Forget Candlesticks! The ONLY way to find perfect trade entries (Live explained)

A live instructional video (translated) teaching a step-by-step trading workflow that prioritizes market context over candlestick setups. Speakers present a “trading matrix” that orders analysis from higher-timeframe chart structure and weekly profiles to intraday profiles, footprint/delta charts and order book, explaining how to decide when to take counter-trades, breakouts, or trend-following trades based on liquidity, value areas, and participant behavior.

Forget candlesticks. This is the real way you find your perfect entry. I will give you today the whole way. How you can read and how you can learn to find the real and best entry for yourself. If you would like to understand more of it, listen and watch this video because I explain you step by step the whole way. You have to know how you found your perfect entry style and not how someone. And if it is interesting for you, listen. Today I translated this video with AI because I'm not a native English speaker. My English is not perfect. But I think you will love this video. It is amazing.
Good. A wonderful hello to everyone. Yeah, let's be honest with each other for a moment. There's a lot of talk about setups, about the perfect entry method. There's talk about letting trades run, all these topics. But the real question is, when do I actually use what? Today I'm going to introduce you to our matrix from Trade the Traders, so you can get an overview of the order in which we analyze the markets, what we think makes sense and is logical, and what will be helpful for you to make progress accordingly. Because it's pointless if you're a highly dynamic order flow trader and you spend all your time trying to gather ideas for yourself from a candlestick chart. And to maybe break down the puzzle a bit and present the right approach in the right order, I decided to show you my matrix, my trading matrix, and also share my thoughts on what's behind it. Yes, I want to introduce all of this to you live here. And I think the first thing that's interesting for you is to see what exactly am I looking at here? And on the topic of what exactly am I looking at here, I can tell you that the first thing I always like to look at is a chart. And this chart, it gives me information that I use for myself, completely unfiltered at first. And the information I have now, for example, is an impulse with a sideways phase and further stable trends. Now, you first have to be able to distinguish between a stable trend and a fast trend. And that's what I'm going to show you now. A stable trend is a trend structure that, unlike here, doesn't just crash down, because then it's almost always logical that the thing will either keep going or resolve itself upwards as a V reversal. Instead, a stable trend is a trend that repeatedly has phases of balance. This means that market participants have enough time to take their positions, which gives the trend a certain stability. Here, for example, you can see what happens when a trend wasn't Stable, it just gets negated again. And that's really interesting to distinguish that as the first point. The second thing that's of course interesting to me is that I always look to the left and check what technical obstacles are there. And you really have to be able to pinpoint that correctly. And then you also know whether it makes sense to trade a technical resistance or to wait for now. Alright, let's move on to the second image in my matrix. You'll find it down here on the left. These are my weekly profiles. And with the weekly profiles, for example, I can immediately identify where the markets are currently trending, whether they're in balance and what the current market environment is. And if you take a look at this here, you'll see, for example, this is the Dex future today. It's right in the middle of last week. And if I'm in the middle, then I don't need to look for any impulsive moves because the probability is high that if something is in balance, it will stay in balance for now. But what is interesting for me now, for example, if I take a look at how the market opened today and how it shot up, I can already glean quite a bit from that. But the most important thing and the biggest piece of information for me right from the start is where am I in the big picture? And I think everyone can see that at the moment we are in a downward trend. We then have our value area high and low from the previous week, which allows us to quickly identify whether we are within the balance or outside of it. And of course that gives me the opportunity to define whether I should expect a fast trending market today or more of a sideways market. The next thing I do is look at this third chart here. It's this one here and there I look at the intraday profiles, so not like the weekly profiles on the left, which give me an overview of where the big money is currently in balance and where it isn't. Because the global players don't look at minute charts, instead they look at the larger time frames where they can get information. And on a smaller scale I can of course now look for myself what, what further information do I have available which are interesting to me. And then for example, I first do the following. The first thing I want to look at here is of course, where is the market opening compared to the closing price. And we can see that beautifully here. This is a very typical chart for a fundamental news event that caused the market to make such a large gap. In this case it was quite simple. The Reason for this is that there seems to be a solution for the government shutdown in America. And now, of course, we can initially assume that strength and calm will return to the market. That means, as a first step, I determine for myself whether the gap makes sense or is it a gap that logically doesn't make sense to me? The second thing I do now, of course, is look at how the market behaves at the opening of trading. And here I can see that very clearly. The market briefly went down and has now gone up. It has found a new balance for itself. So what information does that give me? It tells me that the people who speculated down here on gap closes were initially wrong. It also gives me further information, namely that I see supply and demand have shifted to a new, higher price range. And with that, I know that market participants are accepting these higher prices because they are spending a lot of time here. And what continues to be interesting for me now, of course, is to see where the next target areas are. And I can, of course, use the intraday profiles to very nicely locate these for myself. I can analyze naked POCs for myself. I can analyze and locate old single print areas. And in this way, I can piece together a bit more intelligence for myself from