0:00In the last trading week alone, I made
0:017% gain. Specifically, one of them being
0:04a partial winning trade that went on to
0:06hit break even, one of them being a
0:08losing trade, and one of them being a
0:10winning trade. So, what I want to do is
0:12not show you a random cherry-picked
0:13winning trade example in isolation,
0:15which has no meaning. I want to walk you
0:17through an entire week of price action,
0:19the most recent week of price action, to
0:21show you my strategy in action with the
0:23highs and the lows, walking you through
0:25how I navigate complicated market
0:27situations, how I turn confusing price
0:29action into clarity, and how I take a
0:31losing trade not into a losing week.
0:34So, let's start off with a full top-down
0:36analysis. So, we're on the daily time
0:37frame. On the daily time frame, I only
0:39have three quick objectives. Especially
0:41when you're an intraday or intersession
0:43trader, spending a lot of time on the
0:45daily time frames is not useful. Why?
0:47Because on the daily time frame, you're
0:48going to see big moves and big trends.
0:51Now, if you're a swing trader, of
0:52course, that is relevant. But, if you're
0:53trying to catch not the entire swing,
0:55not the entire move, rather the most
0:57probable pockets of opportunity along
0:59the way. Then, the key thing is on the
1:00daily time frame, unless you're in a
1:02POI, unless you've just made a higher
1:04high, most of the time on the daily time
1:06frame, you are in no man's land. So,
1:07rather trying to understand each portion
1:09of the daily time frame, I try and
1:10extract just three quick things. The
1:12first one is going to be direction, or
1:14trend. Number two is going to be points
1:15of interest, and specifically, am I in
1:17them right now? And number three is
1:18going to be liquidity, cuz that's going
1:20to help me understand the difference
1:21between trend and traps, and most
1:23importantly, help me navigate between
1:24the short-term, mid-term, and long-term,
1:27or navigating through the terrains of
1:28multiple traps. So, when I pull the
1:30daily time frame up of the most recent
1:32week of price action, it's a very quick
1:34and easy read, because with those three
1:35lenses in mind, all I need to do is
1:37number one, understand the trend. And
1:38that's very simple to understand,
1:40because we just need to see the green
1:41dots, which is going to be from a higher
1:43low to a higher high. That was the
1:44previous range, and when the range was
1:46broken, and we made a new higher high,
1:48then I knew that the range was from this
1:50low to this high. That became the main
1:52push, that became the daily trend, hence
1:54the green arrow. And we to the high to
1:56mark our daily external range high, and
1:59we use the low, which was the higher low
2:00in that bullish trend, to be our daily
2:02external low. So, instead of trying to
2:04understand all of the price action we
2:06have, then I just focus from the range
2:08low to the range high, and I know the
2:09direction is bullish, meaning overall
2:11I'm expecting price to make a new higher
2:13high at some point. Where is that going
2:15to happen from? Ideally from demand
2:17areas. For example, this extreme block
2:19over here, the last push down before we
2:21had the price action going bullish,
2:23price returning into that area, and
2:24specifically doing a build-up, an
2:26inducement, and then breaking internal
2:28structure. So, with these things
2:30connected, I know the trend is bullish
2:31on the daily time frame. I know we've
2:33already come into the point of interest,
2:35the area of demand. I know we've taken
2:37liquidity in that demand area. That's
2:39led to a break of structure where we had
2:40the previous internal lower high that
2:42made this internal lower low, going to
2:44make an internal higher high, and then
2:46continue on to make a higher low, higher
2:48high, and now we have an internal break
2:50of structure. Where is that internal
2:51break of structure going? Likely we're
2:53headed to this demand area of this
2:55inducement to continue that trend
2:56bullish, to make an internal higher high
2:58and an external higher high. So, now we
3:00can map out very easily our trends.
3:02Well, we have our short-term trend is
3:04going to be bearish into this area, and
3:06then potentially bullish from here. Or,
3:08we can have multiple reads where we're
3:10going to have a bullish pullback into
3:12this supply zone. Why is it a supply
3:14zone? Because we had a bearish internal
3:16break of structure where this higher low
3:17that made the internal higher high now
3:19made an internal lower low. We are going
3:20to be now short-term bullish to get to
3:22the supply zone, mid-term bearish to get
3:25to this demand area, and then long-term
3:27bullish to make a new market higher
3:28high. So, now that we very easily at a
3:30glance notice the daily trend, the
3:32short-term, mid-term, and long-term
3:34bias, that is just speculation for the
3:36week. When we investigate lower, we'll
3:37see which roadmap is presenting. And
3:39then lastly, it's going to be liquidity.
3:41Well, that's very easy as well, because
3:42we can see we had a build-up of
3:43liquidity here. We had a sweep and an
3:45internal break of structure. And we also
3:47have a higher time frame demand area, a
3:49build-up, inducement, and a push higher.
3:52So, we are naturally between two
3:53inducement zones, and these two
3:55inducement zones are also our supply and
3:57demand area, therefore reaffirming that
3:59we might have a reaction at the supply
4:01area, head towards this demand area, and
4:03then have a bullish reaction from that
4:04area. So, we are connecting our trend,
4:06short-term, mid-term, and long-term
4:08direction connected with market traps
4:10and inducements. So, once you've done
4:12that read, you don't need to spend any
4:13more time on the daily time frame, and
4:15you can drop all the way from the daily
4:16down to the 1-hour or even M15. I like
4:19to look at as package time frames, and
4:21the higher time frame packages, whether
4:22it's weekly, monthly, daily, they all
4:24tell us a similar thing. So, from there,
4:25I can move down to the next package. So,
4:27as I'm walking through this entire week
4:28of price action, you're going to see a
4:29lot of information because I'm going to
4:31mark out every single impulse on the
4:321-minute time frame, every key time
4:34window, every inducement, every trap.
4:35It's going to be information overload.
4:37So, instead of trying to understand
4:38every candle on the 1-minute time frame
4:39for an entire week, what I've prepared
4:41for you is a handbook to take the key
4:43pieces of information for all of the
4:44trades and all of the key time windows
4:46for this week, so that you don't need to
4:48understand all the movements, you just
4:49need to understand the relevant portions
4:51that is going to be helping you either
4:53avoid losses or understand deeply the
4:54potential winning trades we're going to
4:56see, which is relevant because you're
4:57going to be seeing trade models in
4:58action with their descriptions and
5:00diagrams and full explanation, so that
5:02you don't need to always refer back to
5:03the video and break it down on the
5:041-minute time frame. You can refer back
5:06to the handbook to see the notes, the
5:07diagrams, and the chart example to see
5:09if the trade you're taking is similar to
5:11the checklist we have presented today.
5:13And it's something that you can have
5:14downloaded and ready and open as you
5:15watch this video, so you can take more
5:17value out of today's episode. So, that's
5:18in the link in the description, and
5:20let's jump back into the video. But,
5:21before I do head down to the next time
5:23frame, I want to cover a common
5:24question, which is, "Well, how do we
5:25know which one is the real trend, the
5:27real move, when you have all of these
5:29different higher highs and higher lows,
5:30different structure points, different
5:31breaks of structure, different supply
5:33and demand areas, different internal and
5:35external reads?" Well, you need to
5:36understand deeply market structure. By
5:38the way, I made an entire market
5:39structure guide, which was about 40
5:41minutes long, but to summarize it very
5:42quickly, we have green dots, which are
5:44going to be our external structure
5:46points. That means we found new
5:48territory. This higher low made an
5:50absolute higher high. Anything in
5:52between is just internal, but if we
5:54continue to make new bullish moves,
5:56still internal. This one continued to
5:58make a new bullish move, it's still
5:59internal. But then when we had the
6:01internal break of structure, then we are
6:02now internally bearish. And then we
6:04failed to make a higher high. We're not
6:06going to breaking the range anymore, so
6:08I know that this one was the external
6:10high because we are respecting it. And
6:12then tracking on from here, this build
6:13up this inducement and this bearish
6:15push, we might start to think it's a
6:17bearish market. It's not the case, it's
6:19just internal because we are still below
6:21the external high and above the external
6:24low. So, it's all internal because it's
6:25inside the external range. So, when we
6:27are trending, all the things we do
6:29inside of it is not so important. That
6:31is intraday and intrasession. So, when I
6:33see that we now break and make a new
6:35higher high of the range, the previous
6:37range is broken, and we've had a break
6:39of structure, then I know external
6:41structure has been made, and anything
6:42inside of it is naturally still
6:44internal. The interesting thing to note
6:45and a key bonus point is notice how we
6:48start to have an internal bearish break
6:49of structure where we had internal
6:51higher low, external higher high,
6:53internal lower low. Naturally, that's a
6:55break of structure. So, when we have
6:57that break of structure and you make a
6:58lower high that makes a lower low. What
7:01are people going to be thinking? People
7:02are going to be thinking, "Perfect, this
7:03is now a bearish market because we had a
7:05break of structure over here. Now, this
7:07is a bearish impulse, bearish
7:09retracement because it makes a lower
7:11high. We build up liquidity, we sweep,
7:13smart money sweep, and we make a lower
7:15low breaking the previous low. This is
7:17naturally going to be a bearish trend.
