HTF Structure
Daily / Weekly Liquidity or Imbalances - Identify these and the closest target typically
can be used as the draw. Argue for both sides, and see which is stronger at the open for
price to MOST likely draw towards. Large expansions on the daily/weekly can
sometimes have consolidation / range bound days that follow (good to keep this in
mind).
Hourly CISD and Weekly Profiles - PLEASE STUDY THE WEEKLY PROFILES IN THE
CORE CONTENT VIDEOS. Take extensive notes as there is only a handful of different
weekly profiles
Tuesday can form the High/low of the week and can have decent trading
opportunities if conditions are right
Economic Calendar
Weekly Profiles or Daily Profiles utilizing the economic calandar - Economic Calendar
also plays a large role in the weekly profile. Core Content month 7 also covers this.
Macro signatures that are expected to play out during the day resulting from true open -
Typically 90 mins after the true session open, the volatility drops off and the market
becomes a bit harder to read. Macros before this are highest in probability (most times),
and ones after can be used if DOL is not met.
Market Profiles
London Sesssion
Standard London Protraction - London creates the H/L of the day by sweeping asian
session range then continuing in the other direction.
London Consol - London consolidates, can lead to manipulation and reversal in new
york.
Expansion during London - If a large expansion occurs, watch for a low probability
NYAM session (at least for the first 30 mins)
London + Asian Ranges being used as DOL. If both the Asian and London session
range high or lows that have not been pierced, this can be used as a DOL for the NY
session assuming there is context we reverse.
AM Session
Reversal - DOL is met or there is a weekly profile that would allow NYAM to reverse.
Typically harder to spot then the others and needs to have a decent amount of narrative
and context behind it.
Continuation- Typically starts with a retracement into the previous leg out of london, but
then continues in the direction price was already heading. Seen as expansion moves
during NY
Manipulation- When London session is range bound and does not have a lot of
movement, NY session (if it opens close enough) can see manipulation through London
H/L then reversing aggresively to HTF points of interest
Trends
Trend Start typically at true open of the session (8:30 or 9:30), Trend Ends NORMALLY
around 10:30 or 11:00am, but can see continuation through lunch. (CORE CONTENT
MONTH 10 AM TRADE SETUPS).
Hourly CISD - Hourly chart order flow (which order blocks are being respected) can help
identify the HTF trend. Wednesday and days after are best to capture continuation
moves with the trend.
🔑 8:30 news will most times sweep liquidity, then continue in the other direction.
Use the macros as continuation entries towards DOL, then wait for a proper
market shift to target the News High / Low.
8:50 Macro
8:30 News High Probability
I prefer to use it when 8:30 news sweeps liquidity, and the macro is used as an entry
towards the opposing side before the 9:30 volatility. Typically this creates a nice
expansion move leading into the equities open.
Other than news, best 8:50 macro occurs when there is a clear MMXM (liquidity sweep,
breaker formation, and opposing DOL).
Judas Swing - 9:30 to 10:00 most times will want to see a judas swing towards the
opposing side of the range if we are expecting an expansion in the other direction. If
there is no judas swing present, there are other market conditions that can predict this,
or we may see a reversal/deep retracement in the rest of the AM session. SMT NEEDS
TO BE COMPARED DURING THIS TIME WINDOW TO IDENTIFY FAILURE SWINGS.
News @ 10 am
8:30 & 10am News - When both are present: Watch for 8:30 news to delivery a sweep
of liquidity, and if opposing objective is not yet met, expect 10am news to be an
expansionary driver.
- Example → 9:30 judas then expanding into 10am, 10am to 10:20 retraces back into
the range, 10:20ish to 10:50 expands again towards target
Could also start the retracement leg, giving 10:30 macro an entry towards liquidity
Can start a MMXM towards the low/high that was formed and can see a 10:30 Macro
entry.
Depending on what occured in the first hour, we can predict which has the
higher probability of playing out. There are macros that can be used as entry
tools towards these specific liquidity pools.
Turtle Soup / Reversal- If there is a LARGE expansion during the AM session already,
then look for consolidation (could be small) at the end of the range before the 10:30 to
10:45 provides a turtle soup reversal back into the range.
Normally 20-30% is targeted within the rest of the AM session before lunch
50% can be targeted for the rest of the day if there is willingness.
Best to study the daily profiles (Index Trend Setups from Core Content)
Reversal stage (difficult to expect when early on) - When price has met the target and
expanded a great deal during NY session, watch to see if there will be a sharp reversal
back to 50% of the dealing range going into lunch hour. Although this can also just
