Why? Because they are the largest institution (Banks and Large Financial Companies) that cause or move the financial market. They are also the largest in the market. As the name implies Smart Money, they also participate in the buy and sell price (i.e buying and selling at the same time) with the hope of making profits at both price holding. Whenever SM wants to buy, they pair with the available buy orders. Both Smart Money and Retail Traders are in the market fighting for one thing which is to make profit. Approximately $5 trillion worth of forex transactions take place daily, which is an average of $220 billion per hour. So the forex market is always an everyday opportunity to every trader to make money without excuses. Now let's dove into the main concept of Smart Money Concept… Are you ready?? Yah Yah Captain lol 😂 8 MODULE #1: STRUCTURE STRUCTURE: WHAT IS STRUCTURE? Market structure can be defined as the simplest form of price movement in the market and is being read as. It is basically support and resistance levels on the charts, swing highs, and swing lows, and range high and range low. These are levels traders from all over the world see and it attracts the most attention. It can also be referred to as PRICE ACTION. So it has been broken down to the simplicity of understanding the market better with a view of the chart. CHART can be represented by CANDLESTICK, BAR AND LINES. These are what gives us insight of what the trend (STRUCTURE OF THE MARKET) is. Let me go short on this types of chart indicators. CANDLESTICK Was developed in the 18th century by Munehisa Homma, a Japanese rice trader.They were published in 1991 when it was introduced to the Western World by Steve Nison in his book Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques. 9 They are often used today in stock analysis along with other technical analysis of equity and currency price patterns. BAR CHART Is reliable for technical analysis which is represented as a vertical line in which the top indicates the high price action and the bottom indicates the low. The bar line has a left horizontal line which indicates the opening price of the bar and off the right indicates the low. OHLC - Open, High, Low and Close. 10 LINE CHART Is the most easy interpretation of the type of chart that draws a straight line segment reading from one closing price to the next closing price. It's as complicated as the others because of the simplicity but it doesn't provide the necessary information needed for traders especially compared to other charts. The chart is a road map and It is like learning a language. To understand how this chart works, you have to know the types of structure printed by the market or we can say the moves of the markets. We have THREE type of structure/trend which are: BULLISH/UPTREND: It's a move that signify the price going high and higher and this is controlled by the buyers in the market. When we have a lot of people buying or rasing the value of an asset. 11 It's normally printed as HH & HL (Higher High and Higher Low). If you truly subscribe to the group, you'll be taught in the class how it looks like. BEARISH/DOWNTREND: Sellers in control pushing the price down or either the asset is losing its value. As a potential owner of the asset, you won't want to keep it. So you sell it and this causes the market to move downward. Sellers' powers are known in the market as LH & LL (Lower High and Lower Low). 12 RANGING/SIDEWAYS MARKET: This indicates a struggle between the buyers and the sellers. Price hitting a support (buyers zone) and the resistance (sellers zone) multiple times without a clear though of who's in control of the market. It's advisable to avoid this kind of market because we don't know the next move of the market. It's seen as RH & RL (Range High and Range Low). There's a saying "Market speaks. Traders listen". So it's very important to always know and look carefully at what the market is saying or printing in terms of structure before making a decision to either join the buy or sell. 13 👀 The best indicator you can use effectively and won't tell you lies is your EYE . Make them useful by letting them show you who's in control of the market. 14 MODULE #2: THE CONCEPT OF BREAK OF MARKET STRUCTURE I know you'll want to say why is this necessary, we can join the move when it's either buying or selling off. I would take a No for you. Why? Because you just made an irrational decision without a proper view of the next move of the market. The Market is designed for you to FAIL. Ask me why? Because they are interested in your fuc*** money. For you to avoid being a trap fish then, you have to become a ForexFisherman. For the market to move either bullish or bearish, a shift or change of direction has to happen beforehand. And it's called the BREAK OF MARKET STRUCTURE (BOS/BMS). The market is tense to move and retrace a little too gives a clear direction of the price. The retracement is what gives us a sharp eye to see how the market is behaving. Let's take a bullish move attempting to go downward. 