Overview

This video presents a multi-timeframe trading framework (in a Forex context) designed to build a structured process from higher-timeframe bias to lower-timeframe entries. It emphasizes a “probe and follow” order-flow approach and discourages trades that go against range behavior (i.e., avoiding entries that effectively “buy high / sell low” into rejection zones).

Instruments / Assets Mentioned

  • EUR/USD (primary example)
  • Forex (general)

No equities, ETFs, bonds, commodities, or crypto tickers were mentioned.

Multi-Timeframe Framework (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Identify what type of trader you are

  • Choose the timeframe/candle you trade (examples: weekly, monthly, daily, 4-hour).
  • Presenter’s preference: focus on weekly range / weekly candle, aiming for high-probability days of the week to capture the weekly move.
  • Rationale: align lower-timeframe execution with the higher-timeframe’s easy/expansive trend, and avoid trading chop/ranges when direction is unclear.

Step 2: Determine directional bias using market profiles (top-down)

  • Use market profiles on higher timeframes to infer likely direction.
  • Example (EUR/USD):
    • Monthly bullish
    • Weekly bearish (rejecting highs, breaking lows)
    • Daily bearish (holding bearish key levels)
  • Bias interpretation: if weekly + daily are bearish while monthly is bullish, expect short-term bearish movement (looking for sells) until a monthly level/condition for reversal is reached.

Step 3: Apply order-flow rules to decide when/how to trade the bias

  • “Probe and follow” until proven wrong
    • If bearish: look for stop runs inside bearish high-timeframe key levels.
    • If the first bearish attempt “fails,” update the view:
      • daily may turn short-term bullish
      • then weekly can become bearish again later
    • The trade is taken “on the flip side” when the order flow changes.
  • Avoid “sell low / buy high”
    • If price rejects a low, it tends to seek liquidity above, often creating ranges/retracements—so don’t chase continuous selling into lows.
    • If price rejects a high, similarly avoid buying above in a way that ignores range/liquidity dynamics.

Step 4: Convert higher-timeframe bias into an entry plan for a specific candle

  • Mark the candle you’re trading (example: Monday to Monday for a weekly candle).
  • Identify where the higher-timeframe candle’s manipulation/wick is likely:
    • Manipulation is expected to occur inside high-timeframe key levels (e.g., a “weekly order block”).
  • Drill down by timeframe:
    • Daily: identify key weekdays that tend to produce the range/entry behavior
      • example mentioned: Monday as “stay out,” Tuesday/Wed/Thu as potential entry days
    • Hourly: refine timing for liquidity sweeps/manipulation and subsequent expansion.

Step 5: Day-of-week targeting

  • Don’t assume every day has the same trade quality.
  • The goal is to find the highest probability weekdays that produce:
    • the wick first, then
    • the expansion through the body
  • The approach aims to avoid the “beginning and end” of the move, using the idea that wick forms before body.

Step 6: Tactical entry model (optional)

  • Mentions potential entry concepts such as:
    • “soup” / “soup confirmation”
    • OTE (e.g., referencing that “there’s an OTE here…”)
  • The presenter states the exact entry method depends on the trader’s preference.

Explicit Recommendations / Cautions

  • Trade in the direction implied by higher timeframes
    • Framed as “catch the easy trends” and avoid consolidations where losses tend to accumulate.
  • Don’t force trades every day
    • Only trade on high-probability days that align with the higher-timeframe manipulation/wick and expansion pattern.
  • Avoid simplistic “turtle soup” interpretation
    • The presenter claims many misuse it by trading purely because a low/high is visible.
    • The setup must be understood through its underlying logic/characteristics that make it probable.

Key Numbers / Timelines Mentioned

  • Candle structure example: Monday to Monday (weekly candle framing)
  • Intraday timing references:
    • 8:00 (not holding; Asia session pushes through)
    • 8:30 (news referenced as also on Thursday)
    • 9:00 a.m. on Nasdaq (used as an example execution-time reference)
  • Repeated execution selection by days of the week:
    • Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
