Hi! Thanks for sharing this model — keeping it simple with just one setup really makes sense.

To understand how traders actually benefit from it, could you please explain how we trade the 5 PM or 9 AM model in practice? What are the key rules for entries, stop placement, and targets?

I’ve attached a BTCUSD chart where I’ve marked the 5 PM and 9 AM times based on the 4-hour blocks. Would love to know if I’m interpreting the model correctly or if there’s anything I should adjust.

Appreciate your time and insights!

Agree! 👍
But my view for $XAUUSD, #Gold;
I’m only looking to react under these two specific scenarios:

1. Price breaks and sweeps above 4215, then rejects and closes back below it — confirmed by a clear structural shift.

2. A retest of the 4253–4290 zone, followed by strong rejection and structural shift confirmation.

I’ve attached my H4 chart highlighting these exact Fib levels and zones for easy visual reference.

What do you think? Do you see any other confluences at these levels?

[Ravi | Market Structure & Algo Systems @talking_markets]

@Habbyforex_ Yup!👍
Forex is real. A lot of the brokers though? Not so much😅

[Ravi | Market Structure & Algo Systems @talking_markets]

Will $XAUUSD take out the Previous Week High (PWH)?

Daily Bias: Bullish
Weekly Bias: Bullish

Price has already swept the Previous Week Low (PWL) and recovered almost 90% from the low.

The market structure looks strong on higher timeframes.

Will Gold push higher and clear the PWH?

Not entering any sells on $XAUUSD yet.

Here’s exactly when I will:

1. Price sweeps above 4215 → strong rejection + close back below it + clear structural shift

2. Retest of the 4253–4290 zone → rejection + structural shift confirmation

Only taking high-probability setups with proper structure.

We are all human beings.

Fear and greed don't disappear because we learn market structure or liquidity.

The goal isn't to remove emotions.

The goal is to stop emotions from making trading decisions for us.

Trading is one of the few businesses where you can be wrong half of the time and still make money.

50% winners averaging +50 pips.
50% losers averaging -20 pips.

The edge is not in being right.

The edge is in managing risk and letting winners outperform losers.

[Ravi | Market Structure & Algo Systems @talking_markets]

@rahmath369 Yes, Breaker Blocks are one of my favorite setups. I especially like them when they align with a higher timeframe displacement — they tend to give very clean reactions.
Do you trade them on lower timeframes as well?

You know what a good setup looks like.

You know market structure.
You know liquidity.
You know confluence.
Yet your results still don't match the effort you've invested.

Why?

Because trading doesn't reward knowledge alone.

Execution matters.
Risk management matters.
Discipline matters.
Consistency matters.

Most traders don't lose because they lack information.

They lose because they ignore the process.
A bad setup with proper risk management can survive.
A great setup without risk management eventually dies.
The edge is rarely more information.

The edge is understanding what is helping you and what is holding you back.

@Crtquinn Yes, buy👇

Stopped trying to predict price.

Start reading the tape, liquidity, and confluence zones.

Wait for the trap.
Wait for the hunt.
Wait for the shift.

✅Then react.

The edge is not prediction.

The edge is reading the sequence, flow, and structure behind the move.
