Understanding Trading Targets and Timeframes

We are going to be going through a little bit of recap of the time frames here. So right now we are looking at targets and mirrors in this lesson. So number two, we're diving down into number two, but a quick recap on the master, which is number one, and then going one through five, going one through five, the master allows you to see the controller, which is great, because then that allows you to understand what's controlling your targets. And What traits to take in the moment, because if you understand the controller of the traits, then you can understand exactly where everything is going, right? You can understand which timeframe to use. You can understand where a range is going to break into the next, et cetera. So very, very simply, recap on the master is that you have a master up top, master below. The great thing about master timeframes here, and we can see it as a daily on both, is it sets the parameter for the entirety of everything. So the next piece of everything you're looking at will be targets and mirrors. And that's really what we're going to talk about today. And then just. a quick note you can see that there's two masters here as well which might even actually be controllers as we go through the process you see you have a four hour here a four hour here you have a larger hourly here and it's working outside of the parameter with this four hour and this daily not important for right now but these would be controllers and uh this would be also the master of this local piece right so you've got like a master controller And then here's a controller on this side, and you'd likely have an hourly master, which I haven't actually looked for, but you'd likely have an hourly master, something like this to this, right? So almost the exact same thing as you're seeing on both sides. The hourly being the master, which is a little counterintuitive because it's the higher level, but not really important for this piece right now. As we're not talking about controllers in this lesson, we're simply going into the number two, which is the targets and the mirrors. So when do we use a target? when do we use a mirror? It's like, what do you use as something to enter a trade, which is a part of understanding here's the master next what's happening. So are you, are you entering a target or are you entering a mirror? And the first way we'll start that is by defining the difference between a target and a mirror. So I'm just going to go here, cut the replay tool off here. Um, yeah, that looks good. So a target would be. something where you hit a time frame on the top side and you have a target on the bottom side that you hit. So when you're hitting targets to targets like this, when you're going from one target to the next target, you have not entered your Pandora's box yet. You have to create a mirror somewhere to create that. And this is the difference between entering trades, say, on hold levels or based on... And this actually wasn't even a level yet because technically we should draw this out here. Technically, it would have been like this. right like this would have been your um target and actually come on there we go we need to actually find the daily as well so like is this a daily it is not so this is actually the daily right here you actually have a daily like this right so you can see that by having the proper level here like this if we were to go back into a smaller time frame you can see the difference here between what's a target to a target allowing you to understand should you enter a level Or should you be entering other information such as ladder points? Because that's going to be a big one for this. Ladder points is going to be huge, right? So in this, we have your target up top or your master time frame is looking for its target below. So this is always going to say, are we going from daily to daily? And if we are indeed going from daily to daily, we're now creating a Pandora's box. And that Pandora's box is the compression of time frame. So that's when you have something where you have daily. daily. Then you go four hour to four hour. Then you go hourly to hourly. And all of a sudden, if this hourly doesn't hold, it's like, oh, you just went and hit your hourly and you targeted this four hour. So it's telling you that your four hour is failing because it's plus one minus one. It's saying I have a four hour level. I need to hit my equalized four hour target. I cannot hit my equalized four hour target. My target is actually failing or my Pandora's box is failing. Right. And so you're going to hit your your hourly and you're going to break down the move. So. targets always look for targets and that's part of masters like a master time frame here daily to daily is going to look for its daily to daily target which you can see it hits here it goes here it hits here who knows what's next and then what happens is when you start to plus one minus one this like i'm not sure exactly where this is going to go but uh you know you can look for polarity in this trade right here where it had to hold and then maybe it needed to have polarity there and then looking like it needs to hold something like this up or even something like this. So I'm sure you could go into smaller timeframes here and see where you try to hold that move, that four-hour timeframe. Can't hold it. There's, where did that polarity go? I think we took it off. There is the level below it, which is polarity right here, polarity in the trade and the hold level, right? So like, obviously once you fail this four hour level, that's just the same thing. It's like the daily is hitting the four, the four can't hold it. It's going to break down, right? Because it would have to go four to four here and so forth and so forth and so forth, because it has completed its daily to daily right there. So then it makes a new target. And this is where you really get the understanding of, and we can simply just delete this now. It's no longer usable. You can see it held here as a daily, try to hold here. Try to hold here. No longer usable. And this is where it's interesting because this is where you redefine the parameters of any trade. So this is going to be the difference between buying hold levels versus buying ladder points, for example. If you have not reached your target yet, you will go for ladder points in a trade. If you have reached your target, you've created a Pandora's box and you will now go for hold levels. So what I would like to do is I'd simply start to like, I would simply like to start marking. four hour levels there's looks like what would be polarity here not interested in this level looks like something in and around here uh looks like a reverse levels hit not interested in that um actually this might be a good four hour level to use as well because there's a four hour level polarity protecting a four hour level here so now that you've established daily to daily it really becomes a battle between four hour levels and if it does indeed become a battle between those four hour levels um you you can in confidence say we are now in a pandora's box and that's where you start looking for that that degradation of levels right so then you could just you know mark all these four hour levels hit play a little bit and see exactly what it's going to do so it does have trouble getting over this four hour level that's fine so you can see the four hour level here if this was to continue to hold it down this daily would break right but it doesn't you see how it tries to hold it down goes and hits the daily it's now surpassing this four hour level and going to this four hour level so this is the point is that the daily you're trying to create a pandora's box here So in order to create a Pandora's box, you've got your four hour targets on the bottom side like this. They need to hold and you need to target something on the top. And this is this is when you enter a Pandora's box. So in your cycle, you can see there is the next four hour level. And then even something like this backside four hour level like this must hold. Right. And then it would lead you to a reverse right here. But, you know, we can kind of continue the trail here and just adapting our our trades until we get to where we wanted to go. Actually, just go back to this. You're back to that four hour level. So great. You're back to that four hour level. You have your next one. right here you have your next one right here and so forth so let's just continue this trade back to the daily again ah it actually hits an even lower daily but you see how it was having trouble gaining the four hour levels this is telling you hey my target hasn't been reached yet right so this is the inability to create a pandora's box and then goes and creates another daily level off of whatever this hourly was um so then again you're you're now looking and back in that cycle of trying to find four hour levels that are going to hold this move up right because you just really need to plus one minus when you see it here four hour level gets hit and held and we can pause this for