My Notes An area were “smart money” entered the market as buyers or
My Trade as sellers. Price determination is decided by Institutional
Journals context in which retail traders (us) can employ proper concepts
to track the footprints of bigger market role players. The
Log out
difference between resistance/support and supply/demand is
that supply and demand tend to be fresh untouched areas of
interest that can potentially provide short term liquidity (price
power) to temporarily give the market a reversal as for
resistance/support they represent historical pivot price lines
that have played a crucial point in previous price outlining.

Orderblocks: (Supply and Demand)

Orderblocks are zones in which price marks as a level of
interest in where liquidity was injected to be used at a later
time. When role players move the market away they tend to
leave footprints for us retail traders to pick up on. These market
zones can aid in ensuring that when proper metrics are used
you're able to capitalize off areas that leave behind untapped
liquidity. Orderblocks are areas that either give support or
resistance depending on the market bias that you impose.
Using orderblocks tend to give precision entries. I will show 3
diff examples on each One that is commonly used, one that is
effective and how I personally use these zones

Will also be showing examples on 3 different methods to mark

out S/D Levels.
Common Practice
Using the OTE
Personal Practice

Simply Put:

In order for a proper orderblock to be labeled you need a

market structure break (MSB)
A market structure break confirms a trend shift. Once you have
the trend shift thats when you start looking for any formed
supply/demand areas. The way you mark out MSB is all
personal preference

Example A:

A. Up candle ( bullish candle ) prior to the move down that

broke market structure.
 1. (MSB) Market Structure Break: Market structure is
broken indicating orderflow wants to trend price lower.
2. Up move before the down candle that led to break in

personally I like to see a swing point get ran. Why? Swing
points are often areas where traders like to leave their

Before smart money can engineer liquidity there needs to
be liquidity to be collected. Liquidity is ran and collected
shortly after the up candle before the break in Market

What is market structure and the importance:
My Trade
Journals

Log out Market structure gives you a dialogue when reading the
market. When you follow market structure you can easily
determine the flow of the market and place trades based on
the trend direction. Market structure forms and gives you an
idea when the market comes to a stop and starts a directional
trend.

Reading market structure gives you an idea of which way price

will flow and you can “trade the trend”

Chart Diagram:
A) Market Range

A market ranges prior to starting a directional trend.

A market will range and the directional trend is based off order
flow conditions (will cover in a later lesson) When a market
comes off an accumulation phase it’s always followed by an
uptrend, when a market comes off a distribution phase it's
always followed by a downward trend.

In the example below the market is in a well defined range with

a swing high and swing low on each side on a high time frame
(weekly)

The market goes from a trending to a ranging environment and

from ranging to a trending environment. When a market
ranges its either accumulating before it starts a trend up or
distributing before it starts a trend down.
B) Market Structure

1. In order for price to continue an upward trend it needs to

make a higher high meaning it would need to break and close
outside the high to the left. Price fails to make a higher high
and instead proceeds lower.
2. Price comes into the low of the range and failed to make a
higher low but rather closed outside the low on the left. At this
point market structure has been broken and a possible market
structure shift is in play.
3. Price comes back to the mid level of the range and struggles
to trade above and instead makes a lower high. More
indication that a shift in market structure will occur.

C) Market Structure Shift

1. Series of lower highs and lower lows start to form. The

market is in a clear downtrend and every time a swing low is
made is when you should look for short opportunities and
zoom into well defined levels. You can use levels such as weekly
opens-monthly opens- daily opens to give you an ideal entry in
regards to the directional trend.
2. Good example of an ideal entry revolved around directional
market structure. Price raids a previous swing high prior to
continuing downward trend.
3. Downtrend continuation- market continues after presenting
a trading environment.
D) Use Case Scenario

Using the example from above in greater detail:

1. Swing high forms (Lower High). Using our lower high as our
swing high we mark out the level and we take note that price
has come into it.

2. Swing High Swept Zooming into a time frame that gives us

more information we can see that price has swept/deviated the
lower high in an attempt to break market structure to the
upside. After engineering liquidity by running the previous
swing high (lower high) we can assume based off the
directional trend that the market will continue downward after
failing to shift market structure to the upside.

3. After price previously swept the swing high we get a third

drive in which the risk reward supports shorts since the trend is
downward and price has swept a previous high.
4. Setup: Entry: After price sweeps you would enter on the
third tap. If bearish there would be no need to run the same
high twice. I'll elaborate more when i go over ranges. Stop loss
would be placed above last recent high. Target would be the
last lower low prior to make a lower high. Easy 23R setup +

Log out trading. They are often misinterpreted in only being used one
way. Personally I use them in several different ways with swing
points, market structure breaks and market structure shifts. I'll
include the basic understanding of what is known and include
some personal ways that I use them. It's best to message me if
you have any questions since I expect this write up to be heavy
when it comes to how I use them and the common way of
using them.

