Lecture Notes: DTR Blueprint Model

Introduction

• DTR Blueprint is a profitable trading model.
• Provides a framework for understanding market direction.
• Includes a PDF guide with A+ and B+ setups available via a link.

Overview of Lecture

• Model's Foundation: Understanding the foundation and identification before formation.
• Key PD Arrays: Aligning time frames correctly.
• Setups: Explanation of A+ and B+ setups.

Model's Foundation

• High Time Frame Order Flow: Essential to understand weekly and daily trends.
  • Bullish on the weekly candle: Market usually trades lower early in the week before moving higher.
  • Use a weekly candle (5 daily candles) for predictions.
• Order Flow Principles:
  • Bullish: Down closed candles support upward movement.
  • Bearish: Up closed candles act as resistance.

Example of Higher Time Frame Orderflow

• Bullish order flow supports upward movement until reversal.
• Weekly candle logic involves anticipating lows and highs of the week for direction.
• Use of SMT Divergence for confluence (e.g., S&P 500 vs. NASDAQ).

Dealing Ranges

• Definition: Formed by swing highs and lows, crucial for strategy.
• Trade Execution: Must take out one side of the range for a trade.
• Context Usage: Understanding of high time frame order flow is necessary.
• Formation: Example with swing highs/lows and dealing range drawing.

Price Delivery Arrays and Inversion Fair Value Gaps

• Inversion: Confirmation of market structure change.
• Inversion fair value gaps indicate shifts in market structure.

Change in the State of Delivery

• Criteria: Not every candle is a change; context and liquidity pool formation required.
• Example: Use of consecutive down closed candles for confirmation.

SMT and Divergence

• Importance: Validates or invalidates trading setups.
• Example: Use of SMT between Dow Jones, S&P 500, and NASDAQ.
• Function: Confirms manipulation and direction.

Time Frame Alignment

• High Probability Trades: Require alignment of 3+ time frames.
• Daily and 4-hour: Used for context building.
• Lower Time Frames: M15 for narrative building, M5 for refinement, M1 for entries.

Blueprint Model for London and New York

• London Session: Identify dealing range, wait for time-based reversal.
• New York Session: Similar framework, time-based reversal around 9:30 AM.
  • Use of inversion levels and closing below/above candles for entry confirmation.

Conclusion

• Model is profitable with a provided checklist for setups.
• Joining a Discord community for further questions and support.
• Encouragement for success and an invitation to use the model effectively.
