Full transcript
- 0:04Hello everybody. Welcome to the anomaly
- 0:06course core constant lesson four. Here
- 0:09we're going to be covering if then
- 0:11statements using profiling. So,
- 0:15if Asia consolidates,
- 0:18what should we expect London to do?
- 0:19Reverse, right? Off of Asia's low. And
- 0:23if London reverses, then we should be
- 0:25expecting a New York continuation using
- 0:28key levels that London created after it
- 0:31expanded away. So, as you can see,
- 0:33London reverses, expands away.
- 0:36Here we have our gap.
- 0:38That is going to be our key level for
- 0:40New York to continue. As you can see, we
- 0:43have some order blocks for continuation
- 0:46as well. So, now,
- 0:47what happens if
- 0:49Asia nor London reverse?
- 0:52Well, it's pretty simple, right?
- 0:54We're going to reverse off of London's
- 0:56low. So, as you can see, London prints a
- 0:59low, which is the current low of day. If
- 1:01neither of the previous sessions
- 1:02reversed, then you have to create a
- 1:05reversal profile, right? So, it's pretty
- 1:07simple. Previous sessions didn't
- 1:09reverse,
- 1:10then we're expecting a
- 1:12reversal profile for the session that
- 1:14you're trading.
- 1:16If the previous sessions did reverse and
- 1:18hit a key level, then you're expecting a
- 1:21continuation profile for your session.
- 1:24Here we're going to be covering the if
- 1:25then statements for sessions with an
- 1:28example.
- 1:29Here we're going to be covering
- 1:30Asia/London
- 1:32session. So, if Asia consolidates and
- 1:35doesn't form an established low or high
- 1:37of the day, we're going to use the Asia
- 1:40session high to reverse off of, right?
- 1:43So, if we play price forward,
- 1:45as you can see, London forms an
- 1:47established high of day. It forms that
- 1:50V-shape signature and hourly change
- 1:52state of delivery.
- 1:55So, if London forms the high of the day,
- 1:58what can we expect New York to do if
- 2:00they're still in open draw?
- 2:01We would expect it to continue.
- 2:04And where should we expect it to
- 2:05continue from? It's from a key level
- 2:08that London actually created. So, if we
- 2:11just zoom in here
- 2:12back from the previous session's range
- 2:15here. Right now, it's 9:00.
- 2:17We can see that we have this gap here.
- 2:19And really, this is the only area to
- 2:20continue from if New York is going to
- 2:22continue. So, let's play price forward.
- 2:25And as you can see,
- 2:26we expand
- 2:28away from London's high and close near
- 2:31the lows, forming a reversal into
- 2:33expansion daily candle.
- 2:35So, now let's go ahead and go over an
- 2:37if-then statement where Asia and London
- 2:40do not reverse. So, if they do not
- 2:42reverse, then you have to expect a New
- 2:44York reversal. So, as you see, Asia does
- 2:46nothing. What does London do? London
- 2:49kind of just consolidates at this low,
- 2:52right? So, that's not really an
- 2:53established low of the day. So, ideally,
- 2:55we come back down here
- 2:57and manipulate this relevant low. As you
- 2:59can see, the space in this low
- 3:01and these lows down here make it
- 3:03relevant. We have failure swings
- 3:05on the opposing side over here that we
- 3:07can use for targets. So, let's see what
- 3:10price does.
- 3:12So, as you can see, price doesn't really
- 3:13trade into anything up here.
- 3:15We come back lower. We use Asia's low to
- 3:18reverse from. And there's actually an
- 3:21SMT divergence here as well with this
- 3:24overall low. And now, we can expect Asia
- 3:26to continue to our draw on liquidity.
- 3:29And as you can see,
- 3:30since the previous session didn't
- 3:31reverse, we're going to demand New York
- 3:33session to reverse off of those levels
- 3:36for our invalidation level. So, now
- 3:38let's go over an overview of the session
- 3:41kill zone times. So, for London session,
- 3:43you're going to be trading one 4-hour
- 3:45candle.
- 3:46Which candles are we mainly concerned
- 3:48with? That is the 2:00 a.m., the 3:00
- 3:50a.m., and the 4:00 a.m. candle. Not so
- 3:52much the candle that runs from 5:00 to
- 3:546:00 a.m. That's not really the most
- 3:55relevant time um in the day.
- 3:58So, here's the 30-minute as well. It's
- 4:00going to be those first six out of eight
- 4:03candles that make up a 4-hour candle.
- 4:06Now, let's go over the relevant timing
- 4:07within a 6:00 a.m. 4-hour candle. That
- 4:10is going to be 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
- 4:136:00 and 7:00 a.m. Again, no volatility,
- 4:17not relevant. Why is 8:00 a.m. to 9:00
- 4:19a.m. relevant? Because those are where
- 4:21the drivers exist, right? 8:30 red
- 4:24folder news, we have 9:30 equities open.