A breaker is a failed OrderBlock. Similar to OrderBlocks they are

demand/supply levels that indicate larger players are entering
the market or mitigating their losses. Price breakers make for
excellent entries in a given market. Breakers are usually formed
after they have taken a short term high, low or in some cases
market structure shifts.

In order for a breaker to be considered it needs to be formed

as an orderblock first. (Lesson 1)

Common Practice

Personal Practice:

Keep in mind this is my way of marking breakers. It's tweaked

to my trading style and what I've found works along the way.
Marked up several examples not in any order.

Bearish Breaker Example

1. Price engineers liquidity: Engineer liquidity prior to the

opposing move
2. Market Structure Break : Price Shift indicating change in
orderflow
3. Orderblock that led to break fails to hold as a bullish OB and
flips bearish Breaker
4. Market Structure Shift and looking for return to breaker
5. Price returns to breaker, entry below, stop above and target
swing lows.
Bullish breaker Example
1. Price engineers liquidity: Engineer liquidity prior to the
opposing move
2. Price Sweep engineering more liquidity (upside likely)
3. Price fails to hold as bearish OB (OB that led to sweep) and
flips Bullish Breaker
4. H4 Breaker forms, and H1 Market structure shift with test of
H4 Bullish Formed Breaker
Bullish Breaker Example
1. Price engineers liquidity: Engineer liquidity prior to the
opposing move
2. Market Structure Break : Price Shift indicating change in
orderflow
3. Orderblock that led to break fails to hold as a bearish OB
and flips bullish Breaker
4. Bullish breaker forms and price moves away to next area of
liquidity

Bullish breaker Example

1. Price engineers liquidity: Engineer liquidity prior to the

opposing move

2. Price Sweep engineering more liquidity (upside likely)

3. Price fails to hold as bearish OB (OB that led to sweep) and

My Trade
Journals What is a ranging market
Log out
Market structure is key as I have described in lesson 2. When
you have a trending market in one direction you consistently
have a series of higher lows/higher highs and or lower
lows/lower highs.

Ranging markets proceeds a trending market. Rather than

making a new high and a new low, the basis of the market is
that it finds support at a common low and resistance at a
common high.

The market trends then it ranges. The orderflow of this can be

consolidation before continuation, reversal, accumulation,
distribution etc. It all falls under the same trading conditions
and that is that the market is ranging before directional trend.

In a trending market its common to trade the trend in terms of

waiting for pull backs anticipating a similar direction. In a
ranging market you will have a top and a bottom, bouncing
back and forth.

Ranges, Deviations and MSB+ Ranges + Setups

Ranges : Period in the market of consolidation, accumulation,
distribution etc. (Orderflow)
Ranges + EQ: identifying range direction using mid range
Deviations: Trades below/above set range (false break) before
ultimately trading back in mean range.
Ranges using Market structure break/deviations and how
to set up: My personal way of playing ranges with
supply/demand levels.

Ranges

Chart Diagram(s)

As mentioned above the market will come off a trend and

“relax”. At this point you'll have key swing points that form.
There is no right way how you personally identify a key range
and as the range goes on you must keep looking for swing
points that are confluent with set range. Ideally you can take
the first low that forms off a down trending market followed by
the high and the first high that forms from an up trending
market followed by the first low.
After the market comes to a period of consolidation following a
downtrend/uptrend it will usually be followed by an immediate
swing low/high. These swing points will be your range high and
range low. The market ideally will trend between these key
points using them as support and resistance and as forms of
liquidity in the market.

The .5 Is the EQ short for equilibrium and the mid part of a set
range. Trading above the EQ usually signals a bullish trend and
is attracted to the range high. Trading below EQ is usually
considered bearish and is attracted to the range low. It is the
fair value price of mean range.

Using your fib retracement tool mark out as I have.

Price forms a swing high followed by a swing low. Price
trades between set ranges before revisiting each area of
the set ranging and sweeping both ends.
Range Example

Price comes off a uptrend and forms a swing low followed

by a swing high. Again how to define your ranges is all
personal preference. I tend to always flip back and forth to
what gives the highest confluence.

1. Market comes off set trend and consolidates before

further direction
2. Swing Low is formed following the uptrend
3. Swing High is formed following the swing low mark.

4. Swing Low is swept (liquidity engineered): After the

market raids one side of the range it is likely it will raid the
second part of the range.
5. Swing High is swept (liquidity engineered) following the
swept range low we then come to the opposite side of the
range.