7:19And then when you come into that sweep
7:21area, that sweep order block with a fair
7:23value gap, notice how we have another
7:25build up inducement or sweep, and then
7:27bearish price action. We have a bearish
7:29trend line, we have bearish internal
7:31structure. A lot of people are going to
7:32be selling on this sweep zone, same
7:34thing, imbalance, fair value gap, smart
7:36money order block, and you're going to
7:37be looking for lower lows like so. But
7:39notice is the market does the complete
7:41opposite. when sellers are getting in,
7:43the market actually swept this
7:45liquidity, came into this previous
7:46demand area, and made a new higher high.
7:49Therefore, this last pullback before the
7:51bullish move up was a complete
7:53manipulation known as a decisional point
7:55of interest, but that's just something
7:56bonus to investigate to see even how in
7:58a clear market bullish trend, bearish
8:00participants can get confused and
8:02trapped in because they don't understand
8:03clearly trends, points of interest,
8:06internal and external structure, and the
8:08liquidity formations along the way.
8:09Because now that we did a read on the
8:11daily time frame, I'm just going to jump
8:12down to the 4-hour just to give you an
8:14update, so we're not jumping all the way
8:16down. And it was clear to see we had the
8:17daily demand area, we had this build-up,
8:19we had this sweep and inducements. That
8:22inducement into the daily demand area.
8:24So, now that we know we're in the right
8:25zone, having a manipulation that is
8:27leading to a break of structure, this is
8:29showing me bullish intent in a bullish
8:31daily trend in a bullish point of
8:33interest. This showing me alignment of
8:35buyer strength, but obviously buyer
8:36strength doesn't just go in one line all
8:38the way to a new higher high on the
8:40daily time frame. We're going to have
8:41internal trends, we're going to have
8:42manipulations, we're going to have POIs
8:44being interacted with. So, that's how
8:45we're going to navigate the week, but
8:47it's important when we start the week on
8:48the Monday, we know all of the relevant
8:50zones of interest where price is going
8:52to bounce between, manipulate between,
8:54before we end up making the new higher
8:55high on the daily time frame. So, the
8:57key things to note is we were bearish
8:59with these red dots coming into the
9:01daily demand area. Bearish meaning a
9:03pullback, so not a bearish market, it's
9:05just a bearish complex pullback into the
9:07demand area. Once we tap into that
9:09demand area, we take liquidity, we
9:10induce, and very quickly make a higher
9:13high internally. When we make that
9:14bullish break of structure, we make a
9:16higher low, a higher high, and now we
9:18are forming a lower low. Why is this a
9:21lower low? Well, it really depends where
9:22you look from. If you're looking from
9:24the low of the inducements, which is
9:26down over here, I'm just going to mark
9:27this as the range low, and I'm marking
9:29the top as the range high. When you read
9:32it like this, you might think, "Well, if
9:33we've just had a bullish impulse like so
9:35from a daily demand area having an
9:36inducement and breaking structure, then
9:38what is the difference between internal
9:40and external? Well, the difference is we
9:41notice this was one big move, but we can
9:44break it up from this internal higher
9:45low, from this internal higher high,
9:47this internal higher low, this internal
9:49higher high. So, we can break the
9:50structure over here. So, of course,
9:51liquidity is equal lows, but it was also
9:53a break of structure, but it's not a
9:55break of structure of the absolute low.
9:56It's the break of structure of an
9:58internal higher low that made a higher
9:59high, making an internal lower low.
10:01We're still inside of the range. This is
10:03the range high, this is the range low.
10:04We're still inside of it, but we are
10:06making a internal break of structure.
10:08And that internal break of structure has
10:09an objective. Where could that objective
10:11be? Naturally, it's going to be the
10:12demand area. So, when I start to look at
10:14road maps for the week, either we just
10:15go bearish straight away down to the
10:17range low, down to that demand area, and
10:19then we have the bullish impulse. That
10:20could be one valid road map. Another
10:22valid road map could be we start to have
10:24the bullish climb first for the week. We
10:27arrive to the supply area. Why is this a
10:29supply area? Because we built up
10:31liquidity, we induced, and we broke
10:33internal structure. So, it's a bearish
10:35lower low, lower high retracement, and
10:37going on to make a lower low down to
10:39that demand area, and then we go and
10:40make a new higher high. These are two
10:42equally valid road maps on how we begin
10:44the week. So, when we come into the
10:45Monday and Tuesday, we need to
10:46understand are we going to be the first
10:48road map, which is going down to the
10:49demand area and we look for buys, or is
10:51it going to be first we go to the supply
10:53area and then we look for sales down to
10:55the demand area, then again we switch to
10:56bullish. This is how you build
10:57frameworks for when you begin the week,
10:59navigating between inducements. So, we
11:01have this inducement over here and this
11:03inducement over here, navigating between
11:04points of interest, this supply zone,
11:06this demand area, and navigating between
11:08short-term, mid-term, and long-term
11:10objectives, which is these road maps
11:11that we have. Now, once we've built the
11:13framework for the week, we don't need to
11:14revisit the higher time frames for the
11:15entire week unless we start to break
11:17really higher and the market conditions
11:19change. So, from now on, once we can
11:20stay on the lower time frame and simply
11:22navigate the daily cycle variations as
11:24we go throughout the week. So, actually,
11:26the last thing to do is actually read
11:28this bearish portion. We know this POI
11:30and why it exists. We know this POI and
11:32why it exists. I just want to understand
11:33the most recent move and how it happened
11:36from the previous week and try to
11:38understand the moves inside of it. So,
11:39I'm going to jump down to M15 and we
11:41already know what happened. We already
11:42broke structure internally, already had
11:44this build up, this inducement, this
11:46internal break of structure cuz this was
11:47a higher low internally that made the
11:49higher high that took the liquidity of
11:51the previous highs and then we broke
11:53structure and made an internal lower
11:54low. And then once we had that, we built
11:56up liquidity, Asia high, high of
11:58previous day, we induced it and then we
12:00broke structure, breaking the previous
12:01low. So, we can see inducement leads to
12:03a break of structure. This inducement
12:05leads to a break of structure and then
12:06we have this rounding off, not a clear
12:08inducement, breaking structure once
12:10again. This information is going to be
12:11useful because I don't want to mark out
12:13my inducements because these will be
12:14zones of interactions for the coming
12:16week. So, I'm just going to mark these
12:17out and from here all the way down, we
12:20have one last inducement which is this
12:21area over here, not interesting for us
12:24or not super interesting because they're
12:25very minor inducements. It's just taking
12:27high of London, but I'm going to mark it
12:28out to help me navigate the current
12:30week. Very simply, that's it. Now we've
12:32done our full top-down analysis. Now we
12:34can go on the M1 time frame and walk
12:36through the entire week, reacting to
12:37each one of these zones and as we create
12:39new manipulations, new traps, we'll
12:41navigate them accordingly. So, first
12:43off, we're going to start off with
12:44Frankfurt open on this day on the Monday
12:46that we can see. We are very far away
12:47from our demand area that we're
12:49targeting and we're also quite far away
12:51from the immediate supply zone. So, for
12:53now, we have no information. All we know
12:55is one rule, any proximal zone to Asia
12:58high or Asia low is not really relevant.
13:00It's just a tail end lower high that
13:02made a lower low. It doesn't meet the
13:03criteria of a point of interest. Why?
