What's up, guys? So, today we're going to be going over SMT. You guys have been begging for this video. I wasn't going to make it just because I don't know. It's just too good, man. It's just too good. Now, I'm not going to show everything, but I'm probably going to show like 40% or something like that, which is more than enough, man. Like, you're not going to find this stuff anywhere. Now, it's not all of this stuff is obviously like brand new or anything like that. I'm not claiming that, but you're not going to find it uh for free. Like, try to go look up Tuesday SMT on YouTube. You're not gonna find it. Try to go look up lagging asset. Try to go look up shank switching. You're not gonna find it, bro. So, like what I'm giving you here for free, dude, is a lot, you know? Um, like I said, you guys have been wanting this. I know it's going to help a lot of people. Uh, SMT is obviously a very popular concept, very extremely good concept, but it's it can be very damaging, right? because they form everywhere. It's like which one do I pick? Um, which one's fake? Which one's real? Well, you're about to find out. Um, so yeah, let's get into it. This is really the key to my trading. So, you guys see me trade almost every day. I'm demanding this type of stuff. It's not just an SMT, okay? It's like an S&P that's confirmed essentially and not an S& is not confirmed by CSD. That's not a confirmation to a to a SMT. It's this type of stuff and like I said, not teaching all of it, but you're you're going to learn enough to where like you can apply it to your trading and stuff. So, what is an SMT? So, there's many forms of SMT. So, here's one of them, the most commonly um referred to is an SMT between two correlated markets and one asset takes out the high. So they're you know correlated markets are going to create the same highs and lows and one asset is going to take out that high where if we compare uh you know the chart to the other asset it doesn't take that high. So that's the correct correlation which is hinting a reversal. So whenever you trading to a key level or creating an SMT I trade swing points so you can refer to this like the fractal model. We wait for a candle to closure or a swing point to form. That's our first instinct right is because the market can't reverse at a swing point. Hence titr's fractal model as a whole idea behind his model. So we're waiting for a swing point. Okay. Now where a lot of people go wrong is they want to focus on they only want to focus on this asset. Okay. Where it's the one that sweeps. But you need to reverse engineer that and you need to be looking at this asset. Okay? Because this asset here needs to reverse. It needs to trade trade in this direction. Uh which obviously we want this asset to go. So it's like correlated markets they need to be in correlation to expand. Okay? So if this asset fails to reverse this one won't reverse. So you need both of them to reverse to expand you know away from this uh sweep or this SMT etc. So what you want to see this is what's going to look like right where this is a true reversal where both assets expand ideally right um to a very simple but how do you gauge that this asset will expand well this is where strength switching comes in so what we want to see ideally is this asset that was um previously stronger right because it is stronger we wanted to momentarily switch strength uh right after this S&P right to catch up to this asset so they can do what? So they can become correlated so they can expand. Okay, this is how markets expand. Um so we measure that which which uh with strength switch or strength switching. So like I said, as soon as we create this higher high, we're going to be looking we're going to be gauging switching and strength a couple different ways. So here's one of them. Immediately following the SMT that swept the displacement leg is going to create a larger gap hinting uh that it's weaker right momentarily to catch up to this one where this asset is creating a larger or smaller gap. So that's hinting that this asset is switching to the weaker one, right? Or it was originally stronger. Another one will be this asset will not fill in a gap while this one will. They're going to create the same swing. uh lows in the market. They're going to create the same opposing candles where this asset closes below the low, you know, before this one or maybe this one doesn't close below the low or this one CSTs first before this one. So, these are just all different types of switching strength, right? So, they're going to create the same displacement legs where maybe this displacement leg is larger than this one or maybe the the retracement is shallower than this one. Again, it's just a switch in strength. Now, this is what it's going to look like on the um kind of like the overall view, right? Where we can kind of view this maybe as a this is the hourly chart, for example. Maybe this is a daily swing high. We have our first SMT. So, as soon as we create an SMT, what's the things we look for? Well, it's a swing point, but you know, the main thing we want all the markets to expand away. So, we're looking at this asset and we want it to momentarily switch to the weaker asset, right? So, what you're going to see is this asset is more so expanding. Well, this