LET’S LEARN HOW TO ENTER

• What are the few important parts of Entries?

• Giving each timeframe a task.
• Without proper top-down analysis, you cannot get to a high-probability entry.
• What are you going to do on each timeframe you are using? What is its aim? What do you draw/measure/look at there?
• Refining your Entry Criteria to the fullest.
• What is the series of events that you need to see, before you engage in a trade?
• What is your required Stop Loss and Take Profit (RR) size?
• A checklist of steps, that you have to tick before every trade.
• Refining your Trade Management to the fullest.
• After you enter the trade – what then? Breakeven? Partials? Stop Loss in profit?
• What are you going to do when your trade is running in profit.
• Learning how to Let Go of Outcome and Think and Probabilities.
• Even if you have the best entry strategy, with flawed mindset – you will fail.
 WHAT DO TIMEFRAMES MEAN?

• Price is always the same. Timeframes are just a different representation of it!
• From the Yearly, to the 1 second, the price is all the same. What is different is the amount of information you see and the depth of detail.
• Many traders fixate their minds on different timeframes, thinking they are all different.
• You can read the 4H from the 15M. And the 15M from the 1M. But it takes experience.
• The Higher Timeframes is where the money is. This is where the BFIs operate and where we follow their footsteps.
• If we can see where the big money is headed, then our task is just to follow it. Simply ‘’follow the trend’’.
• HTF will ALWAYS prevail. Q1 > W1 > D1 > 4H > 15M > 1M.
• There is less noise on the HTF, which makes it easier to identify main direction.
• The Lower Timeframes are only for Entries and Refinements.
• Only once we know what price is doing on the HTF, then we drop to the LTF to search for entry zones and criteria.
• You DO NOT drop to LTF, without having your HTF Zones, Structure and Ranges.

Let’s explore Timeframes!

 WHICH TIMEFRAMES TO USE?

• 1M/1W/1D– Major, HTF, BFI direction.

• Those timeframes are the big guys. They determine the Big trend.
• Always be aware where price is currently trading in terms of those timeframes. Are there any important zones?
• It can take too much time to wait for those trends/zones to develop. So, we trade lower timeframes than that (but always being aware).
• 4H – The Main Timeframe for Direction. Major Structure.
• Identifying the Trend, the Range, PD and Major Structural Levels, Weak/Strong H/Ls.
• Best HTF for Day Traders. Swing Traders can also use the Daily.
• 15M-60M – Refinement and Intraday timeframe. Minor Structure
• Depending on the phase and form of the 4H, the Minor Timeframe will serve as in-between, intraday timeframe, where we can capitalize
on both continuations and pullbacks. This timeframe helps us identify Minor Structure.
• 1-15M – Entry timeframes.
• After determining the 15M positioning, entry zones and price taps into them, then you drop even lower (if you wish) to find an entry.
• On the entry timeframe, you have to be as detailed as possible regarding your rules.
 TOP-DOWN ANALYSIS PROCESS

• W1/D1 – Where are we there?

• Is it Pushing or Pulling back? Is it in Premium or Discount right now? What makes sense to trade?
• Are there some important levels on the left to be aware of?
• 4H – What is the trend and structure? What makes sense to be traded?
• Identify the Trend. Is currently in a Push towards Weak Low/High or in Pullback towards P or D?
• Define your range with the Fib. Are we in P or D?
• Mark with Highlighter the Major HHs/HLs, etc. Mark the SBs as well.
• 15M – Intraday Price and Zones.
• Depending on the 4H, wait for the trend there to align with the 4H for continuations.
• For retracements, wait for the trend to change (TC) after a creation of a HH/LL. Trade this until 50% of 4H or until structure aligns.
• Draw your Zones and SBs on 15M.
• 1-5M – Entry Timeframe
• Drop here when 15M Zone is tapped.
• Start looking for your entry rules.
 HOW TO TRADE FROM
S&D ZONES

• The market has a fractal nature. The setups you see on the Monthly, will repeat on the 1 Minute timeframe. It’s all the
matter of preference.
• 2 types of (simple) entries:
1. Aggressive entry from the zone. Usually, a bigger SL is needed. (there are ways to get it tighter)
2. Conservative entry after a market structure shift inside the S&D zone. This utilizes the LTFs.
 THE “SET AND FORGET” ENTRY

• Two Things to consider:

• What is your Higher Timeframe, that dictates the Major Market Direction?
• What is your Middle Timeframe, that illustrates your Minor Structure and Ranges within the Major Structure?
• For SAF entries, it is always preferred to:
• Stick to the HTF Trend (pro-trend) and not go against it (counter-trend).
• Take those entries at Extreme Points on the HTF – HH/LL and HL/LHs.
• Keep a Safe SL and do not micromanage.
• Always draw Bigger Zones. DO NOT Overrefine.
• For me – 4H HTF; 15M Middle TF.

 THE PRECISION ENTRY

• Three Things to consider:

• What is your Higher Timeframe, that dictates the Major Market Direction?
• What is your Middle Timeframe, that illustrates your Minor Structure and Ranges within the Major Structure?
• What is your Lower (Entry) Timeframe, that gives you the entry criteria and signals?
• For Precision Entries, it is essential to:
• Have mastery over your Higher and Middle Timeframes. You ONLY go to the Lower timeframe after those two are ready.
• Have precise and strict rules so that you know EXACTLY what you are looking for on the LTF.
• Have patience to wait for the strict rules to play out.
• Have guts to take 1-2 losses before you hit the big winner.
• Have time to stay on the charts and monitor it on a lower timeframe.
• For Precision Entries, you follow the same steps as the SAF entry, but once the S&D zone is tapped, you drop to a
LTF.
• There, you wait for a series of events to occur.
 THE PRECISION ENTRY - RULES
• Rules:
1. SAF entry criteria fulfilled first (4H Trend, 15M Zone and Range)
2. Drop to LTF (for me it’s the 1M)
3. Wait for a Liquidity Point to be taken = Liquidation of early buyers/sellers.
4. Wait for a Trend Change = 1M aligns with 15M.
5. Enter from the S&D zone that caused the 1M TC.

 WRAPPING IT UP

• So, at the end of this Four Video Series, do you feel a Better Trader?

 Built your Risk Management plan and Planned your Monetary and Trading Goals.
 Understood Basic and Advanced Market Structure concepts.
 Understood Supply & Demand concepts and how to use them correctly.
 Learned about the different Types of Liquidity.
 Mastered two very simple Entry Systems.

• That is a great foundation, from which you can start building your own system.
• My suggestion:
• Go back to Video 1 and cover them all again!
• Focus on the Technical Videos especially (2,3 and 4). Watch them at least 3 times. Take notes, study, find examples, backtest!
• Try to build the Strategy Section of your Trading Plan.
