0:00One of the biggest reasons traders
0:02hesitate is because they do not have a
0:04clear entry model. They see a setup
0:08forming, but they're still
0:09second-guessing themselves. They're
0:11still doubting themselves. They're still
0:13hesitating, not sure whether they should
0:15actually enter for the trade or not. Was
0:17that the liquidity sweep? Was that the
0:19market shift? Is this actually the real
0:22entry or am I too early or am I too
0:24late? And that is exactly what this
0:27lesson is going to solve. Right, so
0:29welcome to this lesson of the Market
0:31Mechanics Mentorship series. So far, we
0:33have talked about order flow, liquidity
0:36concepts, supply and demand zones, all
0:38of these good old Market Mechanics
0:39concepts. But at the end of the day,
0:42understanding the concepts is not
0:43enough. You still need to know how to
0:46actually enter for the trade. With
0:49confidence. With conviction.
0:52So in this lesson, I'm going to break
0:54down two of my main entry models, which
0:57is the market shift entry model and the
1:00flip zone entry model. Because the goal
1:03is not to understand the market
1:05intellectually. The goal is to know what
1:08you are waiting for when it is finally
1:10time to execute.
1:12At the end of the day, it's not about
1:14just understanding the theory. It's
1:16about having a repeatable model for
1:19execution.
1:20Having something that you can look out
1:23for every single time before you enter
1:25for the trade so that you can get
1:26consistent results.
1:28Now, before I break down these different
1:31entry models for you guys to see, you
1:33must understand that these entry models,
1:35they are not just random chart patterns
1:38that you have to memorize on the chart.
1:40These entry models only make sense when
1:42they appear in the right context.
1:46This means that you need to pair them
1:47with the right higher time frame bias.
1:50And they need to be located at the right
1:52point of interest.
1:54And it needs to happen at the right
1:56session with the right liquidity
1:58conditions and the right story behind
2:00the setup.
2:02The model itself is just the entry
2:04trigger. It's just the entry
2:06confirmation. It's just the pattern that
2:09you are looking out for before you enter
2:11for the trade. But it is not the reason
2:13for the trade.
2:15So, you still need to make sure that you
2:16build a higher time frame bias, you
2:18develop a daily bias, you determine
2:20who's in control of price, and then once
2:24price get to your point of interest,
2:26then you look for this confirmation
2:27itself.
2:29All right. So, yeah, once again, this is
2:30the set of time frames that you should
2:32be following based on your trading
2:34style. If you're swing trader, this is
2:36the time frame you're going to be
2:36following. Day trader, scalper. All
2:39right. So, pick the trading style that
2:41you are specializing in and focus on
2:43that set of time frames.
2:45So, in this example right here, on the
2:47left-hand side, what we have is the
2:48higher time frame or the medium time
2:49frame.
2:50What we want to see on those time frame
2:53itself. And then on the right-hand side,
2:55this is the patterns that we want to see
2:57happen on the lower time frame.
2:59So, once again, these are the
3:01confirmation, these are the confluences
3:04that we need
3:06before we press the buy and sell button.
3:08All right. So, all this is is just the
3:10confirmation, which means that we need
3:12to see this happen first, then we can go
3:14down to lower time frame to look for
3:15this.
3:17Now, what is an entry model, right?
3:19Like, what's the definition of an entry
3:21model?
3:22An entry model is a repeatable sequence
3:25of price action you wait for before
3:28entering for a trade.
3:30So, it should help you answer what needs
3:32to happen first, what confirms the
3:34setup, where the entry comes in, and
3:37where the invalidation is. Which means
3:40if this happens, then this trade idea is
3:42no longer valid.
3:46So, in this case itself,
3:48what we have on
3:50right here, right? These are the two
3:52sort of like patterns that ideally you
3:54want to look out for. All right, so
3:56let's start with the first one, right,
3:58which is the flip entry model.
4:00So, but before I dive into the entry
4:02model itself, let me just explain what
4:04we have over here.
4:06So, over here price went up, pulls back,
4:08goes up, pulls back, and then goes up
4:10and breaks structure. So, when this
4:12happened, we know that the buyers are in
4:14control of price, and then this is where
4:15we can map this as a swing low and a
4:17swing high, right? So, this is the swing
4:19range in which we want to be focusing
4:20on.
4:21And in a up uptrend just like this, we
4:24want to trade with the trend, which
4:25means that we want to look for longs.
4:26And ideally we want to look for longs at
4:28some form of demand zone, right? At some
4:30form of demand zone where we have a new
4:32higher low to be formed, and we want to
4:34capture that higher low, and then we
4:35want to trade the continuation to the
4:37upside just like this.
4:39So, this is what we are trying to see.
4:42Okay, so this is our trade bias. Our
4:44trade bias is telling us that, all
4:46right, we got price bullish right now. I
4:48want to look for longs, but I only want
4:49to look for longs once price comes down
4:51to this demand zone that led to this
4:53break of structure right here.
4:56And ideally I also want to see some form
4:58of liquidity sweep, right? Because like
5:00I said, the market needs the fuel in
5:02order for it to drive price up
5:03significantly.
5:05So, we need that liquidity.
5:07So, once again, if you look at the
5:08left-hand side right here, price went
5:10up, pulls back, and then goes up, right?
5:12So, it created like this minor internal
5:14higher low right here, and below every
5:17swing low there is going to be
5:19liquidity. There is going to be
5:20available liquidity. So, ideally we want
5:23to see price comes down, mitigate this
5:25demand zone, sweep that liquidity,
5:27create a V-shape reaction, and then at
5:30this point in time, right, the minute
5:32price touches the zone, this is the
5:35patterns that we want to see. Either one
5:37of these two patterns right here.
5:40Okay, so let's delve
5:41deeper into each one.
5:43So, the first entry model is the flip
5:45entry model. So, if you guys have
5:47recalled how to map out your flip zone,
5:49it's pretty much the same thing right
5:51here. So, you can see in the lower time
5:53frame, if you zoom in to this price
5:55action right here, this leg right here,
5:56what you will see is that lower time
5:58frame price have shifted bearish
5:59creating lower highs, lower lows just to
6:01facilitate the pullback.
6:03So, in this case, what we want to see in
6:05order for price to give us confirmation
6:08that it's going to continue to push to
6:09the upside
6:11is that we want to see signs that this
6:12pullback is over, the internal structure
6:15has shifted from bearish to bullish.
