  1. 0:00At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time,
  2. 0:02every single day, a macro runs behind
  3. 0:05the scenes that is coded to deliver
  4. 0:07price to a specific area. If you know
  5. 0:10what you're looking for, this time macro
  6. 0:12can give you some incredible trade
  7. 0:14setups that can literally print you
  8. 0:16money. What I'm about to show you
  9. 0:17totally changed the game for me and is
  10. 0:20based on an incredibly simple framework
  11. 0:22that I call dealing range theory or DRT.
  12. 0:26I'm going to walk you through last
  13. 0:27week's price action and take you through
  14. 0:29each day to show you how effective this
  15. 0:32model actually is and how many of my
  16. 0:34students are using this framework to
  17. 0:36completely turn their trading around.
  18. 0:39Let's get into the charts. So, here we
  19. 0:41are on the 15-minute chart for the
  20. 0:43British pound. Now, the first thing that
  21. 0:45I want to do is I want to delineate the
  22. 0:478:30 a.m. candle and this is on Friday's
  23. 0:50price action. Prior to 8:30 a.m., I want
  24. 0:54to establish where is price at 8:30
  25. 0:57relative to the current dealing range.
  26. 1:00And I can clearly see here that the
  27. 1:02highest high inside of this range is up
  28. 1:05here and the lowest low is down here. I
  29. 1:08can therefore plot my dealing range and
  30. 1:10of course my DRT levels. Now, I'm not
  31. 1:12going to go into a whole lot of detail
  32. 1:14on dealing range theory in this video,
  33. 1:16but I have a whole series dedicated to
  34. 1:19dealing range theory for free right here
  35. 1:22on this YouTube channel. Now, one of my
  36. 1:24favorite sayings when it comes to really
  37. 1:26understanding and interpreting price
  38. 1:28action is in order to establish where
  39. 1:30price is going to go next, we need to
  40. 1:32establish what price has already done.
  41. 1:35So, prior to 8:30, which is obviously
  42. 1:38the New York session, we have the
  43. 1:40benefit of having the London session
  44. 1:42behind us. Now, that gives us a great
  45. 1:44deal of information. The first thing
  46. 1:45that we can see is inside of the London
  47. 1:48session, we have already run the Asian
  48. 1:51session highs. So, we've seen a buy-side
  49. 1:54liquidity pool raided and then the
  50. 1:56market has dropped lower, closing below
  51. 2:00these lows and breaking structure. So,
  52. 2:02already is giving us a bearish
  53. 2:04indication. The second thing is above
  54. 2:07the market, we can see that prior to
  55. 2:10that 8:30 a.m. candle printing, price
  56. 2:13had traded into this inversion fair
  57. 2:16value gap. Notice how the consequent
  58. 2:19encroachment of that gap overlaps with a
  59. 2:2175 DRT level. That's how we know we have
  60. 2:24the correct dealing range. Look at the
  61. 2:26wick of this candle. It fails to touch
  62. 2:29consequent encroachment, and then we see
  63. 2:31the body close down here. This is
  64. 2:33significant. It tells us that the market
  65. 2:36here is heavy. Also, these consecutive
  66. 2:39up close candles we can consider a
  67. 2:41bearish order block. At 8:30, we dip
  68. 2:44into to the opening price, and we
  69. 2:46already have order flow on our side. And
  70. 2:49I mean algorithmic order flow here
  71. 2:51specifically. And now, since we're in a
  72. 2:53continuation lower, we can also grade
  73. 2:55this as a type one dealing range, and we
  74. 2:58can see that we're above the halfway
  75. 2:59point here, but I'll leave that homework
  76. 3:01for yourself. It's also worth noting
  77. 3:03that the bodies don't close above this
  78. 3:06immediate rebalance to the left. So,
  79. 3:08that's one for your notes. Quick one.
