Retail patterns become useful only when their highs and lows are understood as pools of stop orders—not as magical shapes.
Lesson map
From indicators to context
The creator traces his path from naked price action and indicator stacks to supply and demand, The Strat, and finally ICT concepts.
The H pattern
An H or inverse-H often completes at the low or high of day because those extremes collect stop-loss orders.
The Strat candles
A 1 is inside the prior candle, a 2 breaks one side, and a 3 trades outside both sides. Setups such as 2-1-2 and 3-2-2 aim for the next candle extreme.
Limits and chop
The Strat may help with direction, but entries can have poor reward-to-risk. A broadening formation signals both sides being swept and potentially poor New York conditions.
Do not predict the exact reversal level. Let price confirm which liquidity sweep matters through displacement, structure, and the FVG it leaves behind.
Lesson map
Choose an entry model
Test several models, then specialize. The creator prefers broken FVGs because price tends to leave the area quickly.
Which high reverses?
London high may validate a short before previous-day high if its sweep produces decisive bearish displacement and structure shift.
Multi-timeframe confirmation
The same move can show several 1-minute gaps but one clean 3-minute FVG. Candle-body respect can matter even when a wick pierces the zone.
Valid idea, no fill
A subtle low sweep creates a strong bullish move, but the conservative 3-minute entry never retraces. The right outcome can still be no trade.
The overlooked pool
A tempting long fails because lower equal lows remain untouched. Look far enough left before declaring liquidity cleared.
Time filters opportunity: kill zones tend to concentrate volume and meaningful liquidity runs, but session models must never override the price action actually printing.
Lesson map
Trading includes waiting
Patience is part of execution. A trader may watch for hours before one valid setup appears, and performance should not depend on excitement.
Futures kill zones
The creator marks Asia from 8:00 p.m.–midnight, London from 2:00–5:00 a.m., New York AM from 8:30–11:00 a.m., and New York PM from 1:30–4:00 p.m. Eastern.
Volume and clean delivery
Higher-volume windows often produce better movement. Clean delivery respects directional FVGs and continues; repeatedly violating gaps suggests weaker conditions.
Asia and Power of Three
Asia commonly consolidates, while London and New York may provide manipulation or distribution. The sequence is a guide—not a forecast that must occur.
When to stop or return
After a productive AM move, the creator usually stops. If AM is choppy or unproductive, lunch or PM can sometimes offer a cleaner opportunity.
Liquidity prefers active windows
Major external highs and lows are more likely to be taken during London or New York than during low-volume Asia.
Equal highs, equal lows, and London session extremes can be strong draws—but only when price develops momentum and an entry model toward them.
Lesson map
Rank equal levels
Two adjacent equal wicks are the weakest version. Three or more touches, wider separation, and exact prices make the pool more visually obvious and more useful.
A target is not an entry
Several equal lows can make a long unattractive, but they do not create a short by themselves. Wait for displacement, broken opposing FVGs, and an execution retracement.
Nine equal lows
A row of lows formed outside a kill zone remained untouched until New York. Bearish delivery then provided the reason to target them.
Widely separated pools
Matching highs hours apart can remain a future draw. The creator waits for bullish structure rather than assuming price must reach them immediately.
After the sweep
Do not buy merely because equal highs were taken or sell merely because equal lows were taken. Wait for a fresh reversal or continuation model.
London high and low
Either extreme can be a target or reversal area. After a sweep, look for MSS plus an FVG; continued displacement through the level suggests another pool remains beyond it.
Order blocks · CISD · liquidity sweep · institutional order flow · retracement
Core idea
The lesson defines an order block as the final opposite-direction candle involved in a confirmed change in price delivery. The creator treats the pattern as meaningful only when it appears in the right liquidity and momentum context—not every red candle before a rally or green candle before a drop is automatically an order block.
Bullish: sweep a low, confirm above the down-close candle, then watch its open on a retest. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
Sweep liquidity → form an opposite-colour candle → close decisively through that candle → mark its open → watch for a retracement and continuation.
Lesson map
Timestamp ranges are approximate and may overlap.
What an order block is
The creator distinguishes order blocks from broad supply-and-demand zones.
He also relates the idea to CISD: Change in State of Delivery.
