so over the past four years of trading I've tested hundreds of different entry models I'm going to show you the top three that I found that give me the highest win rate and the best TR award and they're pretty simple I have an 83% win rate using this so I have three main entry models a type one type two and a type three the first two type one and type two is mainly candle Behavior so it's individual candles what kind of does that mean um it's how does a candle move throughout the life cycle of a candle how does the previous candle close effect the next candle open if you have a candle close bullish here and you've been moving kind of bullish uh and you're looking to then create a buy um for a continuation of that uptrend you want to be first looking forward to open create a bottom Wick in that first half of that candle so if this is an hourly candle you're looking for it to create a bottom Wick in that first half maybe the first 30 minutes maybe in the first 15 minutes just to create that bottom Wick and then push bullish in that second half of that candle so that's candle Behavior what this would look like on Market structure wise is that you just have a clear uptrend here candle behavior and Market structure two main thing they're two main ways that I break price action down into and that's how I analyze and Define these type one type two type threes what this would look like is just you have a candle open creating a bottom Wick and then you have a push forward candle Behavior makes it really easy to give timing to Market structure when are you looking for a pullback when are you looking for a push maybe looking for a pullback in the first half of this new hour looking for a push in the second half of that new hour and this is why I trade the second hour of a session with my Discord every single day because it's so easy trading that new 4-Hour candle in that first half with that candle Behavior but how this relates to type 1es type twos type threes a type one is just a simple candle close you're going from a bullish candle close to a bearish candle close so it's a change in Direction on that candle close an example here is that you have a bullish candle close and then you have a bearish candle close that's a type one you have a candle close in your direction so if I'm looking for sales overall direction is bearish I want candle close on a certain time frame to be in my direction if I go on to Gold um a type one would just be a candle close in my direction I'm looking for it to create a top Wick in that first half of the candle here um entering above the open so if I'm looking for a sell I want to enter above the open to get the best entry what that look like so trying to enter on that pullback on this type one and I Define levels just at the open and the close of price so just at the at the body that's how I Define levels at so another level would be here and then there it be like an an a of Interest into so that's how I Define areas of Interest levels that relates into those type ones type twos type threes so type one is just a bullish to bearish Candle close if I'm looking for sales this is good because now the hourly candle is align planning with that so I'll be looking for a sell in that first half of this new hour above the open to create that top Wick to hopefully push flip in that second half so that's a type one if we go to a type two it's exactly the same as a type one but you're closing Beyond structure Beyond a level you're going from a bullish to bearish or a bearish to a bullish candle close but you're closing Beyond a level remember we talked about a level being at the open and the close of price when you go from bullish to B but you're closing beyond that example of a type two here would be this candle close you have a close Beyond a level here the counter body closes Beyond a level um so you're looking forward to create a top Wick in that first half of that candle have a pull back to either this level or this level depending on how big the break is and take a sell above the open there so this would be a type two where you go from a bearish to a bullish but you close a above that level there another example this would be a type one here you go from a bearish candle close to a bullish candle close looking to take a buy below the open um for flip and push bullish so type one's type twos that's mainly 5 minute and up so because you're trading individual candles you're trading 30 minutes an hour of price action uh whereas if you go onto low time frame Market structure you're trading the exact same period of time time just looking at it in more detail so a type one on the 50-minute time frame might look like a type three on the woman minute time frame what is a Type 3 a Type 3 is just a shift in Market structure change of character very similar um you're just having a change in character if you're looking for a sale um and you're making higher highs and higher lows you're looking for it to First create a new high break a high then immediately break a low here you want volume to come in a really strong move bearish and a strong break of a low that's probably one of the cleanest type threes you always want to be trading with volume in your direction in your favor I'm always looking to enter with volume so this is a clear shift a break a type three so you're looking to enter on that pullback and then um hopefully take a sell stop above the high targeting a previous low or previous air of Interest here a nice trade it would look like this I mainly use this on one and 5 minute but price is fractal you can see this on the hourly on the 50 minute this happens on 4 Hour the daily price is all fractal um so even on the weekly you can see here we have a weekly type one close bearish you go from a bullish to a bearish candle close like got previous a of Interest so you can look for sales around there you have another bullish type one here bit of a bearish like a bullish type one here bullish type two CU you close Beyond this structure so it's all fractal you can use it to find direction to find an air of interest um and then to find entries as well so that's how you kind of refine and stack those time frames so these entry models type 1es type 2 type 3es is all about aligning and connecting different time frames uh in your favor this is why in my journal um I have types but I also have time frame types is it a one