🔹 Price Action / Market Structure
Break & Retest – breakout of the key level + confirmed retest with imbalance.
*Logic: the market accepts a new price.
How: breakout level → retest → entry on confirmation (delta/volume).
Futures: wait for acceptance (volume above the level), not just a shadow.
False Breakout (Liquidity Grab) – entry after stop removal and return to the range.
*Logic: removing stops before movement. How: breakout → quick return → entry against the breakout. Futures: perfectly visible through footprint (aggressive market orders).
Market Structure Shift (MSS) – trend change after breakout HL/LH.
*Logic: change of control buyer/seller. How: breakout HL/LH → pullback → entry. Futures: works better after NY opening.
Trend Pullback Trading – entry by trend from correction to value zone.
*Logic: trend + correction = best R:R. How: pullback to VWAP / order block → continuation. Futures: enter only when volume decreases during the correction.
Range Trading – working from the edges of the range with volume confirmation.
Logic: balance → edge = advantage. How: short from VAH, long from VAL. Futures: avoid before news (NFP, CPI).
🔹 Smart Money / Institutional
Order Block Trading – trading from institutional accumulation zones.
*Logic: institutions leave a mark. How: zone + confirmation on lower TF. Futures: look at cumulative delta — are they defending the zone.
Fair Value Gap (FVG / Imbalance) – entry to fill inefficiency.
*Logic: inefficiency → return. How: entry on 50% FVG in the direction of the trend. Futures: works best on ES/NQ during NY session.
Liquidity Pools Targeting – trading to obvious stop zones.
*Logic: the market goes for the stops. How: target — equal highs/lows. Futures: use as TP, not just entry.
Kill Zones (London / NY) – setups in key session windows.
*Logic: maximum liquidity.
How: trade 15:30–18:00 Kyiv.
Futures: 80% of daily volume right here.
Premium / Discount Model – longs below 50%, shorts above.
*Logic: buy cheap, sell high. How: 50% range HTF. Futures: combine with VWAP.
🔹 Volume & Order Flow
Volume Profile (POC, VAH, VAL) – trading around fair price zones.
*Logic: where the market agrees with the price. How: bounce from VAL/VAH, breakout POC. Futures: daily and weekly profile — a must.
Delta Divergence – divergence of price and volume delta.
*Logic: price rises, aggression falls = weakness. How: counter-trend entry. Futures: footprint — a key tool.
Absorption Strategy – a large limit player holds the level.
*Logic: large players hold back the movement. How: price does not pass the level at high volume. Futures: more often on CL, GC.
VWAP Reversion – price return to VWAP in a session context.
*Logic: fair price. How: extreme → return to VWAP. Futures: works on range days.
Tape Reading (Time & Sales) – speed and aggression of market orders.
*Logic: speed = intent. How: aggressive buying without progress → short. Futures: only for scalping.

*Logic: statistics > emotions. How: 2–3 std dev from the average. Futures: clear stop — a must.
Pairs Trading – trading the spread between correlated assets.
*Logic: divergence of correlation. How: long ES / short NQ. Futures: requires a larger deposit.
Session High/Low Break – statistical work with session levels.
*Logic: key levels of the day. How: retest after breakout. Futures: works on low-volatility days.
Volatility Expansion – entry after a period of volatility compression.
*Logic: after compression — explosion. How: breakout range + volume. Futures: ATR filter is mandatory.

*Logic: movement must be significant. How: entry only if > X ATR. Futures: filter from fakes.
🔹 Advanced / Professional
News Fade – trading against irrational reactions to news.
*Logic: the market exaggerates. How: counter-trend after impulse. Futures: only after stabilization.
Macro Bias + Intraday Execution – macro direction + precise entry.
*Logic: large direction + precise entry. How: bias from D1 → entry M5. Futures: ideal for swing-intraday.
HTF Bias / LTF Entry – direction from D1–H4, entry on M5–M15.
*Logic: trend decides, timing earns. How: H4 → M1–M5. Futures: classic prop-trading.
Stop-Hunt Reversal at HTF Level – liquidity removal at higher level.
*Logic: first take liquidity. How: sweep → reversal pattern. Futures: top strategy for NY open.