- 4:27You want to be positioning yourself in
- 4:29the market with high volatility.
- 4:31So, what is the relevant timing within a
- 4:3310:00 a.m. 4-hour candle?
- 4:35Ideally, that's going to be 10:00 a.m.
- 4:38to 11:00 a.m. especially when trading a
- 4:40reversal candle. Ideally, it's the early
- 4:43hours within that candle, right? So,
- 4:45here's the 30-minute candle. It's going
- 4:47to be about half of that time span. P.M.
- 4:49session really starts at 12:00 a.m. So,
- 4:52it's a totally different kill zone. If
- 4:54you're a New York A.M. trader, you
- 4:56really want to cut off your trading at
- 4:58about 12:00 o'clock.
- 5:00So, now we're going to view sessions
- 5:02through 4-hour candles. We're going to
- 5:03really simplify it. We're going to view
- 5:05a 4-hour candle as a session, right? So,
- 5:08there's 1 2 3 4 5 6 4-hour candles
- 5:12within a daily candle, and each candle
- 5:15will represent a specific session. So,
- 5:17the Asia session
- 5:19is going to be made up of two 4-hour
- 5:21candles.
- 5:22So, if you're looking to trade an
- 5:24expansion within your session, you're
- 5:26essentially looking to trade a 4-hour
- 5:29expansion candle, right? That represents
- 5:31the session that you want to trade. So,
- 5:33if you want to trade an Asia reversal /
- 5:36continuation,
- 5:38then you're looking to trade the 1800 /
- 5:402200 expansion candle. It's pretty much
- 5:42that simple, right? So, when can we
- 5:43expect an Asia
- 5:46continuation? That is either when
- 5:49late in the day the previous day 1400
- 5:52reverses and the day is opening up
- 5:55within a C3 on the 4-hour time frame.
- 5:58So, essentially PM session late in the
- 6:00day previous day reverses.
- 6:03So, you're going to expect an early day
- 6:04expansion, right?
- 6:06Late day reversal, early expansion
- 6:081800 expanding. If you get that nice
- 6:11closure, you're expecting 2200 to expand
- 6:13if there is a draw on liquidity open
- 6:16or if the first half of Asia session, so
- 6:19the first 4-hour candle within the day
- 6:23prints a C2 reversal hits a key level
- 6:26and all that good stuff
- 6:27then you can expect 2200 to expand and
- 6:30continue. So, now let's talk about Asia
- 6:32reversals. So, here would be on the left
- 6:34side would be some negative conditions.
- 6:36We wouldn't do not want to really
- 6:37participate in these Asia reversals
- 6:40especially within the first half, you
- 6:42know, if 1800 forms a low day but has a
- 6:45large wick you're not going to trade
- 6:46this this first half of Asia. You're
- 6:48going to trade that 2200 continuation.
- 6:52If 1800 doesn't form a low day but 2200
- 6:55does but has that large wick you're not
- 6:57going to trade a Asia reversal. You
- 6:59would trade a London continuation,
- 7:01right?
- 7:02This is the way you can trade in Asia
- 7:04reversal, right? If you hit a key level
- 7:06we have that small wick maybe 1800 hits
- 7:09the key level or it doesn't hit the key
- 7:10level but it simply doesn't reverse then
- 7:13you're going to want to reverse off of
- 7:141800 low, right? If it has that small
- 7:16wick either or then you're pretty much
- 7:18good to go.
- 7:20So, now let's go over how to trade the
- 7:21Asia session. So, firstly let's go over
- 7:24Asia continuation.
- 7:26So, this is either where 1400 reverses
- 7:29and 1800 continues or 1800 reverses and
- 7:322200 continues. Here we're talking about
- 7:35the 4-hour candles, right? So, as you
- 7:36can see here, we have this low put in
- 7:38the market. We have an SMT divergence.
- 7:41Now, when was the low of the day put in
- 7:43over here?
- 7:44Let's go to the 4.
- 7:45So, as you can see,
- 7:471400 prints AC2. So, 1400 prints AC2
- 7:51after hitting a relevant level, this is
- 7:53where we can expect 1800 to actually
- 7:55expand.
- 7:57And it doesn't really have to create
- 7:58some like crazy open low. All it has to
- 8:01do is respect the previous 4-hour
- 8:03candle. So, what we're going to do is
- 8:05look for a refined key level in the
- 8:07previous 4-hour candle range. So, let's
- 8:09drop down to the hourly time frame.
- 8:11So, here within that previous range, you
- 8:13can see that we have an hourly gap. And
- 8:15this is the only level to reverse from.
- 8:17This is the very rare case you're going
- 8:19to you can actually use an hourly gap as
- 8:22your refined key level. And that's when
- 8:25you make that reversal really late in
- 8:29the day. As you can see, the low of the
- 8:31day is 1400 here.
- 8:32Um and if we're not going to stick out
- 8:33that previous day's low,
- 8:35then we pretty much have to use this
- 8:37gap, right? So, we're going to expect
- 8:391800 to open low. So, here's the open
- 8:42right now. Let's mark that out.
