0:00What's up, everybody? Welcome back.
0:02Today, we're going to be covering the
0:03GXT 4-hour profiling video.
0:06Highly anticipated, so I appreciate
0:10y'all's patience.
0:12I think this video will be an eye-opener
0:14for many.
0:15We got a lot to cover, so let's get
0:18right into it.
0:20So, first thing we must understand is
0:23the different types of swing points,
0:25right? So, we're always confirming a
0:27reversal with a swing point. So, let's
0:29get into those different types.
0:32So, the first swing formation
0:35or reversal type is a C2 closure, right?
0:39This is the most common one, the easiest
0:41to identify. This is simply where you
0:43just wait for a C2 closure. A C2 closure
0:46is visibly shown by the failure to close
0:50below the previous candle's low. As you
0:52see, this signifies a reversal and that
0:55we can trade the next candle higher,
0:57right? So, essentially, candle two is
0:59manipulation. Candle three is
1:01distribution.
1:03Now, this next one takes a little bit
1:05more experience. It's something I use
1:08every single day across all time frames.
1:11It's essentially when candle one hits a
1:13key level, right? Or even candle two
1:15hits a key level. You have to hit a key
1:16level to even anticipate a reversal,
1:19right?
1:20So,
1:22the difference between this candle here
1:26and, you know, this swing point here.
1:29So, they're both candle twos, right?
1:30This is a candle two.
1:32This is also a candle two, but what's
1:33the difference? It's the wick size. So,
1:35if you've seen my candle profiling
1:38video, you would understand this.
1:40But essentially, since this candle does
1:41not support expansion, even if there's a
1:43key level here, we can't trade it as a
1:45candle two. You want to wait for that
1:47because we want to trade expansion
1:48candles, so since this candle doesn't
1:50support expansion, given the large wick,
1:52the large displacement away from that
1:54opening price, you would simply wait for
1:56candle three to open to trade the
1:58expansion. This is a bit different.
2:00Where we're opening near that low, so we
2:02already know it's likely to be taken
2:03out. So, when it does,
2:06right?
2:07And we create some sort of reversal
2:09confirmation, you know, this wick is
2:10confirmed. Since it supports expansion,
2:13it can reverse into expansion. It's
2:16still a reversal candle, but it's also
2:17an expansion candle
2:18because of the that small wick. So,
2:21that's the difference there.
2:22Now, this next one is simply where you
2:24don't have a candle two closure, you
2:26don't sweep with the previous candle's
2:27low. Um, so, you kind of wait for a
2:30candle three closure, right?
2:33Um, so once you have a candle three
2:34closure, a candle three closure is
2:35essentially when you close above candle
2:38two's
2:39uh, body or high,
2:41right? Then you can trade candle four.
2:44That would confirm a swing point. Shout
2:46out to T Trades for all these swing
2:47formations, by the way.
2:49So, this is um,
2:52specifically to the It's really a
2:53specifically to the 4-hour for me, this
2:57this here.
2:58Um, also the daily as well. But it's
3:01really specific to the 4-hour, this
3:03swing formation here. So, it's
3:04essentially this.
3:06It is this, right? But you're actually
3:08trading candle three.
3:09So, it's basically when the previous
3:10candle hits a key level
3:13and there's no reversal visibly shown on
3:15the time frame, you know, this time
3:17frame that we're seeing here, but on the
3:18lower time frame there is. So, pretend
3:21this is the 4-hour time frame.
3:22And within this wick here, we always see
3:24trades through a key level, so we can
3:26anticipate a reversal.
3:27But we It's not going to reverse within
3:29this candle because of the the larger
3:30opposing run. So, you're going to wait
3:32You're still going to wait for the new
3:33candle open, but
3:35there's a difference when we can
3:36anticipate this candle not taking out
3:38this low. Like I said, it's when there
3:40is a reversal within this candle's wick,
3:43or this candle's range, right? Whether
3:45that's a lower time frame swing point
3:46confirming it or some type of CSD, you
3:49know, whatever you use. I use swing
3:51points to confirm these lows. So,
3:53essentially,
3:54if this candle's low is created from a
3:56swing point and this candle's opening up
3:58within it, then I can trade that away.
4:01So, now let's go over key levels.
4:03I really only focus on three key levels.
4:07And mainly, it's highs and lows and fair
4:10value gaps, right? So, highs and lows
4:13are what you frame reversals from.
4:15And
4:16um, and you also retracements, right?
4:18So, once you hit a higher low, we can
4:20form a retracement. Once you hit a
4:22higher low, we can form a reversal.
4:23Now, fair value gaps and order blocks
4:26are for continuation. So, when price
4:28retraces into a fair value gap, we will
4:30continue away from it. Um, also after
4:33reversal, we expect fair value gaps and
4:36order blocks to support price higher in
4:38expansion. So, really, these are the
4:39only key levels that I really care
4:41about. So, this is what I'm looking for
4:43swing formations to form from to trade
4:44away from.
4:46Now, these are the models. So,
4:48essentially like these are key levels,
4:50but they're essentially just reversal
4:52points and targets, right? That's what a
4:54model is, really. This is the universal
4:56framework we use on all time frames. So,
4:58specifically, I'm using this every
5:01single day to confirm the high and low
5:03of the day. So, we all know what
5:05internal to external ranges is. It's
5:07essentially when market trades into a
5:09fair value gap. I'm not going to show
5:10you what a fair value gap is. There's a
5:12million videos on it. Price trades into
5:14a fair value gap and expands away
5:16trading into the external range, right?
5:19We create a swing formation. So, in this
5:20case, this is that candle three swing
5:22formation, right? Where you know, we can
5:25trade candle three. Let's say this is a
5:264-hour chart. Maybe candle two hits a
5:28key level. Doesn't have that reversal,
5:30but maybe within it we do, right? Or
5:32maybe when price starts to expand away,
5:34it confirms a reversal, right? Maybe by
5:36a CSD or something. Then we can trust to
5:38trade away from this low here.
5:40As long as the candle that we're trading
5:42within supports expansion, that's really
5:44all that matters.
5:45So, here,
5:46maybe you do wait for this swing
5:47formation. Well, now you have a valid
5:49candle three closure because it closes
5:51above candle two's high. So, now you can
5:53trade candle four into this,
5:56you know, external range higher, right?
5:58Marking on EQ of that previous candle's
6:00range, which we'll talk about a little
6:02bit in a minute
6:03or later on.
6:05We expect candle four expansion into
6:07this higher, right?
6:09Forming This would like form the low of
6:10the day, for example, right?
6:12So, in this case, right? We have price
6:15trading into external range liquidity,
6:17right? This can be any time frame. This
6:19can be the daily time frame. Let's say
6:20the previous day trades at the high,
6:22right? Closes at a candle two. This
6:24would simply be
6:27candle two, the previous day
6:28manipulation, this next day distribution
6:30into internal range. So, the previous
6:33day manipulation of external range, the
6:35next day distribution into internal
6:36range, right? This will also be the
6:384-hour chart, too, right? This can be
6:41Asia session, right? Manipulation,
6:44London session back into the daily
6:46range. Maybe Asia made a
6:48fair value gap or something like that,
6:49right?
6:50This is one of my favorite models to
6:52trade on all time frames.
6:54And it would be
6:56the order paying ranges or just a
6:58manipulation of a higher low in
7:00distribution into the opposing side of
7:01the range. It's favorable when the
7:03opposing side of the range is failure
7:05swings, like this.
7:07So, essentially, this is when, let's say
7:09candle one trades into the low,
7:10right?
7:12We can already anticipate a potential
7:13reversal, so if we're going to reverse,
7:15since this candle didn't do it, we would
7:17ideally want to reverse off this
7:18candle's low. So, this is how you can
7:19anticipate a candle two reversal into
7:21expansion, right? So, here is about, you
7:24know, swing formation, candle three
7:26closure confirms a swing. Here is about
7:29swing formation where candle two
7:30confirms a swing, and this is a valid
7:34um, candle two reversal into expansion
7:36given the wick size. So, you see how
7:38large this wick is?
7:39You can't trade it, right? You can only
7:41trade this one because of the wick size,
7:42right? You can also trade, obviously,
7:45this candle three because the draw on
7:46liquidity is still open. So, this is the
7:49framework I'm using to frame the high
7:50and low of the day
7:51every single
7:53every single day, right?
7:55So, what do we What is the goal of GXT?
7:57It's essentially to align expansion
7:59candles in one direction. So, just like
8:01I showed you here,
8:03from these key levels, I'm trying to
8:05align multiple expansion candles away
8:08from that key level, away from the low
8:10of the day. So, the low of the day is
8:13going to be put in from some sort of key
8:14level, right? Then I'm waiting for What
8:17Basically, waiting once I hit that key
8:18level, I'm basically waiting to see if
8:20the current 4-hour candle supports
8:22expansion away from that key level. If
8:24it doesn't, I'm essentially I'm
8:25essentially going to wait for the next
8:274-hour candle to open up to re- align
8:30itself with expansion. Then I can trade
8:32the expansion away. Within that 4-hour
8:34candle, I'm trading 1-hour and
8:3530-minutes swing formations, right? So,
8:38all I'm doing is just aligning expansion
8:40candles, like I said, right?
