Within this FREE, NO-SUBSCRIPTION “mini course”, we will show 10 different MCA trade setups.
Setup 1: M30 / H1 MTS run (“bread and butter” trade)
The so-called “inner range medium-term stop hunt” setup exists when there is a stop-accumulation in the market which has not yet been hunted.
The market causality shows this as a green line above or below the price.
Eventually, the SM Algos will take these out.
Setup 2: M30 / H1 MTS run + H4 reversal energy (the “Golden combi” trade)
The “Golden combi” entails a situation where there is an open MTS on the lower time frames, as well as an H4 reversal scenario in the same direction. Hence, there is a high likelihood that the SM Algos will take out the MTS and at the same time implement an “H4 reversal” move against respective DM positions. For example, let us say that
Setup 3: M30 MTS + H1 MTS run (the “Double tap” trade)
The “Double tap” is a trade setup whereby we have an IR MTS accumulation both on the M30 time frame and the H1 time frame, in the same direction. As long as we trade against the latest DM flow, this can be a good setup.
Setup 4: Option strike target runs (“OST run” / “Strike run” trade)
On a regular basis, we see so-called OST signals on the M30 and H1, these signals show the direction as well as price target level. We can take these trades as long as there is no upward-sloping squeeze line in the wrong direction, as long as there are no economic news in the way and as long as the latest DM flow is not on the “wrong” side.
Setup 5: H4 reversal with DM switch (“H4 reversal” trade)
The H4 reversal happens on a regular basis, often we see how the DM switches from one side to the opposite side, we also often see a “re-test” of the highs / lows. This is then followed by a move towards the opposite channel band, often going over a few days.
Setup 6: Squeeze move (“squeeze” trade)
The “squeeze move” happens if, for whatever reason, the DM keeps aggressively trading on one side which results in the respective squeeze line showing an upward slope. Even if the entry is already expensive, this can be a good trade setup if one takes a position on the opposite side of the DM.
Setup 7: Order gap zone (OGZ) / STS run (“OGZ” fill)
The “short-term stops” or “STS” are dynamic stops of the DM shown in blue / turquoise which are often taken out “on the way” to other objectives.
The same is true for the “order gap zones”, the grey blocks shown on the lower time frames. The OGZ are price zones where the SM Algos have the chance to fill accumulated orders that are still open.
Setup 8: LTS run (“LTS” trade)
Long-term stop hunts, or “LTS runs” often happen after the price is already over-stretched, however can do another extension towards highs / lows that were “further away”. These typically happen of there was a trend and the SM intends to “clear” the highs / lows several times; preventing any DM traders to enter “cheaply” into the market.
Setup 9: Post-MTS pullback (“post stop hunt” trade)
This setup is advanced and often allows for a scalp; namely once an MTS has been clearly taken out of the market. For that setup to work, once needs to wait for the momentum to fade away and one also needs to make sure that the latest DM flow is not on the “wrong” side.
Setup 10: Day chart MA run (“MA clearing” trade)
These setups often happen if on the day chart one of the blue moving averages is “within reach”. The SM Algos love to clear these out, in particular since many DM traders place their stops above / below these lines.
