Hello everybody. Welcome to the
first video of the video

mentorship. Today we're
primarily going to be talking

about structure. And this is
just pretty much going to be a

review of things you've
probably seen in the past and

this will be the only video
pretty much of review right?

With that being said I kind of
want to go over things we

already know about such as you
know very simple structure

right? A little bit of Advanced
structure, right? We're going

to touch on Wykoff but not
getting too much detail about

Wykoff. The reason why we're
not going to go into extreme

detail about Wykoff is because
Wycoff is actually now a form

of a trap and eventually in
future videos, I'm going to

have to show you how to trade
those traps, right? Um we're

going to be going over today
continuations versus reversals,

right? The differences between
institutionally funded candles

IFCs and RIFCs which are
refined institutional funded

candles we're also going to be
reviewing what POIs are so

point of interest and OBs order
blocks and supply and demand

and then lastly we're going to
cover institutional order flow

versus the lower time frame
order So to kind of get right

into it, right? I don't want to
make these videos super

complicated. I don't want to
make them super long. Um yes,

there will be a core 5 videos.
This being the first core

video. However, you guys are
going to be receiving a video

every other day if not every
single day into the video

library where you will not only
be receiving my breakdowns but

as new content comes in the
future, I will just be

constantly uploading that
content to the video library

tab because I want you guys to
have as much information as

possible. So if I so happen to
miss something in these first

five videos I can almost
guarantee that you'll have all

the information in the world.
Um as these weeks go on and you

know with the video mentorship
you guys do have lifetime

access to my discord you'll be
with me forever for the most

part. Um so feel free to ask as
many questions as you can. I

encourage you to ask so many
questions because you know the

more that you ask right of
things that you don't know you

know the more I can help you
and that's kind of the goal and

strive for these videos and
mentorship so to get into some

of the structure basics alright
what are the structure basics?

