Main Ideas / Lessons

  • Trading entries feel inconsistent because they are often not random, but not following a required sequence.
  • The model is a conditional entry framework: take an entry only when three elements align.
  • The strategy is designed as:
    • Weekly context (direction)
    • Liquidity sweep (permission/fuel)
    • CISD structure shift + retrace (execution trigger)

The approach is shown working across any market (example: a crypto token) using lower time frames for execution.

The “Only Entry Model” (3-Step Methodology)

1) Align With Weekly Candle Context (Direction)

Before looking at lower time frames, ask:

  • Is the weekly candle sweeping liquidity or continuing direction?

Simple weekly checks:

  • Are we near a weekly high or near a weekly low?
  • Has the relevant liquidity already been taken?

Lesson: The weekly candle provides directional context.

2) Liquidity Requirement (Permission / Fuel)

  • No liquidity sweep = no entry
  • You must see price:
    • Run above a high or below a low
    • Then reject

The sweep is what shifts the odds and provides “fuel for expansion.”

Lesson: Price must first take stops (sweep liquidity) before looking for the trade.

3) Structure Shift Confirmation (Execution via CISD)

Most traders fail by entering too early after the sweep.

Wait for:

  • The CISD:
    • A clear internal shift / break in structure
    • Followed by a retracement

This “CISD then retrace” is presented as the actual execution trigger.

Sequence recap: Weekly candle context → liquidity sweep → CISD structure shift execution

How the Entry Is Executed (Chart Procedure)

Mark and Identify Levels on the Weekly Chart

Use the weekly chart (each candle = 1 week). Mark:

  • Highs and lows
  • Untapped levels
  • Where a sweep occurred on the weekly candle (liquidity was taken)
  • Weekly lows/highs that were later swept and rejected

Move to a Lower Time Frame for the Trigger

Use 5-minute or 15-minute charts for entry timing.

Example described:

  • Price breaks below the weekly low
  • Then traders do nothing immediately—wait for price to re-enter the range

Wait for CISD and Enter

When price re-enters the range:

  • Look for a CISD printed/marked (by the SMCX indicator in the demo)

Entry rules stated:

  • Enter on candle closure
  • Stop loss goes below the swing lows

Targets:

  • Target the most relevant liquidity highs (liquidity “draws”)
  • Targets are illustrated as prior liquidity points on the opposite side

Re-Entries / Multiple CISDs

The example describes scenarios where:

  • Price sweeps the lows again
  • Another CISD forms

The model allows multiple entry points as additional CISD confirmations occur, while using the defined stop logic to protect the position.

Confirmation Behavior After Entry

The speaker states that once the CISD is broken, it is usually a strong sign price will continue in the intended direction:

  • Sometimes there may be a retracement
  • Continuation is expected

Manipulation logic described:

  • If it is a “true manipulation” move, price should not travel further past the swept level (it should move opposite the manipulation).

Tool Mentioned (Automation / Simplification)

  • The SMCX indicator is described as:
    • Marking weekly levels
    • Detecting liquidity sweeps
    • Highlighting CISD automatically

Purpose:

  • Reduce guessing
  • Help traders follow context → sweep → shift
