0:00So, in this video, I'm going to show you
0:01two continuation entries that I actually
0:03trade, straight from my playbook. But,
0:05before I show you either one, I'll be
0:07honest with you. The entry model is the
0:09least important part of the trade. And
0:12if that sounds backwards, just stay with
0:14me and I'll come back to it at the end
0:15of the video. Now, a lot of guys ask me
0:17for the same thing, more chart examples.
0:19And I get it, a lot of my videos are
0:21kind of like this lecture-style
0:24presentation, and there's not a lot of
0:26practical examples on the chart. So,
0:28today, that's exactly what we're going
0:29to do. I do live stream every single
0:31day, and I show the entries, I show what
0:34I'm looking at, but I get it. Not
0:35everyone can join in the morning at the
0:38open. So, here's the video for it. So,
0:40two continuation entry models. One is
0:43built off of stacked imbalances, the
0:45other one is built from big trades. I'm
0:47going to talk about what each one is,
0:48the logic behind it, and then I'm going
0:51to show you what it looks like, and then
0:52we're going to go over a live chart
0:54example. So, both models come down to
0:57one word, acceptance. A footprint
0:59aggression shows up, a stacked
1:01imbalance, a big trade, but that alone
1:04is not the trade. What matters is
1:06whether price comes back into that area
1:09and accepts it instead of just rejecting
1:11it. So, these are usually two-candle
1:13entries. The first candle confirms the
1:15aggression, and the second candle is my
1:17execution. That's where I'm looking to
1:19get in on the pullback. The print itself
1:22is not the signal, the reaction to it
1:24is. All right, so now let's talk about a
1:27continuation entry. So, this will be our
1:29big trade playbook for the day,
1:30acceptance. Now, all this means is that
1:33we are printing a big trade, and we're
1:35actually pushing through, we're getting
1:37the price progression, and we're looking
1:38for us to pull back, we're looking for
1:40this level to hold, and for the candle
1:42to then flip back bullish, and that's
1:44where we enter long. Stop would then go
1:46right below where the big trade is. Now,
1:49typically this is done in higher
1:51momentum environments where we're really
1:54getting a stronger push. [music] And
1:55location actually matters a lot if
1:58you're taking a continuation entry like
1:59this. And sometimes it doesn't come on
2:01the next candle. Sometimes we may not
2:04have a wick going all the way down here.
2:07We may have another candle that pushes
2:08up, and we may wait for us to pull back
2:12into this area where we are watching,
2:14we're looking for the positioning to be
2:16defended to then continue the move
2:18higher. We are looking for
2:20follow-through after the big trade
2:21prints. The key, again, is not in the
2:24individual big trade itself. It's
2:26whether when price is coming back to
2:29revisit this area if we are going to
2:32defend this positioning. [music] So, the
2:33execution logic is pretty simple for
2:36this type of entry. After the big trade
2:38prints and we do see follow-through and
2:40this is in direction of whatever we
2:43believe the price is going to go, then
2:45we are having this candle open up and it
2:47needs to, again, immediately pull back
2:50into this area. We're looking for, in
2:52this case, sellers to stall, stall,
2:54stall. We're looking for absorption of
2:57sellers or a failure of sellers to
2:58actually push price lower. And then we
3:01are looking for that pressure or that
3:02re-engagement of initiative buying
3:05pressure to step back in, and the moment
3:07that we start flipping back bullish,
3:09well, I am going long. Stop is being
3:11placed right below the candle that has
3:14the big trade in it or right below the
3:16big trade itself. You should give it a
3:18little bit of room so you don't get
3:20wicked out if it comes back [music] to
3:21revisit it later. The entry is taken on
3:23the actual retest. We are waiting for
3:26the intent to be shown to have that
3:28follow-through for [music] the
3:29counterparty, or this case sellers, to
3:32step in, to fail, and for the
3:35re-engagement or for buyers to step back
3:38in and continue the move. The same would
3:40go for if we were using this for shorts.
3:43But again, with this type of entry,
3:45location is incredibly important.
