AI Summary

This video provides a comprehensive introduction to Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and price action trading. The instructor covers the philosophy of trading, market participants, types of trading, and key concepts like structure, liquidity, order blocks, and Fibonacci. The course is designed for beginners and intermediate traders looking to understand how institutional money moves markets.

[00:02]
Course Introduction

The instructor introduces a complete, structured course on Smart Money and Pre-Security, built from personal trading experience.

[00:34]
Trading Philosophy vs Other Professions

Trading involves risk management, probabilistic outcomes, unlimited income potential, and personal responsibility for mistakes, unlike linear income in regular jobs.

[03:31]
Market Participants

Only two participants: buyers and sellers. They control price through demand and supply.

[04:02]
Smart Money Concept

Smart Money refers to big institutions (banks, funds) that manipulate the market. The goal is to identify their manipulation and trade alongside them.

[04:46]
Types of Trading

Scalping (minute charts, high frequency), Intraday (same day, 1-2 hour holds), Intraweek (multi-day holds), Swing (days to weeks), Positional (months).

[09:05]
Market Structure

Ascending structure: higher highs and higher lows. Descending structure: lower highs and lower lows. Break of structure (BOS) occurs when the pattern reverses.

[13:17]
Range Structure

Sideways movement (consolidation/accumulation). No trading decisions made in range; wait for expansion.

[13:58]
Liquidity

Liquidity is a zone of deferred money, often in stop-losses of other traders. Big players manipulate price to collect liquidity before moving in their direction.

[17:06]
Types of Liquidity

BSL (Buy Side Liquidity) and SSL (Sell Side Liquidity) are common pools. Equals (equal highs/lows) act as magnets for price.

[19:05]
SMT Divergence

SMT (Smart Money Technique) uses correlation between assets (e.g., EUR/USD and GBP/USD) to confirm manipulation. If one asset shows a liquidity grab, the other may follow.

[20:37]
Local vs Global Liquidity

Local liquidity serves to continue the trend; global liquidity can reverse the trend. Price moves from local to global liquidity pools.

[22:53]
POI (Point of Interest)

A zone where a reaction is expected. Price may show entry models, aggressive rejection, or disrespect of the zone.

[24:07]
FVG (Fair Value Gap)

An imbalance or price gap that acts as a magnet. Price tends to return to fill the gap. Higher timeframe FVGs are more significant.

[26:20]
Inversion FVG (IFVG)

When one imbalance is broken by an opposite imbalance, creating an inversion. Also called BPR (Balanced Price Range). Used as a signal.

[27:42]
Gaps

Price gaps formed when the market opens after a weekend. Price usually returns to fill the gap.

[28:51]
Order Blocks

Areas where large orders were placed. Typically the last candle before a strong move. The instructor advises beginners to use simpler tools first.

[31:15]
STB and BTS Models

Sell to Buy (STB): manipulation to the sell side then confirmation to go long. Buy to Sell (BTS): manipulation to the buy side then confirmation to go short.

[32:57]
Fibonacci

Premium zone (0.5-1) for shorts, discount zone (0-0.5) for longs. Deep corrections (61-78%) are key for entries.

[35:41]
Trading Sessions

Asian, Frankfurt, London, New York sessions. Session highs and lows are targets for the next session.

[37:42]
AMD Pattern

Accumulation (range), Manipulation (false breakout), Distribution (true move). Common in Forex.

[38:55]
Top-Down Analysis

Start with higher timeframe (daily) to determine structure, POIs, targets, and problem areas (FTA). Then move to 4H, 1H, and finally 15M/5M for entry.

[40:41]
Order Flow

A flow of orders that moves price from point A (liquidity grab) to point B (target). Consists of constant STB/BTS models.

[44:07]
Context

Combination of all factors: structure, POIs, FTAs, order flow, fundamentals, and session narratives. Determines the overall bias.

[46:08]
Roadmap

Backtest for a year, buy a funded account ($30 for $5k), keep a trading journal, develop a strategy, and join the Telegram channel for advanced content.

The course provides a solid foundation in Smart Money Concepts, emphasizing the importance of understanding market structure, liquidity, and manipulation by institutional players. The instructor encourages consistent backtesting and journaling to develop a profitable trading system.

