A few traders here, say they are inconsistent when it comes to trading despite having learnt numerous strategies religiously over time. They tend to forget that in trading, you need to find one coherent framework that works for you, and that you can use easily. This framework is to help those who are yet to find something repeatable to work for them.

1. Define your daily bias; you anticipate to either trade the continuation of that bias or its invalidation (Bullish or Bearish)

Daily bias is often done through candle closures and interaction with HTF liquidity points
2. Mark the high or the low of the previous day depending on your bias- you anticipate this to be a strong reaction point
3. Mark the EQ of the previous day's price range on lower timeframe; Bias might be invalidated using the EQ
4. Mark concentration points within the previous day's price range: often RELEVANT swing points and Imbalances;
5. Trade reactions off those points or reactions off the newly formed concentrated points.
Always ensure your lower timeframe analysis is aligning with the higher timeframe bias and direction

I suppose We have all seen how the trading world is saturated with promises of rapid transformation. Thirty-day challenges. Accelerated programs. Systems that claim to produce consistent profitability within weeks of adoption. Honestly, these promises are not just unrealistic.

They are actively harmful, because they create the expectation that the deep, lasting change required for sustainable trading success should happen quickly. And when it does not happen quickly, the trader concludes that they have failed, rather than recognizing that they are simply operating on the actual timeline that genuine change requires.

The truth is more demanding and more rewarding than any shortcut could offer.

Becoming a consistently profitable trader is a multi-year project. Not because the

concepts are complicated. Most of them are not. But because internalizing them

deeply enough that they govern your behavior under real market pressure, after real

losses, in the grip of real emotions, takes time and repetition and honest failure and

honest recovery.

"Trading is a journey of self-discovery. The market is just the vehicle."

The key to trading success is emotional discipline. If Intelligence were key, there would be a lot more people making money trading.

This is a breakdown of an expansion candle met with an opposing run

The first image is of the daily candles on EURUSD this week's price action.

Tuesday swept the low of monday, and closed back inside it's range; so we had a bullish anticipation for Wednesday.

Wednesday opened and price expanded higher. But during the expansion of Wednesday, price taps into an important liquidity level, then an opposing run that sees the Wednesday's candle close with a relatively large upper wick.

Our anticipation on Thursday was for price to respect the EQ of that Wednesday wick, then trade lower. By respecting I mean; the price action on the lower timeframes of Thursday's candle should not close beyond the midpoint of that wick upwards.

True to our anticipation; Thursday's price action trades to the EQ of Wednesday's wick, tapping into a point of interest, formed a reversal pattern then trade lower.

The lesson here is; "when the daily candle expands, then taps into an important liquidity level, then close with a large wick, we anticipate a reversal on the new day's candle"

If you trade the EURUSD, go and check the daily and 30- minute candle for this price action in detail.

The chart images above are of the EURUSD pair; and I'll be giving a breakdown of how the setups were made!

On Wednesday 6th May, price expanded upwards on the daily candle but was met later with an opposing run, that left the daily candle to close with a relatively large upper wick.

During that expansion, price interacted with a liquidity pool, before forming a reversal pattern- despite all this no setup was offered after the huge expansion range.

Despite the bias being bullish, a bearish reaction within the previous day's price range is what we were looking at.

NOTE: when price expands and interacts with a liquidity pool, then the HTF closes with a large wick; mark the EQ of that wick; and a reversal reaction from that wick is what you're looking for.

Within Wednesday's Wick's EQ was a FVG; Price forms a reversal setup in that FVG; showing that, it has no intent to trade deeper.

Price respected the FVG by not closing through its midpoint.

The reversal pattern offered the first entry, the second entry was after price broke a structural point, leaving behind a FVG. when the FVG gets revisited, price forms a protected swing and closes over the opposing sequence. That offered the continuation of the new phase of delivery.

In all this activity, price is not random; it's delivering objectively from one concentration point to another.

Anyone who might need a framework for trading continuations; check this out!

This is a repatble mechanical framework. These are the rules for the easiest and relatable framework for trading continuations.

1. Define your daily bias

2. Drop down to the lower timeframe

3. Mark structural points; where you anticipate price to continue (break of structure)

4. When price breaks that marked level, let it form a fair value gap.

5. Now trade order blocks coming off that fair value gap, targeting external liquidity

If you want to learn this easy mechanical framework in detail, I'll be glad to direct you to the source material that I also used to become proficient....

Trade breakdown:

price reaches into an important decision point, where I anticipated a reversal, but failed to form a reversal pattern to confirm the setup, rather forms a new decision point.