  80. 3:11I've been working on something that I've
  81. 3:12never really done publicly before. On
  82. 3:15May the 18th, I'm running a 5-day live
  83. 3:18challenge called the high probability
  84. 3:20trading challenge. Creative, I know. And
  85. 3:22I'm going to teach the exact process I
  86. 3:25used to look for any setup on any pair
  87. 3:27in any session, and know it in under 5
  88. 3:30minutes whether it's worth my time or
  89. 3:32not. This is the same framework I've
  90. 3:34kept close to my chest for years, and
  91. 3:36only ever really taught it inside of my
  92. 3:38private mentorship. On day one, I'm
  93. 3:40showing you why 80% of the order blocks
  94. 3:42and fair value gaps on your chart right
  95. 3:44now were never going to work, and how to
  96. 3:47spot the difference. And once you can
  97. 3:48see which ones were never real, day two
  98. 3:51gives you the three condition checklist
  99. 3:53I run before I ever risk a single
  100. 3:55dollar. From there, day three is where
  101. 3:57we take that checklist and I show you
  102. 3:59how I find the single highest
  103. 4:01probability trade of the session in
  104. 4:03under 30 minutes. Then day four, I'm
  105. 4:05going to read the tape live and you're
  106. 4:07going to see exactly how I apply
  107. 4:09everything in real time. In day five,
  108. 4:12you're going to be building your own
  109. 4:13personal trading plan around your pairs,
  110. 4:16your session and your schedule. Now,
  111. 4:18tickets are capped because we're running
  112. 4:20this live on Zoom and Zoom does have a
  113. 4:22capacity limit, so it's a first come
  114. 4:24first serve basis. Early bird tickets
  115. 4:27are live right now. Click the link in
  116. 4:29the description, grab yours before we
  117. 4:31hit capacity. Right, let's get back to
  118. 4:32it. Now, where is the market going to
  119. 4:35draw towards? Well, first it will draw
  120. 4:37back to equilibrium and into a discount.
  121. 4:40Now, if we look carefully in a discount,
  122. 4:42we see that we have this inefficiency
  123. 4:45here in the form of this buy side
  124. 4:46imbalance. So, this is going to be a
  125. 4:48strong magnet for price to draw lower
  126. 4:50and it's also in close proximity to the
  127. 4:5375 DRT level. Note the bodies over here.
  128. 4:57Now, if we take an entry at the low of
  129. 4:59the order block, place our stop at the
  130. 5:02order block high, and we target the 25
  131. 5:05DRT level. This gives us a risk to
  132. 5:06reward of 3.24.
  133. 5:08There was also another smaller entry as
  134. 5:10an institutional order flow entry drill
  135. 5:13right inside of this fair value gap. Our
  136. 5:15stop would go above the high and again
  137. 5:17we could target the inefficiency, at
  138. 5:19least consequent encroachment or again
  139. 5:21that 25 DRT level. Let's scrub to the
  140. 5:25left a little bit and let's get up
  141. 5:27Thursday's price action. And again here
  142. 5:29we delineate the 8:30 a.m. candle. Now
  143. 5:31again, same thing. What we want to do is
  144. 5:33we want to establish a dealing range
  145. 5:35prior to 8:30 and we can clearly see
  146. 5:39that the highest high is here and the
  147. 5:41lowest low is here. Now, there's rules
  148. 5:44of when I use the wicks and the bodies,
  149. 5:47but that's beyond the scope of this
  150. 5:49video. Now, again at 8:30 over here, we
  151. 5:53have the benefit of London and we can
  152. 5:55see that London has already raided these
  153. 5:58lows from Asia and the Central Bank
  154. 6:01Dealers Range to the left. So, we've
  155. 6:03already seen a raid of sell-side
  156. 6:04liquidity prior to the New York session.