- 8:45Here.
- 8:46So, it opens low first,
- 8:48prints that C2 candle.
- 8:50That C2 candle should form the low of
- 8:53the 4-hour candle um as GXT
- 8:57confirmation, right? But, it's also
- 8:59technically forming the low of the day
- 9:00as well, right? So, as you can see,
- 9:03that 4-hour candle
- 9:05expands 1800.
- 9:07Now, here's an example of a 1800
- 9:10reversal and 2200
- 9:13uh continuation. So, here on the daily
- 9:16chart, we have SMT with the previous
- 9:18day's high.
- 9:20You have a previous day's close as a C2.
- 9:23So, what are we going to do?
- 9:24Look within this wick for a refined key
- 9:27level. Let's first drop to the 4-hour
- 9:29time frame. So, here we are on the
- 9:304-hour time frame. And as you can see,
- 9:34we have a key level close to the daily
- 9:36open. This is going to be that daily
- 9:37open.
- 9:39And yes, we do.
- 9:41As you can see with that forward gap.
- 9:42So, that's going to be our refined key
- 9:44level. And this is when you can expect
- 9:46Asia reversals, guys. Is when the day
- 9:49the daily open is actually opening near
- 9:52the refined key level, right? Because if
- 9:53if it's opening near that refined key
- 9:55level,
- 9:56then of course Asia's going to hit it
- 9:58likely. So, Asia can actually reverse.
- 10:00It's pretty much as simple as that. So,
- 10:02you can see that this new 4-hour
- 10:04candle's opening near it. So, you can
- 10:05expect an Asia reversal. That's how you
- 10:08trade Asia reversal. As long as it has
- 10:10that small wick,
- 10:11you're pretty much good to trade that
- 10:124-hour candle, right?
- 10:14And as you can see, we have our candle
- 10:16closure at um 1800. So, as long as you
- 10:21have a drawing liquidity, you can trade
- 10:22continuation. It's as simple as that.
- 10:25So, we This is how you can expect a 2200
- 10:27candle
- 10:28to continue as an 1800 reverses. And as
- 10:31you can see,
- 10:32it's going to reach this target and even
- 10:34further. Now, let's talk about London
- 10:36session. We're going to be viewing
- 10:38London session in 1 4-hour candle, which
- 10:40ranges from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. So,
- 10:43what would that look like for a London
- 10:45continuation? That is either where Asia
- 10:47puts in the low of the day. That can
- 10:49happen two ways, whether 1800 puts the
- 10:52low of day in, then you have to have
- 10:542200 expand, or if 1800 doesn't put the
- 10:58low of day in, but 2200 does, then you
- 11:00can trade C3 continuation. Then you can
- 11:03trade C3 London continuation on the
- 11:064-hour. Now, let's get into some chart
- 11:08examples of covering the London session.
- 11:11Firstly, we're going to be covering the
- 11:12London continuation. Here's an example
- 11:15where 1800 is actually the high of the
- 11:18day.
- 11:18This is honestly the perfect example
- 11:20because 1800 expands very largely. So,
- 11:24when a session expands very large, you
- 11:27really don't want to trade continuation
- 11:30um for the next session. But, we can see
- 11:33the first half of Asia expands, the
- 11:35second half retraces.
- 11:38That creates a gap on the closure of the
- 11:402200 candle, which
- 11:43the London session is opening near,
- 11:44right? So, if it's opening near it, we
- 11:46can create that uh reversal to expansion
- 11:48candle. And this candle can actually
- 11:50expand,
- 11:51and this retracement,
- 11:53or the current low of day, is actually a
- 11:55draw on liquidity that we can use.
- 11:59So, here we have an example of London
- 12:00continuation where the low of the day is
- 12:04created at 2200. So, here is the daily
- 12:07open, right? Opens low first. That's
- 12:09what we want to see for a bullish
- 12:10reversal. We have this sweep of a low.
- 12:15It doesn't have to close a perfect um
- 12:18you know, C2 candle where we have to
- 12:20close back inside this candle. Has that
- 12:22large wick respecting it, right? As long
- 12:25as you have those um lower time frame
- 12:26reversal signatures, you're pretty much
- 12:28good. And as you can see, we can trade
- 12:30this continuation because we have that
- 12:32small wick. We have no established high
- 12:34of the day and
- 12:37an established low of the day with a
- 12:39draw open. Now, let's talk about London
- 12:41reversal. This is where the previous
- 12:43sessions do not reverse, so you're
- 12:45essentially going to be reversing off of
- 12:472200 low, and it's all about wick size,
- 12:49man. You see this wick size? We're
- 12:51trading very far beyond this low. That
- 12:54is creating that large wick, which is an
- 12:56invalidation, right? We want that
- 12:58reversal to expansion candle at all
- 12:59times. We ideally want to be trading
- 13:01expansion candles.
