What's up everybody? Welcome back. Today we're going to be covering the GXT 4hour profiling video. Highly anticipated. So, I appreciate y'all's patience. I think this video will be an eye openener for many. We got a lot to cover. So, let's get right into it. So, first thing we must understand is the different types of swing points, right? So, we're always confirming a reversal with a swing point. So, let's get into those different types. So, the first swing formation or reversal type is a C2 closure, right? This is the most common one, the easiest to identify. This is simply where you just wait for a C2 closure. A C2 closure is visibly shown by the failure to close below the previous candle's low. As you see, this signifies a reversal and that we can trade the next candle higher. Right? So essentially candle two is manipulation, candle three is distribution. Now this next one takes a little bit more experience. This is something I used every single day across all time frames. It's essentially when candle one hits a key level, right? Or even candle 2 hits a key level. You have to hit a key level to even anticipate a reversal, right? So the difference between this candle here and you know this swing point here. So they're both candle twos, right? This is a candle two. This is also a candle too. But what's the difference? It's the wick size. So if you've seen my candle profiling video, you would understand this. But essentially since this candle does not support expansion, even if there's a key level here, we can't trade it as a candle too. You want to wait for that because we want to trade expansion candles. So since this candle doesn't support expansion given the large wick, the large displacement away from that opening price, you would simply wait for candle 3 to open to trade the expansion. This is a bit different where we're opening near that low. So we already know it's likely to get taken out. So when it does, right, and we create some sort of reversal confirmation, you know, this wick is confirmed. Since it supports expansion, it can reverse into expansion. It's still a reversal candle, but it's also an expansion candle because of the the small wick. So, that's the difference there. Now, this next one is simply where you don't have a candle 2 closure. You don't sweep at the previous candle's low. Um, so you kind of wait for a candle three closure, right? Um, so once you have a candle three closure, a candle three closure is essentially when you close above candle 2's uh body or high, right? Then you can trade candle 4. that would confirm the swing point. Shout out to T trades for all these swing formations, by the way. So, this is um specifically to the re it's really specifically to the 4our for me. This this here um also the daily as well, but really specific the 4 hour this swing formation here. So, it's essentially this it is this, right? But you're actually trading candle three. So it's basically when the previous candle hits a key level and there's no reversal visibly shown on the time frame, you know, this time frame that we're seeing here, but on the lower time frame there is. So pretend this is the 4hour time frame and within this wick here, we obviously trade a key level. So we can anticipate reversal, but we it's not going to reverse within this candle because of the the large opposing run. So, you're going to wait. You're still going to wait for the new candle open. But there's a difference when we can anticipate this candle not taking this low. Like I said, it's when there is a reversal within this candle's wick or this candle's range, right? Whether that's a lower time frame swing point confirming it or some type of CSD, you know, whatever you use. I use swing points to confirm these lows. So, essentially, if this candle's low is created from a swing point and this candle is opening up within it, then I can trade that away. So now let's go over key levels. I really only focus on three key levels and mainly it's highs and lows and fair value gaps, right? So highs and lows are what you frame reversals from. And um and also retracements, right? So once you hit a higher low, we can form a retracement. Once you hit a higher low, we can frame reversal. Now fair value gaps in order blocks are for continuations. So when price retraces into a fair value gap, we will continue away from it. Um also after reversal, we expect fair value gaps and order blocks to support price higher in expansion. So really these are the only key levels that I really care about. So this is what I'm looking for swing formations to form from to trade away from. Now these are the models. So essentially like these are key levels, but they're essentially just reversal points and targets, right? That's what a model is really. This is the universal framework we use on all time frames. So specifically, I'm using this every single day to confirm the high and low of the day. So we all know what internal to external range is. It's essentially when market trades into a fair value gap. I'm not going to show you what a fair value gap is. There's a million videos on it. Price trades into a fair value gap. It expands away trading into the external range, right? We create a swing formation. So in this case, this is that candle three swing formation, right? where you know we can trade candle three let's say this is a 4 chart maybe candle 2 hits a key level doesn't have that reversal but maybe within it we do right or maybe when price starts to expand away it confirms a reversal right maybe by CST or something then we can trust to trade away from this low here as long as the candle that we're trading within supports expansion that's really all that matters so here maybe you do wait for this swing formation well now you have a valid candle 3 closure because it closes above candle 2's high so Now you can trade candle 4 into this you know external range high rate marking out EQ of that previous candle's range which we'll talk about a little bit in a minute or later on we expect candle for expansion into this high right forming this would like form the low of day for example right so in this case right we have price trading into external range liquidity right this can be any time frame this can be the daily time frame let's say the previous day traded into the high Right? Closes a a candle 2. This would simply be candle two. The previous day manipulation this next day distribution into internal range. So the previous day manipulation of external range the next day distribution into internal range. Right? This also be the 4hour chart too, right? This can be Asia session, right? Manipulation, London session back into the daily range. Maybe Asia made a fair value gap or something like that. Right? This is one of my favorite models to trade on all time frames and it would be the order pairing ranges or just a manipulation of a higher low in distribution into the opposing side of the range. It's favorable when the opposing side of the range is failure swings like this. So essentially this is when let's say candle one trades into the low right we can already anticipate a potential reversal. So if we're going to reverse since this candle didn't do it we would ideally want to reverse off this candle's low. So this is how you can anticipate a candle 2 reversal into expansion, right? So here is a valid, you know, swing formation. Candle three closure confirms a swing. Here is a valid swing formation where candle 2 confirms a swing and this is a valid um candle 2 reversal to expansion given the wick size. So you see how large this wick is, you can't trade it, right? You can only trade this one because the wick size, right? You can also trade obviously this candle three because the draw and liquidity is still open. So this is the framework I'm using to frame the high and low of the day every single every single day, right? So what do we what is the goal of GXT? It's essentially to align expansion candles in one direction. So just like I showed you here from these key levels, I'm trying to align multiple expansion