[00:02] you my extensive course on SmartMoney and Pre-Security. This is a complete, structured base that I built based on my trading experience and packed with the tools I use myself, without unnecessary fluff and

[00:18] complex terms. If you've been looking for a high-quality knowledge base and a systematic approach to the market, you've come to the right place. Before we begin, let's do a little philosophy and analyze trading itself and compare it with

[00:34] other professions to understand what advantages we have. So, the philosophy of trading, trading versus other professions. If we look at ordinary professions, what do we do? We sell our time, our results are

[00:49] sell our time, our results are linear, mistakes can be worked out, and our income is always limited by the flow. In trading, we manage risk. Our results are probabilistic, our income has no ceiling, and our own

[01:05] has no ceiling, and our own mistakes cost us money. I want to say right away that a profession like trading may not be suitable for everyone. If you are unable to learn from your mistakes and manage your emotions,

[01:20] you most likely need to turn to some regular profession and develop there, striving for career growth. If you are generally able to control yourself you are generally able to control yourself , can learn, and can

[01:34] analyze your own mistakes, then welcome to trading. Trading is a business where losses are built into the model and all responsibility lies solely with you. In fact, trading is really like a business.

[01:48] In both business and trading, the survival rate is not the highest, since in business people are not always able to build their own model, are not able to calculate debits and credits, and calculate risks. Likewise, in trading, people are not

[02:05] always able to control themselves, manage risks, and create their own trading system, so to speak, a business model business model that will lead them to some kind of success.

[02:19] Ultimately, the winner in trading will be the most determined and stubborn person who has overcome himself and gone from losses to profit. It always sounds easy, but in reality, many people can't afford to lose every day and quit the game. That

[02:34] is, trading is about learning from your mistakes. As we know, we can open a book to learn a craft. You read a book, you learn, and in this way your development is shaped. In trading, this

[02:50] theory takes up a very small part. After you watch the course, you will already be familiar with the theory you need to make money. And after that, every mistake you make will cost you

[03:04] a certain amount of money. Not everyone can handle this format of learning. And, accordingly, because of this, they turn around and leave the game. The one who reaches the end gets his reward, gets his game,

[03:18] gets the lifestyle he was striving for. But for this, as I already striving for. But for this, as I already said, there is a price. Now let's move little by little towards the mechanics of the market and understand who the

[03:31] market participants are. There are only two participants in the market: the buyer and the seller. If there are buyers in the market , the price will rise accordingly. If, on the contrary, the price falls. It is the market participants, that is, buyers and sellers, who

[03:46] control the price of an asset. They create demand and create supply, which directly affects the price. Now let's talk a little about the logic of srtmani. So, the smartmoney concept invites us to try to

[04:02] see the footprint of a major player in the market and directly interact with it. The whole concept of smartmoney is based on big money, that is, smart money. These are institutions that trade, banks, funds, uh, pension funds and so

[04:19] on. It is big money that controls the market, manipulates it, and pushes it in the the market, manipulates it, and pushes it in the direction it wants. And our goal, as people who trade on smartphones, is to identify manipulation, learn

[04:32] what kind of manipulation there is, and then implement our positions, as if implement our positions, as if advancing behind the big player. Let's look at the types of trading. There are several types of trading and

[04:46] traders. Let's take them one by one and discuss each of them. So, the first type is scalping. As we can see, scalpers trade on a rule, they open positions on minute charts.

[05:04] Their positions do not hold for more than an hour. As a rule, this can be an opening and a position closing in a couple of minutes. The frequency of transactions is very high, The frequency of transactions is very high, these guys are very nervous. And if you don't

[05:18] like trading very quickly, opening and closing positions, and constantly being nervous, then scalping is probably not for you. Intraday. Intraday what the guys who trade with me do . This is intraday trading, where

[05:34] positions are opened and closed on the same day. Chart analysis is performed on daily 4-hour and hourly timeframes. And

[05:46] directly opening positions on 15- minute and five-minute charts. Typically, a position can last from an hour to 2 hours. And if the position is not closed, then

[06:00] it must be closed at the end of the working session. Introvic. Introspection is also a very interesting type of trading. This is directly intra- week trading, where the position can be carried over

[06:14] from day to day, right? This means we can open a position on Monday and close it on Wednesday or Thursday. For me, this is a very calm type of trading. There is very little noise here, very many clear positions. And, ah,

[06:30] chart analysis is already carried out on a weekly timeframe, then on a daily timeframe and on a 4-hour timeframe. And positions are opened either on the hourly chart, or a little less frequently on M15 in order to achieve the best entry point.