- 13:03Now, let's go ahead and go over a London
- 13:06reversal. So, here we have a C2 candle.
- 13:10So, what are we going to do? We're going
- 13:11to mark out the previous candle's range
- 13:13cuz we have this C2 candle on the daily
- 13:15time frame. We're going to look for a
- 13:16refined key level in the lower half of
- 13:19the previous candle's range.
- 13:21As you can see on the forward chart, we
- 13:23have no refined key level, so we're
- 13:25going to drop down to the hourly.
- 13:27In here, Asia session consolidates, that
- 13:30consolidation creates a uh relevant
- 13:33swing in the market. Where this relevant
- 13:36swing is positioned in the lower half of
- 13:38the pre-stage range. As you can see, we
- 13:41tag this key level
- 13:43and we print a C2 candle, right? So, now
- 13:46you're going to ask yourself, does the
- 13:474-hour wick support expansion? Let's go
- 13:49see. Yes, it does. Very, very small
- 13:51wick. So, that means that this specific
- 13:54candle can actually expand.
- 13:57Now, let's go over London reversal where
- 13:59we cannot engage within this 4-hour time
- 14:01window or within the 2:00 a.m. 4-hour
- 14:03candle. And that is simply because when
- 14:06we take out this key level, what do we
- 14:08do? We have this large run away from the
- 14:12opening price, which creates that very,
- 14:14very large wick.
- 14:15So, you're not going to be trading the
- 14:16London reversal. You're going to be
- 14:18trading the 6:00 a.m. continuation.
- 14:21Now, let's go over the New York a.m.
- 14:23session,
- 14:24which is created from two 4-hour
- 14:26candles, but specifically, we're first
- 14:28going to be talking about the 6:00 a.m.
- 14:304-hour candle.
- 14:31So, now let's go over New York
- 14:33continuation. Ideally, this is where the
- 14:35day opens low, 2:00 reverses, creating
- 14:38that C2. Then you can trade that 4-hour
- 14:416:00 a.m. continuation as a C3. Now,
- 14:44let's talk about New York reversal.
- 14:46Essentially the same thing, right? The
- 14:47previous sessions do not reverse, so you
- 14:50know that this 6:00 a.m. 4-hour candle
- 14:52must reverse. If it has that large wick,
- 14:55you're not going to be trading that.
- 14:56You're going to be trading 10:00 a.m. If
- 14:58it has a small wick, you can engage with
- 15:00this reversal profile. Now, let's talk
- 15:02about the second half of New York a.m.
- 15:04session, and that is going to be the
- 15:0610:00 a.m. 4-hour candle. What will that
- 15:08look like in most cases, or the most
- 15:11ideal case, is where 6:00 a.m. hits that
- 15:14key level, reverses, but has that large
- 15:16wick. So, we're not really going to be
- 15:17participating in this. We're going to
- 15:19wait for 10:00 a.m. to open because
- 15:20that's when the expansion will occur.
- 15:23So, how to trade a New York reversal,
- 15:26right? Same thing on all of these
- 15:28candles, man.
- 15:30Large wick, you're not going to trade
- 15:31it. That's an invalidation for this
- 15:33reversal profile or this time window to
- 15:35reverse. If it has a small wick, then we
- 15:38know that this candle can indeed expand
- 15:40and we can participate in that New York
- 15:43reversal profile. Now, let's talk about
- 15:45the New York PM session, which is
- 15:47composed of one 4-hour candle, which
- 15:50opens up at 14:00.
- 15:52So, now let's cover the New York
- 15:53continuation. And one thing that is
- 15:55absolutely crucial about trading the New
- 15:57York continuation for PM session is
- 16:00there needs to be an open draw
- 16:03no matter what, right? Because this is
- 16:05towards the end of day, especially when
- 16:07it is a large expansion candle.
- 16:09The day is most likely capped off at
- 16:12that point. So, you trying to trade on
- 16:14an already existing expansion candle,
- 16:17right? That ADR could be already capped
- 16:19off. And you could just consolidate in
- 16:21this 4-hour candle. So, it's really
- 16:23important that there's an open draw
- 16:24liquidity.
- 16:25And as you can see here, 10:00 a.m.
- 16:26reverses, what do we have at 14:00?
- 16:29When it opens, it's an open draw, and
- 16:31that's where we can look to trade a New
- 16:34York continuation.
- 16:36Now, let's go ahead and cover the PM
- 16:37session trading the 14:00 4-hour candle.
- 16:41So, here we're going to be going over
- 16:42continuation. That is when 10:00 a.m.
- 16:44reverses, as you can see the profile
- 16:47here is very ideal. Where we open high
- 16:49first into a low high, create SMT there.
- 16:54And the most important thing for trading
- 16:55continuation is there is an open draw in
- 16:58close proximity to the 14:00 open,
- 17:01which is right here.
