In this condition you can see that only sellers who are dominant participants so at any time we can have a retracement(Bullish candles) But the outlook is to join the market movers by waiting for the retracement. The bodies of the candle will be communicating to you to expect the start of the retracement. The longer the bearish candle the strong of the sell move/trend AS YOU KNOW WE HAVING SOMETHING THAT IT IS CALLED IMBALANCEMENT THEN THIS IS A LAW TO PROTECT ALL MARKET PARTICIPANTS(BUYERS & SELLERS) THIS MEANS THAT ALL MARKET PARTICIPANTS MUST FIND IT FAIR TO PARTICIPATE. BUYERS BUY FROM SELLERS SO IT WILL BE UNFAIR FOR THE MARKET TO SELL TO NO BUYERS SO LITERALLY YOU CAN'T SELL SOMETHING WITHOUT A BUYER. When we check the scenario on our right hand side we can see that at least we had some few buyers who managed to participate in the sell move(This is the reason why we having retracements) then during the retracement it is where we enter our sell positions since we know that the buyers won't be that much. Then to check that this is a real retracement you'll see that the bullish candles will be short on length(Having high rejections with small bodies) JOINING THE TREND USING FLIP ZONES • A FLIP ZONE IS A LEVEL WHERE THE MARKET MANAGES TO DELIVER A OPPOSITE RETEST ON EITHER A PREVIOUS KEY ZONE/PREVIOUS LOW OR PREVIOUS HIGH • A FLIP ZONE IS ONLY VALID ON FIRST RETEST • A FLIP ZONE APPLICABLE CLEARLY ON 5M UPWARDS TIME FRAME. APPLICATION OF FLIP ZONES FLIP ZONE FLIP ZONE As we now know what is a flip zone then check this out We having a clear bearish market structure then after a breakout of the previous low (BOS) WE WAIT FOR THE MARKET TO RUN AS QUICK AS IT CAN TO RETEST ON THE PREVIOUS LOW SO ONCE THE MARKET APPROACHES THAT LEVEL THEN YOU PLACE YOUR SELL TRADES BEFORE THE CANDLE CLOSES THAT GAVE THE RETEST BECAUSE IT CAN END UP REJECTING ALL OF IT AND LEAVE THE RETEST AS A REJECTION. CLEAR DOWNTREND ILLUSTRATION WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRADING A FAIR DOWNTREND WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS CONDITION IT SHOWS THAT ALL MARKET PARTICIPANTS ARE BUSY PLAYING THE ROLE OF TRADING(SELLING & BUYING) BUT THE MOST POWERFUL ONES ARE SELLERS AS THE MARKET IS TRENDING DOWN THEY'RE OVERPOWERING THE BUYERS BECAUSE THEIR SELLING/SUPPLYING MORE THAN WHAT BUYERS ARE WILLING TO BUY THEN THIS WILL RESULT IN PRICES MOVING DOWNSIDE. THE BULLISH CANDLES CAN BE ONE OR TWO IF THE TREND IS VERY STRONG TILL IT ENDS UP MELTING DOWN TO THE POINT THAT BUYERS END UP GIVING UP THEN WE'LL BE HAVING A BEARISH LIQUIDTY VOID(RED/BEARISH CANDLES ONLY) TRADING THE FLIP ZONES MULTIPLE FLIP ZONES You can have many as you can flip zones on a chosen time frame so if you check the illustration on the right side you will see that we had two levels of flip zones. the more you get or discover a new flip zone this shows that the trend is still in continuation but remember the rule (A flip zone is only valid by one first retest) Once you miss entering at a flip zone then you missed a lot For safety purposes do not force entering in the middle of nowhere MEANING ON THIS CONDITION YOU HAD TWO ENTRIES FLIP ZONE FLIP ZONE FORMATION OF A RETRACING CANDLE TYPES OF RETRACING CANDLES SCENARIO A THIS SHOWS THAT THE MARKAT HAD ACTIVATED SOME BUY LIMITS BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE MARKET WILL BUY ITS A KIND OF FAST RETRACEMENT STOP PANICKING BECAUSE OF THIS TYPE OF CANDLE IT'S JUST SPONSORED SCENARIO B THIS SHOWS THAT THE MARKAT IS STILL IN A STRONG SELLING TREND THIS IS A NORMARL CANDLE TO HAVE ONCE THE SELLING PRESSURE IS HIGH THE MOMENT IT GIVES YOU A REJECTION IT SHOWS THAT THERE ARE MORE SELL ORDERS THAT ARE PUSHING IT DOWN SO YOU CAN EXPECT A BEARISH CANDLE AFTER IT TRENDING CONDITIONS TYPES OF BEARISH TRENDS SCENARIO A BEARISH LIQUID MARKET SCENARIO B BEARISH INEFFICIENT MARKET SCENARIO C BEARISH EFFICIENT MARKET ORDER FLOW AT A KEY ZONE/LEVEL BANKS LIQUIDITY LEVEL(RETEST ON PREV HIGH) THE MARKET CAN DROP FOR TIME BUT IN A SUDDENT IT PUSHES UP FAST DO YOU KNOW WHY..? The reason is to give a fair chance for buyers to also play their role so mostly the market will be running to a previous high. The moment it runs to a previous it is refilling the gap that only consisted of sellers only then once it reaches that level you can now be able to place sell trades and please do not forget the rule of studying the momentum then this means that after it retested from the level now bearish candles must start increasing the bodies (Big red candles shows strong sell momentum) ORDER FLOW AT A KEY ZONE BANKS LIQUIDITY LEVEL During that retest on the level of Banks Liquidity it can be in this way as shown