The basics of structure is
pretty much identifying higher

highs and lower lows. Pretty
much every everything that

everyone has learned in the
past, right? If you can

understand the direction of the
market, I mean, if you can

understand the structure of the
market, you can in turn

understand the direction of the
market. Now, we're soon

going to realize that structure
is not what's going to tell us

the overall direction of the
market. However, it will help

us find very specific and that
you know we might want to find

within a very specific session
such as the New York or London

session. Now how do we mark up
structure? Right? Well a lot of

you have probably seen diagrams
of the past which I've

primarily shown higher highs
and higher lows right and a lot

of you are probably taught
right that these are all the

extremes right extremes being
the outer points of structure

right in you are pretty much
taught that once there is a

break of structure we can then
trade to the lower extreme

within the trend for price to
continue right when reality

what happens today what's a
little bit different right is

that we don't really trade
structure point to structure

point anymore because a lot of
those structure points actually

become something called the
smart money trap right so in

reality what's going on now and
you guys have probably seen

this as well is that price will
extend All the way up to here

you'll have your break of
structure. Price will retrace

but it won't mitigate to its
lower extreme. It'll have

another break of structure
right which will create again

another structure point here.
This structure point actually

now becomes the inducement to
this POI so price will actually

come back break through that
mitigate and run. Right and

that would be an example of a
continuation for structure. Now

you Gonna see with my strategy,
right? That I don't really

trade old structure points.
I've really only trade current

structure, right? And why is
that? I'm a big believer in

time and price and I am a big
believer in the proximity of

obese and you'll see as time
goes on that I'm primarily

trading current market
structure. Now, how do we

understand structure from a
fractal standpoint and this is

where I'm going to constantly
break down structure into live

Examples. I do believe in
diagrams but as discussed in my

mentorship program most of you
should already have a basic

understanding of SMC so I
want to go ahead and jump

straight into my strategy how I
use structure. Right? So the

first thing I normally do from
a structure standpoint on the

daily is I usually start off
either on the weekly or the

daily. I'm not a huge fan of
the weekly. I know a lot of my

students like to trade The
weekly time frame and use the

structure points on the weekly
time frame however I once we

start getting into injections
you'll see why I don't really

use the weekly but the way that
I identify structure is quite

simple I scrunch out my screen
right so I'm able to see all

the highs and lows that are
being developed right

throughout the months of price
right we can see here right

that we've clearly created a
high we then had I'm going to

make daily structure blue a low
and a high form right here

however that low and this high
were then wiped up wiped out by

this low in this high right
allowing me to get rid of these

two points here why because
price swept these lows and then

created EQD here right telling
me that these are the two main

daily structure points right
and as most of you know we just

continue the structure down
until we can't continue it no

more alright so what can we
tell so far about the structure

points that we have been given
right but we can clearly see

what happened here remember I
just said in terms of

continuations we need to look
for a very specific structure

set up in order for us to hit
these continuations but what

happened was here was our
original daily extreme I right?

Price came down, induced,
right? Had a break of structure

and then price eventually came
all the way back up to sweep

ever so slightly right this
structure point in order to tap

into the POI and then run right
that is really the only

continuation structure setup I
will ever trade right I'm not a

huge continuation trader right
from a higher time frame

perspective but if you were to
trading those continuations

such as this right these would
be the trades you'd be taking

from a diagram standpoint let's
go over it we went over it

before but here's our higher
high higher low right we then

make a higher high and then a
higher low we then make a

higher high and what can we
notice right higher high higher

low higher high higher low we
clearly clearly have failed to

mitigate the structure point
here. This structure point now

becomes inducement to this POI.
We also have a break of

structure right showing us that
bulls have confirmed buyers in

the market so with that being
said as price comes down wipes

out this inducement here we
should expect price to continue

Can we have a failed high? So
another way of looking at this

is we can still have a higher
high lower low higher high

induced low we can also have
failed supplier demand right so

what's happening here is we
didn't have a break of

structure a lot of people
assume that we always need to

break a structure you don't
always need a break of

structure you can have failed
supply but you gotta know kind

of when to use it right how do
we know that this is failed

supply. We know that this is
failed supply if we are shown a

rejection candle. Alright, so
this is when it comes down to

price action and candlestick
patterns, right? We need a

rejection candle to know we
have failed supply. Right? So

what are some examples of
rejection candles? Right? We

have pin bar candles. Evening
star and or morning star

candlestick pattern. And we can
also look for bearish or

bullish engulfings. Right,
these are the three main

candlestick patterns that I
will use. A lot of people do

not teach candlestick patterns.
And it confuses me because

candlestick patterns are pretty
much going to tell you when

bulls or bears have taken over
the interday market. Right? And

you can also use them on a
higher time frames as well.

These candlestick patterns are
basic price action. Things that

ICT talks about that a lot of
people look, right? WWA lit,

they do not touch on this,
right? Why? I couldn't tell you

why, I really don't know why,
but I, they are super, super

effective when it comes to
identifying inducements and

failed supply or failed demand
in the market. Right? We will

go over continuous examples of
what pin bars are, what evening

and morning stars are, and what
bearish and bullish engulfing

candles are. If you need a
brief review, right? Just go

Google typing candlestick
patterns and I'm sure you're

going to be able to find
something just just like this

right you're going to be able
to find what these candlestick

patterns are they're not too
difficult just to give you a

brief overview right a bullish
engulfing let's pretend that

this is a bearish candle right
this is coming down a bullish

candle just simply engulfs it
that would be a bullish

engulfing and the bearish
engulfing does the opposite now

Morning Star pretend this is a
bullish candle right this could

be a doge and then this is a
bearish candle engulfing this

over here this would be an
example of an evening star and

the morning star is vice versa
the opposite so coming back to

this diagram here right we were
making higher highs and higher

lows right as we have failed
supply we have also seen that

we have inducement right
pointing to this peel so as we

come back down we can still
expect what price to come up in

fire. Not only that but if
that's not enough confirmation

we also have a break of
structure right here to show us

that price is continuing in a
bullish correction. Now let's

continue with live examples
because I personally learn

better with live examples. I
know some people like diagrams

which is why I'm drawing them
out. I'm trying to meet the

needs you know of everybody's
learning style, how everybody

learns. Um let's go back into
drawing out the structure real

time. So as we see here a daily
time frame we clearly have a

bearish market right based on
the daily structure points

after I'm done with the daily
time frame I generally move my

way in to the four hour time
frame Once I'm on the four hour

time frame and real quick let
me take off session breaks.

