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

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

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

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

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

Everyone says that you should “trade with the trend”📈

But how can you trade with the trend? Simple.

You need to become a Higher Timeframe Analysis Expert.

A thread🧵 Image First, what does a higher timeframe (HTF) analysis expert do?🤔

They scan the monthly, weekly, and daily for context aligned with HTF order flow.

In my Swing system, if I don’t see the context on those three timeframes, I move to another pair.

This filters out the low-probability movements that can occur for several pairs.Image

Improve your trade entries using this SIMPLE entry model! 🎯

In this thread, I’ll break down my personal approach and show you how you can apply it to your trades.

Understanding this will give you a simple and accurate view of market direction.

You lose money because you don’t understand low-probability conditions🎲

Here are 5 low-probability conditions you should know and avoid:

A thread🧵 Image The thing that holds many traders back is their inability to spot conditions that they shouldn’t be trading in.

They trade a pattern for the sake of trading a pattern and don’t factor in market conditions.

Feeling overwhelmed by the market?

Here are a few mistakes that traders should try to avoid and how to actually correct them✅

A Thread🧵 Image 1 - Forcing Trades 🚫

I used to feel the need to trade all the time, even before I was profitable and consistent.

Day in and out, I kept entering trades that didn’t really align with my plan.

The only thing that helped me stop was strictly following my trading plan as if it were a checklist.

If the market does this… → Then, I’ll do this…

This approach removed the confusion from my trading decisions and allowed me to approach the charts with confidence.

STOP trading just ANY pair❌

You NEED to know which has the most relative strength/weakness. This is how you find high probability trades.

Here’s what you should know about SMT:

A Thread🧵 Image So what is SMT?

It stands for “Smart Money Technique”.

Simply put, it’s a divergence between swing highs or swing lows on two closely correlated assets.

In other words, a crack in correlation.

Thread🧵Image Daily:

🔹Finally showing willingness to expand higher off the daily IRL (FVG)
🔹Daily candle closure above consolidation range
🔹Looking for expansion higher this week
🔹Once the monthly FVG is reached... I am on watch for lower prices.
🔹Look for daily and 4h FVGs created lowerImage
