1.2	6
3.2	7	* one of many trading patterns, one of the easiest
	8	* trading plan needs to be simple:
	9	** what's your risk model
	10	** how to frame that?
	11	** what makes your entry
	12	** what gives you indicators of bullish/bearish market?
	13	** how do you execute the trade?
	14	** how do you manage the trade?
	15	** where do you take profits?
	16	* what make the market predisposed to go higher or lower?
7.2	17	** look at HTF (M, W, D, 4h) and look for key levels where price has moved away from in the past
13.1	18	** HTF shows where the big players are most likely going to push things around.
3.2	19	** LTF is too noisy to show this detail.
	20	* Assuming bullish market, we are looking for where the market wants to trade higher. OTE is based on buying during the retracements that occur before the further push upwards.
	21	* The impulse move has to incorporate a break in Market Structure.
	22	* Using Fib Retracement as a visual guide, set the following levels
	23	** -1 - Symmetrical Price Swing
	24	** -0.62 - TP2
	25	** -0.27 - TP1
4.1	26	** 0 - First Profit - Scaling
3.2	27	** 0.5 - Equilibrium
	28	** 0.618 - 62% retracement
	29	** 0.705 - OTE 70.5%
	30	** 0.79 - 79%
	31	** 1 - 100%, or likely SL
4.1	32	* OTE (70.5%) is an ideal target. getting deeper is better, but you run the risk of not filling your order. 62% retracement is also acceptable, but it results in smaller profits because our SL range will be larger, necessitating smaller order sizes to maintain our risk profile.
	33	* First Scaling, or slightly before, represents the place to take initial profits. It should be a decent return, preferable better than 1:2 risk/reward, but slightly less than 2 (1.5? 1x75?) is also acceptable.
	34	* Setups on 1h charts better than 5m charts because the pip movements will be larger.
	35	* Key levels xxx.00, xxx.20, xxx.50, xxx.80, yyy.00
7.2	36	* Place the fibs on the body of the candles
	37	* Market structure - example given:
	38	- monthly view
	39	[[image:Screenshot 2020-06-29 at 03.11.56.png]]
	40	\\- daily view
	41	[[image:Screenshot 2020-06-29 at 03.14.02.png]]
	42	\\- 15m view[[image:Screenshot 2020-06-29 at 03.06.46.png]]
	43	* Note the following:
	44	** institutional levels
	45	** old monthly high at 1.1720 (1.17137 rounded)
8.1	46	** price runs down until it hits the 20 level (1.1720), rallies and creates a new short term high (old - middle red line, new STH, top red line. It's also called a "market structure break"
7.2	47	** the new STH makes for a more likely trade opportunity. (market maker model) and opens up the chance for an OTE.
8.1	48	** also, a high, with two lower highs on either side makes that high more significant. when this high is broken, it's a more convincing move than breaking the other shorter term highs, thus giving us the opportunity to find a likely OTE.
	49	** at the fib, we see price rockets away from a STL
7.2	50	* when old highs/lows are broken, trades will tend to reach back to those old positions (retail calls it "support")

12.1	52	== {{id name="Intro"/}}Introduction ==
1.2	53
11.1	54	* how to annotate the charts to look for specific price patterns
	55	* study for the patterns for a month, and it'll start to become more easily recognizable as you train your brain to recognize it, then see if you can see it live
19.2	56	* the pattern should appear every day, but not necessarily on the same pairs
	57	* daily chart - audusd, 20-apr-2020 contains two down candles, showing orderblock
	58	[[image:Screenshot 2020-06-29 at 04.21.46.png]]
	59
	60	* the two equal lows in May are sensitive to prices in that order block
	61	[[image:Screenshot 2020-06-29 at 04.23.52.png]]
	62
	63	* we are primarily looking for reactions to the previous days range. (last visible green candle in the picture above)
	64	* can we determine whether the price is going to be able to break the previous days high or low?
	65	[[image:Screenshot 2020-06-29 at 04.50.28.png]]
	66	We can see that the recent lows pushed slightly into the order block, but returned indicating that prices doesn't currently want to run lower.

	68	* AUDUSD 5M example[[image:Screenshot 2020-06-29 at 04.58.02.png]]
	69	Mark out the previous days high and low.
	70	\\The black line (6450) represents the closest institutional or key level near the previous days high. The blue lines above and below are a 10 pip spread.
	71
	72	* The OTE pattern occurs during the 8:30 to 11:00am NY session. That's when the major news and reports tends to come out.

	74	The green box represents the 62 to 79% Fib retracement levels in the OTE pattern
	75
	76	* The Fib box is drawn from the low to high when the previous days high has been broken.