6:18Which means that we need to have some
6:20form of market shift. That's the
6:22prerequisite. That's the non-negotiable
6:24for each one of these entry models
6:25itself, and that is the market shift.
6:27The market shift tells us that internal
6:29structure has shifted from bearish to
6:30bullish, and the pullback is over, and
6:32right now the continuation is going to
6:35happen.
6:36So, that's the market shift, right? So,
6:38ideally, we want to see the market shift
6:39happen in the market itself.
6:41So,
6:42in this entry model, first thing for us
6:45is price comes down, mitigate the point
6:46of interest, all right? So,
6:48the minute price mitigate the point of
6:50interest, this is where you will jump
6:51down to the lower time frame. Okay,
6:53which means that if price is in the
6:54middle of nowhere just like this, you do
6:57not jump down to the lower time frame.
7:00So, if you're a day trader, this is what
7:02you want to be seeing on either the
7:034-hour or the 15-minute time frame.
7:06And then once price touches your
7:0715-minute demand zone, then you jump
7:10down to the 5-minute time frame to look
7:13for this particular pattern, to look for
7:15this entry confluence, entry
7:17confirmation, entry model.
7:20Okay, so this is very important, right?
7:22Because a lot of you guys are jumping
7:24into the lower time frame prematurely,
7:26right? You should be only jumping down
7:29once price touches your
7:32demand zone that is on the 15-minute
7:34time frame if you are day trading. Okay?
7:37So, ideally, I want to see price
7:39pullback to my medium time frame point
7:43of interest, the 15-minute demand zone,
7:45and when it does, I jump down to the
7:475-minute to look for either one of these
7:49confirmation itself.
7:51Okay, so let's go back to the entry
7:52model. So, this black box that you can
7:55see right here, this is pretty much this
7:56medium-term point of interest here.
7:58So, you can see the minute price
7:59mitigate it, boom, jump down 5-minute,
8:01look for this pattern. If the pattern
8:03appears in the market, you enter the
8:05trade with confidence, with conviction.
8:07If the pattern does not appear, then you
8:08stay out the market as simple as that.
8:11So, the minute price mitigate this zone,
8:12ideally the next thing I want to see is
8:14price create a market shift just to
8:15confirm to me that the structure is
8:17indeed shifting bullish, right?
8:20But, in this case,
8:22what is price going to use in order to
8:25create that market shift? Liquidity. It
8:28needs that available liquidity. So,
8:31ideally we want to see that sweep the
8:34low that was formed right here. Ideally,
8:37we want to see them grab the liquidity
8:38that we have over here.
8:40Okay, so that has to be swept. And if
8:42that gets swept, then now we got the
8:44fuel that price need to get the market
8:46shift to the upside, to, you know, take
8:48back control of price from the sellers.
8:55So, in this case,
8:57price mitigate a demand zone, 15-minute
8:59demand zone, and then it led to a market
9:01shift. But, before it led to a market
9:02shift, it gave us a flip zone. Okay, so
9:05remember, what is flip zone? A flip zone
9:07is pretty much a zone that caused the
9:08opposing zone to fail. So, in this case,
9:10price went up, react from this supply
9:12zone. If this supply zone were to do its
9:14job, price would just continue coming
9:16down, take out the last low, creating a
9:17new lower low, lower high, just
9:19continuing its bearish dynamic, which
9:21means that there's a chance for price to
9:23just continue bearish. And if price
9:26continue bearish and take out this low,
9:27then we got a market shift, and the
9:29entire trend has just reversed from
9:30bullish to bearish.
9:32But, if it doesn't, if this low continue
9:34holding, then there's still a chance
9:35that price will shift bullish.
9:38All right, so that's what would happen
9:39if this supply zone were to do its job,
9:42but it failed to do its job, right?
9:43Because when price actually reacted from
9:45this supply zone, it created a failed
9:47reaction right here.
9:49Which is just a fancy way of saying
9:51that, you know,
9:53there was insufficient sell orders in
9:55the market for price to continue going
9:56down. As a result, the demand has
9:58exceeded the supply, the buyers have
10:00overwhelmed the sellers, and right now
10:03we are pushing to the upside, leaving us
10:05a failed reaction, which means that we
10:07can mark this entire thing right here as
10:09the flip zone.
10:10So, now, what does this tell us? This
10:13tell us that there was so many buyers in
10:16the market
10:17that they pretty much kicked all the
10:19sellers off the market. How do we know
10:21that? Well, we got a market shift,
10:23right? Which tell us that there's a
10:24shift in structure, shift in order flow,
10:27shift in market sentiment.
10:29And not only we do we have a market
10:31shift, we also have a flip zone, which
10:33tell us that there's just insufficient
10:35sell orders for price to continue going
10:37down.
10:38So, we pretty much got all the
10:40conferences in the world that tell us
10:42that the buyers have took back control
10:43of price.
10:44And now, all we do is that we wait for
10:47price to pull back to the flip zone
10:48right here, and then we make our entry.
10:50We enter for our long position the
10:52minute price mitigate the flip zone, and
10:54then we look to trade the move to the
10:56upside. As simple as that.
11:00Okay, as simple as that. That's the flip
11:02entry model itself.
11:05Now, the next entry model is the market
11:08shift entry model, and this one is a
11:09very classic, it's pretty much my bread
11:11and butter entry model, you know, it
11:13appears quite commonly in the market
11:15itself, and it's quite reliable if you
11:17use it with the right context. Okay, so,
11:20here's a tip. For this market shift
11:22entry model to work really, really well,
11:23you want to make sure that you wait for
11:25price to sweep as much liquidity as
11:27humanly possible.
11:29All right, so, same thing right here.
11:31When price mitigate this zone, I do
11:32leave you want to look towards the left
11:33to see whether you have swept any
11:35liquidity that we have created over
11:36here. If we swept that liquidity, then
11:38nice, it got a fuel that it need to
11:40actually move to the upside. All right.
11:42So, in this case, price mitigate the
11:4415-minute demand zone, got the
11:46liquidity, creating a V-shape reaction
11:48telling us that the buyers has took back
11:49control of price, buyers have, you know,
11:52gain regain control of the market, and
11:55then right now we are potentially going
11:56to shift bullish. All right. So, the
11:57minute we got this market shift right
11:58here, what I can potentially happen is
12:00that we are just going to be doing
12:02nothing until price pull back to the
12:04demand zone that created that market
12:06shift. This is your lower time frame
12:08demand zone, right? So, this second
12:10black box that you can see right here.
