Consistent candles Indecisive candles

All in same direction Not all in same direction
Displacement Lack of displacement
High probability to Continue Low probability to continue
FVG = 3 candle formation with expansive middle
candle causing a gap between the wicks of candles 1
and 3
FVGs show displacement in the market and a desire to
move towards a further target
FVGs can be used for everything from higher time
frame levels, directional bias, trade entries, and stop
losses
Some FVGs have a higher probability of continuing
than others
 Displacement IRL > ERL

Displacement = Continuation Price is always moving to a high, low, or fvg

Manipulation = Reversal External Range Liquidity (ERL) = High/Low
Displacement is confirmed with FVGs Internal Range Liquidity (IRL) = FVG

 BSG Failed BSG Inflection Points

BSG = Break Structure Gap If a BSG fails, look for the opposing swing point as a Inflection points are found by extending out the level
BSG are the most important FVGs as they are the target of structure that was broken
life blood of a trend Failure = opposing candle closes through, or inverts Inflection point + BSG = key level
BSG must follow consistency rule Can be used as an opposing level after inversion Should see displacement away from IP if price is going
to continue
iFVG = inverted fair value gap
High probability iFVGs occur:

At two-​sided gaps
At BSGs,
After sweeps of liquidity

When iFVG is confirmed, look for

opposing liquidity
Can be used for entry or bias

Market structure is simply highs and lows. The key is Market structure is the foundation of your analysis,

Manipulation legs fail to "displace" or push
rapidly BEYOND structure

Displacement legs DISPLACE or push rapidly

through structure

Manipulation = reversal

Displacement = continuation

Pair with other concepts for higher probability

than when used alone
Impulse structure is structure that forms with
displacement and fair value gaps (FVG)

HTF impulses = many LTF impulses

Impulses can be used to confirm HTF zones

Don't pay attention to structure that isn't an

impulse (MvD)

All trends come to an end, and there is a way to

gauge when impulses are likely to return
If trading is a business, candles are your product

Do you want to sell your product for a premium,

or a discount?

Do you want to buy your product for a premium,

or a discount?

0.5 of impulse = fair market value

Above fair market value = premium

Below fair market value = discount

Reversals are likely to happen in premium or

discount in context of the previous price leg
 What is Liquidity? Why is it important?

Liquidity is the ease at which an asset can be bought In a bullish market, you buy from sellers, under lows,
or sold. We look for liquidity beyond highs or lows, as at sell-​side liquidity.
there are stop losses placed using these levels. On a
chart we view this using tools such as highs and lows In a bearish market, you sell to buyers, above highs,
or fair value gaps. at buy-​side liquidity.

This is how the large market participants operate, and

so should you.

Order blocks are candles formed just before Order blocks can be used for many purposes, such as

R = Total Drawdown / Number of Consecutive Losses

Likely
1R risk from breakeven
2R risk when 2R in profit
0.5R risk when in drawdown
2 losses OR 1 win = STOP TRADING
Trimming is better than breakeven stops