An order block is a specific candle formation showing that price delivery has shifted after meaningful liquidity has been taken.
The surrounding context determines whether the candle matters.
Bullish and bearish anatomy
Bullish order block: Price sweeps a meaningful low or sell-side liquidity.
Bullish order block: A bearish/down-close candle forms.
Bullish order block: The following bullish candle closes above that bearish candle.
Bullish order block: The bearish candle's open becomes the main order-block reference.
Bullish order block: A later retracement to the block may support a long continuation.
Bearish order block: Price sweeps a meaningful high or buy-side liquidity.
Bearish order block: A bullish/up-close candle forms.
Bearish order block: The following bearish candle closes below that bullish candle.
Bearish order block: The bullish candle's open becomes the order-block reference.
Bearish order block: A retracement to the block may support a short continuation.
Validation comes after the candle
While the candidate candle is forming, the trader does not yet know that it will become a valid order block.
Confirmation requires the next move to close through the candidate candle in the expected direction.
A strong candle body and decisive momentum are preferred.
The candle's open is emphasized as the most important reference; some traders may mark the full candle range as a zone.
Entries, stops and order flow
If price returns to a validated order block and respects it, the retest can serve as an entry location.
For a bullish block, risk is generally invalidated below the block or swept low.
For a bearish block, risk is generally invalidated above the block or swept high.
The creator also uses order blocks to read institutional order flow and directional continuation, not just as mechanical entry signals.
Weak or invalid blocks
Lower-quality order blocks include:
Candles with small bodies and excessive wicks.
Patterns that did not follow a meaningful liquidity sweep.
Candidates that never receive a confirming close.
Blocks that price cleanly violates on the retracement.
Isolated formations taken without trend, liquidity, or momentum context.
Bearish: sweep a high, confirm below the up-close candle, then watch its open on a retest. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.The opposite-colour candle remains a candidate until the following move closes decisively through it. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Prefer decisive bodies and meaningful sweep context; thin bodies and large wicks weaken the evidence. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
“Institutional order flow” and order-block reactions are part of the creator's ICT framework. A candle formation cannot verify who placed the underlying orders, and the level can fail; it should be treated as contextual evidence rather than guaranteed support or resistance.
Daily bias · daily open · multi-timeframe analysis · premium/discount · liquidity · FVG · order blocks
Core idea
The lesson reframes daily bias as a flexible directional assessment rather than a rigid prediction of whether the daily candle will close green or red. For an intraday trader, the more useful question is what the one-hour and four-hour charts suggest and how price reacts when it reaches liquidity, order blocks and fair value gaps.
The daily open supplies location context. Buying below or selling above still requires confirmation. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
Higher-timeframe context → premium/discount and PD arrays → liquidity map → observe the reaction → execute on a lower timeframe or revise the bias.
Lesson map
Timestamp ranges are approximate and may overlap.
What daily bias means
Daily bias normally refers to the expected direction of the current daily candle.
The creator argues that a one-minute or five-minute trader does not need to predict the entire daily candle to find opportunities within it.
His broad location guideline is:
Look for potential buying opportunities below the daily open.
Look for potential selling opportunities above the daily open.
This is context, not a standalone entry signal.
Use one-hour and four-hour context
The creator prefers the 1H and 4H charts for practical intraday bias.
Assess whether momentum is currently bullish or bearish.
Determine whether price is trading in premium or discount relative to the relevant impulse leg.
Mark higher-timeframe order blocks and fair value gaps that could create a reaction.
Liquidity helps frame the likely move
Equal highs and equal lows provide obvious liquidity targets.
Several equal lows may create a bearish draw; equal highs may create a bullish draw.
Price reacting from an order block or respecting an hourly FVG may support continuation.
Lower-timeframe entries should still wait for the user's actual confirmation model rather than entering solely because a target exists.
Bias must adapt to price
Daily bias is not fixed before the session and defended all day.
Watch whether price respects or violates the marked FVG/order-block area.
A convincing reaction can reinforce the current bias; decisive displacement through the area can invalidate or reverse it.
Overnight or later-session price action can change the next morning's assessment.
No clear bias means no forced trade
There is no universal formula that produces a correct daily bias every day.
If liquidity, momentum and PD arrays conflict, the creator prefers patience over forcing a direction.