The now, new decision point gets taken out, and a reversal pattern is formed confirmed by a change in the state of delivery. Entry for a long position, targeting an external swing point, and the stop below the low.

Understanding the delivery of price and mastering the alignment of your trades within that delivery is very important.

Reason: In this trade, some traders who were leaning heavily on a bearish bias, saw a break of structure to the downside and ignoring the fact that price can shift its delivery at that point.

That's where the difference is: understanding what price is showing you and trading the reaction,not the prediction.

Also leverage the use of books written by traders. Because; detailed information in the one I read that talks on understanding the delivery mechanism of price was very fundamental in changing my view on the charts, that's why I don't make unnecessary mistakes by misinterpreting what the chart is telling out loud.

It's the clarity that I am vouching for. Have clar

Trade Breakdown:

Price reaches into an important decision point, where I anticipated a reversal, but failed to form a reversal setup and forms a new decision point.

The new decision point gets taken out, and a reversal setup is formed; which gives an entry for a long position, targeting external liquidity and stop below the now protected swing.

For a repeatable framework to work over time have a defined and clear edge.

Understanding the delivery of price and mastering the alignment of your trades within that delivery is important - reason? In the trade above some traders were highly bearish, and they probably marked a break of structure, where price manipulated a swing point and made a reversal pattern.

That's where the difference is; understanding what price is doing and following it; not going against it.

Also leverage books in your trading. Detailed information in the one I read talking about understanding price delivery, has given me a different lens to view and approach to the charts.

Saw this then remembered that guy of; "vijana! tuache mihadarati"

The fact that she outlived her family members is crazy!.

Say no to drugs though 🤣

This brother Kiarie just won his second Gold in Egypt skating competitions.

At this point I'm so happy with how our athletes are putting us out there and making us proud as Kenyans.

A big congratulations to Kevin Kiarie. Keep winning.

But it hurts that he's got no support from the government.

What do you guys think about tattoos??

Personally, I love tattoos, and I'd only get one if my parents approved of it.

Can you get a tattoo?? Considering that people who have large visible tattoos may be profiled.

I love the art though.

Would you prefer this over wigs?? 😁

Personally, this is peak female beauty. Women are so beautiful, I wish they were good people.

Lakini I'm so proud of our athletes.

It's recently this brother was out in another country and bagged the title in skating. Today, he has done it again. What a wonderful job. So much love to our athletes.

Ooh! And did you guys see the story of Sebastian sawe? How KRA will tax him 18 whooping million??? It's a shocker for sure!

These are some of the trades I took in the month of April. (Randomly selected- had over 80% win rate)

The highlight of this post is this; I had a whole turn in my trading activity last month, with access to the right information.

The trades above were carefully executed within a system with these parameters

1. A defined edge

2. Execution with discipline

3. Proper risk management

4. Doing away with unrealistic expectations

5. Presence of a process.

I managed to pass both evaluation phases on my prop firm account(PS: I've always failed to pass the 2nd phase before for over 40 challenges) I received my first ever payout, after 2 years in trading.

Here's where the difference came in; the quality of trading education I consume, who I became as a trader, and treating trading as a business that is organised.

I did read two books that contributed so much to the shift in both perspectives.

How was your trading in the month of April??

Doesn't matter if you are anti-ruto or not! This is something that we should not downplay at all. Don't we have sovereignty as a country??

Aki Mimi nachoka! Everyday this country's 'leaders', oops, politicians, put us through some shenanigans.

I can openly admit, whenever I see such information, nachokanga tuu!

And I always ask why God chose to give us these people to be our leaders 😭😭

What did we do to deserve such as a country??

This is actually so funny 🤣🤣

It's technically ten people in a decade long planned journey.

Could be a good storyline for a novel or a good movie, yk 😁

Writers and creatives in the house; take it from here

I think this is the best, most outstanding honour, I have ever seen!

A custom plate number with the record time! This is goated OMG!

I really do appreciate our athletes. So proud of our country...

I start by asking; how was your trading month- April!

Mine has been nothing short of "The best it's ever been"

The images above are of my last trades of this month; and the last image is of the best read I had this month.

What did I achieve this month? I got my edge through the right information, I simplified my trading, and only executed when the conditions were aligned!

I passed phase one and two of my prop challenges 'finally' after such a while. Invested in the right information and got results.

Still learning, still growing!

It'll get better. Looking forward to what May has to offer;

The lesson I picked; don't be afraid to go for it! Take it! You deserve it!