8:43So, that's what this would look like,
8:45right? We hit a key level, for example.
8:48We expand away, right? Let's say this is
8:50New York session. I can't trade this,
8:53right? Why? Because the current 4-hour
8:55candle that we're in does not support
8:56expansion higher. So, what do I wait
8:58for? The new 4-hour candle to open,
9:01right? The daily supports expansion at
9:03this point, but the 4-hour candle does
9:05not, so I'm waiting for candles to
9:07re-align bullish. So, essentially, all
9:09this 4-hour candle was responsible for
9:11was retracing. So, as you see, this is
9:14an example of this candle here is not a
9:17C2 closure. But within it, what did it
9:20do? This is why it's important to
9:21understand um, that
9:24you know, we don't actually need a C2
9:27closure, for example, because within
9:29that candle, we have a C2 closure and a
9:31key level being hit. So, we expect, you
9:34know, this this expansion to occur when
9:36that new 4-hour candle opens up, right?
9:38So, here, you can actually trade this.
9:40You can anticipate this low should not
9:42be taken, right? Because of that lower
9:44time frame reversal within that candle,
9:46that previous candle.
9:47So, then you would just trade this next
9:494-hour candle higher, right? And if you
9:52wanted to wait for extra confirmation,
9:53now you have a candle three closure,
9:55closing above this candle's high,
9:57then you could, you know, trade this
9:59candle as well, right? Because at this
10:01point this is already supporting
10:02expansion.
10:05So, now we're going to get into
10:06profiling the 4-hour chart. So, with
10:08Forex traders, you're essentially going
10:10to be focused on the 1:00 a.m., the 5:00
10:12a.m., the 9:00 a.m. candle. 1:00 a.m.
10:14represents the London session. 2:00 to
10:165:00 a.m. are what we're going to focus
10:19on cuz that is the kill zone.
10:215:00 a.m. represents the New York
10:24session. So, New York continuation
10:26{slash} reversal.
10:28We're focused on the hours of 7:00 a.m.
10:29to 9:00 a.m.
10:31because that is the kill zone.
10:33And then, as well as the 9:00 a.m.
10:35continuation verse uh or not verse, but
10:38the 9:00 a.m. New York continuation
10:41{slash} reversal. You're going to be
10:43focused on 9:00 a.m.
10:44really to around 11:00. You can cut off
10:47at p.m. 12:00 p.m., but for Forex,
10:51probably want to stop by 11:00, I would
10:53I would say, right? Um so, these little
10:55if-then statements, right? The ones we
10:58really care about are the ones down
11:00here. If 1:00 a.m. manipulates, then
11:025:00 a.m. should continue. If 5:00 a.m.
11:03manipulates, then 9:00 a.m. should
11:06continue. If 9:00 a.m. manipulates, then
11:09p.m. should continue, right?
11:11Essentially, if the 4-hour candle does
11:15not support expansion, the current
11:174-hour candle you're trading, right?
11:18Does not support expansion, even if it's
11:20a key level, you're going to wait for
11:21the next 4-hour candle to open. All
11:23right, that is a filter for price.
11:25Waiting for candles to align and
11:27aligning
11:28expansion candles in one direction. So,
11:30basically this is a filter for price.
11:33Right? It allows you to time high
11:36probable entries cuz you are trading
11:38within expansion candles, multiple
11:40expansion candles. That's why this model
11:43is very good, right?
11:44So,
11:46futures traders, this is what I trade.
11:49Um London session
11:50is going to represent the 2:00 a.m.
11:52candle, right? 2:00 to 5:00 a.m.
11:55Um New York 6:00 a.m. New York session.
11:57So, basically the a.m. session
11:59um
12:01is going to be between or um the 6:00
12:04a.m. New York continuation {slash}
12:06reversal will be uh 8:00 a.m. to 10:00
12:10a.m. I don't care about the hours of
12:116:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. They're not
12:13relevant, especially on indices.
12:15Um
12:16and the 10:00 a.m. candle um
12:18continuation verse reversal, we're going
12:20to be focusing on the hours of 10:00
12:22a.m. to 12:00 p.m., right? I don't
12:23really care about um 12:00 p.m. 13
12:28hundred. I don't care about that, right?
12:30Um so, really
12:32you're only focused on two hours.
12:35You only focus on the last half of the
12:376:00 a.m. candle and the first half of
12:39the 10:00 a.m. candle, right? So, really
12:41it's a four you're really trading for
12:42like four hours a day, you know? That's
12:44really all you're trading.
12:46So,
12:48the if-then statements, right? If 2:00
12:49a.m. manipulates, then 6:00 a.m. should
12:51continue. If 6:00 a.m. manipulates, then
12:53uh 10:00 a.m. should continue.
12:55If 10:00 a.m. manipulates, then 1400
12:58should continue.
12:59And again, same rule here. You want to
13:01wait for the expansion candles to align.
13:04Now, let's go ahead and move on. So,
13:06with the London reversal, again, what
13:08are we going to frame the high and lows
13:10of day from? Key levels, right? So,
13:121-hour and 4-hour key levels or above
13:15should form the high and low of the day,
13:17right? I'm not going to use a 15-minute
13:18key level, 30-minute key level.
13:20Ideally, it's 1-hour and above, right?
13:23So, here we have internal
13:26to uh external. So, the daily's opening
13:29low first, right? As you see, the London
13:32session does engage with this key level
13:33and you can trade it. Why can you trade
13:35it? Because of the small wick.
13:37The small wick supports expansion, so
13:39reversal into expansion.
13:41Here is an example of order paying
13:44ranges. So, the day opens low. You see
13:46that Asia session hits this low, but
13:48does not reverse. So, we want to reverse
13:49off that previous candle's low.
13:51Um and we do, right? We have that small
13:53wick, so we can simply trade it, right?
13:57As well over here. This will be external
13:59to internal, so maybe the previous day
14:00expanded, right? And then, we open low
14:04into the previous day's low, right?
14:05That's your external range. Since we
14:07expanded the previous day, that creates
14:09a gap from the previous day that we can
14:11then target for external to internal
14:13range, right? We can also trade this,
14:16right? Because it supports expansion.
14:17But, if it didn't support expansion, we
14:19would wait for the 6:00 a.m. candle to
14:21trade back into the range, right? So,
14:23here's example of maybe the previous day
14:25expanded, created a order block within
14:28the previous candle's range, right? The
14:30day opens low into it.
14:32Right?
14:33Asia session hits the lows, we reverse
14:35off the Asia lows, right? We can trade
14:36it because it supports expansion. So,
14:38any reversal profile you're trading
14:40will essentially just take out the
14:42previous candle's low, right? So, this
14:44is an a London reversal. It has to take
14:46out the previous candle's low on a
14:474-hour time frame because it's it's it's
14:48a reversal candle. Does that make sense?
14:51So, it's basically going to be a
14:53reversal to expansion candle. So, here's
14:55a New York continuation. This is 6:00
14:57a.m. continuation. So, this is basically
15:00when Asia or London puts a low of the
15:04day in. So, in this case,
15:06this is Asia session or sorry, London
15:09session puts a low of the day in.
15:11Here.
15:12So, if it puts a low in the day, what
15:14can we expect? We can trade this next
15:16candle higher, right? We already have
15:17the C2 closure or some lower time frame
15:20confirmation. So,
15:21all you got to do is confirm the low of
15:23this wick. How you going to confirm the
15:24low of this wick? With the 1-hour and
15:2630-minute swing point. Right? We confirm
15:29the high and low of the day with 4-hour
15:31swing points.
15:32We confirm the low and high of 4-hour
15:34candles with 1-hour and 30-minute swing
15:35points, which we're not going to go over
15:37today.
15:38We can go over that in a part two,
15:40right?
15:42So, in this case, here's your order
15:44paying ranges example. Here's your
15:46external to internal range example.
15:48Here's your order block example, right?
15:50So, again,
15:51just because this candle is not a
15:52reversal candle,
15:54doesn't mean it can't reverse, right?
15:56There could be a lower time frame
15:57reversal, right? So, maybe within this
15:59candle, there's a 1-hour swing point,
16:01etc., right? Or maybe a 30-minute CSD,
16:0315-minute CC, whatever you require,
16:06right? But, you're not going to trade
16:07this here away from this key level. Why?
16:09Because it does not support expansion.
16:10So, you're going to wait for the 6:00
16:12a.m. to continue away from that 2:00
16:14a.m. low.
16:16So, now this is 10:00 a.m. continuation.
16:19So, 10:00 a.m. continuation is when
16:21either 2:00 a.m. sets a low of day or
16:236:00 a.m. sets a low of day, doesn't
16:25matter. So, here's example of 6:00 a.m.
16:28setting a low of day, hitting internal
16:30range, right? And then, 10:00 a.m.
16:32continues towards Asia session highs.
16:35Here's order paying ranges where 6:00
16:36a.m. puts a low of day in. Here's
16:38external to internal.
