  • An explanation follows regarding market maker models that dictate price movements after reaching critical levels.

Market Dynamics and Time-Based Trading Strategies

Understanding Market Maker Sell Models

  • The concept of a lower time frame market maker sell model is introduced, emphasizing that the initial assumption of forming a longer-term high was incorrect as the market moved higher after taking out the previous daily low.
  • A specific down candle is identified as a crucial reference point for trading on Wednesday, highlighting its significance in understanding price action during that period.
  • The speaker discusses aligning time and price, referencing a method introduced to the public late last year through social media platforms, particularly X.

Time-Based Price Ranges

  • Attention is drawn to specific time-based ranges that traders should investigate, suggesting these can reveal hidden patterns in price movements.
  • The importance of 9:00 AM is highlighted; it served as a critical moment when the market rejected prices after CPI data was released.

Analyzing Market Reactions Post-CPI Release

  • At 8:30 AM, following the CPI release, there was an aggressive repricing towards the downside which led to significant market movement.
  • The run-up into an M15 control block (CB) post-CPI release indicates where traders should look for bearish signals; this area becomes pivotal for shorting opportunities.

Anticipating Distribution Cycles

  • The discussion emphasizes anticipating distribution at 9:30 AM based on prior manipulation cycles starting at 8:30 AM.
  • A high probability trade setup is outlined from higher time frames down to five-minute intervals focusing on NASDAQ's potential downward movement.

Detailed Analysis of One-Minute Time Frame Movements

  • A thorough examination of one-minute movements post-CPI delivery shows how aggressive repricing occurred after forming lows and highs around key levels.
  • The significance of reaching M15 CB levels is reiterated; this area serves as both resistance and potential entry points for short trades based on observed market behavior.

Understanding Market Dynamics and Price Action

Irrelevant Price Action and Key Focus Areas

  • The speaker emphasizes that the current price action is irrelevant, characterized by a narrow range of movement. Attention should be directed towards the down close scandal as it indicates significant market behavior.
  • The down close scandal serves as a potential resistance level; when the market displaces through it at 9:30 AM, it forms a low before retracing into the M1 CB (Market Structure Break).

Trading Decisions Based on Market Behavior

  • After observing rejection from the M1 CB, the speaker decides to go short, anticipating that prices will not trade above the 9:30 open due to bearish sentiment.
  • A new M1 CB is created, providing another entry opportunity for traders who missed earlier chances. The market exhibits back-and-forth movement before creating a false break.

Importance of Narrative in Trading

  • Traders are advised not to rely solely on patterns or imbalances but to first establish a narrative regarding market direction—whether bullish or bearish.
  • The speaker frames their trading strategy based on higher time frames, indicating an expectation for downward movement toward sales equity objectives.

Analyzing Market Movements and Imbalances

  • A visible volume candle (VC) is created; when the market breaks through this BC (Break Candle), it acts as an inversion for value gaps in price.
  • Observing correlations between different indices (ES and NQ), where ES has already reached key levels while NQ has not, informs trading decisions about potential future movements.

Execution and Precision in Trading Strategy

  • As the market retraces into sequences of imbalances, partial profits are taken due to anticipated upward movement after forming lows.
  • The market struggles with displacing through specific ranges but eventually closes below them, leading to further downward movement toward key sales equity objectives.

Advanced Insights into Algorithmic Price Delivery

  • The speaker describes precise algorithmic price delivery during trading sessions, highlighting opportunities for traders based on smart money principles.
  • Newcomers may find these concepts complex; however, reviewing previous educational content can enhance understanding of advanced trading strategies discussed here.

Understanding Market Pressure Dynamics

  • The speaker argues against simplistic interpretations of buying or selling pressure driving markets. Instead, they advocate for recognizing algorithmic signatures during critical time windows at key price levels.

UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING.

SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN Trading performance displayed herein is hypothetical.

No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance trading results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