a second you see it there you see the uh polarity here or even right here i can't tell if that's hardcore it doesn't look like it doesn't look like anything there looks like it's actually right here so this is the four hour polarity right and then you're gonna have this because the four hour polarity is equal to a daily right so you've got something like this so once you break over one of these polarized points like this like you've got a daily target that's now hit you've got four hour levels that are trying to hold up the move i'm assuming it's this backside four hour level here backside four hour level here trying to hold up the move maybe i'll even get to the front side i'm not sure but the point being is that you're not in a situation where you're saying you're in a pandora's box you need to start gaining some type of level to be in that right and so you're going to go here and that's where it happens and that's where you can say hey i've now entered a pandora's box i've broken over the level whether it's polarity daily so you're daily regaining a daily here saying that now you have four hour trails. So then you might be something like this here or even this year. It doesn't really matter where your whole level is here. What matters is you hit this four hour level, bang, you go up, you hit this four hour level, bang, you go up, you hit this four hour. You're now in a Pandora's box, right? You're daily to daily looking for the battle of four hour levels. And this is where it gets interesting because once you have said that, yes, I'm in a Pandora's box, I have on this side. use the four-hour level. And on this side, I'm using four-hour levels. Then what happens is you are now trying to buy hold level. You're trying to buy plus one, minus one hold levels. And if you haven't found your target yet, you are simply buying lateral. So we can go through that a little bit too here. Let's take that out. Let's go up here. And again, you have a four-hour level here that's hit. This is now a daily. You have a four-hour level hit here that's never hit. You also probably have four-hour backside here that was hit, right? So that's that's that's the key right there is that you have a four hour level here you know you can uh use these or not you know i'm just gonna take some of these out here just to clean up my charts just for this example uh do i care about an hourly hold level you know let's just hit play here just get current yeah okay so we don't care about this hourly break that's fine we actually use this four hour level here and we're using this four hour or daily level here either one but uh in any case you still hit this four hour level um you know you could be here you could also have like a break level here you could have a reverse here um which leads you to some looks like some backside moment in here where it just tried to play with the range and that's fine and then this is where you would be buying four hour to four hour levels because you are now in a pandora's box from here to here You've got a four-hour trend. You've got a four-hour trend. There is going to be, you've got a one-hour legacy. And now I don't want to get into this because this is going more into the range trend, which is four. Right now we're focusing on the two and some parts of the three. We're not going to get into why we're using a lower timeframe here, but we have, I would just say a trend is a level and this is a legacy level in regards to this range that starts from here to here. It's the highest trend that can be created because at the end of the day, you can simply um hit this trend over and over and over and eventually it may turn into a four hour or a daily like even right now uh it actually looks like it's a four hour it actually is so even that you know this is a trend i marked before you know when it was just first forming and it's actually a four hour right now and so you have like a global and a local four hour and you know you can even delete this four hour here but because it's it's just it's just going and pandora's boxing between four hour levels so you you can even just look for hourly levels right now on both sides of the chart and say, which hourly is holding this trade? Because now it's going to go through a queue because that's where you can say, is this a Pandora's box? Yes or no. And the criteria to say yes to that is, was there a daily target? Has a target been on both sides? So the master is the target. So you do have a daily on the top and the bottom, and now you're in a range where you're going after four hour to four hour, right? So that's your criteria right there. So then you can just simply start even working from the previous range and marking four hour levels like here's a or sorry not four hour hourly levels like here's an hourly level right it was the uh furthest one back it hasn't been hard closed and it's continuing to hold the move so you've got that side there and then you've got the hourly here on this side like has this been hit backside was hit yeah backside was hit um this hourly wasn't hit you'd really be expecting something in this area to be pulling it back does it meet the criteria of yes it's been hit technically yes but it's also been hard close so has this been hit yes or no no so now we would look at and this too has this been hit no so this this does look like failure inside of this range because we don't have the plus one minus one being hit and that plus one minus one is not always important the plus one minus one is important here because we have entered the queue of the pandora's box right like in a pandora's box scenario when you have dailies are hit and targets are hit on both sides then you have four hours it's already compressing the charts so we have two things we need to do Number one, we have to see if there's still four hour levels being hit beyond our trends. So is there one on this side? Yes. Is there one on this side? Yes, but we're still hitting a four hour here. So we are actually cycling this move down and compressing against this move. So what we would look for in this scenario is we would look for an hourly level to break this down. It tried right here. You can see it tried right here. It wasn't able to break the move down. It then hit the four hour. doesn't go after the one. This one hour backside is hard closed right there, doesn't go after the one. So instead we have a four hour level compressing against a one hour level or a four. So right now what we would look for is we would look for the continued degradation of this trade. This one hour wasn't hit and it's still falling down. You're now down into this. So if stuff like this is stopping the trade, you know the trade is dead and it's breaking down. So this is the magic of a Pandora's box when you understand masters is that when you can't have a master, hit its target which is the opposite on the other side so we have the daily hit the daily and then we created ranges where four hours were dictating you are compressing and this just compresses this range just just so we're clear so like if you're if you're daily to daily or even greater daily to daily this is just this range that's controlling right so you could easily drop down to this range hit this four hour come back and hit another four hour up there so right now it kind of looks like we're going down to the 63k mark We haven't done all of our work that we need to do on this chart. But what we can say is that master is confirmed. Check. Yes. Target is complete. Are we in a target or are we in a mirror? Target was hit. Is it a mirror? So that's kind of the cue that you go through. Has the target been hit? If yes, is it a mirror? Now, if your target hasn't been hit, that's where you're going to look for ladder points. And we'll talk about it after. If your targets have been hit and you are creating mirrors, which we are in this case. then you can say you're in a Pandora's box. So it's almost like, oopsies, we gotta erase that back. It's almost like you have to go, one, which part of two is true? Is the first half of two true or is both halves of two true? does that allow you to see three, which is Pandora's box? So if master is true, target is true, mirror is not true, you delete three. You don't have a number three. This actually number three goes away, right? So like if it looks like this, your number three is your range trend, okay? And we'll talk about that in the next lesson. Your number three is your range trend. If you do have a mirror, your number three is your Pandora's box, which is a very cool thing to be able to see. So now because we do have a target and we are in a mirroring situation where it's four hour going to four hour, our global target was hit. Our larger targets were hit. Right. Our daily, our daily. Now we are entering mirrors. So you have a four hour, four hour. Now you're in a Pandora's box. Now you need to see which side of that Pandora's box is going to break. We looked at the one hour queue. It's not quite there. Is it even lower? Did we have a 15 minute queue break this trade? Oh, let's take a look. 15 hit here. This could