 Where to begin?
Top-Down analysis for a reason (HTF Analysis)

EachWeek we take Day trades. So we need to understand the most likely draw on liquidity on the
Weekly and the Daily. This aids us in getting a directional Bias.
Beginning of the Week we identify our potential point A to B. Where is price heading and where did

it come from.

Each day we quickly refer to the Daily and the most likely draw on Liquidity. Pro trend trades would

be in the direction of the Weekly.

Next, we will look at how we identify and look at liquidity

Two different ways of getting the projections.

First, the 15m TF taken from the body closes

Secondly, on the 15m, TF, taken from the wicks.

It depends on the range. If the range is below 15pips I take the wicks into

consideration. If it's above 15pips I use the body closes.

Always good to have a look at both.

This is how I do it. Play around with it and see what works best for you.

Order Blocks
How do they form and what is their agenda?
 OB Agenda

The process consists of: Range, Initiation out of the range, Mitigation of the Range and Continuation.
There are many minor details for each phase!

We trade after the Initiation. When we are in a Range, we do not know yet what will happen. We wait
for the footprint (Initiation) and then start following the flow. Mitigation is also tradeable (retracement

into the Range).

 Different types of Ranges

A range can form in many different ways. What is important is the psychology behind it.

- We'd like to see a range/choppy price. That is institutions exchanging/stacking orders.

- The Initiation phase begins within the range, so there is always a B2S/S2B within it. This is their final
action before launching the orders. After we breakout of the range, we are in the Initiation Phase.

Observe how the range forms! Learn to spot them. The market ALWAYS REACTS FROM RANGES.
Within IMB, there is always a range on a different timeframe. It's how the market operates. RIM.

Observe how the Initiation starts - is it strong, long-bodied move or a slow, wicky move that does not

cause a break of structure? Observe and see what works best.

''Refining'' an OB is basically taking a HTF range onto the LTF. Finding the precise place of the Initiation

(B2S/S2B).

Exercise: When you open a chart, search for Ranges that had a strong Initiation outside of them and

caused a Break of structure.

Different types of Ranges
 The S2B/B2S concept

This concept is really simple. A Sell to Buy is a big sell before a big buy and vice versa for Buy to Sell.

The psychology behind: Institutions (Divino & Walter) love to trick people into Buying/Selling, before they

launch their orders. This move always lacks in Volume (check the Volume profile tool). The big volume is

collected in the range and then the B2S/S2B is just engineered.

Of course, the institutions are at a loss when they perform the B2S/S2B concept. So they come back to

mitigate their floating losses at BE, meanwhile still tricking people. After the mitigation, they launch fully

and you see another expansion.

IMPORTANT: A B2S/S2B is just an OB/Supply/Demand zone on a Lower Timeframe! If you spot a big
move down on the 1M and then go to the 15M, you will just see one bearish candle, that is an OB. The

1/3M give us insights though exactly where that move began. It's usually in the Range phase.
It is always best for the B2S/S2B to take some sort of LQ or Mitigate something on the left (signifies OF).

We take 25 and 50% of the whole move and trade from there.

Examples on charts:
 Initiation Phase

The INI phase can look in numerous ways! It's going to either be a straight line push or a series of strong

mitigations!

The INI can be tradeable, but not always. Usually, the INI will create the SB that we need for a Type 1/2

entry. Therefore, trading from the Range and catching the INI is not always a good idea.

The INI becomes Liquidity, to make the Mitigation easier later on!!
Let's spot some on the charts:
 Mitigation Phase

depending on the TF).

The MTG phase begins once the INI is over. This will be seen by a shift of structure (

During the move towards the range, price will bounce off of levels that were formed in the INI phase -

those are simply reaction points, to become LQ later to be taken after the Mitigation.

The MTG can also be traded, but it's a retracement trade! It's the retracement process towards the OB.

You will have a shift at the top/bottom and then you can engage in a retracement (with lower risk).
Following Mitigations in INI or MTG phase
Textbook Scenarios B2S/S2B + RIM
 Textbook Scenarios B2S/S2B + RIM

Strong High

Potential Weak Low

(if the Strong high holds)

Example of RIM
Battle between S&D
 Weak/Strong Highs and Lows

After a strong high/low, you will always see mitigations away from it. It is also usually formed with a V

shape formation.

A strong High/Low will cause a Structure Break! We can also call them Confirmed Highs/Lows. Those are

supposed to be protected and not broken. Usually, the strong high/low creates the Edge of a leg.

A weak High/Low is one that is Flat, hasn't broken any significant structure, is in the middle of nowhere.

We trade from Strong Highs and targeting Weak Lows and vice versa.

Timeframes: As all of the concepts, this one also applies on every timeframe. The higher, the better. I
use it mostly with HTFs, starting from 15M to 4H. It's how you determine direction and where is price likely

to go! You can use it on the 1M as well. Spot how the strong high will almost always be created with MM.

Merge those with HTF and target the Weak 15M highs and lows.