3:47Understanding where you are in terms of
3:49the auction is incredibly important if
3:51you're going to be using an entry model
3:52like this. So, what exactly are we
3:54betting on in this case? The big trade
3:57represents real interest and we're
4:00looking for the market to agree and be
4:02willing to actually continue in the
4:04direction. Now, what we want to see is
4:06just because a big trade prints, okay,
4:09this is a common mistake for this. Just
4:11because a big trade prints, we are not
4:13necessarily just copy trading it going
4:16long, okay? And that's really important.
4:18We are looking for sellers to try and
4:20get back below this area and fail. And
4:24once that buying pressure steps back in,
4:27that is our confirmation to enter the
4:29trade for the continuation. It's also
4:31important to note when you're using this
4:33entry model, there's a difference
4:35between using a very large buy order and
4:38using like some tiny, let's say you have
4:40like some tiny filter on your big trade
4:43where, let's say you trade MNQ and
4:45you're looking for big trades with a
4:47minimum value of 100. Well, then that's
4:49potentially just noise. Don't use that.
4:51Just so you guys know, I'm typically
4:53looking for big trades on MN, if I'm
4:55using MNQ, I'm looking for big trades
4:57with a minimum value of at least
5:00300. At least. But again, size doesn't
5:03matter though if you're not actually
5:05getting that follow through or that
5:06acceptance after the big trade actually
5:08prints and we close above it. And a
5:10nuance to this or something to note
5:13[music]
5:13is I don't really want to see the big
5:16trade printing right at the top of the
5:18candle. And then I'm not looking for us
5:20to just do this tiny little retest and
5:22then go up. I want it to be deeper into
5:24the body of the candle because what it's
5:26representing to me at that point is that
5:28we actually had some decent follow
5:30through following the big trade. So, now
5:32that I've kind of explained this, if you
5:34guys watch me on stream, you probably
5:36see me take these types of continuation
5:38entries all the time. So, let's go take
5:40a look at an example. Now, let's take a
5:42quick break to talk about the sponsor of
5:44this video, Prop Firm Match. If you
5:46trade prop firms, you already know how
5:48confusing it can get. There's different
5:50prop firms, there's different
5:51challenges, there's different rules, and
5:53a lot of conflicting information.
5:55Propfirmmatch simplifies all that by
5:58putting everything in one platform. They
6:00have comparison tools so you can compare
6:02prop firms side-by-side or even
6:04challenges side-by-side where it even
6:06lays out all the rules for you to see,
6:08so you know exactly what you're going to
6:09be spending your money on or what you
6:11should be buying before committing any
6:12of your money to anything. You can
6:14review the rules side-by-side and see
6:16which prop firms are actually popular by
6:18reading some of the reviews from other
6:20traders just like yourself, so you don't
6:22have to go and spend any time digging
6:24through all these different websites.
6:26So, instead of guessing or hoping that
6:27you pick the right prop firm or the
6:29right challenge, you can make a decision
6:31with everything laid out in one place.
6:33If you want to use Propfirmmatch,
6:34there's a link in the description and in
6:36the pinned comment, and make sure to
6:38check out their exclusive offers so you
6:40get the best deal on any of these prop
6:42firms by using code match. Now, let's
6:44get back into the video. So, here we are
6:46on a 5-minute MNQ chart, and I'm going
6:50to show you a trade that I actually took
6:52today. This is actually a pretty good
6:54example. Um, I took a big trade
6:56continuation
6:58entry model while I was on stream today,
7:00and I'm going to go over how I read this
7:04situation and how I actually use this
7:06entry model. Now, something that we may
7:09note is that yes, we do see big trades
7:12sitting here. Okay, there's a big trade
7:14here. You could say, "Thrax, well, why
7:16didn't you, you know, take this
7:17continuation?" Or, "Why didn't you take
7:19this continuation?" It is important,
7:22like I mentioned earlier, where I do
7:23want to see the big trade actually
7:25having follow-through after it prints.
