🧪Weekly Review ~ PM Micro Cycles ♻️
📒
↳The Highest Probability Setups form as a consequence of a HTF IRL <-> ERL move and also descripe a MMXM.
✍️ -> For Micro Cycles i use 1min for identification and 15min ERL <-> IRL
Narrative: Weekly chart, we see that price tapped into the Weekly SIBI (IRL) and so now anticipating this week’s candle to be bearish (OHLC) seeking Weekly ERL. Coming into todays session (April 10th, 2024) we see that Tuesday’s price action took the Daily ERL + had a big move down. Strengthening the idea of a Tuesday High of the week in a Classic expansion weekly profile.
Wednesday: April 10th, 2024 (NY AM Session Review)
Looking at Euro futures, aka 6E, aka EUR/USD on forex side.
🇪🇺/🇺🇸
Bias: Bearish, coming into the session looking for confluences for lower prices today
Daily: ERL ---> IRL
H1: MSS + displacement creating a SIBI (FVG)
M5: Price return the H1 FVG and then shift down. SMT with 6B (GBP/USD)

You knew it wasn’t easy, but thought maybe you could do it.
Now you can’t imagine doing anything else with your life.
You’re almost there…. Keep working.
MMXM or Everything Else? ⬇️
At the end of the day everything is MMXM; there is a reason ICT taught it last and said you need to understand all of his other concepts to gain an appreciation for them.
Additional confluence can be gained from decoration of MMXM additional time and price theory.
What Theories?
1. Weekly profiling (@_amtrades)
2. Protraction Profiles (I have a PDF)
3. Po3 (Check out @MonsterLab3)
4. Quarterly theory (@traderdaye)
5. Advanced Market Structure (@TTrades_edu YT video)
These Techincal analysis tools add a complementary layer of confluence, but the fundamentals remain the same; each of the things above offers insight into the various phases of a MMXM.
Time based theory (Protraction and Weekly Profiling) gives insight into factors such as the likely day of week, hour of day (london vs NY) etc for high probable expansion;
⇢ if that then this time based logic....
Po3 allows your to frame areas of manipulation and reaccumulation into distribution (SD 1-1.5 ~ SBZ reaccumulation) (Retracement reversal SD 2-2.5) (Terminus SD 4).
⇢ Remember price does not just go directly up or down, it accumulates, induces liquidity, retraces, or even reverses before completion of a MMXM.
QT adds session opens, daily/weekly/monthly opens as areas of high confluence for AMD (people also use ICT macros last 10 and first 10 of every hour with QT)
⇢ Time > Price
How MMXM Simplifies this Analysis (@theMMXMtrader teaches it best)
If your focus remains on three questions
1. The Why (HTF narrative) = PDA; ERL or IRL
2. The How (ITM MMXM & Structure)
3. The entry (LTF pattern, and LTF low hanging fruit)
You have the makings of profitability using just a single concept
ERL♻️ IRL + timeframe alignment
Once you undestand this you can build on the fundamentals using the concepts above, adding nuance to your edge.
Cheers,
🥂
Friday: March 15th, 2024 (NY AM session Hindsight Review)
Bias: Bearish
H4: IRL --> ERL using SMT with ES, (ES tapped the IRL NQ did not)
M15: MSS to align with bearish bias +HTF orderflow, leaving a FVG.
M1: Return to M15 FVG and then Shift down leaving FVGs for entry.
Entry: Risk 20 points for 40, sellside targets low hanging fruit London lows. price ultimately ran to ERL (yesterdays lows) as well as the other sellside LRLR.
