{quote} i watched the last video 3 times. many times stop and replay to hear what he was saying. 10 hours spent but worth it. it's a breakthrough. i may be doing it one more time.
to me after watching all this videos i got more confused maybe mapping on live market will clear the doubts or maybe not every situation is a setup as he also mentioned, i see fxspider has the same haha

everyone should do a htf mapping for direction and post.
h4 is the lowest time frame to use. or have a w1 d1 h4 combo.
we should not differ too much from each other for higher time frame.

please do not post lower time frames than h4.
i am not interested with only showing ltf charts.
each can then apply their own ltf entries.
our entry time frames h1 to m1 will differ from each other but not higher time frames direction.
because each will have their own preference time frames for entry.

get the direction right first.
only till then you post with the ltf with reference to the htf charts.
it will be fun to watch how much traders will differ from each other.

if trading intraday, concentrate on current market price, the vicinity around it.
there were no d1 eg for the past 9 days.
so find h4 eg around cmp.
normally 2 will do. one above. one below cmp.
at times needing 1 or 2 more.
there is one w1 ef buy, but a big zone, so not showing.

you can see the 2 opposing h4 engulf zones which will be difficult to trade.
if i want A+ set up, i would not be interested there.
imagine with additional ltf egulfs, it will be a mess.

Thanks for the explanation.
Some how I am looking to include the main concept of this idea with my normal trading so far in order to increase the odds and the ratio per trade.

if i understand correctly, you are a swing trader.
for intraday traders only the circled area would be relevant for today.
what would your ltf look like?