7:27So, what I'm trying to see is I'm trying
7:29to see follow-through following the big
7:31trade. I want to see it inside of the
7:33body of the candle. I need to see a
7:35strong close, and then when we actually
7:38come up to retest it, well, then I need
7:39to see it fail. So, this morning, we
7:42were actually chopping around a bit.
7:44Now, something to note about about chop
7:48is [music] you all often times see
7:50aggression or potentially big trades
7:54sitting at both ends. That doesn't mean
7:56that you should necessarily react to it
7:58because again, we got to use context. We
8:01got to use bias. We got to use location.
8:03I do I did want to see us go lower this
8:06day, but I'm waiting. We're currently
8:07chopping. I'm watching aggression push
8:09lower. It's failing. I'm watching
8:11aggression push higher. It's failing.
8:13I'm watching aggression push lower. It's
8:15failing. And now here we are again. So,
8:18I need to see true confirmation
8:20and I'm sitting here and I'm waiting. I
8:23want to see us go lower. If we do begin
8:25to break lower, then I'm looking for a
8:26continuation for us to potentially
8:28[music]
8:28follow that pressure or that momentum to
8:31the downside if that's what I was
8:32looking for for the day. Now, I'm going
8:33to speed this up a little bit and then
8:35I'm going to pause it.
8:36So, here we are. We're seeing our big
8:38trades. Now, what I'm looking for
8:41because this is still at the bottom of
8:42this range is I'm looking to see if
8:45we're actually going to get continuation
8:47and follow through or if this is going
8:49[music] to just be another failed
8:51attempt lower and if the chop is just
8:54going to continue at this point. So,
8:56just because these trades print doesn't
8:58mean you just automatically follow them.
9:00I want to see what's happening after the
9:02trades actually print. So, I'm going to
9:04sit here and I'm going to watch for this
9:07candle to actually close. I need this
9:09candle to close because I need to see
9:10where we're going to be in relation to
9:12where this positioning is.
9:14>> [music]
9:14>> Now, what I'll do is I'm going to wait.
9:17We're going to see how this candle
9:18closes and if it closes and it's a very
9:21strong close and it looks like we're
9:23actually breaking out to the downside,
9:25[music]
9:25then I'm going to mark this area out.
9:27So, I'm going to speed it up and we're
9:28going to stop it once the candle
9:30actually closes. And this is a 5-minute
9:32candle by the way. Okay.
9:34So, here we go. We are seeing selling
9:37pressure breaking down. The candle is
9:39closing in 5 seconds. 3 seconds, 2
9:41seconds, 1 second, candle closure. What
9:44is the difference here between this
9:49and these?
9:51Well, when this one printed, we actually
9:53had follow through and we are now
9:55breaking to the downside. Now, yes, we
9:57do see this 2,000
10:00micros that were executed at the bid at
10:05the bottom of this. But, like I said
10:06earlier, I'm more interested in the big
10:09trades that are actually sitting within
10:11the middle of the candle or that
10:13actually had follow through following
10:15it. So, at this point, what I want to
10:18see is I would like to see this candle
10:20immediately pull back towards the big
10:22trades. In the event that I see this
10:24candle pull back to where this
10:26initiative selling pressure stepped in
10:28and this aggressive pressure from the
10:30seller started to step in and actually
10:32break us out of this chop. Once I start
10:34to see sellers stepping back in, then
10:37I'm going to go short and I'm going to
10:40go for the continuation.
10:41>> [music]
10:42>> Now, at this point, this is the
10:43confirmation candle. This candle got us
10:4675% of the way there and what I'm
10:49thinking now is in terms of if this then
10:51that. And so, what is that in this
10:53scenario?
10:53>> [music]
10:53>> If we come up and we don't go all the
10:56way back up into the range and we come
10:58back into this area where there are
10:59large sellers positioned here and we
11:02actually respect that and we start to
11:04accept lower prices, [music] meaning
11:06that we watch buyers fail, selling
11:07pressure re-engages and we begin to drop
11:10lower, well, that is my entry model and
11:12I'm going to take a short. So, we're
11:14going to watch it in 1X speed and we're
11:16going to we're going to see how it
11:18actually plays out. So, so far, so good.
