regular investment is $997).

Enrollment closes December 21st at 11:59pm ET.

And we’re only taking 25 people so we can work closely with the first group.

If you want to know the #1 metric that tells you if a trade deserves your click…

I just posted a new video of Michael Toma breaking down how he separates the “looks good” setups from the ones actually worth taking.

No guessing. No overthinking. Just a clean way to know when your edge is really there.

This one will help you stop obsessing over timing and win rate, and finally focus on the thing that actually drives consistent results.

What if you could place 2-3 trades in the morning…

Walk away for the entire day…

And come home to see your account up $400?

No babysitting trades. No rushing entries at lunch. No stress.

Just 15 minutes of work in the morning, then you’re done.

That’s what some pro traders have been doing for years…

And today, I’m opening up the doors to learn their exact system.

It’s called Set-And-Forget Trading.

Here’s the deal…

Most traders think “set-and-forget” means placing a trade, walking away, and hoping it works out.

Then they come home to three stopped-out positions and wonder why it didn’t work.

But here’s what they don’t understand:

There are strategies that actually work BETTER when you don’t manage them.

Not just “okay if you leave them alone.”

Actually BETTER.

Michael Toma’s been trading two of these strategies for years:

Heiken-Ashi Trend Strategy and the Ambush Zone Reversion Strategy

Both catch intraday moves without needing you to watch charts all day.

Both work in 15-20 minutes per day max.

And both are designed for people with 9-5 jobs who want to trade without losing their whole day.

Inside Set-And-Forget Trading, you get:

- The complete 6-module course teaching both strategies step-by-step.

- Slack community access where you can ask questions and get real-time feedback.

- Custom indicators ($497 value) that show you exactly where to enter and exit, custom coded w/ alerts for these strategies.

- $100K Trading Fund Accelerator course ($197 value) to help you get funded and scale beyond $100K in capital.

- Live onboarding call ($199 value) to get you set up right from day one and meet other students.

Enrollments end on December 21st at 11:59pm ET.

Here’s the early link if you wanna jump in now:

>>> app.desiretotrade.com/set-and-forget-trading-syste…

Now, we’ve capped it to 25 spots only…

Why?

This is a brand new program and we want to work closely with the first group.

We’ll be active in Slack answering questions, looking at your trades, and making sure you’re implementing these strategies correctly.

Once we hit 25, I’m closing enrollment so we can focus on getting this first group profitable.

If it doesn’t work for you, we have an action-based guarantee.

So if you want to learn proven set-and-forget strategies that work in under 30 days no matter how busy your schedule gets?

Grab your spot her before Dec. 21st

Yesterday I told you how I convinced one of the best traders I know to teach his set-and-forget strategies…

But there’s one thing I haven’t said.

Michael isn’t just some YouTube trader with a Telegram group...

Since I met him in 2017, he’s used his trading methods to build a fund worth over $10M.

But he didn't start like that…

He had to quit his job twice while trying to trade full-time.

The first time... he failed and had to get his job back.

Then he quit again years later... and made his trading work.

That was 20+ years ago.

Now he manages $10M+ using set-and-forget strategies.

I’m telling you this because when we launch Set-And-Forget Trading tomorrow…

You’re not learning from someone who got lucky or made money teaching instead of trading.

You’re learning the exact strategies Michael uses to manage his fund and pay for his lifestyle.

Each strategy takes about 10 mins a day.

So if you’re working full-time right now… this actually works perfectly.

Tomorrow I’m sending an early sign-up link to a small group before we open it up publicly.

👉 If you want in, watch out for my next post.

This is going to change how a lot of people trade in 2026.

If you’re trying to grow capital without dealing with challenges, strict drawdowns, or trading 10 hours a day...

I just posted a new video breaking down how I ended up with over $100K+ in allocations without even thinking about “getting funded.”

When you understand how these funding scores work, you can scale quietly in the background while focusing on your actual trading.

I’ve got a lot messages from people wanting to learn set-and-forget trading...

I tried replying to most... but I still have a long way to go.

So here's what's going to happen:

A few weeks back, I convinced one of the best set-and-forget traders I know (Michael Toma) to teach his strategies.

That man can literally go on a luxury cruise, take a few trades in the morning... and pay for the entire trip.

But for you right now...

This could be a way to build a side income on top of a 9-5 job.

You'd be able to become consistently profitable trading two simple strategies with a proven track record.

But there's something more important...

Michael has been trading for 20+ years.

He's been part of Desire To Trade since 2020.

But right now, he's on the edge of retirement...

He will never stop trading (his words), but he won't be teaching traders anymore.

So we put together this special program as one of the last few chances to learn his strategies.


It would also cover the mindset of set-and-forget trading as well as how to manage risk like a pro.

We need a few more days to put it all together... but I'll share all the details with you by the end of the week.

If you've got any questions, comment below!

I’ve been receiving a lot of good feedback on my previous posts.

Seems like a lot of folks want to trade set-and-forget in 2026.

So before the start of the new year…

I’m putting together a small group of serious traders who want to learn proven set-and-forget strategies that work with a full-time job.

You won’t spend more than 10 mins at the charts a day, use a ton of indicators, and you’ll be able to trade profitably no matter how busy your schedule gets.

We will only trade strategies used by real professional traders with a proven track record.

Obviously, you can use those strategies to trade profitably on your own capital, but they’d also work really well with prop firms.

This is a chance to speed up your growth in trading (even with very little time).

Eventually, you can build a $500k trading account, and have these set-and-forget strategies fund your lifestyle.

I know the holidays are coming up soon... but let's get this working now before 2026 starts.

Would you like to join us?

Keep crushing it 💪 📈