12:12This is your 5-minute demand zone,
12:14right? So, on the 5-minute time frame,
12:16before you enter for the trade, you want
12:18to make sure that you have mapped out a
12:19demand zone that created the market
12:21shift.
12:22And then just wait for price to pull
12:24back, react from this demand zone, and
12:26then you look for entries to trade it to
12:27the upside. As simple as that.
12:30Right? So, that is the market shift
12:32entry model.
12:33Now, one thing you have to understand is
12:36that a lot of times this could
12:38potentially
12:40be a false breakout. What I basically
12:42mean by that is that sometimes price can
12:45come down here,
12:47mitigate this demand zone over here,
12:49and then starts going up there and take
12:51out the last lower high.
12:52Okay? So, when this actually happen, we
12:54actually got a market shift.
12:57But, instead of continuing going up just
13:00like this, as a result, price continued
13:03going down, taking out this low here.
13:07When this happens,
13:09what this is essentially telling us is
13:11that there was not enough buyers in the
13:13market to sustain this move to the
13:15upside.
13:17In fact, this move to the upside is just
13:20sort of like a manipulated move that was
13:22created by smart money, by the big
13:24banks, by the institutions
13:26for price to go up there, grab the
13:28available liquidity that was above the
13:30lower high, trigger all the stop losses
13:32of retail traders who entered for a
13:33short position or any other stop orders.
13:38And then now they're going to use the
13:39liquidity for price to continue going
13:41down even further.
13:43And perhaps even come down here, grab
13:46the available liquidity below this swing
13:48low right here
13:50before causing price to reverse to the
13:52upside.
13:54All right, so this is a tip Well, rather
13:57this is more of like a warning that I
13:58want to give to you guys. When you guys
14:00are using this entry model, this is the
14:02situations that you will see sometimes.
14:04Sometimes there's just insufficient
14:06liquidity for price to move up just like
14:09this. As a result, you need to create
14:11more liquidity, grab more liquidity
14:14before the real move can actually
14:15happen.
14:16And if that's the case, what you want to
14:18do is to wait for price to create that
14:21market shift entry model again. Right,
14:23so in this case, when price comes down,
14:25pick out this low, this is our internal
14:27break of structure, and this is also
14:29where we can expect a liquidity sweep.
14:31So the minute price create a V-shape
14:32reaction just like this, taking out the
14:33last strong lower high, this is where
14:36you got a market shift, and same thing
14:37you just wait for price to pull back to
14:39this lower time frame demand zone, and
14:40then look for your entry and trade it to
14:43the upside.
14:47All right.
14:49So those are the entry models itself.
14:53One entry model is more centered around
14:55like the fair reaction, you know, like
14:57pretty much the shift in sentiment, the
14:58shift in order flow. The other entry
15:01model is more centered around like the
15:03shift in structure. Okay? So both of
15:07these entry models, they are designed to
15:09stop you from entering too early and to
15:11help you wait for the market to reveal
15:13more information before you commit.
15:15Because this is a lot of mistakes that a
15:16lot of traders tend to make. They see
15:18price
15:19touch the demand zone, they enter for a
15:20buy.
15:22They don't wait for liquidity sweep.
15:23They don't wait for structure shift.
15:25They don't wait for fair reaction. They
15:27don't wait for any confirmation. They
15:29just automatically assume that price is
15:30just going to magically go up just
15:32because they entered for the big
15:35not really big, but like they just
15:36because they entered for the buy
15:37position. They think that they are smart
15:39money. When in reality, no, that's not
15:41the case. All right. So, once again, I
15:44can't emphasize this enough, but the
15:45context matters so much more than the
15:48entry confirmation itself.
15:50A clean-looking entry model means
15:52nothing if it's forming in the wrong
15:54location,
15:56in the wrong part of the range, the
15:58premium and discount range, or against
16:00the higher time frame story.
16:02A good model in a bad context is still a
16:04bad trade.
16:05Okay. So, it doesn't matter whether you
16:07have 10,000 different confluences,
16:09right? You got all the stars in the
16:11world lighting up for you to enter for
16:12this trade. But if
16:14it's paired with the wrong context,
16:16located at the wrong location, taken at
16:18the within the wrong timing, it's going
16:21to fail. All right. So, context matters
16:23as much as the entry model itself.
16:26And bear in mind that these are just two
16:28of the many proven entry models that we
16:29actually teach inside my mentorship
16:31program, 1% Club. Right? So, if you're
16:33interested to find more find out more of
16:35these entry models, you know, get more
16:36weapons in the arsenal, you can check
16:38out my mentorship program, link in the
16:39description.
16:41With that being said, let's go on to the
16:42chart and just try to apply these entry
16:45models. Right? So, first of all, I'm
16:47going to show you what the entry model
16:48looks like on the chart just so that you
16:50can like get used to seeing it because
16:52it's not as simple as, you know, these
16:55perfect diagrams all the time, right?
16:57Sometimes it just doesn't look like
16:58this. Sometimes price can consolidate a
17:00little bit and then start shifting
17:02bullish. And if that's the case, if you
17:04don't understand what the pattern looks
17:07like on the chart, you are just going to
17:09get lost, confused, and you are just not
17:12going to be able to spot it.
17:17So, in this case itself,
17:19what do we have? We got price comes
17:20down, okay, clear as day, very bearish.
17:23How do we know it's bearish? Because
17:25price is creating your lower highs and
17:27lower lows, lower highs, lower lows.
17:30So, in this case, this is the swing high
17:32and this is the swing low.
17:33So, right now, our expectation is that
17:35if price were to remain bearish, what
17:37going to happen next is that price going
17:40to
17:40maybe come up to this
17:42supply zone, the last supply zone at
17:44this last lower high right here, react
17:46for me and just continue going down.
17:49But, in this example right here,
17:51what we had was that price was actually
17:54pulling back.
17:56Okay, you can see this right here, the
17:58minute this candlestick was formed over
17:59here.
18:00Clear as day.
18:01All right, let me just show you guys
18:02right here.
