1. 🕰🕰 Higher Time Frame (HTF) Bias First
🔹🔹 Daily/Weekly Trend Direction:
✅ Bullish = Higher highs & higher lows
✅ Bearish = Lower highs & lower lows
🔹🔹 How to Determine HTF Bias?
• 📊📊 Candle Closures (e.g., strong bullish close = likely continuation)
• 🎯🎯 Internal/External Range Liquidity (IRL/ERL)
o IRL = Fair Value Gap (FVG)
o ERL = Swing High/Low
• 📉📉 Order Flow (Which PD arrays are respected/disrespected?)
❗ Golden Rule: Only trade in the direction of the HTF draw!
2. 🔄🔄 Swing Point Creation (Market Structure)
🔹🔹 Lower Time Frame (LTF) Reversals = HTF Continuations
• Example: A 5M reversal forms a 1H higher low in an uptrend.
• Key Idea: The market moves in swings—your job is to catch them early!
3. 🧩🧩 Key Components of the Model
Component What It Means How to Use It
Trade Daily (HTF) → 1H (LTF) or 4H
⏳ Time Frame Alignment HTF → LTF mapping
→ 15M
🎯🎯 Key Levels IRL (FVG) or ERL (Swing Point) Look for reversals at these zones
📈📈 SMT (Smart Money Divergence between correlated pairs (e.g.,
Confirms institutional bias
Technique) NQ vs. ES)
🔄🔄 CISD (Change in State Consecutive opposing candles into a key
Signals momentum shift
of Delivery) level + SMT
⚡ Inversion FVG FVG that reverses price Confirms strong reversal
🔥🔥 Trading Candle 2 (Reversal Expansion)
✅ Ideal Candle 2 Setup:
1. 📉📉 Small opposing run (shallow wick)
2. 📊📊 Accumulation range before the move
3. 🔄🔄 Double purge (liquidity grab of highs & lows)
4. ⏱ Early CISD (first half of candle = more expansion time)
🎯🎯 Entry:
• Limit Order → Retest of inversion FVG
• Market Order → On CISD confirmation
🛑🛑 Stop Loss:
• Below rejection block low or 50% of wick
💰💰 Take Profit:
• 2R target or HTF smt level
🔄🔄 Trading Candle 3 (Continuation)
If Candle 2 consolidates instead of expanding, wait for Candle 3:
✅ Requires:
• SMT + CISD (no HTF PD needed)
• Opposing run + confirmation
🎯🎯 Entry:
• After Candle 3 opens, wait for pullback + SMT