minute type 3 p minute type two am I entering with 15 and 30 minute close in my direction is that type one or type two um lots of detail that you can go into so it's very simple on the entry models but um it's all about stacking those different time frames and connecting them to a line that's how you stack probabilities in your favor have a 15-minute type one candle close bearish here where you're you make that top Wick create that new high and then you have a strong rejection reaction you go break that low you have a candle close bearish you're creating this pullback here on that new 15-minute top work being formed so you're looking to take a sell above the open the best trade always be sells above the open or buyers below the open that push and that pull you always want to keep in mind that the markets always be in a constant push and pull it loves to fill its moves when you have a push when you're going to have a pull back um think of price session as an elastic band um it's a wrestle between buyers and sellers when you have a big push you might have a snap back of that elastic band so always be mindful of that so I'm going to run you through an example of a gold buy that I took yesterday with the Discord that played up pretty nicely um that we all kind of took together pretty clean price action on this so I run you through a simple example of how I identified and took this so I always going to start with high time frame wise so if we just go back to here um daily wise we had a previous daily close bearish so counter Behavior wise in that first half of the day you're kind of looking forward to create that top Wick and then maybe have a push down going on to the 4 Hour that's looking pretty pretty clearly bearish you kind of have a bit of a 4H hour type three so a bit of a shift on the 4H hour also looking bearish um on the 1 hour still again looking very bearish you have a break of a low um kind ofec this a of Interest very kind of bearish here so it's all kind of looking bearish but if we go down into this recent price action we've kind of broken a low we have this previous like kind of small time frame structure um but we've broken some highs so a bit of like a a type three bullish keeping in mind that high time frame is going to be bearish have overall structure being bearish um but this most recent structure is bullish with it being in the first half of that day with the previous daily candle close bearish you're looking forward to create a top Wick first and then have a reaction to maybe this previous air of interest to then drive down so low time frame bullish High time frame bearish which is what I put in the Discord at just before the second hour open low time frame bullish High time frame bearish using this analysis here and and now we at the second hour of Asia the 4H hour has closed bullish so that's add a confirmation that in this period of time we are going to be bullish first um and then we can look for sales later so if we go on to the alley time frame we have an alley type two we have a close Beyond structure Beyond a level here pretty clear um and it's looking pretty nice so 30 minute all looking bullish so in this C period of time we are looking bullish even though high temp from Wise it is bearish you have a bit of a 30 minute shift at type 3 here 15 minute another type two so you have a 15-minute 30 minute and hourly type two go down to the 5 minute this would be a classic break and retest here where it's just pretty clear trend on the one minute um but if I just bring this up and you look at all these different time frames just kind of looking to stack time frames in in your favor looking for them to align the best trades happen when everything's aligned in One Direction so I'd be looking to take a buy at that level on that 15 30 minute hourly type two simply placing a placing my stop loss below the low and then where would I Target for Market structure um you have lows highs here so I would put a take profit around there it's a pretty big era pretty nice simple easy or a 2. 8 risk to reward I'm looking to take a buy below the open a buy below the open to create a bottom Wick first to then create the bottom we push up and fill in some of this move here stop loss below the previous low why is that um because that's my invalidation point if we make a new high then break a low that's a type three shift against me and if that happens I'm either not taking a trade or I might take a sell where might have something like that the 4 Hour opens up here I 4 hour 30 minute and you immediately go bearish you create a bit of a reaction but you create that bottom Wick on that 4 Hour on that hourly you respect that previous low and then you push bullish for pretty nice trade lots of volume coming in that was around 40 Pips pretty simple and easy using the type two on that 30- minute hourly um 15 minutes this was just a one minute break and retest but you also using that type 3 for larger time frame structure to find overall direction as well so it's very flexible in that approach um also bonus um I look at dxy for ADD confirmation added compliments I find it really helps me stack probabilities in my favor when Direction isn't as clear how I've been discussing type 1es type 2os type 3s I look at dxy the exact same way so if we go to so if we go to 11: a. m.
on dxy the exact same time that we're looking at on gold overall structure wise you're kind of ranging if we just look on kind of lower time frame we have a pretty clear bearish downtrend where we're making lower lows and lower highs but if we're just going to zoom into this price action here what do we have we have these previous highs previous air of Interest we making new highs into that we make a new high and then we have some volume come in and a pretty clear break move bearish so around that second hour 1059 we have a type 3 forming so you can use an entry model on dxy as correlation or confence to take a Buy on gold so you have a pretty clear shift on dxy which G gave me more confidence to take a Buy on gold uh where you have it break a low pretty strong break come back create a pullback and then push perish as well um so what that might look like is you have a break of this low here like pretty strong break you have a 30-minute candle close bearish you open create that top Wick in that first half of the candle and then push bearish so 11:00 a. m.