one is going to be like more lackluster, but I don't want it to expand in the opposite direction. I want it to either be making deeper retracements or having, you know, uh, smaller gaps or consolidating, right? It's very, it's still continuation, but it's it's lackluster. Well, this asset is expanding. So, why is it doing that? to catch up to this asset. Okay, so what you're seeing is, you know, 2CMT, which is something we're going to get into later on, but this is what's going to look like. Okay, this is like the whole picture here. Let's get into a lagging asset. So, a lagging asset is when we create an SMT, but it doesn't reverse, right? We don't have that expansion away on the asset that swept. What if it just consolidates? It's just like phases of price. If we expand to a high or maybe expand through a high well and then maybe consolidate well those are not reversal signatures. So what does that tell you? That this asset is not going to reverse because this asset over here if it didn't reverse and this one can't reverse. So oftent times this is when we can trade the lagging asset to actually trade into the SMT uh high that got that's essentially fake. Like this is a fake SMT. Okay, that's how you filter SMTs. It's like if the asset that sweeps doesn't reverse, well, it's a fake SMT. We can actually target that high that was previously an SMT, if that makes sense. Now, what's the most ideal scenario to trade a lagging asset? Well, it's a switch in strength, right? We want this asset that was previously lagging, that was weaker, right? We wanted to switch momentarily bullish to catch up to this high or this high, right? Um, one form where there's an SMT at the lows which is going to be the trigger. This is not the ideal version. It's actually this where we create a higher high because that would be signifying what a switch and strength. So here you go lagging asset shrink switch. This is the ideal scenario and there's a couple different forms of this um but this is one of them right um where it's the SMT. It can also be you know where this asset is creating larger gaps while this one isn't. So again there's different types of forms. I'm not showing all of them. um they're not in the previous slides or whatever, but again, this is going to be the most common one, right? So, here's what I refer to with Failure Swing SMT. Um this is really really specific um to when we're in a bullish market, for example, and we're having like a bullish consolidation, for example, and then um one asset, the asset that sweeps, it sweeps all the failure swings, well, the asset that's creating a failure swing is just a part of a bunch of failure It's like really close to these failure swings. So, what is that creating? A bunch of low resistance liquidity when we're already in a bullish market. So, if you expand, you consolidate. Well, it's going to expand again. So, this SMT where it's with a bunch of failure swings is generally going to never hold. Okay. So, what this is, it's failure swing SMT, which is like a fake SMT in my book, where I would want to trade this lagging asset to this high to these highs still. Okay. So, I wouldn't be viewing this as a true reversal. Okay. Another um one another S&P I would look out for that's fake generally is for example with like daily highs and lows or weekly highs and lows where like there's no wick, okay, on both assets and then one asset trades into the wick or trades into the uh the opening price of those candles that is creating a wick, okay? Where the other asset doesn't. So there's an SMT there, but it's irrelevant because the asset that's creating a fair swing still has a wickless candle. So there's still a reason for turn back to the area. So therefore, it's not high probable SMT. Um, now now let's get into two-stage SMT. So again, there is many forms of two-stage SMT. I'm going to teach you a couple of them. So this is going to be like the same time frame SMT or close proximity highs and lows. Um so what this means is let's pretend there is a daily fair value gap to the left. Okay. And we have an SMT in that gap. Pretend this is the hourly chart. So just standard time frame alignment where we we have one asset switching or sorry we have one asset sweeping. That's the initial SMT. So we're always paying attention to the asset that sweeps, right? And we want it to switch bearish. Okay. So this is like your two-stage SMT. And it can almost look like a roof, right? Here's your roof. But it's it doesn't have to look like this always. It can be later on in the leg where we switch strength. But the switch and strength is key. Do you notice how the switching and strength is very key here? This is what no one talks about. Um, so like you're learning something very important for free. Like uh where I don't even teach this type of stuff, by the way. It's like I was going to never teach it, but I'm I'm just teaching it free. I'm not here for your money. So, and this stuff really works. So, check this out. This is what it's going to look like for another type of two-stage SMT. So, this can be on any time frame, by the way. There could be maybe a a swing point that get sweeps on the hourly to the left. Okay? Like over here, maybe this five minute chart and you're seeing Tuesday's S&P like