Economic Calendar - Event Risk Filter
Before running the protocol, check the calendar. Some days, the highest-probability trade is no trade at all.
Concept
TOI - Times of Interest
Step 4 of the protocol: identifying when a reversal is likely to execute. Time narrows the field.
SMT - Smart Money Time
Step 5 of the protocol: SMT confirms reversals through divergence between correlated assets.
POI - Points of Interest
Step 3 of the protocol: POI is where price reacts and reverses, distinct from DOL which is where price is drawn.
PD Arrays - Premium & Discount Arrays
The structural price delivery mechanisms that define where institutional traders accumulate and distribute.
Opening Price - Session & Cycle Opens
The institutional reference points that define price equilibrium and directional bias across all timeframes.
MMXM - Market Maker Models
The schematics that define how institutional money structures price movement between levels.
Manipulation Cycles
How institutional price engineering traps retail traders before the real move. Recognizing the pattern is the skill.
Macros - Algorithmic Time Windows
The 30-minute windows where algorithmic price delivery concentrates. Reference for exact session times in ET.
HTF IOF - High Time Frame Institutional Order Flow
Step 1 of the protocol: the directional bias built by institutions across the largest timeframes. Get this wrong and everything downstream is noise.
DOL - Draw on Liquidity
Step 2 of the protocol: DOL identifies where price is being drawn. Previous session highs and lows, unfilled imbalances, and key levels act as institutional targets.
CSD - Change in State of Delivery
Step 6 of the protocol: CSD is the entry trigger where analysis becomes action.