[06:46] Swinkt trading. Swing trading is a trade that can last anywhere from a few days to a month. Swing traders open a maximum of 2, 3, or 4 positions per month and

[07:03] typically manage a large amount of capital, which allows them to open just that many positions. Chart analysis is also carried out on a weekly and daily time frame, and positions are usually opened

[07:19] either on a 4-hour or hourly time frame. Often people from the Internet After that, they can move on to swings from Interovik once they've built up their

[07:32] capital and take only swing positions directly, allowing them to do what they want, spend, and spend little time on analysis, since, as you

[07:44] understand, the higher the trading frequency, the more effort and time they need to invest. I won’t say anything about scalping, since I’ve never done scalping

[07:57] . I'm talking about interady now, right? That is, to trade on the Internet, you need a certain amount of time. You need to invest a little less time in interweek. And the swings themselves are perhaps the

[08:11] final point that traders reach. Next comes positional trading. This is trading where positions are carried over for months. As a rule, such

[08:23] are carried over for months. As a rule, such positions are held by institutions such as banks, some commercial, non-commercial, foundations, and so on, right? That is, this position is opened on a daily chart, analyzed on a monthly chart, and

[08:38] October, you can close in December at the end of the year. This is positional trading. As a rule, people who come into trading start either

[08:51] with scalping or intraday trading. I advise you to pay attention to the Inter, because scalping is a very unique type of trading that, uh, requires an approach. Now let's take a look at

[09:05] the tools that the Smartmania and Price Action concepts provide us with. Let's figure out what structure is. The structure has two types: ascending and descending.

[09:17] Let's look at how the bottom-up structure is formed. She is on our left bottom-up structure is formed. She is on our left side. We see barks and we see hays. Barks are marked in red, highs are marked in green . And the ascending structure is the

[09:30] structure where highs and lows are constantly updated and growing. That is, we see the formation of a low, which is given to us by the formation of a high. After this, we see a correction that formed a higher low, that is, a higher low than the

[09:47] previous one. This loy directly gives us higher. After which again higher low, update high. High low update and high update. With a top-down structure, it's the same thing,

[10:01] only in reverse. We see a decrease in lows and a decrease in highs. We have high, we have low. After which we have lower high, lower lowy, lower high, lower ly, lower high, lower low. That is, it is an ascending and descending structure.

[10:20] This needs to be remembered. This is a very important part of our training. Now let's see at what point this structure begins to break down. What does it mean to break a structure? Break of

[10:35] structure? What does boss mean? A breakdown of structure is when our breakdown of structure is when our ascending part, the ascending structure, changes to a descending structure. This is called a boss break structure. Let's

[10:51] turn our attention to the formation of our structure. We have loy high low high low high low structure. We have loy high low high low high low higher high. Now we see that the next loy is not updated. The next loy is not

[11:06] updated. The next loy is not higher than the previous one. He is becoming inferior to us. If we go back , we see that this is a symbol of a descending structure. But let's not rush, let's wait further. And we see

[11:20] that we are already forming a lower high. Our high has not been updated, it has Our high has not been updated, it has not become higher. We get lower high. After which we see a trend where our barking begins to

[11:37] decrease. Lower low. We get lower high, lower loy, lower high. That is, here we already have a descending structure. And at what point this breakdown occurs, we must record it in order to understand for ourselves at what point the

[11:53] structure broke down. We mark in the upward movement the moment where we had a higher low, our last high low, which gave a

[12:05] high. The moment we receive a The moment we receive a loyalty update, we record a breakdown of the structure. And this will be our boss, our break of structure. Here we record the breakdown of the

[12:19] structure. Now let's see how it looks in a shawl. In shorts it looks exactly the same, only in reverse. We exactly the same, only in reverse. We have a top-down structure. And if

[12:33] have a top-down structure. And if in the long scenario we were looking for a higher low and from there we were pulling the structure breakdown to the lower lows, then here we will be looking for a lower high, and we will get an updated high, that is, a higher high high. And at this moment

[12:47] we record our breakdown of the structure. That is, you can look at the same picture, and on the contrary, it may initially seem heavy, but it only seems heavy at first

[13:02] glance. Once you've worked with this a couple of times, you'll be able to spot structural breaks very, very quickly. We also have a third type of structure called Range. Range is a structure that cannot be

[13:17] defined as either descending or ascending. As a rule, range, consolidation, accumulation, you may have heard these accumulation, you may have heard these words before, this is just a sideways movement. This is a squeezed

[13:30] price that is likely to expand soon, either short or long. When the market is moving sideways or consolidating, we do nothing and just

[13:45] watch it all. It won't be possible to make any decisions here . We do not trade in the range. Liquidity. Market fuel. What is liquidity? Surely many have heard

[13:58] this word, but no one can give an exact definition. Liquidity is a zone of deferred money. Liquidity lies in the stop-losses of market participants, which allows a large player to realize his position. Here I have displayed

[14:15] liquidity as fuel and written below: "If you don't see it, then it is you." Literally, if you don’t understand where the liquidity is on the

[14:28] chart, then most likely it is hidden in your stop-loss. and you will most likely be removed. Let's break it down a little further to understand exactly what liquidity is, and I'll show you a simple old example. We are at

[14:45] a simple old example. We are at this place in the market. Let's say you and I are some kind of fund that manages billions. We have a goal to buy this billions. We have a goal to buy this asset for $100 billion.