Ranges with EQ

The EQ (equilibrium) is the mid range of a set range. It is

considered the fair value in the mean range. Above EQ we
are “bullish” and more likely to tag range high and below
EQ we are “bearish” and more likely to tag range low. The
EQ is a strong pivot in price and often gives good
support/resistance.

Range EQ Example
1. Market comes off set trend and consolidates before
further direction
2. Swing Low is formed following the downtrend
3. Swing High is formed following the swing low mark.
4 Price unable to hold EQ and ultimately comes back to
range low. Once EQ breaks we have a strong uptrend to
range high.
Range EQ Example
1. Swing High is formed following the downtrend
2. Swing Low is formed following the swing low mark.
3. Swing Low Ran following range identification
4 Price unable to break EQ and ultimately suppressed
below it
5. EQ Break which shifts price to the upper part of the
range which indicates range high next
6. Swing high swept following range low sweep and EQ
break

Range Deviations

Range deviations “false breakout” is when price directs

away from mean range before ultimately breaking back
into it. In most cases range deviations are an extremely
good sign that price will revisit the opposing side of the
range upon breaking back in. 2 different examples below

1. Swing Low is formed following the downtrend

2. Swing High is formed following the swing low mark.
3. Swing Low Ran following range identification
4. Price deviates below key swing low/range low before
breaking back into range
5. Swing high is ran following range deviation reclaim

Ranges using Market structure break/deviations and

how to set up:

This is how I personally trade set ranges using market

structure breaks and formed demand/supply levels.

EXAMPLE 1:
Following the price deviation and break back into the set
range we identify any formed demand/supply levels
following market structure break.

H12 Breaker (demand) formed following MSB.

Price comes into it before ultimately going for range high.

Entry would be at top of breaker (demand) with a stop
slightly below range low.
EXAMPLE 2:

Following the price deviation and break back into the set
range we identify any formed demand/supply levels
following market structure break.

Daily OB (demand) formed following MSB. Price comes

into it before ultimately going for range high.

Entry would be at top of OB (demand) with a stop slightly

below range low.
Example 3:

1. Deviation confirmed once we break back inside range.

2. Supply forms following the market structure break and
shift.
3. Price sweep into M30 Supply following MS Shift and
MSB

4 Entry identified following the sweep and price unable to

shift in a new high. Stop loss placement above the swept
high. If price is trending we should not revisit the same
high twice in this scenario. Target would be range low.

5. 0 drawdown for the most part. Deviations + MSB +

formed supply/demand levels are usually a nice setup.

A fair value gap is a liquidity void in the market that has price
efficiency. Areas in the market that only offer one participant
that tend to fill the remaining participants at a later time. More
sellers than buyers; more buyers than sellers.

Criteria

1. Consolidation:

Price consolidates and forms a supply/demand prior to break.

2. Manipulated Expansion:

Price trends one direction in a sudden movement disregarding

formed levels in between.

3. Price Retracement

Price slowly retraces to previously formed supply/demand

filling the price inefficiencies.
Examples 1: Bearish Case

1. Consolidation

Price consolidations for a period of time. Between

consolidation we have bracketing orders. Orders are being
traded between a set range constantly exchanging hands. At
the same during this consolidation we have bigger market
players filling their positions.

In this example we have a consolidation that led to bigger role

players filling their longs in a long period of time. Prior to the
up move we form a demand level. (Heavy selling to lure retail
to short to quickly offset a break to the upside.)

2. Manipulated Expansion:

Rather than creating a series of HH/HL price instead quickly

expands disregarding resistance on the way up.

The market's goal is to lure traders. During this break in the

market we can clearly foretell that it was a manipulated move in
the fashion that it broke straight up instead of a more organic
move up. This price pole is heavily favored towards long sides
and didn't give any period of time for short positions to fill.

Participants get lured into thinking that we are breaking out

and start longing this period of price action at the top while
those who filled long positions below start unloading their
positions on retail while filling their short positions.

3. Price Retracement

Price slowly retraces the breakout move to the origin of the

move which in this case would be formed daily demand.

Considering the nature of the breakout and how quickly it

happened we can assume that this was only a long driven move
in the market. Longs being filled out weighting the market and
the sentiment as price retraces market role players start filling
shorts to fill the price inefficiency.

Examples 2: Bullish Case

1. Consolidation

Price consolidations for a period of time. Between

consolidation we have bracketing orders. Orders are being
traded between a set range constantly exchanging hands. At
the same during this consolidation we have bigger market
players filling their positions.