this. Now, like I said, this is closer proximity highs and lows. What happens if your first SMT is like really far away? So, pretend this is the hourly chart. Again, it's the daily swing high. So, the daily swing high is way to the left. we're going to be viewing this as our higher time from frame SMT or our large range SMT, right? So, a lot of times when you have these SMTs way off to the left, um sometimes they're they're going to be fake where like this asset will just trade into this high later on. It's just lagging behind. How do you know if it's a true reversal? It's when we get a two-stage SMT. So, it's an SMT confirmed by an SMT essentially where it's like a larger time frame from SMT or a large range SMT confirmed by a small range SMT or a lower time frame from SMT. And ideally, we want it to switch strength. Okay? Ideally, because again, it's we're still applying the same concept, right? It's still the same thing or like the asset that sweeps ideally switches strength in some capacity. So, that's what you see here. And like I said, this is SH SMT, but it's higher time frame to lower time frame essentially. Um, now this is a two-stage SMT that's a little bit lower probability. So, you see how this asset it gets created here. So, whenever you see an an asset that creates an SMT like right here and it creates a swing point like it should reverse from here like that's what I want to see. What if it doesn't? What if you create you know new higher highs? Um, that's automatically lower probability because this asset didn't reverse, right? But what if it's holding this SMT? So I would I'm not going to I'm not going to trade this here until we get a strength switch. Okay. So see how strength switching is very key here. Extremely key. So as long as this SMT holds and then we get a strength switch that's trigger for this essentially like this SMT that you see here to actually expand away. And generally this is how higher time frame uh like uh retracements occur. So, like when you see this, it's not going to be like a an S&P that's going to hold for the long term. I have a couple examples of this like recently recent PA, but um this is the trigger like I would never trust it until we get a strength switch. Okay, so this is another type of two. Like I said, it's a little bit lower probability. Um and that's all the slides here. So, let's get into some examples. So, um if I refer to something over here again, I don't even What the hell? Okay. Yeah, it was probably over here. Um, let's just start. Hold on, dude. This is so cooked. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool. There there's a bunch of examples over here. Okay. Uh, and what I'm going to show you here is a type of SMT. I'll just show you guys. Um, so here's obviously your first SMT. Okay. If I go to YM, so when I refer to when I refer to RTY, which is an index or indicy, I'm going to always refer to YM. I'm never going to use RT1 ES and EQ. It's it's only RTY YM. Okay. Now, YM, I can use pretty much anything. Okay. Um, but what you're going to see here is like this is your first SMT, right? But I'm mainly following this SMT that you see here. Okay. I don't know why it's not appearing. Awkward. Cool. All right. So, it was bearish, but now you're seeing a SMT between bodies. So, you see how we created a higher high here. Over here, we create a lower low. We're not c we're not sweeping out this low, but it's between the bodies, the lowest body. um within this like uh reversal here and the lowest body between this reversal. Okay. So, do you see how this is a two-stage SMT where originally we were weaker but now we're switching some sort of strength right now. Obviously, this is a little bit lower probability um just because we don't sweep out these lows. I ideally want to see here, but this is a type of two two-stage S&P. I just wanted to throw that in there um because I just remember that. Um now what I was going to show you guys was over here. Again, this is gonna be a long video. I don't even have a lot of this stuff marked out. Uh so this is something I did trade here. What day was it? It was this day. So I'll check out this SMT. I also want to show you this too. It's like it's everywhere, guys. So it's like I can really pick anything. So if we just think about weekly profiling, what is this week opening near? It's opening near this relevant low and then all these failure swings up here. So it's like in a range obviously. So if you see the the week, the weekly candle opening low first. What does that generally support? A bullish candle where the open low is leaving behind an unestablished high of the week. It's just 1,800 is the high of the week. Do you really think it's going to be the high of the week? No. So when you see an SMT opposing to that, so you see this relevant low, see the space between this low and this low, this is that's what creates a relevant low. Now when you manipulate a relevant low, that's what creates a protected low, right? So there's your SMT here with YM. Now what are some things we want to see? We want to see YM momentarily switch to the stronger asset just to catch up. That's like the trigger for a reversal. Okay? Doesn't mean that this asset is going to get here first. That doesn't mean that. It just means that this asset here