13:05Because it doesn't have a depth of
13:07retracement, it doesn't have a duration
13:09of the point of interest, and it doesn't
13:10have an inducement inside of it. It's a
13:12very weak point of interest, so it's
13:13going to have no interest for me,
13:14especially because of how close it is to
13:16Asia high. This is a zone to really
13:17consider as a smart money trap,
13:19specifically when it's happening at
13:21Frankfurt open. So, when we have a
13:22manipulation most likely here, this is
13:24going to set a a for me so I can
13:26actually play the first candles. I want
13:27to wait for New York open. So, as we
13:29start the day, I'm going to approach my
13:31London key time window, which is this
13:32dotted line, 8:00 UK time. I want to
13:34wait for that, and I'm going to fast
13:36forward on M15. I'm receiving the
13:37Frankfurt open has already trapped in
13:39that supply zone. This lower high that
13:41made a lower low, people are seeing Asia
13:42high liquidity already taken out. And
13:44now we're arriving to the key time
13:46window, which is London open. So, as we
13:48arrive to that key time window, now I
13:49can drop down to M1, and I start to
13:51realize, okay, now we can build a
13:52potential framework. Is anything valid?
13:55I'm not trying to look for an
13:55opportunity every window. Every time I'm
13:57looking for lower time frame
13:58confirmations, you start off with a
14:00trade ideal, and then you look at the
14:01key time window and the lower time frame
14:03to execute upon the ideal. So, when I
14:05look at that, I don't start off with M1.
14:07I start to say, "Where am I? Have I got
14:09an inducement of control? Have I got the
14:11inducement of the day? Have I got an
14:12objective?" And the answers to all of
14:14these questions on this key time window
14:15is no. I don't have a clear objective
14:17because I could be going towards this
14:19supply zone. I could be targeting the
14:20liquidity of this supply zone, or I
14:22could be targeting down this demand
14:23area. So, I don't have a clear objective
14:25or direction. In terms of liquidity or
14:27inducements, yes, we've taken liquidity
14:29of this smart money trap, but I'm not
14:31seeing rejection. I don't have a clear
14:32liquidity target. So, that's not ideal
14:34either. So, unless I have a clear medium
14:36inducement or major inducement or a
14:38clear direction or a clear target or a
14:40clear manipulation to entice in
14:42liquidity or take liquidity, then I know
14:44this is not a key time window that I'm
14:45interested in. So, usually I'm just
14:47going to walk away. Instead of looking
14:48at the key time window and trying to
14:49fight M1, fight my emotions, and trying
14:52to find clarity, exercise patience, the
14:54reality is there's going to be a low
14:55quality opportunity if there's going to
14:57be an opportunity. So, save your mental
14:58capital and just walk away. So, in fact,
15:00we just play the key time window, don't
15:02stress out, and don't get caught up in
15:04all of this mess on the lower time
15:06frame. And we start to see, okay, we had
15:07a bit of a rejection price stalling in
15:10this area. Why was it stalling in this
15:12area? Is it an important area? No,
15:14because this was the low that was
15:16broken. The low was broken from this
15:18area, so it is a form of decisional, but
15:21it's not with the objective or trends
15:22that we see, and this doesn't have
15:24depth, the duration, and inducement in
15:26the point of interest. So, it's not
15:27really a key important zone for me. So,
15:29I knew that this was not a zone of
15:30interest. So, if we don't have trend, I
15:32don't have direction, I don't have a
15:33zone of interest, then there's no point
15:34me looking at the key time window,
15:36forcing myself to not take a trade,
15:37knowing it's low quality. So, what we do
15:39from here is just wait for the next key
15:41time window, and we see we arrive to a
15:43supply zone that could be relevant, but
15:44it's not at the right time. So, I know
15:46it's unlikely to give a favorable move.
15:48Now, we arrive to the New York key time
15:50window as we're approaching New York
15:51open, and I want to see the preparation.
15:54Now, we're in the key time window, what
15:56could there be? Now, this could be
15:57something a bit more interesting because
15:58we have a supply zone that is taken out.
16:00So, we have a medium inducement. We have
16:02a seller's early reaction also taken out
16:05around New York open, but we don't have
16:07a clear target, and we don't have a
16:08clear trend. So, when I jump up to a
16:091-hour time frame, I can start to see we
16:11are in a mixed objective because
16:13remember the road maps we made at the
16:14beginning of the week, we said we could
16:16either be bullish short-term to go to
16:18one of these supply areas, mid-term
16:21bearish to go to this demand area, and
16:23long-term bullish to make a new higher
16:24high. That was one of the road maps, but
16:26we also had another road map, which is
16:28we are in a bearish pullback because we
16:29made this low, we might just continue
16:32bearish. So, when we have two equally
16:34valid road maps that are at the same
16:35point to giving two outcomes, from here,
16:38we could go bearish or we could go
16:40bullish. This is known as an inflection
16:42point. I do not want to be trading at
16:44inflection points because it's hard to
16:46know which one to pick. You're just
16:47flipping a coin and saying this side
16:49over that side. Rather than trying to
16:50understand decode it, rather know this
16:52is a low quality area, you're going to
16:54find a low quality opportunity, or
16:55you're just going to be picking one or
16:57the other. Better save your mental
16:58capital and wait for a better zone. So,
17:01this is not one to skip totally. This is
17:03just a confusing zone. So, what I'd
17:04rather do, instead of sitting it out
17:05altogether because it is a low quality
17:08opportunity, but not an invalid
17:09opportunity like the previous key time
17:11window, I'm going to be more likely
17:13neutral, but I might observe and see is
17:15there telltale signs for me to see which
17:17road map is more likely, which one I can
17:20at least catch a pocket of opportunity
17:21even if I don't get the whole move, I
17:23might get a one to three reaction trade.
17:25And the foundations are there because
17:26we've got a medium inducement because
17:28this point of interest on the M15 was
17:30taken out. So once we induce it and we
17:33start to reject, this might show me we
17:34have a potential opportunity now. And
17:36upon further inspection, we can see that
17:38supply zone getting induced, the medium
17:40inducement at the key time window. We
17:42can say we had a inducement at a
17:43relevant time of a relevant place. So
17:46these are good things and more
17:47importantly, we start to see we have a
17:49internal break of structure. So if we
17:51have an internal break of structure
17:52after an inducement, this shows me
17:54rejection and it happens at the key time
17:56window. And more importantly, we get a
17:58minor inducement here of this wick. This
18:00inducement on the minute of the key time
18:02window leading to another internal break
18:04of structure. So now we have two legs
18:05bearish with an inducement, a medium
18:08inducement, and then a minor inducement
18:10on the open of the key time window. This
18:11is good inducement, good time window,
18:14and good rejection. Now I need to see
18:15can I take this trinity of confluences,
18:17the three main things that I look for
18:19and convert it into a trade. So what do
18:21I need to do is understand my execution
18:23criteria from a valid opportunity. And
18:25that criteria is going to be I need to
18:27find a refined IFC, which means in the
18:29second leg bearish, so this was the
18:31first one, medium inducement, internal
18:33break of structure, then we had a lower
18:34high, which was another inducement that
18:37made this lower low. I need to find in
18:39the second leg a refined IFC. And I look
18:41for it and I say in the key time window,
18:43I have time, I still have half of the
18:44window. to find that refined IFC. And
18:46that refined IFC needs to be around this
18:48inducement candle. And I see okay, is it
18:51here? Well, no because I don't have an
18:53imbalance. Is it here? No, I don't have
18:55an imbalance. Here? No, I don't have an
18:56imbalance. The entire way down, I have
18:58zero imbalances, zero fair value gaps,
19:01which shows me lack of intent. It's not
19:03about trading the pattern or trading the
19:05fair value gap, it's understanding if I
19:07have intention, which is inducement,
19:09which means I've got all of this
19:10liquidity, I've got all of this power in
19:12the markets, I should see a reaction.