11:21We open up and we immediately begin to
11:23push back. Now, some people may try and
11:26enter on this one. We're stalling, we're
11:28stalling. If we start to flip bearish,
11:30maybe they'll enter. I'm more so
11:32interested [music] in these because this
11:35is the pressure that actually cause us
11:37to begin to break out. Now, if this just
11:39goes, okay, and I want to see us go
11:42lower. If this just starts to drop, I do
11:45not care. Okay?
11:47I'll just let it go. It's not It's not
11:49the entry model that I'm necessarily
11:51looking for. I'm looking for the
11:52retracement back into this area. [music]
11:56So, we we're going to wait. We're
11:58starting to see buyers lifting the
12:00offer. We're seeing imbalances pop up.
12:03They're pushing it back up. At this
12:05point, as we are approaching the big
12:07trades right there, I'm looking to see
12:10if there's going to be continuation. Are
12:12we actually going to be able to push
12:13back through this area? In [music] the
12:15event that we see sellers start stepping
12:17back in and we start flipping bearish,
12:20then that is my indication to go short.
12:23So, I'm watching. We're failing to go
12:25higher.
12:26At this point, I'm going short. Now,
12:28where am I going to put my stop loss?
12:30I'm putting my stop loss
12:33above the big trades, okay?
12:36And I'm targeting whatever I'm
12:37targeting. Let's just say for this
12:39example, I'm targeting uh
12:412R, okay? So, let's just go down here
12:44and let's just target our 2R. Now,
12:46obviously, I know what happens today
12:48because I actually took this trade,
12:51but the idea remains the same. So, entry
12:54here,
12:56stop up here,
12:58and we'll target a 2R down here. Okay?
13:02At this point, I'm looking for us to
13:04continue down lower. I'm just going to
13:06speed it up. So, here we go. We're
13:07pushing. I want to see the continuation
13:09lower. If we start really pushing back
13:12up, then I don't want to be in this
13:14trade anymore. The moment this candle
13:15starts to flip and take these lows, I'm
13:17trailing my stop to break even, but I'm
13:20going to wait until we actually take the
13:21lows of the previous 5-minute candle cuz
13:24it's how I typically manage my trade.
13:26So, now I drop stop here and I'm letting
13:28it run to full TP. In the event we start
13:31getting closer to full TP, I maybe might
13:33trail [music] it. And we go and hit full
13:35TP, okay? This is an example and this is
13:38an example of a trade I took today
13:39[music]
13:40and the idea remains the same. I'm
13:41looking for us to break down lower, but
13:43I'm waiting for confirmation first.
13:46We're currently moving back and forth in
13:47the range. Now, we began to see that
13:50aggressive selling pressure step
13:51through. We have large trades or big
13:54trades sitting here. We actually get the
13:55fall through and we get the close.
13:57That is our confirmation that we are
14:00more than likely going to go lower 75%
14:03of the way there. We need the entry
14:06candle or the execution candle, which is
14:08this candle, to push back up
14:11towards the big trades for buyers to not
14:14get that fall through and for sellers to
14:17re-engage and for us to actually begin
14:18to drop lower. The moment that we see
14:21that, we see that push up, we see that
14:23failure, we start pushing back down and
14:26we start flipping bearish,
14:28okay? Then at that point, the last 25%
14:32of my entry model has now just finished.
14:34That is my confirmation to take the
14:36continuation lower. And I take this
14:39style of continuation using big trades
14:42all the time. Now, of course, there are
14:45times it doesn't work out. You know, I'm
14:47not going to sit here and say every time
14:48you see see this it's going to work out,
14:51but it's one of the entry models that I
14:54take in my playbook. But, of course,
14:56this is one variation of it and it does
14:59require the rest of the framework. It
15:01requires context, it requires bias, and
15:03it requires location. We're not going to
15:05go into that right now. We're just going
15:07to be talking strictly on the actual
15:09entry models that I use. But, this is a
15:11perfect example and a real example of
15:15what I took today on stream and what
15:17helped me actually pass all my Apex
15:18accounts today. Before anything else, a
15:21disclaimer and it's a non-negotiable.
