Advanced Market structure

By Dillon Cotter

 Basic Movement of the market

A series of higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL) indicates that we are in a uptrend.
A series of lower highs (LH) and lower lows (LL) indicates that we are in a down trend.
__________________________________________________________________

This is a consolidated market ( a range), what that basically means is the market is moving
sideways in a non trending market, I would advise not to trade in these types of markets because
there isnt a clear idea on the overall direction in the market your trading in, simply let the
market build liquidity and then break out of this sideways phase letting the market tell you the
real direction.

 In the chart above is a more detailed version of showing HH, HL, LH, LL.
You see in a uptrend your ideal entry points are going to be your higher low areas,
And in a down trend your ideal entry points are going to be your lower high areas.
The market doesn't always move this clean but the behavior of structure will always be the same.

Here is a chart showing a perfect example of the drawing shown above, you can see all the HL
and LH points for clear entries after structure has been broken in a certain direction.

 Trends inside of trends

There are always going to be trends inside of trends, the daily could be in a uptrend but the 1 hr
could be going in a downtrend heading possibly for a HTF POI and until we get to that POI we
wait for reactions from that htf poi and hope to see a break in structure shifting back in the
direction of the htf.

New traders might get confused with this topic when looking at structure, just know that if your
overall trend is bullish and you see a sell set up understand that it won't be a long term sell
opportunity, but a possible intra day set up to sell towards a htf poi to then look for buys again.

If candle sticks are confusing to look at I recommend switching back and forth to a line chart, it
is personally easier for my eyes to see structure and recognize what i'm looking for really quick.

 HTF POI - LTF ENTRY

This is what you want to see or what you could wait for if you have a POI or multiple POIs that
you aren't sure they will give a rejection you're looking for, you can wait for a bos on a lower
time frame from a higher time frame poi if that POI that you are looking at doesn't give you a
bos on the lower time frame it's still a possibility that price could head toward your next poi.
This can create patience in the market if you make time to watch price action like this around
certain times of the day your win % will increase simply by trading in the right direction.
In these examples below will start with a HTF POI and then break down structure on the LTF to
find a better entry on the LTF from a HF POI. You can see this happen on so many pairs on
every time frame.
