#TRADINGTIPS
Two Session Up Close:

If we are in the middle of an intermediate or long term price swing based on what we would see on the HTF chart, this is the classic scenario

When we start approaching HTF opposing arrays, this profile is less likely to occur 🙅‍♂️
Two Session Down Close:

If we are in the middle of an intermediate or long term price swing based on what we would see on the HTF chart, this is the classic scenario.

When we start approaching HTF opposing arrays, this profile is less likely to occur 🙅‍♂️
AM Rally PM Reversal:

Price is yet to fulfill a completion of a bullish run, but very close to where we are presently there is a higher time frame premium PD array 🧲

The session will start off bullish until it hits the HTF PD array which causes the intraday market reversal↗️↘️
AM Decline PM Reversal:

Price is yet to fulfill a completion of a bearish run, but very close to where we are presently there is a HTF premium PD array🧲

The session will start off bearish until it hits the HTF PD array which causes the intraday market reversal↘️↗️
Consolidation AM Rally PM Decline:

If unsure of what the IOF of the current day is or where we are relative to Premium/Discount on Daily/4h, chances are we likely see this scenario

ESPECIALLY if there's no high/medium impact news expected during 10am or later in the day⛔️
Consolidation AM Decline PM Rally:

If unsure of what the IOF of the current day is or where we are relative to Premium/Discount on Daily/4h, chances are we likely see this scenario

EXTRA CONSOLIDATION TIPS💡:

How to know if the PM session will run lunch or Intraday highs?🤔

HTF PD array hit in AM session = Lunch highs likely to be ran

HTF PD array NOT hit in AM session= PM session could run the intraday high, hit the HTF Premium array, and then reverse

Switching from Forex to Futures?

This is your introduction to futures,

A guide to the “Gentlemen’s” market🥂

A Thread🧵Image
So what are futures and futures contracts?🤔

Futures are derivative assets wherein the value is tied to a certain asset.

Trading futures means that you’re just capitalizing on the price movements without actually owning the asset.

If you’re a US citizen trading futures, you get the advantage of tax benefits which is discussed in the YT video, below this thread.Image
Since we are trading price movements, let’s focus on tick size, tick value, and notional value.💎

When trading futures, there’s something called tick size which is the smallest price movement of a contract.

Tick value on the other hand is the value of the asset per tick.

Then lastly, the notional value represents the full value of the contract you’re trading.Image

The Simplest Way Of Looking At Candlesticks: OHLC/OLHC

This was a game-changer in my understanding of price movement!

After reading this, you'll see just how powerful the OHLC/OLHC concept really is in anticipating moves before they happen.

A Thread🧵Image
First, let’s define them properly.

As you can see, OLHC stands for Open, Low, High, and Close which is the movement of a bullish candle.

The understanding of power of 3 can be applied here.

If we are expecting the next candle to be bullish, it will almost always form like this:

Price accumulates in the open, then manipulates below opening price, and then distributes higher, and finally closes.Image
Next, we have the OHLC which stands for Open, High, Low, and Close which is the movement of a bearish candle.

The understanding of power of 3 can also be applied here.

If we are expecting the next candle to be bearish, it will almost always form like this:

Price accumulates in the open, then manipulates above opening price, and then distributes lower, and finally closes.Image

Unlock the secret to reading market strength like a pro:

Here’s how I use Smart Money Technique (SMT) to track relative strength between correlated assets—and nail the highest-probability setups before they unfold.

Let’s dive into the power of SMT.

A Thread 🧵Image
Remember what I taught you in my Unicorn video.

Price only reverses in two ways: Breaker swings and Failure swings.

This also applies in SMT, where we measure the pair’s strength, whether it is strong enough to take the liquidity or fail to do so.

We can then determine which pair to trade, depending on the market context.Image
SMTs happen at HTF key levels such as:

-Swing Highs/Lows
-FVGs
-Previous Candle Highs/Lows

Using these key levels, we can then measure if one pair is stronger than the other. Image

Your FVGs Keep Failing. Here’s Why:

You’re trading at the wrong times. Killzones hold the secret to making your strategy click. Here’s how to use them properly.

A Thread 🧵👇Image
First, let’s define what a killzone is.

Killzone are specific periods during the trading day where volatility is typically higher.

Volatility brings energy, which brings displacement into the market creating high probability FVGs

This will always be ideal for scalpers and intraday traders.Image
Why does a “killzone” work?

They work because they are aligned with market opens and red folder news releases.

The market is at its most liquid at these times

This brings in the volatility needed for the price to seek liquidity or rebalance an imbalance in a quick and efficient manner.

Personally, I focus on the New York session, which is 8:00 AM to 12:00PM EST.

You can also use:
2:00 AM - 5:00 AM for London session
8:00 PM - 12:00 AM for Asian session.Image

Have you ever wondered how a candlestick forms and how it can help you determine direction?

Let’s talk about “Power of 3 (PO3)”: the logic behind candlestick creation.

A thread🧵 Image
A candlestick has four parts.

The opening price, the high of the candle, the low of the candle, and the close of the candle.

On a bullish candle, it will always be Open, Low, High, Close.

On a bearish candle, it will always be Open, High, Low, Close. Image
Q: Okay? But how does that help my trading?

First, you must understand that the open, high, low, and close has different characteristics.

The open typically consolidates, leading us to a part of AMD: accumulation.

In accumulation, price tends to be stuck in a range with no FVG holding.

Since my system relies on trends, I avoid this kind of price action and consider it low-probability.Image

The Most POWERFUL Trading Entry: The Unicorn Model🦄

This is a complete breakdown of what I look for DAILY in the futures market.

A thread🧵 Image
First, we must understand that price only reverses in two ways.📉

Breaker swings and Failure swings.

What’s the difference?

A breaker swing takes liquidity before the reversal.

On the other hand, a failure swing fails to take the liquidity. Image
With that understanding, let’s focus on breaker swings.🔎

Specifically, the breaker.

The breaker is the most important part of the unicorn model.

For bullish breakers, we mark out the highest up-closed candle before a liquidity sweep.

For bearish breakers, we mark out the lowest down-closed candle before a liquidity sweep.Image
