Why avoid the reversal
Reversal traders will continuously try to catch the lows in a downtrend and the highs in an uptrend.
This results in many stop outs prior the actually catching the trade.
Here you can see
there was a CISD.
Anticipating the reversal a trade was
placed and resulted in a stop out.
Continuing to try to catch the low in the downtrend, reversal traders will enter again at a new CISD.
Reversal traders will enter again at a
new CISD.

Focus on the continuation
Trade the continuation
Wait for the reversal to form
Continuation traders must have patience, as they wait for the CISD (reversal) to form and
then a new opposing candle to form after that. The second opposing candle formation is
the confirmation of the change in trend.
Not only do these entries have a higher hit rate (personally) as the entries are with the
trend, but many times have better risk to reward.
With understanding MMXM models, these entries are the 1st or 2nd stage of distribution
and generally are faster to TP as well.

TTrades Fractal Model is based off trading continuations, or trading candle 3 and 4.
In the future i will discuss trading the reversal (C2), but for now lets focus on the
continuations.
With a candle 2 closure and an aligned CISD, it is valid to seek continuation entries long. I
can do this by looking for an entry at a pd array, or letting a swing form out of that pd
and catching the continuation entry.
I will look for this pd array in the t-spot, or where i anticipate the htf wicks to form using
my indicator

The higher timeframe wick formed in the t-spot and there was a valid continuation entry.
With the strong candle closure, a continuation in candle 4 is valid and will be noted with
the indicator printing another t-spot.
