1) Map Liquidity

• External Liquidity Prior day/week highs and lows, session opens, round numbers (00/50).
• Internal Liquidity Equal highs/lows, small consolidations, wicks.
• Note the draw on liquidity (where price is likely to hunt next).

2) Market Structure Shift (MSS)

1. Identify the current swing structure on M15/H1.
2. Look for a break in structure (BOS) with a strong body close.
3. Confirm with displacement (range expansion vs prior bars).

Bias turns only after BOS + displacement.

3) Fair Value Gap (FVG) Entries

1. After displacement, mark the 3-candle FVG.
2. Place a limit near the 50–66% FVG retrace in direction of the new trend.
3. Invalidation: close through the other side of the FVG.

4) Order Blocks & Invalidations

Use the last opposing candle before displacement as the order block (OB).

• Refine OB on a lower timeframe but keep HTF direction.
• Stop goes beyond OB wick. If price closes beyond, idea is wrong.

5) Risk, Sizing, and Targets

• Risk 0.25–0.75% per trade. Size from stop distance.
• TP1 at equal highs/lows or session high/low; TP2 at external liquidity.
• After TP1, trail with ATR(3) or last swing.

6) Session Checklist

• Mark HTF liquidity and bias.
• Wait for BOS + displacement.
• Set FVG/OB levels and pre-place orders.
• Manage with partials and strict invalidations.
