The 10-second version

- Is there a clear inversion?
- Is there an unfilled gap?
- Am I in one of my two session windows?
Practice and review
The 7 gates
Liquidity
Previous day’s high or low swept, or a session high or low, or a clear, obvious swing, visible on 15 minutes or higher.
Fail: do nothing.
Displacement
A strong expansion candle after the sweep, intent away from it, structure clearly shifting (not chop).
Fail: fake sweep, skip.
Inversion
Note which of the 15m, 5m and 3m inversions are present and circle the highest. Entry uses the highest only.
Fail: invalid entry.
Gap
An unfilled gap on 15m, 5m or 3m (minimum), formed by the displacement leg.
Fail: no reason for price to rebalance.
Target clarity
TP1 is the first unfilled gap (1R). An external target exists: equal highs or lows, the previous day’s high or low, or a session extreme.
Fail: unclear risk to reward, skip.
Execution lock
Entry marked. Stop at the bottom of the body of the candle that created the inversion. Risk fixed. Partial at 1R and break even after TP1 planned.
Then: the trade is locked, no more thinking.