- 17:05As you can see,
- 17:06there is plenty of time in the day to
- 17:08get to the strong liquidity, and that's
- 17:10really what you need to trade
- 17:11continuation. So, now let's go over the
- 17:14New York reversal for PM session. So,
- 17:18typically, this is going to be happening
- 17:20when you're trading a reversal candle.
- 17:23Let me explain. So, over here to the
- 17:25left, as you can see, this daily candle
- 17:28is likely going to print that large
- 17:29wick, right? So, here, price expands
- 17:31away from the opening price, which is
- 17:33creating that very, very large wick when
- 17:35price returns back to the opening price.
- 17:38What do we know about large wick
- 17:39candles? They cannot expand, especially
- 17:41beyond the opening price. So, when 10:00
- 17:44a.m. comes up here and dips above that
- 17:46opening price,
- 17:471400 is going to have a very hard time
- 17:50expanding beyond this level of this
- 17:53daily open, right? So, looking for a New
- 17:54York reversal back into the range is
- 17:57often a pretty good trade. Now, let's go
- 18:00ahead and go over this reversal
- 18:01scenario.
- 18:02It's somewhat similar to this, but it's
- 18:04a it's actually a little bit different.
- 18:05This is more so with a daily profile.
- 18:08This over here is really showing, you
- 18:10know, hitting an actual key level. So,
- 18:13when the day when a daily candle hits a
- 18:16key level,
- 18:17this is where we can
- 18:19obviously get a reaction, right? And
- 18:21what you're really looking for this day
- 18:22to kind of do
- 18:23is ideally, you know, close back within
- 18:26this range. You know, that's going to be
- 18:28the reaction off that key level. Maybe
- 18:29it's a form of C2, right? A C2 candle
- 18:32typically closes back within this daily
- 18:33range to form that large wick. That's
- 18:35what this is creating right now, right?
- 18:37The daily open's here, price is coming
- 18:39back into the daily open to form that
- 18:42large wick. So, you're kind of
- 18:43anticipating that to happen. You could
- 18:45view it maybe as this as well. Maybe
- 18:47three expansion candles in a row into a
- 18:49key level, coming back in the range, or
- 18:51maybe ERL is a key level, IRL is your
- 18:53drawing liquidity.
- 18:55Whatever Whatever you view it as, uh it
- 18:57can be a good scenario for a 1400
- 18:59reversal.
- 19:01Now, let's go over how to trade a 1400
- 19:03reversal.
- 19:04And this is going to be using a specific
- 19:06profile that is a delayed retraction
- 19:08profile, just like we went over for
- 19:12the 10:00 a.m. candle.
- 19:13And as you can see here,
- 19:15the daily candle opens low first, right?
- 19:19But, what's the problem here?
- 19:20We can't trade continuation. Why? Cuz
- 19:22price has made a very significant move
- 19:26away from the daily open, creates that
- 19:27large wick, right? So, price going to
- 19:29have a really hard time expanding beyond
- 19:31the high. So, we can use that to our
- 19:33advantage and understand that the 14:00
- 19:35candle is not actually likely to
- 19:37continue higher. It's probably going to
- 19:38close back inside of the range. And we
- 19:41can trade a little countertrend trade.
- 19:43Maybe you can target EQ or a gap within
- 19:46the previous 4-hour candle. So, it's
- 19:48really like trading IRL to IRL
- 19:51countertrend, basically. And as you can
- 19:53see, price reverses
- 19:55off of the previous candle's high
- 19:57at 14:00, and you can look to target
- 20:00some of these gaps.
- 20:02Now, I'm going to be talking about the
- 20:04most ideal way to trade a 14:00 New York
- 20:07reversal.
- 20:09And that is when the day expands into a
- 20:12relevant level. This is very important
- 20:14to understand because what we're trying
- 20:17to go for
- 20:19is the anticipation of a daily reversal
- 20:22candle forming, right? Where we hit a
- 20:24key level late in the day,
- 20:26and that day is going to be capped off
- 20:28by 14:00 to come back into the daily
- 20:31range, to kind of close back inside of
- 20:34the previous day's range, or kind of
- 20:35create that wick that the next day will
- 20:37use to continue off of. So, as you can
- 20:39see, this is even better when all three
- 20:42sessions prior
- 20:43all expand the same direction. Because
- 20:45when you have all three
- 20:47sessions expanding the same direction,
- 20:49PM session is not going to continue,
- 20:51usually.
- 20:52It's really going to cap off its daily
- 20:53range and come back into the the range
- 20:55here. But, when it's all three sessions
- 20:57into a key level,
- 20:59I mean, that's even better, man. Um
- 21:01really, you don't want to see two
- 21:03sessions expand in the same direction. I
- 21:05would avoid that next session. But,
- 21:07that's what you see here, man, every
- 21:08single 4-hour candle prior is an
- 21:10expansion candle. So we're expecting
- 21:13that reversal off of the 1400 low. We
- 21:16can trade that continuation.
