“Change in State / Rejection block” trading concept

The video discusses an entry setup where a price structure shift—specifically a close below an “up close candle”—is treated as a change in state of delivery. This is explained as functioning similarly to an order block / rejection block idea.

Order block validation using imbalance + multi-timeframe confirmation

To avoid treating random zones as valid, the setup uses imbalance and multi-timeframe confirmation.

Key rule:

• Scale down in timeframes to confirm the higher-timeframe order block isn’t random.

Example flow:

• A 1-hour order block is considered valid if it contains an internal 15-minute imbalance.
• The 15-minute imbalance provides the “meaning,” because price previously reacted to that imbalance.

Motivation:

• Without internal confirmation, randomly chosen order blocks tend to get “wrecked,” implying they were not actually meaningful.

Using Fibonacci (Fib) for precision entries

After identifying the order block + imbalance, the speaker uses Fib retracement/levels to find where price will “tap in reverse.”

• A commonly mentioned Fib level for entries/targets is around 0.705 (presented as a typical target/entry zone).

Targets and risk placement

• Targets are scenario-based (e.g., “target this low, 50 points, 60 points”).
• Stop loss is described as tight/precise (example: edging the stop by about two points without getting stopped out).

Higher-timeframe focus improves win rate

The speaker argues that many viewers could improve by focusing on 1-hour and down, avoiding overly granular timeframes.

• They mention they don’t use the 1-minute at all and imply it’s unnecessary.

Additional setup: Inverse Fair Value Gap model at the 50% mark

Inverse FVG (fair value gap) confirmation

The speaker emphasizes inverse fair value gaps, especially on the 5-minute and 15-minute charts, as confirmation tools.

Repeatable observation / rule:

• Enter at the 50% mark of the inverse fair value gap.
• Use a relatively small stop (mentioned around ~5 points).
• Claim: price often reverses extremely frequently right at that 50% level.

The speaker suggests you can build a repeatable model from this behavior because it “happens all the time,” and notes it was observed/used that day as well.

Consistency claim across timeframes

They state the pattern repeats on:

• 15-minute and 5-minute inverse FVGs

They also reference additional inverse/related FVG confirmation on another timeframe (including a 15-minute inverse alongside the 5-minute).

References to earlier videos/guides mentioned

The speaker implies viewers may have already seen related content:

• “Changing State of Delivery” video
• “Gap fill” video

They also hint they may create a separate video specifically about the 50% inverse FVG phenomenon.