In this example we have a consolidation that led to bigger role

players filling their shorts in a long period of time. Prior to the
down move we form a supply level. (Heavy buying to lure retail
to long to quickly offset a break to the downside.)

2. Manipulated Expansion:

Rather than creating a series of LH/LL price instead quickly

expands disregarding support on the way down.

The market's goal is to lure traders. During this break in the

market we can clearly foretell that it was a manipulated move in
the fashion that it broke straight down instead of a more
organic move down. This price pole is heavily favored towards
the short side and didn't give any period of time for long
positions to fill.

Participants get lured into thinking that we are breaking down

and start shorting this period of price action at the bottom
while those who filled short positions above start unloading
their positions on retail while filling their long positions.
3. Price Retracement

Price slowly retraces the breakdown move to the origin of the

move which in this case would be formed daily supply.

Considering the nature of the breakdown and how quickly it

happened we can assume that this was only a long driven move
in the market. Shorts being filled out weighting the market and
the sentiment as price retraces market role players start filling
longs to fill the price inefficiency.

Log out This is one of my bread and butter/go to setups when it presents
itself. In this lesson i wanted to tackle the psychology behind the
setup to my understanding and why it tends to work. This type of
setup is all about trapping traders as well as shifting a reversal
structure.

Will be using Line charts as well as candle stick to discuss this

strategy. Line charts often offer a clear structure overlay and
confirmed with body candles.

Chart Diagram:

Bullish Case
Breaker Strategy Step 1: The Low Forms

Identifying the first liquidity pocket + Range:

As the market trends it reaches a point of "exhaustion" this is the
first sign that the dominant market participants have begun
distributing their positions.

Market breaks structure before temporally reversing from the

formed swing low. Using the fib retracement we mark our swing
low followed by the first swing high created. We have our range
Buyers have stepped into the market and we shift temporarily
from a short term ranging market into a short term ranging
market. Areas of interest for longs: at the value area low; simply
put at the area where buyers initially stepped in.

I've attached a separate range using the line chart alone.

Step 2: Deviation below/sweep of Key swing point.

As the market ranges it temporally shifts to the downside and

runs the low.

Lets pretend for a second i am the market maker and i want to fill
100m worth of longs. What needs to happen? in order for me to
fill a size that big people need to short in order for my position
to fill. But; what if no one is shorting? well, you have to start the
move in the opposite direction of what you intend to fill to
attract those shorting to fill your larger position size.

By returning to the previous low; this is a sign of weakness for

breakout traders. Market participants expecting lower prices
jump in at any formed supply/injection point/foot print for the
down move.

Now using what we know about supply and demand, we take the
first up move before the break in MS/Sweep and that is your
supply.

Below is your supply this is were sellers will start stepping in

more into the market and laddering sells as this was the first foot
print in the market that led to the down move that took out the
low.
Step 3: Market Structure Shift

Alright this one is a major one and of importance.

In order for you to confirm a breaker you need to confirm a

structure shift with a higher high printing above previous swing
points. Do not enter a break unless you shift a new high first, the
flipped supply is now the area you want to look for a higher low
before trending to the next liquidity pocket.

Why is this break of importance?

Those looking for a footprint in the market failed to read the

market and ended up shorting a valid supply but one with no
supply at all considering we broke though and created a new
high. This level needs to hold since it is the level that initiated the
first trap of market participants entering short. Anything below
would invalid the shifted trend.
Step 4: Retest of Formed Breaker

Following the market structure break and shift of a new high

(Higher High) you then look for the origin of where the initial
footprint was for a higher low which would be flipped supply
now turned demand.

Considering you have market participants trapped below you

have have to ask yourself; are we going to allow them to exit at
breakeven or run their stops above. This demand is a pivot in the
market in the sense that anything below gives those trapped an
exit out of their trades which it becomes an institutional
defended level.
Bearish Case

Most of the logic was explained in the Bullish case so wont be

going over it extensively here.

Price flow follows two directional trends. Simply put; you either
have a ranging market or a trending market.

Orderflow: Price Trends/Price ranges/ Price Trends

Price can either distribute/re accumulate during a range period.

When the market is trending its suggested you have a directional
bias When the market exhausts and starts ranging your
directional bias needs to be filtered and adoption of an equal
bias is better put in this type of market environment. You never
fully know for how long a market will pause before re
establishing a new trend so its best to adjust to what is in front of
you. Don't expect an immediate break out of every small
exhaustion but rather adjust and wait for the break itself.

Chart Diagram:
Criteria:

1. Range Forms

The market will exhaust and you'll come across two swing points
which will be the layout for your range. Playing ranges is all
subjective but in most cases i take the first two swing points that
form.