- 21:18We can trade that reversal back into the
- 21:20day range targeting gaps or any gaps in
- 21:23this previous
- 21:244-hour candle.
- 21:26In this specific logic also works very
- 21:29well if 10:00 a.m. reverses off of a
- 21:32daily key level and you trade 1400
- 21:34continuation back into the range.
- 21:37So now let's go ahead and show you guys
- 21:38how to put it together using the daily
- 21:41and the 4-hour chart. We'll be covering
- 21:43how to trade a reversal day, right?
- 21:45Using IRL to ERL. So how to trade a
- 21:48reversal candle, you always need a key
- 21:50level. So IRL is our key level. And what
- 21:54are we going to confirm the low of this
- 21:55reversal day is a 4-hour swing, right?
- 21:58So as you can see,
- 21:59once we engage with this 4-hour key
- 22:01level, this candle doesn't reverse. So
- 22:04what do we expect? A reversal off of
- 22:06this previous candle's low. Once we
- 22:08create that and get our confirmations,
- 22:09we can trade this candle here, right?
- 22:12You can It can be any session, right?
- 22:14Maybe this is the London session. Maybe
- 22:15this is 1800, 2200. This is 2:00 right
- 22:18here. If it has a small wick, you can
- 22:20trade it, right? If you have that
- 22:22drawing including the open, we're
- 22:23expecting that New York continuation,
- 22:25right? And this swing formation, this C2
- 22:28candle is confirming the low of this
- 22:314-hour candle. We can even trade this
- 22:33candle before it closes because it has
- 22:35that small wick, right? So as you can
- 22:36see, we're kind of aligning expansion
- 22:38candles, right? Daily reversal to
- 22:40expansion candle, 4-hour expansion
- 22:42candles. Now let's go over the same
- 22:44thing using IRL to ERL, but a
- 22:46continuation day. This is where the
- 22:49previous day expands. We're going to
- 22:50mark out equilibrium of that previous
- 22:53day's range. A refined key level within
- 22:55the upper half will be a fair value gap.
- 22:57And when we engage with that level, if
- 22:59we have that small wick, we can trade
- 23:00it, right? Aligning expansion candles in
- 23:03the same direction. Now, let's go over a
- 23:05reversal day using manipulation ranges.
- 23:07This is where the daily candle engages
- 23:09with a range low,
- 23:11and the low of the day is printed from a
- 23:134-hour C2 candle. We can look to trade
- 23:16back to the daily open, right? What do
- 23:19we want this data form like? Open low
- 23:21first, has a very large wick. So, what
- 23:23are we going to do? We're going to go
- 23:24ahead and target that opening price,
- 23:26right? Which is right here. As you can
- 23:28see, price can have trouble trading
- 23:30beyond that level. Now, let's go ahead
- 23:32and cover a continuation day using
- 23:35manipulation ranges. This is where the
- 23:37previous day reverses a refined key
- 23:39level within the upper half is a
- 23:41relevant swing. That relevant swing is
- 23:44your manipulation ranges. Going to
- 23:46reverse off that relevant swing. 4-hour
- 23:48reversal candle confirm the low of day.
- 23:50We're going to be looking to trade that
- 23:51continuation into the opposing range
- 23:54high, which is the previous high, and
- 23:56potentially to further objectives.
- 23:58Now, let's go over manipulation ranges.
- 24:00Manipulation ranges you can use on any
- 24:03time frame. It doesn't have to be a
- 24:05daily key level. It can be a 4-hour. It
- 24:08could be the 1-hour. It just has to form
- 24:11a high of day. The key level will be
- 24:12used to form the high of day. So, here
- 24:15it can be a reversal candle,
- 24:16continuation candle. Here, we're just
- 24:18going to be going over a reversal candle
- 24:19first. So, as you can see, we take out
- 24:22the previous high, which if we drop down
- 24:24to lower time frame, this is a relevant
- 24:27high.
- 24:28Um you can see the market profile. We
- 24:30trade into this relevant low. We do not
- 24:32manipulate it. So, we're likely to
- 24:33continue lower. We are in seek and
- 24:35destroy conditions. So,
- 24:37when we engage with this high at the
- 24:38external range, uh it is likely to
- 24:41continue that movement lower. So,
- 24:43essentially, it's expansion,
- 24:44consolidation, expansion. So, dropping
- 24:47down to lower time frame, what do we
- 24:49have? A relevant high. You can see a C2
- 24:52candle forms the high of the day at
- 24:5410:00 a.m. So, we can expect a 1400
- 24:57continuation as the low of the day is
- 24:59currently 1,800, which is a fair swing
- 25:01to the previous day's low. So, the low
- 25:03of day wasn't created from anything
- 25:04relevant. We have a bunch of fair
- 25:05swings, that's a perfect recipe for it,
- 25:09a draw on liquidity.
- 25:10Now, here we are on the daily chart. You
- 25:12can see on the higher time frame we're
- 25:13trading I R L to E R L technically.