is going to expand. Like it's it's confirming some sort of expansion and that's all that price needs. That's all um we just need all the markets to be trading in the same direction. Okay. For markets to actually expand. So do you see this gap here? How it's pretty large? When I go to this asset, there is no gap. Okay? So that's a form of strength switching, right? Um and if I go over here, do you see this leg here? There's no pullback. But over here, there is a pullback. It's right here. Okay. So while this asset is pulling back because it already created or damn near it already created a new high of week and over here, uh it didn't we're not even close. Like if I bar play this, where did we start to? Yeah. You see right here, we hit the the weekly open over here. Um while over here, where we at here, it's this candle here, right? We're not even freaking close, bro. You see that? So, it's like this asset was expanding in this candle here to catch up while this asset was retracing. You see that? Then it hits a gap. Okay? So, this asset hits a gap so it can continue from Well, this asset is just continuing. Um, so that's the difference there between like, you know, a true reversal and a lagging asset. Okay, we see some sort of switching in strength. Now, we're going to see later on is something I traded which was very counter trend. Now, there's another reason why I traded this, but we'll just get into a simple version of this. So, here's your higher attempt from SMT. So even on your way to withdraw liquidity like this, okay, on your way to withdraw liquidity, you're not going to have every single day. So if I go like in ES, uh you're not going to have every single day where it is going to be like a bullish expansion day. Okay, but what do you need to trade a this is a very one-sided narrative to get to the highest. So obviously trading counter trend is lower probability, but what do you need to require? You need to require a two-stage S&P. It's absolute must. Okay. Now, when you're trading protrend, you don't need as much confirmation when the reversals actually put in, right? Because you have the higher time frame supported by um you know, by your ideas, right? Um so, if you check here, oops, there is no low of the day. It's just 1,800. So, remember I said that if there's an SMT here, so there's not over here. I think there's like yeah this SMT here. I don't care about this SMT because there's still a reason turn back here on YM. So this SMT is irrelevant. Now what we're going to see here is here's your large from SMT here. Right. Boom. Confirmed by what? A small range SMT. So here the high of day is nine o'clock. Over here it is um over here it is 10 o'clock. So there's your large temp followed by small R SMT. What do you want the asset to do the sweeps? We're waiting for it to switch. We want it to expand. So you see how this here the fiveminute chart just expanding. Well, this asset was creating or kind of consolidating or creating a higher high. Okay, so this is very key, right? And what you're going to see when did this asset actually reverse truly reverse? Do you see right here? This piece of price action here. Okay, so 11 o'clock is the high here, which is the high of the 11 o'clock candle. So I'm just trading at the fractal here. You see how it's a bullish close over here? It's bearish. Okay, and right here you don't have any bullish candles right here, but over here you do. Okay, so that's the the switching of strength. So it's it's constantly happening. Okay, which can be kind of confusing. Um, but what's uh really key is this exactly. So it's essentially a two stage. Okay. So, it's like the first switch in strength is from the higher time frame. So, boom, you get it there. But, and then you have this asset that swept right here. So, what do you want it to do? Switch strength, right? To expand lower. So, that's what you see on the lower side from here. So, you see how it's fractal. It's very pretty cool. So, I'm trading this day. So, I took this is on my Twitter or whatever you want to look at. Um, they actually just posted. I took it to this low. Now, why am I trading to this low and not We're lower like I said countren and you're trading a reversal candle. So if I show you the the wick here, oops, not far. If I show you the wick here, you see this large opposing run. If I want to be short, this is part of bearish expansion candle. So what does that tell you? It's going to close a reversal candle with a very large wick and a small body. So it's not going to basically close past the opening price because the wick size doesn't support it. So you have to adjust your targets. It doesn't mean you can't trade it. You just have to adjust your targets. So, if you look at the 4 hour candle, yeah, I'm still trading GXT. I'm still trading a 4 hour expansion candle. Okay? Um, it's just a 10 a.m. reversal and uh as well as 9:30 is creating this as well. By the way, specifically on these assets over here, it's trading to a level and then 10 o'clock is reversing, which is the ideal scenario for a 10 reversal. Um, you know, because I'm getting kind of sidetracked here, but as we see, we see it both days, right? Um, so now let's move on to some some more examples. I'm just trying to refer to this piece of Oh, yeah, never