candles away from that key level, away from the low of the day. So the low of the day is going to be put in from some sort of key level, right? Then I'm waiting for basically waiting once I hit that key level. I'm basically waiting to see if the current 4hour candle supports expansion away from that key level. If it doesn't, I'm essentially going to wait for the next 4hour candle to open up to realign itself with expansion. Then I can trade the expansion away. Within that 4hour candle, I'm trading 1 hour and 30 minute swing formations. Right? So all I'm doing is just aligning expansion candles like I said. Right? So that's what this would look like, right? We hit a key level, for example. We expand away, right? Let's say this is New York session. I can't trade this, right? Why? Because the current 4hour candle we're in does not support expansion higher. So what I wait for the new 4hour candle to open, right? The daily supports expansion at this point, but the 4hour candle does not. So I'm waiting for candles to realign bullish. So essentially all this for candle was responsible for was retracing. So as you see this is an example of this candle here is not a C2 closure but within it what did it do? This is why it's important to understand um that you know we don't actually need a C2 closure for example because within that candle we have a C2 closure and a key level being hit. So we expect you know this this expansion to occur when that new 4hour candle opens up right. So here you can actually trade this you can anticipate this low should not be taken right because of that lower time for reversal within that candle that previous candle. So then you would just trade this next 4hour candle higher, right? And if you wanted to wait for extra confirmation, now you have a candle three closure closing above this candle's high, then you could, you know, trade this candle as well, right? Because at this point, this is already supporting expansion. So now we're going to get into profiling the 4hour chart. So with Forex traders, you're essentially going to be focused on the 1:00 a.m., the 5:00 a.m., the 9:00 a.m. candle. 1:00 a.m. represents the London session. 2 to 5 a.m. are what we're going to focus on because that is the kill zone. 5 a.m. represents the New York session. So, New York continuation/reversal. We're focused on the hours of 7 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. because that is the kill zone. And then as well as the 9:00 am continuation verse uh or not reverse but the 9:00 am New York continuation reversal you're going to be focused on 9:00 a.m. really to around 11. You can cut off at PM or 12:00 p.m. but forex probably want to stop by 11 I would I would say. Right. Um so these little if then statements right the ones we really care about are the ones down here. If 1 a.m. manipulates, then 5 a.m. should continue. If 5 a.m. manipulates, then 9:00 a.m. should continue. If 9:00 a.m. manipulates, then PM should continue, right? Essentially, if the 4hour candle does not support expansion, the current 4-hour candle you're trading, right, does not support expansion, even if it's a key level, you're going to wait for the next 4hour candle to open. All right, that is a filter for price. waiting for candles to align and aligning expansion candles in one direction. So basically this is a filter for price, right? It allows you to time high probable entries because you are trading within expansion candles, multiple expansion candles. That's why this model is very good, right? So futures traders, this is what I trade. London session is going to represent the 2 a.m. candle, right? 2 to 5 am New York 6 a.m. New York session. So basically the AM session um is going to be between or um the 6 a.m. New York continuation/re reversal will be 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. I don't care about the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. They're not relevant especially on indices. Um and the 10 a.m. candle um continuation versus reversal. We're going to be focusing on the hours of 10 am to 12 pm, right? I don't really care about um 12 pm, 13, 100. I don't care about that, right? Um so really, you're only focused on two hours. You only focus on the last half of the 6 a.m. candle and the first half of the 10 a.m. candle, right? So really, it's a four. You're really trading for like four hours a day, you know? That's really all you're trading. So the if then statements, right? If 2 a.m. manipulates and 6 a.m. should continue. If 6 a.m. manipulates, then uh 10 a.m. should continue. If 10 a.m. manipulates, then 1400 should continue. And again, same rule here. You want to wait for expansion candles to align. Now, let's go ahead and move on. So, with the London reversal, again, whatever you're going to frame the high and lows of day from key levels, right? So, 1 hour and 4 hour key levels or above should form the high and low of the day. Right? I'm not going to use a 15-minute key level, 30-minut key level. Ideally, it's 1 hour and above. Right? So, here we have internal to external. So, the daily is opening low first. Right? As you see, the London session does engage with this key level and you can trade it. Why can you trade it? Because the small wick, the small wick supports expansion. So, reversal into expansion. Here is an example of order pairing ranges. So, the day opens low. You see that Asia session hits this low but does not reverse. So we want to reverse off that previous council's low. Um and we do right we have that small wick. So we can simply trade it right as well. Over here this would be external to internal. So maybe the previous day expanded right and then we open low into the previous day's low. Right? That's your external range. Since we expanded the previous day that creates a gap from the previous day that we can then target for external to internal range. Right? We can also trade this, right? Because it supports expansion. But if it didn't support expansion, we'd wait for this 6 a.m. candle to trade back into the range, right? So here's example of maybe the previous day expanded, created a order block within the previous candle's range, right? The day opens low into it, right? Asia session hits the lows, we reverse all the Asia lows, right? We can trade it because it supports expansion. So any reversal profile that you're trading will essentially just take out the previous candle's low, right? All right. So, this is an a London reversal. It has to take out the previous candle's low on that 4hour time frame because it's it's it's a reversal candle. Does that make sense? So, it's basically going to be a reversal to expansion candle. So, here's a New York continuation. This is 6 a.m. continuation. So, this is basically when Asia or London puts a low of the day in. So, in this case, this is Asia session or sorry, London session puts a low of the day in here. So if it puts on a low day, what can we expect? We can trade this next candle higher, right? We already have the C2 closure or some lower time frame confirmation. So all you got to do is confirm the low of this wick. How you going to confirm the low of this wick? With the 1 hour and 30 minute swing point, right? We confirmed the high and low of the day with 4 hour swing points. We confirmed the low and high of four candles with 1 hour and 30 minute swing points, which we're not going to go over today. We can go over that in a part two, right? So in this case, here's your order pairing ranges example. Here's your external to internal range example. Here's your order block example, right? So again, just because this candle is not a reversal candle, doesn't mean it can't reverse, right? There could be a lower time reversal, right? So maybe within this candle, there's a 1 hour swing point, etc. Or maybe a 30 minute 60, 15 minute, whatever you require, right? But you're not going to trade this here away from this key level. Why? Because it does not support expansion. So, you're going to wait for this 6 a.m. to continue away from that 2 am low. So, now this is 10 a.m. continuation. So, 