[15:00] If we buy an asset at this point, then most likely it will close us much, much higher, and this purchase will no longer be so profitable for us. That is, our goal is to buy cheaper and sell more expensive. That's understandable. Our goal here is to

[15:13] What are we going to do, huh? That is, at the moment the market is in the glass, if we are closed, then, as I already said, we will go very, very high. We need to go very, very high. We need to find where there is a lot of money, thanks to

[15:28] find where there is a lot of money, thanks to which we will be able to make a purchase for this amount. And the answer lies right here. The money is in stop-losses, in obvious liquidity pools that are reflected in the

[15:43] liquidity pools that are reflected in the market, either as tails or as some kind of session boundaries. We will talk about this further. where, in theory, a stop-loss could be placed for market participants who are currently

[15:55] in long positions. Now let's see what happens. We must suppress the price. It's the same chart. We must suppress the price. We chart. We must suppress the price. We pushed the price down from here, came here, and activated

[16:10] pushed the price down from here, came here, and activated all the participants' stop-losses. Participants, due to the fact that we activated their stop-losses, throw money into the market, and we directly buy it all up and realize our position

[16:25] for the amount we needed. After that, yes, the price starts to rise directly. So what did we do? We made a manipulation to the short, collected liquidity and immediately

[16:38] went long, where then, perhaps, we will implement the sale and count the we will implement the sale and count the profit from our position. This is a very simple explanation of liquidity. I think now no one will have any

[16:53] questions about what this is and how to manipulate liquidity. Let's also consider several types of liquidity. The most common are

[17:06] liquidity pools called BSL and SSL, that is, BY Sй liquidity and sellli liquidity. These are the usual liquidity pools that were here, from which we conditionally realized our position. And they are used most often in the market

[17:23] , that is, they are visible on the chart. And these are the most classic these are the most classic liquidity floors. Here on the left you can see the short work from the withdrawal of BYS liquidity then to Selsai liquidity, since

[17:36] our market moves from liquidity to liquidity and in between produces a rebalance. On the right side, we see how we initially worked from Cell Side Liquidity to Bysite Liquidity. This means that, most likely

[17:50] , some position was realized here again. We collected liquidity, and then he realized it, because, as a rule, people close their positions in the same way on liquidity pools, so as not to provoke dumps or pumps. I think

[18:05] provoke dumps or pumps. I think that's clear. Iquals, equal highs, equal that's clear. Iquals, equal highs, equal lows. What is this? Iquals are equal lows or equal highs.

[18:17] This is when the price approaches some semi-liquidity, but does not remove it and gives some kind of reaction. On the left we see a long example, on the right we see a short example. That is, as a

[18:34] rule, ikvals are a magnet for price. Since liquidity has not been collected here , we give a rebound, and this movement provokes an entry in the direction of manipulation. But, as a

[18:49] rule, this is most often manipulation, and the price then returns the price then returns back and removes those same equalizations. But back and removes those same equalizations. But there is this thing called SM.

[19:05] What is SMT? As a rule, there are correlations in our markets . This is when assets can move either completely

[19:18] opposite to each other, or when they move more or less the same. That is, if we open the pound-dollar and euro-dollar charts, we will see more or less the same picture there. And this means that if you are trading the pound

[19:35] and you see that we have equals remaining, and at the moment you see a short, but you remember that I told you that an equal is a good magnet for the price. And, most likely will return here, and you will become simply liquidity and you will be knocked out by a stop, then,

[19:53] most likely, you also need to go in and check on the SMT with the euro, because at this time the euro can withdraw the necessary liquidity pool and pull the price along with it. Immediately

[20:08] pull the price along with it. Immediately after this, yes, the price of the pound will be drawn in and you can open a position from the SMT. Euros Dixie also has it more pronounced, but this is a deeper topic that we will discuss in the second part. So,

[20:25] when you see a similar picture on the pound and then go in and see a withdrawal on the euro, you can calmly write to yourself that this is SMT, and open your position.