mind. We're not done. Hold on. So, check this out too on the higher time frame. So, we're going to see is that we took out these highs here on ES on the 24th of April as you see on NQS but YM we did not take these highs out. So, it's like what would be a true reversal is these assets to reverse obviously like all the assets to reverse but what do we see the market starts to do what consolidate. So what do we what do what do we say about an SMT that consolidates? This is not a reversal signature. So that means that YM should catch up to these highs. Now what's the ideal scenario for the market to catch up? Is this asset to switch to the stronger asset? One of my favorite things to do is to trade a lagging asset. Um because it's obviously not like a guaranteed draw liquidity, but it's very high probability. So here's is what you see right where the Friday low of the 25th of April is taken out or not taken out but over here it is. Um and this is significant because this is a relevant swing. Okay. So if you watch my last video talked a little bit about it. The space between these lows is a relevant swing. These are all failure swings. So the weekly is just kind of consolidating and then manipulating right a relevant swing to form the low of the week. Right? Look here, you have uh the previous week is an expansion candle, a reversal candle. You have that small wick where um you know it's supporting that expansion move or whatnot, right? Um so what you saw though is a strength switch which is the key for this asset to reach this high. Now what you're going to see even intraday is a two-stage S&P. So the asset that creates a higher high or sorry a higher low right here is sweeping out this low. You see that it's sweeping out this low. Now if I go to ES for example where it was originally weaker but it momentarily switches to the strongest asset. And this is a strength switch but it's a 26 SMT. So I don't care about an S&P that forms like this like a a double sweep although that is a two S&P it's just a bit lower probability well not even a bit lower probably it is lower probability so a lot of people don't know that but this is the ideal scenario for a two SMT so we also can you know confirm this with the driver what is the driver doing it's 9:30 is expanding into this low okay and then 10 o'clock is reversing again this is the ideal scenario for a 10 a.m. reversal. It's not just any ten reversal. There's actually a negative condition for a tenium reversal. Um, but this is not that. So, here here's your first H SMT. Um, and obviously this is a fractal model, but I want you to look here in Q trades into this gap first, which is creating an SMT on the lower time frame. See this? So, it's like how do you know if it's fake? You know, look at YM. Look how far away YM is. Like how do you know it's fake? Well, we can fractalize it. Um, and what do we also see? Like this is strength switching where in yes took out this low, but we're getting to this high before Y. You see that? Um, which is very interesting. So that's a form of strength switching, right? But we're going to see is even more. So you see that how this swept did not reverse. It's consolidating. You see that? Now what do we see over here? It's a very slight switch in strength. So you see how we're more so uh expanding in a way while this asset is more so sideways. You see this is a bearish close here. This is bullish. These are bullish. So you clearly see some sort of switching of strength which tells you that we are indeed going to reach this high. So this is another example of trading a lagging asset. Okay. Um and I think we have like some SMT here as well. So 10:25 10:25 gets taken. I don't know about over here to be honest. 1025 does not. Okay, it doesn't get taken. But again, it's not just with highs and lows or again this is not like a relevant SMT by the way. That wouldn't be a relative necessarily a relevant SMT. It's just showing a switch strike. That's what we're using it for. Okay. Um and yeah, so that's that version. We're first fractalizing it. And I think that's all I was going to show you guys for this because I have a lot of examples. So, we'll go and exit out of that just so it's not confusing. Now, let's go ahead and move on. We need to hurry up because this is I don't want this to be like too too long. Um, but what I want you guys to see here is actually a couple things. So, let's just look at this higher time from retracement. Okay, which is which is something I did trade. So, as you see, here's your large time frame S&P with a daily swing point high. Now, what's the trigger for this retracement? It's a two-stage S&P. So, what's the high of the day this day? It's 2 am over here. And so, they created the low of the day. The high of the day is 6 a.m. Okay, which forms the retracement. Okay, so when I tell you this strength switching, this is strength switching by the way. It's it's a two-stage SMT, but it's important that it's it's a strength switch SMT like or a strength switch. You see that that's what that's why this works. Okay. Um now, if we go to the lows as well, um if I can freaking find it, if I have it marked out, right? Um so, the asset that was originally weaker because we didn't take out this high, right? You see that? What is it doing intraday? It's