Premium & Discount SMT adds a layer of validation to SMT.
A divergence may appear valid on the surface, but if the asset creating the failure swing fails to reach the appropriate side of the dealing range, the SMT may simply be a temporary decoupling rather than a meaningful shift in correlation.
For a Bullish SMT, the failure swing should retrace at least 50% into Discount.
For a Bearish SMT, the failure swing should retrace at least 50% into Premium.
By combining SMT with Premium & Discount, traders can determine whether the divergence is aligned with the broader market structure and whether the correlated assets remain in sync within the larger range.
Strength switching is the strongest concept in trading.
It confirms reversals. It catches trades you'd otherwise miss. It lets you trade the lagging asset to break an SMT that won't hold.
Multiple types. Here's all of them.
Most traders react to highs and lows that don't matter.
A relevant swing stands alone:
Nothing in close proximity beyond it
Not inside the OTE of the range below
The only level price has reason to reach
If it clusters with nearby swings ... noise. If price already pulled into it , used.
Map the relevant ones. Ignore the rest.
If I were a struggling GxT trader, I would demand these 2 things…
Reversal Trades = SS PSP
Continuation Trades = 2 stage SMT Fill
(Continuation PSP)
Must have clean profile and draw.
Demand this, no fomo.
Thank me later:)
Most traders use P/D wrong.
They apply it in the wrong phase of price — and the read collapses.
P/D is a retracement tool. In expansion it becomes an invalidation tool. Get the phase wrong, the whole read is noise.

At Lathyrus, we believe in creating clarity and independence for our students.
We put together a flow chart for the community so each and every person has a clear roadmap for what to look for, remove any guessing games and make trading easier.
But instead of keeping this exclusive to Lathyrus, we decided to post it to the public. We hope this helps those that are struggling.

It is always these 5 components.
It is always in this order.
Don't change the order, that's what protects you.
1. Draw on Liquidity
2. Daily / Protraction Profile
3. Key Level
4. CiC
5. LTF Reversal Signature
Understand this better than anyone else... then add more filters....
I told myself I’d never do this. Ever.
When I started learning Quarterly Theory inside Dayes’ 2024 Mentorship, I became obsessed.
Not interested. Obsessed.
I’d sit there for hours replaying the same clips over and over. Pause. Rewind. Watch again. Trying to actually understand what was being taught instead of just pretending it made sense and moving on.
And every single thing I learned went into one Notion page.
Then that page became something else.
It grew.
And grew.
And grew.
40,000+ words.
Hundreds of hours.
Every concept rewritten in my own words until it genuinely clicked. Not copied. Not surface-level notes. Not recycled explanations.
Mine.
I’ve never shown this Notion to anyone.
This was the thing I opened before every session. The thing I added to every time another piece of the puzzle finally connected.
But I made a decision.
I’m turning the entire thing into one complete, all-in-one Quarterly Theory guide.
Everything.
Sequential SMT.
Intermarket Sequential SMT.
Precision Swing Points.
Precision Candles.
True Opens.
Stacked True Opens.
Precision Levels.
And a ridiculous amount of gems I’m almost certain most of you have never seen or heard before.
I thought about this for a while.
Realistically, I could’ve put a $299 price tag on this and nobody would’ve questioned it.
But I owe too much to this community.
So I’m giving it to the Quarterly Theory community completely free.
Only thing I ask:
250 retweets.
500 likes.
Hit that…
And it’s all yours.
The Quarter Sequence chain never breaks, and remember… HTF quarters are the ones controlling time in the lower quarters, so always try to align the HTF quarters with the lower ones, at least so you can have the highest probability setups.
For example:
Let’s say the Quadrennial Cycle is currently in Q1.
If the cycles below it are not in Q1, that’s completely fine. It does not mean you shouldn’t participate. You can identify a smaller chain or focus on smaller chains that align with a higher quarter.
For example:
Quadrennial > Q1
Monthly > Q2
Weekly > Q2
Daily > Q1
90m > Q1
Micro > Q1
This is just an example so you understand that you can look for smaller chains. What matters is that the chain exists, that the sequence exists, and that it is guided by a higher one… not just matching chains randomly, because it is never random.
I’m going to give you a task so you can try to disprove everything I’m writing here.
Go to @traderdaye Twitter (X) and study every chart he has shared. Look at the dates, then go back to your own charts and analyze what sequence existed in every setup or analysis he shared… and prove me wrong.

Whenever you take shorts above all time highs.
Do not be so foolish to think that the market is terrible, or PA is unfavorable, or the market makers are out to get you when your position doesn’t go in your favor.
It’s fundamental knowledge to know that aligning yourself with structure is infinitely higher probability.
Today for reference, when I got BE’d on shorts… I didn’t immediately complain about price action, I went into that trade knowing the low probability nature of fading structure.
Accept that, and you’re one step closer to success.
