When markets are decoupled at 9:30 your protocol can be simplified. In most cases this will keep you onside.
1. Wait for the 6:00AM H4 candle to close, it will likely be a PSP
2. NQ/ES will be expanding in the opposite direction of YM.
- One is in foreseen distribution -> the direction the other pair[s] will reverse and expand to; typically YM
- The other[s] are manipulating -> to a key level opposing the draw, opposite the asset in foreseen distribution; typically ES/NQ
3. The market will resynchronize at the key level that the manipulating assets are trading into, while the asset that distributed will enter a new phase of price
- Consolidation or Retracement.
4. This will result in two things
i. A PSP forming at 6:00AM H4 close
ii. A strength switch in the 10:00 H4 candle
- While the manipulating assets reverse, the asset that already distributed will begin to consolidate/retrace.
5. This will give you an SMT fill sequence from a gap on the asset that was in foreseen distribution, and a SS-SMT on the manipulating assets.
6. If 10:00 does not resync price, typically 10:30 will, this will be a new 90 Minute open.
Longing High in Ranges
Shorting Low in Ranges
Generally speaking, Low probability.
The exception to this rule is when we have APD sequences.
if a correlated asset is running an extreme or repricing a P/D gap & reversing the asset that is higher in the range is permissible to trade.
Take a look at my ES long today, it utilizes this logic.
If we don't have this specific logic, often times price will stop you out, as your invalidation prints a HTF gap.
This also blends with the idea of gap selection for continuations and SMT-fill, which I have talked a bit about but will make a future video on.
This concept, simply is...
If your stop loss is an SMT-fill but is the low/high of a HTF gap forming
Then do not take that trade.
I.e. Don't take a M15 SMT-Fill if we are printing a M30 gap.. and so on and so forth.
One way we can trade LTF gaps with HTF gaps printing above/below is utilizing the ideas of Strength switching and 2-stage-CiC.
More to Come... I'll need video format to truly explain this.
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:)
An Introduction to Protraction Profiles
Video topics:
1. Protraction vs Expansion phase of Candles
2. Typical Profiles
3. Key Level Definition & Refinement
4. Using Quarterly Theory to time Delayed Protraction
I will be building on the above logic in far more detail
Let me know what questions you want answered in greater depth for future lectures.
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.

If you're tired of prop firms with endless consistency rules, daily drawdown traps, and payout drama, like me.

I was an unprofitable trader for 4 years
Now I make $15-40k/month consistently from trading
Here are the mistakes that were holding me back from becoming profitable (avoid them):
