Market Structure


  • Frame your trades on at least 3 time frames.
  • Know the time frame that you are trading
Position Trades: Monthly, weekly, & daily time frames.Swing Trades: Daily, 4 hour, & 1 hour time frames.Short Term Trades: 4 hour, 1 hour, & 15 minute time frames.Day Trades & Scalps: 1 hour, 15 minute, & 5 minute time frames.
  • Your main focus should be on the highest of the 3 time frames that you are trading.
  • The shortest time frame will be used to enter and signal potential reversal clues.
  • The highest probability trades are made in the higher time frame direction.
  • For example, on swing trades, you should trade in the direction of market structure on the daily chart.
  • All trades are framed over key S/R levels.
  • Market profiles will assist in market structure analysis concepts.
  • Support & resistance trumps everything.
  • After bouncing off support or resistance, once market structure breaks on the highest time frame of your trading style, you can reasonable expect an OTE to form.


  • Look for the bias that you are holding to line up with price action. You cannot force price action. There will not be a trade every day with your bias, which is why you have to wait for price action to line up with it.