be your hourly rate here. uh so your hourly was actually hit here so um you have an hourly that was hit and that's the thing about understanding um your your origin levels is that your hourly was hit you have a 15 minute origin it was hit perfectly so now your next part piece to take this trade down would be here like this this would be the this would be the component that breaks it down so your hourly is actually your four hour had hit your hourly is compressing it so if you were to take a trade and you shorted this hourly you would not be exiting the four hour trend So that would be the idea behind this trade. So you've got a hourly level here because it's a 15 minute origin. That's fine. You would now be saying, okay, this four is supposed to target this four. It doesn't happen. Do we have any other fours? Well, we do. We have one. So it's not confirmed that we're breaking down, but like, look, you deep dove the four hour to find the 15 minute, which is your hourly target. And the hourly is what would break it down. So it should be no shock that we are now back down face to an hourly, which would be the mirror to that hourly, right? So you go hourly to hourly. So. but also in the moment trying to break this simply because the four hours couldn't be hit. Now, again, this four hour was hit. So there's a little bit of a quandrum here. Like you've got a four hour, four hour, hourly, hourly. So now we have to continue looking down in time frame. So you'd almost want to say like you have to hold this level or you have to build this level. You can't really hold this because you've actually targeted a deeper level. You actually have to create an hourly level here and you have to hold this. So you have 31 more minutes. So your conclusion, when you wrap it all down, your conclusion should be, am I able to start holding this hourly, developing this hourly and start building timeframes underneath? Well, you can start checking. You don't have a 15 minutes. You have a five. So this has to hold, right? Which it's given you entry on it. You have a three, which as if your five doesn't start holding, I'd be concerned about the three. I would want my highest timeframe available to hold here. You have a three and then you have a one combo right on the trend. I'm not even going to add that. I would want my highest timeframe to hold here because in order to gain the 15 or the hourly, it's going to have to be a bunch of five minutes at hold. So whatever your biggest timeframe was, and then you, you, you reverse that back to the moment of, right? So, you know, this can be an hourly. Is that true? Yes. So now if that can be an hourly and that's true, yes. What you're going to do, you're going to go here. And you're going to say, okay, that can be an hourly. Let's start seeing where the lowest timeframes can hold, because this is how we would do it. IRL in real life in the moment, I have an hourly. I know that has to gain. And if it's not an hourly, it's also a 15. So it's whether it be a 15 minute level there or whether it be an hourly, that's fine. It's all the same. So in real life, the practical notion of this is you have one minute levels that have to start holding. So fine. You go below your trend. you hit your hourly target, you make a one minute level. This might be a good re-entry. And then you would have to say like, okay, well, look, you have also a three minute level that can develop there and a five minute level that can develop there. So you're looking for a rebuy somewhere in here. You're looking for a rebuy on one of these three levels. You simply haven't had the chance to do it. But as time goes on, if you were here in the moment, you would try to gain this level and set a rebuy on it. So your rebuy would have actually been right here in this moment. Understanding that this could turn into a three, this is the one minute rebuy, that's the five. You have to do your best to get in the trade. And so you'd be in the trade here, right? Because you're saying like, look, if the hourly is going to hit and hold and the four hour is there, and we are going to go into a mirroring scenario, this is what has to happen. If you hadn't entered the trade yet and you're sitting here saying, okay, the three minutes above the gain, the best case scenario you could hope for is entering here. If the five minute gains, the best case scenario you can hope for is entering here. Five minute hits, the best case scenario you can hope for is entering here. It doesn't actually go. go and test back that five best case scenario you can enter here. And this is if the move is in succession. So let's be clear about that. This is if the move is in succession, this is your best case scenario. And then right now it's trying to do the same thing. It's trying to use a one minute level to hold it up and move up. So it's just trying to gain the hourly. The problem with this right now is you still have 29 minutes. Can you make this a 15? You can, you can gain this as a 15 here. So that would be okay. It's hit this 15 because that's all it is right now. And this is this is the constant moving up. of that timeframe, right? So like, if this is in succession, which I say, I don't think it is from earlier saying, I don't think it is because we've simply hit this target here, this four hours here, but then you don't really have this. This just looks like it's failing at a minimum. You would have wanted this to come up here and maybe test the local piece of this or something in here. Not, not, not to get front running to move down. I've said it from the beginning that I think this looks like it's failing. Um, and then for the simple fact that you were supposed to go from four hour to four hour. from hourly yeah you went to hourly here but there's a lot deeper levels like uh fine hourly to hourly make a stall here but if you were in this trade from here you wouldn't be exiting on this right here um this is just looking like it's gonna break down and again going back to the four hour levels like you have a four a four so that's fine this four and this four are connected here like this so this four not four this test of that four to this test of that four this test of this four to the test of an hourly. So you can already see where this move is starting to break down because that's what you get when you understand you have a master, you have a target and also a mirror that gives you your Pandora's box. Your Pandora's box is simply a question of plus one, minus one. It becomes very simple. Pandora's box, boil it all down to plus one, minus one, whichever side is failing on plus one, minus one, that's a side that's holding the box. And that's a side that'll break next. It's like very simple. There's not much to do there. The only thing here. is if you don't have a pandora's box so your mirror is not there you're not going four to four you're not doing that you are now looking for ladder points instead of hold levels and an example of that would be i'm just going to take a four hour zoom down and just look at ladder points um maybe from a different range maybe we can go somewhere else in this and uh just look maybe like right here this looks fine i that doesn't really matter so if we were to look at this trade here Okay, so this was like one of the all-time highs and I'm sure this is going to be a weekly to a weekly. This was a four-hour level that got held. You know what? Let's do it. Let's go and let's take this right here like this and say, where are your targets here? Yeah, so like weekly target here, even though we don't use weekly, we can still use the whole level as an example. That's fine. Weekly target there. weekly target here if you haven't done this to this or this to this you haven't found your target yet which means you're using ladder points so technically you should be saying like you lose that weekly you should go here right you have a target much lower right here if you haven't found your target yet what you're going to do is you're just going to like buy somewhere around here so like you could even just say there's looks like without me changing time frames there's some type of origin here i'm just going to mark it as a four as a random guess and this is where you would use like a break level an origin a ladder point of some difference so if it hits this realize you have not found your target yet you are not able to enter a pandora's box right because this is what it should be i'm just going to hit play here let this thing and there it is like just just a random guess no no idea but this is telling you it hasn't found its target yet so therefore You can't go and say daily, but look for your daily up top. You are not in a scenario where you're looking for daily to daily or the four. You are in a scenario where you're saying your target has not been hit yet. Therefore, a Pandora's box cannot be created yet. The next thing you would do is you would try to get this level because if that's target, then fine, that's target. If not, you're going to have some other target in here. Notice how we don't go from. target here to target here we're not in a