15:23Stacked imbalances are incredibly
15:26common, and that alone makes them
15:29dangerous. This model only applies when
15:32the imbalance is extreme, and it aligns
15:35with the rest of the context, the rest
15:37of the bias, and just the framework in
15:40general. If you're just going to look
15:42for every little stacked imbalance that
15:44pops up on the chart, and you're going
15:46to be entering based off of it, then
15:48you're just trading noise. So, if we're
15:49looking at a stacked imbalance on a
15:51bullish scenario, you're going to see on
15:53my charts bold numbers that light up
15:56when they hit the ask. And when those
15:57numbers light up and they stay there and
15:59the candle closes and they're stacked on
16:01top of each other, then it's going to
16:03print the indicator from ATAS or a TOS
16:07that shows stacked imbalances. And on my
16:09screen, it's going to show up as these
16:10bluish lines, okay? These blue lines.
16:12[music]
16:13So, what that is representing is it's
16:16showing sustained one-sided aggression
16:18across multiple price levels. So, the
16:21imbalance itself is not the trade, the
16:23reaction to it is. Here's the logic.
16:26After a strong stack forms, price
16:29[music] pulls back into where the
16:30stacked imbalances are, and that
16:32pullback, or the reaction coming out of
16:34that pullback, is my execution. I'm
16:37entering on the retest. I'm watching for
16:38sellers in this case, in a bullish
16:40scenario, to push down, fail to get
16:43lower, and for buyers to re-engage to
16:45flip it back to the upside, typically
16:47within a single 5-minute candle or
16:4915-minute candle, whatever I'm using for
16:51my entry. And [music] I'm expecting this
16:53aggression to resume or continue. In a
16:56strong continuation environment, price
16:59typically will not trade cleanly back
17:01through the imbalance and hold there. If
17:04you're looking at my candles on my
17:05chart, I'll typically have a volume
17:07profile for every individual candle, and
17:10these often sit inside thin or
17:13low-volume pockets within that candle's
17:15volume profile. So, the entry is the
17:17retest of the stacked imbalance area.
17:19The stop goes on the other side of the
17:21candle that created that stacked
17:22imbalance. And if the aggression is real
17:25and the environment hasn't changed, then
17:28the idea is that price should not accept
17:30back through this area for this specific
17:33trade idea. If it does and we push back
17:36through it, then I'm wrong and then I'm
17:38out. What I'm betting on is simple,
17:40sustained aggressive participation,
17:42acceptance of that imbalance, and
17:44continuation in the direction of the
17:46higher time frame [music] bias. The
17:48common mistakes here, because there's a
17:49ton of them if you're going to use this,
17:51is trading weak or partial stacks or
17:54ignoring location and session context
17:58and entering before the imbalance has
18:00even finished forming because this
18:01imbalance, while this candle is still
18:03forming, can literally go away at any
18:06time. So, you have to wait for the
18:07candle to actually close. And one more
18:10thing when it comes to this type [music]
18:12of entry, sometimes this second candle
18:15never comes back to test it and price
18:17just runs. And if that happens, I just
18:20let it go. I don't chase it, but if it's
18:23a strong level with real momentum behind
18:26it and price pulls back into that area,
18:29let's say later on,
18:31and we come back into this area, I'll be
18:34watching to see if the buyers who showed
18:37up here step back into actually defend
18:38it and push it back up. Keep in mind,
18:40[music] of course, just because these
18:42show up on the chart, they actually show
18:44up pretty often, it doesn't mean that
18:45I'm just automatically going to get into
18:46a trade and that's not the purpose of
18:48this video. These entry models are the
18:50last thing that come [music] after the
18:52market is already confirming what I've
18:54been reading or what I've been
18:55anticipating or watching for. It's the
18:57confirmation of that idea. And these
18:59entry models are just a mechanical way
19:02for me to get into the trade, to know
19:05what to look for beforehand, and then to
19:07actually know where to place my stop
19:09loss. All All so let's take a look at an
19:11example here where we're looking for the
19:14continuation model or the entry model
19:17using stacked imbalances. So, let's
19:19speed up the chart a little bit. We're
19:20on a 5-minute time frame. We're
19:23currently watching price just sweep the
19:24lows and we're pushing back up. Now, of
19:26course, you do need context. You need
19:28the rest of everything else in order to
19:30actually get into a trade or use the
19:32entry model, but let's say we've just
19:34made our decision and we do want to go
19:36long and we're trying to look on where
19:38I'm going to get long.
