COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT TRADING (1/2) – “IT’S EASY MONEY”
Many people coming into trading have a fundamental misconception about how successful (day) trading works

What many people The reality:

think about how
trading works:

• Superior analysis of the charts provides predictions about what the • Charts do not predict price, they only give an indication of liquidity
market does next distribution and potential setups with asymmetrical risk reward
• Good traders understand how the market works and are able to predict • Even good traders have no idea what the market does next, they just sit
upcoming moves and take advantage of that “all day long” around most of the time and wait for very specific setups they are
specialized on, potentially missing the largest moves
• Impressive market experts that are right most of the time about how the
market moves and trade the best and largest moves of the market • They are rather humble process addicts that follow a very strict plan
giving them a slight statistical edge
• They are amazing winners, that pull money of the markets with an
impressive hit rate • They are particularly good losers, that do not change their plan even
after a couple of losing trades

It is essential to be clear about, why the market might let you pull out money consistently:
- You will not find the secret sauce, that lets you sit there and make money all day
- You will not become a good trader, by being the cool guy that just kills it every day and has everything in control
- The reality is that you need to work exceptionally hard on yourself, to develop a humble, probabilistic and stable mindset
- Real edge comes from extreme accuracy, selectivity, patience and especially humility
- Are you ready for that?

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT TRADING (2/2) – “IT’S IMPOSSIBLE”
People outside of trading are mostly thinking it’s just gambling, since 95% of traders lose money. Why is it that hard?

The issue – We naturally do it wrong! The solution – Be aware that a trade is a bet!

• The market is one giant liquidity • Be aware of your inner lizard: We have to

human mind deeply to react to its self talk, meditation, having a plan…
manipulations as we would manage a different person!
We need to take sure it is not triggered
• We have a very ancient part of our

brain the “Lizard” brain that is

• We are naturally focused on the

much as possible… we try to control the outcome as we do in most other • Be disciplined: Have detailed rules for entry and managing your trades, stick to

• … this leads to our Lizard brain taking over in the heat of the moment, • Don’t be involved: Expect a random outcome! Do not try to be right, do not

• Overcome your fear: Do exactly the opposite what your lizard wants, scale into

traders losing money and never turning consistently profitable and setups to review after a series of trades

A checklist… key is to build a probabilistic mindset, that is obsessed with the trading process:
- Plan your trades thoroughly, work hard - Do not overthink, enter if confirmed - Expect a random outcome
- Do not predict, stay open and observe - Never chase a move - Do not try to be right
- Be aware that most moves are random - Never change a plan - Focus on execution, do not look at PnL
- Be very selective, let it come to you - Scale into winners bold - No emotions, stay calm and concentrated or stop
- Let you stop hit like a man, never lift it - Review statistically and have a diary

SB STYLE TRADING – WHAT IS IT?
Stacey Burke is a tenured senior trader that developed his own trading system based on a broad variety of influencers

Influencers Key elements of his trading system

• Toby Crabel: OR trading, Out of balance markets • Identifying trapped traders: FBs and 3 Day Cycle
• Schabacker, Robert D. Edwards and John Magee: Classical charting, chart • Break in structure reversals: FRW, FGW, FRD, FGD signals, 15m BIS, 1m BIS,
patterns, measured moves second mouse gets the cheese
• Peter Brandt: Classical charting, price is always in a box, measured • Consolidations for measured moves: IW, ID signals, coils, working low or high
moves, seek consolidations, asymmetrical risk reward
• 3 Pushes: Market manipulation to trick human behavior on any timeframe
• Steve Mauro: Beat the market maker trading style
• Where is the money: Identification of key liquidity zones as targets
• Mike Bellafiore: One good trade, The Playbook
• Other timeframe traders: The power of higher timeframes drives larger moves
• Mark Douglas: We don’t need to know what the market is doing next to
• Only two types of trades: Pump and Dump and Dump and Pumps, wait for the

• Bill Lipschutz “If most traders would learn to sit on their hands 50% of
• Setups: Only trade your setups, do not chase moves
the time, they would make a lot more money
• Asymmetrical risk reward: only hunt for 90:10 setups
• (not exhaustive)
• Out of balance markets: breakout, reverse or range mode?
• Nail and Bail: Don’t give anything back, lock in the money and go off the screen
• Mindset and discipline: Patience pays, have a process, meditate
• Outside: if you are not outside, you are inside, don’t get trapped

