SMT is the most ๐ฃ๐ข๐ช๐๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ trading confluence you can use.
Hereโs exactly how you can use SMT to ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ your trading results.

SMT is defined as a โcrack in correlation.โ This is the market showing its hand.
The simplest way to spot a crack in correlation is by identifying a failure swing between correlated assets.
The market only turns in 2 ways: breaker swings or failure swings.
SMT can be utilized in many ways:
Confirming stop hunts & trends
Confirming reversals
Identifying relative strength/weakness
๐ฅ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ.. we always want to be longing the strongest of the two, and shorting the weakest of the two. This is relative strength/weakness.
But ๐ช๐๐๐ง, before you go mindlessly looking for SMT in your charts, it is important to know TWO things:
1. You must learn the different assets and their correlated counterparts.
Here is a list of all correlated assets in the forex, index, and commodities markets:
2. You must understand how to implement SMT into your trading.
SMT should be used as a confluence to a pre-existing trade idea.
We only look for SMT @ HTF PDA.
There has to be proper context behind WHY price is likely to reverse off a certain level before we look for the SMT.
SMT is an ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐น๐ powerful tool when used properly. It is an amazing way of confirming reversals @ HTF PDA and identifying the relatively stronger/weaker asset to trade. I highly recommend giving it a try!

If price is drawing to a higher timeframe FVG, the one you are using will not hold. The higher timeframe FVG will act as a stronger magnet for price.
You must understand what price is doing from the top down.
The HTFโs: M, W, D, 4h act as the strongest magnets for price.
For example, if we are looking to trade off of a 1h FVG, but donโt know that price is currently drawing to an FVG on the daily, that 1h FVG is MUCH more likely to fail. This why many of your FVGโs do not hold.