my puzzle. I can also go and look at where old value areas are. And as you can see wonderfully here, for example, yes, we're playing right inside it at the moment. And if you then apply the rules correctly for yourself, you also know that the probability is actually quite high that such a complete profile will be repaired first. And when that happens, well, then the question is, what happens in the next step? Do we go up here and repair everything, or do we go back again and what are my next target areas then? These kinds of topics can of course, be analyzed very well for yourself in day trading. If you choose the right settings for all these charts, and if you understand and internalize all the rules of market profiles a bit more deeply, you can simply identify who is currently dominating the markets. And what opportunities do I have to fire off my own trading strategies there? Yes, and let's get back to our matrix. And everything I've told you so far are just ways to look at certain price areas to see whether I can find a trade or not. And as you can see here, I have a footprint chart. In here I have the delta for the day, down here, the delta for each individual bar. And I have the accumulated volume included. And yes, for me, it's very exciting to know that, because it allows me to go and see whether this is really effective for me here. So for me the following is always important and simply logical. I look at the dynamic processes and analyze these dynamic processes for liquidity. And for the so called price areas where there was absolutely no liquidity. You can also see here how nicely that gets repaired and the market again moves toward the old liquidity. And that's what the market does all the time. It's always searching for supply and demand and that's really all there is to it. It's not rocket science. You just have to understand it simply doesn't make sense if you don't know from where to where. You need to plan a market, how global money flows, and then try to see if you can maybe find the thousandth breakout or counter trading setup for yourself somewhere here. Instead, I always have to check, does this fit in terms of context with the big money? Does it fit in terms of the setup currently? If I base everything on market profiling and have been able to determine a route plan for myself accordingly, are the participants I need there, for example, to enter a counter trade? Or are we like we are here now, right in the middle, but clearly in a trending area where the market is striving upwards and all these things I can simply put into context. And when I put this into context, I do it as follows. So I use the opportunity to first get a quick overview, stability or fragility in the trend. In the second step, I look at how at the moment global money is, with high probability, technically motivated to enter markets or not, and the result I have here, everything is cool. Then I look at the next time frame on the daily chart. What does the whole thing look like? How is the market opening? Where was my closing price? Is there a high probability that the gap will be closed or not like here? When I see that strength is simply coming into the market after the market went down at the opening, then I have an important piece of information. Then in the next step, I can look at whether supply and demand were more concentrated at the bottom or at the top. And if I now approach price areas like here, in these single print zones, what information does the market give me right here and now in a small time frame, Is it really smart and effective for me, for example, to look for a counter trade here? Or is it more likely, since I can see from the volume here, that there's real pressure, that the thing will keep falling? That means I can immediately decide for myself, am I really looking for a counter trade here, or do I assume that the thing will keep sliding? And if it does slide. I can localize again and move back over here. Up to what point does that make sense? How long do the big players go along with it or when do they start with a certain probability to intervene in the market? And I put these things together for myself. And last but not least, I also love to look at the order book to see how the market is currently being played aggressively and fast, or more lethargic and slow. Do I see absorptions or do I see more of those big guys who are placing weird, large fake orders somewhere? And with that I can pinpoint things. Now the probability is actually higher that there will be another pullback. And at the very end, I like to transfer such simple levels into a very small time frame, just so I can always, at first glance, like here and here, pinpoint my technical opportunities. And then I build my thoughts, which I get from support resistance. Support resistance plus context, supply and demand imbalance or not. And what is happening right here and now? How dynamic is the market? Does it make sense now or does it not make sense once you've really internalized that for yourself? You simply have a very smart workflow. And I hope you enjoyed this, that you got a deeper impression of when it actually makes sense to take a counter trade. And when it makes sense to look for a breakout. And are the actual physical locations even truly suitable for that particular purpose? Or is the really big money in particular currently situated somewhere comfortably in the middle and quite content with its present position, Then you can simply assume that not much is going to happen. And these are exactly the things and structures that in my opinion are the most important in order to approach trading in the right sequence for yourself. At trade the traders, we also do the following. We go through the trader DNA and consider who actually likes counter trades. And that person can define in advance where it all makes sense. Who likes breakout trades, they too can locate themselves in the markets. Where are the interesting price zones then? You can specialize with the setups and say, I only use these or those setups when the market signals to me that there is a price area where a breakout is likely to happen. When does it make sense to trade trend following strategies, like today for example? And when does it make sense to give up on such a trend following trade, because I realize the momentum is no longer in my favor and then I know the probability is high that the market will return to its fair price to see if new buyers can be found there. And in my opinion, that's a smart way to organize your trading in the best possible way. I hope you enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to your feedback and I think it's time now to get a bit more dynamic and action packed so you can see how you can actually put all these things into practice. Thank you all very much for listening.
