Market Structure
Read the chart like the people behind the big money. A weekly plan for gold and the majors.
Most traders read charts looking for signals. Market Structure reads charts looking for where the big money is sitting. Once you know that, it becomes obvious which signals are worth taking and which ones are traps.
The weekly plan
- Weekly and daily structure. Is the trend holding or broken, and which swing high or low decides it.
- Liquidity zones. Last week’s high and low, the Asian session range, and the equal highs and lows price loves to sweep before the real move.
- One main bias and one invalidation level. Clear and decisive. No drawing every possible scenario just to be right.
- News to avoid. The hours when spreads blow out and gold and the majors whip hardest.
Plan and setups work together
The plan shows where to wait. When price reaches the zone, the exact setup with entry, SL and TP drops in the Free channel. Read the plan first and you understand why the setup exists, which makes holding the trade a lot easier.
Schedule
Sunday evening, before the Asian open. The plan goes to the Free channel first, then gets archived under Market Structure.