[20:37] Local liquidity and global liquidity. Liquidity is divided into two liquidity. Liquidity is divided into two types: local and global. Local liquidity serves to continue the trend. The withdrawal of global liquidity could

[20:50] lead to a change in trend. As a rule, no one talks about this, but I decided that it was worth touching on this topic anyway, so that there is an understanding of why we do not move away from each liquidity floor in the opposite direction and in general, so that there is

[21:06] no confusion. I will show you a good example that shows how the price is charged from local liquidity to global liquidity. That is, we have one big pool, which we can see here. And in general, from this moment on, the price

[21:22] begins to approach this semi-liquidity . What happens . What happens when local liquidity is withdrawn? At this moment, the big player gains positions. That is,

[21:38] we regularly have a withdrawal of local liquidity so that we have, so to speak, the fuel to achieve global liquidity. That is, we see the removal of liquidity number one, followed by the removal of liquidity number two, number three,

[21:56] number four. And when we already approach the large pool, here we are completely unloaded. That is, thanks to local liquidity and constant manipulation, we can calmly come to a large pool

[22:10] we can calmly come to a large pool and unload there. That is, this moment is called Orderflow. We'll talk about him a little later too. And the purpose of this slide is precisely to show that every

[22:25] market movement plays its role. We can see, yes, how we went long, removed liquidity, liquidity, but when we came to a large pool, we completely unloaded, dumped the entire volume that was there, and

[22:40] dumped the entire volume that was there, and completely reversed the trend. This is global liquidity. You should never overdrag your take profits. for global liquidity, because something like this could happen and you'll

[22:53] happen and you'll get hit on the head with a hit on the zone of interest. get hit on the head with a hit on the zone of interest. What is this? Poi is the zone in which What is this? Poi is the zone in which we expect some kind of reaction.

[23:05] Almost no trading system can do without working with POY. Poi is some zone that is marked on the graph. And when the price gets there, we

[23:20] expect to see either our entry model, or some kind of aggressive exit, or disrespect for this point, which gives us an understanding that our point is no longer

[23:33] relevant and we need to change a little to suit the market. Here is an example of what good, correct work with singing looks like. We arrive at our zone of interest, make the final manipulation within it, and then

[23:49] make the final manipulation within it, and then go long. Here is an example for you in a real situation, where the FVG is used. That is, we see how we came to imbalance. We react to the imbalance and directly

[24:07] enter the position and close the take profit perfectly . You are probably wondering what . You are probably wondering what is FVG? FVG or Fair Value GAP is the is FVG? FVG or Fair Value GAP is the fair value gap or.

[24:21] fair value gap or. Ince, im, FVG. There are many, many names. Let's leave FVG and continue to call it g. It's a price magnet, and the price always strives for balance and returns

[24:35] directly to the FVGs. This means that when we have a price gap or imbalance or FBG, the price will return there with a very high

[24:48] probability. Moreover, the older the timeframe on which the FVG was marked, the timeframe on which the FVG was marked, the more likely it is that we will return to it . And FVG, as a rule, is our

[25:02] area of ​​interest, right? If the price has risen too much, gone too far, and we haven't had time to conditionally open a position, we can identify the imbalance, wait for the price there, and look for our position directly within this price . Working with imbalance can

[25:20] be done in several ways. The best one is a piece of crap. Fufil is a complete covering of the imbalance. And, as a rule, this is equivalent to withdrawing the liquidity pool, since imbalance is liquidity, that is, we need to work with it

[25:35] . And when we completely cover the entire zone, it is considered as a good withdrawal of the liquidity pool. And when we give a direct reaction, then we can, as in this case, open a long position. We

[25:49] formed an imbalance, we came to it , gave full field or FF and immediately went long. There are also options when we work from 0.5 imbalance, that is, yes, from its half and from its first touch. When

[26:05] we have the first touch, as a rule, I don’t gain positions. For me this is too little work with imbalance. I always wait for at least 0.5 to be sure that we have worked with liquidity and the price will not return here again

[26:20] . Inversion or afg. What is this? Let's assume that we have a short imbalance. Here you can see it.

[26:33] But this imbalance does not give us the reaction we need, and we break through it with an aggressive long imbalance, right? That is, we had a short imbalance, we broke it with a we had a short imbalance, we broke it with a long imbalance.

