Trading Rules ⚠️

Price Directional Bias

This is based on the TDI RSI price line at Premium/Discount Zone on M5 and M1 timeframe. All timeframes must be in sink printing the-same Bias to confirm the market direction at a given time [M15 TDI RSI price line at the premium/discount zone is a plus].

PS: You can execute at your own risk once the RSI price line tap into the premium/discount zone because it repaints with the candle movement or wait for the candle closure (only applies to the M5/M15 timeframe).

Trade Execution

If you get your M1 timeframe Directional Bias before NYSE open and a shark fin opposing the intended directional bias before/during NYSE session, wait for a shark fin to get printed on the intended directional bias before placing your first trade or look for entry opportunities using the SMC entry model.

PS: Always wait for the candle closure for both M1 timeframe directional bias and entry confirmations.

Trade Re-Entry

Re-enter on M5 timeframe rejection candle stick if and only if; you got wicked out of the trade and didn’t get a re-entry opportunity on the M1 timeframe but the M5 candle closes with that confirmation candle stick.

Scale In Position Entry Missed

If price missed your scale in position entry, wait for price to miss the second market structure and create the third market structure break. Execute your position on the second structure unmitigated supply/demand zone or FVG.

Or execute on the next M1 TDI RSI price line at premium zone after a shark-fin upon the nice rejection candle printed.