Bias improves through screen time, observing reactions and reviewing repeated examples.
The practical goal is to react consistently to evidence, not to prove an early prediction correct.
Map 4H/1H momentum, premium or discount within the relevant leg, and FVG/order-block areas before 5M/1M execution. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Repeated equal lows mark a possible downside draw. Their existence alone does not supply a short entry. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A respected higher-timeframe FVG plus lower-timeframe structure can reinforce the working bias. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Decisive displacement through the marked zone invalidates the original view: reassess or stand aside. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
Daily bias is a planning hypothesis, not a forecast with certainty. The creator's claims about liquidity targets, order blocks and FVGs describe his framework; unexpected information and broader order flow can invalidate the narrative quickly.
The lesson explains the Judas Swing: an initial move that appears directional but reverses into the session's more significant move. The opening move is context rather than an entry by itself.
Opening range → sell-side sweep → bullish displacement and structure break → FVG retest → buy-side target. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
The name refers to a move that “betrays” early traders.
Price initially moves strongly in one direction.
Early traders enter or relocate their stops.
Price then reverses and travels in the opposite direction.
In the creator's framework, the first move often collects liquidity for the later move.
The pattern commonly appears near a market or session open.
Bullish and bearish models
Bullish Judas Swing: Price opens or consolidates.
Bullish Judas Swing: It sharply moves lower and may sweep sell-side liquidity.
Bullish Judas Swing: Bullish displacement breaks a recent high.
Bullish Judas Swing: A bullish FVG or another entry model forms.
Bullish Judas Swing: Price may expand toward buy-side liquidity.
Bearish Judas Swing: Price initially rallies.
Bearish Judas Swing: The rally sweeps buy-side liquidity or traps breakout buyers.
Bearish Judas Swing: Bearish displacement breaks a recent low.
Bearish Judas Swing: Price retraces into a bearish entry area.
Bearish Judas Swing: Sell-side liquidity becomes the potential target.
Not a standalone entry
Entry confirmation
Weak assumption
Stronger confirmation
“Price rallied, so it must reverse.”
Buy-side liquidity was swept
A single rejection wick
Decisive displacement
Price remains inside the range
Recent structure is broken
Immediate countertrend entry
FVG or entry model after confirmation
The Judas Swing should add confluence to an established setup, not replace it.
Consolidation example
Price consolidates and builds liquidity on both sides.
A sudden breakout attracts traders in that direction.
Price returns inside the range.
Confirmation in the opposite direction suggests the breakout may have been deceptive.
A brief move outside consolidation is insufficient; wait for an order-flow or market-structure shift.
Practical warning
A Judas Swing is often easiest to recognize after the reversal begins.
Do not predict it simply because the market has opened.
Initial moves can continue without reversing.
Patience and repeated screen time are required to distinguish deceptive movement from genuine expansion.
The opening rally sweeps buy-side liquidity. A bearish structure break and entry-area retest precede a possible sell-side run. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A return inside the range is an alert. Wait for opposite-side structure confirmation before treating the breakout as deceptive. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A wick with price still inside the range is weaker evidence than decisive displacement through recent structure. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Use the opening move as context, then require an established entry model. Without confirmation, skip the trade. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
The Judas Swing is a descriptive ICT label for a false opening move, not a guaranteed market event. The initial move can simply continue, and confirmation reduces uncertainty without eliminating risk.
iFVG · inverse fair value gap · liquidity sweep · body close · multi-timeframe execution · risk management
Core idea
This lesson introduces the creator's primary entry model: instead of assuming that every fair value gap will hold, he waits for price to close through an obvious FVG and then trades in the opposite direction. The broken gap becomes an inverse fair value gap (iFVG).
Left: the original bearish gap rejects a retest. Right: a body close above it establishes a bullish inversion in the creator's model. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
Liquidity establishes whether a reversal makes sense; a body close through an obvious FVG confirms the iFVG; the next high, low or inefficiency supplies the initial target.
Bullish iFVG
Price sweeps meaningful sell-side liquidity.
A clear bearish FVG is visible above price.
Price reverses and a candle body closes above the bearish FVG.
The failed bearish gap becomes bullish support.