pandora's box we're not in that scenario you hit the weekly let's see weekly hits what happens next okay weekly to weekly now now if this holds now you can sit here and say okay and we can delete this is just a random guess it was a good guess um it's not really a guess it's kind of back-ended by right let's just watch this keep going target hasn't been hit yet so you know that if you're failing, these shouldn't be targets. And again, we're not using weeklies. This is rather to just demonstrate where you won't go up and where you will go up. So you've got weekly here to weekly here. So let's delete this. Oopsies. let's delete this okay dude yeah let's delete that let's take our replayer tool back to here and now when we say we have a weekly target to a weekly target we could start going and saying okay well where's our dailies okay so for example you have a daily here that was hit and held your next daily would be here that was hit and held right and this is this is continuing to hold and so this is where you're going to use that like whole levels plus one minus one on the whole level so like you've got that there okay so great you have the daily there it gets hit and held so let's think all things equal weekly to weekly good daily fine this should be next we'll use the backside we'll give this a little bit of grace so then this weekly should go down to this daily it's next this should hold and if it does it should go up to there it doesn't hold right because you're not you haven't found your target yet you're not entering a pandora's box yet right again we don't use weeklies so take this weekly to weekly with a grain of salt and the trail that we're creating It's probably more like daily to four to hourly, et cetera, which might change what we're looking at here a bit. But then at the same time, after you've hit this daily here, you've got a daily holding it down here. You've got the next daily holding it down here. You've got the next daily holding it down here. You've got the next daily holding it down here. Like your daily had already compressed anyway. So despite the fact that we're not using weeklies, it's still working perfectly fine because the theory is what makes sense, not the timeframe. The timeframe is irrelevant. So daily there, you hit daily to daily, all things equal, right? This daily is holding it down. Again, this daily holds it down. This daily holds it down. This daily breaks underneath what had to hold the move. I don't think there is really anything else. There's this one again that could hold. But again, you can see where plus one minus one is exactly what Pandora, like exactly what breaks the Pandora's box. And then you can just continue this and just keep going and just say like, delete that, delete this. It's not there yet. Hasn't hit its target. and then and then you're gonna see oh we're way back over here okay well we went we went really far i don't really think we need to uh go back this far we could just take that replayer tool off and that's where you see like if if that's where you use your ladder points so this example here picking that random example and finding that that four hour level here or or wherever it was that we found it i actually don't even remember don't even recall but finding that ladder point that we did that's where it made sense because when you haven't hit a target so if a pandora's box is not present. And this is another quick way to boil it down. If you're not in a Pandora's box, don't buy hold levels. Go and buy ladder points. Go and buy break levels. Go and buy origins. Go and pick. Here, look at something down here. Are you in a Pandora's box daily to daily? Yes. Can you play a hold level then? Yes. Because you have daily to daily. Now all of a sudden, you can use hold level. You can use a hold level. And look, daily to daily. you're in a Pandora's box, right? This is just targets mirroring each other, but masters until they find their target. So if you have a master, if it has found its target, you can now say, yes, you're in a mirror, play, hold levels, Pandora's box. So if, if mirror is true, play holds. So like this, play holds, right? If the mirror is not true, you go like this and you say, Oh, And we won't get into range trends today. We'll do that next lesson or in a few lessons once we're comfortable with this. Play ladders and breaks. Simple. It boils it down to what you should play based on what your master is telling you. So it very simply takes apart like half of the stuff you would ever end up doing because it just easily tells you when you're supposed to play hold levels and when you're supposed to play break levels or break levels or ladder points. Other forms of the deepest part of the chart, other forms of polarity, right? And then again, even right now, this looks like it's failing to me. This looks like it's failing. If it holds this for long enough, it's going to create the hourly hold level. You still have 20 more minutes. If it continues to hold this for long enough and you have an hourly to gain, then great. Then maybe you can move up again and then you can go retest that question of, hey, are we going to an hourly? Are we going to a 15 up top? But right now, what I can say in certainty is that you have a four hour. four hour four hour here goes to four hour there hourly holds it hits four hour concerning to me very concerning to me because if this is holding why couldn't it have held backside here or this here because if you take this replay tool back this is really what should have helped you hit your hourly you have an hourly there right so this should have been like the perfect long and it was There it is. There's the long hour to hour. All things are equal. What happens next? Let's see. You've got an hourly here. Is there any 15 minute levels that are holding this thing back? Well, let's check. Hourly, got a 15 here. See what gets hit. If it's a 15 that gets hit, then you're kind of cooked. Okay, it actually goes up. That's fine. But again, so fine, this isn't the hourly it holds. So let's go back and look for the next level. Hourly here, doesn't hit the hourly. Does it hit a 15 somewhere? No, it actually just misses its target. So you could almost even just say here. four hour, 15 hasn't found its hourly target yet. Therefore it will still move down, which is neat because if you haven't, which is, which is now saying this hourly has to find an hourly up top, right? Because look, this hourly here, it gets hit here. Fine. Then you have this hourly here. This should get hit here. When it doesn't, what is it telling you? It's telling you it hasn't found its target. So now you need to be either playing ladder points. So if you're going to play a ladder point, I don't know, play it right here. random guess looks like a ladder point i don't know all right pick up pick a ladder pick a ladder any ladder you know what i mean what is this 25 okay is there any like hourly ladder points it could be well i can see one already right here uh that's too low because you want to hit the break or the ladder point above the level so it can continue to ladder there we go look at that pick a ladder any ladder look where we are now you man is that close there might even be a five minute there i doubt it but and then and then and then so that's exactly it like hourly should now hit either hourly or 15 when it doesn't pick a ladder any ladder right like you enter that queue and look what you get and now is this going to hold and move up or not so this is the power of understanding where targets get hit and where let's back out and uh go into this a bit where do we have this here right here you So this is where you can say master target mirror mirror was yes, except let's bring this over here a little bit, zoom back in on timeframes and zoom in here. You have masters. Yes, we have masters. Do those masters have targets hit? Yes, they have targets. Is it mirroring? Well, okay, fine. So did this hourly mirror this hourly? Yes. So now you need to hit this. Did this hit? No. So then what should you do? You should go like this. Come on. Go like this. And you should say ladders and brakes because that didn't get hit. And then again, look at where you end up. Bang. Perfect. Your target was missed. Therefore, you're no longer in the Pandora's box. Go for the ladder and the brake and reset your Pandora's box. It's not literally resetting the Pandora's box, but what you're saying. is you're saying, okay, four hour next is four hour up here. So if this four hour hits and this next four hour level fails now, or this hourly fails, go back to looking for breaks down a range below. Breaks and not only breaks, but ladder points. And that completes that cycle of masters into, are you looking for a target? Yes or no. Has your target been hit? Yes. You're entering a mirror. Once that mirror is not there, stop buying hold levels, start buying. break points, start buying, or sorry, I should say break levels, start buying break levels, start buying origins of the timeframes that make sense and start buying ladder points. That's where that line in the sand is drawn.

