Advanced market structure is the difference between a "gamble" and a "trade."
I just pulled $8,170 out of the market using the SIR MODEL during Asia Globex session
1/ The Strong Low Break: If it breaks the trend is dead and short it
2/ The 80% Retracement: I don't chase. I wait for price to come back to the "Golden Zone" before entering short
3/ Aggressive Scaling: When the trade hits your direction, don’t just watch. Add contracts at structural retests.

Sorry, forgot to post this. I have a TV indicator for everything. This one for SMT includes alerts, which often comes in handy. If on $NQ, default works fine. If on $ES, change the 1st setting to $NQ. I also prefer to check "detect one SMT per pivot" ✅

$ES $MES IB - TBL GATED - TP2 - BE
Incredibly excited about this new algo I’ve been writing.
Here’s the spec below 👇🏻
-IB (initial balance forms)
-Identifies if TBL’s (time based liquidity) levels are above (long) or below (short)
-Algo will only fire IF TBL is above or below
-2 TP’s (take profit)
-Toggle to BE (break even stop) after TP1 is taken down.
-Allows for up to 2 trades per day.

The Essence Model indicator is live.
Built around @ry_trades_ four daily frameworks, automatically identifies which session manipulates, which expands, and where the trade exists.
The structure reads itself.

🚨 Most traders are trying to PASS prop firm challenges.
Meanwhile… some firms are hiring people FULL-TIME just to manage automated prop firm systems.
Salary advertised: 💰 $2,000–$10,000/month
The industry is changing fast.
This Upwork listing is looking for a:
• Full-Time Virtual Trading Assistant
• Managing funded/prop firm accounts
• Running automated trading software daily
• Setting up bots on MT5 & Tradovate
• Tracking payouts/results
• Following strict trading SOPs
What stood out to me most?
They explicitly say:
“You don’t need to be an expert trader.”
Read that again.
The edge today is no longer just:
❌ predicting candles
❌ drawing more lines
❌ buying another course
It’s:
✅ systems
✅ execution
✅ probabilities
✅ automation
✅ process
The trading industry is quietly evolving from discretionary gambling…
into data-driven operational businesses.
And most retail traders still haven’t noticed.
The question is:
Will future traders survive on opinions…
or on systems? 👇