Once I'm on the four hour time
frame, I then look for these

structure points here. Very
similarly, I will look for my

higher highs.

And then my lower lows. After
this point here I've clearly

seen that we have taken out
these lows and have created

lower highs. And I've seen that
I've taken these lows out and

then took out these four hour
highs. Right? What can I see

right here? After this high and
this low the next high that was

created was right here. Right?
It does not seem as if we have

made another low as of as of
yet. Right? We go from to high

right we could theoretically
punch this as a low to high and

then of course low to high
Right? Then we have here a

break a structure as of right
here. And then the market in

turn on the four hour time
frame has changed directions.

Now I kind of want to show you
that is the basic way of of

drawing out structure. However,
what's important to realize is

there is a huge difference
between external and internal

structure. Right? This right
here as we can see is starting

to develop internal structure.
So how can we find the

difference between external and
internal structure.

What we are primarily going to
be looking to do on these time

frames is drawing out structure
points right each structure

point in the market is a form
of inducement right as simple

as that sounds it is true we
can see on the four hour time

frame here that as I draw this
lines we can see that anytime

price comes out of the line it
induces and then goes the

opposite direction right we can
clearly see that all these

structure points right here
that I've just drawn with the

the support and resistance
lines or inducement lines. Or

the external liquidity right as
we can see price comes down

sweeps the structure point
comes back up sweeps the

structure point comes back up
right same side on the opposite

end of the external liquidity
sweeps the structure point

comes down sweeps the structure
point comes down sweeps the

structure point comes down
right this is all inducement in

the market now that we
understand how to draw out our

external structure we then need
to understand how to draw in

our internal structure. Cuz our
internal structure is also

going to create inducement
points in the market. In order

to find that the internal
structure, we need to go to the

last point of external
structure of where we did not

make a lower low before making
a higher high. Higher high

never had a complete lower low.
Why? Because this lower low

actually made this high, to
make this low, to make this

high, right? This is all
internal structure. All based

on the poor hour. Right? So in
order to do that I will change

my colors right I like to have
green as my external structure

for the four hour I also like
to have teal the lighter blue

as my internal structure for
the four hour time frame What

is happening? This low makes
this high. This low makes this

high. This low gets swept.

Right? A new low is created. I
need to find my marker. And

then we're back into the
pattern of making higher highs

higher lows and higher highs
right so how are the internal

structure points taken right
it's the same exact idea every

single structure point you
want to drag out your

inducement and see if price
comes to sweep the inducement

we can clearly see off of the
most recent price history that

prices come to this four four
hour external liquidity swept

it, and started going short. We
can see when price comes down

to this internal structure
point price swept it and now

price is starting to go what
the opposite direction so we

can tell what we are not
determining direction of the

market by understanding that
the four hours in a bull market

by making higher highs and
higher lows rather we are

waiting for the market to sweep
a structure point go the

opposite direction to tell us
that this is now the true

direction of the market right
liquidity sweeps right or

sweeps of a structural point
and or sweeps of inducements

are what's going to to Sermon,
our bias or direction for the

market. Liquidity is king.
Structure is not king. However,

we need to understand
structure, be able to to

identify structure points. In
order to identify the true

extremes or the true
inducements in the market. So

now that we have an
understanding of how to draw

structure from an internal to
external point of view right

after I'm done with a four hour
marking up different structure

points and here let me finish
marking the rest of these up

we can now see for the future
where price needs to sweep

in order for price to catalyze
a move right we know price on

the 4 hour needs to sweep here
to become bullish we know price

on the 4 hour needs to come
sweep here to become bearish

right this is how we are
viewing our structure points we

are not looking for a break of
structure for us then to

mitigate an extreme right
forget your understanding of

POIs or anything like that
right we need to focus on the

liquidity sweeps right sweeping
the structural points. We have

seen that we can identify the
external liquidity and the

internal liquidity. When the
internal liquidity comes to

match the external liquidity,
right? We can then identify

where the market is going to
run. Hopefully in the future

you'll see that price will
sweep either this higher or low

and then price will determine
the direction of the market.