  157. 6:07At 8:30, we see this candle drop lower
  158. 6:10and it absolutely nails the 25 DRT level
  159. 6:14of this entire range. Now, if you look
  160. 6:16closely, we have relative equal highs up
  161. 6:18here, making this a type two dealing
  162. 6:20range. And if you look closely again, we
  163. 6:23have a small inversion fair value gap
  164. 6:26that overlaps with that 25 DRT level. At
  165. 6:298:30, we tap the low, we run away before
  166. 6:33we close through the 50 DRT level, just
  167. 6:35filling in some of this inefficiency to
  168. 6:37the left. We drop back one more time,
  169. 6:40nail consequent encroachment of that
  170. 6:42inversion fair value gap, and then we
  171. 6:44see the market really drive higher for
  172. 6:46those relative equal highs above the
  173. 6:49market. Now, this would have given us a
  174. 6:51fantastic risk-to-reward entry. And it's
  175. 6:53something that I actually went through
  176. 6:55with my private students with a real
  177. 6:57trade that I took, but the trade was
  178. 6:59framed on a 1-minute time frame, so I
  179. 7:01got really, really precise with my
  180. 7:03entry. But, I've been doing this for
  181. 7:05almost 10 years. If you're starting out
  182. 7:07then as a safe stop, I'd put it below
  183. 7:09the dealing range low. But, watch what
  184. 7:11happens. We see the market drive and
  185. 7:14close straight through the 50 and the 75
  186. 7:17DRT level. And at that 75 DRT level
  187. 7:21again, we have another inversion fair
  188. 7:23value gap. We hit the consequent
  189. 7:25encroachment over here, and then we see
  190. 7:27price really drive higher for those
  191. 7:30relative equal highs, but prior to that
  192. 7:32happen, notice how it leaves these equal
  193. 7:34highs. The algorithms engineering
  194. 7:36buy-side liquidity above the market.
  195. 7:39Now, here's what's also so
  196. 7:40is that this here, this is also our
  197. 7:43second stage of accumulation, right? So,
  198. 7:46first stage down here, second stage up
  199. 7:48here, but when we're accumulating in an
  200. 7:50extreme premium, it's very unlikely for
  201. 7:53the market to have a deep retracement,
  202. 7:55in which case we would anticipate an
  203. 7:57explosive move higher like we see over
  204. 8:00here. Okay, let's go to the previous day
  205. 8:02on Wednesday here at 8:30. Just going to
  206. 8:04move me out the way. Now, same thing.
  207. 8:07Where are we at 8:30 relative to the
  208. 8:10current dealing range? We have the
  209. 8:11dealing range high and we have the
  210. 8:13dealing range low. Now, this one's a
  211. 8:15little bit more trickier because at 8:30
  212. 8:18we are already at equilibrium or that 50
  213. 8:20DRT level. And if you're a student of
  214. 8:22mine, you know that we would generally
  215. 8:25see consolidation form around this area.
  216. 8:28So, what we have to do is wait for
  217. 8:31liquidity to engineer post 8:30 in the
  218. 8:35form of equal highs and equal lows and
  219. 8:37then wait for which side is going to be
  220. 8:39raided. Now, with this displacement
  221. 8:42lower, we already have a clue that the
  222. 8:43market is likely to drop lower. And we
  223. 8:47engineer equal highs over here, but note
  224. 8:50the bodies at that 50 DRT level. We're
  225. 8:52engineering a pool of sell-side
  226. 8:54liquidity below the market. The market
  227. 8:57then runs higher, taps the 75 DRT level,
  228. 9:01but also note what overlaps that level.
  229. 9:03We have this sell-side imbalance. Price
  230. 9:06nails the consequent encroachment at
  231. 9:08that 3:00 macro and then we see the
  232. 9:10market spill lower to the external range
  233. 9:14liquidity below the dealing range low.