19:14Not just breaks of structure, I should
19:15see reactions with intent because we had
19:17a imbalance over here, a large imbalance
19:19over here. There is imbalances all the
19:21time. So, if you're seeing imbalances at
19:22normal zones and then after a medium
19:24inducement you see no imbalances at the
19:26key time window when there is
19:27volatility, this shows me this is
19:29unlikely to be a valid move because
19:31there is no intention behind the price
19:33action. We're not trading patterns
19:35blindly, we're trying to see the
19:36intentions and I'm not seeing any
19:37intention over here. So, unfortunately
19:40this is not valid. Even though it's
19:41close, it's just not close enough to a
19:43tradeable opportunity. All of the trades
19:45that I'm showing you that I've taken
19:46this week is something that the entire
19:48community is doing supported by our
19:50predefined setups and trade models. So,
19:52you're not trading random confluences
19:53and independently hoping someone figures
19:55it out. Rather, everyone in the
19:56community is trading aligned. We have
19:58the same strategy, same reads, same
20:00confluences, same confirmations, and the
20:02daily live streams to make sure we are
20:03all orientated aligned in the same way,
20:05which means the entire community takes
20:07all of the same winning trades on a
20:09regular basis leading to large levels of
20:11funding and regular payouts within the
20:13community as you've now been seeing for
20:14years on this channel. So, if you'd like
20:16to be part of our entire ecosystem where
20:18we do one-on-one coaching, I'd encourage
20:20you to click the link in the description
20:21to apply for WWE Trading. The reason it
20:24is application only and you need to fill
20:25out an application form is because we
20:27get thousands of application. You see
20:29the hundreds of thousands of views this
20:30channel gets, but we only select a
20:32handful of people because there's only
20:33so many hours in the day that we can do
20:35one-on-one coaching. So, I would
20:37encourage you to fill the application
20:38form in as much detail as possible to
20:40see why we should consider you. And my
20:41promise to you is even if we are not
20:42selecting you and we don't work
20:43together, that will leave you better
20:45than we found you because we're going to
20:46be giving you some resources and goodies
20:48to help you along the way. But
20:49hopefully, I see you on a Zoom call
20:51very, very soon. So, I'm going to still
20:53watch to see does it convert into
20:54something important. Maybe I get another
20:56inducement, maybe I get another leg
20:57lower and I start to see okay, price
21:00violently reverses on me. Violently goes
21:03the other direction. And when I see this
21:06whipsawing, this is showing me this lack
21:08of clarity. Yes, there was a inducement,
21:11but it was not sustained. It was not
21:12settled because in the same way we had
21:14all of this build up to the low, we had
21:17this clear inducement, and we have a
21:18strong bullish push up breaking past the
21:21previous inducement zone. So, this was
21:22correct for me to understand not to take
21:25because no inducement meant no trade, no
21:27imbalance meant no trade, and then in
21:29the end it would have been a loss
21:30because price induced lower and then
21:32took over that zone. So, now we are in
21:33between two inducement zones where we
21:35have this inducement low, we have this
21:37previous inducement high. Price is
21:39reacting in this demand area of that
21:40inducement. So, what now I'm locked
21:42between two intentions. You know how I
21:44always say that the market is a game of
21:46tug-of-war between buyers and sellers.
21:48Both are pulling, both are trying. We
21:50need to see who's going to win that
21:51battle. First, you had a medium
21:52inducement, sellers were winning. Then
21:55you had a build up and inducement in the
21:56key time window, buyers are winning. And
21:58now you're locked between both zones.
22:00You've hit the bearish inducement point
22:02of interest, you've hit the bullish
22:03point of interest, the inducement zone,
22:05and now we need to see who's going to
22:06win that battle. Now, I suspect it's
22:08going to be the buyers because we had a
22:10sellers inducement, another inducement
22:12and mitigation, and we don't even break
22:14structure and make a low. However, the
22:16buyers are doing a build up over here,
22:18an inducement over here, a break of
22:20structure internally over here, a
22:21mitigation with another inducement. This
22:23shows me that most likely the buyers are
22:25going to win this battle. So, I'm not
22:27going to be taking any trade. Now, this
22:29zone over here could be traded if it was
22:31the key time window because I can start
22:33to see this is a smart money zone
22:35failure. I'm starting to see these zones
22:37where sellers are going to be loaded up,
22:39sellers are going to be interested is
22:40actually most likely a trap. Why?
22:42Because you've had a medium inducement
22:44with no reaction, no strength, and in
22:45reality what we do know is buyers are in
22:48control because we call it a medium
22:49inducement, but in reality for what it
22:51is right now, it's a bullish break of
22:53structure. This was a previous lower
22:54high that made a lower low, a supply
22:56zone, and now we broke it. Not only did
22:58we break it, we had a failure of
23:00inducement and a bullish inducement, a
23:02bullish inducement, and bullish moves
23:04higher. Most likely, buyers are going to
23:06win this battle. This is market
23:07mechanics. This is understanding
23:09intention and control. There is a
23:10difference between what we see and what
23:12we trade, and therefore this became a
23:14non-traded opportunity because it
23:15doesn't meet the criteria of lower
23:17timeframe confirmation, time window, and
23:19meaningful inducement. Market mechanics
23:21made sense. The market moved exactly
23:23from my point of interest, and a lot of
23:25amateur traders might get excited over
23:27here and say, "Yes, it makes sense. It
23:29meets my confluence. This is let me jump
23:30in." But confluence is not a strategy.
23:32Confluence is not a professional trader.
23:35Confluence is just taking things you
23:36know and throwing it at the market and
23:38hope it plays. It's not something that
23:39is predefined or tested. Although the
23:41confluence do make sense, we had a
23:42London close on the minute play on a
23:44inducement domino effect induce number
23:46one, induce number two, mitigation.
23:48Everything made sense. The trap played
23:50out. The sellers got trapped in. It was
23:52not a trade we could take, but we
23:54understood the move, and that's the main
23:56part. Once we've done the Monday read,
23:57no trade we saw, we understood all of
23:59the price action. However, now we have
24:01information going into the next day.
24:02Okay, so let's quickly revisit the
24:04one-hour timeframe as we go into the
24:05next day, which is of the roadmaps that
24:07we knew, we now have a clear one of
24:09control. We know which one is most
24:11likely going to be happening now, which
24:13is now that we've had an internal break
24:15of structure, we had this lower high
24:17that made a lower low, which is now made
24:19an internal higher high. We've had this
24:21bullish impulse. We're more likely going
24:22to be bullish to one of these supply
24:24zones, and then we're going to go to the
24:25demand area down here, and then we're
24:27going to be bullish. So we are
24:29short-term bullish, mid-term bearish,
24:31long-term bullish. This was the first
24:33roadmap that we spoke about. Now we
24:35don't have confusion for the week. At
24:37least the Monday, even if there was no
24:38trade, set a foundation for what's most
24:40likely happening for this week. So with
24:41that framework in mind, I now know the
24:43impulse that is in control right now is
24:45this. This can be my temporary range
24:47low. This can be my temporary range
24:48high, and my target is going to be
24:50either this supply zone or this supply
24:52zone, which we mentioned earlier. So now
24:54I have a framework, a direction, a
24:56target. Now I just need to find
24:57inducement in my direction, trend in my
24:59direction, points of interest in my
25:01direction, and then start to look for
25:02trade opportunities. And before we get
25:04into the M1, I always like to do a daily
25:06cycle read, and that's going to be
25:07understanding from the impulse of
25:08control we have for now, which is not a
25:10major impulse because it's not coming
25:12from a POI, it doesn't have an
25:13inducement. It's a temporary one, but I
25:15know I'm most likely looking for a
25:16replication of this move. Where is that
25:18going to be happening from? It's going
25:19to be happening from a decisional or
25:21extreme. The extreme is down here, and
25:23the decisional is the last pullback
25:25before we had the break of structure.
25:26So, it's going to be around here. Now,
25:28this doesn't meet the quality points of
25:30interest I usually want to be trading,
25:31especially the decisional because yes,
25:33it's a pullback before a break of
25:34structure, but it doesn't have a deep
25:36retracement. The depth of retracement
25:38doesn't have a long duration that I
25:39usually want to see, and it doesn't have
25:41an inducement. So, it meets none of the
25:42three criteria, so it's a valid
25:44decisional, but unlikely to be a high
25:45probability, high quality one. So, I'm
25:47just going to mark it out and see what
25:49happens when we arrive there. What I'm
25:50more interested in understanding is once
25:52we had the high of yesterday, we have
25:54now made liquidity over here, and the
25:56liquidity we're forming over here might
25:57entice early buyers because they're
25:59going to be seeing a sweep of Asia low,
26:02and that sweep of Asia low is going to
26:03invite in early buyers, which will be a
26:05target. So, most likely I'm going to see
26:07this low of Frankfurt being attacked,
26:09and at least I have an initial target
26:11for London key time window. It's not
26:13aligning for a full setup, but at least
26:14I can start to understand where price is
26:16at least headed next. The reason I don't
26:17know where it's headed next entirely is
26:19because I don't have an inducement of
26:20control, I don't have the inducement of
26:21the day. That's what I'm going to be
26:23searching for initially.