10 a.m. continuation is when either 2 am sets a low of day or 6 a.m. sets a low of day. Doesn't matter. So, here's an example of 6 a.m. setting the low of day hitting internal range, right? And then 10 a.m. continues towards a session highs. Here's order pairing ranges where 6 a.m. puts a low day in. Here's external to internal and here's 2 am putting a low of day in. Right? As long as there is a draw liquidity open for 10 a.m. you can trade continuation. But let's say we expand prior like we expand a very large range prior to 10 a.m. you don't really want to look for a 10 a.m. continuation especially if the draw equity is already taken. So that's a little tip for you. So the 6 a.m. 4hour reversal. This is the ideal New York reversal, right? So within the 6M candle, you want to be trading the and pairing your framework with drivers. So the 83 driver and the 9:30 driver. This is why it is preferred to have a 6 a.m. reversal to form the high and low day in a New York reversal because you're essentially pairing that with the driver because the drivers reside within that 6 a.m. 4-hour time window. So it it's very ideal that is it a 6 a.m. reversal. So, your best trades are probably going to be 6 a.m. manipulation, 10 a.m. continuation. If you just waited for that, if you just traded the 10 a.m. candle, uh, you will do great. You'll do fine. Okay? There's plenty of opportunities within that one 4 hour candle, you know, literally the first hour of that 4hour candle, the first two hours. Um, so yeah, that's another tip there. So, here's an example. All right, previous sessions hit a key level, right? Where Asia, you know, London hits this key level, doesn't reverse. So, we got to roll that over to the next session. If London is not going to reverse, then we got to have um ideally, you know, uh New York to reverse. I couldn't talk. Sorry. And ideally the drivers to reverse, right? If you haven't seen my driver video, go and watch it. One of the most consistent things you're going to see. Um it's very good. And uh yeah, so here's an example of order pairing ranges, right? Where previous session consolidate. Well, we want 6 a.m. to go and manipulate, right? As long as it has that small wick, we can trade it, right? If it doesn't have the small wick, can't trade it. Then you'd be trading the 10 a.m. continuation, right? So here's an example of XR internal and just order block continuations basically, right? So here is the 10mium reversal, which is not my favorite. There is a there's some nuances to the 10 a.m. reversal um which we'll get into. I don't know if I have some examples of that but a lot of times you can trade the 10 a.m. counter. So what that what that really is is let's say we expand very large you know over overnight or just the AM session whatever and the 10 a.m. opens. So basically the daily range is already capped off. It's already you know expanded. You can share the 10 a.m. back to the range. This is a bit different where it actually forms a low day and is actually creating the bulk of that daily candle. So, it's a this is a bit different. Um, this is specific, okay? When the driver trades into a key level. So, for example, like you you open up the 6M candle and we haven't hit a key level yet really. So when the drivers expand into a key level, right, but they don't reverse, the reason why they won't reverse, for example, is because maybe the opening price is really far away or whatnot, or maybe they just maybe they just hit that key level like late into the the end of that 6 a.m. candle or something like that, right? This is when you can actually anticipate a 10 reversal to be like more higher probable. The reason why you don't want a 10 reversal majority of the time is because when those drivers fail to reverse, it's not really a good s that's not a good sign if they don't fail to reverse. Like you want the six amp count to reverse. So that's why I say that. Um and I have an example of this actually. Yeah, I do actually. So that's good. So again, I'm not going to go over this. We've already seen this, right? So now let's go into the GXT ideal profile. This is where the low of the day the the daily wick is formed from SMT manipulation, right? So basically the low of day is created from protected swing creating the wick. So what do we do after manipulation or once a protective swing is created? We expand, right? That expansion creates the body of the candle, right? So now you're just aligning 4hour expansion candles away from this the low of the area. So basically this 2 a.m. candle here forms the low of the day, right? You're not going to trade this candle. Why? Because it does not support expansion. Pretty large wick. You're just going to simply wait to align yourself with expansion. Does that make sense? So that is the GXT ideal swing or profile. So now let's get into putting it all together here. So this is an expansion candle, right? Continuation, right? You're just working off the previous candle's range. So you're going to mark out the EQ of that previous candle's range if we're going to continue right within that previous candle's range. There can be a gap left within the previous day's range to actually form the low from. Right? So this is where the day opens low into that gap that is or resides within that previous day's range. Right? Then we're just trading a 4hour profile. So really all we're trading is 4hour expansion candles away from this key level. That's really it, right? Which if this wick supports expansion, right, we can trade it, right? So this is internal to external trading 4hour expansion candles away from it. Now this is a C2 expansion candle, right? So this is a daily reversal to expansion candle, right? So let's say the previous day expanded into a key level. So we can already anticipate reversal. So if this candle trade into a key level but didn't reverse, well, we want to trade, we want to manipulate that previous candle's low to reverse from ideally, right? So this an example of us reversing off of that external range low, which is the previous low. And you know, this is external to internal, right? We're just trading 4hour expansion candles away from that, right? So here is premium discount of that previous candle's range, right? we can target around EQ or the previous you know day's high which is some sort of external range high or simply just a fair value gap that resides in that previous candle's range. So here's an example of what I mentioned earlier of you actually fading a um daily candle. So, the only way you can do this, guys, is if the previous day expanded a lot, like overnight or like I said before 10 a.m. or something like that, where it hits a key level, right? Like a daily key level. So, you can already anticipate some sort of reversal candle, you know, forming there or some sort of reaction. That's the only way you can trade this reversal candle, right? The only way you should be trading it. So essentially what you're going to be you're going to be fading the daily candle, but you're going to be trading a 4hour expansion candle back into the daily range. So you you're not you are fading the daily candle, but we already know that we can tr we can fade a daily candle, right? But we know that price cannot expand past this open. So our targets we need to adjust our targets. We can't be targeting key level or objectives way beyond the daily open way up here. It can't it's not going to work. It's not going to work at ever because of the large wick, right? We know that price can close, you know, we don't know where it's going to close, but we know it's going to close somewhere, you know, you know, wherever, right? So, if this is going to form the low day, we know it's going to form the the day is going to, you know, close back within this range somewhere in here, right? We can target either, you know, the you know, maybe some relevant uh high or something back within the daily range, maybe external range liquidity or internal, sorry, it's an example of external to internal. So either the external you know key level