    Study Notes

    Double Tops and Bottoms

    • Double top sweeps occur when price moves above two equal highs, then experiences rejection and trades lower to a previous low.
    • Double bottom sweeps occur when price trades below two equal lows, followed by rejection and a rally to a previous high.
    • These price patterns are common across all timeframes and offer opportunities for entry.

    Liquidity Pools

    • These are large quantities of orders clustered above and below previous highs and lows, effectively acting as supply and demand zones.
    • Institutions are aware of these pools and manipulate price to attract and collect orders, resulting in favorable positions for themselves.
    • Recognizing and entering trades based on these pools can be advantageous.

    Practical Example: Double Top Sweeps with Fibonnacci

    • Identify double highs on the chart.
    • Confirm that price has swept above the highs.
    • Wait for retracement and place a limit order at the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) level.
    • Practice these concepts on a demo account to develop confidence and familiarity with the strategy.

    Power of Three

    • This tool helps anticipate market direction for the rest of the day, focusing on the concepts of distribution, manipulation, and accumulation.

    Bullish Day (Power of Three)

    • Distribution: Market opens bearish, collecting orders from a previous high as it seeks liquidity below previous lows.
    • Manipulation: Market makers run stops after collecting orders, leading retail traders to believe in a bearish trend.
    • Accumulation: Market reverses, showing bullish behavior as market makers accumulate new buy orders.

    Bearish Day (Power of Three)

    • Accumulation: Market opens bullish, attracting orders from a previous high.
    • Manipulation: Market makers manipulate price, leading retail traders to believe in a bullish trend.
    • Distribution: Market makers start selling, resulting in a bearish trend for the rest of the day.

    Liquidity Voids

    • These are gaps in the market, often created by price swings or weekends.
    • The market aims to fill these voids, seeking to close the gaps and create liquidity.
    • These gaps present opportunities to anticipate market direction and entry points based on price action and the concept of range fulfillment.

    Order Blocks

    • These are levels where significant buy or sell orders are clustered.
    • Once a liquidity void is filled, "Range Fulfilled," it's an opportunity to accumulate new long positions.
    • This coincides with retracements and Optimal Trade Entry points.
    • Combining order blocks with retracement analysis allows for more precise entry points.

    1-Year Trading Plan (Example)

    • Set a realistic plan with a goal of growing $100 to $100,000 in one year.
    • Start with 20 days of trading per month to gain experience.
    • Consistent practice is crucial for success in forex trading.
    • Keep a trading journal and note key setups to understand the market better and improve your strategy.