15 It was clearly said earlier that a bullish moves forms a HH & HL, for the market to change from bullish to bearish, it has to break/pierce the previous HL. When it's broken, then it's clear that the seller are gaining control of the market. You can check out various chart example of a break in market structure @ BBPIPSFX CHANNEL 16 MODULE #3: THE CONCEPT OF LIQUIDITY WHAT IS LIQUIDITY AND WHY IS IMPORTANT? LIquidity can generally be known as the piercing of a fake break out of the previous high or previous low. When liquidity is taken, the market reverses with full control/speed. The markets need to generate liquidity in order to move, so if liquidity isn't already there, it will be created. Before I move to the kinds of liquidity, I want us to know that we have only two types of liquidity which are: ● BUY STOP LIQUIDITY (BSL) ● SELL STOP LIQUIDITY (SSL) BUY STOP LIQUIDITY: This type of liquidity can be identified below the support zone of price (i.e Price took out the previous lows of support and eventually broke the previous high which forms a higher high. Therefore, a buy stop liquidity has been created by the banks using or stopping out the retail traders in the market. And there is liquidity below the double bottoms, triple bottoms, quadruple, and whatever. 17 SELL STOP LIQUIDITY: This type of liquidity can be identified above the resistance level of price. The banks broke the resistance level (fake breakout) and sold aggressively. They already created a SSL above the double top, triple top, quadruple, whatever. KINDS OF LIQUIDITY 1. INTERNAL LIQUIDITY 2. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY 3. STATICS LIQUIDITY 4. DYNAMIC LIQUIDITY INTERNAL LIQUIDITY: This liquidity is created within the Range High and Range Low, Previous High and Previous Low, or Swing High and Swing Low. EXTERNAL LIQUIDITY: This liquidity can be identified above Range High and Range Low, Previous High and Previous Low, or Swing High and Swing Low. STATICS LIQUIDITY: This liquidity is created and identified at a double bottoms or double top. 18 DYNAMIC LIQUIDITY: This liquidity is usually identified as a trend line. Price forming a trend within the external liquidity. Liquidity is already created at both sides of the trend (i.e up and down). Trading Liquidity is very simple and easy. Whenever Liquidity is created, it brings us to the concept of order block. Which gives the Smart Money a chance to place their orders/limits alongside the liquidity they formed with institutional candles above or below the zones. Manipulation is certain because they are in control of the market. 19 MODULE #4: ORDER BLOCK ORDER BLOCK We can call this a revenue or spot created by the institutional banks to hide in while creating their manipulating acts in order to trap the retail traders. It is the final candle before an impulsive move that leads to a break in market structure. One mistake traders make is that they usually place an order at either the HH or HL of price which is not. The Financial Institutions or Banks spend a lot of money on analysis to get the best trading results. Since they cause most of the moves, they have to create an order flow towards where they are hiding (Order Block). Mostly, Order Blocks are usually at the supply and demand zones where it is very important to see the structure of the market and the timeframe you'll be using to identify your blocks. Order Blocks are found on all time frames but it's best you trade blocks from the HTF because it gives a clearer picture of what you'll be either buying or selling. 20 We have 2 (two) types of order block which are: ● Bullish Order Block ● Bearish Order Block BULLISH ORDER BLOCK This is the last down candle (bearish) before an impulsive move to the upside which break the market structure (HH). This candle is where the institution has placed their orders/limits. So price will surely retrace back to that candle to pick those orders before the continuation of the bullish trends. The entry line at the peak of the wick or candle bodies and your stop loss will be below the candle wick. 21 BEARISH ORDER BLOCK Bearish Order Block is the last bullish candle before an impulsive move to the downside which breaks the market structure (LL). This candle is where the institution has placed their orders/limits. So price will surely retrace back to that candle to pick those orders before the continuation of the bearish trends. The entry line at the peak of the wick or candle bodies and your stop loss will be above the candle wick. 22 Mostly banks do fill their limits/orders almost to the wick of the candle either at the top of demand or below the supply areas. So this leads us to the refinement of ORDER BLOCK using the lower timeframe to get the exact block they hid in. LTF ORDER BLOCK (SMALL ORDER BLOCK) It's also known as OB refinement whereby you refine (look deep at the chart from the timeframe the OB was identified to the lower timeframe mostly M1, M5 and M15). Risking small for bigger wins. The reason why you need to refine your OB is because it gives tighter stop loss, and usually decreases our drawdown on our trade. It will also give us the chance to increase our RRR on our trade so we can get a better reward while risking low. For example, an order block from a timeframe of H4 (4 Hours) would have a calculation of 25pips as a stop loss but refined OB would give a minimum of 3-5pips stop loss. Can you see the huge difference between the OB? The only difference I see is the RISK. 23 ● BULLISH REFINED ORDER BLOCK ● BEARISH REFINED ORDER BLOCK 24 SESSION TWO: THE TOP DOWN ANALYSIS 25 Congratulations to you if you truly read to the end of chapter one without skipping any lessons.