  234. 9:16So, we raid internal range liquidity and
  235. 9:20then smart money pair short positions
  236. 9:22and offset those positions as the market
  237. 9:25distributes lower back to the sell stops
  238. 9:28below the dealing range low. Since we
  239. 9:30have this consolidation up here,
  240. 9:32clearing buy-side, have a break in
  241. 9:35structure here, and then we see the
  242. 9:37market displaces lower, we can
  243. 9:39anticipate a continuation lower, and
  244. 9:41therefore we can interpret this high and
  245. 9:44this low to form a type one dealing
  246. 9:46range. In a type one dealing range, what
  247. 9:48do we want to see happen if we are
  248. 9:50bearish? We want to see the market
  249. 9:52retrace into a premium above the 50 DRT
  250. 9:57level, and that's where we have that
  251. 9:59nested 75 DRT level fair value gap. So,
  252. 10:03this gives us extra confluence for a
  253. 10:05trade idea that also overlaps with our
  254. 10:08down close candle right here. This is
  255. 10:11going to be our mitigation block since
  256. 10:13we have a high, low, and a lower high to
  257. 10:17the right. Price fails to tap the mean
  258. 10:19threshold here, again signifying
  259. 10:22weakness, and this is how we interpret
  260. 10:24PD arrays in the context of algorithmic
  261. 10:27order flow. So, all of these things
  262. 10:29stack up to give us clues, and look at
  263. 10:30the reaction that we have from that
  264. 10:32level, and price absolutely tanks. We
  265. 10:34could have taken an entry at that 75 DRT
  266. 10:37level, placed our stop above the
  267. 10:40mitigation block, and then targeted for
  268. 10:43the dealing range low. This would give
  269. 10:44us a risk to reward of 3.5. Again, let's
  270. 10:47move on to Tuesday's price action. Here
  271. 10:50again at 8:30, we look back and see
  272. 10:53where we are in relation to the current
  273. 10:55dealing range from this high down to
  274. 10:58this low. Now Now again, what has
  275. 11:00happened prior to 8:30? We've already
  276. 11:02seen the market drop lower, raid sell
  277. 11:06side here with all these relatively
  278. 11:08equal lows, and balance this inefficient
  279. 11:11area of price. We're also seeing price
  280. 11:15stay above the consequent encroachment
  281. 11:18of this, and we have all these relative
  282. 11:20equal highs above the market. Now again,
  283. 11:22we're in a similar situation where we
  284. 11:24have stage one accumulation, stage two
  285. 11:27accumulation with relative equal highs
  286. 11:30above the market prior to 8:30. So, we
  287. 11:33have a whole lot of engineered buy side
  288. 11:35above the market with a potential stage
  289. 11:38two of accumulation. What's going to
  290. 11:41happen? The market's going to explode at
  291. 11:43that 8:30 macro to spool price to that
  292. 11:46buy side liquidity pool, right? So, this
  293. 11:48would have been a really nice scalping
  294. 11:50opportunity. We've taken entry at the
  295. 11:52consequent encroachment of this
  296. 11:54reclaimed buy side imbalance, stop and
  297. 11:57below it, and we could target the equal
  298. 11:59highs above the market. We're also close
  299. 12:01to that 400 big figure level, so we
  300. 12:03should anticipate a real drive through
  301. 12:06that price range. Now, looking at
  302. 12:08Monday's price action, again, 8:30
  303. 12:10delineated over here. Now, this one's a
  304. 12:13little bit more trickier because this is
  305. 12:15a smaller dealing range inside of a
  306. 12:17larger parent dealing range. We already
  307. 12:20have equal highs right here prior to
  308. 12:238:30. See the market really run through
  309. 12:26these equal highs into this inefficiency
  310. 12:29that sits in a premium relative to the
  311. 12:32parent dealing range high and low. And
  312. 12:35you can see how we consolidate in that
  313. 12:37area.
  314. 12:38Engineered buy side liquidity above the
  315. 12:40market, drop into that 50 DRT level,
  316. 12:43which overlaps with this fair value gap
  317. 12:46here. Look at the bodies failing to
  318. 12:48close below the 50 DRT level, and then
  319. 12:50we have price explode higher back
  320. 12:53through the buy side up here into this
  321. 12:55sell side imbalance that nests at that
  322. 12:5775 DRT level. This would have been,
  323. 13:00again, another nice scalp going from 50
  324. 13:02DRT to the 75 DRT, which in itself is a
  325. 13:06fantastic model. I have a lot of
  326. 13:08students who just trade from one DRT
  327. 13:11level to the next. In this case, you can
  328. 13:13obviously see that there's very little
  329. 13:15drawdown. Then the market really runs
  330. 13:17for those engineered equal highs and
  331. 13:20tags that 75 DRT level above. Now, one
  332. 13:23thing that I want to be clear about is
  333. 13:25I've been doing this for nearly 10
  334. 13:27years. So, the way I can see the market
  335. 13:29and obviously utilize dealing range
  336. 13:31theory is not something that is going to
  337. 13:33come overnight. You're going to have to
  338. 13:35spend some time with this, back test it,
  339. 13:37journal your findings. But, I can
  340. 13:39promise you it's an extremely powerful
  341. 13:42model, especially utilizing this model
  342. 13:45at that 8:30 macro.