18:04All right, you can see the supply zone
18:05is doing its job. Price come up here to
18:07the 50% of this supply zone, some sell
18:09orders step into the market causing
18:10price to push to the downside.
18:13All right, so it is doing its job. But,
18:15whether it's going to finish its job is
18:16another thing.
18:17All right, let's just continue to see.
18:19Remember, if the sellers were to
18:22maintain control of price, what needs to
18:24happen is that price need to continue
18:25coming down here taking out this
18:27previous low,
18:28previous weak low, creating a new strong
18:31lower high right here. But, if that
18:32doesn't happen, then that's the first
18:34sign that tell us that the market is
18:36shifting bullish.
18:37It's just the first sign, it's not a
18:39it's not a definite sign. All right, so
18:41later price went up, slowly coming up
18:44just like this. You can see. And we have
18:45this, this is your failed reaction,
18:49which tell us that, you know what, maybe
18:50buyers has overpowered supply.
18:53But, we cannot confirm for sure yet. All
18:57right, so
18:58in this example, you cannot assume that,
19:01"Oh my god, price is going up. I'm just
19:02going to enter for a buy right here."
19:04Why not?
19:05Right? You got a failed reaction. Why
19:06not enter for a long position right
19:08here?
19:09Because you haven't gotten the
19:10confirmation that the structure is
19:11indeed shifting bullish.
19:13You haven't gotten a market shift.
19:16So, what can still potentially happen is
19:17that price can pull back to the supply
19:19zone, goes down, create a field
19:21reaction, maybe it's just coming up here
19:23to sweep the liquidity above this high,
19:26and then just continue crashing down.
19:28All right? Nothing is set in stone yet,
19:31since price is still within this range.
19:33It has not taken out this low, has not
19:35taken out this high, has not taken out
19:38the strong high, has not taken out the
19:39weak low. Nothing is set in stone yet.
19:42So, if price were to continue going
19:43down, take out this low, then we know
19:44that it's bearish. If price were to
19:46continue going up, take out this strong
19:48high, then we know it's bullish.
19:49All right? So, this part of the time you
19:51shouldn't be doing anything. You should
19:52just be staying calm, being very
19:54patient, and just waiting to see what
19:57happens next. All right? Just observe.
20:00The minute price come up there and it
20:01create a candlestick just like this
20:03where it close above the last lower
20:04high, this is where you pretty much got
20:06your confirmation that price is indeed
20:08shifting bullish. Because this is where
20:10we got a market shift.
20:12Okay? The structure has essentially
20:13shifted from bearish to bullish. Now we
20:16can expect a new high low to be formed
20:18somewhere around here and just continue
20:20going up. And that's what we are trying
20:21to capture. We are trying to capture
20:22this high low.
20:24So, the minute this happens, this is
20:26where you can draw two zones. All right?
20:28So, let me just
20:30go back in time a little bit. Right
20:31here, let me just erase those zones and
20:32do it with you guys.
20:33So, in this case,
20:35this is the market shift.
20:37And you always draw the zone from the
20:39extreme. All right? So, this is the
20:40extreme swing low, and then this is like
20:42the new swing high. So, this is where
20:44you can draw the extreme demand zone,
20:47which is entire range right here. If you
20:49are using the range method, if you are
20:50using the pivot method, you'll be this
20:53candlestick right here, this pivot
20:55reversal candlestick right here. This is
20:56your extreme demand zone.
20:58So, going back to the entry model, if we
21:00were to enter at the extreme demand
21:02zone, which entry model is it? Well,
21:04it's going to be the market shift entry
21:06model,
21:07which states that you need to be
21:08entering upon the mitigation of a lower
21:11time frame point of interest that
21:12created the market shift.
21:14All right, so that's the extreme demand
21:15zone.
21:17And then later on price
21:19went up,
21:20created a fair reaction right here and
21:21then continued going up. So, in this
21:23case, there is a fair reaction over
21:24here, so we can draw this entire range
21:27right here as our
21:29flip zone. Okay, so this is our flip
21:31zone.
21:32If you were to refine it to the pivot
21:33candle, you'll be somewhere around here.
21:36All right, so now we got your flip zone
21:39right here and then we also got your
21:41extreme zone right here.
21:43So, let's continue to observe what
21:44happens next.
21:46Price comes down, mitigates its flip
21:47zone. If you are using this particular
21:49entry model itself, this is where you
21:51look for longs and you will enter upon
21:52the mitigation of this flip zone itself.
21:54Boom, enter for a buy order right here
21:56the minute price reverse at this flip
21:57zone and then you will be able to
21:59capture this very nice move to the
22:01upside before price continue coming down
22:04to the extreme zone. Right, extreme zone
22:07mitigate extreme zone and then push to
22:09the upside.
22:11Now, here's a mechanical rule that I
22:13have in my system.
22:15If something like this occurs,
22:18I always enter on the extreme zone
22:20rather than the flip zone.
22:22Why? Because in this case, if a flip
22:25zone is being formed right here, chances
22:27are there's going to be available
22:28liquidity being built up below this fair
22:30reaction right here.
22:32So, ideally I want to see that get swept
22:36and also mitigate this extreme demand
22:37zone and then I make my entry from here.
22:40Okay, so this is just a mechanical rule
22:42that I have in my system.
22:43You can test it out, right? Usually what
22:46I've seen is that if there's a flip zone
22:48and an extreme zone just like this,
22:50price tends to come down to the extreme
22:52zone.
22:53Not always, depends on the market
22:55condition, depends on the amount of fuel
22:57the market gets at the flip zone, but
22:59yeah, this is just a simple mechanical
23:01rule that I have in my system. Right?
23:03So,
23:04that's that. Now, I just wanted to show
23:06you this example just to show you guys
23:08what the entry model looks like in the
23:11market itself. Right? This is what you
23:13should expect to see. As long as you
23:15follow the systematic framework, you
23:17should be fine. Right? The systematic
23:19framework is, you know what? You got to
23:21wait for the market shift to happen. You
23:23got to wait for the flip reaction. Then
23:24you get a flip entry model. Obviously,
23:26after the point of interest mitigation
23:28and also the liquidity sweep. And then
23:30for the market shift entry model is that
23:32you got to wait for the market shift,
23:33wait for price to pull back to a point
23:35of interest that created the market
23:36shift, then you look for your entry.