16:40And here's 2:00 a.m. putting a low of
16:41day in, right? As long as there is a
16:44draw on liquidity open for 10:00 a.m.,
16:46you can trade continuation. But, let's
16:48say we expand prior
16:50like we expand a very large range prior
16:52to 10:00 a.m., you don't really want to
16:54look for a 10:00 a.m. continuation,
16:55especially if the draw on liquidity is
16:57already taken. So, that's a little tip
16:58for you.
17:00So,
17:01the 6:00 a.m. 4-hour reversal. This is
17:04the ideal New York reversal, right? So,
17:08within the 6:00 a.m. candle, you want to
17:09be trading the and pairing your
17:12framework with drivers. So, the 8:30
17:15driver and the 9:30 driver. This is why
17:18it is preferred to have a 6:00 a.m.
17:20reversal to form the high and low of the
17:22day in a New York reversal because
17:24you're essentially pairing that with the
17:25driver because the drivers reside within
17:28that 6:00 a.m. 4-hour time window.
17:31So, it is very ideal that is it a 6:00
17:33a.m. reversal. So, the your best trades
17:36are probably going to be 6:00 a.m.
17:38manipulation, 10:00 a.m. continuation.
17:40If you just waited for that, if you just
17:42traded the 10:00 a.m. candle,
17:43uh you will do great. You'll do fine,
17:46okay?
17:47There's plenty of opportunities within
17:49that one
17:504-hour candle, you know? Literally the
17:52first hour of that 4-hour candle, the
17:54first two hours. Um
17:56so, yeah. That's it another tip there.
17:58So,
18:00here's an example of, right?
18:02Previous sessions hit a key level,
18:04right? Where Asia you know, London hits
18:06this key level, but doesn't reverse. So,
18:07we got to roll that over to the next
18:09session. If London is not going to
18:10reverse, then we got to have
18:13um
18:14ideally, you know,
18:16uh
18:18New York to reverse. I can't talk,
18:19sorry.
18:20And ideally the drivers to reverse,
18:22right? If you haven't seen my driver
18:23video, go and watch it. One of the most
18:26consistent things you're going to see.
18:28Um it's very good.
18:30And uh yeah.
18:31So, here's an example of order paying
18:32ranges, right? Where previous session
18:34consolidate, well, we want 6:00 a.m. to
18:37go and manipulate, right? As long as it
18:38has that small wick, we can trade it,
18:40right? If it doesn't have that small
18:41wick, can't trade it. Then, you'd be
18:43trading the 10:00 a.m. continuation.
18:45All right, so here's an example of
18:47external to internal and just an order
18:50block continuation, basically, right?
18:53So, here is the 10:00 a.m. reversal,
18:55which is not my favorite.
18:58There is There's some nuances to the
19:0010:00 a.m. reversal um
19:02which we'll get into.
19:04I don't know if I have some examples of
19:05that, but a lot of times you can trade
19:08the 10:00 a.m. counter.
19:10So, what I'm what that really is is
19:12let's say we expand very large, I know,
19:16over overnight or just the a.m. session,
19:19whatever, and then 10:00 a.m. opens. So,
19:21basically the daily range is already
19:22capped off, it's already, you know,
19:24expanded. You can trade the 10:00 a.m.
19:26back to the range. This is a bit
19:27different where it actually forms a low
19:28of day and is actually creating the bulk
19:32of that daily candle. So, it's a it's a
19:34bit different. Um
19:36and this is specific, okay? When the
19:39driver trades into a key level. So, for
19:42example, like you you open up the 6:00
19:44a.m. candle and we haven't hit a key
19:46level yet, really. So, when the driver
19:49has expanded to a key level, right? But,
19:51they don't reverse. The reason why they
19:53won't reverse, for example, is because
19:54maybe the opening price is really far
19:56away or whatnot. Maybe they just Maybe
19:58they just hit that key level like late
20:00into the
20:01the end of that 6:00 a.m. candle or
20:03something like that, right? This is when
20:04you can actually anticipate a teeny
20:06reversal to be like more high probable.
20:08The reason why you don't want a teeny
20:09reversal majority of the time is because
20:11when those drivers fail to reverse, it's
20:14not really a good sig- that's not a good
20:15sign if they don't fail to reverse. Like
20:17you want the 6:00 a.m. candle to
20:18reverse. So, that's why I say that.
20:21Um and I have an example of this,
20:22actually. Yeah, I do, actually. So,
20:23that's good.
20:25So, again, I'm not going to go over
20:26this.
20:27We've already seen this, right?
20:28So, now let's go into the GXT ideal
20:30profile. This is where the low of the
20:33day, the the daily wick is formed from
20:36SMT manipulation.
20:38Right? So, basically, the low of day is
20:40created from protected swing creating
20:41the wick. So, what do we do after
20:44manipulation or once a protected swing
20:46is created? We expand, right? The
20:48expansion creates the body of the
20:49candle. Right? So, now you're just
20:51aligning 4-hour expansion candles away
20:54from this
20:56the low of the day, right? So,
20:57basically, this 2:00 a.m. candle here
21:00forms the low
21:01of the day, right? You're not going to
21:02trade this candle. Why? Because it does
21:03not support expansion. Pretty large
21:05wick. So, you're just going to simply
21:06wait to align yourself with expansion.
21:09Does that make sense?
21:10So, that is the GXT ideal swing or
21:14profile.
21:15So, now let's get into putting it all
21:16together here.
21:18So, this is an expansion candle, right?
21:20Continuation, right? You're just working
21:22off the previous candle's range. So,
21:24you're going to mark out the EQ of that
21:26previous candle's range if you're going
21:27to continue,
21:28right?
21:29Within that previous candle's range,
21:31there can be a gap left within the
21:33previous day's range to actually form
21:34the low from, right? So, this is where
21:36the day opens low into that gap that is
21:40or resides within that previous day's
21:42range, right? Then we're just trading a
21:454-hour profile. So, really all we're
21:47trading is a 4-hour expansion candles
21:49away from this
21:52key level. That's really it, right?
21:54Which if this wick supports expansion,
21:57right? We can trade it, right? This is
21:59internal to external. Trading 4-hour
22:01expansion candles away from it.
22:04Now, this is a C2 expansion candle,
22:08right? So, this is the daily reversal
22:09into expansion candle, right? So, let's
22:12say the previous day expanded into a key
22:13level. So, we can already anticipate a
22:15reversal.
22:16So, if this candle trades into a key
22:17level, but didn't reverse, well, we want
22:19to trade
22:20we want to manipulate that previous
22:22candle's low to reverse from, ideally,
22:24right? So, this is an example of
22:26us reversing off of that external range
22:28low, which is the previous low.
22:31And
22:32you know,
22:33that's just external to internal, right?
22:34We're just trading 4-hour expansion
22:36candles away from that,
22:37right? So, here is premium discount of
22:39that previous candle's range, right? We
22:41can target around EQ or the previous,
22:44you know,
22:45day's high, which is some sort of
22:46external range high, or simply just a
22:48fair value gap that resides in that
22:50previous candle's range.
22:52So, here's an example of what I
22:54mentioned earlier
22:56of you actually fading a
22:59um daily candle. So, the only way you
23:01can do this, guys,
23:03is if the previous day expanded a lot,
23:07like
23:08overnight or, like I said, before 10:00
23:10a.m. or something like that,
23:12where it hits a key level, right?
23:15Like a daily key level. So, you can
23:17already anticipate some sort of reversal
23:18candle, you know, forming there or some
23:20sort of reaction. That's the only way
23:21you can trade this reversal candle,
23:24right? The only way you should be
23:25trading it.
23:26So, essentially, what you're going to be
23:27You're going to be fading
23:29the daily candle,
23:31but you're going to be trading a 4-hour
23:32expansion candle back into the daily
23:34range. So, you you're not you are fading
23:37the daily candle, but we already know
23:39that we can tr- we can fade a daily
23:40candle, right? But we know that price
23:42cannot expand past this open.
23:44So, our targets we need to adjust our
23:46targets. We can't be targeting key level
23:48or objectives way beyond the daily open
23:50way up here. It can't It's not going to
23:52work It's not going to work ever because
23:54of the large wick. Okay? We know that
23:56price can close, you know, we don't know
23:58where it's going to close, but we know
23:59it's going to close somewhere,
24:01you know,
24:02you know, wherever, right? So, if this
24:03is going to form the low of day, we know
24:04it's going to form
24:06the the day is going to you know, close
24:07back within this range somewhere in
24:08here, right?
24:09But we can target either, you know, the
24:11you know, maybe some relevant uh high or
24:13something back within the daily range,
24:15maybe external range liquidity or
24:17internal, sorry.
24:19So, this is an example of
24:21external to internal. So, either the
24:22external,
24:24you know, key level is way to the left
24:26or maybe it's created within the same
24:28day. So, maybe this is Asia expansion,
24:30London low,
24:32New York manipulation of London low,
24:34right? 10:00 a.m. opens up, right?
24:37We already have a reversal within the
24:38previous 4-hour candle because it hit a
24:40key level,
24:41which is an hourly low here.
24:43And then we can trade that 10:00 a.m.
24:44candle back within the daily range,
24:46right?