[26:47] This is called inversion, when one imbalance is broken by the opposite one. That is, if we had a long imbalance and we broke it with a short one, this is directly a short inversion, when a short imbalance is broken by a long

[27:01] imbalance - this is a long inversion. That is, we are showing the strength on the part of the buyer in this case. And we see how I display the inversion. If here I have noted the imbalance to show you how we arrived at it and how we

[27:16] broke through it, then here I have already directly noted the IFVG, that is, the inversion. I mark it by the imbalance, which has already broken directly through the zone of our imbalance. And how does it

[27:30] exactly the same way. We can use this as a sing. This is also called BPR. If you hear the word BPR somewhere, rest assured that it is an inversion of AFvg. And

[27:42] we give a reaction directly from here. That is, it also acts as a sing. What is GAP? As you know, the market closes on weekends, and while the

[27:55] market is closed, some geopolitical situation may occur in the world that may somehow affect the price of an asset. And when this

[28:09] happens, the market opens with a gap like this. A gap is simply a space that is created by a price break. That is, on Friday the price closed, and on Monday it opens here.

[28:23] This space is called a gap. It works exactly the same as gap. It works exactly the same as imbalance and inversion itself. That means the price will return there almost immediately with a very high probability,

[28:36] right? That is, we can also use it as a sing and make some decisions from it. Orderblock. What is an orderblock? This is an area on a chart that marks where large market participants, banks, brokers or

[28:51] institutions have placed large volumes of buy or sell orders. Typically, an order block is the last red candle before a rise and the last

[29:03] red candle before a rise and the last green candle before a fall. That is, I green candle before a fall. That is, I noted below here what a block is. I think no one will ever get confused. You can mark it with shadows, you can

[29:15] mark it by the body of the candle, but, to be honest , I personally do not use order block in my trading. And in general, all the blocks on the type of blocks, I don’t really

[29:29] think that they are too useful for beginners, since I myself, when I was a beginner, tried to trade rejection blocks, since it’s very, very easy. marked the area and went. But no, guys, I would advise you

[29:46] to initially work with some simpler tools, and then move directly to order blocks and rejection blocks. Since I already mentioned and rejection blocks. Since I already mentioned projection blocks, let's

[30:00] talk about it. What is this? We have the block marked here. This is the place that is formed after the ransom, right? That is, we see that we have two such wicks left. We mark these wicks , and this is our reddest

[30:16] block. This means that, as a rule, the price comes into this zone and gives a direct reaction. In fact, the tool is very good, you just need to get the hang of it. This means that blocks are determined either on a daily basis or on a

[30:30] four-hour basis. Everything below, in my opinion , doesn't make much sense. You can work with cutting blocks either using a limit order, that is, we leave a limit a limit order, that is, we leave a limit buy order at the beginning of the zone and

[30:43] place a stop-loss a little beyond the zone. And as a rule, the position goes like this: either rule, the position goes like this: either inside the very regsh block, like poi, we enter, look for the formation of our entry model and gain directly from it

[30:59] entry model and gain directly from it . STB and BTS models. We'll be a little longer here, as this is my entry model and it's based is my entry model and it's based on manipulation. What are STB and BTS?

[31:15] I think you already understood how it is written here sell to buy and buy to sell. What does this mean? Let's look at sell to buy. Sell ​​to Let's look at sell to buy. Sell ​​to buy. What's happening on the chart? We

[31:30] buy. What's happening on the chart? We initially see manipulation of the sell order, which collects local liquidity, after which we receive a liquidity, after which we receive a sharp buyback and receive confirmation, that is,

[31:44] confirmation of this long. That is, at the moment we are getting high. This means that moment we are getting high. This means that we are pulling confirmation from the previous high. We see that we are gaining a foothold higher, and this is our confirmation. That is, we

[31:58] receive manipulation and confirm. The same thing happens with buy. Initially, a manipulation occurs in the buy order, after which we receive a confirm in the short order.

[32:11] after which we receive a confirm in the short order. That is what these manipulations look like. And after that we can highlight this zone, and it can become our future home. We can also enter at the moment of confirmation, press the market, set

[32:27] turns out to be the opening of a position directly on the bond. A tool that allows you to determine your comfort zone for entering a position. Not to be confused with singing. Poi are

[32:42] certain zones that have been formed in a certain way and that serve as a zone in which we must get a reaction. Fibonacci must get a reaction. Fibonacci touches on this topic indirectly. That is,

[32:57] we also have certain places where we expect some event, yes, that is, where we expect the trend to continue. But there are two options for working with Fibonacci. Let's look at the first one. This is the most

