Price doesn't move to satisfy an indicator — it moves to where the orders are. Everything below finds those orders before price gets there, and sets a rule for what to do when it arrives. Terms with a dotted underline explain themselves on hover.
Stops rest above equal highs and below equal lows. That is fuel — and price goes to fetch it.
The dollar index is the compass on the HTF. You decide direction before the session opens, not during it.
A quiet session builds the high and low that the London kill zone will hunt.
Fair value gaps, order blocks and breakers: the inefficiencies price returns to fill.
When GBP/USD refuses to make the same low, the low that just broke was a trap — a liquidity sweep.
Stop, target and R-value are written down before the click. Invalidation is a level, not a feeling.
One worked example and one common mistake for each concept above — the difference between reading about the method and actually trading it.
Example — EUR/USD prints three equal highs at the same level over two days. That's not resistance, it's a magnet: stops sit just above it, waiting to be taken.
Common mistake — fading equal highs because "it looks like resistance," instead of expecting the sweep first.
Example — DXY makes a lower low into London while EUR/USD refuses to make a new low of its own — that disagreement is your bias, before EUR/USD ever confirms it alone.
Common mistake — trading EUR/USD in isolation and missing the one chart that would've kept you out of a countertrend trade.
Example — Asia builds a tight overnight range; London opens and takes the low by a few pips before reversing hard — the exact play this method is built around.
Common mistake — trading a breakout of Asia's own range during the quiet session, instead of waiting for London to hunt it.
Example — price sweeps the Asia low, then returns to fill a 15-minute FVG left on the way down — that return is the entry, not the sweep candle itself.
Common mistake — entering directly on the sweep wick instead of waiting for price to come back to the array.
Example — EUR/USD makes a lower low but GBP/USD refuses to — that disagreement is your confirmation the low was a trap, not real selling pressure.
Common mistake — skipping the correlated-pair check and trading the sweep on EUR/USD alone.
Example — stop goes a couple pips beyond the sweep wick, target sits at the opposing liquidity pool — the trade is either a clean 1:3R or it doesn't get taken.
Common mistake — moving the stop after entry because "it feels like it'll come back."
None of this needs an indicator. An indicator can tell you price crossed a line — it can't tell you where the resting orders are, or why price is going to visit them. Read structure once, on one pair, and you stop needing a new indicator every time the last one stops working.