23:40All right. So, with that being said,
23:41let's look at some more examples.
23:44Before I do, let me just fuel with this
23:45green tea.
23:48If liquidity is the fuel for the market,
23:51green tea
23:52is the fuel for the soul.
23:54Oh my god, that's deep, man.
23:57Oh, oh my god, that's so good, man. Life
24:00is good, bro. Life is good, man. Life is
24:01good when you're enjoying this Korean
24:04green tea that tastes immaculate.
24:07Oh,
24:08>> [sighs]
24:08>> okay, cool. Now, let's take a look at
24:10this example right here next.
24:13So, now we are looking at NQ. All right?
24:16Once again, market mechanics concept is
24:18universal. It works across every single
24:20market, every single asset class. It
24:23works for futures, works for indices,
24:25stocks, commodities, crypto, whatever
24:28you are trading that has a chart, it
24:30works. All right? Anything and
24:32everything.
24:33So, let's take a look at this example
24:34here. All right? Let's, you know, go up
24:36to our medium time frame. All right? So,
24:38in this case, medium time frame, I'm
24:40going to be looking at it from the lens
24:41of like a day trader just like this. All
24:44right? So,
24:46this is how I'm going to be operating.
24:48I'm going to look at the chart
24:50of No, maybe should I day trade? Yeah,
24:53you know what? Let I just go day trade
24:54just to keep things simple. All right?
24:55So, higher time frame, medium time
24:57frame, I'm going to be seeing this.
24:58Lower time frame, I want to be seeing
24:59this.
25:00So, as a day trader, my higher time
25:02frame is the 4-hour, my medium time
25:04frame is the 15-minute, and my lower
25:05time frame is the 5-minute. So, to keep
25:07things simple,
25:09I'm going to be using the 15-minute time
25:12frame and the 5-minute time frame in
25:13this example. 15-minute as my medium
25:15time frame, 5-minute as my lower time
25:17frame.
25:17So, in this case, we have clearly
25:19established the fact that price is
25:20bullish. How do we know that? Price went
25:22up, pulls back, goes up, right? It's
25:24getting higher highs, higher lows. And
25:26clear as day, there's a lot of bullish
25:27imbalance, a lot of buying momentum, a
25:29lot of buying pressure.
25:31Right? So, in this case, we can mark
25:32this entire zone up as your demand zone,
25:34right? This entire pivot right here.
25:37So, you can also mark this as your swing
25:38low and your swing high.
25:41All right. So, now,
25:43we have done our analysis, we have done
25:44our research, we have done our
25:45preparation. What's the next step?
25:48The next step is that we develop our
25:50trade idea, which means that we want to
25:52look for longs. And ideally, we want to
25:54look for longs at this demand zone right
25:56here.
25:57Right? Once again, you can even go one
25:59step even further and map out the
26:00premium discount,
26:02but there's kind of no use in this case
26:04because like there is no demand zone
26:06within the premium pricing, right? So,
26:07it's very obvious that you need to wait
26:09for price to pull back to this demand
26:10right here.
26:11I think it's like the only demand here,
26:13anyways. Yeah, so this is like the only
26:14demand here. There's another very subtle
26:17demand right here, right? But because
26:19this is such a small little demand, I
26:20wouldn't even consider it.
26:23What I would instead do is that I'll
26:24mark up this
26:26as like a inducement, right? That's
26:29available liquidity sitting below this
26:31low right here.
26:32Right? So, the next step is to develop a
26:34trade idea, and we know that we should
26:35be looking for long positions
26:38at this demand zone right here.
26:41But right now, price is over here. So,
26:42do we do anything? No, we don't do
26:44anything, right? We just wait here, play
26:46with our fingers, you know, do what you
26:47need to do, just chill until price comes
26:50down to our zone.
26:52Boom, you can see the minute price
26:55touches the zone just like this, right?
26:57It touches it. Boom, this is your
26:59wake-up call. Jump down to your lower
27:01time frame to look for your entry
27:02confluence, to look for your entry
27:03confirmation. So, I jump down to the
27:055-minute time frame
27:07and this is where I'm looking for my
27:09confirmation.
27:10All right, so once again,
27:13what do we want to see? We want to see
27:14price mitigate the point of interest.
27:16Right? The minute price mitigate the
27:17point of interest, jump down to the
27:19lower time frame. That's the first step.
27:21The next step is that I want to see
27:22price sweep some form of liquidity that
27:25have been built on the left-hand side
27:26during the continuation phase. So, in
27:28this case, when price is going up, it
27:30pulls back, goes up, pulls back, and
27:32then goes up, it give us a lower high, I
27:34mean, a new higher low just like this,
27:36which means which means there's
27:37available liquidity being built up below
27:39those lows right here.
27:40So, ideally, I want to see that low get
27:42swept as well. Right? So, in this case,
27:44that's exactly what's happening right
27:45here. Price came down, sweeping the low
27:47below this sweeping the liquidity below
27:50this low right here. You can see it
27:51creates like a very long wick just like
27:53this, and then starts pushing up, right?
27:54We can potentially get a V-shape
27:55reaction anytime right now.
27:57And in this case, all right?
28:00This is where you'll really be able to
28:03see that the internal structure is
28:05bearish right now. Okay? So, internal
28:06structure bearish right here. So, for us
28:08to know that the trend is going to shift
28:10to bullish, we want to see price take
28:12out the last lower high. All right, so
28:15where's the last lower high? The last
28:17lower high is probably somewhere around
28:18here. Okay, this is the last lower high.
28:20We want to see price take that high up.
28:24Okay, so in this case, if I want to, you
28:27know, get even much more precise entry,
28:29this might be for the scalpers out
28:30there. I would jump down to the 1-minute
28:32time frame.
28:33And if I jump down to the 1-minute time
28:34frame, this is where things get a lot
28:36more clearer, right? You will see that
28:38this is actually the last break of
28:39structure. This is also the last break
28:41of structure, which means that this
28:44right here it's actually the last lower
28:46high. So, if price take out that last
28:47lower high, then this is where we got
28:49our market shift.
28:51Okay? This is where we got our market
28:53shift right here.
