Trade in the direction of Order Flow UNTIL:
- A significant key level is reached
- Weekly profiles or OHLC indicate a shift towards the formation of opposite end of the range.
Trade the purge of the previous session or the 4-hour candle low, into a key level, till PDH and potentially higher — Continuation Purge.

@TritonTrades The level of exaggeration here is baffling.
CISD is merely a confirmation pattern and its effectiveness relies entirely on the broader context of your analysis.
If you’re using it to establish bias, you’re pattern trading.
Don’t just select every PD Array within a price leg and label it precision when price reacts from one of it. That doesn't mean shit and won't help you in any way.
Instead, use this framework:
• Order Flow: To determine the direction in which price is likely to expand.
• Dealing Ranges with specific Key Levels: To identify where price might expand to, and potentially reverse.
The easiest way to find DOL:
• Probe Order Flow.
• Select the Correct Dealing range.
- If bullish, target the first PD Array above the Equilibrium of the dealing range.
- If this level fails, expect either a significant retracement OR a potential push to test the highs.

@dias21306 Profiling is the first step across all timeframes.
Using the previous session's or the previous 4H candle's H/L is optimal for entries. This helps eliminate the subjectivity of deciding which H/L to use on LTF.

One of the only ways to trade Market Maker Models, logically.
This framework not only gives you DOL but also provides you with a narrative.
Pro Tip: SMR & areas of Accumulation/Distribution are good levels to look for double purge.

More on filtering subjectivity later, since it cannot be covered in a single post.
However psychology boils down to experience and following good trading practices.
• Discipline
• Patience
• Realistic expectations (losses & long term thinking)
• Controlled risk
What makes Trading so hard?
1. Variables/Subjectivity
– This is especially the case with ICT traders, where every price leg is a model and every candle is another PD Array.
2.Psychology
– These markets are designed to mess with your emotions, like a toxic ex.

"SMT" is the market makers tipping its hands to you.
Use SMT to navigate between different market profiles.
Use it to select the stronger/weaker pair & as a confluence for entries.
DON'T use it to determine Bias. It Must be the last tool to consider while entering the market.

Double purge is the most efficient way for the market makers to move price from one key level to another.
Markets doesn't give a fuck about your useless candlestick pattern.
Be smart & chase the logic not patterns.
DPT is the logic.