I thought we spent some time
doing that. Let's move our way

into the hourly.

On the hour, I usually use
orange to mark up my structure

points right and what I'll do
is I'll find my most recent

structure point it was here we
can clearly see that before we

had coming into this a lower
high a low I mean a lower low

than a lower high we have seen
what the got swept moved the

opposite direction as well as
this got swept moved the

opposite direction however we
can see from a structural

standpoint this lower high made
this lower low this lower low

came up swept these highs made
this higher high into this

higher low into this higher
high into this higher low and

now into this higher high so we
can see what from a structural

standpoint we can see that the
hourly clearly had a break of

structure here right and a
break of structure here but

what do we notice about this
break of structure this wasn't

really necessarily a break of
structure What happened was

this was actually a liquidity
sweep into this POI which

caused price to move down.
Right? So what's going to

happen a lot of the time is on
the hourly as we move down in

the time frames is we will have
higher highs and higher lows.

Sure we will have a BOS right
but this is also known as a

liquidity sweep in which we
might mitigate a POI in the

past to come down lower now
because we have this liquidity

this liquidity sweep or BOS
sure it is still probable to

take this extreme and then take
price the opposite direction

right so we would be entering
in short here

and then going along right back
here. Right to maintain the

direction of the market.

What I also want to point out,
we still want to drag over our

inducements, right? We still
need to understand that if

price comes and it sweeps any
of these levels we should start

looking for reversals right if
price comes and sweeps here

here or here we can exprite the
price to tap in and run if we

miss this we tap here and run
and if we miss that our most

probable will come from our
external liquidity on the four

hour and we will see price come
in tap and run

All this is just pretty much
understanding how to draw in

structure. If you're a little
lost, do not worry. Because

we're going to still go over
continuous examples of this,

okay? Once we have identified
our hourly structure, we can

then move in to the 15minute.

On the 15 minute I'm looking in
between this. and this. here I

can clearly see that we have
made highs I'll make 15 minute

red into lows here into highs
into lows back into these highs

here Now, what have we noticed?
What is in between all the 15

minute highs and lows? More
structure, right? You could

theoretically come in intra day
and mark up even more structure

which we will do. I want to do
the same thing again and I

want to mark out all of the
structure points, right? All

the inducements. Here's another
inducement. Another inducement.

Break of structure another
break of structure so if price

were to come all the way back
down I would still expect it to

come sweep this structure point
and perhaps mitigate something

in here or I could see it
streak this structure point or

this hourly structure point and
come mitigate something here

and or sweep this structure
point in this structure point

and mitigate something here To
go higher.

All of those are possibilities
in the market. Now what's

happening is if we look back I
see that these were once

hourly structure points.

Which would allow me to see
that these highs

have the ability to get swept
up here and then run. We will

then find some sort of reversal
around this this area here we

can see there's tons of
inducement tons of support

right so we will most likely
see price come all the way down

sweep and run again and then
we're going to come all the way

back up to this inducement
sweep and then run right and

that is sort of like a little
bit of an introduction to

algorithm structure which will
go into more detail about Now,

as we go in to intraday, right?
We will see. That price has

even more structure ports.

It does get a little bit harder
to identify them here. I am

going to make these yellow.