28:56All right? But, to keep things simple,
28:57we just going to stay at a 5-minute time
28:59frame for now just to show you the price
29:01action over here. The minute we got our
29:02market shift over here,
29:04this is where you want to go and
29:06identify the lower time frame demand
29:08zone that created this market shift. All
29:10right? So, in this case, price come all
29:11the way down here and then started going
29:13up creating a V-shape reaction after
29:15sweeping the liquidity that we have on
29:16the left-hand side right here. So, this
29:18right here becomes our extreme demand
29:20zone.
29:21All right? Which means that after this
29:23market shift, we don't want to enter for
29:25the position yet. We want to wait for
29:27price to pull back to our extreme demand
29:29zone right here.
29:30So, we wait. We wait. The minute price
29:32pull back to that extreme demand zone,
29:33you can execute either a manual buy
29:35order, or you can place like a limit or
29:38stop order at this price point right
29:39here. And then once price step into that
29:41area, you get tapped into the trade by
29:43your broker.
29:45Okay? So, in terms of the stop loss, my
29:48idea is always place a stop loss at a
29:50price point which invalidate the trade
29:52ideal. All right? So, in this case, you
29:54can either place it below this lower
29:55time frame demand zone if you're
29:56conservative, or if you're aggressive,
29:58you might want to even place it below
30:01this candlestick that you actually enter
30:03the trade from.
30:05Once again, up to you. I will advise you
30:06to test this out. And then for take
30:08profit, to keep it simple and mechanical
30:10in this lesson, we're just going to set
30:11it at 2R.
30:13All right? So, sure sure enough, here
30:15our fast price just go up there and
30:16smash our TP. All right? As simple as
30:18that.
30:19All right? So,
30:21now, that's pretty much how you use the
30:23this entry model itself, which is the
30:25market shift entry model. It's quite
30:26straightforward. You're just waiting for
30:28a liquidity sweep, market shift, wait
30:30for price to pull back to this demand
30:32zone right here.
30:33Now, let's talk about the other entry
30:35model, which is the flip entry model.
30:36Because if you jump down to the lower
30:38time frame, you will see that there was
30:39actually a flip entry model. All right?
30:41This is very interesting.
30:43All right, so when I jump down to the
30:44time frame, now I see a few different
30:46things. I see that when price was
30:48creating this V-shape reaction right
30:50here and creating this market shift,
30:52there was actually a failed reaction
30:55right here.
30:58All right, so in this case,
31:00once again, what happened over over here
31:01is that price went up, pulls back
31:03mitigating this supply over here.
31:08All right, mitigating this supply over
31:10here, and we have we got a failed
31:13reaction before price goes up, which
31:15means that this entire range right here
31:17becomes our flip zone.
31:19All right, if you want to even more
31:20precise, you can map out this
31:23pivot candle right here, and this is our
31:24flip zone.
31:25So, when price have
31:28mitigated this 15-minute demand zone
31:31right here, you jump down to the lower
31:33time frame, either the 5-minute or the
31:341-minute, and then this is where you
31:36search for entry model. And I do like I
31:38said, I want to see this liquidity get
31:39swept. This liquidity gets swept right
31:41here, we create a V-shape reaction, this
31:43tells us that there's institutional
31:45buying intent, right? Price is indeed
31:46shifting bullish, and it's further
31:48backed up by this market shift right
31:50here, which tells us that buyers has
31:52indeed took back control of price. So,
31:55yeah, in this case, like let's just go
31:56back a little bit over here, price come
31:59out there creating this market shift
32:01over here.
32:02So, this tells us that the structure is
32:04indeed shifting from bearish to bullish.
32:07And now, we pretty much got all our
32:10criteria, right? We got the liquidity
32:12sweep, we got price mitigating this
32:13point of interest, we got the failed
32:15reaction being formed, we got this flip
32:16zone being formed right here, we got our
32:18market shift, and now we just do nothing
32:20until price pull back to this flip zone
32:23itself.
32:24As simple as that. All right, so you do
32:26nothing, do nothing, all right?
32:28Maybe you want to place like a limit or
32:30stop order right here, instead of
32:31entering manually, you place it at the
32:32edge of the zone,
32:34and then you just do nothing until price
32:36comes down here and tap you into the
32:39trade. Right, so at this point of time
32:40you are tapping into the trade and let's
32:42observe what happens next. Okay, so once
32:44again you can
32:45either place your stop loss below the
32:47zone itself, right? Below the flip zone
32:49just like this or below the candlestick
32:50in which you enter the trade from.
32:53Right, and then just set a TP at 2R and
32:55you can see you will smash it just
32:58very fast just like this. Okay, and then
33:00price just continue
33:02bullish and just continue going up and
33:03just absolutely skyrocket.
33:05So, that is an example of
33:09the flip entry model and also the market
33:11shift entry model applied on Nasdaq.
33:14Right? I hope you guys have gotten like
33:16kind of used to like just identifying
33:18these patterns. If not, don't worry. Now
33:21let's take a look at a bearish example.
33:22Right, we have looked at a bunch of
33:24bullish examples. Now let's try to take
33:26a look at a bearish example.
33:29Okay, so in this case itself, right?
33:32This is price on the 15-minute time
33:35frame over here.
33:38I think this is price in a
33:38consolidation. So, this is going to be
33:40an interesting one.
33:41Right, so let's just go back in time a
33:43little bit right here.
33:46Okay, so right now
33:50this is the consolidation, but if you
33:51zoom in at the most recent price action
33:53you will see that we are actually
33:54bullish right here. Price goes up, pulls
33:56back, goes up. We are actually bullish.
33:58So, once again swing highs uh swing low
34:00right here.
34:01All right, so right now our expectation
34:03is that price is going to remain
34:04bullish. So, if price comes down,
34:06mitigates this demand zone right here,
34:08you know, this is where
34:10perhaps price is going to shift bullish,
34:12right? So, we want to look for longs
34:13right here.
34:15But in this case, price goes up all the
34:17way up here
34:18creating your failed reaction, right?
34:20Which pretty much does that, you know
34:22what? Maybe price is not shifting
34:23bullish yet.
34:24But we cannot confirm until price take
34:26out this low, right? So, later on price
34:27comes down, take out this low right
34:28here, giving us a market shift.
34:31Okay, so when you get a market shift,
34:33just like this, which confirmed to you
34:35that the market has officially shifted
34:36bearish, this is where we know for a
34:38fact that
34:40swing high,
34:41swing low. Right now, where can we
34:44expect price to pull back to?