19:39Now, what do we see happen right here?
19:42We are having large displacement from
19:44buyers. We're seeing stacked imbalances
19:46show up. Now, we want to wait for this
19:48candle to close. We need a strong
19:49closure. We're seeing a lot of
19:51aggressive participation from the
19:53buyers. And so, in the event that we
19:55have a strong closure up here, then what
19:57I want to see is I would like to see
19:59this candle close, the next candle open
20:02up and immediately pull back towards the
20:05stacked imbalances if they remain there
20:07by the time this candle actually closes.
20:10And the moment that we have buying
20:11pressure start stepping back in or the
20:13candle flips bullish to continue, I'm
20:16going to enter into a long position. So,
20:18let's speed it up until the next candle
20:20opens [music] up. We want to see how
20:21this candle closes.
20:23Because price can trade back through
20:25these stacked imbalances and they can
20:26[music] disappear. So, you have to wait
20:28for the candle to close. The candle
20:29closes, okay? Now, what I'm looking at
20:32is I would like to see this candle
20:34immediately pull back towards this area
20:36where the stacked imbalances are. So,
20:38between here and here.
20:41If this candle pulls back into this
20:43area, I don't want to see it get past
20:45this. And if we start flipping back
20:47bullish, then I'm going to enter long.
20:49So, let's speed it up a little bit and
20:51let's wait to see what it does. So, we
20:53see sellers hitting into the bid.
20:57We're reapproaching. Sellers hitting
20:58into the bid again. Are they going to be
21:00successful or are they going to fail and
21:03we're going to start flipping back to
21:04the upside? So, I'd be sitting here
21:06watching the sellers stall right now and
21:08I'm waiting to see, okay, we're coming
21:10back up. The moment that this candle
21:11begins to flip bullish, then at that
21:14point I'm going to go long and I'm going
21:16to place my stop right below the stacked
21:17imbalance. Something to note about this
21:19stacked imbalance is we have high volume
21:21note in this candle, low volume, and
21:23then a little bit of volume here. So,
21:25these stacked imbalances are sitting
21:27within [music] this low volume area of
21:29the 5-minute candle. Now, we want to see
21:31if we're going to accept higher and
21:32continue this aggression. We're seeing
21:34sellers kind of attempt to push lower at
21:36first, but they're not actually getting
21:38anywhere and I'm waiting to see that
21:40buying pressure start stepping back in.
21:42At that point, I'm going long right
21:44here. Stop is going right below
21:48the stacked imbalances and you can
21:50target whatever you're targeting.
21:52Let's just, for the sake of this video,
21:55let's just make it a 2R, okay?
21:59Now, we want to see this momentum
22:01continue. We're looking for a
22:03continuation.
22:04We want to see buying aggression
22:06continue to the upside. So, the in the
22:08event that we actually get back below
22:10this stacked imbalance or we start
22:12really pushing back through it, then at
22:14that point I no longer want to be in the
22:15trade. The point is to keep the
22:17stop-loss relatively tight [music] in a
22:19scenario where we're placing it behind
22:22aggression because we're looking for
22:23price to continue past that aggression
22:26and actually get that continuation in
22:27the direction that we're trying to take
22:29this trade. So, I'm just going to speed
22:30it up. The moment that we start to see
22:33strong aggression again, I'm going to
22:35move the stop to break even.