You can understand which timeframe to use. You can understand where a range is going to break into the next, et cetera. So very, very simply, recap on the master is that you have a master up top, master below.

The great thing about master timeframes here, and we can see it as a daily on both, is it sets the parameter for the entirety of everything. So the next piece of everything you're looking at will be targets and mirrors. And that's really what we're going to talk about today. And then just.

a quick note you can see that there's two masters here as well which might even actually be controllers as we go through the process you see you have a four hour here a four hour here you have a larger hourly here and it's working outside of the parameter with this four hour and this daily not important for right now but these would be controllers and uh this would be also the master of this local piece right so you've got like a master controller And then here's a controller on this side, and you'd likely have an hourly master, which I haven't actually looked for, but you'd likely have an hourly master, something like this to this, right? So almost the exact same thing as you're seeing on both sides. The hourly being the master, which is a little counterintuitive because it's the higher level, but not really important for this piece right now.

As we're not talking about controllers in this lesson, we're simply going into the number two, which is the targets and the mirrors. So when do we use a target? when do we use a mirror? It's like, what do you use as something to enter a trade, which is a part of understanding here's the master next what's happening. So are you, are you entering a target or are you entering a mirror?

And the first way we'll start that is by defining the difference between a target and a mirror. So I'm just going to go here, cut the replay tool off here. Um, yeah, that looks good.

So a target would be. something where you hit a time frame on the top side and you have a target on the bottom side that you hit. So when you're hitting targets to targets like this, when you're going from one target to the next target, you have not entered your Pandora's box yet. You have to create a mirror somewhere to create that. And this is the difference between entering trades, say, on hold levels or based on...

And this actually wasn't even a level yet because technically we should draw this out here. Technically, it would have been like this. right like this would have been your um target and actually come on there we go we need to actually find the daily as well so like is this a daily it is not so this is actually the daily right here you actually have a daily like this right so you can see that by having the proper level here like this if we were to go back into a smaller time frame you can see the difference here between what's a target to a target allowing you to understand should you enter a level Or should you be entering other information such as ladder points?

Because that's going to be a big one for this. Ladder points is going to be huge, right? So in this, we have your target up top or your master time frame is looking for its target below.

So this is always going to say, are we going from daily to daily? And if we are indeed going from daily to daily, we're now creating a Pandora's box. And that Pandora's box is the compression of time frame.

So that's when you have something where you have daily. daily. Then you go four hour to four hour. Then you go hourly to hourly.

And all of a sudden, if this hourly doesn't hold, it's like, oh, you just went and hit your hourly and you targeted this four hour. So it's telling you that your four hour is failing because it's plus one minus one. It's saying I have a four hour level.

I need to hit my equalized four hour target. I cannot hit my equalized four hour target. My target is actually failing or my Pandora's box is failing. Right.

And so you're going to hit your your hourly and you're going to break down the move. So. targets always look for targets and that's part of masters like a master time frame here daily to daily is going to look for its daily to daily target which you can see it hits here it goes here it hits here who knows what's next and then what happens is when you start to plus one minus one this like i'm not sure exactly where this is going to go but uh you know you can look for polarity in this trade right here where it had to hold and then maybe it needed to have polarity there and then looking like it needs to hold something like this up or even something like this.

So I'm sure you could go into smaller timeframes here and see where you try to hold that move, that four-hour timeframe. Can't hold it. There's, where did that polarity go?

I think we took it off. There is the level below it, which is polarity right here, polarity in the trade and the hold level, right? So like, obviously once you fail this four hour level, that's just the same thing.

It's like the daily is hitting the four, the four can't hold it. It's going to break down, right? Because it would have to go four to four here and so forth and so forth and so forth, because it has completed its daily to daily right there.

So then it makes a new target. And this is where you really get the understanding of, and we can simply just delete this now. It's no longer usable. You can see it held here as a daily, try to hold here. Try to hold here.

No longer usable. And this is where it's interesting because this is where you redefine the parameters of any trade. So this is going to be the difference between buying hold levels versus buying ladder points, for example. If you have not reached your target yet, you will go for ladder points in a trade. If you have reached your target, you've created a Pandora's box and you will now go for hold levels.

So what I would like to do is I'd simply start to like, I would simply like to start marking. four hour levels there's looks like what would be polarity here not interested in this level looks like something in and around here uh looks like a reverse levels hit not interested in that um actually this might be a good four hour level to use as well because there's a four hour level polarity protecting a four hour level here so now that you've established daily to daily it really becomes a battle between four hour levels and if it does indeed become a battle between those four hour levels um you you can in confidence say we are now in a pandora's box and that's where you start looking for that that degradation of levels right so then you could just you know mark all these four hour levels hit play a little bit and see exactly what it's going to do so it does have trouble getting over this four hour level that's fine so you can see the four hour level here if this was to continue to hold it down this daily would break right but it doesn't you see how it tries to hold it down goes and hits the daily it's now surpassing this four hour level and going to this four hour level so this is the point is that the daily you're trying to create a pandora's box here So in order to create a Pandora's box, you've got your four hour targets on the bottom side like this. They need to hold and you need to target something on the top. And this is this is when you enter a Pandora's box.

So in your cycle, you can see there is the next four hour level. And then even something like this backside four hour level like this must hold. Right.

And then it would lead you to a reverse right here. But, you know, we can kind of continue the trail here and just adapting our our trades until we get to where we wanted to go. Actually, just go back to this. You're back to that four hour level.

So great. You're back to that four hour level. You have your next one. right here you have your next one right here and so forth so let's just continue this trade back to the daily again ah it actually hits an even lower daily but you see how it was having trouble gaining the four hour levels this is telling you hey my target hasn't been reached yet right so this is the inability to create a pandora's box and then goes and creates another daily level off of whatever this hourly was um so then again you're you're now looking and back in that cycle of trying to find four hour levels that are going to hold this move up right because you just really need to plus one minus when you see it here four hour level gets hit and held and we can pause this for a second you see it there you see the uh polarity here or even right here i can't tell if that's hardcore it doesn't look like it doesn't look like anything there looks like it's actually right here so this is the four hour polarity right and then you're gonna have this because the four hour polarity is equal to a daily right so you've got something like this so once you break over one of these polarized points like this like you've got a daily target that's now hit you've got four hour levels that are trying to hold up the move i'm assuming it's this backside four hour level here backside four hour level here trying to hold up the move maybe i'll even get to the front side i'm not sure but the point being is that you're not in a situation where you're saying you're in a pandora's box you need to start gaining some type of level to be in that right and so you're going to go here and that's where it happens and that's where you can say hey i've now entered a pandora's box i've broken over the level whether it's polarity daily so you're daily regaining a daily here saying that now you have four hour trails. So then you might be something like this here or even this year.