is way to the left or maybe it's created within the same day. So maybe this is Asia expansion London low New York manipulation of London low right 10 a.m. opens up, right? We already have a reversal within the previous 4hour candle because it hit a key level, which is an hourly low here. And then we can trade that TM candle back within the daily range. Right? This is this is an example of the previous day is a reversal candle. So, we're expecting this next day to expand within that previous day's range. We have a relevant low. So when manipulated right this creates a protected swing which you know confirms this low of the day which is the GXT ideal profile right like I said the ideal scenario when manipulating is you know opposing failure swings on the other side of that that um range to targets that's always ideal now we're just confirm the low with a swing formation rate and ideally SMT so this is trading another C2 2 candle. This is for the forex traders, right? This is order pairing ranges. So, we manipulate the previous day's high back within that previous day. We have a bunch of fair swings to target, right? So, just going from range high to range low. Now, we're just trading 4hour expansion candles away from that. So, we wouldn't be trading this 1 a.m. candle. So, this is technically a a London reversal. We'd be waiting for that New York continuation because this doesn't support expansion. You just don't know where it's going to close, right? It could close here, close here. You don't know. So, you don't wait for this candle to expand. And it's also not going to travel very far past the open because of the candle profile. So, that's all I have for here. Now, let's get into these examples here. So, here what do we have? Let's go to the daily time frame. So, with this previous week here, we have an expansion as you see. So, we can definitely expect a new pace of price. So, a lot of times you can be very one-sided on a Monday. This idea that you can't trade Monday, not true. Especially when the previous week actually hits a key level or expands, right? Here's the reason why. So, here's the logic. If we're going to rever, if there's going to be a reversal week, when are we going to reverse? Early on in the week. Typically, right, off of this candle's high. More than likely, we're going to reverse early on in the week. So, it makes sense that you can trade Monday back to the range, right? If you're going to have some sort of profile like daily profile that supports the idea. But also, if we're going to continue from this range here, when would we open low f first or how if we're going to continue, how are we going to continue typically, right? We're going to open low first and go higher. That's how a bullish candle forms typically, right? So, when are we going to open low? Early on the week. So, you're one-sided bearish, right? going into the week, when are you likely to, you know, consolidates, right, after expansion, when the candle opens, right? So, either way, it's like even it's going to consolidate or retrace, blah blah blah, you can't be bullish this this this day, right? Because you you would expect a new page of price typically, right? It's just like this week here. It's like if we're going to continue like if this if we're going to reverse this week for example and if we're going to continue off this candle's range like you're going to see the low of these candles probably made really early early on the week. Uh this is Wednesday, this is Tuesday. So typically like Monday through Wednesday is going to you're going to reverse, right? You're likely going to reverse or retrace early on the week. So that's what we have here, right? where it just makes sense because here the daily is opening high first and we're leaving a gap right so in this case you don't want to want to trade Asia session so you would trade what London session a manipulation of this high so as you see what forms the high of this 2M candle sorry is a CSD on the 1 hour time frame, but also a swing commission on the 2 a.m. candle, right? So, this forms the high of the 2M candle. Now, you have to ask yourself, we hit a key level to form the high of day, a 1 hour and above key level. We have a drawn liquidity. The candle profile supports it. It's opening high first. The logic makes sense to retrace back in this range or whatnot to fill this gap. So now you're asking yourself, does the current 4hour candle support bearishness or expansion expansion? So obviously it does, right? As you see that small wick. So then you can trade these expansion candles to this low. It's as simple as that, right? So this would be your target essentially or the the gap fill, you know, whatever you want. Right now with this previous day's close, this looks very good to continue from. Right? What do we have? A bunch of failure swings. You have a gap here. So this could just be right price returning into a gap. This can be a high set from draw liquidity. So what are we going to do? We're going to look for a key level back within this previous candle's range, right? So whatever key level is, you know, by the daily open, that's really what we care about. This could form the potential high and low today. So do we have a key level? Sometimes you don't. So in this case, you do, right? Look within the previous candles range. We have a 4hour gap. And even better, right? We open high first into that gap, right? and we create SMT with the range high. So this is a very strong signature in price essentially where price creates a fair swing. That fair swing is created from a gap and SMT with range high. This is a very high probable signature especially with the candle profile supporting it. Right? And look at all these fair swings like very one-sided, right? So look at the high of the day. It's formed from a 6 a.m. New York reversal and a 10M continuation. We can actually trade this reversal as you see right. Why? Because it hits the key level. It's the candle that actually creates the SMT but also let me delete this. But also it supports expansion. So you see how we can trade candle twos. We don't have to wait for the close necessarily. Um so if you look here what forms the high of that in 1 hour swing, right? What do we have a CSD in the hourly time frame? It's up to you like what you want to require. I don't require an hourly 60, but it's there in this case. But 9:30 as you see. So if this is going to be a high of day or this is going to be a bearish day, then what do we want the driver to do? We want it to reverse. So here's 9:30. The driver as you see it creates SMT with ENQ here and puts in a reversal. So if 9:30 reversed, what should 10M do or the 6M candle also reverse? You know, 9:30 as well. TAM should just continue lower. So this is when you can trade, you know, whatever you trade, right? So here's continuation order blocks. Um, you know, maybe you trade just the 30 minute opposing candle here. That's fine, too, right? Many ways to trade. Um, I'm going to show you guys, you know, multiple different ways to trade this, but yeah, this would be just be this, right? You have the 10 a.m. opening here. So once it closes above these opposing candles, now you can assume that the high the TM candle is protected by these opposing candles essentially per stop loss here and you let it ride right into your overall draw liquidity especially just the previous low here. So that's an example there. Hopefully that makes sense. Now let's move on. So with this is a interesting example. Well, I don't want to show you guys the most, you know, you know, like perfect examples or whatever. And I had, man, I had a I had a um example of a Asia reversal. So, this is kind of scuffed here, guys. I don't know why I didn't show this. Kind of annoying. This is supposed to be in here, but it's not. So, obviously showed you guys a London reversal. But what about an Asia reversal? This this doesn't necessarily have to be formed from a swing point, right? And this is just essentially when the day opens up and just starts expanding, right? So the way you're