0:05Yo, what up guys? Froses here. In
0:07today's video, I'm going to talk about
0:09how to find entries. After this video,
0:11you will exactly know when and how to
0:14find entries yourself. The topics I'm
0:17going to talk about are key levels,
0:20alignment, the fractals, the entries,
0:23how to make this mechanical and examples
0:26at the end.
0:29The key levels I'm using are old highs
0:32and lows where we can frame reverse or
0:34continuation from but like today also
0:36for the entries same for gaps. This is
0:39for the higher time frame but for the
0:41lower time frame for the entry as well
0:43today. Previous candles highs and lows
0:46to frame daily continuation candles or
0:49four hhour continuation and reversal
0:51candles and dcisd.
0:54This is very important to have some
0:55basic knowledge about this to actually
0:58frame the entry. Here we have a series
1:01of down close candles where we close
1:04above. So this is a bullish CISD.
1:09So this is the alignment to find
1:12entries. We wan to be in higher time
1:14frame expansion candles to find the
1:16lower time frame entries. I talked about
1:18this in my last video as well, but I
1:21will go over this once more. So for the
1:24daily, we wan to be in an expansion
1:26candle and this means we want to see a
1:28small opposing run on the downside to
1:31actually make an expansion higher. And
1:33this is actually the same for the 4 hour
1:36and the same for the 1 hour or 30
1:38minutes. And same for shorts, we wann to
1:41be a in a expansion candle to the
1:43downside we wanna see a small top wick
1:46on the daily on the 4 hour and on the
1:48one hour or 30 minute to actually allow
1:50for the expansion and to find the entry
1:53on the lower time frame.
1:57So to actually trade the fractals, we
1:58wan to be in a daily or four hour higher
2:01time frame expansion candle with a small
2:03wick on the bottom. Then we can trade
2:06the reverse on the one hour or 30 minute
2:08inside the wick on the 4 hour around the
2:11open or around anywhere in the bottom
2:14part of this expansion candle. There we
2:16can trade this C2 or C3 candle. But if
2:19we miss this piece of price action it
2:21can easily expand and print AC4, C5, C6.
2:25Then just wait for a new continuation
2:28like this. Here we have the reversal
2:30just like here. But we can see it prints
2:32a new continuation signature. We have a
2:35gap here too. It's not necessary, but
2:38it's clean if it's present. But we wait
2:40for a new C2 C3 formation to trade the
2:43next expansion. Since after the first
2:45expansion, we can get some new phase of
2:48price, consolidation, retracement, then
2:50we can easily frame a continuation if we
2:53look for a new fractal. The same for
2:56shorts, small top wicks like we have
2:59here on the daily and 4 hour for the
3:00higher time frame. Then we can look for
3:02the reversal inside the 4-hour wick
3:05around the open or in the top part of
3:07this 4-hour candle. And if we miss this
3:09move, just wait for a new fractal since
3:12price is expanding here. Wait for a new
3:14fractal to align yourself to have a
3:16clear invalidation and trade the next
3:18expansion lower.
3:22So these are the entry signatures I'm
3:24using. When everything is aligned from
3:26the daily to the 4 hour to the 1 hour
3:28and 30 minut I can trade one of these
3:31entry signatures inside the one hour or
3:3330 minut C2 or C3 candles where the
3:37first signature is a stop run above the
3:39swing high. We form a protected swing
3:42high here since we cd away from this
3:45swing. This is a protected swing to
3:47place your stop loss. And then we can
3:50short if we form this CISD here. Same
3:53for longs we take this swing low. We
3:54form a protected swing low since we are
3:57cisding and displacing away from the
4:00swing with this confirmation here. This
4:03is our entry where we place our stop
4:05loss here. Same for the entry signature
4:08two, we have the SMT into a CISD where
4:12we can see a lower high when one of the
4:15other assets inside the tri is making a
4:17higher high. For example like entry
4:19signature one
4:21of the older assets is making a lower
4:23high where is weaker and we qualify this
4:26SMT if the others are expanding away
4:29from that SMT and forming a potential
4:31CISD as well.
