C

CSD - Change in State of Delivery

Protocol Step 6

The entry trigger. Price physically shifts its delivery from one state to another - market structure shifts, imbalance displacement, breaker formation. This is where analysis becomes action.

D

DOL - Draw on Liquidity

Protocol Step 2

Where price is being drawn to - the magnet. Previous session highs/lows, old PD arrays, key levels, and opening prices all serve as potential draws that institutional order flow targets.

E

Economic Calendar - Event Risk Filter

Protocol Step 0

The pre-flight check. High-impact events (FOMC, NFP, CPI) distort normal price delivery. Check the calendar before running the protocol - some days the highest-probability trade is no trade at all.

H

HTF IOF - High Time Frame Institutional Order Flow

Protocol Step 1

The foundation - determining the narrative from yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily profiles. Identify whether a Market Maker Sell Model or Buy Model is in play. Everything downstream depends on getting this right.

M

Macros - Algorithmic Time Windows

Supporting Concept

Specific 30-minute windows where algorithmic activity creates predictable price behavior. The XX:45-XX:15 pattern across London, NY AM, and NY PM sessions.

Manipulation Cycles

Supporting Concept

How price is engineered to trap traders before reversing. Manipulation is always quick - when the left side of the curve is aggressive, the right side will be slow. Understanding these cycles is key to timing entries.

MMXM - Market Maker Models

Supporting Concept

The schematics that describe how price delivers between levels - Market Maker Sell Model (MMSM) and Market Maker Buy Model (MMBM). Essential for identifying the HTF narrative.

O

Opening Price - Session & Cycle Opens

Supporting Concept

Reference levels defined by when sessions and cycles open - Midnight, London, NY, plus bigger opens like Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, and Quarterly. Used for DOL/POI identification and premium/discount filtering.

P

PD Arrays - Premium & Discount Arrays

Supporting Concept

The structural price delivery mechanisms - Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, Breakers, Mitigation Blocks. Premium (above equilibrium) for sells, discount (below) for buys. The building blocks of DOL and POI analysis.

POI - Points of Interest

Protocol Step 3

Where you expect price to react and reverse - different from DOL. The sniper entry zone. Look for confluence of PD arrays, key levels, and liquidity engineering ahead of anticipated turning points.

S

SMT - Smart Money Time

Protocol Step 5

Confirmation through divergence between correlated assets. Time-cycle based - done on highs and lows of appropriate relative cycles. Big cycle SMT, small cycle SMT, and the highest-probability Double SMT.

T

TOI - Times of Interest

Protocol Step 4

When the reversal is most likely to occur. Time is more important than price. Built around macro windows and manipulation cycles - London, NY AM, NY PM sessions each have specific high-probability time windows.