24:48This is This example of the previous day
24:52is a reversal candle, so we're expecting
24:53this next day to expand.
24:55Within that previous day's range, we
24:58have a relevant low. So, when
25:01manipulated, right? This creates a
25:02protected swing, which, you know,
25:05confirms this low of the day, which is
25:07the GXT ideal profile, right? Like I
25:09said, the ideal scenario when
25:11manipulating is, you know, opposing
25:14feather swings on the other side of that
25:17that um range to targets. That's always
25:20ideal.
25:21Now, we're just confirming the low
25:23with a swing formation, right?
25:25And ideally, SMT.
25:27So, this is trading another C2 candle.
25:30This is for the forex traders, right?
25:34This is order pairing ranges. So, we
25:36manipulate the previous day's high
25:39back within that previous day. We have a
25:40bunch of feather swings to target,
25:42right? So, just going from
25:44range high to range low.
25:47Now, we're just trading 4-hour expansion
25:49candles away from that. So, we wouldn't
25:50be trading this 1:00 a.m. candle. So,
25:52this is technically a London reversal.
25:55We'd be waiting for that New York
25:56continuation because this doesn't
25:58support expansion. You just don't know
26:00where it's going to close, right? Could
26:01close here, close here. You don't know.
26:03So, you don't wait for this candle to
26:05expand. And it's also not going to
26:06travel very far past the open because of
26:08the candle profile.
26:11So, that's all I have for here.
26:13Now, let's get into these examples here.
26:19So, here
26:20what do we have? Let's go to the daily
26:21time frame.
26:23So, with this previous week
26:25here, we have an expansion, as you see.
26:27So, we can definitely expect a new phase
26:29of price. So, a lot of times you can be
26:32very one-sided on a Monday.
26:34This idea you can't trade Monday,
26:36not true.
26:38Especially when the previous week
26:39actually hits a key level
26:41or expands, right?
26:43Here's the reason why. So, here's the
26:45logic.
26:46If we're going to rever- if there's
26:47going to be a reversal week, when are we
26:49going to reverse? Early on the week,
26:51typically, right? Off of this candle's
26:53high. More than likely. We're going to
26:55reverse early on the week. So, it makes
26:57sense that you can trade Monday back to
26:59the range, right? If you're going to
27:00have some sort of profile like daily
27:02profile that supports the idea. But
27:04also,
27:05if you're going to continue from this
27:06range here,
27:08when would we open low first?
27:10Or or how if we're going to continue,
27:12how are we going to continue, typically,
27:13right? We're going to open low first and
27:16go higher. That's how a bullish candle
27:18forms, typically, right?
27:19So, whenever we're going to open low
27:21early on the week. So, you're one-sided
27:24bearish, right? Going into the week.
27:27When are you likely to,
27:28you know, consolidate, right? After
27:31expansion.
27:33When the candle opens, right? So, either
27:35way it's like even it's going to
27:36consolidate or or trace, blah blah blah.
27:38You can't be bullish this this this day,
27:40right? Cuz you you would expect a new
27:42phase of price, typically, right?
27:44It's just like this week here. It's like
27:46if we're going to continue,
27:48like if this if we're going to reverse
27:49this week, for example, and if we're
27:51going to continue off this candle's
27:52range, like you're going to see the low
27:53of these candles probably made really
27:55ear- early on the week.
27:57Uh this is Wednesday.
27:59This is Tuesday. So, typically, like
28:02Monday through Wednesday is going to
28:04you're going to reverse, right?
28:07You're likely going to reverse or
28:09retrace early on the week. So, this is
28:11what we have here, right?
28:13Where it just makes sense because here
28:16the daily is opening high first and
28:18relieving a gap, right? So,
28:20in this case, you don't want to you
28:22don't want to trade Asia session. So,
28:24you would trade what? London session.
28:27A manipulation of this high.
28:33So, as you see,
28:35what forms the high of this 2:00 a.m.
28:37candle?
28:39Sorry.
28:40Is a
28:42CSD on the 1-hour time frame.
28:47But also, a swing formation on the 2:00
28:50a.m. candle, right?
28:51So, this forms the the high of the 2:00
28:53a.m. candle. Now, you have to ask
28:54yourself, we hit a key level to form the
28:55high of day, 1-hour and above key level.
28:58We have a draw on liquidity.
28:59The candle profile supports it. It's
29:00opening high first. The logic makes
29:02sense to retrace back in this range or
29:04whatnot to fill this gap. So, now you're
29:06asking yourself, does the current 4-hour
29:08candle support
29:09bearishness or expansion? Expansion.
29:12So, obviously, it does, right?
29:13As you see that small wick. So, then you
29:15can trade
29:16these expansion candles to this low.
29:19It's as simple as that,
29:20right?
29:21So, this should be your target,
29:22essentially.
29:23Or the the gap fill, you know, whatever
29:25you want, right?
29:26Now, with this this previous day's
29:27close,
29:30this looks very good to continue from,
29:32right? What do we have? A bunch of
29:33feather swings. You have a gap here. So,
29:36this could just be right price returning
29:37into a gap. This could be a higher time
29:38frame draw on liquidity.
29:40So, what are we going to do? We're going
29:41to look for a key level back within this
29:43previous candle's range,
29:45right? So, whatever key level is you
29:47know, by the daily open, that's really
29:49what we care about. This could form the
29:51potential high and low today. So, do we
29:52have a key level? Sometimes you don't.
29:54So, in this case you do, right? Look
29:56within the previous candle's range, we
29:57have a 4-hour gap.
29:59And even better, right? We open high
30:01first into that gap.
30:03Right? And we create SMT with the range
30:05high. So, this is a very strong
30:08signature in price. Essentially where
30:12price creates a fair swing, that fair
30:13swing is created from a gap and SMT with
30:16the range high. This is a very high
30:18probable signature, especially with the
30:20candle profile supporting it, right?
30:22And look at all these fair swings, like
30:23very one-sided, right? So, look at the
30:26high of the day.
30:27It's formed from a 6:00 a.m.
30:29New York reversal and a 10:00 a.m.
30:31continuation, but we can actually trade
30:34this reversal.
30:36As you see, right? Why? Because it hit
30:38the key level.
30:39It's the candle that actually creates
30:40the SMT, but also, let me delete this.
30:45But also it supports expansion. So, see
30:47how we can trade candle twos? We don't
30:49have to wait for the close necessarily.
30:51Um so, if you look here,
30:53what forms the high of that
30:551-hour swing?
30:57Right?
30:58What do we have? A CSD in the hourly
31:00timeframe. It's up to you like what you
31:02want to require. I don't require an
31:03hourly CSD, but it's there.
31:05In this case.
31:07But
31:089:30, as you see.
31:10So, if this is going to be a high of day
31:12or this is going to be a bearish day,
31:13then what do we want the driver to do?
31:15We want it to reverse. So, here's the
31:169:30 the driver. As you see, it creates
31:19SMT with NQ here and puts in a reversal.
31:22So, if 9:30 reversed, what should 10:00
31:25a.m. do? Or the 6:00 a.m. candle also
31:27reverse, you know, 9:30 as well.
31:2910:00 a.m. should just continue lower.
31:31So,
31:32this is when you can trade
31:34the you know, whatever you trade, right?
31:37So, here's continuation order blocks. Um
31:41you know, maybe you trade just the
31:4230-minute opposing candle here. That's
31:44fine, too, right? Many ways to trade. Um
31:47I'm going to show you guys
31:48you know, multiple different ways to
31:49trade this, but yeah, this would be just
31:51be this, right? You have the 10:00 a.m.
31:54opening here. So, once it closes above
31:56the opposing candles, now you can assume
31:58that the high of the 10:00 a.m. candle
32:00is protected by these opposing candles
32:01essentially. Put your stop loss here
32:03and you let it ride, right? Until your
32:06overall draw on liquidity, especially
32:08just the previous day's low here. So,
32:10that's an example there. Hopefully that
32:12makes sense.
32:14Now, let's move on.
32:16So, with this
32:18is a interesting example. I don't want
32:21to show you guys the most, you know,
32:24you know, like perfect examples or
32:26whatever. And I had
32:28man, I had a
32:31I had a
32:32example of
32:36a Asia reversal. So, this is kind of
32:39scuffed here, guys.
32:40I don't know why I didn't show this.
32:42Kind of annoying. This is supposed to be
32:45in here, but it's not. So, obviously I
32:48showed you guys a London reversal.
32:51But what about an Asia reversal? This
32:53This doesn't necessarily have to be
32:55formed from a swing point, right?
32:58And this is this is essentially when the
33:00day opens up and it starts expanding,
33:01right? So, the way you're going to trade
33:03this is you're just going to be either
33:05two things. You're either going to be
33:06trading
33:08a continuation from the previous 4-hour
33:09range. So, you're wanting the previous
33:124-hour, you know, um upper half to
33:15respect right? This range so to to
33:18support expansion. So, that small wick,
33:20you're basically just trading a 4-hour
33:21expansion candle away from the low of
33:22the day, right? Just like I have
33:24mentioned, right?
