Takeaways

• 😀 A Break of Structure (BOS) is a key concept in trading where price moves out of its established range, forming a new price structure.
• 😀 The market is split into three key zones: Discount (buy zone), Fair Price (neutral zone), and Premium (sell zone).
• 😀 Price movement from internal liquidity to external liquidity is known as Basic Repricing, which often follows a break of structure.
• 😀 Compressive Repricing happens when price moves from one internal liquidity point to the opposite internal liquidity, signaling a shift between extremes.
• 😀 The Master Range refers to the larger market structure that dictates the overall price flow and usually holds priority over lower time frames.
• 😀 Micro Ranges exist within Master Ranges, representing smaller price movements on lower time frames, but still respecting the macro structure.
• 😀 Extreme Zones represent the lowest and highest points of price ranges, akin to purchasing at a discount and selling at a premium.
• 😀 Inducement Swings are deceptive price moves that cause misidentification of valid ranges. Traders should be cautious of fake ranges formed without absorbing external liquidity.
• 😀 Profile Changes indicate a shift in market structure, like moving from supply and demand zones to support and resistance zones, usually after a break of structure.
• 😀 Entry strategies include buying at extreme discounts and selling at extreme premiums, with additional strategies like break and retest and waiting for inducement swings to be absorbed.

Q & A

What is the basic concept of a 'break of structure' in the context of trading?

A 'break of structure' occurs when price breaks through a defined level of support or resistance, indicating a potential shift in the market's direction. This marks a key turning point where a new range or trend can begin to form.

What is meant by the term 'dealing range' in the script?

A 'dealing range' refers to the price range formed after a break of structure, within which price may fluctuate before continuing its movement, often forming a new range or trend.

How is the range divided into different categories, and what do these categories represent?

The range is divided into three categories: discount, fair price, and premium. 'Discount' represents lower price levels, 'fair price' represents neutral or average price levels, and 'premium' represents higher price levels. These categories help traders assess potential buy or sell opportunities.

What is the difference between 'basic repricing' and 'compressive repricing'?

'Basic repricing' occurs when price moves from internal liquidity to external liquidity, often accompanied by a break of structure and a retracement to a supply or demand zone. 'Compressive repricing' refers to price moving from one internal liquidity level to another, typically moving between extremes within a range.

What role does the 'master range' play in the market structure?

The 'master range' is the higher time frame range that dictates the overall order flow of the market. It holds priority over lower time frame structures and will typically override short-term price movements, guiding the general direction of the market.

What does it mean when a market is in 'premium' or 'discount'?

In trading, 'premium' refers to a market being at higher price levels, typically where sellers are more active, while 'discount' refers to lower price levels, where buying interest might be stronger. Traders often look to buy at discount levels and sell at premium levels.

What are 'extreme zones' in market analysis?

Extreme zones represent the outer edges of a range, where prices are at their highest or lowest within the context of the market's current structure. Traders view these zones as areas where they can purchase at low prices (discount) or sell at high prices (premium) for potential profit.

What is an 'inducement swing' and why is it important in trading?

An 'inducement swing' is a price movement that misleads traders into identifying a range or setup incorrectly. It typically occurs when price moves within a small range and causes traders to take premature positions, often leading them into false trades or liquidity traps.

What are the key differences between 'supply and demand' structures and 'support and resistance' structures?

In 'supply and demand' structures, price reacts to extreme price levels where buying or selling pressure is likely to occur. In contrast, 'support and resistance' structures represent price levels where price tends to either reverse or stall, typically due to previous price action. The distinction lies in the strength and type of market behavior at these levels.

How can traders avoid misidentifying a range and taking bad trades?

Traders can avoid misidentifying ranges by waiting for confirmation of a break of structure before marking up a range. Additionally, they should avoid marking ranges prematurely and focus on understanding if price has reached an extreme or fair price zone, ensuring their trades are aligned with the dominant market structure.
