- 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.