33:25Um
33:26or
33:28above the daily open. Right? So, here's
33:30the daily open, above it. There's going
33:32to be some form of swing formation that
33:33forms. Right? So, basically price
33:35expands, retraces, puts in a swing
33:37formation. This swing formation confirms
33:40reversal. So, basically expansion,
33:42retracement, the C2 kind of caps off the
33:45retracement, and the next candle
33:46expands. Does that make sense? Um so, I
33:48wanted to add this in there because it's
33:51very important because a lot of times
33:52Asia session can be high and low today.
33:54So, it's really good to know. And that's
33:56what you see here. So, with this weekly
33:59profile, as you see, this is Monday's
34:01open here.
34:02And Monday expands higher
34:05and we inside bar within Monday's range
34:08throughout the whole week, really.
34:09Um so, what is this? This is a
34:11consolidation
34:13profile.
34:14At this point, the weekly candle is more
34:16so supporting a bullish week because of
34:20the small wick on the on the uh
34:24you know, the the lows, right? So, price
34:25expanded pretty far away from the weekly
34:28open, so I'd be favoring
34:30this as a manipulation to really return
34:32back in this range, but we know it can't
34:34really expand really far away
34:37because you're going to see that this is
34:38a bank holiday, so it's capturing
34:41Thursday and Friday in one range. But
34:43this is not a the day you're going to
34:45look at here.
34:47It's not a bearish candle whatsoever.
34:49So, here's the opening price. So,
34:51essentially the previous day, the bank
34:53holiday traded into low.
34:54We just instantly open up and expand
34:56away. That's what I mean by this. Prices
34:58open up and expand away.
35:00So, when you see this kind of happen,
35:02um in this specific scenario, it's like
35:05you know that price is not likely to get
35:07all the way up here. One because that
35:08daily range is going to be huge for one,
35:10like this daily range is already massive
35:12at this point, but also the the weekly
35:14candle profile doesn't really support
35:16that. So, when price returns back into
35:17this range and we have an internal
35:19manipulation,
35:20this can form the high of day, right?
35:23So, this is an example of 6:00 a.m.
35:24forming the high of day, right?
35:27Um
35:28and there's no candle two closure as you
35:30see. But when you look within this
35:32candle, what do we have?
35:34A reversal. So, we have 9:00 a.m., so
35:37we're pairing a driver, or sorry, we're
35:39pairing a manipulation with the driver.
35:41So, 9:30 reverses price. That's pretty
35:43significant.
35:44So, 10:00 a.m. opens up within that
35:46reversal, within the previous candle's
35:48range. So,
35:50as you see, like this candle does not
35:51reverse. Why? Cuz it doesn't support
35:54expansion. When does it actually
35:55reverse?
35:56When the new candle opens, right? Pretty
35:59random, right?
36:00What about this here as well?
36:03So, here you have a nice V-shape
36:04signature, right? You trade into low and
36:06then expand away like this.
36:08So,
36:09you see how we have a C2 candle above
36:12the daily open.
36:13So, this can be a area to reaccumulate
36:18to continue, you know, away from that
36:20low of the day,
36:21right? From this gap, really.
36:24And get to some sort of draw on
36:25liquidity, which is this little range
36:27high. Does that make sense? So, that's
36:29an example of this, actually.
36:32Here. Example of this, a C2 closure
36:34above the daily open. Okay.
36:37Um
36:38So, that's an example there. Also had
36:40this example here. These are just days
36:42where
36:43um they have like interesting profiles,
36:45so I I wanted to show you guys. So, here
36:47you see Asia session just expands,
36:49creates the whole daily range.
36:52Right? This is when you can expect the
36:54next, you know, sessions to retrace
36:55because we cannot expand forever. That's
36:58one thing we we really can't do, right?
37:00What do we also trade into? This daily
37:01swing low, right? So, we can expect some
37:04new phase of price. Um you can't expand
37:06forever, so this is when, you know,
37:07London or New York can retrace back in
37:09this range. But we also can't The other
37:12thing we can't do is expand past this
37:14this daily open. Why? Because look how
37:17far price traded away from this this
37:19opening price.
37:20So, see this this is an expansion
37:22candle, right? So, you expect this to be
37:24some sort of retracement, and that
37:26retracement be capped off at some point.
37:28So, you know that price is going to
37:30close below this opening price,
37:33right?
37:35So, when this 10:00 a.m. candle here
37:39trades into the opposing candle or just
37:40premium of the range, you can just trade
37:42this candle, you know, back lower
37:44essentially. So, this is like a p.m.
37:45trade. So, like 1400. So, you have the
37:47logic is the same. Um it doesn't really
37:50matter
37:51what what um
37:53kind of, you know, thing you're trading.
37:55It doesn't really matter what time you
37:56trade, blah blah blah blah. Does not
37:57matter.
37:58Um I remember I traded this as well.
38:00It's kind of random, but
38:02here's a manipulation here.
38:04What forms the low of day?
38:06It is 2:00 a.m.
38:08You have an SMT here, I I do believe.
38:11Let me just double check that. I don't
38:13remember.
38:14Okay, you do. I don't know how I
38:15remember that. But yeah, you have an SMT
38:17here.
38:20I guess it's on ES, right?
38:22What? Where's my drawing go? Weird. I
38:24don't know where my drawings went, but
38:26here you have an SMT here.
38:29Right? And I remember I traded this
38:30high, right? Here's the candle profile,
38:32right? It opens low first, right? It's
38:35trading back in this range. Anyways,
38:37let's move on to
38:40another example.
38:45All right.
38:47So, with this,
38:50what did the previous week do? Expanded,
38:52right? So, if this is going to be
38:54another expansion week,
38:55do we have a key level
38:58that is from the previous week's range?
39:00Or are we, you know, are we have Do we
39:02have a key level around the weekly open?
39:04Why do we want to Why do we want key
39:06levels
39:07from
39:08or around the opening price of the
39:10candle that we're trading? It's because
39:12we want closer proximity key levels, so
39:14they support expansion. So,
39:17the the candle low can trade into it and
39:19have that small wick. If it's a key
39:21level that's really far away,
39:23then obviously that would create a large
39:24wick, right? Because price would have to
39:26travel very far, which doesn't support
39:28expansion. So, we don't want to trade
39:29that, right?
39:30So, in this case,
39:32we have Monday opening high first,
39:35which is
39:36not really ideal. Like this can support
39:38some retracement lower because opening
39:40high first,
39:41right? And then we have price leaving
39:44these kind of like these fair swings,
39:45right? And then price trades into this
39:47low, creates gap SMT, so if I show you
39:50these assets, none of these other assets
39:51trades with gap, as you see. So you have
39:53SMT with the gap
39:55there.
39:58Where
39:59Why are my drawings disappearing?
40:01What the hell, man?
40:05Where are my drawings disappearing?
40:08Okay. That's weird.
40:10It's over here.
40:12So here you have
40:13um that SMT,
40:15right? With that previous candle low
40:16within a gap, so you can already
40:18anticipate what? A reversal to expansion
40:21candle on the daily time frame because
40:22the previous day hit a key level,
40:25right? And I have SMT confirming that
40:27low. That's great, right? So I go to the
40:294-hour time frame here.
40:32What do we have? 6:00 a.m. manipulation.
40:35What we expect 10:00 a.m. to do? Expand,
40:37right? It's also a strength switch. Why
40:39is it strength switch? Notice how this
40:41is the candle that manipulated, right?
40:44That is in discount of a range.
40:46Look where NQ and or ES and YM are,
40:50right? They're in premium of a range.
40:51And look at this close here, guys.
40:55Look at the close. Look at the wick
40:56size. So it's showing, you know,
40:59strength, basically. Look at ES here.
41:01The 6:00 a.m. close is closing a
41:04with a large body, right? Over here it's
41:06with a large body as well. You have an
41:08SMT right here.
41:09So that is obviously a strength switch,
41:11right?
41:12Boom, there's your two-stage SMT. So you
41:14can trade this higher, right? If I go to
41:16the 1-hour time frame,
41:19here is your two-stage SMT right here.
41:22Right? You see it happened even sooner,
41:24actually. So here you be manipulated
41:26prior to
41:289 9:30. So what does the 9:00 candle do,
41:30which has 9:30 in it? It expands away,
41:33right? So again, there's these drivers,
41:36right? Very consistent. We already know
41:38this. We also have a V-shaped signature
41:41that is a sign of reversal.
41:44You guys should know that. What do you
41:45have on the posing side of that?
41:46Consolidation. So when 10:00 a.m. opens
41:48here,
41:51right? It has that inter-candle CSD,
41:53which is a T-trade concept, but
41:56basically
41:57price expands away from the 10:00 a.m.
41:59open, right? Forms a um order block.
42:03Now I can assume that the 10:00 a.m. low
42:05is put in because it's protected by an
42:06order block, right? We should expect
42:08order blocks to support price higher,
42:10right? Into our draw on liquidity, and
42:12we can target 2R 2R draw there.
42:15Hopefully that one makes sense. It is a
42:176:00 a.m. reversal, 10:00 a.m.
42:19continuation, right? We're not going to
42:21trade this 6:00 a.m. candle.
42:23We're going to wait for the 10:00 a.m.
42:24candle ideally now.