Enter on the close or a retracement, then target the next high or inefficiency.
Bearish iFVG
Price sweeps meaningful buy-side liquidity.
A clear bullish FVG is visible below price.
Price reverses and a candle body closes below the bullish FVG.
The failed bullish gap becomes bearish resistance.
Enter on the close or a retracement, then target the next low or inefficiency.
Lesson map
Normal FVG model versus iFVG model
The traditional model enters when price retraces into an FVG after a liquidity sweep and structure shift.
The creator considers that approach harder because the trader must be highly accurate about the draw on liquidity.
His preferred model waits to see whether the FVG fails.
When price closes through the gap, he trades the resulting inversion instead of assuming the original gap will hold.
Liquidity context comes first
After a large selloff sweeps a major low, blindly shorting the next bearish FVG may mean selling too low.
The creator looks for one large, obvious gap that newer traders are likely to recognize and trade conventionally.
If price immediately rebounds from sell-side liquidity and closes above that bearish gap, he treats the close as bullish confirmation.
Wicks may cross the gap, but he prefers the candle body to close through it.
His recurring distinction is: wicks perform the sweep; bodies provide the stronger confirmation.
Timeframes, entries and risk
The creator uses 1M–5M charts for entries.
He uses 15M and higher charts for bias, not normal execution.
A single obvious FVG provides a cleaner invalidation area than several overlapping gaps.
If two nearby FVGs exist, price may react from either one; the creator may wait until both are broken.
A slightly higher execution timeframe can combine several lower-timeframe gaps into one clearer zone.
He commonly enters at the confirming candle's close when risk is acceptable.
If the confirming candle is unusually large, he may wait for a retracement.
In his example, he reduces intended risk by roughly 12.5%—$175 instead of $200—to allow for imprecise stop placement.
A body close back through the iFVG is treated as evidence that price may revisit the swept extreme.
Multiple-gap and target logic
When two bearish FVGs sit above price, breaking only the lower one is not enough because the upper gap may still reject price.
He waits for the last relevant gap to be violated before calling the bullish inversion complete.
The first destination is the next high or inefficiency created after the iFVG.
Reaching that destination may justify taking partial profit or moving the stop to break-even.
A three-minute example is refined with a 30-second re-entry; the creator treats the 30-second chart as advanced rather than necessary.
Which gaps qualify
The preferred gap is recent, singular, large and visible to the naked eye.
It should form in a leg that makes sense relative to liquidity.
If the confirming candle already reaches the next high while closing through the gap, the original target has already been delivered; the setup is no longer attractive.
Small, old or clustered gaps are lower quality.
A chart filled with many overlapping gaps lacks the clean “signature in price” he wants.
iFVG is only the entry model
The strongest example forms after three equal lows are swept in discount.
The liquidity event explains why a bullish reversal makes sense; the iFVG only supplies execution.
If the iFVG never forms, the market may still rally, but the creator has no entry under this model.
Do not scan the market for random inversions while ignoring liquidity, premium/discount and the broader draw.
A broken gap after the relevant lows have already been swept can produce chop instead of continuation.
The video's final rule is explicit: read the market through liquidity first and use iFVGs second.
A sell-side sweep supplies context. Close above the entire bearish gap, then target the next high if it remains available. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A buy-side sweep precedes a body close below the bullish gap. The next low supplies an initial target.

Illustrative model, not a price forecast.An advanced refinement: the 3M inversion supplies the signal, followed by a separate 30-second re-entry model. Normal entries remain 1M–5M. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.One recent, visible gap offers a cleaner reference than many small overlapping gaps in choppy delivery. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Three equal lows in discount are swept before the bullish inversion. The liquidity event explains the idea; the iFVG supplies execution. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
The creator describes iFVGs as very high probability and attributes large candles to institutional or algorithmic orders. Those are elements of his trading framework, not independently verified facts. A body close through an FVG can still fail, and the stated probabilities should be tested with the trader's own data.
This lesson extends Daily Bias Pt. 1 by showing how the creator uses 1H/4H FVG inversions, momentum and optional SMT divergence to form and update an intraday directional bias. A higher-timeframe gap is treated as a condition: respecting it supports the original direction; decisively closing through it supports the opposite direction.
