Continuation Sequences | Model within a Model
Once a true reversal is established continuation is only one of two models:
1.) IRL > ERL (Reversal > Retracement > Expansion)
2.) ERL > ERL (Reversal > Consolidation > Expansion)
These are the only two phases of price you will see form continuation towards an in tact, HTF draw.
@TritonTrades Protraction profiles are the single most effective way to position yourself onside intraday.
Real respect real, you are pointing people in the right direction.
Hopefully this visual also helps!
If Asia consolidates, London manipulates, NY expansion
If Asia expands, London consolidates, NY reversal/expansion
If Asia & London expand, NY AM will consolidate, and NY PM will expand/reverse

I've been trading for 5 years and lost over $25k before becoming profitable.
I've watched thousands of traders blow their accounts in that time.
They all fail for the same 3 reasons....
Here's what nobody tells you about why traders actually fail:
1. They mistake activity for analysis
I see it every single day.
Traders with 76 lines on their charts. Using Reaper FVGs, Enigma, Quarterly Theory, 369 levels, 5-second charts.
But the more lines on your chart, the fewer trades you actually take.
Not because you're being selective. But you've created an environment where execution becomes impossible.
It's not that you don't know what to do.
It's that you've given yourself too many things to consider.
Complexity isn't preparation. It's procrastination with a professional appearance.
I trade my CISD Model for 1 hour/day during NY AM Session.
Same 4 concepts. Same logic. Every single day for the last 2 years.
When I had 10 indicators, I was always "analyzing."
When I had 1 model, I started executing.
The difference wasn't knowledge. It was clarity.
2. They're trading to feel productive, not to be profitable
Most traders don't blow their accounts on bad trades.
They blow them trying to feel like "real traders."
I used to think I needed to trade every day to be professional.
Then I noticed something - my best months had fewer trades than my worst months.
Not because I got lucky. But because I stopped confusing quantity with performance.
Here's what changed:
First, I started avoiding Mondays.
It's the first trading day. Let the candle form.
Use the daily range to determine bias for Tuesday/Wednesday.
Most Mondays? No news. No news = no volatility = less opportunity.
Other low-probability conditions I usually avoid:
• Day after a large range day
• Large expansion during overnight/London
• Before high-impact news (NFP/FOMC/CPI)
• Correlated assets not in sync
You don't need to trade everyday. Some days, your A+ setup just isn't there.
Recognize when the market is offering you an opportunity vs. when you're trading out of boredom.
3. They've never defined what "their trade" actually looks like
Before I take a trade, I ask myself one question:
"Am I taking this because it's in my strategy, or because I'm bored?"
Most traders can't answer this.
Not because they lack discipline. But because they've never clearly defined what their A+ setup actually looks like.
Here's what I noticed about my losing streaks:
I wasn't taking bad trades. I was taking random trades.
There's a difference.
When I took 10 random trades:
- 7 losses, 1 breakeven, 2 small wins
- Mentally exhausted
- Lost money
When I took 10 A+ trades:
- 5 wins, 3 losses, 2 breakevens
- Clear mental state
- Made money
The trades looked similar on the chart.
But one fit my model. The other just... appeared.
Now I have a rule: 2 losses per day maximum.
Not only for risk management.
But when I can only take 2 trades, I suddenly become extremely selective about the trades I take.
It forces me to ask: "Is this THE setup, or just an okay setup?"
My observation: You don't have a strategy problem. You have a clarity problem.
You've never clearly defined what separates your A+ trade from every other candle pattern on the chart.
My approach now:
- 1 pair
- 1 model
- 1 time window (9:30-11:00)
- 2-3 trades per week
Profitable trading is very boring.
Open the charts. Wait for setup. Close the charts. Execute like a robot.
You're not excited when you win. You're not worried when you lose. You're numb to it.
Once you get to this point, you're close to being profitable.
But most traders never get here.
Not because they can't. But boring doesn't feel like progress.
If you've been trading for months (or years) and still aren't consistent...
It's not your psychology. It's not your discipline. It's not your emotional control.
It's that you're operating in an environment designed to prevent execution.
I'm launching my A-Z mentorship next week.
This is for traders who are tired of operating in decision paralysis.

You only need one 90 min window to trade within:
AM Session
• 8:30 to 10:00
• 9:30 to 11:00
PM Session
• 2:30 to 4:00
Choose one, and focus during that time only.
You'll always get a setup during that time.
inside my discord im doing a challenge this year to see how long it takes me to make 50k & 100k from trading.
every trade i will share live on stream
& this was the 1st trade +3000$:)