22:37Because
22:39at that point, right, it happened too
22:41quickly, but at the point where this
22:43candle pushes up like this, typically
22:46what I do in momentum-style trades, at
22:48least when it's based off of stacked
22:50imbalances, [music]
22:50depending on location, depending on how
22:52close we are to a potential,
22:54quote-unquote, danger zone or somewhere
22:56where this continuation might catch a
22:58little bit of friction, if we start
23:00pushing up aggressively again, then at
23:02that point, I'm going to be moving my
23:05stop loss to break even because if this
23:07whole trade is based off of the idea of
23:09momentum or that continuation, and we
23:12see aggression and that aggression
23:13actually begins to fail, then the entire
23:17reason for us to stay in this trade is
23:19now kind of dying out. Now again, this
23:21is just an entry model and a way that I
23:24actually get into these trades, but it's
23:26not the entire trade idea itself. And
23:29that's really important to note. Now,
23:31one thing that I want to mention and one
23:34thing that I think is really important
23:36when it comes to these continuation
23:37style entries. Let's say that we are
23:40watching bullish. Let's just say it's a
23:42big trade or a stacked imbalances or
23:45whatever. The entry model requires this
23:47candle to open, pull back, stall, stall,
23:50stall, pressure flips back to the
23:51upside, candle then prints this way, and
23:54then you're entering into a trade, stop
23:56loss below, TP up here. I mean, that's
23:59kind of a terrible drawing, but you get
24:00the idea. I just want to stress the fact
24:03that open, immediate pull back, failure
24:05to go lower, flip back to the upside,
24:08that is the entry signal for me to go
24:10long. The rest of the whole trade idea
24:12has to align. These are incredibly
24:13simple, okay? Like a 5-year-old or
24:16someone who is just learning how to
24:18trade can can trade these entry models.
24:21[music] It is not a standalone thing.
24:23They do not give you a trade in itself,
24:25and that's so important to note. But
24:27people always ask me like, "Thrax, what
24:29what's your entry model? Or why did you
24:30get in right there?" Well, I already
24:32knew what I wanted to do. I was just
24:34looking for a way to get into the trade
24:37and a and somewhere to place my stop
24:39loss. And that's just the purpose of
24:41these two models. You may be watching
24:43this. It's not some secret sauce. It's
24:45not some, you know, secret, "Oh, this
24:49one setup changed my life." No, it's
24:51not. It's just the final layer on a
24:53mechanical way for for to enter into a
24:55position and enter into a trade idea
24:59that was built for my framework and the
25:02last thing that comes is just the
25:03confirmation from watching this like
25:06micro structure in between two [music]
25:08candles so that I can actually get into
25:10the trade. So, let me close the loop
25:12that I opened at the start. I told you
25:14that the entry model is the least
25:15important part of the trade and here's
25:17what I meant by that. Everything I just
25:18showed you, the stacked imbalance, the
25:20big trade, the pullback, the entry, the
25:23stop, none of it has an edge on its own.
25:26It's really important to note, by
25:27themselves, those entry models before
25:30specifically for those continuation
25:32entry models that I showed you are
25:34useless on their own. And they only work
25:37inside the rest of the framework, with
25:39the rest of the way that you're building
25:41context around trades. You have to know
25:43location, you have to know the
25:45environment that you're in, you have to
25:47have a bias, and you have to understand
25:49the actual context around the move
25:51itself. Because without that, then
25:54you're just reacting to the candles in
25:56isolation and you're probably not going
25:59to see a lot of success doing that, to
26:01be completely honest with you. The entry
26:02models are not there to tell me what the
26:05market is going to do. It's there to
26:06just confirm what I was already reading
26:09and already looking for and [music] it's
26:11giving me a mechanical way to enter into
26:14a position and a place to put my stop
26:15loss. That's the job, nothing more. So,
26:19the order of operations matter. Context
26:22first, location, environment, bias, and
26:25then the entry model comes last. And the
26:27entry model comes only after everything
26:29else lines up. So, if you want to see
26:31how I actually build that context or how
26:33I map out my trades before I'm looking
26:35for that entry model or an entry
26:36confirmation for [music] me to actually
26:38get into the trade. Well, I live stream