26:24What I do know is this points of
26:26interest is going to fail. This point of
26:28interest is most likely a smart money
26:30trap, and this stalling of yesterday
26:32could hold price, but when it's so close
26:34to Asia low, it's invalid for me, so I'm
26:35going to be waiting on this decisional
26:37as my only decision opportunity. Okay,
26:39getting into now the Frankfurt window,
26:41we can see we are loading up buyers in
26:43this area, and as we approach the London
26:46key time window, I want to understand
26:47where is price headed. I don't have an
26:49inducement of control. Now I have it.
26:51That smart money trap that I was very
26:53confident in because nine times out of
26:5510 a sweep at Frankfurt open of
26:57something that is not relevant, for
26:58example, just Asia low is most likely
27:00going to be a trap. So now I have a
27:02smart money trap sweep during my London
27:04open of a Frankfurt smart money trap
27:07zone. This is giving me inducements. I
27:09also have direction in mind, but I need
27:10to have quality confirmations. Let's see
27:13as we approach this key time window,
27:14does this convert into any meaningful
27:16opportunity? So let's go through the key
27:18time window. So as we open the key time
27:19window, we are still forming lows. We
27:21are still printing that inducement, so I
27:23need to first lock in the inducement and
27:25differentiate it from just bearish. So
27:27what that means is we sweep the
27:28liquidity of the smart money trap and
27:30then we have a confident intentional
27:32reaction the other way. If we don't have
27:33that, then it's just simply bearish
27:35price action cuz if this is where it
27:36starts to get a bit interesting because
27:38now I can start to see we had the
27:40bearish impulse lower to sweep
27:42liquidity. Then we started to get
27:43rejection, meaning we made an internal
27:45push bullish. We didn't continue lower.
27:47We failed to make a lower low and we
27:49made an internal higher high. So when we
27:50see that, we now see we have two legs
27:52bullish in the key time window after an
27:54inducement. However, although we could
27:56look to trade from somewhere over here,
27:58problem once again is is there a fair
27:59value gap or imbalance? No, there is
28:01not. So a failure of showing intention
28:05through an imbalance is a weakness. And
28:07secondarily, we have the efficiency of
28:08the pullback. This retracement before
28:10making the low is our efficiency of the
28:12pullback. You can also be a bit
28:13aggressive and say even if it's that
28:15imbalance, whichever one you decide,
28:17price has already hit the supply level
28:18of a bearish market. So therefore, for
28:21all we know, this could be bearish,
28:23complex pullback bullish, mitigation of
28:25supply zone, continue bearish. So I
28:27don't want to be buying if there's no
28:29imbalance and there is no intent. We
28:31haven't broke structure. We haven't got
28:32a lower time frame confirmation. So this
28:33is a key time window you just simply
28:35walk away. Even if it plays out bullish,
28:37it's not worth trading. And there we go.
28:38Price did go bullish, but without
28:40confirmations and a restricted trader is
28:42a profitable trader. We follow the plan,
28:44not our feelings, and this is how you
28:45avoid invalid losses. Today it played,
28:48tomorrow I may fail. Over the long-term
28:49horizon is not a confluence, it's not a
28:51setup, it's not a strategy. So, even if
28:53you miss out on one or two trades, it's
28:54okay because it's going to save you in
28:56the long term. What I would do from here
28:57is know that the key time window is
28:59gone, there's no opportunity for me. I'm
29:00going to fast-forward to the next one
29:02now, which is going to be New York. And
29:03observing through, we can see there was
29:04no clarity and there was no trade. Price
29:06did give a bullish reaction but ended up
29:08failing. So, if you were in the trade or
29:09chasing the trade or having FOMO, you
29:11would have taken a couple of losses.
29:12This is how you turn an amateur trader
29:14into a failing trader because you
29:15allowed the emotions to lead, lack of
29:17clarity, trading systems leading to
29:18overall going on tilt, and having
29:20back-to-back losses that could be
29:21totally avoided. But, when we focus on
29:23the market intentions now, we can see
29:25this previous zone where price went
29:27bullish yesterday has now given a
29:28reaction. And most important is given a
29:30reaction from a relevant area of
29:32yesterday. And it also built up
29:33liquidity and also induced into that
29:35area. And I love the fact that we also
29:37took liquidity of this previous
29:40zone and Frankfurt low. So, we've built
29:42up liquidity, built up liquidity,
29:44induced into a demand area, and given an
29:46internal bullish push because we had
29:48this lower high that made this lower
29:50low, now making internal higher high.
29:52We've now had an internal bullish break
29:54of structure. And we've had the
29:55mitigation, so I want to see where we're
29:57headed now as we approach the next key
29:58time window. But, it's forming in a nice
30:00way. We have inducement bullish, and
30:02then we have mitigation and new bullish
30:04push. So, we have trend and direction
30:06led by an inducement. So, this could be
30:07now interesting for this day or for this
30:09key time window. But, of course, it's
30:10important to understand intentions also.
30:13And the intentions for here is showing
30:14me that we have a lot of liquidity right
30:16here. All of this liquidity that's
30:18currently being taken. When we have all
30:20of these touches during Asia, we have
30:22this equal high over here, we have
30:23London high, we have the New York high,
30:25we have the pre-New York high, and then
30:27we have this area that could be
30:28considered an inducement. So, we have an
30:29inducement low that could go bullish,
30:31but we also have a build-up and
30:33inducement high that could go bearish
30:34down to these areas or just completely
30:36lower because remember this is not a
30:37point of interest that we like. The
30:39decisional is. So, we could be inducing
30:41to go down to our decisional. So, I
30:43don't want to be caught up buying when
30:44we haven't got full clarity just yet.
30:46So, coming into the key time window, I
30:48need to understand is this a bullish
30:49break and a bullish follow through, or
30:51is this simply a bearish inducement
30:53happening in real time? And the clarity
30:55for that is going to be time window,
30:56which we're approaching. I need to now
30:58see intention and rejection. And this is
31:00very clear intention. We have the
31:02inducement of all of the build-up on the
31:03left, not only inducing this level, but
31:06the Asia levels and the London levels.
31:07And then we get a push lower,
31:09mitigation, respecting this liquidity,
31:12respecting this potential demand area,
31:14allowing buyers to get in, and then
31:16quickly inducing lower. So, now we are
31:17breaking structure. And therefore, that
31:19tells me that these sellers have control
31:22and have intention for now. It doesn't
31:24need to be long-term, but at least for
31:25the immediate moment or for the key time
31:27window, sellers are in control and they
31:29could take price to at least this demand
31:31area over here. Realistically, if
31:32they've taken control and they've done a
31:34meaningful inducement, the likelihood is
31:36price is not going to go to the first
31:37demand area. It might start going lower
31:39and lower all the way down to our
31:40decisional. That could be the move of
31:42the session. Therefore, I'm interested
31:43to see can I capitalize on a sell? And
31:45of course, if price is really bearish
31:47and doesn't give me an opportunity to
31:49get in. Yes, I understand the move. We
31:50have an inducement, we have a break of
31:52structure, we have key time window. We
31:54just don't have lower time frame
31:55confirmation, we don't have an
31:56opportunity to get in, and therefore
31:57this is a missed trade. We understand
31:59it, but we couldn't trade it. And that's
32:00fine. Understanding each move in the
32:02market like we basically have all the
32:04way so far is a strong step in the right
32:06direction because before you can trade
32:08price successfully, you need to
32:09understand everything that's going on.
