Storyline / Concept Overview

The video explains how to trade “high/low of the day” using an institutional price-action framework built around:

  • Daily candle structure (open/high/low/close)
  • The “candle flip” idea (a close back above the low after trading below the open, or the inverse)
  • Catalyst zones: daily extreme supply/demand areas near the top/bottom quarter of the daily range
  • Liquidity absorption: first absorb prior liquidity (previous day high/low), then look for a directional move
  • Two trade entry styles:
    • Continuation entry via the daily candle flip
    • Reversal entry via price testing the day’s extreme supply/demand after liquidity is absorbed

Gameplay / Trading Mechanics (What to Do)

Core Definitions (Daily / Candle Flip)

A candle flip is described as:

  • Price goes below the daily open
  • Makes the daily low
  • Then closes back above the low (bullish flip behavior) (Implied mirror logic for the bearish side.)

Catalyst / Extreme Zones

  • The catalyst is the daily extreme supply or demand zone that “kicks off” the move.
  • A zone is “extreme” if it lies in:
    • Top quarter of the daily range → Extreme Supply
    • Bottom quarter of the daily range → Extreme Demand
  • Key rule emphasized: price often respects these extreme supply/demand zones, regardless of timeframe.

Liquidity Absorption Filter

To set up a trade, the video stresses absorbing external liquidity:

  • If bearish: absorb the previous day high
  • If bullish: absorb the previous day low

After absorption, price should then behave in the expected way. The explanation frames it as:

  • liquidity absorption → then the daily flip direction (or reversal behavior) plays out.

Entry Models (Strategy Highlights)

1) Continuation Entry (Uses the Daily Candle Flip)

Plan:

  • Wait for price to absorb the previous day’s liquidity
  • Then get below or above the current day open (depending on direction)

Trigger / Entry:

  • Once price moves below/above the daily open

Stop Loss:

  • At the current day high or low

Take Profit:

  • Into the relevant extreme supply/demand zone
  • Often referenced via micro timeframe levels + fib target logic

Extra note:

  • Price doesn’t always have to hit the catalyst exactly; it can react if price is near the discount/premium area (below/above 50% of the range).

2) Reversal Entry (After Liquidity Absorption, Then Test the Day’s Extreme)

Plan:

  • After price absorbs daily liquidity, it must drive opposite direction
  • Then wait for a retest (on micro timeframes) of the extreme supply/demand zone

Invalidation rule:

  • The setup is invalid if the candle direction required for the reversal is not correct.
  • Example logic given: a bullish day is required for the bearish example trade; otherwise the trade is “nullified.”

Key Examples / Logic Checks

  • Continuation example behavior

    • Price absorbs prior liquidity → makes a high → drops → comes back to test a micro supply zone → aligns with the reversal/continuation decision rules.

  • Reversal failure but continuation success

    • Price grabs liquidity and pushes aggressively, forming a micro demand retrace zone that fails as a reversal entry.
    • Meanwhile, once price reclaims above the daily open, the continuation condition becomes valid and works.

Data & Strategy Selection (Statistics Takeaways)

The video includes AUDUSD stats (June 2019–June 2020), with mention of broader data up to 2024, focusing on:

  • Trend
  • Entry model
  • Risk-to-reward / outcomes
  • Attempts per setup
    • Reversal trades: 30 attempts
    • Continuation flips: 22 attempts

It also describes categories like “non-applicable” when:

  • the setup doesn’t achieve at least 1R, or
  • the loss triggers earlier stop movement (described around 0.5R logic).

Multiple Setups on the Same Day (Important Behavior)

Sometimes the same entry setup can appear twice in one day, creating a pattern where:

  • One flip attempt is a loss
  • The next flip attempt is a gain of similar magnitude
  • Often they cancel out (example described: ~20-point loss then ~20-point win; one case became net +1R)

Final Performance Summary (Video’s Conclusion)

  • Trading both models (“every single setup”): 69.23%
  • Strictly trading retests: 63.33%
  • Strictly trading flips: 77.27%