Stacey built a unique and very successful end to end trading system over the years, that provides a very strong edge:
- Understanding and following the market makers in their manipulations
- Waiting for retail traders to get trapped and punished
- Seeking for larger chart pattern that point to large scale parabolic measured moves
- …. a high probability, low screen time system

 SB STYLE TRADING – THE BASIC PATTERNS
Most SB Style setups come back to few basic patterns that repeat over and over again

Reversal setups Parabolic setups Momentum setups

• Most trade setups are either a pump and dump • Parabolic setups build liquidity by trapping • Momentum setups provide the opportunity
or a dump and pump traders on both sides over multiple days within to join a move that is already on its way,
a narrow range following a news catalyst or a setup from the
• The market traps traders on one side and moves
previous session
explosively to take out profitable traders on the • Typically leads to explosive measured moves
other side • Signals/ patterns: 3 push pullback against
• Signals/ patterns: ID, PFH/ PFL, 3 days into
trend after strong setups
• Signals/ patterns: FRD/FGD, 3DL, 3DS high/ low

The Pump and Dump The Short/ Long Squeeze The Low Hanging Fruit

6
SB STYLE TRADING – D1, D2, D3
”If you can count to 3 you can make a lot of money… day 1 , day2 , day3!”… what does that mean?

Rationale How to trade?

3 days of breakouts • 3 consecutive days levels broken out in one direction, • Expect pump and dump or dump and pump pattern
without taking previous lows…
(PnD, DnP) • Look for weakness/ BIS on all timeframes consecutively
• … indicating an out of balance market that builds
• FRX, FGX as additional confluence
liquidity of profitable traders stops on the other side

3 day cycle • Failed breakout of last days level at high or low of the • Expect a parabolic trend or reversal trade on day 3 after FB
week trapping traders in wrong direction
(Trapped traders) • Day 2 with trend trade opportunity after pulling back to BO level
• … indicating a recurring cycle of pulling away from them
• On day 1 potentially already a deathline setup
for a following parabolic reversal or continuation move

Weekly cycle • New volume impulse coming in Monday Day 1 • Expect a parabolic trend or reversal trade on D3 Wednesday and
Friday
• … starting cycle of D1 impulse, D2 trend, D3 parabolic

3 days coil • Building up liquidity in a narrow range, PFH/PFL, • Expect measured moves with range expansion targets
working high, low or contracting sideways
(Parabolic moves) • Be aware of fakeouts, with contracting of sideways coils
• … indication for a measured move once it breaks out of
• Inside day as signal for contracting coil
one side, squeezing the other
• Look for BIS and ascending triangle into major time rotations
• … often move initiated by a stop hunt or fake-out

You need to become a pattern recognition expert that waits patiently for the large parabolic trades to set up over multiple d ays:
- The patterns repeat over and over again, wait for them to appear, search across timeframes you will spot them
- Most setups are a combination of these 4 patterns, try to understand this, map it on your chart, look for confluences
Example 1: Dump and pump in a weekly template, with a FGD, FB at LOW Thursday, coiling over 3 sessions for a parabolic reversal
Example 2: Daily PFH, PFL, with following ID signal, 3 sessions of fall into Open, FB 1 st hour low with at EQO for measured move

Remark: This patterns appear on all timeframes, months, weeks, days, sessions, 15m, …7
SB STYLE TRADING – GENERIC WEEKLY TEMPLATE
The generic weekly template shows a higher timeframe 3 wave pattern following the market maker manipulation that
builds along the week – the higher timeframe bias and the signals help to identify the best setups along the cycle

 PRE-NOTE

Thank you for purchasing access to the premium channel and this document. This document provides a comprehensive breakdown of how I studied,
applied, and expanded upon Stacey Burke Style (SB Style) trading. It's a living resource that will be updated regularly.

What’s New in This Release:

I've now included links to my YouTube videos at relevant sections, turning this into a full trading course —complete with hours of detailed video
explanations.

SB Style Trading Section

Over the course of two years, I immersed myself in Stacey Burke’s material—studying hundreds of his videos and applying his playbook in live markets. I
organized everything into a structured, rules-based framework. This section presents SB Style trading as a standalone, complete system—closely aligned
with Stacey’s original teachings.