Respecting the gap supports the original direction. A decisive body close through it supports revising the bias. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
Bias is not a prediction to defend. Let price's reaction to an obvious higher-timeframe gap confirm, invalidate or reverse the working thesis.
Lesson map
Higher-timeframe inversion framework
The creator normally uses the 1H and 4H charts for bias instead of predicting the daily candle.
He looks primarily for obvious FVGs, iFVGs and SMT divergence.
An obvious higher-timeframe gap may initially act as support or resistance.
A clean lower-timeframe reaction from the gap supports continuation.
Stalling at the gap and then closing through it causes him to change bias.
He acknowledges that major events such as FOMC can make the daily path less predictable and may sweep both sides.
SMT plus FVG violation
The example compares ES and NQ.
ES takes a prior high while NQ fails to do so, producing bearish SMT divergence.
The divergence occurs around overnight and 8:30 news activity, so it is not automatically a live entry.
When price then fails to extend higher and later dumps through an obvious hourly FVG, the bearish bias gains stronger confirmation.
Missing the early SMT does not eliminate the later signal from the broken hourly gap.
Location determines gap quality
The creator prefers obvious higher-timeframe gaps located where the trade makes sense.
A bullish FVG violated in premium is more useful for a bearish bias than one violated deep in discount.
A bearish FVG violated in discount can support bullishness more logically than one broken after price is already extended upward.
Low-quality location can still produce movement, but it often worsens risk-to-reward and reliability.
Momentum and balanced price ranges
Large bodies, speed and the number of candles required to break a gap help measure conviction.
A powerful bullish candle blasting through bearish FVGs suggests the market is not respecting them as resistance.
A balanced price range (BPR) is described as an overlapping bullish and bearish FVG.
The creator considers BPRs strong support/resistance but simplifies them as iFVG structure for this lesson.
Conflicting 15M evidence can prevent an apparently bullish higher-timeframe setup from being trusted.
“Death candle” bearish example
A strong, fast bearish candle cuts through a major bullish FVG in premium.
The creator calls this a death candle.
The lack of a meaningful bounce signals that the gap is being inverted rather than respected.
Bias becomes bearish and the next significant low becomes the main objective.
Capturing the entire move is unnecessary; scaling partial profit and accepting break-even on the remainder can still fit the plan.
Extending beyond the first target
An iFVG initially points to the next high or low.
To project beyond that first target, the creator wants fresh bullish/bearish displacement or another gap above/below the level.
Wicks beyond a target without strong body confirmation are not enough.
Perfect equal highs beyond the first target may provide an exception by creating an obvious additional draw.
Opening gaps and repeated inversions
A New Week Opening Gap may form around the Sunday futures reopen and act as support/resistance.
New Day Opening Gaps can play a similar role on subsequent sessions.
The creator combines these levels with FVG inversion rather than treating them as standalone signals.
Repeated bullish closes through several bearish FVGs strengthen bullish bias because expected resistance fails repeatedly.
Fifteen-minute fallback and optional SMT
If the 1H and 4H charts offer no useful signal, the 15M chart can help with intraday bias.
SMT is useful confluence but is not mandatory on every setup.
The strength and context of the iFVG may be enough without divergence.
Screen time is required to judge when an inversion is meaningful.
ES takes the prior high while NQ fails to do so. The divergence adds context; bearish displacement is separate confirmation. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Missing the early divergence does not erase a later hourly gap inversion. Wait for the evidence available now. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A bearish inversion in premium fits the creator's location logic better than the same pattern deep in discount. Location changes the available trade. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Compare speed and body size. Slow wicky movement through a zone is less decisive than a large body closing through it. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A BPR is the overlap between bullish and bearish FVGs. The overlap is a reference zone, not a guaranteed reaction. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A fast bearish body cuts through a bullish FVG in premium. The creator shifts bearish and marks the next significant low. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.The next high is the first objective. Fresh displacement or another gap supplies evidence for extending beyond it; a wick alone does not. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A New Week or New Day Opening Gap can overlap the working iFVG area. Combine the level with confirmation rather than trading it alone. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Start on 4H/1H. Use 15M when those charts are unclear, then use a lower-timeframe entry model. SMT is optional confluence. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
Terms such as “death candle” and the creator's probability language are personal heuristics, not standardized or guaranteed signals. Higher-timeframe FVGs, SMT divergence and opening gaps can all fail, especially around major scheduled news.
