Secondary Trend Formation
A secondary trend forms within the main structure, distinguishing between a substructure that develops against the main trend and one that moves in the same direction as the primary structure.
[00:15]
Swing Structure and Marbus
The swing structure reflects the key trading range. A marbus (market structure shift) signals the emergence of a substructure, aiming to form a swing structure high or low.
[00:30]
Trading Corrections
Trading within a correction of the external structure identifies the first significant support zone. Until reached, a bearish trading range is defined from the last high, and a short position is taken using a standard setup based on breaking the structure.
[00:45]
Entry Setup for Shorts
A limit order is placed at the beginning of the median imbalance, with a stop loss behind the overhigh and a take profit at level F, where the fall can end.
[00:57]
Reversal Confirmation
A decline continues to the logical reversal zone. The newly formed low may become a future swing structure high, but reversal confirmation only occurs after the confirmed low is updated, an event called a marbus.
[01:11]
Entering Long Positions
To enter a long position, define the range from the last low to the high, and on the correction to the bullish imbalance, open a position from its beginning. Place a stop under the key take on the structural high-high swing.
[01:36]
Context Importance
The most important aspect is the ability to take into account the context in which you work, as rules for internal structure mirror those for external structure.
The video emphasizes that understanding internal market structure, including substructures and marbus events, is crucial for identifying trading opportunities. The key takeaway is to always consider the broader context when applying these structural rules.