going to trade this is you're just going to be either two things. You're either going to be trading continuation from the previous 4hour range. So you're wanting the previous, you know, upper half to respect, right, this range. So to to support expansion. So that small wick, you're basically just trading a forex expansion account away from the little day, right? Just like I have mentioned, right? Um or above the daily open, right? So here's the daily open. Above it, there's going to be some form of swing formation that forms, right? So basically price expands, retraces, puts in swing formation. This swing formation confirms reversal. So basically expansion, retracement, the C2 kind of caps off the retracement. The next candle expands. Does that make sense? Um, so I wanted to add this in there because it's very important because a lot of times Asia session can be high and low of the day. So it's really good to know and that's what you see here. So with this weekly profile as you see this is Monday's open here and Monday expands higher and we inside bar within Monday's range throughout the whole week really. Um, so what is this? This a consolidation profile. At this point, the weekly candle is more so supporting a bullish wick because of the small wick on the on the uh you know the lows, right? So price expanded pretty far away from the weekly open. So I'd be favoring this as a manipulation to really return back in this range, but we know it can't really expand really far away because you're going to see that this is a bank holiday. So, it's capturing Thursday and Friday in one range, but this is not a the day you're going to look at here. It's not a bearish candle whatsoever. So, here's the opening price. So, essentially the previous day, the bank holiday trades so low, we just instantly open up and expand away. That's what I mean by this. Prices open up, expand away. So, when you see this kind of happen, um, in this specific scenario, it's like you know that price is not likely to get all the way up here. one because that daily range is going to be huge for one like this daily range is already massive at this point but also the the weekly candle profile doesn't really support that. So when price returns back into this range and we have an internal manipulation, this can form the high of day, right? So this is an example of 6 a.m. forming the high of day, right? Um and there's no candle to closure as you see. But when you look within this candle, what do we have a reversal? So we have 9:00 a.m. So we're pairing a driver or sorry, we're pairing a manipulation with the driver. So 9:30 reverses price. That's pretty significant. So 10 a.m. opens up within that reversal within the previous candle's range. So as you see like this candle does not reverse. Why? Because it doesn't support expansion. When does it actually reverse? When the new candle opens. Right? Pretty random, right? What about this here as well? So here you have a nice V-shaped signature, right? You trade into low and then expand away like this. So you see how we have a C2 candle above the daily open. So this can be a area to reaccumulate to continue you know away from that low of the day right from this gap really and get to some sort of draw liquidity which is this little range high. Does that make sense? So that's an example of this actually here example of this a C2 closure above the daily open. Okay. Um so that's an example there. Also had this example here. These are just days where um they have like interesting profiles. So I want to show you guys. So here you see Asia session just expands creates the whole daily range right this is when you can expect the next sessions to retrace because we cannot expand forever. That's one thing we we really can't do right what do we also trade into this daily swing low right so we can expect some new phase of price um you can't expand forever. So this is when you know London or New York can retrace back in this range. But we also can't the other thing we can't do is expand past this this daily open. Why? Because look how far price traded away from this this opening price. So you see this this is an expansion candle, right? So you would expect this to be some sort of retracement and that retracement decapped off at some point. So you know that price is going to close below this opening price, right? So when this 10 a.m. candle here trades into the supposed candle or just premium of the range, you can just trade this candle, you know, back lower essentially. So this is like a PM trade. So like 1400. See how the logic is the same. Um it doesn't really matter what um kind of you know thing you're trading. It doesn't really matter what time you trade blah blah blah blah does not matter. Um I remember I traded this as well. It's kind of random, but here's a manipulation. here. What forms is the low of day? It is 2 a.m. You have an SMT here. I I do believe. Let me just double check that. I don't remember. Okay, you do. I don't know how I remember that. Yeah, you have an SMD here. I guess it's on ES, right? What? Where's my drawing go? Weird. I don't know where my drawings went, but here you have an SMD here, right? And I remember I traded this high, right? Here's the candle profile, right? It opens low first, right? Just trading back in this range. Anyways, let's move on to another example. All right. So, with this, what did the previous week do? Expanded, right? So, if this is going to be another expansion week, do we have a key level that is from the previous week's range? Or are we, you know, are we have do we have a key level around the weekly open? Why do we want to why do we want key levels from or around the opening price of the candle that we're trading? It's because we want closer proximity key levels so they support expansion. So, the the candle low can trade into it and have that small wick. If it's a key level that's really far away, then obviously that would create a large wick, right? Because price have to travel very far, which doesn't support expansion. So, we don't want to trade that, right? So, in this case, we have Monday opening high first, which is not really ideal like this can support some retracement lower because opening high first, right? And then we have price leaving these kind of like these finger swings, right? And then price trades into slow creates gap SMT. So if I show you these assets, none of these other assets trade into a gap as you see. So you have SM2 with a gap there. Where why are my drawings disappearing? What the hell, man? Where are my drawings disappear? Okay, that's weird. It's over here. So here you have um that SMT, right, with that previous low within a gap. So you can already anticipate what a reversal to expansion candle on the daily time frame because the previous day hit a key level, right? And now you have SMT confirming that low. That's great, right? So I go to the 4hour time frame here. What do we have? 6 a.m. manipulation. What can we expect to expect to do? Expand, right? It's also a strength switch. Why is strength switch? Notice how this is the candle that manipulated, right? That is in discount of a range. Look where ENQ and ES and YM are, right? They're in premium of a range. And look at this close here, guys. Look at the close. Look at the wick size. So, it's showing, you know, strength basically. Look at ES here. This 6M close. It's closing a with a large body. Right over here is with a large body as well. You have an SMT right here. So, that is obviously a strength switch, right? Boom. There's your two-stage SMT. So, you can trade this higher, right? If I go to the 1 hour time frame, here is your two station right here. Right happened even sooner actually. So here you manipulate prior to 9 9:30. So what does the 9:00 candle do which has 9:30 in it? It expands away, right? So again there's this drivers, right? Very consistent. We already know this. We also have a V-shaped signature that is a sign of reversal. You guys should know that. What do you have on the opposing side of that consolidation? So when 10 a.m. opens