32:10So, now I can see we're coming back into
32:12that previous demand area, that previous
32:13inducement area. I want to see will
32:15there be any strength from buyers in
32:17this zone as we still have most of the
32:19key time window left. And I can see we
32:21are hanging around, but there's no real
32:22clarity for me here. There's no
32:24imbalances, there's no real strong
32:26inducement. Yes, we induced the low over
32:28here, so we could say potentially this
32:29is a minor inducement that we see. And
32:32we do get a bit of a bullish internal
32:33rejection, but it's wicks everywhere.
32:35There's no real clarity for me. And
32:37naturally, for now, we are between two
32:39inducement zones, the inducement high
32:40and the inducement low. Okay, and it
32:42gives a bullish reaction, which that
32:43inducement should have given, but you
32:44don't want to be trading one way or the
32:46other. The inducements tell us who's in
32:48control for now, but it doesn't mean
32:49permanent control. These are
32:50facilitators. So, we see this inducement
32:53allowed price to break these levels,
32:55break these levels, and make a low. Once
32:58we broke low, this inducement allowed
32:59price to retrace, come and take the
33:01liquidity over here, mitigate this
33:03supply zone that allowed the break of
33:04structure internally, and then continue
33:06price lower. So, each inducement has a
33:08purpose. This one was not to make a
33:10bullish market. It was simply to allow a
33:12bullish reaction. Now that we see the
33:13sellers are still in control, this now
33:15gives me clarity, but I want to revisit
33:17and understand what's going on. Why are
33:19we ping-ponging without clarity? And
33:20that's when I start to see we are now
33:22approaching a medium inducement level,
33:24especially because we had a break of
33:26structure yesterday, a test, and a
33:28continue higher. This becomes the break
33:30test liquidity, gives me an opportunity
33:32for a meaningful inducement, and we are
33:34also taking low of the day so far, and
33:37Asia low, of course. So, now, if we have
33:38a meaningful inducement area, the break
33:41test, and we are approaching the London
33:42close, the dotted line over here, 4:00
33:44p.m. London time, this could now give me
33:47a potential rejection. Unlikely to be a
33:49quality move, but something worth
33:50monitoring, because at times, this can
33:52give us a nice 1:3. And for now, there's
33:54no control, there's no clarity, because
33:56for now, we are just simply making low,
33:58high, maintaining the low, maintaining
34:01the high, and now we are starting to
34:02break. So, now I can start to see
34:03control, because we have one push,
34:05second push. And when we start to read
34:07into that a little bit further, we have
34:09the first push, the retracement, and the
34:11second push. We now have two legs. It's
34:13not a full lower time frame
34:14confirmation, but when we have a
34:15inducement of control at the end of the
34:17day, it's towards London close, and we
34:19have a clear target, which is this
34:21previous inducement supply zone of New
34:23York window, the one that allowed the
34:25bearish move so far. We have a
34:26framework. This can be a aggressive
34:28setup, for sure, as a market mechanics,
34:30because you would the entry on the
34:32candle closure, you cover the low, and
34:34you simply target the last inducement,
34:37which is up here. And it's exactly
34:38around a 1:3, which is usually my first
34:40take profit level. So, I would cap it at
34:42the 1:3 right here. This would be our
34:44London close trade as such. Market
34:46mechanics, not ideal for lower time
34:48frame confirmation, not ideal for key
34:49time window, but you are simply
34:51understanding control and traps. And we
34:53can see that a break test inducement is
34:55going to be stronger than any liquidity
34:56supporting this level. Therefore, this
34:58becomes a trap zone. And when we get a
35:00strong impulse engulfing candle in a
35:02trap zone after an inducement and clear
35:04targets, this can potentially be an
35:06opportunity. So, you execute on the
35:07candle closure, you protect the low, and
35:09you don't do a break even in this
35:10scenario. It's either take profit or
35:12stop loss because of the no lower time
35:15frame confirmation entry type. So,
35:16London close does give us the volatility
35:18to
35:19allow this trade to play. And then as we
35:21approach the end of the day, it kind of
35:23goes flat, which is why I don't love
35:24these trades. But it does give me that
35:261:3, which is at least what I wanted. Or
35:29actually, not just yet. We are just shy
35:31of it. Let's see if it plays towards it.
35:35I mean, this is just one or two pips
35:36away. This is where it gets a bit tense
35:38cuz it retraces now. But you allowed the
35:40market to do its thing. You don't need
35:41to over manage it. So, in the end, this
35:43trade was a 1:2.8 risk reward. Take
35:45profit level is 1:3, so it was just shy.
35:48So, this is a very unfortunate but
35:49realistic situation. And in the end, you
35:51would could make the decision to say at
35:52the end of the day, as we start approach
35:54the Asia range, you could just put the
35:55break even, and then you would have no
35:57loss. But I'll leave that for you to
35:58decide what you think would be best. But
36:00in my opinion, in these situations, you
36:01either leave it for a take profit or you
36:03leave it for a stop loss, especially
36:04when it's a market mechanics no lower
36:06time frame execution type. You're just
36:07doing a market execution. It's best to
36:09just leave it. Okay. Now, going on to
36:11the next day. Again, starting off the
36:13day with Frankfurt open. You can see we
36:14had a whipsaw. A whipsaw means you
36:17induce low and you induce high. When you
36:19induce Asia high and Asia low, and you
36:20don't have a clear trend, you don't have
36:21a clear direction, which we don't. We
36:23know we are bullish for now because we
36:25have the green arrow over here. Ideally,
36:26we go to the decision or demand area, or
36:28we take a lot of this liquidity, which
36:30we haven't. We've just taken Asia high.
36:31So, for now, we don't have a clear
36:32inducement of the day. We don't have a
36:34clear direction, and we don't have a
36:35point of interest. So, for now, we don't
36:37have clarity. So, going into the London
36:38window, I'm just going to be completely
36:40neutral and trying to understand and
36:41establish control. What I often find,
36:43however, is Frankfurt's low being swept
36:46is ideal, especially when the
36:48Frankfurt's low is sweeping Asia low on
36:51the minute of Frankfurt open. This is
36:53nine times out of 10 a smart money trap.
36:55So, with the Asia high liquidity that's
36:56just been taken, that can be the
36:57catalyst to allow price to come lower
36:59into our demand area. So, this
37:01inducement will trap in the buyers in
37:03this demand area, the smart money
37:04sweeps, smart money traders, and then
37:06take them lower. So, that would be a
37:08nice framework so far. Not tradeable,
37:10it's just what's likely to happen, but
37:12it's not a trade model. And you can see
37:14exactly what we wanted. We come into the
37:16Frankfurt sweep order block. We get a
37:18bullish reaction to load in more buyers
37:20on London open. You give them the
37:21internal break of structure. We make a
37:23higher high. Wait for the higher lows.
37:24Oh, we know reality is this is unlikely
37:26to be a sustained move. We're really
37:28loading up the buyers for now. We're
37:29getting bullish trend. We're getting
37:31bullish trend lines.
37:34And there we have it eventually. Took a
37:36bit of time, but we eventually grabbed
37:38the liquidity of the smart money traders
37:40who was trading that order block and
37:41sweep. That did not have any intention
37:43or control behind it. So, now I can
37:45start to build a framework because now
37:46we have information, which is we've
37:48taken all of this liquidity of the break
37:50test zone, Asia low, and smart money
37:52trap. So, when we've taken all of that
37:54liquidity, we can now potentially say,
37:55"Is this an inducement right here?" When
37:58I ask myself if this is an inducement, I
37:59want to understand where am I? And I do
38:01have the nice factor, which is I had
38:03this last pullback before the break of
38:05structure. So, if we have a last
38:07pullback before break of structure, this
38:08is a decisional. We've now had a
38:10decisional demand area developed, price
38:12arriving into the decisional area, and
38:13doing a Asia low sweep, a smart money
38:15trap sweep, and all of lower previous
38:17day, and the break test. So, this is a
38:19really nice inducement, but the problem
38:21is it's not in the key time window and
38:23we don't have rejection yet. But we can
38:24start to see we could see bullish
38:25control from here because it would make
38:27sense from a daily cycle perspective.