4:34for longs we have a fill swing on the
4:36lows where the other asset is taking its
4:39low inside the tri but this asset is not
4:42taking the low we havet if the other
4:45assets are expanding away from it
4:47forming this cisd
4:50or the entry signature tree where we
4:51have a fg printed and we form a upclose
4:55scandle trading into that fg and then we
4:57trade through that upclose scandle and
5:00closing below or above to form a
5:03continuation
5:10minut
5:14in align hour minut
5:19how do we make as mechanical
5:24starting on the higher time frame we wan
5:26to be in a expansion candle right so it
5:29doesn't really matter if we are in a c2
5:31here then a3 and then AC2 once again we
5:35just need to be in alignment for
5:37expansion on all those time frames where
5:40we confirm the C2 candles for longs and
5:43shorts with a one stage crack a two
5:45stage crack or a PSP like I outlined in
5:48my previous videos and from there we can
5:51trade a C2 or a C3 candle only 1 hour
5:55and 30 minute we can look for this entry
5:57signature where we have a stop run below
6:00this old low we form a protected swing
6:05series of down
6:08entry can be here and place stop losow
6:11low same for this scenario we have a smt
6:16into a cd we have a series of downclose
6:19candles we close above we can long here
6:22and replace our stop loss down below
6:24this formation
6:27same for this entry scenario
6:30we have a cd we close above. So this
6:33should be your protected low where you
6:35can place your stop loss or you wan to
6:37be more secured and place your stop loss
6:40below the FVG. Same for shorts, we want
6:43to be in alignment on every time frame
6:45and from there we can look inside the C2
6:48or C3 only 1 hour and 30 minutes for one
6:50of these signatures where this should be
6:52your stop loss. This should be your
6:55entry. This should be your stop loss
6:57here and this should be your entry
6:59around that area. If we close below, if
7:02we close below here and same for this
7:04scenario, you can place your stop loss
7:06here or a little bit higher here. And
7:09around this area after we close below
7:12that should be your entry.
7:16Now I will go over a few examples where
7:18I apply all the concepts I talk about in
7:22my last videos. Starting here on oil,
7:25what can we see?
7:26We can see we have a big here and we can
7:30see we are forming some sort of reversal
7:32down here. So this can be our C
7:37two candle C3 C4 C5 what do we have
7:41here? We have an SMT here on these lows.
7:44So technically this should be AC2 once
7:47again since this candle is taking out is
7:51low here on another asset. So this is a
7:53SMT where this can be C2 and then C3
7:56once again I can show you we can see HO
8:00is taking out this low here when RB NCL
8:05did not here so we have an SMT so we can
8:08trade the next expansion here for the
8:10daily. Looking on the 4 hour
8:13let me remove all this. So we have the
8:16SMT here. We can look for on this day we
8:20can look for a swing formation right on
8:22the 4 hour since we are profiling the
8:24four-hour candles. So we can look for
8:27this 2 a.m. but as you all know I'm not
8:29trading the 2 am. I'm trading the 6 am.
8:3310 a.m. candles. So I will start to look
8:35for
8:37trades inside the 6m candle here. But
8:39this is very important since we already
8:41took these highs. But what do we wan to
8:42see here? We wan to do we wan to see
8:44price not reverse but forming some sort
8:47of continuation signature. So we can
8:49profile this as a C2 reversal and then
8:536cm can be still a continuation to this
8:55high. For example
8:57if we are not reversing here then we can
8:59trade this C3 continuation. So from
9:02there we can look on the 30 minute in
9:04this example since I traded die 30 minut
9:07here
9:09can see we form the reversal signature
9:12down here
9:14like I explained in my slides we form
9:17reversal as C2 C3 C4 C5 C6
9:23all the way almost to the high what can
9:25we trade from here we can look for a new
9:28continuation signature where we have die
9:30new
9:32C2 formation here where can see C2 is
9:35printing closing inside C1 and we do not
9:38invalidate this move same for this one
9:42C1 this is C2 taking the low and trading
9:46higher not invalidating this one same
9:49for this one same for this one until we
9:53hit the next draw on the daily here
9:57so if we miss this piece of move we can
9:59look for die new candles om die 4 hour
10:02die is 6 am in this example I will
10:04outline that here 6 am
10:07and from there we can look for new C2 C3
10:10formations for entry and if I'm going to
10:13the 3 minut in this example
10:16you can clearly see every time we are
10:19taking a C1 low or a previous 30 minut
10:23can low in this case you can see we form
10:26some sort of entry signature here we are
10:29taking is low we form this CISD not
10:32invalidating this one here we are taking
10:34this low previous 30 minut low we form
10:37the CISD here
10:42so here we do not retest so we can
10:44decide am I leaving a lot of RR on the
10:46table
10:49or not so you can trade put your stop
10:51here like I explained and you target for
10:54example 3R so that can be the first
10:56trade if you miss this piece of price
10:58action You do not try the formal rush
11:02inside this move here since oh it's
11:04expanding I need to catch this. You wait
11:06for a new fractal. You wait for a new
11:09previous 30 minut can lope to be taken
11:12like we see here we have the new entry
11:14signature stop run into a CISD here.