here, right, it has that intrakle CSD which is a T trade concept. But basically price expands away from the T&M open, right? Forms a order block. Now I can assume that the T&M low is put in because it's protected by an order block, right? We should expect order blocks to support a price higher right into our draw liquidity and we can target to our to our draw there. Hopefully that one makes sense. It is a 6 a.m. reversal 10 a.m. continuation right and we're not going to trade this 6 a.m. candle. We're going to wait for the 10 a.m. candle ideally. Now one way you can trade one way you can trade a reversal candle is under a couple of conditions. It's when the profile supports it ideally, right? So, in this case, does it really support it? Kind of. Not really. It's kind of a weird profile where it kind of opens high first and opens low. That's not ideal, right? Um, you also need like higher time frame, right? So, the high time frame definitely supports it. Like, for sure higher time frame supports it. But the most important part really is you need to be trading away from the low of the day, right? Okay, the 6M candle or the candle that you're trying to fade has to be and it's always going to be the 6 a.m. candle. Actually, it's always going to be 6 a.m. candle. I'll show you. I'll say no reason in a minute. But, um, you want the 6M candle to form the high and low of day, right? You want it to be manipulation. So, you want to be trading manipulation, always manipulation because this is where like it's likely to form that reversal candle um, and just close like high within its range or whatnot. And there also needs to be SMT. Why didn't you get SMT? So you can know it's an actual reversal. Like that way it actually forms a reversal candle. But here's how you position yourself within this candle. Or another thing like you have to have a driver by the way. So the 6M candle, why do we trade a 6M candle? Because that's what the majority of the drivers are within. So the reason why you can trade a reversal candle, you know, within a driver is because we have the extra volatility to also expand within that same candle, right? So that's kind of the logic there, right? With with fading uh candles and you know with 930 also just expanding away from this reversal like you have extra confirmation. But here's how you actually position yourself. You want to take the opening price of that candle to the low of the candle that you assume to be the reversal. And ideally you want to enter in the lower half of this candle's range. Right? Why? Because you don't know where this candle's going to close, right? You don't want to be entering super high in a reversal candle just to have the next candle, you know, take you out or whatever or just to have, you know, you think that the this candle is going to close way up here, but it ends up closing down here and takes you out. You know, you want to be positioned as low in that reversal candle as possible when it's a bearish candle and vice versa, right? So, your stop loss needs to be positioned in the lower half at least, right? So, that's how you want to approach it there if you wanted to trade or fade a 4hour candle. So yeah, it's going to be 6 a.m. drivers SMT. That's how you position yourself essentially. So moving on here on the daily chart, what do we have the previous week? We're just in a gap really. As you see, we're just in a gap. Previous week, we have this um swing formation that forms, right? And we kind of expand away from that. And this kind of retraces and we have an SMT here. If I go to Ethereum, I had to throw it. I had to throw crypto in here for you for you weirdos for real. But um here you see that none of these these days take out the previous candle's low obviously and this candle does. So when this day expands away, that confirms this swing point. So now I can expect Thursday to expand with that information, right? But we also leave these equal highs at target behind and we retrace into this gap. Right? So looking back within the previous candle's range. Can we continue away from that? Do we have a key level within it to continue away from on the 1 hour or 4 hour time frame? So here you have a 4hour key level. The daily opens low into it. We put in a reversal here and then we can expect expansion next candle. Right? So when I go to the 15-inut time frame for example, right? whatever you choose to trade. Many of you guys know the GXT alignment, whatnot. Here's the 15 minute that works perfect, right? You have that V-shaped reversal that confirms that's what you want to see within a C2 candle. You want to see these these reversal signatures. You want to see SMT, etc. So, here you have that Vshape reversal, that CSD, and then you're just trading the continuation order blocks um with, you know, while aligning expansion, right? So the daily supports expansion, the 4hour supports expansion, the 1 hour candle support expansion. Right? So now you see what you're doing here, right? You're aligning, you know, multiple time frame expansion handles in the same direction. So now let's move on. So here we are in silver. This is a trade that I took on gold though, but we're going to go over silver here. So with this weekly profile as you see or actually can show you a little bit better here. Here's the open price of that weekly candle. It's going to be open high for kind of like open low leave equal lows and then we open high leave equal highs. So what is this consolidation week? Right? So when we manipulate that low just like that second example I showed you guys or the first few example where we had that consolidation profile, we can return back within that range, right? Especially if the current 4hour C or the per the current daily candle supports that ID array. So here you have SMT with that low. So that obviously supports that idea for sure. But here's this day opening low first. You see that? So this wick is quite large quite large wick. So what can we target? Either the daily open or just above it because we know it's not going to really expand much past the opening price. So this fair value gap, what can this be? External to internal. So we have a 1 hour or 4 hour key level or or above right confirming the low of day. So here is a daily key level SMT. What do we have here? A swing point confirming the low of the day. But as you see Asia session hit this low but did not reverse. So we expect London session to put in the reversal. Right? We can trade this candle too as well. Why? Because it supports expansion. See that small wick? We can trade that. Or if you want to add, you know, if you come into New York session, I traded this in New York session. So I actually traded the 6 a.m. candle, right? Um higher into this this high. Obviously 10 a.m. I just held it into this high. So if you go to the 15-minut time frame, for example, you can trade that 2 a.m. reversal because we have that 15-minute CSD, whatever you require, right? Maybe you require a 30-minute CD, you know, whatever you require. So here you have that V-shaped signature that is reversal signature. So you can enter on the second, you know, you know, second CSD, whatever, fair value, blah, blah, blah. Doesn't really matter what you enter on it. It all works out because you have you're aligning expansion candles, right? The candle profile you're trading supports expansion the it makes sense on the weekly time frame for that, you know, consolidation profile. This is a relevant low on the higher time frame. There's SMT there. You know, the list goes on, right? It's very high probable this trade. You're also trading back to the weekly open blah blah blah. So that's an example of a GXT London reversal. Now let's get to the next example here. So here on this higher time frame or this weekly profile, price just opens up right into the previous low on Monday. We see we close back within the previous range and then expand, you know, back to the range into this relevant high. So this is where we can definitely anticipate some sort of reaction whether it's reversal retracement to