Data wick · news · liquidity target · market-structure shift · iFVG · order block · trade management
Core idea
The lesson defines a data wick as an unusually large wick created during high-impact scheduled news, commonly at 8:30 or 10:00 a.m. ET. The creator treats the wick as a potential liquidity target but waits for market structure and an entry model before trading back toward it.
An abnormal upper wick stands out against surrounding candles. Mark its extreme as a possible liquidity destination. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
Mark the abnormal news wick as a destination; let price move away; wait for reversal confirmation; use an iFVG, FVG or order block to trade back toward it.
Lesson map
What qualifies as a data wick
Check a USD economic calendar when trading NQ.
High-impact “red-folder” releases commonly occur at 8:30 or 10:00 a.m. ET.
The specific economic definition matters less to this model than knowing the release is high impact.
A qualifying wick must be abnormal, obvious and much larger than surrounding wicks.
Not every high-impact release creates one.
Tiny or ordinary wicks should not be labelled as data wicks.
First bullish return-to-wick example
A large upper wick forms during a Core PCE release.
Price initially trends downward with repeated lower highs.
The data high is a potential target, but the bearish structure shows price is not ready to reach it.
Price eventually breaks the last meaningful lower high with strong momentum.
A bearish FVG is inverted, creating a bullish iFVG entry.
Alternative execution: wait for a low sweep, bullish displacement and retracement into a bullish FVG.
In both cases, the data wick is the destination and the recent swing low provides invalidation.
A target is not an entry
The existence of a data wick does not justify a random long or short.
Price can move 50 points or more away before presenting a valid reversal.
An early iFVG immediately after a large dump may be too weak because insufficient structure has formed.
The trader must wait for an entry model that matches the liquidity narrative.
Second example: later structure shift
Another upper data wick forms during Advanced GDP and unemployment-claims news.
Price continues downward for an extended period.
A recognizable lower high eventually forms and is broken with momentum.
The displacement creates a small bullish FVG and validates a bullish order block.
A trader can enter on the FVG/order-block reaction, place the stop below the last swing low and target the data high.
Trade management is subjective
One trader may scale half at an intermediate high and move the remainder to break-even.
Another may hold the full position for the data wick.
Another may take only a small portion of the move.
The creator's drawn risk-to-reward box illustrates the idea, not the exact trade every viewer should capture.
In his example, an earlier trade reaches break-even and a later two-minute iFVG provides the cleaner continuation entry.
Profitability does not require capturing the entire return to the wick.
Reusable setup
Identify an abnormal wick created by high-impact news.
Mark its extreme as a possible liquidity target.
Let price move away from it.
Wait for structure to shift back toward the wick.
Require a reversal entry model such as an iFVG, FVG or order block.
Manage risk and target the data wick or scale at intermediate liquidity.
The creator associates the wick with liquidity voids left by the news move.
His final warning is to mark only wicks that clearly stand out.
Only the conspicuous news wick qualifies in this model. High-impact news does not guarantee that one will form. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Price first moves lower. A break of the last lower high and bullish iFVG then support a trade toward the data high. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A low sweep, bullish displacement and FVG retracement can supply the entry while the upper data wick remains the target. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.A small early inversion after a dump can fail. The meaningful lower high remains intact, so a target alone does not justify the entry. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.After an extended selloff, a meaningful lower high breaks. A new bullish FVG and validated order block offer entry references. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.The swing low before the confirmed bullish entry provides invalidation. An arbitrary internal candle is not the same structural reference. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Scale at intermediate liquidity, move a remainder to break-even according to plan, or retain a runner. The whole move need not be captured. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.The first attempt returns to break-even. A later two-minute inversion offers a separate continuation entry; success is not guaranteed. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.Mirror model: a lower news wick forms, price rallies away, then bearish structure and an entry model point back toward the wick. Illustrative model, not a price forecast.
The creator estimates that data wicks are revisited during the same day roughly 90% of the time. The video does not provide a dataset supporting that figure, so it should be treated as his observation and independently backtested. News volatility can also produce slippage, continued expansion or no same-day fill.
