The Structural Pullback MethodMicro E-mini Nasdaq-100 Index FuturesCME_MINI:MNQ1!SidgateSweep > Reclaim > Hinge (compression) > Break > Pullback > Continuation Precise Language. Precise Entries. Precise Stops. Precise Targets. You trade price shelves using the above atomic IF-THEN logic sequence. *balances *SVP POCs *SVP HVNs *hinge POCs *hinge HVNs *VPOCs *prior VPOCs *hinge lips *hinge floors *hinge apexes *prior day's settlement Of course, a confluence of shelves = Eureka! Before the NY 09:30 ET open you have drawn and labeled all overnight sweeps. *18:00 - 19:59 = Globex sweeps *20:00 - 02:59 = Asian sweeps *03:00 - 04:59 = London sweeps *05:00 - 09:29 = NY premarket sweeps You are dynamically using your 3-Filter Regime (see recent post). You are observing which sweep regime the NY open follows *sweep > reverse > sweep > trend (most common) *sweep > trend (2nd most common) *sweep > hinge > break Stop *50 points below low of sweep you are trading OR *Red Line Stop (predetermined loss you are willing to risk) OR *you fill in the blank Target = auction-dependent + trader-dependent *IF supported by auction mechanics and your account size and risk tolerance THEN target = next price shelf *IF otherwise THEN scalp 5 - 12 points Provided you read the chart correctly there's no wrong answer. Do as you please. Entries: With experience you will vary the quantity and you will buy in descending values of 5, 10, or twenty points. There will be days when you do 100+trades without one loss. Perhaps you will complement your pullback entries with breakout entries. You are always flexible. You are always patient. IF the auction plunges through price shelves you wait. It will eventually sweep a shelf. THEN you use your atomic IF-THEN logic sequence - Sweep > Reclaim > Hinge (compression) > Break > Pullback Entry Even on sell-off days like 6/5 & 6/9 there are buy-to-open trades to be had. IF you have a bearish eye THEN you flip the script. Most call this "buy-the-dip". That is incorrect and misleading. You are actually buying trend continuation that is suggested by the auction. You are applying an atomic IF-THEN logic sequence to the facts (data) of the chart. You are not interpreting, randomly buying, hoping or guessing. You are now armed with a 3-Filter Regime and a 3-Layer Entry System governed by an atomic IF-THEN logic sequence. Your 3-Layer Entry system are price shelves formed by macrostructure - 5m, 15m, 1h bars, mesostructure - 1m, 3m, 5m bars, and for precise entries microstructure - 15s, 30s, and 1m bars. Correct Mechanics + Correct Logic = Correct Trade
