HOW And WHY The Markets MoveIn this video I explain HOW and WHY the markets move.
At it's core, trading is a zero-sum game, meaning that nothing is created. There must always be a counter-party to any trade, after all it is called "trading". Because of this, liquidity is the lifeblood of the market and it is what is required by all participants, albeit more for the larger entities out there. In order for these larger entities to trade, they must do so in stages of buying and selling, and not all in one single position like we do as retail traders. They buy on the way down, and sell on the way up, throughout many different time horizons. Therefore, they require price to be delivered efficiently in order to sustain this working machine.
I hope you find the video somewhat insightful. Regardless of your beliefs, I think it can be agreed that these two principles are what drives the marketplace and it's movements.

Quarter Theory: Mastering Algorithmic Price Movements!Greetings Traders, and welcome back!
In today's video, we’ll dive deep into Quarter Theory—a powerful concept that can take your trading to the next level. We’ll break it down step-by-step, explain how it works, and show you how to implement it into your strategy.
Quarter Theory is all about studying the algorithmic price delivery within the markets. It’s grounded in Time and Price Theory, which suggests that significant market moves often occur at specific price levels and times. This foundational idea will help us predict price movements more effectively.

Premium & Discount Price Delivery in Institutional TradingGreetings Traders!
In today's educational video, we will delve into the concepts of premium and discount price delivery. The objective is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of institutional-level market mechanics. Before we proceed, it is crucial to define what we mean by "institutional level" and "smart money," as these terms are often misunderstood. We will also address the common misconceptions about who the liquidity providers are in the market.
By grasping these foundational concepts, you will gain a new perspective on the market, realizing that its movements are not random but calculated and precise, orchestrated by well-informed entities often referred to as smart money.

ORDER BLOCK AND FAIR VALUE GAP SMART MONEY CONCEPT**Order Block**:
An order block is a specific price area on a financial chart where institutional traders have placed large buy or sell orders. These areas often lead to significant price movements and are used by traders to identify potential zones of support or resistance. Order blocks represent clusters of orders from big players like banks or hedge funds, signaling where major buying or selling interest lies. When price revisits these zones, it often reacts strongly, making them valuable for predicting price reversals or continuations.
**Fair Value Gap**:
A fair value gap (FVG) is a price range on a chart where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers, often created during periods of high volatility or news events. This gap typically occurs when the market moves so quickly that trades do not fully fill, leaving a visible gap on the chart. Traders use fair value gaps to anticipate potential price retracements to these levels, as the market tends to revisit and fill these gaps over time, aligning price with its perceived fair value.
Both concepts are crucial in technical analysis for identifying key price levels where significant market activity is likely to occur.
PBFintech - Mapping a script using Pivots, CPR and MoneyFlow Hey Pivster's
Here, I have tried to demonstrate how you can use the money flow in the market to map the script alongside its basic price action which eventually leads us to some interesting zones in the journey which are being classified as the 'buyers' or 'sellers' zone depending upon the situation of the price and money flow statistics present at that very juncture!
Moreover, due to limited time we quickly dived in to see the confluence of these zones (current stop) along with Pivot Points of multiple timeframes in a single tab which give us an additional boost to our analysis and make the trade refined apart from the standard information available in the market.

Overview of good ideas I had :)☝️Dear traders, no one here has superpowers, and I'm as well just a human. Please take everything with a degree of doubt and critique. I'm just sharing my view and one of the possible scenarios of price action. When I enter I try to predict as little as possible and actually follow what the market is doing, joining the market and not arguing with it or forcing my will. Have good trading, keep a constant flow of self-awareness, and do your best. 🙌
Q3 Sell Off Bias Breakdown Part 3 Simple Explanation +ScreenshotFor how most people I know trade, we have a few simple steps to follow in order to identify a good trade setup. We need to:
1. Determine current price location on our chosen higher timeframe - are we in Premium or Discount.
2. Check whether we've taken any liquidity on our selected higher timeframe.
3. If liquidity has been taken immediately, switch to your preferred lower timeframe and look for the same setup aka liquidity being taken.
4. if you've Confirmed liquidity has been taken, now you need price to follow up by a break of market structure on a short-term low or high.
5. If step 4 is completed successfully, we can now look for entry on our trade ONLY IF PRICE HAS LEFT THE FOLLOWING BEHIND!!!!

HOW-TO:How much move is left upon point of entry(OE)In this video,we look at our invite only script of Smart Money Indicator(SMI) Elite OE and how it helps us determine how much move is left upon point of entry(aka OE) on a statistical probability basis. The SMI is not a buy and sell indicator. SMI quantifies the tops and bottoms to give you a solid structured framework to design robust strategies on. Please refer to our 7 steps to consistent trading performance videos on our trading view channel to understand further the methodology and reasoning behind the SMI which was developed in the 1960s by institutional quant traders.

Gold analysis for the week of July 9, 2023.Last week I mentioned I wanted to see a bullish week with an sweep of buy side liquidity in the form of previous weeks High as an upside objective. That objective was met perfectly, price did exactly as explained, price fell into an 1hr +FVG forming the low of the week drawing to LWH sweeping the liquidity resting above it.
This week I'm still bullish gold, with great confidence given the fact that the DXY is bearish. Bearish dollar means bullish gold. I'm anticipation at some point this week possibly
Tues/Wed, for the low of the week to form below current price. We do have some high impact news on Wed, in the form of CPI, that I think helps price get to the buy side liquidity.
I go into more detail of potential entries and targets. Have a great week trading.
SMT Look at EUR NZD AUD and GBP vs USDIn this video I take a look at 4 major pairs vs the USD, and a concept known as SMT Divergence, authored by ICT. The theory behind this being, that by comparing structure from similar periods, we can see which pairs "Smart Money" is accumulating.
I've also briefly touched on "Net Positioning" of Leveraged Money (ie "Smart Money") based on today's newly released CoT Report.
As always, good luck, have fun, and practice solid risk management.