creating a higher high at the low of the day where over here it's creating a lower low. I also want you to see another thing. How do you know that this SMG is fake right here? This is something I took right here. I took both days. So you guys see me trading a lot. Now you know how and why. But if you look here, there's an SMT, right? But do I consider this a a true SMT? No. Because of the strength switch. That's one reason. But another reason is you have a strength switch on our way to this high which tells you that the that's one reason why you can already tell that all the assets are going to expand to this high. So do you see how intraday RB is the weakest asset in this triad because there's no fair value gap here. You see that prior to this this expansion over here we obviously have some sort of expansion right but if I go over here um to to RB so we have some sort of uh lower low here by the way I have to find it. So I think it's right here. So 9:15 9:15 hold on sorry I'm looking at the wrong thing. It's 8 830 low gets taken out. It gets taken over there. What about over here? 8:30 does not get taken out over here. So, we have this SMT here. But what do we see immediately following this SMT is we see that we obviously know that uh HO is the strongest one because it took out the side. Okay. Like overall it's the strongest one. But what we seeing um you know um you know on our way to that high what are we seeing? So the asset that swept that was uh originally the weakest asset. You see this expansion here? You see how large it is? Let's go to the strongest asset. It's smaller, right? So what does that tell you over here? It's like medium size. What does that tell you is that um the the other assets are just picking up strength to expand it this high. Okay, like I said, if this is going to be true reversal, I I want this to switch to the the weaker asset, but I want it um I don't want the other assets to be expanding. That's how you know that this is not a you know an SMT here where it's like switching strength because yeah, this is momentarily switching to the weakest one, but that's the difference. Okay. So, you can generally uh when you have like Never mind, I'm not going to get into that. It's going to be too much. But this is what I traded here. By the way, it's just this fair value. I forgot exactly what I traded, but no, this is not what I traded. I traded this fair value. Yeah. Uh, and what I'm doing is I'm TPing when the assets hit this high. So, I think I tped when CL took this high. By the way, it was CL here. I do believe I didn't wait for all the assets to hit this high but right here because if the other assets are going to expand then that means that this asset can obviously expand as well okay through the high it's expanding through the high until these assets hit this high and that's when I can TP so exactly right here is exactly when I TP okay so around 33R um because if you look at this retracement size it's a lot deeper because remember they're going to create the same uh expansion leg following the SMT here. Okay. Um but it's really the the switch in strength. That's that's the important part. You see a shallow retracement compared to this one. There's your switch in strength which tells you that all the assets are going to expand this high. So that's that example. A few examples on oil. I have another one here apparently. Uh oh yeah, this is something I traded. So check this SMT. Here's your large time from SMT. If I go to RB, we take this low. So, it's S&P with a gap. Excuse my [ __ ] net here. As you see, we're trading into that gap, okay, on the other assets. So, what's the trigger for these assets, these assets here, the weakest ones to have some sort of expansion back higher or some sort of move higher because I'm trading a reversal day obviously like look at this candle. It's a reversal candle. So, it's more so just counter trend to the daily range. Um, how do I anticipate this move happening? Well, I need a strength switch. I need the other assets to have, you know, some sort of move back in the range and what's the trigger for that. It's a strength switch. Okay, we're repeating the same thing over and over. Um, okay, this is a bit weird where this feed in particular doesn't take out this low or this one does. This happens very rarely, but it's a bit weird. But as you see here, we do take out the slow, right? here. So, here's your strength switch. When I pull it over here, uh, it's this SMT. Okay. Now, remember what I said like when we don't reverse immediately from this low, I'm going to wait for what? A strength switch to be the trigger. Okay? Because this asset held this SMT over here. Okay? Where we saw like these assets didn't really manipulate well obviously. So when you see this, what did I show tell you guys? It's likely going to be a retracement. Okay, so this is what it actually ended up being is retracement. Uh and you see that uh the low of the day here is five o'clock over here. The low of the day, sorry, I have to go to this one. [ __ ] hell. Right here. The low of this is 8 o'clock. So there's that SMT there. And I traded this back into EQ this range because it's a higher it's just a retracement. Uh but you see that daily is opening low first. That is one of the requirements