above. Mostly we do not usually get the desired retest accurately as expected so the market can push up with few pips just to kick out small traders and give them a false signal by creating a liquidity sweep/injection(It activates buy stops and hit some stop losses of buying trades).The thing is that since you know what you looking for the moment it breaks above wait & relax then once the candles push below the banks liquidity level then you place your sell trades with stop level few pips above ORDER FLOW AT A KEY LEVEL BANKS LIQUIDITY LEVEL Sometimes we can have a second chance to catch the market by getting a second retest after a liquidity injection, This is caused by the big banks as they will push the market prices back to the key level so that it can activate their sell limits then after it will drop so hard since we will be having more sell orders as we know that they place a huge volume of orders so all the buyers will be kicked out from the market (WE TRADE WITH THE BIG BANKS) MANIPULATION ON A KEY LEVEL/ZONE MANIPULATION AT A KEY ZONE BANKS LIQUIDITY LEVEL This is a clear example of manipulation that is created by the big banks because we couldn't be able to get a signal from the market that it will sell but as we know the rule that we sell once the market comes back below the level. Price will be played at a key level or zone to confuse many traders so it will never be easy to for the market to sell clearly on such levels because if it becomes easy anyone will win. The aim of big banks is to kill retail traders in such a way of playing the market prices. The moment the market pushes up and break above the level it is fooling people because others will be buying thinking the market will continue pushing up others will set buy stops above the level but the truth is that the market will sell it's just adding more liquidity by activating their MANIPULATION AT A KEY ZONE BANKS LIQUIDITY LEVEL In this condition we were able to get a signal from the market that is a clear liquidity injection. The long shadows are telling us that the market is rejecting buy orders then this simple mean that sell orders are now increasing then this will push the market down Price will be played at a key level or zone to confuse many traders so it will never be easy to for the market to sell clearly on such levels because if it becomes easy anyone will win. The aim of big banks is to kill retail traders in such a way of playing the market prices. The moment the market pushes up and break above the level it is fooling people because others will be buying thinking the market will continue pushing up others will set buy stops above the level but the truth is that the market will sell it's just adding more liquidity by activating their HOW TO EXPECT A FAILURE OF TREND CONTINUATION PREDICTING A CHANGE OF MARKET STRUCTURE FLIP ZONE/KEY LEVEL/RESISTANCE LEVEL WE CAN HAVE A KEY LEVEL OR ZONE WHEREBY WE WERE ANTICIPATING TO BUY The market arrive at the level with high bearish momentum and break below the level then you relax and wait for it to push back above the zone or level then still after that you relax and wait for confirmation so that you can enter PREDICTING A CHANGE OF MARKET STRUCTURE FLIP ZONE/KEY LEVEL/RESISTANCE LEVEL The confirmation that you will be waiting for is to get a bearish candle that will retest back from your key level or zone then you buy and set stop level few pips below the last bearish candle that broke below the level. As we know it's forex sometimes it can continue selling but remember my name(I have made enough research so on such conditions the win rates of such setups are above 90%) SIDE LIQUIDITIES TRADING BUY SIDE LIQUIDITY BUY SIDE LIQUIDITY This a condition where the market manages to rest and accumulate/generate bearish liquidity, many small traders will be thinking that the market will buy soon then by this way they will be setting buy stops above the level. There's a lot of liquidity(money) above this level that is the reason it's called Buy Side Liquidity This level can be retested several times (twice or more) but once we having multiple retest expect the last one to have a liquidity injection which will be giving us a signal that the retests are over from the level So always know that if the market sells so hard this might happen then you sell on a retests on the BSL then set stop level few pips above the level. BUY SIDE LIQUIDITY FLIP ZONE In case you have missed selling during the retests on the BSL or you want to add more trades, then you can just apply the flip zone strategy Mostly a strong level to anticipate a valid flip zone is by using the last swing point then from there you know what to do.