2. Price Sweep/Deviation

Once range is identified look for price sweeps (sfps)/deviations

on either end, Price sweeps tend to be liquidity runs in a set
range before moving into the next liquidity pool which in a range
bound would be the opposing side. Range deviations tend to be
areas that market participants are being trapped in which those
expecting a directional trend to appear will enter breakout
positions which Intune breaks back into a ranging environment
and they become trapped participants in the market.

3. Market Structure Break (MSB)

Following a price sweep/deviation we now have a hint that price

wants the opposing side of a range. Looking for market structure
break you can confirm SD levels that form for an entry aimed at
the opposed side of a range. Trading is about having multiple
confluences aimed at a trade setup; using a price
sweep/deviation isn't enough when the actual structure itself is
still intact. Using a market structure break + sweep/deviation lets
you put perspective as to how strong a formed Supply/Demand
level will be as well high confidence on a formed level.
4. Formed Supply/Demand

Once you have an area of liquidity tapped in the form of a price

sweep/deviation and given confluence with a market structure
break you then identify your entry points. In this case it would be
any formed S/D level that led to the break in MS.

5. Take Profit

Take profit at the untapped area of the range. (untapped

liquidity)

Example

1. Range Forms

Following the exhaustion of a trend; we identify our swing points.

Range low/High forms.

2. Price Sweep/Deviation

Once the range is identified; we have a sweep of the high. Those

with stops above the previous swing high (range high) had their
stops engineered into short liquidity. When a stop triggers on a
short setup, you open a long on market to offset the opposing
bid side on the books. These orders that are opened when a stop
is triggered are then used to fill the orders of other market
participants.

3. MSB (Market Structure Break)

Using a price sweep/deviation to determine market direction is

not enough, you need market structure to follow. Once you have
your price sweep you start looking for valid swing lows that led
into the price sweep swing high. You want to see these lows
broken on a closing basis. The market low is a swing low that
stands out in which price breaks the low.

Price sweep of range high followed by a market structure break =

high confidence short

4. Formed Supply/Demand
Following a price sweep/deviation + market structure break we
then look for our formed Supply.

Last up move before the series of candles leading in the break.

This level gives you a hint that there was buying to lure retail
traders to buy while "institutional" or key market role players
were filling shorts using retail traders long liquidity that was
being provided. Using this footprint in the market, it is now a
must hold area if the shift is valid.

Valid form of supply.

5. Take Profit

Easy enough, target the opposite side of liquidity that is

untapped. When the market ranges, we move from liquidity
pocket into the next area of liquidity pocket.

Swing high is tapped, the next area of interest is the swing low.

This lesson will cover a set strategy for gaining confirmation for
taking a setup within a SD level or simply looking to scalp a HTF
level with tight stops. It is very common for market participants
to short/long the first tap of a formed level once we have a MSB
which is an aggressive entry. When looking for confirmation for a
SD level you at times want to be able to zoom in and look for
price sweep inside these levels.

As price forms a SD level you have a set of defined orders within

that level ready to fill at the same time you stop engineering
liquidity at the SD.

Instead of getting in on the first taps you await LTF Sweeps as

they are short term fuel which help indicate that price is gearing
up for a directional move.

Criteria is as such:
1. Market Structure Break
Indication that the trend has shifted to the opposite end.

2. SD level forms following MSB

Supply/Demand forms following MSB
3. Confirmation of a trade following a sweep
Price sweep into a key SD level is your trade confirmation with
price at the swept high/low. If trend is true price shouldn't sweep
the same level twice.

Example 1

1. Market Structure break

MSB indication that the trend has shifted

2 SD (H1 Breaker forms following MSB)

H1 Breaker forms following MSB. You have your first set of taps
into this level

3. Short confirmation following a sweep into H1 Breaker

Confirmation to enter a short with stops above the swept high.
Example 2

1. Market Structure break MSB indication that the trend has

shifted

2 SD Forms following MSB Supply forms following MSB. You

have your first set of taps into this level

3. Short confirmation following a sweep into H1 Breaker

Confirmation to enter a short with stops above the swept high.

NOTE: This lesson does not provide a trading method but
rather an idea how the market will be moving via orderflow.
This lesson was extremely difficult since everything covered in
here is to my own knowledge and take away points I've come
across throughout my trading career. I can't point you to a
resource to validate some of the key points covered so feel free
to ask any questions you might have. Had to do this lesson
over and over and the best way to illustrate directional bias
with Mondays range is just to show you different examples and
break them down. I'll try to include some setup ideas.

