4-step trading methodology

Step 1 — Define higher-timeframe bias + draw on liquidity

  1. Primary timeframes: Daily, 4-hour, 1-hour
  2. Secondary timeframe: 15-minute to “double-check” around the open.
  3. Bias via Fair Value Gaps (FVGs):
    • Bearish bias: respect bearish FVGs; disrespect bullish FVGs
    • Bullish bias: respect bullish FVGs; disrespect bearish FVGs
  4. Draw on liquidity:
    • Ask: “What swing high or swing low are we going towards?”
  5. Explicit caution:
    • Avoid being “chopped” by relying only on very low timeframes.
    • Example: drawing on 1-minute can lead to chop within about 5 minutes into open.

Key timeframes referenced for bias

  • Daily, 4H, 1H (main)
  • 15-minute (near open / check)

Step 2 — Identify 2–3 valid key levels (“where price bounces”)

Timeframes used for key levels

  • 3-min, 5-min, 15-min, 30-min, 1H, 4H

Allowed key level types

  1. Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
    • May use unmitigated FVGs or an intermediate high/low inside the gap.
    • If price has already traded away from the gap:
      • Bullish: wait for the low inside the gap to be swept
      • Bearish: (mirror logic)
  2. CISDs (Change in State of Delivery)
    • Bullish CISD: candle body closes above down-closes that hit a FVG or intermediate low inside an FVG
    • Bearish CISD: candle body closes below up-closes that hit a FVG or intermediate high inside an FVG
    • Emphasis: CISDs are best used with FVGs, but can be used alone.
  3. Rejection Blocks
    • Bullish rejection block: bullish wick into a FVG / intermediate low
    • Bearish rejection block: bearish wick into a FVG / intermediate high
    • Additional detail: draw out CE of the range for “bottom tick entries,” but the creator notes they may not enter exactly at the level—they wait for confirmation.

Strategy upgrade vs prior approach

  • Previously: trades primarily off fair value gaps (or their intermediate high/low).
  • Now: also allow CISDs and rejection blocks to create entries even when no clean new FVG forms, aiming for higher-quality opportunities.

Step 3 — Confirmation via IFVG (Inversion FVG)

Goal: confirm order flow flipped before entering.

  • Confirmation timeframes: 1-min, 2-min, 3-min, 4-min, 5-min
  • Rule: wait for the highest time frame IFVG within the “manipulation leg.”
    • Manipulation leg = swing high → swing low (the leg that hit your key level)

Common mistake described

  • Using an IFVG on a lower timeframe before the higher-timeframe inversion is complete can cause failures.

Beginner caution

  • For novices, waiting for the highest-timeframe inversion is recommended for better win rate, even if risk/reward worsens.

Optional note

  • 30-second IFVG may be used, but the creator recommends backtesting and sticking to minute charts if new.

Step 4 — Execute + risk management

Typical entry logic

  • Usually enter on body closure of the IFVG.
  • If risk becomes poor (e.g., close too high), use limit orders at:
    • the IFVG, or
    • the CISD

Risk / target rules

  • Targeting roughly ~1:1 RR to 1:3 RR
  • “Low-hanging fruit” targets:
    • Use draw on liquidity from the higher timeframe,
    • but take profit at the closest obvious high/low on the execution timeframe (not necessarily the full distant target).

Stop loss guidance

  • Varies by setup:
    • swing low/high, FVG edges, sometimes order blocks
  • For beginners: safest placement suggested is at the swing low.
  • Management: may move to break-even after certain levels are hit.

Trade frequency / daily loss control

  • Max 1–2 trades per day
    • After one win: “done”
    • After one loss: “probably also done”
    • After two losses (stopped twice): “done for the day”

Trading hours (explicit)

  • Only trade 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. ET (“golden hour”).
  • Rarely trade after 11:00, only if early window was bad or liquidity was generated.

Key numbers / explicit targets mentioned

  • Win rate goal: ~70%
  • Risk/reward range: 1:1 to 1:3
  • Max trades/day: 1–2
  • Trading window: 9:30–11:00 ET
  • Example stop detail: 124 points (described as “huge”)
  • Example “extra” profit possibility: ~10 points (when using ES instead of waiting)
