Market Structure and Trading Strategies

Previous high, short-term high, and eight thirty in the morning.

That starts the hunt, basically. That's what eight thirty in the morning

is to me.

So we're looking for an old high to be violated. It does so here. Then it breaks.

There's a break in market structure. Swing low.

This candle right here, that sets the stage.

Now you have a opportunity.

Does price draw back up into the fair value gap after this candle breaks

below here and giving you a bearish market structure shift?

Yes, it trades up into that fair value gap.

You can go short there.

And again, you could target this old low here or

that low that

was annotated before we zoomed in.

And look at the beautiful delivery there.

Hypothetical short from here and hypothetical cover here.

You would log that in your study journal.

Again, there's that fair value gap, and that's your candle that would be

considered as a ideal entry. And the discount old low as

a target right there. So your charts would look just like this.

In any open space like over here, you would just type in whatever

important factors that you found insightful about this

example.

How long did it take? Okay. How long did it take from

the market structure shift occurring?

How much time did it take to get up into the fair value gap? That's real important.

How long did it take before it went from your entry

down to your target in time? How much heat or

drawdown would you have

weathered getting short?