 Some notes:

Those are the main patterns that we utilize and different variations of them. They are more like a schematic for

you to remember and try to identify on the charts! Each setup will look in a different manner and have a

different development, but if you identify the overall pattern, then you have a high success rate!

When it actually comes to the Entry, that's when it gets confusing! You can of course solely trade based on those

patterns! Usually, they are seen on 3/5/15M timeframe at a HTF OB. If you wish to refine further, get more

confirmation and reduce your SL, then you need to go the 1M timeframe!

Start by understanding those patterns and the psychology behind them. Practice identifying OBs, S2Bs/B2Ss,

Liquidity, etc. Then once you have developed a feeling for that, it's time to refine to the 1M!

I will try to share a couple of patterns and setups that I utilize on a daily basis. They work in combination with all

the patterns we just covered + proper HTF analysis and following the flow.
Let's Refine!

 Aggressive B2S/S2B entry

This is the aggressive type of entry, that represents Type 1. Usually, there will be an unmitigated S2B/B2S from a

past day/session. On session openings, we can see a sharp tap into those zones and an immediate reaction.

Usually, the SL is a bit bigger on this one, but you can always get a conservative entry as well.

It's best if you have some LQ generated before the tap into the zone. The more LQ, the better. Usually, there will

be some flat highs/lows just above/below the zone!

Aggressive B2S/S2B entry example
Aggressive B2S/S2B entry example
 Continuation B2S/S2B entry

This is the conservative, Type 2 approach, when the market mitigates a HTF OB or a S2B/B2S. The Entry zone

can either be just 1 candle like an OB, or a simple S2B/B2S that caused a break of structure.

It's best to trade this in trending markets, after it has already tapped an area and it's reversing from it. Trade the

continuation until you are wrong!!! This is basically ''following the mitigations in the INI or MTG phase!!.

Continuation B2S/S2B entry example
 Flip & Break (Flip Flop) Setup

This is the Flip & Break approach. It is a simple concept that indicates a shift from Supply to Demand market and

vice versa. It's important for you to follow all mitigations and then spot when is the last that fails and causes the

flip!

There are A LOT of variables to this schematic. It's really important to just flow, follow the mitigations, spot the

failures of Supply/Demand and then look for the S/D that caused the Flip or Break.

 Checklist for F&B
Liquidity grab (LG) - Could be any sort of LQ (Equals, Old highs, Structure, etc.)

Mitigation (MTG) - It MUST mitigate a HTF OB (5/15/1H/4H).

Sharp V recovery - It must react in an aggressive manner, not flat.

Flip - It must fail to hold S/D and break higher/lower as a Flip. Preferable Body Close.

Flop - Preferably, a break of swing structure on the left or a new structure created!
(You can trade with Flip only, if it's clear.
Execute - Execute with confidence, after ticking all 5 boxes!

Follow the money - If you get a good reaction, then start using Continuation B2S/S2B

 Pairs & Time

The pairs that work best with the concepts are the majors:

- EU, AU, GU, NU, UJ, UCAD, UCHF, GJ, EJ.

You DON'T want to trade more than 3 pairs. Mainly, we trade EU, GU, AU and GJ.
Start from 1 Pair! Master 1 Pair, During 1 Session with 1 Entry setup. Then expand! Don't try to be everywhere and

take everything!

The best and most volatile/liquid trading sessions are London and NY:

- London trades can be taken from 7 AM GMT (Frankfurt Open) until 11 AM GMT (entering lunchtime).
- Transition into New York can start as early as 12 PM GMT. NY Opens at 1 PM GMT until 3-4 PM GMT.

- After 3 PM GMT London session is coming to an end, which usually brings some final volume.

- Asian Session is from 1 - 5 AM GMT. We have 6 AM GMT that is usually quiet and then at Frankfurt Open (FO),
we start getting action!

! The Daily Range is mostly being filled from 5 AM GMT (Asia Close) until 8 PM GMT.
- That is where the 00:00 NY time Open originates from!

Make sure to determine your Trading Window! You don't want to trade from FO to NY close!
 Process:

1. Morning Routine. Get fresh before you get to the charts.

2. Check news. Figure out when can we have momentum/manipulation and be mindful of it.

3. Start from HTF - D1/4H. Where are we now and where is price potentially headed for? This is explained in Day 1

and in Dewet's directional bias series.

4. Draw your 4H OBs.

5. Drop to the 1H and refine the 4H. Mark new OBs, preferably that make a strong high/low. What is the trend there

in relation to the 4H (counter/trending)?

6. 15/5M - Important timeframes for further refinements! Mark the AR and Refine 1H OBs. What is the current trend

on the 15M? Find OBs that broke structure on the 15M!

7. Drop to the 1M and start observing OF before and during Asia. What was left unmitigated from yesterday? How

is the order flow in Asia? Where can the market potentially go to pair it with an Asian Range break? Mark some

potential entry zones and scenarios.

8. Then, set alerts at your 15/5M zones and wait! Don't try too hard to trade into those zones, just because you

believe the price will go there.