As you can see we're still just
marking out higher highs and

lower lows right back to lower
lows the higher highs right

such as here into this higher
high to lower low higher high

to lower low higher high to
lower low notice what happens

during the session

we've seen that we have not
necessarily reacted off of any

POI but our inducements will
point to the to the most

correct POI if we're coming
back into this session here

right we have seen that these
were all the main structure

points within the interday
session for London right as we

have moved out of London the
first area of liquidity that we

have seen to sweep is actually
the Asian highs right here as

slip the Asian highs right we
have seen that prices come back

in to tap an OV to move higher
right but what I want to focus

on and show you guys is where
price is sweeper you can see

that price has come all the way
up swept liquidity has moved

the opposite direction we have
then come down to sweep more

liquidity and then move the
opposite direction there are

ways to enter this alright it's
not just based on higher time

frame and just simply because
there is a sweep we will

eventually go into entries and
how you can catch these moves

once price sweeps liquidity all
this video is this first video

is just identifying structure
points okay all I want you guys

to be able to do and to know
how to do after this video is

understand just how to draw in
all your structure points from

a high time frame to low time
frame view right we're not

Gonna go into the five minute
or one minute just yet. The

majority of this video is
simply just understanding

structure from the daily to the
four hour to the one hour to

the 15 minute, right? Get very
comfortable being able to draw

out these structure points,
right? Yes, I do use the

15-minute time frame to mark up
the intricate structure. As you

saw, I came into here, right?
And like what I did was I found

my hourly structure points then
in between my hourly structure

points, I was marking up, lower
low, oops, lower lows into

lower highs into lower lows
into lower highs into lower

lows right I saw this broke
structure into higher highs

higher lows this looks like
consolidation this comes higher

highs higher lows higher highs
higher lows keep on doing that

really get comfortable finding
the true highs and lows in the

market across all time frames
right the more you get better

at doing that the more you're
going to be able to find the

true inducement and the sweeps
in the market alright now that

we have gone over pretty much
the basics of structure and a

little bit of an introduction
into liquidity grabs and

inducements let's understand
that continuations yes are

fully based off of the break of
structure right and then we

need to see price induce and
then hit our POI as shown in

the beginning we understand
that our reversals are really

mainly based off of the higher
time frames right we can see as

we induce a structure point
price nine times out of 10 is

going to reverse right induce a
structure. 9 times out of 10 is

going to reverse and we see
that almost every single time

here price comes into a
structure point reverses high

time structure point reverses
so that is basically my

starting point on how I'm able
to identify continuations and

reversals strictly based off of
the structure oh my god is this

going to get even more amazing
once I go into liquidity

injections which will be within
the next video. So now that

we've gone over structure
basics, right? And a little bit

of advanced structure, a little
bit of continuations, a little

bit of reversals. Let's go over
what an imbalance is.

Imbalances and wicks. What we
need to understand here that

imbalances in reality

They're basically imbalances
are part of price. What does

that mean? Imbalances are
everywhere. Alright? Imbalances

are pretty much the only part
of price that are not a part of

consolidation. What does that
mean? If there's imbalances

occurring at any point in
price, that means price has the

ability to do what? Reverse or
continue at any time. Right? If

I come into the candle here,
imbalance to me can be any one

of these wicks. Right? Price
has the ability to react off

any of these wicks. Why?
Because wicks have rejection.

They have obese within them.
Meaning if Christ simply comes

into a wick and mitigates it
has the ability to drop, fall

or rise. Right? To give you an
example, And my favorite way of

introducing imbalances. The way
that I teach it, the way that I

like for people to understand
is your most powerful OBs come

from not only a bullish
engulfing but an imbalance in

between them. I'm a big fan of
15-minute OBs, ten-minute OBs,

13-minute OBs, those mid-time
frame OBs, why? They keep a

relatively tight stop loss and
they're also pretty accurate

and considered to be high time
frame, right? So how do these

imbalances work? We look at
this candle and clearly see

that we have made an OV why do
I love it I love it because as

I look at this OB right I see
that there is a clear imbalance

between this candle and this
candle right and I'm going to

diagram this app for you guys
exactly like this keep in mind

this should be a 1234 candle
count right we'll have candle

one come in let's pretend it is
bearish right candle two come

in bearish candle four candle
three bullish

And then candle four. Also
bullish.