[33:12] classic, the most basic option. This is premium and discount. Let me explain here how it all happens. So we have price movement. We take a we have price movement. We take a Fibonacci grid, and it's

[33:27] Fibonacci grid, and it's divided into 1, 0.5, and 0. Everything between 0.5 divided into 1, 0.5, and 0. Everything between 0.5 and 1 is the premium zone. Anything from 1 to 0.5 is the discount zone. How to work with this ? It's common to buy in the discount zone

[33:44] , right? That is, in the discount zone it is customary to work long, and in the premium zone it is customary to work short. That is, if our price is in the discount zone, then we need to buy and look for

[33:57] some kind of long. When we go to premium, we can search for our shorts. But there is also a more advanced option. This is work with all, so to speak,

[34:10] the capacities that Fibnacichi provides. We apply a Fibonacci grid to the impulse or some price expansion and expect a rebound from certain zones. It could be 78, 61%, 50%, right? That is,

[34:29] we have a corrective movement and somewhere this correction ends and the Fibonacciki find this zone. But what interests me most are deep corrections, which, as can be seen in this example. This,

[34:43] by the way, is a recent position. So, here we received a reaction of exactly 78%, that is, this is considered a deep correction. If we flash 78%, then we invalidate this entire idea. And, most likely, this is where we

[34:59] won’t be able to do the most work. And according to Fibonacci, most work. And according to Fibonacci, indices and gold are being collected. And when they are in strong trends, we usually catch a correction from 23 and 38. That is, we do not go

[35:14] for deep corrections. When there are no strong expansions, we can safely expect a reaction of 78-61%. I'll also have a video coming out soon on my channel also have a video coming out soon on my channel about Fibonacci and how it can be

[35:28] combined with setups from Smartmania and Pricesection. So let's stay in touch. Sessions. Trading sessions on the market are periods of active work of the

[35:41] world's main financial centers, banks and exchanges, divided into geographical zones. That is, we have four geographic zones that are of interest to us. These are Asia, zones that are of interest to us. These are Asia, Frankfurt, London and New York. Time, huh,

[35:56] Frankfurt, London and New York. Time, huh, opening time is in UTC3 on your right, right? That is, we see that Asia opens at night, Frankfurt is open for us from 9:00 to 10:00. at night, Frankfurt is open for us from 9:00 to 10:00. London we trade from 10:00 to 15:00, but

[36:08] London we trade from 10:00 to 15:00, but in reality London trades until 18:00, right? That is, our London time is limited to 15:00, because at that time New York opens, and New York takes over the entire volume, so to

[36:22] speak. And we trade in New York from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Session highs and session lows are excellent targets for the next session.

[36:35] Therefore, often the next session necessarily removes the high or low of the previous one. What does it look like? Let's assume that the Asian session is forming here

[36:47] assume that the Asian session is forming here , and we note BYS liquidity and sell liquidity. We wait for the session to close and observe the work of London.

[36:59] At the opening, London first takes and removes BYS liquidity, after which it forms a full-fledged liquidity class setup . After which, perhaps, when New York opens, London's liquidity will become

[37:15] of interest to New York itself, right? That is, we might remove the London low and continue working on longs. Nobody knows anymore, but we must always keep in mind that the sessions of Hai and Lai are a very good target. In

[37:30] fact, a lot of setups are tied to working with session liquidity. AMD. AMD is the most common

[37:42] manipulation pattern we have. So what is AMD? This is accumulation, that is, a range or sideways movement, after which manipulation occurs. We get a

[37:56] false offset to one side. At this time, people think that most likely, yes, we will go long. open their long positions and receive true movement or distribution.

[38:13] This is a very, very common pattern that occurs in the Forex market. This can be tied to sessions, because it often happens that accumulation for us is the Asian session, manipulation in Frankfurt and distribution in London. Or

[38:29] distribution will be directly to New York. And when you start looking at the charts, you're likely to see AMD a lot, a lot. Therefore,

[38:41] when you see the formation of accumulation, manipulation, you will remember that there is also distribution, which can turn you around.

[38:55] is a method of analyzing a chart from a higher timeframe to a lower one. I myself use topd analysis, yes, that is, this is my main analysis method. And how does this happen? Yes, we do have timeframes for intraday trading. So, we

[39:11] start with the senior one, go to the daily timeframe and determine the structure, determine our points, determine targets, problem areas. FTA are problem problem areas. FTA are problem areas. After which we go down for 4 hours.

