Market Structure

To define the market structure we will observe the sequence of high and lows of the market

SAB indicator, it is included in a new version of the TFX Control indicator, but this
should be somewhat visual, it is not necessary an indicator that tells us what the
market structure is, we must have the ability to see it with the naked eye.

We need to see harmonic movements of the price, I mean the context when I see in a bullish
structure strength in the rises and weak in the retracement.

We are going to separate the market into two phases, ​Rally Phase​ and ​Drop Phase​, when
we see higher highs and higher lows we know we are in the ​Rally Phase​ and when we see
lower lows and lower highs we know we are in the ​Drop Phase​.
Sequence of a Trend

Strongest and weak continuous movements will define the trend, I am going to show you a
diagram of what can be expected technically from a sequence, but I clarify that this is not
accurate, timing is very important to stay within an idea in the market.

The beginning of the sequence is a Fakeout, price makes a trap and changes direction, what
follows is strong rally and weak retracement we will observe approximately 4 clean breaks.
Then comes a movement that is known as "symmetry", price makes a strong rally and reacts
in the middle of the momentum, without any visible support, after that happens a fakeout and
price breaks the minimum, that is the change in trend, which we call "Structure Breaker".

this whole sequence can be expected in the Drop Phase, as I always say, practicing and
observing all this in a simulator helps to better identify the sequence.
I personally never saw anything from Ifmyante on this subject, instead Hanzo talks about 3
rally movements and phase change, Mansor Sapari only indicates that the entry is at FO or
QML level (it is the same, he speaks of QML, but it is the same ) to the opposite FO or QML.

I personally do not follow "to the letter" this sequence, I look for confluence between TF, if I
see H4 in the drop phase and in H1 I also observe a drop phase I will try only sells, of course
if trend is very extended and near a demand or support I will not try.

This is how I establish and I consider that the different ones must be classified TF:
Intraday: 5´, 15´
Short term: 30´, 1 h, 4h, Daily
Long term: Weekly, Monthly
NOTE: close attention when the same support or resistance match in different spaces
temporary as this will give more chances to A possible bounce upon reaching them.
Possible duration of an operation (according to temporary space in which we will operate
and sticking to a trend)
Monthly: it can last several years
Weekly: it can last several months
Daily: can last several weeks
4 Hours: can last several days
1 Hour: it can last 2 or 3 days
½ Hour: can last 1 or 2 days
15 minutes: it can last from 0 to 1 day
5 minutes: it can last 0 days

Keep in mind that the spaces large temporary influence small ones by what would be a very
good strategy to establish the trend in a large temporary space and enter his favor every
time he gave a buy signal at smaller temporary spaces, until it terminate the trend of
temporal space big.
The smaller the temporal space in the one that operates the most noise will be so it will be
more hard to follow the market.
Traders that operate in temporary spaces under 5 minutes will be exposed to movements
that have more to do with chance than with the market situation.