- 25:16That's our draw on liquidity, but this
- 25:17is a continuation day using manipulation
- 25:19ranges. We have a valid C2 candle here.
- 25:22We're going to mark out the whole
- 25:24candle's range. And we're going to look
- 25:25for a low that we can use to trade away
- 25:29from and create the low of the day to
- 25:31get to our overall draw on liquidity.
- 25:34So, let's go ahead and drop up to the
- 25:35hourly time frame.
- 25:37So, as you guys can see, here we are on
- 25:38the hourly time frame. You can see the
- 25:40current low of day was London session.
- 25:42We had no reversal prior to the low of
- 25:45day or the high of day. So, this is
- 25:47essentially a manipulation range, right?
- 25:48Manipulate the low of the range to
- 25:50create the low of the day and target the
- 25:52high of day. Now, let's go see if we
- 25:544-hour confirmation created the low of
- 25:56the day.
- 25:57And as you can see here on the 4-hour
- 25:59time frame, what do we have?
- 26:01A 4-hour C2 candle created at 6:00 a.m.
- 26:05The profile opens low first. Once we put
- 26:08in that C2 candle, we're assuming that's
- 26:10the low of day from our manipulation
- 26:12range key level on the hourly or above.
- 26:14We can expect 10:00 a.m. to continue
- 26:17to expand towards our draw on liquidity
- 26:20and creating that C3 daily expansion
- 26:22candle for continuation. Now, let's go
- 26:24over an example of a reversal day using
- 26:26E R L to I R L. This is where the daily
- 26:29candle engages E R L
- 26:31and we're looking for that to turn into
- 26:33a reversal day to target I R L, the low
- 26:35of the day again confirmed by a 4-hour
- 26:38swing, aligning expansion candles in the
- 26:40same direction. And now, this is the
- 26:42same thing, a reversal day using E R L
- 26:44to I R L, except your I R L will be
- 26:47actually found within the previous day's
- 26:48range, right? This day here might expand
- 26:52into a key level, right? So, you're
- 26:54going to reverse off the previous low
- 26:55since this candle did not reverse.
- 26:57And when you look back within this
- 26:59previous day's range, you will find
- 27:014-hour gaps.
- 27:03So, as you can see, price expands,
- 27:05consolidates. Here's that previous low.
- 27:08Once you engage that, we're looking for
- 27:10our 4-hour reversal into expansion
- 27:13candle or our 4-hour C2 candle and we're
- 27:16looking to target back to the previous
- 27:18range into the IRL as our draw on
- 27:20liquidity. Now, here's another way a
- 27:23reversal day can form where your IRL
- 27:26will be within the current day's range.
- 27:29So, as you can see, the day starts off
- 27:30by expanding into a key level. We're
- 27:34going to get a reaction off of that key
- 27:35level.
- 27:36That can be your ERL.
- 27:39Your IRL will be found, like I said,
- 27:41within the current day's range. So, I
- 27:43went over this earlier within an example
- 27:46with PM session. And this is often when
- 27:48you will have this set up here is if the
- 27:51net 1400 candle, right? Basically, this
- 27:53key level will cap off the daily range.
- 27:55Price will come back into the daily
- 27:57range and form that large wick or that
- 28:00reversal candle.
- 28:01Now, let's go ahead and go over ERL IRL
- 28:04with some chart examples. As you can
- 28:06see, this is going to be a reversal day.
- 28:08Every single ERL IRL
- 28:10trade you take is pretty much counter
- 28:12trend
- 28:13um off of a higher low. You're going to
- 28:15target a fair value gap. So, this is
- 28:17going to be where we trade into a higher
- 28:20low on the daily time frame and you're
- 28:23going to be targeting the previous day's
- 28:25low, which is a
- 28:28fair value gap, right? So, technically,
- 28:31you don't have to hit a key level on the
- 28:33daily time frame as a swing higher low.
- 28:36It could technically be this as well
- 28:38where maybe you have consecutive days of
- 28:40expansion. Maybe you have a fair value
- 28:42gap here. And on the lower time frame,
- 28:44the previous high is a
- 28:48Maybe it's a relevant high, right?
- 28:50So, this would be your daily
- 28:52you know, the next day opens up, maybe
- 28:54consolidates, hits that ERL.
- 28:56You know, has SMT or something. This
- 28:58will be your ERL. This will be your IRL
- 29:00into the precious low, which is a gap.
- 29:01Is this is trading back into the
- 29:03precious range, which is IRL. But, as
- 29:05you can see, this day specifically does
- 29:07trade into a daily swing high or low.
- 29:11And we're going to print that reversal
- 29:13day and target that IRL.
- 29:15So, let's go into the 4-hour chart and
- 29:17see what forms a high of the day. And as
- 29:19you can see, how does this day print? It
- 29:22opens high first, which is exactly what
- 29:24we want to see.
- 29:26What forms a high of the day? 2:00 a.m.