trade back within this range and at this point it's kind of uh pretty interesting right because we have Monday or um the week basically supporting expansion if I show you here to small wick here that supports expansion. So, if we're going to continue away from this low, right, this key level, right, above the weekly open, so support price higher essentially. So, basically what this is is Monday, Tuesday expansion, Wednesday retracement, and a reversal off of Wednesday's low to expand again. So, expansion, retracement, expansion, that's all that is, right? So, but this previous low is also a fair value gap. Okay? So, there's a logic for these two days. Now let's go into see what actually forms the high and low today. So as you see here, how can we anticipate or how do we even know that this could be a retracement lower? It's not just because we take out external range. That's not the reason. The reason is because the candle profile, you see it opens high first. That can signify that this idea can be valid, right? And then we obviously print a reversal signature here because we have that C2 candle at a relevant time which is London. So this would anticipate 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. to continue you know to target you know EQ of the range. So basically it's New York or London reversal New York continuation right and that was the you know this day that's what it did. It just rebalanced EQ right? So now you're just waiting for the pre-state. What is it going to do? Is it going to respect this range to continue lower or is it actually going to reverse off this low? And it's just like that logic where I told you that um where I told you guys that Monday can be one-sided. This is the same the same kind of logic where the previous day it expanded into a key level. So it's like when would we reverse? If the previous day hit a key level but it didn't really reverse, we would reverse early on the day. Why is that? And we would ideally reverse early on in the day from the previous days low, right? Same logic as I told you guys earlier. It's actually just like this logic on the higher time frame. If we're going to reverse off this previous week's low, we going to do it early on the week because we're opening near it. You know what I'm saying? So the day is opening near the key level which is the daily fair value gap or the previous low. So therefore it it would reverse in Asia or London. That's when it would do, right? So when Asia actually expands away and gives this reversal characteristic of that V-shaped signature, right? See that we take this low and expand away. Well then I mean that's the low of day probably, right? And it's that same logic here. Notice how we're facilizing things, right? What do we have here? A C2 closure above the daily open, right? So this is going to be a low day. Then you know this gap that forms, you know, above the daily open should support price high, right? So when it does this C2 candle right this is a Asia reversal you know this can form the you know you know a little like um reaccumulation to continue from right basically this is like a New York continuation away from the swing point essentially right um so hopefully that kind of made sense there we're also within that new week opening gap so if I show you Right. So that's out of confluence really. But yeah, that's just a Asia reversal example I wanted to show you guys. So now let's get into a 10 a.m. reversal profile. So again, Monday being one-sided again. Why this is actually backtoback Mondays being one-sided. I'm telling you, Mondays are very one-sided, honestly. So here's the previous week expanding into a low. So, what does it make sense for Monday to trade back into the range? Because this week actually continued from the previous range. So, here's the previous week's range. It continued from it. But if even if we're going to continue early on the week, we're going to open high first. You know what I'm saying? And if we're going, you know, this Monday here, same Like, if we're going to reverse, we would reverse early on the week. So, even this day right here, it's like it's even if we're going to continue like lower either way, it's like we're going higher first. That's ideally what's going to happen majority of the time. So you can trade Mondays. It's actually You can't trade Mondays. Um but anyways, Tuesday we create SMT with Monday's high here. So you can trade, you know, it's also uh SMT fill. SMT fill is simply um basically just gap SMT, right? Where one asset trades into a gap, other one doesn't. That's simply what it is. Pretty simple. But how can we anticipate this being a reversal day? is the candle profile. So, what does the day do? It opens high first. This is also a good example of a 10 a.m. reversal that is actually um like tradable really because here you're seeing 9:30 is making its way towards the draw liquidity and that's fine, right? Doesn't mean that it didn't reverse or anything like that. It's just didn't hit the key level yet. It's just trading towards it, right? So this is when 10 a.m. trades and hits the key level, right? Um which is absolutely fine. So here you see the high of this 10m candle is formed from what a 1 hour swing formation or 30 minute swing formation, whatever you want to use. Does it support expansion? Yes. So 10m hit the key level, right? Created the SMT. Does it support expansion? Yes. So then you can trade into these lows, right? See the daily opening high first. Look at all these failure swings here, right? What do you have here? A gap from the previous range. So really this can be ordered pairing ranges. However you view it because this is an external range high. These are much external ranges lows. Also a fair value gap below those lows. So whatever you view it, right? Simply just a a 1 hour or above key level. Right? We have SMT there. We have the profile supporting it and we're aligning expansion candles away from it. So moving on now. I got one Forex. I got I think two Forex samples here. So with this previous week here trading into this gap, what can we expect this next week to do? Trade into these lows. If you fail to play these lows, where can you head to? This low simply, right? So at this point, Monday, if you know, if we're going to open up the week here and we're this close to low, I mean, Monday can expand. Like this is when Mondays can expand, etc. Like Mondays are very tradable, like I said. Um, so Monday's opening very close to these lows. So it makes no sense to trade higher like this is when Monday can definitely expand, right? So that's what it does. And Tuesday closes, right? This is a fail to manipulate this low. Obviously, this is not manipulation at this point. You're trading way beyond it. So if this is going to be the high of the week, Monday, this gap needs to hold, right? So when this Wednesday candle has an S& between Tuesday and Wednesday's high and gap S&T as well, right, that is confirming that we can continue, right? Does the daily candle support expansion? Yes. Now we're going to confirm the high of the day from a 4hour swing point. In this case, you're trading a candle to reversion into expansion. Why? Because within that gap we have this basically this 4hour swing formation. See this 4hour swing formation that we are manipulating. And does it support expansion? The answer is yes. The candle does support expansion. So this is a basically a um London reversal or what time is this right now? It's kind of like New York session. It's around 7 o'clock. So it's kind of like a New York reversal actually. And what do we have here guys? 15 minute CSD. we have that V-shaped signature. Um, you know, here's another opportunity here, right? So, that's an example of that 5 a.m. reversal into expansion basically, right? So, in this case, we're going to train continuation. So, now we're going to mark out EQ of this candle's range. So, here's the high, here's the low. Looking for a key level within the lower half of the previous candle's range, right? Simply. So when I go to the 4hour time frame, okay, cool. I