The most ideal scenario to form the HOD / LOD or any protected swing, especially in C3 :
price has a short term swing right before a fair value gap (consolidation), then price opens the new HTF candle, sweeps the swings into the gap, then has an IC CISD.
Here is an example to pay attention to next week.
Gold once again at a POI where it could form a higher low, a new swing higher.
This means depending on todays closure, there is a possibility of c3 on monday (yes you can trade monday).
two scenarios:
- price respects on monday, intraday profile is bullish, upside move
- price doesnt respect on monday, intraday profile isnt bullish, invalidation of daily profiles into todays low / lower.
can revisit this on monday and explain what i mean.
always the same steps
reaction at relevant swing
align the daily profile
enter in continuation
each part pairs together to create an entire framework
bias, confirmation, entry
Teaching my friend with NO experience what liquidity means and why the market moves the way it does
This is the most dumbed down version I could think of
No matter who you are in the world you should be able to understand this
as a trader, you need to become more comfortable saying 'I don't know'
not only is that normal,
but it shows you have a defined system
one that you follow and ignore everything else
because most of trading is waiting for that moment where clarity is offered
the only problem comes when you don't know,
but proceed to act as if you do
that is where you force trades
that is where you make mistakes
that is where you take unnecessary losses
the solution is simple
be able to admit when you don't know,
and wait solely for the moment you do
that is what alignment of your system looks like