11:18This is not closing above yet as you can
11:20see. So we see this candle closing above
11:24and it's retesting. So you can once
11:26again you can enter when we close above
11:28like this. Or you can put a limit here
11:30for the retest. Put your stop loss on
11:32the low and you can easily squeeze out
11:353R once again. If you miss this move,
11:39same scenario.
11:41Wait for a new 30 minut candle. As you
11:44can see, new 30 minut candles here and
11:47here.
11:49So what do we have here? Again, die stop
11:51run into a CISD. You can mark enter here
11:54but if it's too big you can easily wait
11:56for the retest especially if there is a
11:59gap alongside the CRD like this. You can
12:02put your stop loss here but this is a
12:04crazy wick. So you can put it in the
12:06middle for example and then you can
12:09still target like 2 R to the high and
12:13basically same if you miss this move you
12:15can still look for a trade here.
12:18So this is a way smaller wick than this
12:20one. So we have a wick here into a CISD
12:23here
12:26like this. You can trade it like this
12:28for example for 2 hours.
12:37inside move inside this move a new
12:40fractal this is first example now I will
12:42go over to the second example this one
12:45is on ym
12:48so what can we see here this is the
12:49reversal candle c2 c3 c4 c but what do
12:54we have here we have an once again on
12:56the previous day high we can see ym not
12:59taking out previous day high and Q is
13:02taking previous day high. So we have an
13:03SMT and technically this is a reversal
13:06C2 candle. So we can target previous day
13:09low. So we have the bias on the daily we
13:11can look on the 4 hour to actually trade
13:14the move.
13:16So we have the SMT here.
13:19What is this one? This is a C2 reversal
13:22interpansion. So C2 candles. How do we
13:24confirm that with SMT? We have SMT. Is
13:27an expanding away from the SMT?
13:31Yes, it does. It's expanding lower here.
13:34Actually very good. We have the SMT on
13:38hour. We profile this C2 candle to trade
13:43load we can go to hour minut
13:51on stream.
13:54So what do we have here?
13:56We still have of course the higher time
13:58frame SMT but we still have this 10 am
14:02C2 reversal intert
14:08and we actually formed a PSP here as
14:10well. We can see the 930 is bullish on
14:13YM and the 930 bearish on ES and NQ. So
14:16we have a PSP where Q and ES are
14:20flipping weaker but we can still trade
14:22this lagging asset here to the downside.
14:26So what did I do here? I waited for this
14:27to form. I was looking for trace inside
14:30the 10 amm. 30 minute and die 10:30 30
14:32minute candum. I was looking on the 3
14:35minute here. What do I look for? Entry
14:38signature stop run into CISD or an SMT
14:42into CISD. And we form this on the
14:44stream. We form this SMT here on those 3
14:47minut highs. We closed below this OB
14:51here very fast like this. So we have the
14:54entry signature and how do we trade
14:56this? We can wait for the retest or we
14:58just mark it when it closed. Put our
15:01stop here on the SMT formation and we
15:03target for example this low or all the
15:06way to the low resistance low here. I
15:09actually did a 2R trade where my entry
15:12was a little bit higher here on the
15:13retest. stop on the high and the
15:16targeted 2R
15:18to this low since I already took a win
15:20that day pri to the stream so I just
15:22took this for two but you could have
15:24easily squeezed out like four or five on
15:27this wall move here catching the
15:29reversal here so this is the second
15:31example to find an entry here we used in
15:35this case the smt into a cisd
15:38to trade the reversal here second
15:41example on ymm once
15:44is basically the same. What can we see
15:47here? We can see price reversing here.
15:51This is a C2 candle, C3, C4, C5, C6. Hm.
15:57What do we wait for? For a new fractal
15:59on the daily as well. So we have the SMT
16:01here. As you can see, SMT when
16:06Q is making a lower low here. So we have
16:09the SMT. And how do we approach this?
