Trading Methodology / Framework (Explicit Steps)

They discuss a fair value gap (FVG) / liquidity-quest style plan using conditional statements around whether scheduled gaps get eliminated or left untouched.

Core elements

• Build a conditional plan with scenarios based on gap outcomes.
• Identify time-based FVGs across:
  • 4-hour
  • weekly
  • daily
• Emphasize that entering a gap “only from the top” is less significant, and instead focus on:
  • CE = 50% of the gap (gap midpoint/center)
  • Require that 50% of the gap has been “respected” (previous confirmation)

Bias determination

• They describe being bullish, but waiting for confirmation tied to a 4-hour bearish gap.

Targets / objectives

• If conditions line up, look for a liquidity target back into an “unmitigated gap” (a gap not yet revisited).
• They also describe a likely daily liquidity target “within this gap” for opening behavior.

Trigger / entry logic

• Ideal case
  • Market opens, moves down to touch the bearish 4-hour gap
  • Then look for a 5-minute reverse back into the unfilled 4-hour gap
• Alternative case
  • If price moves up into the 4-hour area without the desired sequence, they say they don’t expect to like the trade

Execution timeframe

• Execution happens on very short timeframes: 30 seconds to 5 minutes (explicit).

Key Market Context & Explicit Levels/Conditions

• Last two weeks: described as “somewhat difficult,” and they weren’t trading every day.
• 4-hour fair value gap: characterized as “looks pretty good.”

Weekly / daily gap framing

• They enter a “weekly fair value gap” situation.
• They reiterate:
  • CE is 50% of the gap
  • They ensure 50% of the fair value gap is respected
• They also reference a daily fair value gap:
  • Daily high is “intact”
  • Previous day’s low is “intact”
  • They also reference respecting 50% of the daily gap

Bias statement

• “I’m bullish” until they hit the 4-hour bearish gap.

Setup timeline (sequence at the open)

They want the sequence to happen immediately at market open:

• The market opens strong and eliminates a bearish gap and/or
• Or the market opens down and touches the bearish time slot first

Explicit Risk / Performance Observations (Trading “Competition”)

Warnings about replication

• They discuss “forcing deals” and caution viewers:
  • The challenge style is described as not how they normally operate
  • Explicitly: don’t operate this way; be disciplined and patient

Short-horizon execution stress

• They emphasize speed/latency:
  • “30 seconds were brutal”
  • Setup executed with extremely fast reaction windows

P/L and performance metrics mentioned

• One participant mentions “0.4 R”
• $372 is referenced (“372 doll hairs”) in the context of account/executions
• Account/result commentary includes:
  • A claim that one competitor “all you earned today was $4”
  • Compared with another “went up 300” (context: R/account outcomes)

Disclosures / behavioral disclaimer

• While “not financial advice” is not stated verbatim in the provided subtitles, they include a clear behavioral disclaimer:
  • Don’t copy the reckless speed/challenge conduct