It doesn't really matter where your whole level is here. What matters is you hit this four hour level, bang, you go up, you hit this four hour level, bang, you go up, you hit this four hour. You're now in a Pandora's box, right?

You're daily to daily looking for the battle of four hour levels. And this is where it gets interesting because once you have said that, yes, I'm in a Pandora's box, I have on this side. use the four-hour level.

And on this side, I'm using four-hour levels. Then what happens is you are now trying to buy hold level. You're trying to buy plus one, minus one hold levels.

And if you haven't found your target yet, you are simply buying lateral. So we can go through that a little bit too here. Let's take that out.

Let's go up here. And again, you have a four-hour level here that's hit. This is now a daily.

You have a four-hour level hit here that's never hit. You also probably have four-hour backside here that was hit, right? So that's that's that's the key right there is that you have a four hour level here you know you can uh use these or not you know i'm just gonna take some of these out here just to clean up my charts just for this example uh do i care about an hourly hold level you know let's just hit play here just get current yeah okay so we don't care about this hourly break that's fine we actually use this four hour level here and we're using this four hour or daily level here either one but uh in any case you still hit this four hour level um you know you could be here you could also have like a break level here you could have a reverse here um which leads you to some looks like some backside moment in here where it just tried to play with the range and that's fine and then this is where you would be buying four hour to four hour levels because you are now in a pandora's box from here to here You've got a four-hour trend. You've got a four-hour trend. There is going to be, you've got a one-hour legacy.

And now I don't want to get into this because this is going more into the range trend, which is four. Right now we're focusing on the two and some parts of the three. We're not going to get into why we're using a lower timeframe here, but we have, I would just say a trend is a level and this is a legacy level in regards to this range that starts from here to here.

It's the highest trend that can be created because at the end of the day, you can simply um hit this trend over and over and over and eventually it may turn into a four hour or a daily like even right now uh it actually looks like it's a four hour it actually is so even that you know this is a trend i marked before you know when it was just first forming and it's actually a four hour right now and so you have like a global and a local four hour and you know you can even delete this four hour here but because it's it's just it's just going and pandora's boxing between four hour levels so you you can even just look for hourly levels right now on both sides of the chart and say, which hourly is holding this trade? Because now it's going to go through a queue because that's where you can say, is this a Pandora's box? Yes or no. And the criteria to say yes to that is, was there a daily target? Has a target been on both sides?

So the master is the target. So you do have a daily on the top and the bottom, and now you're in a range where you're going after four hour to four hour, right? So that's your criteria right there.

So then you can just simply start even working from the previous range and marking four hour levels like here's a or sorry not four hour hourly levels like here's an hourly level right it was the uh furthest one back it hasn't been hard closed and it's continuing to hold the move so you've got that side there and then you've got the hourly here on this side like has this been hit backside was hit yeah backside was hit um this hourly wasn't hit you'd really be expecting something in this area to be pulling it back does it meet the criteria of yes it's been hit technically yes but it's also been hard close so has this been hit yes or no no so now we would look at and this too has this been hit no so this this does look like failure inside of this range because we don't have the plus one minus one being hit and that plus one minus one is not always important the plus one minus one is important here because we have entered the queue of the pandora's box right like in a pandora's box scenario when you have dailies are hit and targets are hit on both sides then you have four hours it's already compressing the charts so we have two things we need to do Number one, we have to see if there's still four hour levels being hit beyond our trends. So is there one on this side? Yes.

Is there one on this side? Yes, but we're still hitting a four hour here. So we are actually cycling this move down and compressing against this move.

So what we would look for in this scenario is we would look for an hourly level to break this down. It tried right here. You can see it tried right here.

It wasn't able to break the move down. It then hit the four hour. doesn't go after the one. This one hour backside is hard closed right there, doesn't go after the one. So instead we have a four hour level compressing against a one hour level or a four.

So right now what we would look for is we would look for the continued degradation of this trade. This one hour wasn't hit and it's still falling down. You're now down into this.

So if stuff like this is stopping the trade, you know the trade is dead and it's breaking down. So this is the magic of a Pandora's box when you understand masters is that when you can't have a master, hit its target which is the opposite on the other side so we have the daily hit the daily and then we created ranges where four hours were dictating you are compressing and this just compresses this range just just so we're clear so like if you're if you're daily to daily or even greater daily to daily this is just this range that's controlling right so you could easily drop down to this range hit this four hour come back and hit another four hour up there so right now it kind of looks like we're going down to the 63k mark We haven't done all of our work that we need to do on this chart. But what we can say is that master is confirmed. Check.

Yes. Target is complete. Are we in a target or are we in a mirror? Target was hit. Is it a mirror?

So that's kind of the cue that you go through. Has the target been hit? If yes, is it a mirror?

Now, if your target hasn't been hit, that's where you're going to look for ladder points. And we'll talk about it after. If your targets have been hit and you are creating mirrors, which we are in this case. then you can say you're in a Pandora's box. So it's almost like, oopsies, we gotta erase that back.

It's almost like you have to go, one, which part of two is true? Is the first half of two true or is both halves of two true? does that allow you to see three, which is Pandora's box?

So if master is true, target is true, mirror is not true, you delete three. You don't have a number three. This actually number three goes away, right? So like if it looks like this, your number three is your range trend, okay?

And we'll talk about that in the next lesson. Your number three is your range trend. If you do have a mirror, your number three is your Pandora's box, which is a very cool thing to be able to see.

So now because we do have a target and we are in a mirroring situation where it's four hour going to four hour, our global target was hit. Our larger targets were hit. Right. Our daily, our daily. Now we are entering mirrors.

So you have a four hour, four hour. Now you're in a Pandora's box. Now you need to see which side of that Pandora's box is going to break. We looked at the one hour queue. It's not quite there.

Is it even lower? Did we have a 15 minute queue break this trade? Oh, let's take a look. 15 hit here. This could be your hourly rate here.

uh so your hourly was actually hit here so um you have an hourly that was hit and that's the thing about understanding um your your origin levels is that your hourly was hit you have a 15 minute origin it was hit perfectly so now your next part piece to take this trade down would be here like this this would be the this would be the component that breaks it down so your hourly is actually your four hour had hit your hourly is compressing it so if you were to take a trade and you shorted this hourly you would not be exiting the four hour trend So that would be the idea behind this trade. So you've got a hourly level here because it's a 15 minute origin. That's fine. You would now be saying, okay, this four is supposed to target this four. It doesn't happen.