[39:26] We also note the ascending and descending structure, where there were breaks, what POIs we have, what targets. And we also mark problem areas. Problem areas can be imbalances that work against us, right? That is, if we are

[39:40] growing, an imbalance under short was once formed, and we can run into it and turn around. This is our FTA. And on the hourly basis we define targets and order flow. We'll talk about orderfow in just a

[39:56] couple of minutes. And on M15 or 5 we take position. That is, we enter into a position. First of all, we need to define the structure, we need to define the POIs, targets, problem areas. After which we check that

[40:13] everything matches on the watch. Yes, if we see a conditional order below that we see a conditional order below that we can work with, then we will successfully look for an entry point directly into a position on M15, right? That is, we have, say, a

[40:25] designated point at four o'clock , and we go down to it, right? That is, we come to it, begin to form some kind of order flow or begin to work with liquidity, and on M15 we can calmly open our position.

[40:41] This is how top-down analysis works. Now let's talk about order. This is a more advanced topic. We wo n't dwell on it for long, but I still can't skip it and not tell you about it. Orderflow is a flow of

[40:55] orders or order flow, which is a buy or sell, bringing the price into the area of ​​interest of large capital. This

[41:07] could be some kind of semi-liquidity or some long-standing imbalance that we have formed, and we need to trade off this inefficiency. By it is possible to open several positions that together generate a good

[41:22] profit. We'll go into more detail in Trading View. So, let's now take a look at what Orderflow is. In short, each order flow has its own point A and a final point B, that is,

[41:37] this is the place where the flow of orders begins and the place where this flow of orders ultimately arrives and ceases, so to speak, its existence. So, point A could be some kind of removed semi-liquidity, that is,

[41:52] the price comes here, we remove the semi-liquidity, and from here the formation of the order flow begins. Let's get one thing clear now. at the moment when one thing clear now. at the moment when we have our classical structure,

[42:05] we have our classical structure, we have highs, we have barks and so on. At this time, liquidity remains here. When our price moves, there remains remain stops of participants who are taking long positions. And going long here

[42:22] would be inadvisable, because most likely this liquidity will be withdrawn. As we already understood, in order to realize realize one of his positions, a big

[42:35] player needs to knock people out and collect their stops, so that they throw a lot of money into the market. Money is thrown into the market, uh, and a big player sells it all. Therefore, at an unexpected moment for us, everything just starts to be

[42:50] filmed, and then we see the formation of a normal picture. How to avoid this? The order flow itself is an advanced structure. What is an order flow? This is a

[43:05] order flow? This is a constant drain on liquidity and manipulation. This means that orderflow does not retain any liquidity. If you remember what STB and BTS models are, then you will understand that Orderflow consists of

[43:21] constant STB or BTS models. That is, these models are literally part of Orderflow, because we are constantly manipulating and constantly receiving confirmations. We

[43:37] have liquidity build, exit, liquidity build, exit. Liquidity build - you, exit. Removal, removal, removal. Confirmation, confirmation, confirmation. And all that remains for us is to simply open positions to

[43:53] our point B. I have a great video about orderflow. If anyone wants, you can come and take a look. Let's get back to the presentation. Context.

[44:07] Context is the combination of all factors that are present in a topdown analysis, plus taking into account the fundamental side or the geopolitical situation in the world. Let me give you an example. We have a daily time frame. We see a

[44:22] good long structure on it. There are no FTAs, or problem areas, along the route. And we have a clear tat. That is, we have a clear picture. During the day we understand where we are heading. At four o'clock everything is the same. log structure, there are

[44:36] no problem areas, the target remains the same as on the daily timeframe. On the hourly chart we see a flow of orders, that is, we see orderflow. And on the fundamental side we have no news. That is,

[44:53] the Fed is not expected to raise the rate tomorrow, there are no blockades, etc., that could hinder our long. And we conclude that our context is long. That is, the context is not some dry set of structure and

[45:11] technique. In context, we take absolutely everything into account. If you need to take into account any session narratives, that is, if you need to look at what liquidity was withdrawn during the session, if there was something interesting there, then this is also taken into account in the

[45:26] context. If a lot of semi-liquidity was removed, that also affects the context, right? That is, it seemed like we had a long structure, everything was fine, but we are removing a large, so to speak, global pull of liquidity, and we

[45:39] understand that the context for us may change. And we can’t say that right now our context is 100% lang, because we have a removed target, and we need to see how the price will react to this.

[45:54] will react to this. Context is not a dry set of factors. Remember this. This is very important. And context needs to be given special importance and context needs to be given special importance and time needs to be spent on understanding it.