9. Once price is in your area, you drop to the 1M and start using your entry patterns. As simple as that.
Process:
Simplified Process:
 Exercises

Reading the HTF price delivery on the 1M. Just observe the 1M and try to imagine how the HTFs are going
to look like. OR mark your levels/OBs/certain zones and go on the 1M to examine how it forms there.

Each week, observe different things/concepts! For example, Week 1: I will observe how OBs are formed
on the 1M and identify B2S/S2B. Week 2: I will observe Liquidity - I will spot weak/flat/equal highs and

lows and how they get manipulated. Week 3: I will observe how the markets reacts from OBs and Liquditiy

and mark how I can enter the market. Put it on your agenda and document your findings!!!

Trading Magazine: at the end of each day/week, open up a brand new chart and mark/backtest all
tradeable opportunities that you spot. Make it perfect, but still realistic! Put them in Notion/Powerpoint

with notes and explanations. Utilize all timeframes (4H/1H/15M/1M).

Do a Monthly Observation Challenge: For 1 month, you paper/live/demo trade and you journal
absolutely every opportunity you see or even better - execute on. You do that for 30 days and you can

also combine it with the second exercise.

Do a Monthly Performance Review: after you complete a couple of weeks of observation, you
summarize all learnings, put together a plan and start trading Live for a month. This will give you an

indication of where you really are, in terms of understanding and psychology.

Risk Management
Discussion on how to set up your Risk Plan.
 My Risk Plan

The aim is to catch the Daily Move. Usually, I will have2-3 high probability trades per day. The aim is to catch
one of those, as it's Big RR! 6 bullets per day. 4 losses in a row (2 in LND 2 in NY) - STOP. A winning trade

opens up a new Bullet. I trade from Frankfurt Open to 11AM. I reanalyze at 1:30PM and trade until 4PM.

0.5% Risk for below Initial Balance. Also, 0.5% for Aggressive, Counter/Retracement trades.
1% Risk for Balance above Initial + 4% on top of it! Decrease to 0.5% if I fall below 2% profit, to ensure I stay
afloat and above DD.

1.5% Risk once the profit of the account is above 16%; Decrease to 1% if I fall below 13%.
Secure 80% at 1:4RR! My target is 1% per day secured.

If my Balance falls below 4%, I cut the risk in half - 0.25% per trade. I trade with this until I am above 4%
drawdown. This is to flatline the equity curve.

After a Loss, always re-evaluate the situation. —> Believe in your POI and look to execute again with a new
entry pattern. Observe who is in control and be confident to strike again if an opportunity presents itself! —> If

everything is invalidated, then ask again - who is in control. Find a place to enter with the overall momentum.
Trade Management
Breakeven, SL in profit, Scale-ins.
 Trade Management

Firstly, trade management is personal! First, you need to find out your average SL size on your pairs and observe

the behavior of the pair. With EU you can move your stops below confirmed lows, but with GU you cannot.

The first task is to move to BE! There are a few ways to do that:

Move SL to BE after a Break of structure away from your entry. (then you risk your entry being mitigated)

Move SL to BE after a Mitigation away from your Entry. (observe if there is an OB/S2B/B2S to be mitigated

around your entry point.

Move SL below/above confirmed/strong highs and lows. (your SL therefore will not always be at BE and you

would need a mitigation away and a new break of structure).

 Trade Management

The second task is to manage your SL, Take partials and move SL to profits eventually:

You can choose not to move your SL to BE or Profits. You simply have to take 50% profit at 1:2, 35% at 1:3 OR

20% at 1:4, in order to cover your risk and let your trade breathe.

Partials are also really personal! Personally, I ALWAYS take 70-80% at 5R if the market allows it (if there is a

strong OB or something, I will take it at 4R). You can take 30% at the most recent OB/B2S/S2B and then let

it run for a new HH/LL. Just always make sure to get paid! With partials, your final % return will be lower, but
you NEVER know if you would get your TP hit, so pay yourself.

Managing the SL into profits should be done by using Confirmed Highs and Lows, that left a strong

OB/S2B/B2S and if broken, the trend will be invalidated. Always let the trade breathe.(show example).

It is really important that you figure out your own style of management! We cannot tell you ''do this'', as we

probably trade in a different way. The concepts we utilize are the same, but everyone has his own little

approach, when it comes to entries, SLs, management, etc. So, backtest, do the exercises, gather data and see

what works best for you! Then, put it in your plan.

 Be Yourself!
Follow what feels right for you! Build your own system, plan,
strategy, management rules, case studies, backtests, mindset, etc.
 Trading is a Solo Business.

Even though we are the best community out there, trading is still personal!

You have all the details, concepts, entry patterns and everything within the program, but you have to make it

your own and find out what works best for you!

It is important that you DO NOT compare yourself to other traders and their styles. BE YOU!

You might see a lot of wins, lots of green trades, profits, etc. But you never know what is behind the scenes and

what the trader is dealing with. So cut off the noise.

Let's try to be as transparent and as honest as possible in the team, so we can show everyone the real side of

trading.