16:12Since initially we can see
16:16YM is
16:18weaker here. So this is a strength
16:21switch on the daily is lower low low
16:24here. So it's weaker and then higher low
16:26here it's becoming stronger. So what do
16:28we look for inside this candle for
16:30expansion?
16:32So what do we look for on the four-hour
16:35time frame? We wanna profile the scan
16:37one scan. We can already see this gap
16:40here 4 hour for a internal to external
16:43move like I explained in the 4hour
16:45profiling video. We can look for a C2
16:48reversal into expansion right internal
16:52internal to external move. And what do
16:54we have here as well? We can see 6 AM is
16:57taking the 2 am. Low
17:00and on ES
17:02the 2 AM. Low is still intact. SMT
17:06and on NQ
17:08I think there was SMT as well. Yeah,
17:09there's SMT as well here on the lows. So
17:12we have SMT here on the low. So that's
17:14how we trade DC2 candles, right? SMT in
17:17this candle. So I'm looking for the 30
17:21minute here
17:23to make display.
17:26And of course this is a C2 candle on the
17:3030 minute as well. So we have the 4
17:32hours C2, the 30 minut C2 both confirmed
17:35with SMT and trading away from the SMT
17:38just like the other assets are doing
17:39expanding away from the SMT formation
17:42here expanding away that's how we make
17:45this a valid qualification for the SMT
17:49so from there we can look for an entry
17:50so what are we looking for example this
17:53one we have the stop run into a CISD
17:59very easy to spot like CD Iedest
18:05is very big since then you would have
18:09leaving you would leave so much RR on
18:11the table. So I longed the retest and I
18:15put my stop loss just below this OB in
18:18this case since we have a very big wig
18:20we should not trade all the way inside
18:22this wick once again once we do
18:25something like this and I targeted for
18:273R
18:29just pass the high like this stop was a
18:32little bit higher I target it like this
18:37so once again from the daily we frame a
18:39continuation candle based on the
18:40strength switch SMT
18:42Then we look for a2 on 4 hour or C3 in
18:45this case C2 30 minut C2 both confirmed
18:49with DSMT here as it's expanding away
18:51and we look for an entry signature and
18:53it was the stop run into a CISD
18:57so now I will go over the last example
19:01where we have a daily C2 here
19:04how do we confirm the C2 with an SMT we
19:07can see why I'm making a higher low here
19:09like
19:11S is expanding away.
19:18ST from there I'm going to die
19:22hour to profile the 4hour candles. So we
19:24have a range play like I explained in
19:26the 4-hour profiling video. We have the
19:29range play
19:31range low to range high. This is the C2
19:33reversal candle qualified by this SMT
19:37and reversing from the relevant low. So
19:39you can trade this. In this case I'm
19:42waiting for the next candle since there
19:45was no entry inside this one as well.
19:47This is die 10 candle. So we have the
19:49daily C2 for our C3. Both confirmed with
19:54the SMT here. So I can look for the
19:58one hour in this case I use the one
20:00hour. We still have the SMT here.
20:04This is the C2 on the one hour. And I
20:07can trade the 10 amm continuation. And
20:10y'all can see when I trade these
20:12continuations every time this 10 a
20:14candle has a small wick on 4 hour only
20:17one hour small wicks and on the daily as
20:19well small wig. It's all supporting
20:21higher prices. So once we form this C2
20:25on the one hour and I can look for the
20:28next C3 candle to trade longs. So what
20:32did I look for?
20:36I look for one of the entry signatures
20:38and first I was looking for this
20:40signature here. We have the stop run
20:43into a CISD like this. I actually play
20:47the
20:49ver gap like this. This is a big gap
20:52into a CISD. I longed around here I
20:56think or a little bit higher since we
20:58did get another opportunity. No, it was
21:01actually this one on a 5 minute. We have
21:04a 5 minut gap into the CISD. I longed
21:08once we closed
21:11above and we retested my stop loss a
21:13little bit below here like I explained
21:17like this little bit in the gap and I
21:21targeted
21:22I think 2 R strict or 3 R doesn't really
21:25matter both would have been hit.
21:29So this is easily alignment for
21:32the daily to 4 hour to the one hour to
21:34one of the entry signatures where the
21:37entry signatures are very easy to spot
21:39if you just have the template. So this
21:41was the video about the entry today. I
21:44hope you all liked it how I did my
21:46topdown analysis from daily to 4 hour to
21:49one hour or 30 minut to the entries.

21:54already working on the next video and I
21:56see you all later.