I've made over $100k/m from trading. Here's literally everything you need to know to do the same - in one post…
No course. No upsell. Just the truth that took me years to figure out.
This is exactly what my private clients use to make $40k+/month. I'm giving it away for free
THE ONLY THING PRICE DOES:
Price moves from fair value gaps (internal liquidity) to swing highs/lows (external liquidity). Then back. Forever.
That's it. That's the entire market.
- External liquidity = where stops cluster (highs and lows everyone sees)
- Internal liquidity = where orders didn't fill (gaps in price)
Price sweeps external → fills internal → targets opposite external
Every day. Every asset. Every timeframe. This is the model. There are no exceptions
THE FILTER BEFORE THE SETUP:
Before you even look for an entry, you need to know if the candle you're trading inside supports the move
Check the 4-hour candle. Two things:
Wick size - small wick = expansion candle, your setup has room to work. Large wick = reversal candle, the next candle will expand, not this one. Don't trade inside it
How it forms - bullish candle should open low first. Bearish should open high first. If it opens the wrong direction, the profile doesn't support expansion. Skip it
This is candle profiling. It's fractal. What the daily candle does, the 4-hour does inside it. What the 4-hour does, the 1-hour does inside that. Models inside models. Each timeframe confirming the one above it
Wrong candle profile = no trade. This alone eliminates 40% of losing days
THE SESSION FILTER:
The market rotates between reversal and continuation across sessions
If the previous session REVERSED - this session CONTINUES from a gap
If NO session reversed - this session IS the reversal
The 6AM candle confirms which one. Sweep and close back inside = reversal day. Expand through = continuation day
You know the direction before 9:30 opens. Most traders show up blind. You show up with a script
THE CORRELATED ASSET FILTER:
NQ and ES and YM should make the same highs and lows. When they don't - when one breaks out and the others refuse to follow - that's a crack in correlation. The breakout is fake
This is SMT. One crack is a signal. Two cracks is confirmation
First crack: one asset sweeps a level, the other doesn't
Second crack: the asset that was strongest now closes in the opposite direction - we are strength switching
Two-stage SMT at a key level is the highest probability reversal signal in the market. It happens before the move shows up on your chart. The correlated asset told you 3-4 candles early
THE ONLY SETUP YOU NEED:
1) Identify a significant high or low on the 4H/Daily - but make sure it's a RELEVANT swing. Not a failure swing with stacked liquidity beyond it. The extreme. Valid separation. Nothing past it
2) Wait for price to SWEEP it (not just touch - actually take the liquidity)
3) Confirm with SMT - did the correlated asset follow? If yes, no trade yet. If no, the sweep is fake. Now you're looking
4) Wait for the fair value gap to form after the sweep - but in the RIGHT ZONE. Within the upper half of the previous candle's range. Close proximity to the opening price. Not deep in no-man's land
5) Confirm with the V-shape on the lower timeframe - expansion in, displacement out, new gap forms. No V-shape = no entry. Doesn't matter how clean the level looks
6) Enter when price returns to fill that gap. Stop behind the sweep. Target the opposite relevant swing (minimum 2.5R)
THE TIME ELEMENT:
Price doesn't move randomly throughout the day. It moves at specific times because institutions need volume catalysts to execute large orders
9:30 AM - NY stock exchange open. Highest volume. This is where the sweep happens
10:00 AM - new 4-hour candle opens. If 9:30 was manipulation, 10:00 is often the reversal
10:30 AM - new 90-minute candle. Third catalyst window. If it hasn't happened yet, it happens here
12:00 PM - new 6-hour candle. Last catalyst of the session. After this, probability drops
If your setup doesn't align with one of these windows - it's not a setup. It's noise between catalysts
THE ONLY RULES THAT MATTER:
- Risk 0.5% on prop challenges. 1-2% on live capital. Never more
- Never enter without all filters confirmed - candle profile, session, SMT, gap zone, V-shape
- Never trade outside catalyst windows
- Never target less than 2.5:1 reward to risk
- 2 trades maximum per day. After 2, laptop closes. There is no trade 3
THE ONLY SCHEDULE THAT WORKS:
- 6:00 AM: Check candle profile + session. Mark the gap. 10 minutes
- 9:15 AM: Open correlated assets side by side. Mark key levels
- 9:30-10:30 AM: Execute. 1-2 trades. Done
- 10:30 AM: Laptop closed. Day over
- If no setup by 10:30, no trade. Capital preserved
THE SIMPLE TRUTH:
Trading is simple. Not easy, but simple.
The market sweeps liquidity, fills gaps, targets opposite liquidity. Over and over. The sessions tell you the direction. The candle profile tells you whether to trade. The correlated assets tell you if the move is real. The catalyst windows tell you when. The V-shape tells you the exact entry
Your job is to check 5 filters, wait for the alignment, enter at the right spot, and not fuck it up with emotions
95% of traders lose because they skip the filters. They see a gap and enter. They see a level and click buy. No candle check. No session check. No SMT. No V-shape. Just vibes
Be the 5%. It's not about being smarter. It's about checking 5 boxes before clicking a button

Back on TradingView: 30s Model Indicator.
TradingView moderation pulled the original after months live and 400+ likes, citing the description as too thin. Frustrating, but here we are. This is the republish, same model, cleaner build, with a description that should clear the bar.
It looks for one specific setup on NQ/MNQ: a recent swing gets swept, then a fair value gap forms within 6 bars. Long below, short above.

Alright monkeys 🐒
It’s training week… and since the bots are making money while I sleep, I’m in a good mood 😄
