The library

22 setups at a glance

Each is a complete idea on its own. Combine two or three into confluence and your win-rate climbs.

Liquidity
Setup 01

PDH / PDL sweep

Price runs the previous-day high or low to grab stops, then snaps back inside — enter on the reversal toward the day's mean.

CRT
Setup 02

Quarter-level bounce

Split the previous-day range into quarters; buy reactions at 0.25, sell reactions at 0.75, target the 0.50 midpoint.

Session
Setup 03

Asian range breakout

Mark the Asian high/low; London's first move usually sweeps one side — fade the sweep or follow the displacement.

SMC
Setup 04

4H order-block retest

Wait for price to return to a 4-hour order block that caused a break of structure, then enter on the reaction.

SMC
Setup 05

Fair value gap fill

Trade the retracement into an unfilled FVG in line with the trend; the gap acts as support/resistance.

Structure
Setup 06

BOS pullback

After a clean break of structure, enter on the first pullback to the broken level or the order block behind it.

Structure
Setup 07

CHoCH reversal

At a key level, a change of character on the lower timeframe signals the turn — enter on the retest.

Liquidity
Setup 08

Equal-highs / equal-lows raid

Price is drawn to obvious equal highs/lows; trade the reversal after the liquidity above/below is taken.

Levels
Setup 09

Daily pivot rejection

Fade a clean rejection of the daily pivot back toward the prior session's range.

Bias
Setup 10

Premium/discount fade

In a bullish bias, buy only from discount (below range 50%); in a bearish bias, sell only from premium.

Session
Setup 11

Session open drive

A strong displacement candle at the London or NY open often continues — join the move on a micro-pullback.

Levels
Setup 12

Round-number reaction

Big round numbers (e.g. gold at x,x00) pool liquidity; trade the reaction, not the touch.

Liquidity
Setup 13

Trendline liquidity sweep

Obvious trendlines hold retail stops; trade the break-and-reverse after the sweep, not the obvious bounce.

Price action
Setup 14

Inside-bar breakout

A daily inside bar signals compression; trade the break in the direction of the higher-timeframe bias.

Price action
Setup 15

Engulfing at a level

A strong engulfing candle at a key support/resistance is a clean, simple reversal trigger.

SMC
Setup 16

Double-tap demand/supply

Price taps a demand/supply zone twice; the second reaction with a structure shift is the entry.

Session
Setup 17

News-fade reset

After a high-impact news spike and stop-hunt, wait for structure to settle, then trade the resulting direction.

CRT
Setup 18

Weekly-open gap

Price often returns to the weekly open; fade extreme Monday moves back toward it.

SMC
Setup 19

Mitigation block entry

Re-enter from the last opposing candle that price 'mitigates' on its way to continuing the trend.

Liquidity
Setup 20

Liquidity-to-liquidity run

Map one liquidity pool to the next; once one side is swept, ride the move toward the opposite pool.

CRT
Setup 21

3-candle CRT model

Range candle → manipulation sweep → distribution; enter on the distribution leg toward the opposite extreme.

Levels
Setup 22

Break-of-day-range continuation

Once price breaks and holds beyond the prior-day range, trade pullbacks in the breakout direction.

How to use this library: pick two or three setups that suit your schedule and personality, then backtest and demo them until they're second nature. Trading fewer setups well beats trading all of them badly. Every setup needs a stop and proper risk — these are educational concepts, not financial advice.
