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 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.
🧵1/7 I’ve noticed that EUR/JPY often delivers much cleaner and more aggressive moves than EUR/USD.
Most traders focus only on EUR/USD, but cross pairs sometimes provide far better displacement and structure.
The reason comes down to capital flows between EUR, USD, and JPY.
Using the 15 minute requires a certain framework. You usually want this paired with a driver due to volatility lowering the chances of getting a 1hr/30m. And usually a strength switch paired with it if they're decoupled ("Foreseen Distribution").
Never want to use the 15 minute while it's very high in the range, you want to position yourself within a protected level in premium and discount.
This is the exact reason your universal sequences keep failing, you're entering before a higher timeframe gap and higher timeframe opening, which means you're fighting the structure instead of working with it.
Use this as the blueprint, wait for the HTF opening, align with it, and position yourself within the highest timeframe gap. Lock that in and the sequences start working in your favor.
I’ll add one more point!
ES is almost always the middle asset, >90% of the time.
The major divergences/cracks in correlation you will use to filter key levels will be between YM/NQ.
If YM is strong, NQ is weak, ES is middle.
If YM is weak, NQ is strong, ES is middle.
If ES is a leading asset… it’s very likely manipulation.
That’s not to say trading ES isn’t possible.
In fact ES is often better than YM to trade a a middle asset.
Where we will utilize ES/NQ divergences predominately is when NQ/YM are decoupled. In which case these two assets will diverge to manipulate and resync NQ/YM.