42:25One way you can trade
42:27the one way you can trade a reversal
42:29candle
42:30is under
42:32a couple of conditions.
42:33It's when the profile supports it
42:36ideally, right?
42:38So in this case, doesn't really support
42:39it.
42:40Mm, kind of, not really. It's kind of a
42:43weird profile where it kind of opens
42:44high first and opens low. That's not
42:46ideal, right? Um you also need like
42:48higher time frame, right? So the higher
42:50time frame definitely supports it, like
42:51for sure. Higher time frame supports it.
42:53But the most important part really is
42:55you need to be trading away from the low
42:57of the day, right? The 6:00 a.m. candle
42:59or the candle that you're trying to fade
43:01has to be
43:03and it's always going to be the 6:00
43:05a.m. candle, actually. It's always going
43:06to be 6:00 a.m. candle. I'll show you
43:07I'll I'll show you the reason in a
43:09minute, but um
43:11you you want the 6:00 a.m. candle to
43:12form the high and low of day, right? You
43:14want it to be manipulation. So you want
43:16to be trading manipulation, always
43:17manipulation, because this is where like
43:19it's likely to form the reversal candle
43:21um and just close like high within its
43:24range or whatnot.
43:25And there also needs to be SMT. Why do
43:27you need SMT? So you can know it's an
43:29actual reversal. Like that way it
43:31actually forms a reversal candle. But
43:33here's how you position yourself within
43:34this candle.
43:36Well, not another thing, like you have
43:37to have a driver, by the way.
43:39So the 6:00 a.m. candle, why do we trade
43:416:00 a.m. candle? Because that's what
43:42the majority of the drivers are within.
43:44So the reason why you can trade a
43:46reversal candle,
43:47you know, within a driver is because we
43:50have the extra volatility to also expand
43:53within that same candle, right?
43:55So that's kind of the logic there,
43:56right?
43:57With with fading uh candles. And you
43:59know, with 9:30 also just expanding away
44:02from this reversal, like you have extra
44:03confirmation, but here's how you
44:05actually position yourself.
44:06You're going to take the opening price
44:08of that candle
44:09to the low
44:11of the candle that you assume to be the
44:13reversal.
44:14And ideally, you want to enter in the
44:16lower half
44:17of this candle's range,
44:19right? Why? Because you don't know where
44:21this candle's going to close,
44:23right? You don't want to be entering
44:24super high in a reversal candle just to
44:26have the next candle, you know, take you
44:28out or whatever. Or just to have, you
44:29know, you think that the this candle's
44:31going to close way up here, but it ends
44:33up closing down here and takes you out.
44:34You know, you want to be positioned as
44:37low in that reversal candle as possible
44:40when it's a bearish candle, and vice
44:41versa. Or your stop loss needs to be
44:43positioned in the lower half, at least,
44:45right?
44:46Um so that's how you want to approach it
44:47there
44:48if you wanted to trade or fade a 4-hour
44:51candle. So yeah, it's going to be 6:00
44:53a.m. drivers SMT. That's how you
44:56position yourself, essentially.
45:00So moving on,
45:02here on the daily chart, what do we
45:03have?
45:04The previous week,
45:06we're just in a gap, really. As you see,
45:08we're just in a gap.
45:09Previous week,
45:12we have this um swing reversal that
45:15forms, right? And we just kind of expand
45:16away from that. And this candle
45:17retraces, and we have an SMT here.
45:21If I go to Ethereum,
45:23I had to throw it I had to throw
45:26uh
45:27crypto in here for you for you weirdos,
45:29for real.
45:30But um here you see that none of these
45:32these days take out the previous
45:34candle's low, obviously. And this candle
45:35does. So when this day expands away,
45:38that confirms the swing point. So now I
45:40can expect Thursday to expand
45:43with that
45:46information.
45:48Right? We also leave these equal highs
45:50to target behind.
45:52And we retrace into this gap, right? So
45:55looking back within the previous
45:57candle's range,
45:58can we continue away from that? Do we
45:59have a key level within it to continue
46:01away from on the 1-hour or 4-hour time
46:03frame? So here you have a 4-hour key
46:05level. The daily opens low into it. We
46:08put in a reversal here. And then we can
46:11expect expansion next candle, right? So
46:13when when I go to the 15-minute time
46:15frame, for example,
46:17right? Whatever you choose to trade,
46:20many of you guys know the GXT alignment
46:23or whatnot. Here's the 15-minute that
46:25works perfect, right? You have that
46:27V-shaped reversal that confirms.
46:30That's what you want to see within a C2
46:32candle. You want to see these these
46:33reversal signatures. You want to see
46:35SMT, etc.
46:37So here you have that V-shaped reversal,
46:38that CSD, and then you're just trading
46:40the continuation order blocks um with,
46:44you know, while aligning expansion,
46:46right? So the daily supports expansion,
46:49the 4-hour supports expansion, the
46:511-hour candle supports expansion, right?
46:53So now you see what you're doing here,
46:55right? You're aligning, you know,
46:57multiple time frame expansion candles
47:00in the same direction.
47:02So now let's move on.
47:05So here we go on silver.
47:07This is a trade that I took on gold,
47:09though, but we're going to go over
47:10silver here. So with this weekly
47:12profile,
47:13as you see,
47:15uh actually I can show you a little bit
47:16better here.
47:18Here's the opening price of that weekly
47:19candle.
47:21So we open high for kind of like open
47:23low, leave equal lows, and then we open
47:25high, leave equal highs. So what is this
47:27consolidation week, right? So when we
47:29manipulate that low, just like that
47:31second example I showed you guys or the
47:33first few example,
47:34where we had that consolidation profile,
47:36we can return back within that range,
47:38right? Especially if the current 4-hour
47:41can't or the the current daily candle
47:44supports
47:45that idea, right?
47:46So here you have SMT with that low, so
47:49that obviously supports that idea for
47:50sure. But here's this day opening low
47:53first. You see that? So this week is
47:55quite large, quite large wick. So what
47:57can we target? Either the daily open or
48:00just above it because we know it's not
48:01going to really expand much past the
48:03opening price. So this fair value gap,
48:05what could this be? External to
48:07internal.
48:08So we have a 1-hour or 4-hour key level
48:11or or or above, right?
48:13Confirming the low of day. So here is a
48:15daily key level, SMT.
48:18What do we have here?
48:19A swing point confirming the low of the
48:22day, but as you see, Asia session hit
48:24this low, but did not reverse. So we
48:26expect London session to put in the
48:28reversal, right? We can trade this
48:30candle, too, as well. Why? Because it
48:32supports expansion. See that small wick?
48:34We can trade that. Or if you want to
48:35add, you know, if you're coming to New
48:36York session, I traded this in New York
48:38session. So I actually traded the 6:00
48:40a.m. candle,
48:41right?
48:42Um higher into this this high, and
48:44obviously 10:00 a.m. I just held it into
48:46this high, right?
48:47So if you go to the 15-minute time
48:48frame, for example,
48:51you can trade that 2:00 a.m. reversal
48:53because we have that 15-minute CSD,
48:55whatever you require, right? Maybe you
48:57require a 30-minute CSD, you know,
48:58whatever you require. So here you have
49:00that V-shaped signature that is a
49:01reverse signature. So you can enter on
49:03the second, you know,
49:05you know, second CSD, whatever fair
49:06value gap, blah blah. It doesn't really
49:08matter what you enter on it. It all
49:09works out because you have you're
49:11aligning expansion candles, right? The
49:13candle profile you're trading supports
49:14expansion. The it makes sense on the
49:16weekly time frame for that, you know,
49:18consolidation profile. This is a
49:20relevant low on the higher time frame.
49:22There's SMT there.
49:23You know, the list goes on, right? It's
49:24very high probable, this trade. You're
49:26also trading back to weekly open, blah
49:28blah blah blah.
49:29So that's an example of a GXT London
49:32reversal.
49:34Now let's get into to next
49:36example here.
49:38So, here
49:39on this higher time frame
49:41or this weekly profile, price just opens
49:43up right into the previous day's low on
49:46Monday. We see we close back within the
49:49previous day's range and we expand you
49:51know, back to the range and this
49:53relevant high.
49:54So, this is where we can definitely
49:55anticipate some sort of reaction,
49:56whether it's reversal or retracement to
49:59trade back within this range.
50:02And at this point, it's kind of a
50:05pretty interesting, right? Because we
50:07have Monday
50:09or um the week basically
50:11supporting expansion, if I show you
50:13here.
50:13Two small wicks here. That supports
50:15expansion. So, if we're going to
50:16continue away from this low,
50:19right? This key level
50:21right above the weekly open should
50:22support price higher, essentially. So,
50:24basically what this is is Monday,
50:26Tuesday expansion, Wednesday
50:28retracement,
50:29and a reversal off of Wednesday's low to
50:32expand again. So, expansion,
50:35retracement, expansion. That's all that
50:36is, right?
50:37So, but this previous day's low is also
50:39a fair value gap. Okay?
50:41So, there's a logic for these two days.
50:43Now, let's go into see what actually
50:44forms the high and low today.
