Trading Plan
A high quality pre-approved pattern must be present, and a trade-able void, that is determined by
looking to the left must be identified, with he exception of targeting the prior high or moving average
on certain trades. If targeting the pivot high, a cluster of resistance, or a moving average, there must be
fluidity present in-between entry and target.
The trend must be identified, understanding that trend is determined by time frame. However, keep in
mind that MTF’s should align in one way or another, and that you can trade off of higher time frames,
to take advantage on clean trends within them, that may not be present on lower time frames.
Uptrend= High Highs and Higher Lows, Moving Averages moving up.
Downtrend= Lower Highs and Lower Lows, Moving Averages Moving Down
Sideways Trend= Equal Highs and Lows Being Retested, Moving Averages Moving Through, Above or
Below Price with no Clear Direction
Clean or Unclean:
Clean Volatile Trend= Price moves with certainty, and fluidity, and S&R levels are respected as price
moves.
Unclean Volatile Trend= Price moves erratically and S&R levels are violated. There is uncertainty in
price.
NVT: A non volatile trend is an impulsive move on a meta level, characterized by fluidity, and clear
directionality. Price is certain.
Focus:
It is wise to focus on Clean Volatile trends, and avoid Unclean Volatile trends, unless you trade the
UVT off of a larger time frame like the weekly or monthly.
An NVT can be entered if it gives you and entry, such as a small 1-2-3 10 SMA pullback or a 1-2-3
continuation Buy Set Up.

“Stocks walk before they run. And they run before they sprint. Fast moves come from false moves.
More than any other tell to buckle up for a rocket move, this is it.” - Jeff Cooper
