Strategy Cards Part Two

Picking up from Part One, here are today's two cards: London X and New York X. Each one is shown as a buy and a sell, with the range, the zone, the entry, and the stop drawn out. Same X concept, two different sessions.

How to read these

Read each card left to right: 1 price sweeps one side of the range (the liquidity grab), 2 a change of character moves it the other way, and that fast move leaves a gap, an imbalance the candles skipped past. That gap is your zone. 3 when price comes back and retests the gap, the rejection candle is your entry. The entry line is teal, the stop is dark red, demand zones are green and supply zones pink. Shapes are exaggerated so you can see them, real candles are messier.

The X in six steps

1. Mark the previous session's range (high, low, and the 50%). 2. Wait for the break: above the high is bearish, below the low is bullish. 3. Wait for the change of character after the sweep (a clean zone entry can skip it). 4. The zone is your supply or demand area, and it can form before or after the change of character. 5. Enter on the rejection at the zone, stop past the wick or zone. 6. Take profit at the 50%, then the opposite side.
Strategy 4

London X

The X concept on the London open, using the Asian range (7pm to 3am ET) as the reference. Timeframes: 15-second or 1-minute, pick one. Here it is as a sell and a buy.

Asian highAsian low · TP250% · TP1gap = supply zoneentry, sellstop1231 sweep the high · 2 the drop leaves a gap · 3 retest the gap, sell the rejectionBEARISH

London X, sellsell

Price sweeps above the Asian high, then a change of character drops it down. That fast drop leaves a gap (an imbalance), and that gap is your supply zone. When price retests up into the gap and rejects, you sell at the low of the rejection candle. Stop past the gap, target the 50%, then the Asian low.

London X, buybuy

Price sweeps below the Asian low, then a change of character pushes it up. That fast push leaves a gap (an imbalance), and that gap is your demand zone. When price retests down into the gap and rejects, you buy at the high of the rejection candle. Stop past the gap, target the 50%, then the Asian high.

Strategy 5

New York X

The exact same setup on the New York open, using the London range (3am to 9am ET) as the reference. Only the range and the session change. Here it is as a sell and a buy.

London highLondon low · TP250% · TP1gap = supply zoneentry, sellstop1231 sweep the high · 2 the drop leaves a gap · 3 retest the gap, sell the rejectionBEARISH

New York X, buybuy

Price sweeps below the London low, then a change of character pushes it up. That fast push leaves a gap (an imbalance), and that gap is your demand zone. When price retests down into the gap and rejects, you buy at the high of the rejection candle. Stop past the gap, target the 50%, then the London high.

Same concept, different session

London X reads the Asian range to trade the London open. New York X reads the London range to trade the New York open. Asian frames London, London frames New York. The X mechanics never change, only whose range you track. More strategy cards are coming.