- 29:28reversal candle.
- 29:30So, what can you expect the next candles
- 29:32to do?
- 29:33It's make its way back to this
- 29:34unestablished low of the day. Very, very
- 29:36large wick. So, what do we target as our
- 29:38maximum TP? Is the current low of the
- 29:40day
- 29:41or just beyond it. And that level here
- 29:44is the daily fair value gap high. So,
- 29:47now let's go over an ERL to IRL example
- 29:50where the IRL or the fair value gap
- 29:52exists in the previous day's range found
- 29:54on the 4-hour time frame generally,
- 29:56okay? And this happens where the current
- 29:59day is a reversal candle and it either
- 30:01reverses off of the previous day's low
- 30:04and then we trade into the precious
- 30:06range targeting that 4-hour IRL
- 30:08or the day trades beyond the precious
- 30:10low into a key level like here, like in
- 30:13this example,
- 30:14reverses and then we target that IRL
- 30:17found in the precious range. So, let's
- 30:19go ahead and go to the 4-hour time
- 30:20frame. So, here as you can see, how does
- 30:23the day form? It opens low first.
- 30:25A C2 forms a low of the day. What can we
- 30:28find in the previous day's range? Is
- 30:31that beautiful fair value gap, right?
- 30:33So, here is your ERL and here is your
- 30:35IRL
- 30:36for your universal model putting them
- 30:39all together.
- 30:40Now, lastly, we're going to be covering
- 30:41ERL to IRL when fading a higher time
- 30:45frame expansion candle. So, it's going
- 30:47to be something like this where
- 30:49ideally,
- 30:50you have a reason to come back into the
- 30:52range, whether that's
- 30:54you know, three consecutive expansion
- 30:56candles in a row
- 30:57to come back into the range and you face
- 30:58a price, or just one large expansion day
- 31:02into a key level on the daily time frame
- 31:04where you're going to cap off that daily
- 31:06range, something like that, right? So,
- 31:08you can see this daily candle's really,
- 31:09really large. We're just coming off of a
- 31:11very, very large expansion in general.
- 31:13So, you kind of have that logic. You
- 31:14need that logic in order to do this. Uh
- 31:17we're basically just fading a
- 31:19expansion candle back into its own range
- 31:22and targeting the IRL that exists uh in
- 31:25that range that basically created the
- 31:27expansion in the first place,
- 31:29um or the expansion candle in the first
- 31:30place. We're kind of assuming that it's
- 31:32going to close like this wick, right?
- 31:34Really just looking for a swing
- 31:36formation
- 31:37that's going to cap off that higher time
- 31:38frame candle's range. We're going to
- 31:40look for the expansion back into the
- 31:41range. Target the IRL.
- 31:44So, now here we are on the 4-hour time
- 31:45frame. As you can see, price has
- 31:46expanded very far away from the daily
- 31:49open, right? Price cannot expand
- 31:50forever. So, we're kind of looking for
- 31:52this range to be capped off, and that's
- 31:54going to happen from a C2. And as you
- 31:56can see, 6:00 a.m. candle reverses off
- 31:58of 2:00 a.m.'s candle,
- 32:00and that creates a level
- 32:03for price to target, right? Going from
- 32:06ERL to IRL, right? We can trade 10:00
- 32:09a.m. continuation as 6:00 a.m. confirms
- 32:12that reversal. We can target the IRL
- 32:14back into the daily range.
- 32:18Now, let's go ahead and put it all
- 32:19together. Here, we're going to be
- 32:20showing examples on how to trade out of
- 32:23universal models on the higher time
- 32:25frame, how to confirm the high and low
- 32:28of these expansion candles, reversal
- 32:30candles, away from these higher time
- 32:31frame universal models with 4-hour swing
- 32:35formations. So, here we're going to be
- 32:37going over IRL ERL first, talking about
- 32:40trading a reversal day. You can only
- 32:43ever trade a reversal day from IRL on
- 32:46the daily time frame. As you can see,
- 32:48this daily candle
- 32:50is opening low, taking out the previous
- 32:52candle's low, so we know it's a reversal
- 32:54day. As this day is tagging the IRL,
- 32:57we're going to anticipate it to turn
- 32:59into a reversal into expansion candle,
- 33:02given the small wick making its way
- 33:04towards the ERL. So, simply
- 33:08IRL
- 33:10ERL
- 33:12and we want to confirm the low of this
- 33:14reversal candle with a 4-hour swing. So,
- 33:16let's go ahead and drop down to 4-hour.
- 33:18So, as you can see, we are on the
- 33:194-hour. How does the day form? How do we
- 33:21want reversal days to form or any
- 33:23bullish day? We want to open low first
- 33:25ideally.
- 33:26And as you can see, we get that reversal
- 33:29candle on the 4-hour time frame. There's
- 33:31plenty of range to go. We can target
- 33:33these fair value gaps or the 10:00 a.m.
- 33:35continuation.