Mondays Range Importance Traditional markets are 24/5 with

Monday being the first day of the week. Following Mondays
close we have our first sell stops and buys stops that are visible
in the form of swing points (highs and lows) Mondays range is
liquidity rather than price levels. Finding an entry is all dynamic
to your trading system. Mondays Range is designed to give you
an idea how the market is moving intraweek. These swing
points are what opposing market participants have deemed to
be protected and as well as the starting liquidity into the week.
Trading on a Monday whether it be traditional markets or
crypto is never a good idea. At the start of the week our
understanding whether we are starting a new trend or ranging
is unclear. The best you can do is wait for price to close on
Monday and form a Gameplan off of that. Personally I only note
Mondays High/Lows intra week and if we left any untapped the
previous week ill look for a power of 3 into those left untapped.
I don't go back further then the intraweek or the previous
week.

Mondays Range Key Points - Price forms a High and a Low

following the first close of the week. (Sell Stops-Buy Stops) -
Price in a ranging environment has a higher chance of raiding
both ends. - Price raid early in the week has a higher chance of
a price raid on the opposing end with a strong momentum +
trend start. (Especially in crypto) - Power of 3 are designed to
take out old buy/sell stops (I only look at previous week)

Note I've included some bonus content on entering these

setups. Again its all dynamic

Chart Diagram:

Example 1 Basic Mondays Range:

Asset: NZDCAD
Weekly open marked out and we have our first high and lows
into the start of the week.

What do you see?

I see a sweep of Mondays Low into weekly open. The buy stops
formed early on in the week have been engineered and swept.
(Bullish SFP)

The next likely scenario given price is ranging is we run the sell
stops at the opposing end, Mondays High.

Following Mondays Low sweep we then start trending towards

the end of the week into Mondays High.

Example 2: -

Price raid early in the week has a higher chance of a price raid
on the opposing end with a strong momentum + trend start.
(Especially in crypto)
Asset: LTCBTC

Weekly open marked out and we have our first high and lows
into the start of the week.

Mondays High (Sell Stops) taken on the second day of trading.

What do you see? How do you translate this?

Mondays High broken on the second day of trading. Any price

weakness moving into the week should be faded/shorted.
Looking for shorts early in the week are higher rewarded given
the sell stops have been taken.

Take profit reference would be Mondays Low but given we took

out the stops early in the week price can be indicating a bigger
downtrend is coming

Given price raided Mondays High early on in the week. The raid
into Mondays Low (buy stops) was more aggressive and traded
below weekly open the rest of the week.

Bonus
Hindsight Setup

-H1 Breaker forms since it was the last down move that took
out Mondays High.
-Price comes back below and MSB (Shifts a new low) -
Price proceeds to retest the formed H1 Breaker.
-Entry at H1 breaker and TP at Mondays low for 2.6R

Example 3:

-Power of 3 and using previous week Mondays High/Low (Old

Stops)

Asset: Bitcoin

Here is 2 weeks worth of data and 2 Mondays range.

Week 1:

One run Mondays high within the intraweek trading period but
fail to run Mondays Low leading into the weekly close.

What does this tell us?

Sell stops above were engineered mid week while leaving the
buy stops in place.
If price wishes to uptrend we cant give a free ride to those long
without tapping their stops for fuel.

Power of 3 setup into Week 2.

Entering the new week of trading we know that we have old
buy stops at previous Mondays Low.
So lets run it down. Price consolidates within a set price range-
mid range of Mondays H/L

Entering Week 2 price finally breaks down and not only takes
out intraweek 2 stops it also takes out the old stops from the
previous week 1.

Price consolidation followed by a stop run of the previous lows.

Liquidity engineering.

What do we see?
Now we have week 2 sell stops above (Mondays High)
untapped. The likely scenario is to take those stops next.

Expansion.

Here is the setup below: (One that we took as a group)

Time Price Opportunity/ Market Profiling Basics

My
Account

My Notes NOTE: Market profiling is a very dynamic way of reading the

markets. The way I personally use TPO Charts is to aid my price
My Trade
Journals action charts and at the same time I am a novice with TPO. I
know the basics and I have a decent understanding. If you wish
Log out to dive deeper feel free to send me a message and I will direct
you where to begin. I will very briefly cover this lesson and you
guys are welcome to ask questions.

Teaching Market profiling is like teaching Price Action all over

again so expect me to brush over a lot of concepts and just
target the ones you might need to know to start with.

NOTE I only use daily profiles but you can break down a daily
profile and view different time increments. Given I am a price
action trader I only need as much as a daily time frame to
reinforce a prediction in the market.

TPO: Time Price Opportunity

A TPO Chart measures the time price spends at a given price

level. TPO Charts allow you to view areas where the market is
being traded at and give significance to those areas.

