Chapter 1: The Basics
Chapter 1
The Basics
1.1 Expansion And Retracement
Expansion : occurs when there is
an impulse movement towards a
direction.
Retracement : is the correction
movement after an impulse
movement.
3 Market Structure and Killer Setup
LEARN HOW TO FIND A 100x SETUP
1.2 Fibbonacci Retracement
used to determine the end of the retraction movement, usually the price
retracts to 50% or until ote (0.62, 0.705, 0.79) before another impulse
movement occurs.
1.3 BMS - Break In Market Structure
BMS occurs when the price closes above / below a swing high/low, generally,
every trader should trade in the direction of the Higher Time Frame BMS.
NOTES: after BMS always wait for retracement.
4 Market Structure and Killer Setup
LEARN HOW TO FIND A 100x SETUP
1.4 Range High and Range Low
After the BMS there will always be the formation of a new consolidation, that is
called RH and RL.
NOTES:
▪ Trade in the direction of the BMS
▪ After BMS Wait for retracement to 50% OR OTE of Fibonacci levels.

1.5 Failure Swing (SMS)
When there is an uptrend market and the price fails to break the last top
(Swing High) and breaks the previous bottom (Swing Low), an SMS is
considered to have occurred (vice versa for Bearish).

Chapter 2
Market Structure
The price can simply be found in one of the 3 phases below:
1. In a CONSOLIDATION
2. In an UPTREND
3. In a DOWNTREND
2.1 Market Structure In Bullish Conditions
[VICE VERSA FOR BEARISH CONDITION]
The bullish market is characterized by making Higher Highs and Higher Lows,
but this characterization is not enough, it is necessary to say that bullish
markets are always breaking swing Highs and respecting swing lows.
The fact that the price has broken a swing high, indicates that higher prices
should be expected, so it is negotiated in the trend in which the market
structure was broken.

Chapter 3: Liquidity
Chapter 3
Liquidity
The FOREX market is a zero sum game, which means that for a
trader/institution to buy/sell 1 currency pair it's necessary that there is
another trader/institution with an opposite position.
If Smart Money (Banks) want to buy a currency pair they will need sellers in
the market, the existing facility to place these positions In the market is
called LIQUIDITY.
The Liquidity is defined by Stop losses, where the Stop losses exist is where the
liquidity also exists, Smart Money need to activate the stop losses of existing
orders in the market so that they can place their positions in the market.

3.1. Liquidity Types
In the FOREX market there are two types of liquidity, which are:
1. Buy Stops Liquidity (BSL)
2. Sell Stops Liquidity (SSL)
3.2 Buy Stops Liquidity (BSL)
The BSL is originated by Stop Losses of sell orders, after the BSL is taken, the
market reverses to the downside, because banks use the BSL to place sell
orders in the market.
3.3. What to focus on (for BSL)
PMH - Previous Month High
PWH - Previous Week High
PDH - Previous Day High
HOD - High Of Day
OLD HIGH - Swing High

3.4. Sell Stops Liquidity (SSL)
The SSL is originated by Stop Losses of Buy orders, after the SSL is taken, the
market reverses to the Upside, because banks use the SSL to place Buy
orders in the market.
3.5. What to focus on (for SSL)
PML - Previous Month Low
PWL - Previous Week Low
PDL - Previous Day Low
LOD - Low Of Day
OLD LOW - Swing Low

3.6 Stop Hunt: Manipulation For Liquidity
SH is a movement used to neutralize liquidity (stop losses). It's a false
breakout above / below the zone where there is LIQUIDITY. The market
markers (banks) usually use high impact news to take liquidity.

The High Impact News Events are used to hunt liquidity in the market, always
pay attention to the news calendar, to know the pairs that will move,

violated ("if they are really OB's")

2. London Session
3. New York Session
5.2 Asian Session
The Asian session is characterized by being a consolidation (of 20 - 40 pips),
due to the lack of liquidity in the market.

Day, it can be used to take traders to the opposite side of the true direction
of the day (Because Of Liquidity).
Delimitation:
Not the whole London session need attention, focus on the first 2-3 Hours at

5.4 Accumulation, Manipulation And Distribution [AMD]
Accumulation: The accumulation of positions generally occurs during the
Asian session, the accumulation is characterized by being a consolidation
(Asian session), but it may not be the Asian session.
Manipulation: usually occurs at the opening of the London session
(sometimes it can be NY open), this Manipulation consists of taking the price
to the opposite side of the true direction of the rest of the day.
Distribution: occurs when MMs liquidate (Exit) their positions.

Turtle Soup
Turtle Soup is the same as Stop Hunt, is a movement used to neutralize
liquidity (stop losses). It's a false breakout above / below the zone where
there is liquidity.
Turtle Soup Short [TSS]
Represent a short setup, it's a false break above a zone where Buy Stops
Liquidity Exist.
Turtle Soup Long [TSL]
Represent a long setup, it's a false break Below a zone where Sell Stops
Liquidity Exist.
The price usually Sweeps 5-20 pips (even more) above or below a point
where liquidity Exist, after the price sweep the point, enter a trade against the
movement used to Sweep Stops (Liquidity) with Minimum 10 pips SL (In Lower
Time Frames).
That means:
BSL Raid => Turtle Soup Short
SSL Raid => Turtle Soup Long

7.1 Confluence
Confluence is very important to increase the chances of winning trades, a
trader needs to have at least two factors of confluence to open a trade.
When the confluence exists, the trader becomes more confident on his
negotiations.
The Factors Of Confluence Are:
▪ Higher Time Frame Analysis;
▪ Trade during London Open;
▪ Trade during New York Open;
▪ Refine Higher Time Frame key levels in Lower Time Frame entries;
▪ Combine setups;
▪ Trade during High Impact News Events.
