1. Structure

Question 1

When looking at a financial instrument……..

Answer 1

Market structure is the most important thing.

Question 2

What is a BOS?

Answer 2

Break Of Swing Structure

Question 3

How do we map valid structure breaks (BOS)?

Answer 3

When mapping swing structure we need to see a body close above/below the high/low.

IF price wicks the high/low, we then need to see a body close above/below that wick

Question 4

What is Swing Structure and what TFs do we mainly use?

Answer 4

Swing Structure -> Defines our market directional bias.
The areas that cause the true swings or Highs/Lows.

We mainly use 4H & M15 swing points.

Question 5

What are Swing Points?

Answer 5

Swing points (HHs/HLs LHs/LLs) 
The areas that cause the new High/Low. 

In a bullish market -> Lowest point that led to the BOS
In a bearish market -> Highest point that led to the BOS

Question 6

For EU, how many pips are needed to classify a pullback and a new swing point as valid?

1D
4H
M15

Answer 6

1D = 100 pips (2x candles that trade higher/lower)
4H = 40 pips (2x candles that trade higher/lower)
15 = 13 pips (2x candles that trade higher/lower)

Question 7

What is Internal Structure and iBOS?

Answer 7

When price is trading within a swing leg and breaking Hs/Ls this is internal structure (iBOS)

Question 8

In a Bullish market, we see a series of……..

Answer 8

Higher Highs (HHs) & Higher Lows (HLs)

Question 9

In a Bullish market, we want to Buy……..

Answer 9

At the HL - likely in discount of the swing leg

Question 10

In a Bullish market, we want to Sell……..

Answer 10

After we break swing structure (previous HH) and tap into HTF Supply.
Looking to Sell into Discount forming the HL

Question 11

In a Bearish market, we see a series of……..

Answer 11

Lower Lows (LLs) & Lower Highs (LHs)

Question 12

In a Bearish market, we want to Sell……..

Answer 12

At the LH - likely in premium of the swing leg

Question 13

In a Bearish market, we want to Buy……..

Answer 13

After we break swing structure (previous LL) and tap into HTF Demand.
Looking to Buy into Premium forming the LH

Question 14

What TFs make up our Structural Narrative?

Answer 14

1W
1D
4H

Question 15

What TF do we use for our true Directional Bias?

Answer 15

M15 → True Directional Bias

Question 16

What is “Market Phase”?

Why is it important?

Answer 16

Are we Pro Trend or in the Pullback Phase?

It’s important to understand what Phase we are in and what this will look like on the LTF.
1D Bullish
4H Pro Trend bullish
15M Pullback bearish

Question 17

What are the 2 types of market structure?

Answer 17

1. Swing Structure

2. Internal Structure / Ranges

Question 18

What is MTF Structure and when do we use it?

Answer 18

Multi Time Frame Structure.

We use multiple time frames to understand our overall HTF structural bias.

Question 19

What is Sub Structure (sBOS / iBOS)?

Answer 19

Internal structure contained within a swing leg

Breaks nothing within the leg

Question 20

What is Minor Structure (mBOS / iBOS)?

Answer 20

Internal structure contained within a swing leg
Breaks internal structure.
Can also be a CHoCH.

Question 21

What are MTF Swing Points?

Answer 21

Each Time Frame will have it’s own Swing Structure

M15 swing structure within -> 4H swing structure within -> M15 swing structure

Question 22

What is the overall idea of trading market structure?

Answer 22

To wait for our structural TFs to align.

For example. if 1D & 4H are Bullish -> Wait for M15 to change bullish.

Question 23

What is a Strong High/Low?

Answer 23

Breaks swing structure
Aggressive move away (V-Shape)
Ideally sweeps liquidity

We never actually know if something is Strong until after the BOS
We can use EOF -> Anticipate what is likely to be strong/weak

Question 24

What is a Weak High/Low?

Answer 24

Fails to break swing structure
Slow/rounded move away
Doesn’t sweep liquidity

Following EOF -> Likely to be run (especially if we get a CHoCH towards the potentially weak High/Low)

Question 25

What is a CHoCH and where do we look for them?

Answer 25

CHoCH -> Change Of Character -> First time we see a shift in order Flow We look for them inside of Valid POIs -> Ideally after a sweep

Question 26

What does a Bearish CHoCH look like?

Answer 26

Inside a valid POI (Supply) following a Sweep we want to see a HIgh get taken and straight away a Low get taken. We can use Wick Breaks We can use Inside Bars We can use internal structure

Question 27

What does a Bullish CHoCH look like?

Answer 27

Inside a valid POI (Demand) following a Sweep we want to see a Low get taken and straight away a HIgh get taken. We can use Wick Breaks We can use Inside Bars We can use internal structure

Question 28

How can we validate a m15 ChoCH?

Answer 28

Check the m5 for a BOS

Question 29

What is a trading range and how do you map it and trade it?

Answer 29

- IF price is trading within a swing High and Low (or L/H) we are inside a range - We map iBOS rather than swing structure. - Try and map clear internal "swings/moves" - Trade the edges (70/30) & look for POIs/CHoChs and shifts in OF here.

Question 30

What are Order Flow Ranges?

Answer 30

Simply HTF POIs -> S2B/B2S PA -> Where orders are stacked.

Question 31

OF Ranges are simply LTF Structure.

Answer 31

1D OF -> 4H Structure 4H OF -> M15 Structure M15 OF -> M5 Structure

Question 32

Explain OF Ranges & POIs inside?

Answer 32

Look for POIs inside the ranges (ones that break it & extreme) 1. IF price taps into a POI inside range = M1 Entry 2. IF price taps into a refined POI = Seconds entry 3. IF price doesn't hit a POI = Wait for M15 BOS

Question 33

Explain how using OF Ranges can lead to consistency?

Answer 33

- Real consistency comes from taking continuations → Following the ranges - Follow OF and mitigations (some will be left → Mitigated at a later date)

Question 34

How do you Map/Draw OF Ranges?

Answer 34

- Draw them from -> Left to Right (B2S or S2B) - Similar to mapping structure - Mark out ebs/flows/swings → Don't get too granular → Just data on different timeframes

Question 35

Explain OF Ranges & CHoCH.

Answer 35

- CHoCH -> Shift in OF | - LTF -> BOS/ Break of D/S

Question 36

Explain how OF Ranges behave during a Pullback. Phase.

Answer 36

- OF Usually gets disrupted - Pullback Phase can be messy - Once OF aligns with structure → They are usually respected until the objective is complete.

Question 37

OF is most powerful when...

Answer 37

Used with Structure and when we get structural alignment. We need to always think about it from a HTF perspective - Once 4H shifts OF → Understand what that will do on the LTF (m15) - We can wait for LTF to shift OF and align at key areas (POIs, HTF OF)
