S&D Zones
-
Mark high TF orderblocks (4-12hr)
Determine directional bias based on which was tested last, and expect the opposite to be tested
Market Structure
-
Further develop directional bias by mentally noting LL’s, LH’s, HL’s, and HH’s
Look at each day’s POC’s. If your directional bias is upwards, look to target the first untested POC in that direction
Range
-
After an impulse move downwards, mark the range from first swing high to swing low
After an impulse move upwards, mark the range from first swing low to swing high
Breakers
-
Mark your MSB’s, either a sweep outside the range or a move above a swing high / low
Mark candles on the H1 that initiated a market structure break. This can be the bullish candle that lead to a downwards MSB, or the
bearish candle that lead to an upwards MSB
Candles can be marked from wick to wick
FVG’s
-
Mark fair value gaps on high and low tf’s
Anticipate price to trade through the closest FVG on low tf, and eventually through FVG’s on high tf
Entry Strategies
-
Breaker:
After a breaker has been traded through with energy, look to enter on first retest in the other direction
-
Range / MSB:
After a MSB (sweep) of the highs or lows of a range, enter on reclaim of the range. If bullish, price shouldn’t sweep the same low twice.
If bearish, price shouldn’t sweep the same high twice. Stop can be placed at the wick of the high or low sweep