Multi-Timeframe Trading System & Add-Ons

In the second major section, I introduce how I evolved the core of SB Style using my own concepts —most importantly, a mechanical multi-timeframe
system that builds on Stacey’s principle of “only three things markets do”
This section breaks down:
- All MTF system elements and setups
- Detailed trade examples
- A guide on how to build your own trading system from this foundation

Enhancements & Tools

This is followed by my personal add-ons, including:
- The 5-Star Approach
- The Open Box Concept
- A brief intro to TPO (Market Profile)

You’ll also find:

- An overview of my offerings
- My custom-built indicator, TrendPredator, which automates all key MTF analysis and setup identification
- A collection of insightful quotes and templates in the appendix

I hope this document helps deepen your understanding of SB Style and gives you a solid foundation for your own trading develo pment.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via Discord—I’m always happy to help.

Cheers, and trade safe.

THE STACEY BURKE MASTER PATTERN

Inspired by Taylor’s 3-day cycle and Steve Mauro’s

“Beat the Market Maker”, Stacey Burke’s system sees
markets as cyclical, driven by market maker
manipulation.
• Liquidity Traps & Reversals – Markets trap traders
at extremes before reversing to fuel liquidity-
driven moves.
• Breakout & Expansion – Trapped liquidity often
triggers range expansions, as described by Tony
Crabel & Robert Schabacker.
• Fractal Market Structure – The cycle repeats
across multi-timeframes, with strongest setups
aligning across daily, H8/H4, and higher
timeframes.

TrendPredator automates this process, identifying key market cycles, liquidity

traps, and trend shifts in STRICTLY

a momentum shift, indicating a potential short setup.

TC888 PROFILE
Extensive background in the markets, fully dedicated to trading and a unique skill for structuring complex topics help
me to trade profitably and help others with their trading journey

Trading story
• I 've been trading and investing in the markets for over 20 years, and since 2020, I've been a full-time day trader.
• My foundational education came from a premium trading community, which is heavily focused on Bitcoin and uses tools like volume profiles, Fibonacci, order blocks, harmonics,
ranges, TPO charts, and real-time order flow. While there, I was fortunate to be mentored by a skilled trader who introduced me to the weekly template and market maker
manipulation concepts—ideas that immediately resonated with me and felt like the key to unlocking a deeper edge in the markets.
• That curiosity eventually led me to Stacey Burke on YouTube. I was instantly hooked. I left the previous community and fully immersed myself in SB's style—watching his videos
daily, purchasing his playbook, and trading the approach relentlessly. Over time, I dissected the core of his system and made it my own. As a former management consultant,
breaking down complex systems and distilling their essence has always been my strength.
• After months of structured analysis and hands-on application, I built on SB’s foundation and developed a more refined, personalized system. The key addition I made was a multi-
timeframe framework, which builds on Stacey’s principle that markets only do three things—but applies it earlier and more systematically. This significantly boosted the
consistency and mechanical nature of my trading.
• Since 2023, I've grown a small circle of serious traders with whom I share insights daily. I’ve created my own playbook and selectively coach other traders—always keeping my
own trading as the top priority, as it's my main source of income.

Personal background
• I hold degrees in engineering and business administration and was previously a partner at a global management consultancy.
• Extreme sports have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been a professional snowboarder, surfed waves around the world, a nd mountain biked just about
every trail in the Alps. I also run a small children’s snowboard brand on the side, featuring a board I designed myself.
• I’m a father of three and fully dedicated to my family. Trading gives me the freedom to be present—when my kids come home, I shut everything down. No work,
no screens—just family time.

QUOTES – THE PLAYBOOK

What are the habits of successful traders?

1. Successful traders have meaningful attachments or some other source of motivation and happiness outside of
the financial markets.
2. Successful traders are proactive; they know what they need to learn, and they know what they need to do to
execute. Being active alone is not sufficient.
3. Successful traders tend to be process driven; they develop and refine routines that turn good trading behaviors
into habits and execute these routines habitually.
4. Successful traders have a unique signature; they have an edge that they execute consistently and improve
constantly.
5. Successful traders treat every trade as a learning opportunity, especially losing trades.
6. Successful traders identify their A+ setups, best products, and optimal time frames that are most intuitive for
them and work to maximize their production in those ideas.
7. Successful traders avoid thinking in dollar terms; they standardize in terms of percentages to measure
performance as well as put on risk.
8. Successful traders have a sniper mentality; they are prepared to wait for as long as it takes and ready to pull the
trigger when a valuable targets appear in their scope.
9. Successful traders have a comprehensive set of measurable and challenging yet realistic goals; they regularly
evaluate their progress and always ask what they need to do to make further progress toward their goals.
10. Successful traders use all their resources to improve, particularly other traders.