50:48So,
50:48as you see
50:51here, how can we anticipate or how do we
50:54even know that this could be a
50:56retracement lower? It's not just because
50:58we take out external range. That's not
51:00the reason.
51:01The reason is because the candle
51:02profile. You see it opens high first.
51:04That can signify that that this idea can
51:08be valid, right? And then we obviously
51:10print a reversal signature.
51:12Here, because we have that C2 candle at
51:15a relevant time, which is London. So,
51:17this is where we can anticipate 6:00
51:19a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to continue, you
51:21know, to target, you know, EQ of the
51:23range. So, basically it's New York or
51:25London reversal, New York continuation,
51:28right?
51:29And that was the you know, this day
51:31that's what it did. It just rebalanced
51:33EQ,
51:34right?
51:35So, now you're just waiting for the
51:35previous day. What's it going to do? Is
51:37it going to respect this range to
51:39continue lower? Or is it actually going
51:40to reverse off of this low? And it's
51:43just like that logic where I told you
51:45that
51:46um
51:47where I told you guys that Monday can be
51:49one-sided.
51:51This is the same
51:52the same kind of logic where the
51:54previous day
51:56it expanded into a key level.
51:58So, it's like when would we reverse if
52:00the previous day hit a key level, but it
52:02didn't really reverse? We would reverse
52:04early on in the day. Why is that?
52:06And we would ideally reverse early on in
52:08the day from the previous day's low.
52:11Right? Same logic as I told you guys
52:13earlier. It is actually just like this
52:15logic on the higher time frame. If we're
52:16going to reverse off this previous day's
52:18low, we're going to do it early on the
52:20week because we're opening near it. You
52:21know what I'm saying? So, the day is
52:23opening near the key level, which is the
52:25daily
52:26fair value gap or the previous
52:27So, therefore it it would reverse in
52:29Asia or London. That's when it would do,
52:31right? So, when Asia actually expands
52:33away and gives this reversal
52:34characteristic of that V-shape
52:35signature,
52:38right? So, you see the retest of this
52:39low and expand away. Well, then I
52:41mean, that's the low of the day,
52:43probably, right?
52:44And it's that same logic here.
52:46You know it's our fractalizing things,
52:48right? What do we have here? A C2
52:49closure
52:50above the daily open.
52:52Right? So, this is going to be low of
52:53day.
52:54Then, you know, this gap that forms, you
52:56know, above the daily open should
52:58support price higher, right? So, when it
53:00does,
53:01this C2 candle, right? This is the Asia
53:03reversal.
53:04And this can form the you know, you
53:07know, a a little like um reaccumulation
53:10to continue from, right? Basically. This
53:12is like a New York continuation away
53:14from the swing point, essentially,
53:16right?
53:17Um so, hopefully that kind of made sense
53:18there.
53:19Um we're also within that new week
53:22opening gap. So, if I show you here,
53:29right? So, that's added confluence,
53:30really.
53:31But yeah, that's just a Asia reversal
53:33example I wanted to show you guys.
53:36So, now let's get into a 10:00 a.m.
53:38reversal
53:40profile. So, again, Monday being
53:42one-sided again. Why?
53:44This is actually back-to-back Mondays
53:46being one-sided. I'm telling you Mondays
53:47are very one-sided, honestly. So, here's
53:49the previous week expanding into a low.
53:52So, what does it make sense
53:54for Monday to trade back into the range?
53:56Because this week actually continued
53:58from the previous range. So, here's the
54:00previous week's range. It continued from
54:01it. But if even if we're going to
54:03continue, early on the week we're going
54:04to open high first.
54:06You know what I'm saying?
54:07And if we're going you know, this Monday
54:09here, same Like if we're going to
54:11reverse, we would reverse early on the
54:13week.
54:14So, even this day right here, it's like
54:16it's even if we're going to continue
54:18like lower,
54:19either way, it's like we're going higher
54:21first. Like that's ideally what's going
54:22to happen majority of the time. So, you
54:24can trade Mondays. It's actually
54:25You can't trade Mondays.
54:27Um but anyways,
54:29Tuesday, we create SMT with Monday's
54:31high here.
54:32So, you can trade, you know, it's also a
54:35uh SMT fill. SMT fill is simply
54:38um
54:39basically just gap SMT, right? Where one
54:41asset trades into a gap, but the one
54:42doesn't. That's simply what it is.
54:44Pretty simple.
54:46But what how can we anticipate this
54:47being a reversal day?
54:49Is the candle profile.
54:51So,
54:52what does the day do? It opens high
54:53first. This is also a good example of a
54:5610:00 a.m.
54:58reversal that is actually um
55:02like tradeable, really, because here
55:04you're seeing
55:069:30
55:08is making its way towards the draw on
55:09liquidity. And that's fine, right?
55:11Doesn't mean that it didn't reverse or
55:12anything like that. It just it didn't
55:14hit the key level yet. It's just trading
55:15towards it, right? This is when 10:00
55:17a.m. trades and hits the key level,
55:18right?
55:19Um
55:21which is absolutely fine. So,
55:23here you see the high of this 10:00 a.m.
55:24candle is formed from what? A
55:271-hour swing formation or 30-minute
55:29swing formation, whatever you want to
55:30use. Does it support expansion? Yes. So,
55:3310:00 a.m. hit the key level,
55:34right?
55:35Created the SMT. Does it support
55:37expansion? Yes. So, then you can trade
55:40into these lows, right? See the daily
55:41open high first. Look at all these
55:43failed swings here.
55:45Right? What do you have here? A gap from
55:47the previous day's range. So, really
55:49this can be order pairing ranges,
55:51however you view it, because
55:53this is an external each high. These are
55:54a bunch of external ranges lows.
55:56Also a fair value gap below those lows.
55:58So, whatever you view it, right? Simply
56:00just a
56:01a 1-hour or above key level, right?
56:04You have SMT there. We have the profile
56:05supporting it.
56:07And we're aligning expansion candles
56:08away from it.
56:09So, moving on.
56:12Now, I got one forex I got uh I think
56:14two forex examples here.
56:17So,
56:18with this previous week here,
56:20trading into this gap, we can expect
56:22this next week to do trade into these
56:24lows. If you fail to manipulate these
56:25lows, where can you head to? This low.
56:28Simply, right?
56:29So,
56:30at this point,
56:31Monday,
56:33if you know, if we're going to open up
56:34the week here and we're this close to
56:35low, I mean, Monday can expand. Like
56:37this is when Mondays can expand, etc.
56:39Like Mondays are very tradeable, I said.
56:41Um
56:42so, Monday's opening very close to these
56:43lows, so makes no sense to trade higher.
56:46Like this is when Monday can definitely
56:48expand, right?
56:49So, that's what it does.
56:50And Tuesday closes, right? This is a
56:53failed to manipulate this low.
56:54Obviously, this is not manipulation at
56:56this point. We're trading way beyond it.
56:58So,
56:59if this is going to be high of the week,
57:00Monday,
57:01this gap needs to hold, right? So, when
57:04this Wednesday candle
57:06has an SMT between Tuesday and
57:07Wednesday's high and gap SMT as well,
57:10right? That is confirming that we can
57:12continue, right? Does the daily candle
57:14support s- expansion? Yes.
57:17Now, we're going to confirm the high of
57:19the day
57:21from a 4-hour swing point. In this case,
57:23you're trading a candle two reversal to
57:25expansion.
57:26Why?
57:27Because within that gap,
57:29we have this basically this 4-hour swing
57:32formation.
57:35This 4-hour swing formation that we are
57:37manipulating. And does it support
57:39expansion? The answer is yes. The candle
57:41does support expansion. So, this is a
57:44basically a um London reversal. Or what
57:47time is this right now?
57:48It's kind of like New York session. It's
57:49around 7:00, so it's kind of like a New
57:51York reversal, actually.
57:53And what do we have here, guys?
57:5515-minute CSD. We have that V-shape
57:56signature.
57:58Um you know, here's another opportunity
58:00here, right? So,
58:02that's an example of that 5:00 a.m.
58:05reversal into expansion, basically,
58:07right?
58:08So, in this case,
58:09we're going to trade continuation. So,
58:11now we're going to mark out EQ
58:13of this candle's range. So, here's the
58:15high.
58:16Here's the low.
58:17Looking for a key level within the lower
58:20half of the previous candle's range,
58:21okay?
58:22Simply. So, when I go to the 4-hour time
58:24frame, okay, cool. I see a fair value
58:26gap. So, price should form the high of
58:28day from this level, ideally, right? So,
58:30when the daily candle opens high first,
58:32that already supports a bearish move.
58:35So,
58:36as you see, this candle here did not
58:37reverse its Asia session as well.
58:40Um
58:41and London session reverses. And we can
58:43trade London session. Why? Because it
58:46supports expansion, right? Has that
58:47small wick. So, we can reverse and
58:48expand.
58:50Right? We can also trade the 5:00 a.m.
58:52candle because the previous candle
58:53reversed. We have open objectives here.
58:55And obviously, our higher time frame
58:57draw on liquidity that could could have
58:59potentially got hit the same day, right?
59:02So, here
59:03you're seeing that we have that
59:0415-minute CSD. We have a fair value gap
59:06that you can maybe enter off of, right?