38:29Now let's see if we get any rejection
38:31and control after this meaningful
38:33inducement. And the way I want to do
38:34that is understand where our points of
38:36traps and manipulation for the sellers
38:38in the other direction. And the other
38:40direction sellers are going to be
38:41waiting for this idea of we've had the
38:44market high fails to make a low, makes a
38:46lower high, makes a lower low. So I'm
38:48going to be waiting for sellers to react
38:50in this area from the decisional and
38:51extreme of that sellers move. And this
38:53is where sellers are going to get
38:55trapped and maybe where I can get a buy
38:56opportunity. So first of all we have an
38:58internal break of structure. This is
38:59perfect. This could be traded if you
39:02trade it in zero break of structures,
39:03but we don't have key time window and we
39:04don't have imbalance. A lack of
39:06imbalance is not ideal. So already even
39:08though this could be a trade, it is not
39:09a trade. It's not valid. And then we
39:11come into that supply trap. We want to
39:13see sellers getting drawn in like so,
39:15exactly like this. When you get sellers
39:17drawn in on a sellers zone, they're
39:18targeting a low because they see break
39:20of structure, lower high decisional, go
39:22on to make a lower low. So this is where
39:24sellers are going to be getting drawn
39:25in. I now want to see buyers control.
39:27And for the buyers control all I need to
39:29see is an inducement. We don't have that
39:31yet. We're still drawing in sellers. So
39:33this is actually interesting. We are now
39:34getting another attempt for sellers to
39:36get in. If the first lot didn't get in
39:38or they hit stop loss already or break
39:40even, now they are really getting drawn
39:41in. And now we've engineered a low which
39:44I really like. This engineered low is
39:46somewhere that can be a liquidity target
39:47for the inducement I'm looking for. So
39:49if now we can induce below this area and
39:51we get an inducement somewhere in this
39:53box, then I know I've seen control
39:54because I've seen the inducement that
39:56was relevant in my decisional demand
39:57area. Sellers getting engineered and
40:00then if I induce once again, I can now
40:01find a nice buy opportunity. And we have
40:04it exactly here. Not where I predicted
40:06it, but we now have induced that
40:07engineered low. And now what I want to
40:09do is because I'm not in the key time
40:11window, is just check the correlated
40:12pair. Right now I'm on GU. I want to see
40:14how EU who looking. And this is exactly
40:16where my interest peaks now, because I
40:18can see there's a clear divergence where
40:20we are forming a higher low in the
40:22inducement box and where we have a low
40:24and then a higher low, but here we have
40:26a low and a lower low. That temporary
40:28D-peg known as a divergence after I'm
40:30getting my inducement and then second
40:32engineered inducement on this trap gives
40:34me the confirmation. Either I use a
40:36lower time frame confirmation model or I
40:38use a engulfing. So, that's exactly what
40:40we wait for as an execution criteria
40:42now. Wait for the 5-minute candle to
40:44engulf, which is exactly what we have.
40:45And on that engulfing I can market
40:47execute and take another trade right
40:49here. On the engulfing over this low for
40:51a 6-pip stop loss, target the 1:3 as our
40:54TP1. And the reason we don't do full
40:56take profit at TP1, rather we do TP1 and
40:59TP2 is because this is with the trend.
41:01Because we now have a clear objective,
41:03clear road map where we had this bullish
41:05push, retracement into decisional,
41:07inducement, inducement divergence, and
41:09now we're expecting a replication and a
41:11new higher high. So, therefore this now
41:12becomes a trend aligned trade with our
41:14short-term objective, which is bullish
41:16into this supply area, which we spoke
41:18about at the beginning. Therefore I can
41:19allow and hold this trade. So, now that
41:21we're in the trade, we're break even on
41:22the trade, we can allow price to come to
41:24the New York key time window. Okay, as
41:26we come to the New York key time window,
41:28all we have done is take Asia high
41:29liquidity. But once you have trend in
41:31the direction that we have it, a
41:33liquidity sweep alone as such is not
41:35going to be detrimental or is not
41:37something we're going to switch bias on
41:38because we know that this is a medium
41:40inducement in a higher time frame
41:41direction in a higher time frame point
41:43of interest, might get an inducement
41:45here, which might lead to a reaction
41:46bearish. Hopefully it doesn't kick us
41:48out of the trade. Anyway, we are risk
41:50free because we break even after the
41:51internal break of structure. So, now we
41:53are going to see where it goes, but it
41:54doesn't mean we should be looking to buy
41:55and then looking to sell and
41:56ping-ponging everything. We are in a
41:58good trade that is aligned with the
41:59higher time frames. We can see in our M1
42:01how it's going. And in fact, we can see
42:03a reason to get in once again. Of
42:05course, we have that inducement, but we
42:06can also see we have this block of
42:09demand. So, this block of demand is
42:11actually a decisional because this was
42:13the last pullback before we broke
42:15structure internally, before we had this
42:17zone getting taken out. Therefore, we
42:18had that clear break of structure,
42:20internal break of structure right here.
42:22So, now that we're in the New York key
42:23time window, we've had an internal break
42:25of structure, price come to a
42:26decisional, and then we get another
42:27inducement like so, and we get the
42:29internal break of structure. Right here
42:31could be another entry. Now, this is a
42:33good trade to be taking cuz we have a
42:34lot of things aligned. We have the trend
42:36aligned on the higher time frame. We
42:38have London being in our direction. We
42:40had nice inducement into a decisional
42:41demand on M15, secondary inducement
42:43showing us control with the divergence,
42:45and price going bullish in our
42:46direction. New York key time window, we
42:48come into a decisional, we get a
42:49inducement and a break of structure. The
42:51only hesitation could be and would be is
42:53this inducement over here of all of the
42:55highs on the left. So, that's the only
42:56reason we're not going to get in. But,
42:57for now, we can at least try and get an
42:59opportunity and break even fast. Break
43:00even fast means we break even at the
43:02internal break of structure, which is
43:03going to be right here. This is our
43:05break even line. So, our exposure or
43:06risk is not going to be for that long.
43:08We're already halfway there. only a few
43:10pips of exposure, so it's worth the
43:11shot, especially because we've already
43:13taken a partial because at 1:23 risk
43:15reward, we lock in half the volume. So,
43:17we locked in 1.5%. That 1.5% we can take
43:20a part of that and risk another 1%. So,
43:22we're not using our accounts, we're
43:23using profit of the day to compound into
43:26a same direction move. And very nice
43:28reaction we get, we are break even. In
43:30fact, we were able to get the 1:23 right
43:32here. So, now we can lock in another
43:341.5. So, for the day, we're at 3%. We
43:36are risk-free on both. And we can allow
43:38now the higher time frame trend to play.
43:40Now, in this case, it hits break even,
43:41and position two also hits break even,
43:43and then it goes like a rocket. So,
43:45market mechanics played out, but it
43:47didn't play out how we wanted it to
43:48because we had first inducement, we had
43:50second inducement right here of this
43:52buildup of that trend line. Price comes
43:54into the demand area where we got in,
43:56but we kicked us out before price went
43:58higher. And that's just how the market
43:59is sometimes. You don't fight it, you
44:00don't get angry. You say, "I protected
44:02myself because I wanted to be risk-free.
44:04I already locked in a partial twice. So,
44:06I got something out of it, but I
44:07couldn't catch the whole move, but at
44:08least we got the direction right. We
44:10understood the market mechanics. We
44:11understood the move even without being
44:13able to capitalize on the entire move.
44:15And now that the New York key time
44:16window is played, we can now see price
44:18moves perfectly in unison with our
44:20arrow. We make the higher high that we
44:22expected. Now we reset and calibrate for
44:24the next day. Okay. And now we see that
44:26we made a higher high. So, now we need
44:27to do the same framework again. We have
44:29the same direction, the same objective.
44:31We're working towards this supply area.
44:33Buyers are clearly in control cuz we've
44:34got higher high, retracement into
44:36decisional higher low, inducement, and a
44:38new higher high. So, therefore, we do
44:39the same framework as always, which is
44:41when you look to buy in a bullish trend,
44:43you mark out your impulse, which is this
44:45green arrow, and then you mark out your
44:46extreme and decisional. In this case,
44:48our extreme and decisional is the same
44:50thing. They overlap. So, we mark out
44:51this point of interest, and we only look
44:53for buy opportunities if we arrive
44:54there. In the meantime, we look for sell
44:56opportunities because we've had
44:57confirmation we are in a pullback. How
44:59do we know? It's because once you form a
45:01high in the market, you need to have an
45:02impulse bearish, failure to make a
45:04higher high. Even so, we have a build-up
45:07inducement, makes a lower low, fails to
45:08make another high, makes a lower low.