With market profiling you are able to see an auction in the

market. Bids vs asks to give you a broad perspective of the
market. TPO charts allow you to see what area price is accepted
at a 50/50 between buyers and sellers and what area buyers
overpower sellers; sellers overpower buyers.

In this lesson I will cover what the levels mean with the
appropriate terms aswell as some easy to play concepts.

PLATFORMS

The 2 platforms that I know of that allow you to see use TPO
charts are SierraCharts and ExoCharts. There are a lot of setup
videos on YouTube including one in our discord resources
section.

Open/Close + POC + Fair Value Areas+ High and Low

Each one of these units is a day in the market, daily profile.

-DAILY OPEN AND DAILY CLOSE

The Green block is the open for the day while the red block is
the closing for the daily profile.

-POC (Point of Control)

The POC is the orange line.

The POC is the area where price traded the most for a given
day.
This is the level that both buyers and sellers accepted price at a
50/50.
Not one group took over the other but equal balance between
both buyers/sellers

-FAIR VALUE AREA

The grey blocks are the standard distribution

The standard distribution for any given day is 69%
This simply means that price trades within the 69% range of a
daily profile, 69% of price was traded in the grey while the most
accepted distribution was the POC

-Value Area High: (VaH)

The Value Area High (VaH) is the top of the daily profile marked
out in the blue shaded area with the value area high blue line.
This is the area were price was outside the standard
distribution; outside the fair value area 69%
Sellers dominated over buyers. This is the area where the
bracketing process between buyers/sellers was mostly in favor
of sellers

-Buyers did not show up here/did not wish to buy above here
while this was the level that sellers found most attractive to sell
for a given daily profile.

-Value Area Low: (VaL)

Opposite of VaH
The Value Area Low (VaL) is the bottom of the daily profile
marked out in the blue shaded area with the value area low
blue line.

This is the area were price was outside the standard

distribution; outside of the fair value area 69%

Buyers dominated over sellers. This is the area where the

bracketing process between buyers/sellers was mostly in favor
of buyers.
POC + NAKED POC

Point of Control:

As mentioned above, the point of control is the level where

price was bracketed/traded the most in a given day. As price
ranges the likelihood for us to test the previous day POC is
high.

You have your daily profiles, when you composite 7 days that's
a week. In a weekly profile its common for price to trade back
and forth between the POC and the value areas.

From the chart below 17/18 days we kept trading between the
previous day poc taking it out day after day. This is a ranging
environment in which price returns to the mean the 50/50 of a
given range.

Naked POC:

Extended orange line at the bottom.

As price breaks out of a range its common for us to leave a few

POC's untapped these are your naked poc levels more often
than not when price breaks back into the same range that it
broke out of it will come back for the missed POCs.

How do we translate this into a Price Action Chart?

each line represents one full day

Each day we tend to trade 69% in a given value area with
excessive highs and lows.

When you start adding ranges and composing multiple days

together then we can find a good price action range. In any
given range you want to buy the lows/sell the highs. Using
market profile we can give confluence to these lows and step in
when buyers showed up and sell when sellers showed up.

The EQ of a range can be seen as the fair value area, the area
you dont want to trade as its the most accepted price leve.
Extras:

Poor Lows/Poor Highs

Every daily profile reflects one daily candle.

On every daily candle you have an open/close aswell as a top

and bottom wick. When you look at the daily market profiles
you can tell that some are without a wick these are considered
anomalies in the market (Areas that later come to get filled)

Poor High (First Chart Below)

Marked out the poor high in white, anomalies in the profile

were price didn't form a proper high/sellers didn't get a proper
bracketing period to sell. The market later comes to it to fill it
out.
Poor Low (Second Chart Below)

Marked out on the poor low in white same detail as the poor
high above. Buyers didn't get a proper bracket period as we
came back to fill it.
Imbalanced Profiles

This is similar to lesson 5 (Fair value gaps) just using market

profiles instead.

Given that price finds a fair value area per daily profile in which
we trade 69% of the day within there will be times were price
has price gaps in these profiles. Sellers dominated buyers or
buyers dominated sellers.

When price cuts through in an aggressive matter it means one

group dominated the other. Its only logical that when we return
to that area we fill the imbalance of orders so if sellers
dominated the first time on the return buyers will dominate to
fill the imbalance which is why FVG-Price gaps in daily profiles
get filled and at times rather quickly or aggressively.

Accumulation- Manipulation- Expansion
ACCO U N T

My

Power of 3
My Notes
The main purpose for the PO3 is for smart money to build
My Trade
Journals positions and engineer liquidity.

Log out Smart money unlike us needs a more complex method of

entering positions in the market while retail (us) are able to
enter positions as long as the orderbook allows it.

