A PSP (Precision Swing Point) is the formation of a classic swing point, as you all know it. However “candle 2” (the candle that forms the swing point) closes differently among closely correlated assets.
For example:
Bullish closure on NQ
Bearish closure on ES
How can we use a PSP?
PSPs can be used in multiple ways:
- Reversals
- Continuation
- Consolidation
I will explain how you can use them in each of these conditions.
(Reversal PSP)
When looking for a reversal PSP, you first want to see a SSMT form. Once the SSMT is in place, you then wait for the PSP to form, either on the candle that forms the SSMT or a few candles afterwards.
(Continuation PSP)
To find a continuation PSP, first identify the current order flow and directional bias. Then, wait for a PSP to form and treat it like an order block. Look for LTF cracks inside the HTF PSP for a continuation of price.
(Consolidation PSP)
In order to identify if price is low probability and most likely in a consolidation, you’re looking for multiple PSPs to form back to back.
You will experience the cleanest moves from singular PSPs, not lots of them back to back.
How to enter after a PSP has formed?
There are multiple ways to enter after a PSP forms:
-Enter immediately after candle 3 closes, with your stop on the PSP candle.
- Treat the PSP like an OB, wait for price to trade into it, and find a LTF entry inside the PSP.
How to identity a high probability PSP?
The highest probability PSPs will have a LTF PSP inside of them.
For example if we see a 1H PSP form, we want to see a 15M PSP inside of the hourly PSP.
This is how we can anticipate a PSP to form before they actually do.

Quarterly Theory - Intermarket Sequential SMT (IMSSMT) thread. 🧵
What is IMSSMT?
Intermarket SSMT is essentially a SSMT that occurs between different markets.
For a SSMT, we look at the previous quarter’s extreme high and low. We then wait for one asset to take out the high or low while another closely correlated asset fails to do so.
Now, using this knowledge, we can look for the exact same concept but across two different markets.
For example, if the Indices Triad all take the PDL while the FX Triad fails to do so, this forms a bullish WC IMSSMT—one market experiences a FS while the other is a TS.