45:10We've had three legs of internal
45:11bearish. Clearly, we are targeting now
45:13somewhere down here. And now we are in
45:14the complex pullback. So, therefore, I
45:16want to be looking for buys in the
45:18demand area and sells down to that
45:20demand area if we get a nice meaningful
45:22inducement. Frankfurt is still within
45:24the range of Asia, so no movement for
45:26me, no information. And London open is
45:28kind of nowhere. We don't have any
45:29inducements. So, this is a
45:31non-opportunity. There's no information.
45:32Yes, we have some liquidity at Asia
45:34midline. Yes, we induce it. Yes, we have
45:36the internal break of structure. Yes, we
45:37have the mitigation on London open and
45:39the price action movement lower. This is
45:41nowhere near a trade opportunity. We
45:42don't have an inducement of control. We
45:44don't have a trend. We don't have a POI.
45:45This is simply market mechanics. We read
45:47it, but we don't trade it. Okay. And
45:48then once that's happened, we're going
45:49to allow price play now to our New York
45:51key time window. And we see London
45:53session did a lot. It just whipsawed
45:55around. It whips lower. It whips higher.
45:57We're just inducing Asia low like so. In
46:00the London window, we are inducing Asia
46:01high during London session, and we are
46:03in between inducement zones. We have
46:05slightly broken lower, so I'll
46:06investigate this one. But, for now, we
46:08can start to see as the New York window
46:09approaches, I want to be down here
46:11looking for buys or up here looking for
46:13sells. So, let's see how the New York
46:15window presents. Okay, so we're at the
46:17New York open. Let's play it to the New
46:19York key time window, which is going to
46:20be our gray box. And we can start to
46:22see, okay, we're having some build-up
46:23and inducements. We have this build-up
46:26over here of London lows, and then we
46:28are potentially inducing now. But, we
46:30don't have rejection or confirmation and
46:31not quite the key time window yet, so
46:33let's keep seeing. Okay, now we've seen
46:34a bullish impulse. And again, this could
46:36be an enticing area, but it's not a
46:38tradeable idea. Even though we have the
46:40nice formations, look where we are. We
46:43are in no-man's-land. I don't want to be
46:44buying in premium, which means if I take
46:47the range low to the range high, I want
46:49to be in these discounted areas. We're
46:50sitting around the 50%, so that's not
46:52ideal. But, we're not in a POI. We don't
46:54have a nice inducement. We just have a
46:56inducement of London session, which is
46:58not enough for me. I don't want to be
46:59taking a trade even though we have
47:01inducement of something, and we have an
47:02internal break of structure, and now
47:03we're mitigating in the key time window.
47:05No imbalance is in this area, right
47:07about the midline. We're not in
47:08discounts, and we're not inducing
47:09something so meaningful. So, I'm not
47:11going to be getting into this one. This
47:12is the difference between confluences.
47:14Yes, I have inducement, time window, and
47:15rejection, but it's not a setup. And
47:17that's the key difference between
47:18trading as an amateur and a pro, which
47:20is taking predefined setups which have
47:22data behind it versus just randomly
47:23throwing things at the market. Remember,
47:25the profitability we all seek is not in
47:27more winning trades. There's plenty of
47:28winning trades you can find that are
47:29valid. It's in avoiding losses. So, you
47:31need to be restricted to be profitable,
47:33which is why I always say this. And
47:34there's a clear zone that would be an
47:35avoided loss. We still have the rest of
47:37the key time window, and we are
47:38approaching our demand area. So, now I
47:40can start to get interested. Let's wait
47:42and see if price reaches down there.
47:44Okay, now we're in our demand area, and
47:46we have a strong rejection. This is
47:47where I can start to get interested now.
47:49And in fact, the execution would be
47:50perfectly here, where we have a break of
47:53structure. We have my demand area
47:54mitigation, like so.
47:57And it's in the key time window, and
47:58therefore the trade opportunity becomes
48:00on the imbalance right here, covering
48:02the low. Slightly larger the stop loss
48:04than we would love to have, but still
48:05valid. Now becomes a very simple trade.
48:07A lot easier than the last one, because
48:09we have point of interest, we have time
48:11window, and we have rejection. These are
48:13the three things that we look for, and
48:14it's aligned with our M15 and our road
48:16maps that we started off the week with,
48:18where we were going to look for a
48:19replication of a bullish move from our
48:21point of interest, targeting the supply
48:23area. So, I don't need to target the
48:25whole move, I just need my 1:3 and 1:10.
48:27And because with the trend, I should be
48:28looking for both. And now that the trade
48:30has been executed, we now wait for a
48:32break even management, which is going to
48:34be upon an internal break of structure,
48:35which is right here. So, we haven't had
48:37a break even just yet, and then price
48:39eventually hung around for a while,
48:41which is not ideal, but eventually we
48:43did get the break even protocol right
48:44here. And then the 1:3 as well. So, the
48:471:3 was approximately around here. So,
48:49we had the 1:3 in that impulse, and now
48:51we are still loaded and ready for our
48:531:10 if it presents the next day, which
48:56is the last day of the week, Friday. So,
48:58Friday we're already in this trade, so I
48:59don't need to aggressively look for an
49:00opportunity. I just need to look for a
49:02continuation of my trend in my
49:04direction, hopefully aligned with this
49:06demand area, which is the demand area
49:08controlling the move right now. We have
49:09all of this Asia low liquidity. If we
49:11can induce into my valid demand area,
49:13then I can potentially look for a trade.
49:15Okay, we are inducing perfectly, but
49:16we're not in our point of interest, so I
49:18don't want to be chasing it, as we're
49:20already in something. But this at least
49:21gives me confirmation that the trade I'm
49:23already in is valid. I'm more likely to
49:25hold towards my take profit. Why?
49:27Because we have Asia low and all of this
49:29build-up, we have inducement on the
49:31minute of London key time window, and
49:33then we're starting to get a break of
49:34structure. So, this is now pretty much
49:36likely to keep on going higher, like
49:38such. Not a tradeable opportunity
49:39because we're already in it, and then
49:41price comes to mitigate, so we're just
49:42reading price at this point. We don't
49:44need to chase it, we don't need to
49:45understand each little impulse, which is
49:47why I'm staying on the M5, because I'm
49:49already in a trade. I just want to be
49:50seeing if it goes towards my target,
49:52which is 1:10, which is looking highly
49:53probable cuz we have build-up,
49:55inducements, break of structure,
49:56mitigation, continuation higher. And
49:58there we have it with the New York open
49:59and New York volume. It does exactly
50:01what we need, which is build up some
50:03liquidity, induce New York window
50:05becomes the rocket to hit our targets,
50:07but we haven't quite hit the 1:10 just
50:09yet. So, we are very close. So, I want
50:11to see if I'm going to get there. For
50:12now, we have movement and volatility on
50:14our side. The key time window is
50:15inducing in our way, and we are holding
50:18the demand areas we need to be holding.
50:20So, everything is looking good. Now, by
50:21the end of the day, I just want to see
50:22or end of the week, will it go exactly
50:24where I want it to, which is my take
50:25profit level. And there we have it. We
50:27had to hold it over the weekend, but we
50:29eventually got the volatility and
50:30movement for this one also to be a 1:10
50:33risk-reward trade. So, that's a full
50:34week walk-through on the 1-minute time
50:36frame, walking through every
50:37opportunity. We understood most of the
50:39moves, as you can see as you watched the
50:40whole video. Each movement along the way
50:42was understood, market intentions were
50:43understood, and we got a 1:3 over here,
50:45we got another 1:3 over here, we got a
50:471:10 over here, and we did have a losing
50:49position over here. It was not a loss
50:50because we broke even, so trade
50:52management saved us. But in the end, a
50:53normal walk-through of a normal week,
50:55walking away with over 7% profit,
50:57especially when you see how we managed
50:59this position, it might even creep
51:00closer to 8 or 9%. But the key to all of
51:02this was not understanding the winning
51:03trades, it was understanding how you
51:05avoided losses because you could have
51:06taken these same winning trades, but
51:07also taken a bunch of losses if you
51:09didn't understand how to navigate it
51:10correctly, which is why I always say
51:12that a restricted trader is a profitable
51:14trader.