which we'll go over candle profiles. Candle profiles are extremely important and uh probably also misunderstood like how to trade a open high low close etc. But I'm trading to this swing high which is in premium which resides in this 4hour gap right here. So that was my trade and that's the Tuesday SMT there, which is the trigger for some sort of move back on the range. So, let's move on here. Now, here's an example I showed last video about drivers. So, prior to this driver, we manipulated. So, what should we do? We should expand. Um, but what what I just want to show you guys here really briefly is a strength switch, some strength switching stuff. So, first off, like the asset that was uh the strongest in the triad, which is gold after the this expansion. What are we seeing? It's consolidating. So, it's like it's not likely to reverse. You know, even the strongest SN triad after expansion is consolidating. So, that's a continuation signature. What's the ideal scenario for trading away from consolidation? It's manipulation paired with an SMT obviously. And what do we see? The asset that sweeps, it prints a reversal signature, right? It has that swing point. It has the expansion mouth expansion, but within the expansion, we're seeing some sorts of crack or strength switching, right? Close this is a bit too much. So, check out what time was it? Check out this time here around 8 8:00 to 9:00. You see how we're consolidating on this asset that was originally weaker over here. Where's 8:00? It's right here. Here's 8 o'clock. What are we doing? We're expanding throughout this whole hour basically. So, here is nine o'clock right here. This whole R is expanding. Well, this asset is doing what? It's more so consolidating. Literally, it's just consolidating. Okay. Why is that? Um, it's so this asset can catch up. Okay. Um, so I'm telling you like you need these assets to be uh you need to see some sort of strength switching ideally and the asset sweeps, you want it to reverse. Okay. So, that's just a quick example. Not going to go too deep into it because that's in my last video, I think. So, let's exit out there. This video is getting long now. Uh this PA here is something I took. You can see this is very tough PA for sure. I took a trade like almost every day in this PA. Um and you can navigate through this with this type of stuff. So uh let's go over some of the the trades. So let's go over here like let's look at this strength switching stuff. So you see how we kind of expand here and we have a really deep retracement. Now let's compare that to ES. You see this really shallow retracement and even more shallow retracement. So it's like none of these assets over here are showing any sort of uh reversal in a sense. So like even the weakest asset is showing a continuous signature because do you see how we this expansion was created in like five candles while the retracement is created in like 30 or something or 20. That's already a it's very lackluster in the weakest asset. What's the trigger for this asset to to actually uh expand? It's when this asset switches momentarily to the stronger asset. Okay, so that's what we see here. You can kind of see here like we we create this these highs like 2000 over here. We take them out where 2100 over here is like it's up here. So that's the form of string switching right there. Um so that's why I actually traded this asset here and that's on my Twitter. This is more recent stuff. This is 15 of May. And even if you look intra intraday here, you have a two-stage SMT where if I go to the lower time frame here, boom, here's one. Here's one SMT followed by another SMT right here. That's what you saw me take. So, if I just like bar play some of the stuff here, you see that we take out this low. Okay. Boom. There's your SMT. And then right here at 9:15 is the low of of this where we take out 9:15 right here. So here's 9:15 low. So there's your Tuesday SMT. And what we can pair this with is with a driver. So you see how we we create this SMT right prior to the driver. That's another thing. If you create a a Tuesday SMT prior to a driver, it should do what? It should expand. Um, so if you look at my my trades today on on NQ, today is May 20th. Go on ENQ. We have a a form of two SMG. This is something I don't teach, but there is a two SMT prior to driver. You see the driver expand into those lower resistance lows. Um, but right here we have an SMT prior to driver. So we see 930 expand away from that. That's very good, right? And then form a two two-stage SMT. Uh if we already have some sort of reversal prior to 10 a.m. what should it do? Just expand, right? We know it's going to expand because of the strength switch like prior to even this right here. It's just very choppy for sure. But you know we we expanded right here. This is a form of like seek and destroy which is a continuous signature. So we have the strength switch already. We already know it's going to expand likely. Uh we we do expand away from that. you know before the news or before 9:30 we kind of have this seek and destroy uh kind of signature right you you can kind of see on the higher side from here like this is seek and destroy which is a continuous signature as we expand again but anyways uh I think there's some more stuff I