Trading is a 0 sum game, in order to accumulate a long position

there needs to be a seller to provide it and vice versa.

When price chops around during a period of time this is often

traders flipping back and forth/bracketing amongst one
another. This long period of "accumulation" can also be
position building for others. Now; what if I want to acquire a
much larger long position if the ones in the accumulation are
not providing? I need to bring seller interest into the market to
be able to sell me more long positions. What better way to
cause a magnitude of seller interest than breaking price below
certain key lows/structures.

Its common when price trades below a broken low/sweeps you

have breakout traders that rush into the market/panic traders
that short sell/close their positions and or retail looking to start
building a short position. In a way this is all seller interest/.
When price looks bad, it brings seller interest which in hand
allows smart money to take advantage of the added sells into
their build up of longs.

Which is why this is referred to as "manipulation". Its not price

manipulation but rather manipulation in liquidity engineering.

The fun part; " Expansion " and or distribution. Once smart
money has accumulate their positions its not fairly difficult to
move price.
All the seller interest has dispersed into their long build up and
position building has occurred during accumulation. During the
expansion phase you will se a harsh trend to the upside with 0
resistance. Smart money isn't shorting but rather looking to
NOW drive buyer interest to exit their long positions into those
willing to buy it off them.

When looking for a PO3 setup its also good to ensure they give
confluence to other contribution position factors. Don't just
enter something because it reflects a PO3 sentiment; line it up
and see if the PO3 is into demand/supply or if its at a given
range etc.

NOTE

This is why in any given trending market you will always find a
accumulation-re accumulation period simply because you need
time for position building to take place over and over.

PERSONAL RULES FOR A PO3

You'll see a lot of PO3 potential structures but I have a set of

things I need to see:

-Price needs to trade below an old low/sweep an old low or

trade above an old high/sweep an old high. For old low/highs I
like to do old Monday Highs/Lows refer to lesson 9 for details
- There needs to be an old low/high in the expansion phase to
be able to exit the positions that were build up.

Lets recap;
Accumulation:

Positions build up usually around a set open whether it be

multiple daily opens/weekly open or M.O. The reason for this is
key opens are usually a point of control in a way as its a level
marked out intra day-week and the level traders look to reclaim
before getting into longs or shorts.

Manipulation:

Drive seller/buyer interest by breaking below/above key

lows/highs. In order to be able to successfully engineer liquidity
you need traders willing to shift a one sided bias into your
favored direction.

Example: If price breaks a key low/ sellers are now wiling to

look for shorts while you fill your longs. If you sweep a key low
you run their longs stops which open market longs to close out
and are able to use those market exits as your long liquidity.

Expansion:

Position building is no longer present and one sided has been

exhausted so it terms of trending the market the pressure isn't
their against it. The trend is usually strong/harsh. Price will
usually trend into the next pocket of accumulation whether it
be position building for shorts or longs the cycle repeats.

Examples:

Will post some past examples from PO3 setups and just break
them down. This concept isn't all to difficult to conceptualize
but as always feel free to send me a message if you need
further clarification. Using the replay function to break it down
one step at a time.

Chart Diagram for reference:

Example 1: ETH Bullish PO3

Lets take a look at one of our most recent examples; ETH Power
of 3

Price shifts a new high and we now have a 2D Demand

following the shift formed along with a old low/ Mondays Low.

Normally I would set bids and long this 2D Demand regardless

but its good to have multiple confluence leading factors.

-ACCUMULATION - Price accumulates following the break with

failure to shift a new high which can be a case that positions
are building up inside this accumulation period via smart
money.
MANIPULATION

Price breaks below the old low into 2D Demand

There is now seller interest in the market. The fact price broke
an old low means the breakout traders/short sellers are
interested in short positions given the slight structure shift.
Seller interest provides liquidity to enter longs

Confluence factors: Manipulation into 2D Demand

EXPANSION

Following the build of positions and the slight price

manipulation price is now able to trend without the smart
money pressure and exhausted short seller interest in the
market.
Several Noted/Previous Examples

Asset: Bitcoin

Accumulation: Price accumulates below formed supply with

old lows below/Position building occurring
Manipulation: Price trends into an old low to engineer more
seller interest/smart money long position building
Expansion: Price trends into the supply level above following a
relieve of short pressure
Asset: FIL-PERP

Accumulation: Price forms a set range with accumulation done

towards/above the EQ middle of the range.
Manipulation: Price trends into the range low taking out the
low with liquidity being swept/run and a slight pause at the low
to allow shorts to develop into smart money longs.
Expansion: Price trends into the range high and higher above
given the short pressure/interest is gone from the market.
