7. The Right Trading Mindset
• No trading system under the sun is 100%.
• Trading is all about probabilities.
• It will need more than this system to make it to profitability.
• For you to be consistent in trading you need to be a consistent person.
• The steps you take everyday must always be the same in approaching
the market. (what time do you wake up, what time do you analyze, when
do you expect a trade).

8. The Trading Routine
• Like any other activity there are steps that you have to follow whenever
you are analyzing the markets.
• Here are a series of activities that must always be lined up before taking
any trade.
1. Plan
2. Monitor
3. Execute

9. Planning
• We have 3 sessions and depending on where you are in the world they
comes at different times.
• London 0700GMT
• New York 1300 GMT
• Planning involves pair scouting, analysis and creation of watchlist

10. Monitoring
• After pair scouting we will then create a watch list which is basically a
list of pairs we expect to see setups.
• We will need to clear everything from our terminals and monitor our
watch list.
• After a setup is issued we will then execute

11. Analysis Steps
1. BIAS
2. SETUP
3. EXECUTION
• Analysis must always be done 30 minutes before session opening
• A setup is expected after session opening
• A trade must be taken with the session
• Lets now dive deep in BIAS DETERMINATION.

12. Timeframe Relationship
• H1 is the the median timeframe.
• All timeframes below H1 are called strike zone timeframes and the
ones above are called directional bias timeframes.
• To successfully catch proper trends for both short and long term we
need to incorporate higher timeframes.
• All smaller timeframes are building blocks for the higher timeframes.
• Therefore what we enter on small timeframe must be a support of what
we want to achieve on the higher timeframe.

13. Bias Timeframes
• Monthly, weekly, Daily and H4 are the timeframes we use to see where
the market is going.
• This becomes the fundamental starting stage of our market analysis,

14. Strike Zone Timeframes
• The M15 is the best strike zone timeframe.
• This is the timeframe that allows us to get involved in the market moves.
• Entries on these timeframes must always be in support with the higher
timeframe bias.

15. MOVING AVERAGES AND THEIR COLOR CODES
• In institutional trading 5 emas are employed and they are all important
in our trading.
• These are
• 5 – Yellow
• 13 – Red
• 50 – Light Blue
• 200 – White
• 800 – Dark blue

16. EMA THOERY
• Whenever a lower period ema crosses a higher period ema price
pullbacks to the higher period ema whenever levels of the preceding
timeframe are completed.
• This holds in all timeframes.
• Example: 13 crosses 50 EMA on H1 we expect price to come back to 50
ema.
• Example 2 : 200 crosses 800 on H4 we expect price to come back to 800
ema.
• As mentioned earlier that the smaller timeframes are building blocks of
the higher timeframe so as the ema crossovers.

17. Case Study

19. Levels definition
• Levels are defined as market impulsive moves after a consolidation or
price pullbacks.
• These are the manipulative moves available for the market makers to
book their profits and accumulate new contracts.
• Level exists in all timeframes, however smaller timeframes are building
blocks of higher timeframes.
• Mastering the concept of drawing levels one will have some sort of
predicting power of the markets.

20. Cont..
• Each time price moves down a level they can be referred to as achieving
or making either a Level I, Level II or a Level III move.
1. "After a big drop the market must chop"
2. "After three days of drop the market must chop"
3. "After a big rise the market needs more guys"
4. "After three days of rise the market needs more guys"
5. At level 3 we stay almost forever in consolidation
• This just means after a rise or drop the market needs more guys for
more liquidity

21. Levels and timeframes
• Also, it is again worth remembering that the patterns are similar in
different time frames.
• M15 levels are impulses
• H1 levels are days
• H4 levels are weeks
• D1 levels are months
• W1 levels are years

22. The special Number
• Nomatter the timeframe, levels are combined in 3s to form a cycle.
• 3 impulsive moves separated with a consolidation or a pullback gives us
a market maker cycle.
• Therefore we have to respect the fact that a complete cycle comes after 3
levels are issued.
• So, to win in the market you should only take a long position when the
LOD/HOD is clear.

23. Levels Template H4 with H1 segments

24. Levels as building blocks
• In trading it is wise to carry out top down analysis.
• This is a process of acquiring the market bias on the higher timeframe
and then going to smaller timeframes and try to build logical blocks in
building the higher timeframe bias.
• It should be noted that the forex market has vast trading pairs and as
wise traders we must not find ourselves confined in structures we do
not understand.
• Some pair are crosses which are only meant to support trade between
nations and their structures poses great difficulty in analyzing them.

25. Counting levels
• Before we learn how to count levels we need to know why we do that.
• Reasons for counting levels,
• To know where we are in the cycle.
• To prepare ourselves for market reversals
• To know how long to stay in the market.
• To get in the market.

26. Level counting
• To properly count levels we need to start at
1. PFL or PFH
• This is the lowest or highest point of the previous cycle
1. Previous Zone of reversal
• From of previous reset

27. Hacks in Counting levels
• First Cycle
• Level 1 13-50 ema cross
• Level 2 50-200 ema cross
• Level 3 price bounce on 13 ema or 50 ema
• After Reset 1
• Level 1 13-50 ema cross
• Level 2 bounce on 13 ema or 50 ema
• Level 3 price bounce on 13 ema