34:45Well, in this case, you always draw from
34:48the extreme, right? This is the extreme
34:50supply zone right here. And is this just
34:52an ordinary supply zone? No, it's not
34:54because price went up there, pulls back,
34:56creating a swing high, generating
34:58available liquidity above those highs.
35:00Then price went up there, swept that
35:01high, and then started coming down right
35:03here. So, this right here is actually a
35:06liquidity sweep, right? So, this is a
35:08supply zone that swept liquidity itself.
35:11And then later on price
35:13comes down, pulls back, goes down,
35:15right? You can even map this up as an
35:17additional supply zone right here.
35:19And then price comes down, reacting from
35:21this demand zone, failed to do its job,
35:22creating a fake reaction before going
35:24down, which means that this right here
35:27is our flip zone.
35:29Okay? This right here is our flip zone.
35:33Right, so let's just observe what price
35:34does next, right? Price comes up,
35:36mitigate the flip zone, and then go.
35:38Okay, so once again, this is just a
35:40variation of what the flip zone entry
35:42model looks like in a bearish scenario.
35:45But I want you guys to pay attention to
35:47what happened right here.
35:49Okay, so over here, when price mitigate
35:51this flip zone,
35:53if you go down to the lower time frame,
35:54this is where you should be able to see
35:56some form of entry model itself. All
35:58right?
36:00The 5-minute, the 1-minute, let's just
36:01see what happens.
36:03Price comes down and then just start
36:05crashing down like crazy.
36:08Okay.
36:10So, I'm going to show you this on the
36:125-minute time frame, right? So, let's
36:13say once again, we're approaching this
36:15from the lens of a day trader, which
36:17means that the 15-minute time frame is
36:18our medium time frame, and the 5-minute
36:22or the 1-minute is our lower time frame.
36:24So, over here, 15-minute time frame has
36:26confirmed to us that price has shifted
36:27bearish. So, we should only be looking
36:29for shorts. And where are we looking for
36:30shorts? We are looking for shorts either
36:32at this flip zone or this supply zone
36:34right here. As simple as that. So, once
36:37price step into this point of interest
36:38or this one right here or this one right
36:39here, then I would jump down to the
36:41lower time frame, which is the 5-minute
36:43time frame to look for my entry model.
36:45So, if price is still right here, I'm
36:47not doing anything. I'm not doing
36:48anything. I'm not doing anything. Boom.
36:50Touches this zone, go down to the lower
36:51time frame, the 5-minute time frame. And
36:53this is where I'm searching for the
36:55entry model itself. And if you look at
36:57this flip zone, it's not just an
36:58ordinary flip zone. It's a flip zone
37:00that sub liquidity. Because price went
37:01up, pulls back, goes up, sub liquidity,
37:04and then goes down. So, pay attention to
37:07the tiny little details, right? The tiny
37:08little details add up in the grand
37:10scheme of things.
37:11So, in this case, price pull back to
37:13this flip zone that sub liquidity.
37:15Mitigates it, touches it. Cool. Now, I'm
37:17interested. Now, I'm seeing where is the
37:20market shift going to happen.
37:21Right? Price goes up, pulls back, goes
37:24up. Right? This is the last high low,
37:25which means that the market shift will
37:26only happen if price take out this low
37:28here.
37:30Now, observe what happens next. Price
37:32continue coming down, creating this
37:33market shift. And right now, the minute
37:35price create this market shift, our
37:37expectation is that price is potentially
37:39going to pull back to this supply zone
37:41that created this market shift.
37:44And then this is where we can use our
37:45market shift entry model, right? Where
37:47we look for shorts, the minute price
37:48mitigate this zone, and then we short it
37:50all the way down here.
37:51But observe what happens next.
37:53Price comes all the way down here. There
37:55was no pull back whatsoever.
37:57So, in this case, what do you do?
38:00Well, you don't do anything.
38:02All right, so
38:03this is where
38:06if you want to be very strict, very
38:07mechanical with your trading system,
38:10you have to be okay with letting these
38:12trades go sometime.
38:14Because sometimes there's just so much
38:16liquidity in the market at a specific
38:18price point, at a specific location that
38:20it does not create that pull back to
38:21grab more liquidity.
38:23Right? Because if it needs more
38:24liquidity, then obviously after the
38:25market shift, it's going to pull back to
38:26this supply zone, fill up the remaining
38:28sell orders, and then continue dumping.
38:30But there was already enough liquidity
38:32right here. Right? That's why price
38:34actually came down.
38:36So this is
38:37something that we actually teach our
38:38students inside the 1% Club, which is
38:41aggressive version of the entry model
38:42itself. This is a little bit more
38:43advanced.
38:45Right? Because you need to make sure
38:46that you're not using this entry model
38:48in every market condition. You're only
38:50using it in high probability scenarios
38:52where you enter for a sell position the
38:54minute you price actually mitigate this
38:55point of interest.
38:57But yeah, I'm not going to delve too
38:58deep into that. Right? Not going to
39:00confuse you. For now, to be strict and
39:02mechanical with your trading system,
39:05remember, you want to see a price pull
39:07back to your point of interest, then you
39:08look for entry. All right?
39:10So let's jump down to the 1-minute time
39:12frame to see what happened right here.
39:13To see whether we can actually have any
39:15entry over here.
39:17Okay. So this is where it gets a little
39:20bit nuanced, right? A little bit
39:21advanced, like I said.
39:23If you guys are watching this right now,
39:24chances are you might be interested in
39:26this advanced sort of concepts. So I'm
39:28going to show you like how to really get
39:30like those precise entries. So in this
39:33case over here, we actually did get a
39:35market shift, but it was at a very
39:37subtle level. It was at a fractal level.
39:40If you jump down to the 1-minute time
39:41frame, then you can see the market
39:43shift.
39:44So in this case, price goes up,
39:46pulls back creating this bearish candle,
39:48and then goes up. Right? So this right
39:49here is the last fractal high. Right?
39:52The last fractal low. So if price take
39:54out this last fractal low,
39:56then this is where we got our fractal
39:58market shift. Once again, I don't I
40:00don't believe I'm teaching this concept
40:01inside this series because this is just
40:03an advanced concept that we teach inside
40:05the 1% Club, the mentorship program.