Let's bring in the wicks in
here.

This candle here is going to be
candle one, candle two, candle

three, and candle four.

We want to identify candle two
and candle four. And in this

example down here this will be
candle two this will be candle

four alright we mark it up
candle two candle four what do

we notice about the wick and
the wick here the wick and the

wick here there is clearly this
gap in between it Right? This

is a very, very, very powerful
imbalance. These are the most

powerful imbalances in the
market to date. Right? Not only

is there an imbalance here
there is a massive OB bullish

engulfing OB right at the outer
extremity of price So here's

our OB, here's our imbalance,
telling us that this OB is an

extremely valid and powerful
OB.

What's important to understand
here price does not always need

to come tap in to the OV simply
price can just come in tap the

imbalance and run right so
sometimes while we're placing

our positions we may want to
have it one two pips ahead just

in case price hits the
imbalance and runs right and or

you can risk a tinier position
on the imbalance one position

here and then another Within
the POI. Right? So hopefully

that gives you a little bit
more of an understanding of how

I'm identifying the true
imbalances in the market

putting it all together right
we see we have a POI here a POI

there these POIs both are
producing what in the market

order flow and we're going to
go over order flow here in a

little bit Right? Before we
were talking about structure

making higher highs. Higher
lows. Higher highs. And higher

high and higher lows right?
Remember I said but we're

trading inter day structure. We
don't want to be trading to

this extreme. You can clearly
see we got stopped out. Why?

Because price had to do what?
Sweep liquidity. You're

probably like why didn't we
mitigate this extreme then?

Right? We should have mitigated
this extreme in condo. Are we

on the outer extremity of
price? Are we still inducing a

POI? Yes. Notice how this low
is also inducing a POI. Which

we got slept taking it in rant.
Is this inducing a POI? Right?

We have clearly mitigated

Right here onto this POI. There
was once an imbalance. Price

came in, mitigated the
imbalance, mitigated the POI

and had a reaction. Price
clearly came back, swept. Right

to produce this POI with
another imbalance between this

candle and this candle right we
clearly see that this never had

that happen this never had that
happen on the 15 minute this

will be a did

hopefully that all makes a
little bit of sense on how to

understand imbalances right and
how I use imbalances to confirm

my OBs we can now see a little
bit on how structure can act as

confluence and confirmation to
that POI right and clearly see

that the structure point is
inducing this POI

Alright so now that we
understand imbalances a little

bit more let's go into
understanding wicks now wicks

are OBs now this is thing that
isn't really shown in most

community in most trading
communities but simply do we

need to take an entire OB such
as so the answer is no simply

if we have massive wicks like
so these wicks will not only

act as a refinement to your OB
but are also considered OBs and

imbalances in the market right
I go back into time here right

we can clearly see that these
wicks on the bottom were all

mitigated right these wicks
were all mitigated right we

wouldn't have to take the full
OB we can simply take the wicks

these wicks will act as a
refinement for the Most part

and or if price doesn't have an
OB with an imbalance we can

take our wick as the OB with an
imbalance for example We

clearly see here that price
comes up we have a bearish

candle and then this candle
right being candle to I mean

being candle three let's
pretend that this do the candle

count method again here is
candle one candle 2 candle

three and candle four what do
we notice between candle two in

candle four there must be an
imbalance luckily this candle's

wick never came up to mitigate
this candle's wick which has

OBs in it considering that we
can take this candle's wick

drag it over and what do we
notice Price had to sweep this

candle into this OB for price
to run. Right this wick a lot

of people are not shown this
because this is why people are

missing these types of trades
right we can clearly see over

here what that these wicks were
never mitigated a lot of people

were probably buying price
around here in reality we

should have been buying here
why is that This was not your

true OB. There was no true
imbalance. I only like taking

OBs that have an imbalance.
These wicks down here were

never mitigated. Right? And
we're not mitigating until

price came right back into here
to mitigate these wicks and run

you will find not only more
accuracy by trading with wicks

and OBs but you will find
smaller refinements and you'll

even find SLs with. 5. 4 on
them right just by trading the

wicks of price you think that's
cool just wait till we get into

the 1 minute right and we're
trading wicks on the 1 minute

knows the wick order flow here
to a normal OB to a wick here

is all just order flow and
constantly causing price drag

it over here to move up right?
Just scrunch it out, look at

the outer extremity as a price,
right? And just notice the

order flow.