was going to show you all around this area so I traded this like I said I traded this as well I'll show you all this, too. So, you guys are getting a lot of [ __ ] here. I'm not gonna lie. So, if you look here, like we leaving these equal highs. We're over here. We're t we're having this higher high here. And over here, we're we're leaving these highs. So, remember when I said like this is not an ideal SMT. Remember this? Because why? When we actually created this SMT, we didn't expand away from it. We created a new higher high. So, it's lower probability, right? So when do I trust this? Well, one thing is it has to hold. So the S&P is holding as you see. What's the trigger for this to actually reverse? It's a shrink switch. So what do you see here is 9:00 is the high at this little pullback where 8:00 is the high right here. So there is your two-stage crack correlation right there. And that's when you see the move. I mean, I can't make this [ __ ] up, guys. It's like if there's an enigma, it's this type of [ __ ] And I'm only showing you like half of it, but No one else will show you this [ __ ] for free. Like I guarantee you. But I I I'm viewing this as what, guys? I'm viewing this as a it's lower probability. So I already told you guys this is likely a retracement. Okay? Because this technically is like if we go take the you can already see it. It's consolidation. Like we're in a consolidation range. So I want to trade higher to actually target these highs. That's where we get two stage S&T right here. So it ends up being a little ugly. But you see how nine o'clock is the the low here. Over here it's 10 o'clock, right? And we actually trade into this low first. So it's a bit weird, but there's a form of two crackition here. And I even I'm not even referring to like a swing point in this case. It gets like really ugly, but that stuff it doesn't even matter. Like it's just this uh CSD right here. that was a trigger for the expansion into these low resistance highs. But anyways, uh yeah, I mean you see on both sides here, I don't remember if I traded anything. This is kind of a blur. This is like last week or something. Pretty [ __ ] horrible PA for sure. Maybe I traded on like these assets. I know I took a loss. Yeah. Yeah. So I did. So I took a loss this day. I long this day on YM. I long this day on YM. Uh I longed this on RTY. Uh right here. And then today I shorted or sorry today I Oh yeah, today this is today I shorted in Q. So here's the S&P here. Okay. Then I also uh longed RTY. Okay. Uh, and yeah, that's really all I have. No, never mind. We have one more. Okay, we have one more. So, if I go here, this this PA here, what do we have? We have SMT between bodies. So, you see how we close below over here. But, so let's go to Forex now. But on this asset, we do not. So, that's one cracking correlation, right? And then we see an expansion away from that. We see this asset actually take out this high over here. We're really far away from that high. So, what's the ideal scenario for trading a a uh lagging asset? We want it to switch stronger. So, what do we have here? A SMT, a bullish SMT where it's actually an SMT right here. At this time, there's an SMT here, but you know, it's going to be fake because of this what you're seeing right here. Okay. Um, it's also between or inside of the new week opening gap. It's another really high probable signature. So this is right here is very high probable what you're seeing right here. Uh and if I go to the lower time frame, I think there was some sort of strength switch. I just don't remember. So here you see clearly we're bullish. We're stronger. But what are we creating right here is a lower low. Well, on this asset we're creating a higher low. Okay. So that's another form of two-stage SMT. Okay. So, it doesn't have to be immediately like remember that roof that I told you guys about where it's it's a strength switch SMT or a two-stage. It can also be in the distribution leg away from the SMT. Okay? So, I'm going to leave you guys with that. Um, if you guys would drop me a subscribe and a like or whatever, show some love. If you guys learned something, give me a comment. What do you guys want to see? Give me some comment ideas uh in the comments section. And uh if you guys want more videos, I will create more videos, but these take a lot of time to make the slides and whatnot. Um so I'll try to get another video when you guys give me ideas out maybe within the next couple of weeks or whatnot. I don't have a schedule when to do this and whatnot, but I'm really serious about doing that boot camp if you guys really want that. Uh it'll be one of the better boot camps out there. I promise you. just by just by this video you get a glimpse of of the caliber of concept or whatnot. But I will leave you all with that, man. I hope you guys learn something. I really want to see y'all succeed. Um that's why I I would I do want to share this stuff with you guys. Like I said, uh I will get to sharing more um about SMT in specific. I don't gateep anything else. This stuff is like it's really good. There's a couple reasons why I don't show everything, but uh hopefully you guys learned something here. And what else, man? That's really it, man. I'll leave you off with that. You have a good one.
