Methodology / Step-by-Step Framework (5-Step Procedure)

1) Determine General Market Direction (15-minute timeframe)

• Use market structure:
  • Uptrend: higher highs / higher lows
  • Downtrend: lower lows / higher highs
• Look for:
  • Breakout of structure
  • “Change in character” confirmed when price closes beyond the prior:
    • higher high (bullish) or
    • lower low (bearish)
• Draw trend/support lines through prior lows to anticipate where higher lows (or the equivalent) may form.

2) Mark “Zones of Interest”

• Mark previous day high and previous day low as initial reaction limits.
• Identify fair value gaps (FVGs):
  • Bullish FVG breakout described as a 3-candle sequence where the first candle’s upper wick does not overlap the third candle’s lower wick.
  • Only use unfilled / not-disregarded FVGs.
    • If an FVG is filled or fully disregarded, it’s treated as invalid and removed.
• Mark additional bearish FVG breakouts and key horizontal support/resistance levels where price repeatedly reacted or impulsed away.

3) Wait for Price to React (“Do nothing” until confirmation)

• Remain inactive until price interacts with one of the identified key levels.
• Explicitly remove invalid gaps when price action negates the original idea (e.g., closes cancel the gap premise).

4) Entry Model on Lower Timeframe (Execution)

• Switch to 1-minute, then optionally 2–3 minutes for execution clarity.
• Entry logic:
  • Step 1: Wait for change in character on the lower timeframe.
  • Step 2: Require that an FVG forms during that character change.
  • Then wait for price to enter the FVG zone and show a reaction.
• Stop placement:
  • Use the midpoint of the FVG as the entry target reference.
  • Place the stop outside the relevant swing-low / key level (a tighter stop is avoided to prevent stops that are too close relative to the broader read).
• Risk reduction / breakeven:
  • After the next breakdown of structure, move stop to breakeven, described as turning the trade into a “risk-free deal.”

5) Take Profit Using ~1:4 R:R

• Set take profit using a target around risk/reward = ~1:4
  • Example shown: 3.92 (≈ 4R)
• Partial profit rule: usually close 50% at the next important point around 1:4.
• If not fully closed there, take further profits at subsequent key reaction zones as momentum continues.
• Example outcomes referenced:
  • Partial/continued holding toward previous day high
  • Closing after structure behavior indicates failure to refresh highs, followed by another character change

Optional More Aggressive Filtering (Fibonacci Upgrade)

After character change and gap formation, apply Fibonacci to the move:

• Look for entry within the 50% to 61.8% retracement range (“golden zone”)
• Purpose:
  • Avoid entries where the gap is too close to current price
  • Improve hit-rate
• Also mentions using a retest of the opposite side as an additional confidence method

Explicit Recommendations / Cautions

• Risk-reward vs win-rate philosophy
  • Designed to work with a low win rate (37%)
  • Let winners run while cutting risk quickly
• Take-profit caution
  • Warning that many traders take profit poorly and then watch price run beyond TP
  • This framework aims to standardize exits using market structure + FVG targets
• Invalidation rule
  • FVGs that are filled or disregarded are removed—don’t trade obsolete setups
• Execution discipline
  • “Literally do nothing” until price reacts and entry criteria are confirmed
• Stop discipline
  • Mentions concerns with very short stops—avoid stops misaligned with the higher-timeframe analysis
• Diary/testing
  • Emphasizes testing via replay and using a journal to find the best rule combinations