40:08But yeah, this is the fractal market
40:10shift, which means that this is our
40:12extreme supply zone that led to the
40:14fractal market shift, and then this is
40:16our flip zone, that led to the fractal
40:18market shift itself.
40:20And again, see what happens that after
40:22the market shift, price pulled back to
40:23this flip zone, there was not enough
40:25liquidity, right? As a result, price
40:27came down, you can see it just did not
40:29continue going down even further. As a
40:31result, it pulled back all the way up
40:32here to this extreme supply zone, and
40:33then go down. And notice what happened
40:36before it went down. It swept some
40:38liquidity from the fair reaction right
40:40here, right? So, this is the fair
40:41reaction, this is the flip zone. It
40:43swept the liquidity from the flip zone
40:45itself, and then continue going down.
40:47This is why I have a mechanical rule
40:49that says that if I have a extreme zone
40:50and a flip zone at the same area, I do
40:53the I only want to enter for a short
40:54position at the extreme zone itself.
40:57Right? So, this is where you enter for
40:58the trade. The minute price mitigate the
41:00sweep zone, the extreme zone, extreme
41:02supply zone, swept the liquidity from
41:04the fair reaction, place the stop loss
41:06above this zone itself, or even above
41:09the candlestick. You can see this is
41:10where things get really like precise,
41:13right? If you place it above the
41:15candlestick, you are getting like two
41:16pip stop loss. Place it above the zone,
41:18this is like four pip stop loss, right?
41:19This is how people get straight to those
41:21sniper-like entries itself.
41:23This is how my students managed to get
41:24funded over and over again, and just get
41:26so much payouts, you know, make anywhere
41:28from 5K to 10K to 20K to 30K to 50K a
41:31month using these sniper-like entries
41:33right here. They place the stop loss
41:35above this zone itself, and the target
41:39they can target the moon, right? They
41:40can target all the way down here. And
41:42you will see the trade still play out
41:43perfectly, right? It pretty much play
41:45out just just going out very smoothly,
41:47all because they know how to trade with
41:48sniper-like position.
41:51So, this is the concept which is called
41:52sniper entries, which is a lot more
41:54advanced. I don't recommend you guys to
41:56actually learn this if you're still in
41:57the first year of trading. If you're not
41:59even profitable at trading, you're much
42:01better off sticking to like whatever
42:03I've been teaching you for like the past
42:0515 minutes or so, right? Like I said,
42:07this is the advanced version of the
42:09entry model itself. We teach this inside
42:12the mentorship program. So, for now,
42:14just stick to like the basic stuff,
42:16right? If you want to learn the advanced
42:17stuff, you want to learn about all of
42:19the nuances in which you can apply these
42:21entry models, all the tips and tricks,
42:23and the hacks, then yeah, the mentorship
42:25program, that's the right place for you.
42:27By the ways, in this case, you can see
42:29what happens is that price came down,
42:31giving me us an internal break of
42:32structure, which further validates this
42:36market shift right here, which tells us
42:37that price is indeed bearish. And after
42:39this my after this internal break of
42:41structure, where did the price pull back
42:43to? Price pull back to this level
42:46supply zone right here, that swept
42:48liquidity. Okay, so this was the new
42:50supply zone that swept liquidity itself.
42:53Price mitigated that, and then continued
42:55collapsing. So, this is where advanced
42:57students will try to scale in for
42:59another position right here, and capture
43:01the next move to the downside. So, now,
43:03they not only have one trade running to
43:05TP, right?
43:08But they have two positions running to
43:10TP, right? So, now, the first trade, you
43:12know, they had like a 1:8 risk to reward
43:14somewhere around here, right? 1:8 risk
43:16to reward. The second trade, they have
43:171:10 risk to reward. Now, they are able
43:20to capture a total of 18 R on the trade.
43:23What this essentially means is that if
43:24you're risking 1% of your account, you
43:26have a chance to actually make 80% of
43:29your account, 18% of your account,
43:31right? So, if you're risking $1,000 a
43:32trade, guess what? If you win these two
43:35trades, you have made $18,000.
43:38If you're risking 10K on the trade
43:40itself,
43:42and in this trade, if you won both of
43:43these trades, you have made about 180K.
43:47Right, 10K, yeah, 180K. So, that's the
43:50power of sniper entries, and this is how
43:52we're able to capture these insane
43:54entries, 1:5 R, 1:8 R, 1:9 R.
43:58So, yeah, like I said, this is a little
44:00bit more advanced. I wouldn't recommend
44:01you guys to even like synthesize this,
44:03but, you know, I just wanted to share
44:05that with you, just to give you like
44:06more options as well for my fellow
44:09traders who want to take things to the
44:11next level. But like I said, these sort
44:13of advanced entry models, they don't
44:15work all the time. You have to make sure
44:17that you are using it in the right
44:18market conditions at the right location.
44:21Okay, like this sort of advanced
44:23aggressive version of the entry model,
44:25we teach our students to use it in very
44:27specific market condition. You cannot
44:29just be using this in every market
44:31condition, right? You have to use it in
44:32very specific market condition at a high
44:35probably these zone. You have to take
44:36into account the timing, you know, the
44:38location and all the other variables
44:39before you actually enter for the trade.
44:42But yeah, I don't want to confuse you
44:43for now.
44:44Just understand that these are the entry
44:47models right here.
44:49Your goal is to make sure that you look
44:51out for these entry models the minute
44:52price mitigate a medium-term point of
44:54interest, right? Your goal is not to
44:57predict first. Your goal is to react
45:00correctly once the model is clear. Once
45:03you see the entry model in the charts,
45:04then you react accordingly and you enter
45:06for the long or the short position. I'll
45:08say I'll just end up by saying that
45:11a good entry model is not just about
45:13forcing trades, it's about waiting for
45:15the market to tell a clear story, then
45:18executing with precision.
45:20Waiting for the market to give you the
45:22signal, then you enter for the trade
45:24itself.
45:26Patience really pays off, right? If you
45:28have the patience
45:29to just wait for these entry models to
45:31appear in the market at the desired
45:33point of interest at a medium-term point
45:35of interest, trust me, you will save
45:38yourself a lot of unnecessary losses and
45:41you will be able to make a lot of money.
45:43All right? So, with that being said, I
45:44hope you guys have enjoyed this lengthy
45:45lesson and as always, remember, you're
45:48just one trade away.