59:07Whatever you like to use. Here's the
59:09open price of that 4-hour candle.
59:12It's right here.
59:13You see it opens high first. Expands
59:15lower.
59:17At this point, it's like if this is
59:18going to be high of the 4-hour candle,
59:20this gap has to hold, right? So, that
59:22can be an entry as the 4-hour candle
59:23already supports expansion. It's already
59:25starting to trade away from the high,
59:27eliminating the possibility
59:29to become a bullish expansion candle,
59:31right?
59:32And that's something that we will talk
59:33about later on in another video about
59:36profiling in general, right? You can
59:38profile any candle.
59:40Um and you kind of see a little bit of
59:43You kind of see that a little bit um in
59:44the example I've shown you guys. You can
59:46figure it out. I've already shown a
59:48couple examples of it, couple different
59:50ways, so.
59:51Here, as you see the the 4-hour candle
59:54is opening up within a key you know, a
59:57level that we want to hold, right? We
59:58can do that same logic, really.
1:00:00I can look
1:00:02back within this previous candle's
1:00:03range. I want this candle's high to be
1:00:06formed in the lower half to support
1:00:07expansion. I don't want it to be up here
1:00:09cuz that wick could be very large,
1:00:10right?
1:00:11So, as you see this candle
1:00:13right here is actually opening up within
1:00:15a fair value gap,
1:00:17right? Or this opposing candle. So, it's
1:00:19like it can just rip lower. It doesn't
1:00:21have to create this large wick or
1:00:22anything with it, right? You can
1:00:24anticipate it being a small wick because
1:00:26you would anticipate this to hold
1:00:27ideally, right? Because we're so close
1:00:29to these lows, there's no point to go
1:00:30higher at that point, right?
1:00:32So, in this case, expands lower.
1:00:34You get a continuation, you know, blah
1:00:37blah blah. This is just um clean
1:00:39examples, right? Of just aligning time
1:00:41frames, right?
1:00:43So, both days does the daily support
1:00:45expansion? Yes. Yes. Does the weekly
1:00:47support expansion? Yes. So, that's an
1:00:49added confluence as well.
1:00:514-hour supports expansion here. 4-hour
1:00:53supports expansion, 4-hour support
1:00:55supports expansion, 4-hour support
1:00:56expansion, right? Simple as that, right?
1:00:59Now, let's move on
1:01:01into our last example, guys.
1:01:04So, here's an example that I also took.
1:01:08Go ahead and move this here.
1:01:11So, here's another day that we can
1:01:12anticipate and trade on Monday. Why?
1:01:14Because
1:01:15what is what did the previous week do
1:01:17essentially? It expanded. So, here's the
1:01:19low of the week, expanded into external
1:01:21range high.
1:01:22And we retraced back within the same
1:01:25week. So, basically the previous week
1:01:28retraced into EQ range. So, if the
1:01:31previous week retraced and actually put
1:01:33in a reversal,
1:01:34we have an SMT here
1:01:36and a C2 closure,
1:01:39then what can the previous week do? What
1:01:40can the next week do? It can expand. And
1:01:42when would we expand if the you know,
1:01:45Friday manipulated? We would expand
1:01:46early on the week, so Monday.
1:01:48So, that's what we do here, right? Does
1:01:50it support expansion? Yes.
1:01:52Do both of these days support expansion?
1:01:53Yes. For this day, since you have a
1:01:55strong close here
1:01:57on a Monday,
1:02:00we have this
1:02:02CSD here and this two-stage SMT,
1:02:05I can expect this next to expand, right?
1:02:07Ideally.
1:02:08So, what do I want to
1:02:11you know, this day to support ideally
1:02:13the previous candle's range and we can
1:02:14look for a key level, you know, within
1:02:16this here.
1:02:18So, going to lower time frame,
1:02:20does the candle profile support
1:02:22expansion? Right, the wick size do. We
1:02:24already checked that out. But does the
1:02:26way the candle act it the way it's
1:02:28forming does it support expansion? Yes,
1:02:30right? Cuz they're opening low first,
1:02:32right? There's candle profile are the
1:02:34two there's two components. It's the
1:02:37wick size does it support expansion?
1:02:39It's also the way it forms.
1:02:40So, a bullish
1:02:42expansion candle opens low first. That's
1:02:44what we have here. London reversal
1:02:46because we have that C2 candle.
1:02:48You see New York both New York sessions
1:02:506:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. continue,
1:02:52right? Do they support expansion? Yes.
1:02:53Small wick? Yes, small wick.
1:02:55So, you're aligning expansion candles
1:02:57there. What about over here?
1:03:00Opens low first. Do we have a key level
1:03:01on the 4-hour time frame? No. Do we have
1:03:03a key level over here? Not really.
1:03:05What about 1-hour time frame?
1:03:09All right, we have a gap here. Sure,
1:03:11right? We have a gap here.
1:03:12We also have the driver's expanding
1:03:13away. I actually traded both of these
1:03:14days as well.
1:03:16I only traded this 9:00 a.m. candle, so
1:03:18you're seeing that the driver is
1:03:20expanding away because a low of day is
1:03:21put in, right? So, driver should do
1:03:23what? Expand into these lower resistance
1:03:25highs.
1:03:27Also traded this day around the driver
1:03:28as well.
1:03:30Um and you're also seeing that, you
1:03:32know, we can't look back within the
1:03:33previous day over here or sorry, we can
1:03:35over here,
1:03:37but not really over here. There's no
1:03:38There's no key level to the left, so
1:03:40that just means that the previous
1:03:42sessions have to create some sort of key
1:03:44level to trade away from, which would be
1:03:45this swing low on the hourly time frame.
1:03:47So, again, hourly or above. So, here's
1:03:49an hourly swing point we manipulate.
1:03:52And when you know, London actually
1:03:53trades away from it, that just confirms
1:03:55a low of day. So, then we're just
1:03:57trading
1:03:584-hour expansion candles away from low
1:04:00of day. So, that supports expansion.
1:04:03That supports expansion.
1:04:05The daily candle supports expansion,
1:04:07right? Simply.
1:04:08Um
1:04:09also traded this as well.
1:04:12So, why did I trade this?
1:04:14Well, a little bit of asset
1:04:15synchronization.
1:04:17You're seeing that this asset failed to
1:04:18manipulate this high.
1:04:20So, when that happens, you see my SMT
1:04:22video, we know that
1:04:24um
1:04:25you expect assets to catch up. So, this
1:04:27is when
1:04:28the middle asset catches up.
1:04:31When it catches up, this is when we
1:04:34basically um reverse. I posted on
1:04:36Twitter.
1:04:38And you're going to see that the other
1:04:40triad
1:04:41creates an SMT here,
1:04:43right? So, basically it's like when SMT
1:04:45breaks.
1:04:48I'm going I'm making this video so long,
1:04:49but
1:04:50so, when one asset fails to manipulate
1:04:52it, the middle asset then catches up to
1:04:56break that SMT. So, as soon as it
1:04:57catches up to break that SMT,
1:04:59you're seeing that the other asset is
1:05:01creating an SMT here. And this is a
1:05:04reversal signature,
1:05:05reversal sequence between triads, right?
1:05:07There's a couple There's a lot of
1:05:08different sequences between triads.
1:05:11Really one of the most powerful things
1:05:13when looking at triads and understanding
1:05:15market direction, but how can we even
1:05:17trust that?
1:05:18Well, it's the it's the profile, right?
1:05:21So, if I show you the profile here,
1:05:24what formed the high of the day?
1:05:26London, you know, C2 closure, but also
1:05:30how does the candle actually form?
1:05:33It has that
1:05:35that um
1:05:36signature where it opens high first,
1:05:38right? It's a very large wick.
1:05:41As you see,
1:05:42pretty large wick.
1:05:46So, what would this also be, guys?
1:05:48External
1:05:49to internal.
1:05:51So, we can trade this candle, but
1:05:53understand that it's not going to expand
1:05:55much beyond either the daily open or the
1:06:00the objective that's in close proximity
1:06:01to daily open, so like this swing low.
1:06:03It's not going to expand past it. It's
1:06:05going to have a very hard time to do it.
1:06:07As you see, this probably Yeah, it just
1:06:08consolidated, right?
1:06:09So, anyways, guys, going to leave you
1:06:11all with that.
1:06:12My next video
1:06:14will be on precision swing points.
1:06:17And then I can probably do GXT part two
1:06:20because this is kind of just scratching
1:06:22the surface, but you can do a lot with
1:06:24this video.
1:06:25I know this will help a lot of you guys,
1:06:27so let me let me know what you guys want
1:06:29to see in the future. Let me know if you
1:06:31enjoyed this.
1:06:33Um
1:06:34and yeah, leave a like, subscribe.
1:06:37Um
1:06:39and yeah, thanks for being patient,
1:06:40guys. I try to do these when I can,
1:06:43but show love and it'll it'll definitely
1:06:47encourage me to do more of these, guys.
1:06:49But uh yeah, I'll catch y'all later,
1:06:50man, and y'all have a good one and good
1:06:52luck trading.