It's happening all the time.
Right? We don't need to be so

precise with our OBs. Right the
market doesn't know what an OB

is. It has no clue what an OB
is. Right? Only we know what an

OB is.

So hopefully that is a little
bit of an introduction to you

guys on that so now that we
know what imbalances and wicks

are let's kind of move our way
into IFC's and referring it to

IFCs alright so what is an
institutionally funded candle

basically in my opinion
institutionally funded candles

are those with massive wicks
right those that have shown

true intent in the market this
right here is an

institutionally funded candle
right or an IFC But what I

really want to show you today
are refined RIFCs.

All that it basically means is
when we're on our 15 minute

right we see that we have an OB
such as here in the Wix we will

simply drop on to lower time
frames such as the 5 minute and

look to see on these lower time
frames where the last OB was

identified

The one in which I could see
here with a true imbalance

would be right around this area
here. This will be the refined

version of our POI. Why don't I
like refined POIs? Why don't I

like going on the one minute or
5 minute? What just happened?

But what just happened was we
missed our entry. Right by just

maybe point one pips a couple
point five pips something like

that and we completely missed
the only refined IFCs I like to

take are based off of current
market structure so not

structure that has happened in
the past but is currently

happening in the future or
currently happening in current

time in reality. Here's our tap
of our main IFC or POI. Price

comes up we have a bearish
engulfing right simply this

bearish engulfing has told me
in the one minute that the

market has changed direction
now what I'm looking for is

simply that one minute IFC that
refined RC that has an

imbalance where is it right
here right here's that first

candle that first one minute
candle that clearly has from

candle two to four an
imbalance. If we drag that

across and clearly see that the
position rise now notice our

one minute candle is actually
bigger than our 10 minute and

15 minute wick that is why I'm
saying it does not matter if

you can understand the one
minute charts because you will

still get the same refinements
in the same SLs on the medium

time frames such as the 10
minute 13 minute or 15 minute

Alright, so what is the last
couple things we need to cover

here? Is institutional versus
lower time frame order flow.

Now, I did go over this in my
YouTube video, right? It's very

simple so I'm not going to
spend a lot of time on it.

But basically, what is
institutional order flow?

Institutional order flow is
external liquidity order flow.

The outside of price is
connecting obese and wicks to

each other.

We'll see it happening a little
bit like so. Prices come in

come down come in come down
come in come down come in right

until there is a break of this
external order flow right a

little break of structure right
and now we can expect what more

order flow coming from another
extreme worth the tap here and

continue the whole same process
again tap into more outer order

flow right for it to tap and
then run the opposite way. How

are you able to identify this
on real time? I'll show you.

Let's pretend we're looking at
the market here, right? Let's

mark up all the external
structure points on the 4 hour.

What is the first thing I
noticed was the last point of

liquidity that was swept here

here the last points that are
swept generally can take an OB

here are all these wicks

this right here made another
connection another OB here how

did I draw that in and I said
there always must be an

imbalance right between these
are wicks so these clearly have

an imbalance price comes in
mitigates and runs I come here

yes this had an imbalance from
this candle this candle here

but this candle here also had
an imbalance to this candle

here so all this is valid now
Look, we then create more water

flow internally.

Which then extends out to here.
This is basically what

institutional order flow is it
is just order flow on the

outside of price now in order
to refine institutional order

flow right we must hop in to
the five or one minute charts I

personally like the the one
minute charts when finding

lower time frame order flow So
how do we find lower time frame

order flow? We want to go to
where we had the higher time

frame order flow. And we
want to see how price is

reacting within the higher time
frame order flow.

