PLAN

- Open the 15m chart on your pair, and put 2-3 days of
data on to your screen. For example, if it is Wednesday
25th, you’ll have the current day, plus all the data to the
start of Monday 23rd on your screen.
- Use these 2-3 days to discover the overall trend
(uptrend, downtrend, sideways).
- What you do next depends on your overall trend. If
price is strongly trending up or down, you need 1 break of
structure in line with that trend, to have a set up. OR, if you
have 2 or more consecutive breaks of structure in the
same direction, you’ll have a set up too.

- Once a set up has formed, draw your 15m structure line
to the candle close of the broken structure.
-- Also, draw your 5m deep test zone (DTZ).
Wait for price to pull back to your broken structure level
on the 15m - now you can start looking for an entry here, or
at a DTZ if it pulls back that far.
- With a minor retest, you can enter a trade on the rst
entry trigger candle you see on the retest. Set your SL 3-4
pips past the entry structure for GBP or Gold pairs, and 2-3
pips past the entry structure for everything else.
- With a major retest, you must wait for a 5m reversal
pattern, unless on a GBP pair, or unless price is at the
SOSP DTZ (See the reversal patterns video and the cheat
sheets). On GBP pairs you can enter on the rst entry
trigger even on major retests. The rules for setting your SL
are the same here as on a minor retest.
- The entry triggers are either an engul ng candle
pattern or a pin bar. The entry triggers must have the same
close as the direction of your trade (i.e. for sells the entry
candle must be a bearish candle, or for buys then entry
candle must be a bullish candle).
- Set your Take pro t at 1R, 1.5R or 2R depending on the
targeting rules you follow.
- Watch the Taking Pro t video for speci c rules.
Trade management:
Allow for spread: When you have taken your entry and set
your stop loss to the correct values (you can see the exact
values your SL and TP should be at by looking at the trade on
TradingView) add the spread on to your SL on your
metatrader. This is to make sure your trade follows the pure
technicals as closely as possible. For example, if you take a

sell and your SL should be at 1.10000 on TradingView and
your spread is 0.5 pips, adjust your SL on meta trader to
1.10005.