Do we have any other fours? Well, we do. We have one. So it's not confirmed that we're breaking down, but like, look, you deep dove the four hour to find the 15 minute, which is your hourly target.

And the hourly is what would break it down. So it should be no shock that we are now back down face to an hourly, which would be the mirror to that hourly, right? So you go hourly to hourly.

So. but also in the moment trying to break this simply because the four hours couldn't be hit. Now, again, this four hour was hit.

So there's a little bit of a quandrum here. Like you've got a four hour, four hour, hourly, hourly. So now we have to continue looking down in time frame.

So you'd almost want to say like you have to hold this level or you have to build this level. You can't really hold this because you've actually targeted a deeper level. You actually have to create an hourly level here and you have to hold this.

So you have 31 more minutes. So your conclusion, when you wrap it all down, your conclusion should be, am I able to start holding this hourly, developing this hourly and start building timeframes underneath? Well, you can start checking.

You don't have a 15 minutes. You have a five. So this has to hold, right?

Which it's given you entry on it. You have a three, which as if your five doesn't start holding, I'd be concerned about the three. I would want my highest timeframe available to hold here.

You have a three and then you have a one combo right on the trend. I'm not even going to add that. I would want my highest timeframe to hold here because in order to gain the 15 or the hourly, it's going to have to be a bunch of five minutes at hold. So whatever your biggest timeframe was, and then you, you, you reverse that back to the moment of, right? So, you know, this can be an hourly.

Is that true? Yes. So now if that can be an hourly and that's true, yes.

What you're going to do, you're going to go here. And you're going to say, okay, that can be an hourly. Let's start seeing where the lowest timeframes can hold, because this is how we would do it.

IRL in real life in the moment, I have an hourly. I know that has to gain. And if it's not an hourly, it's also a 15. So it's whether it be a 15 minute level there or whether it be an hourly, that's fine. It's all the same. So in real life, the practical notion of this is you have one minute levels that have to start holding.

So fine. You go below your trend. you hit your hourly target, you make a one minute level. This might be a good re-entry. And then you would have to say like, okay, well, look, you have also a three minute level that can develop there and a five minute level that can develop there.

So you're looking for a rebuy somewhere in here. You're looking for a rebuy on one of these three levels. You simply haven't had the chance to do it. But as time goes on, if you were here in the moment, you would try to gain this level and set a rebuy on it. So your rebuy would have actually been right here in this moment.

Understanding that this could turn into a three, this is the one minute rebuy, that's the five. You have to do your best to get in the trade. And so you'd be in the trade here, right?

Because you're saying like, look, if the hourly is going to hit and hold and the four hour is there, and we are going to go into a mirroring scenario, this is what has to happen. If you hadn't entered the trade yet and you're sitting here saying, okay, the three minutes above the gain, the best case scenario you could hope for is entering here. If the five minute gains, the best case scenario you can hope for is entering here. Five minute hits, the best case scenario you can hope for is entering here. It doesn't actually go.

go and test back that five best case scenario you can enter here. And this is if the move is in succession. So let's be clear about that. This is if the move is in succession, this is your best case scenario. And then right now it's trying to do the same thing.

It's trying to use a one minute level to hold it up and move up. So it's just trying to gain the hourly. The problem with this right now is you still have 29 minutes. Can you make this a 15?

You can, you can gain this as a 15 here. So that would be okay. It's hit this 15 because that's all it is right now.

And this is this is the constant moving up. of that timeframe, right? So like, if this is in succession, which I say, I don't think it is from earlier saying, I don't think it is because we've simply hit this target here, this four hours here, but then you don't really have this. This just looks like it's failing at a minimum. You would have wanted this to come up here and maybe test the local piece of this or something in here.

Not, not, not to get front running to move down. I've said it from the beginning that I think this looks like it's failing. Um, and then for the simple fact that you were supposed to go from four hour to four hour. from hourly yeah you went to hourly here but there's a lot deeper levels like uh fine hourly to hourly make a stall here but if you were in this trade from here you wouldn't be exiting on this right here um this is just looking like it's gonna break down and again going back to the four hour levels like you have a four a four so that's fine this four and this four are connected here like this so this four not four this test of that four to this test of that four this test of this four to the test of an hourly. So you can already see where this move is starting to break down because that's what you get when you understand you have a master, you have a target and also a mirror that gives you your Pandora's box.

Your Pandora's box is simply a question of plus one, minus one. It becomes very simple. Pandora's box, boil it all down to plus one, minus one, whichever side is failing on plus one, minus one, that's a side that's holding the box. And that's a side that'll break next.

It's like very simple. There's not much to do there. The only thing here.

is if you don't have a pandora's box so your mirror is not there you're not going four to four you're not doing that you are now looking for ladder points instead of hold levels and an example of that would be i'm just going to take a four hour zoom down and just look at ladder points um maybe from a different range maybe we can go somewhere else in this and uh just look maybe like right here this looks fine i that doesn't really matter so if we were to look at this trade here Okay, so this was like one of the all-time highs and I'm sure this is going to be a weekly to a weekly. This was a four-hour level that got held. You know what? Let's do it.

Let's go and let's take this right here like this and say, where are your targets here? Yeah, so like weekly target here, even though we don't use weekly, we can still use the whole level as an example. That's fine.

Weekly target there. weekly target here if you haven't done this to this or this to this you haven't found your target yet which means you're using ladder points so technically you should be saying like you lose that weekly you should go here right you have a target much lower right here if you haven't found your target yet what you're going to do is you're just going to like buy somewhere around here so like you could even just say there's looks like without me changing time frames there's some type of origin here i'm just going to mark it as a four as a random guess and this is where you would use like a break level an origin a ladder point of some difference so if it hits this realize you have not found your target yet you are not able to enter a pandora's box right because this is what it should be i'm just going to hit play here let this thing and there it is like just just a random guess no no idea but this is telling you it hasn't found its target yet so therefore You can't go and say daily, but look for your daily up top. You are not in a scenario where you're looking for daily to daily or the four.

You are in a scenario where you're saying your target has not been hit yet. Therefore, a Pandora's box cannot be created yet. The next thing you would do is you would try to get this level because if that's target, then fine, that's target. If not, you're going to have some other target in here. Notice how we don't go from.

target here to target here we're not in a pandora's box we're not in that scenario you hit the weekly let's see weekly hits what happens next okay weekly to weekly now now if this holds now you can sit here and say okay and we can delete this is just a random guess it was a good guess um it's not really a guess it's kind of back-ended by right let's just watch this keep going target hasn't been hit yet so you know that if you're failing, these shouldn't be targets. And again, we're not using weeklies. This is rather to just demonstrate where you won't go up and where you will go up.