see a fair value gap. So price should form the high of day from this level ideally right. So when the daily candle opens high first, that already supports a bearish move. So as you see this candle here did not reverse its age as session as well. Um and London session reverses and we can trade London session. Why? Because it supports expansion, right? It has that small wick. So we can reverse and expand, right? We can also trade the 5m candle because the previous candle reversed. We have open objectives here and obviously our higher time from draw liquidity that could could have potentially got hit the same day. Right. So here you're seeing that we have that 15inut CSD. We have a fair value gap that you could maybe enter off of. Right? Whatever you like to use. Here's the opening price of that for candle. It's right here. You see it opens high first expands lower at this point. Like if this is going to be the high of the 4 candle, this gap has to hold, right? So that can be an entry as the 4hour candle already supports expansion. It's already starting to trade away from the high, eliminating the possibility to become a bullish expansion candle, right? And that's something we will talk about later on in another video about profiling in general, right? You can profile any candle um and you kind of see a little bit of you kind of see that a little bit um in the example I've shown you guys. You can figure it out. I've already shown a couple examples of it a couple different ways. So here, as you see, the the 4hour candle is opening up within a, you know, a level that we want to hold, right? We can do that same logic. Really, I can look back within this previous candle's range. I want this candle's high to be formed in the lower half to support expansion. I don't want it to be up here because that wick would be very large, right? So, as you see, this candle right here is actually opening up within a fair value gap, right? Or this opposing candle. So, it's like it can just rip lower. It doesn't have to create this large wick or anything with it, right? You can anticipate it being a small wick because you would anticipate this to hold ideally, right? Because we're so close to this lows. There's no point to go higher at that point, right? So, in this case, expands lower. You get a continuation, you know, blah blah blah. Those are just some clean examples, right, of just aligning time frames, right? So both days does the daily support expansion. Yes. Yes. Does a weekly support expansion? Yes. So that's an added confluence as well. 4hour supports expansion here. 4hour supports expansion. 4hour support expansion. 4hour supports expansion. Right? Simple as that, right? So now let's move on into our last example, guys. So here's an example that I also took. Go ahead and move this here. So here's another day that we can anticipate and trade a Monday. Why? Because what is what did the previous week do? Essentially it expanded. So here's the low of the week expanded into external range high and we retraced back in the same week. So basically the previous week retraced into EQ range. So if the previous week retraced and actually put in a reversal, you have an SMT here and a C2 closure. Then what can the previous week do or the next week do? It can expand. And when would we expand if the you know Friday manipulated? We would expand early on the week. So Monday. So that's what we do here, right? Does it support expansion? Yes. Do both of these days support expansion? Yes. for this day. Since we have a strong close here on a Monday and we have this CSD here and this two SMT, I can expect this neck to expand, right? Ideally, so what do I want to you know this day to support ideally the previous candles range and we can look for a key level you know within this here. So going to lower time frame, does the candle profile support expansion? Right, the wick size do. We already checked that out. But does the way the candle act the way it's forming does it support expansion? Yes. Right. Because they're opening low first, right? There's candle profile two there's two components. It's the wick size. Does it support expansion? It's also the way it forms. So bullish expansion candle opens up first. That's what we have here. London reversal because we have that C2 candle. You see New York both New York sessions 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. continue, right? Do they support expansion? Yes. Small wick? Yes. Small wick. So you're aligning expansion candles there. What about over here? Opens low first. Do we have a key level on the 4hour time frame? No. Do we have a key level over here? Not really. What about 1 hour time frame? All right. We have a gap here. Sure. Right. We have a gap here. We also have the drivers expanding. I actually traded both of these days as well. I only traded this 9:00 a.m. candle. So you're seeing that the driver is expanding away because the low of day is put in, right? So driver should do what? Expand into these lower resistance highs. Also trade this day around the driver as well. Um you're also seeing that you know we can't look back within the previous day over here or sorry we can over here but not really over here. There's there's no key level to the left. So that just means that the previous sessions have to create some sort of key level to trade from which would be this swing low on the hourly time frame. So again, hourly or above. So here's an hourly swing point. We manipulate and when you know London actually trades away from it, that just confirms the low day. So then we're just trading 4hour expansion candles away from low day. So that supports expansion that supports expansion. The daily candle supports expansion. Right? simply um also traded this as well. So why did I trade this? Well, a little bit of asset synchronization. You're seeing that this asset failed to manipulate this high. So when that happens, you seen my SMT video, we know that um you expect assets to catch up. So this is when the middle asset catches up. When it catches up, this is when we basically um reverse. I posted on Twitter and you're going to see that the other triad creates an SMT here, right? So, basically, it's like when SMT breaks. I'm going I'm making this video so long, but so when one asset fails to manipulate it, the middle asset then catches up to break that SMT. So, as soon as it catches up to break the SMT, you're seeing that the other asset is creating an SMT here. This is a reversal signature, reversal sequence between triads, right? There's a couple there's a lot of different sequences between triads. Really, one of the most powerful things when looking at triads and understanding market direction, but how can we even trust that? Well, it's the it's the profile, right? So, if I show you the profile here, what forms the high of the day, London, you know, C2 closure, but also how does the candle actually form? It has that that um signature where it opens high first, right? It's a very large wick as you see pretty large wick. So what would this also be guys? External to internal. So we can trade this candle but understand it's not going to expand much beyond either the daily open or the the objective that's in close proximity to the daily open. So like this swing low, it's not going to expand past it. It's going to have a very hard time to do it. As you see, this probably Yeah, just consolidates, right? So anyways guys, going to leave you all with that. My next video will be on precision swing points and then I could probably do GXT part two because this is kind of just scratching the surface, but you can do a lot with this video. I know this will help a lot of you guys. So let me let me know what you guys want to see in the future. Let me know if you enjoyed this. Um, and yeah, leave a like, subscribe. Um, and yeah, thanks for being patient, guys. I try to do these when I can, but show love and it'll it'll definitely encourage me to do more of these guys. But, uh, yeah, I'll catch youall later, man. And y'all have a good one and good luck trading.