Seeing that we're clearly
mitigating and reacting here

where would my entry be based
off of the lower time frames we

want to see price come into the
higher time frame order flow

now once we have come into the
higher time frame order flow we

want to see a liquidity grab or
sweep of that first order flow

of that first grab right here
would be that first grab coming

into it we see structure coming
in but we need to see a change

of character should have been
right here once we've seen that

change of character we want to
identify the low that caused

that high which would be right
here coming into that low

we do not need to have an
imbalance for our OBs simply we

could grab the wicks such as
here which do have an imbalance

and this OB here

this would be your
institutional order I mean your

lower time frame order flow now
it doesn't seem that price came

back to mitigate here which is
fine so how would we know to

pick up more order flow well
after this order flow has

established right and we had
our change of character right

here where was the OB that
caused this break of structure

Right here. Now are we going to
take this entry right here?

Absolutely not. We're going to
wait for price to come up

again. Right? Have some sort of
change of character. Which

would have happened Right? So
we then need to find The OB

that caused this break of
structure.

Which would be right here. It
doesn't seem in this example, I

am in a random spot, there is
no established order flow, so

I'd simply have no trades. We
need price to establish order

flow for us to have the most
probable position. Let me see

if I can find an example. Of
where we might have this.

Uh this is actually a good one
right here.

Here were structure points in
the past. We've clearly seen

that we've had a break of
structure here right where was

the OB that caused this break
of structure right and this

break of structure here as well

this OB into this OB
established order flow right we

can clearly see that they have
broken structure as of right

here and because of that It has
allowed us to continuously grab

buy orders along the flow here.
Right, we're simply finding the

OB at broke structure Right and
seeing how it changed order

flow on it and if price keeps
tapping into the flow we should

continuously get buys. Given
why did this invalidate? I'm

going to show you why why did
this invalidate because where

do we have our break of
structure? Right here. So,

where was the OB that caused
the break of structure? Right

here but did we have order flow
now so we knew not to continue

buying we knew to continue
buying here because these OBs

cause this break of structure
right in reality we wouldn't

have known order flow
established until this here our

true entry would have been this
right here if you want to see a

little bit more on order flow
higher time frame lower time

frame order flow it is not
really a main part of my

strategy right we actually Had
not gone into really the main

parts of my strategy. This is
all just normal SMC review.

Understanding breaks of
structures, liquidity grabs,

had a draw and structure
basics, right? This is nothing

crazy yet, right? I just wanted
to make sure I got a video on

some review of SMC, a little
bit of review of order flow,

imbalances and wicks. If you
didn't really understand the

majority of this, that's okay.
This is not the primary part of

my strategy. We're going to go
over constant examples of my

strategy this is just like a
little introduction for those

who need a little bit of review
on just what water flow is,

what structure is, just
identifying highs and lows,

right? The differences between
continuations and reversals And

you know I will touch on
Whitecoff eventually. I want to

do it on this video because
this video is getting a little

long. But hopefully this was a
little bit of a review on POIs,

just what POI is, how to draw
proper POIs with the proper

imbalance. The biggest takeaway
from this video is simply just

how to draw higher highs,
higher lows, and how to draw in

POIs that have an imbalance on
the 15-minute charts. That

those should be the two biggest
takeaways from this video

because those will come into
play a little later right? So,

really practice understanding
those structure points really

understand How wicks come into
play because we're going to see

that a lot and really how to
identify those imbalances right

especially on the 15 minute
time frame right where I'm

coming in and we need to
identify these POIs such as

these that clearly have what an
imbalance like this in between

it that is really your biggest
takeaway I would say that in

identifying just higher highs
higher lows we know that this

has broken structure right but
us to continue. Like I said,

we're going to have many, many
videos on this, alright? So, if

you feel a little lost, don't
worry, I'm going to constantly

review this, right? It's not
like I'm producing one video

and you're done. Alright, I'm
going to have so many videos

coming out. So yeah, hope
hopefully you guys enjoyed

this, understood a little bit
more of structure and the basic

basics of structure. I will see
you guys in the next video.