So you've got weekly here to weekly here. So let's delete this. Oopsies. let's delete this okay dude yeah let's delete that let's take our replayer tool back to here and now when we say we have a weekly target to a weekly target we could start going and saying okay well where's our dailies okay so for example you have a daily here that was hit and held your next daily would be here that was hit and held right and this is this is continuing to hold and so this is where you're going to use that like whole levels plus one minus one on the whole level so like you've got that there okay so great you have the daily there it gets hit and held so let's think all things equal weekly to weekly good daily fine this should be next we'll use the backside we'll give this a little bit of grace so then this weekly should go down to this daily it's next this should hold and if it does it should go up to there it doesn't hold right because you're not you haven't found your target yet you're not entering a pandora's box yet right again we don't use weeklies so take this weekly to weekly with a grain of salt and the trail that we're creating It's probably more like daily to four to hourly, et cetera, which might change what we're looking at here a bit.

But then at the same time, after you've hit this daily here, you've got a daily holding it down here. You've got the next daily holding it down here. You've got the next daily holding it down here.

You've got the next daily holding it down here. Like your daily had already compressed anyway. So despite the fact that we're not using weeklies, it's still working perfectly fine because the theory is what makes sense, not the timeframe.

The timeframe is irrelevant. So daily there, you hit daily to daily, all things equal, right? This daily is holding it down.

Again, this daily holds it down. This daily holds it down. This daily breaks underneath what had to hold the move.

I don't think there is really anything else. There's this one again that could hold. But again, you can see where plus one minus one is exactly what Pandora, like exactly what breaks the Pandora's box. And then you can just continue this and just keep going and just say like, delete that, delete this.

It's not there yet. Hasn't hit its target. and then and then you're gonna see oh we're way back over here okay well we went we went really far i don't really think we need to uh go back this far we could just take that replayer tool off and that's where you see like if if that's where you use your ladder points so this example here picking that random example and finding that that four hour level here or or wherever it was that we found it i actually don't even remember don't even recall but finding that ladder point that we did that's where it made sense because when you haven't hit a target so if a pandora's box is not present. And this is another quick way to boil it down.

If you're not in a Pandora's box, don't buy hold levels. Go and buy ladder points. Go and buy break levels. Go and buy origins. Go and pick.

Here, look at something down here. Are you in a Pandora's box daily to daily? Yes. Can you play a hold level then?

Yes. Because you have daily to daily. Now all of a sudden, you can use hold level. You can use a hold level.

And look, daily to daily. you're in a Pandora's box, right? This is just targets mirroring each other, but masters until they find their target.

So if you have a master, if it has found its target, you can now say, yes, you're in a mirror, play, hold levels, Pandora's box. So if, if mirror is true, play holds. So like this, play holds, right? If the mirror is not true, you go like this and you say, Oh, And we won't get into range trends today. We'll do that next lesson or in a few lessons once we're comfortable with this.

Play ladders and breaks. Simple. It boils it down to what you should play based on what your master is telling you.

So it very simply takes apart like half of the stuff you would ever end up doing because it just easily tells you when you're supposed to play hold levels and when you're supposed to play break levels or break levels or ladder points. Other forms of the deepest part of the chart, other forms of polarity, right? And then again, even right now, this looks like it's failing to me. This looks like it's failing. If it holds this for long enough, it's going to create the hourly hold level.

You still have 20 more minutes. If it continues to hold this for long enough and you have an hourly to gain, then great. Then maybe you can move up again and then you can go retest that question of, hey, are we going to an hourly? Are we going to a 15 up top?

But right now, what I can say in certainty is that you have a four hour. four hour four hour here goes to four hour there hourly holds it hits four hour concerning to me very concerning to me because if this is holding why couldn't it have held backside here or this here because if you take this replay tool back this is really what should have helped you hit your hourly you have an hourly there right so this should have been like the perfect long and it was There it is. There's the long hour to hour. All things are equal. What happens next?

Let's see. You've got an hourly here. Is there any 15 minute levels that are holding this thing back? Well, let's check.

Hourly, got a 15 here. See what gets hit. If it's a 15 that gets hit, then you're kind of cooked. Okay, it actually goes up.

That's fine. But again, so fine, this isn't the hourly it holds. So let's go back and look for the next level. Hourly here, doesn't hit the hourly. Does it hit a 15 somewhere?

No, it actually just misses its target. So you could almost even just say here. four hour, 15 hasn't found its hourly target yet.

Therefore it will still move down, which is neat because if you haven't, which is, which is now saying this hourly has to find an hourly up top, right? Because look, this hourly here, it gets hit here. Fine.

Then you have this hourly here. This should get hit here. When it doesn't, what is it telling you?

It's telling you it hasn't found its target. So now you need to be either playing ladder points. So if you're going to play a ladder point, I don't know, play it right here.

random guess looks like a ladder point i don't know all right pick up pick a ladder pick a ladder any ladder you know what i mean what is this 25 okay is there any like hourly ladder points it could be well i can see one already right here uh that's too low because you want to hit the break or the ladder point above the level so it can continue to ladder there we go look at that pick a ladder any ladder look where we are now you man is that close there might even be a five minute there i doubt it but and then and then and then so that's exactly it like hourly should now hit either hourly or 15 when it doesn't pick a ladder any ladder right like you enter that queue and look what you get and now is this going to hold and move up or not so this is the power of understanding where targets get hit and where let's back out and uh go into this a bit where do we have this here right here you So this is where you can say master target mirror mirror was yes, except let's bring this over here a little bit, zoom back in on timeframes and zoom in here. You have masters. Yes, we have masters.

Do those masters have targets hit? Yes, they have targets. Is it mirroring?

Well, okay, fine. So did this hourly mirror this hourly? Yes.

So now you need to hit this. Did this hit? No. So then what should you do?

You should go like this. Come on. Go like this.

And you should say ladders and brakes because that didn't get hit. And then again, look at where you end up. Bang.

Perfect. Your target was missed. Therefore, you're no longer in the Pandora's box. Go for the ladder and the brake and reset your Pandora's box.

It's not literally resetting the Pandora's box, but what you're saying. is you're saying, okay, four hour next is four hour up here. So if this four hour hits and this next four hour level fails now, or this hourly fails, go back to looking for breaks down a range below. Breaks and not only breaks, but ladder points. And that completes that cycle of masters into, are you looking for a target?

Yes or no. Has your target been hit? Yes.

You're entering a mirror. Once that mirror is not there, stop buying hold levels, start buying. break points, start buying, or sorry, I should say break levels, start buying break levels, start buying origins of the timeframes that make sense and start buying ladder points.

That's where that line in the sand is drawn.
