Click here to open it in a new tab. The pocket of action concept is fundamental to profitable trading. Most price action on most assets is completely untradable. You need to recognize when markets transition from untradable to tradable conditions. The Reality of Trading Time 95%
- [18.1  - Understanding market correlation and relativity](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/18-1-understanding-market-correlation-and-relativity/) - PLEASE NOTE: There are audio issues for the first 5 minutes. You can skip ahead, or follow along with the subtitles. Market correlation isn't about memorizing which assets move together - it's about developing a framework to quickly identify where money is flowing and which opportunities deserve your attention. The key insight here is simple:
- [17.5 - Market cycles in relativity analysis](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/17-6-market-cycles-in-relativity-analysis/) - In the third assumption, everything still retains itself - X1, X2, you should be almost bored of hearing this. But it's important because this is how you're going to start thinking. First, let me clarify market names. When you hear me say QQQ, just instantly assume NASDAQ, US100, NQ. These are all the same thing
- [17.6 - How to identify and trade relative strength](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/17-5-how-to-identify-and-trade-relative-strength/) - Now just putting it all together - a simpler relativity breakdown. You have two markets. One has gone through accumulation, MMB1, MMB2, breaks down, accumulation, MMB1, 2, maybe even 3, and breaking down. Then you have this other market which has gone through accumulation, MMB1, MMB2, started breaking down, weaker distribution, accumulation, MMB1, MMB2. Which
- [17.4 - Market comparison methods](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/17-4-market-comparison-methods/) - We just looked at a straightforward example - choosing between two correlated markets where one's going straight up and the other's moving sideways. Think Bitcoin USD versus Ethereum USD. If you're still confused about which to choose, you need to review the previous material. This is why so many traders get stuck. The people who
- [17.3 - Market strength vs weakness](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/17-3-market-strength-vs-weakness/) - When you're looking at multiple markets that make sense to compare, everything boils down to two simple questions. Are these markets actually worth comparing? And does one of them have money flowing into it better than the other? Think about it this way - if you're that silk merchant and you know the pink silk
- [17.2 - Applying relativity across multiple markets](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/17-2-applying-relativity-across-multiple-markets/) - Now it's not really the case that there are only two assets. We're all aware there are thousands of assets available. What you're going to learn is that we're not just comparing one asset to another - we apply this philosophy across many markets. We basically teach ourselves to breathe with the money that comes
- [17.1 - Compare markets using relative strength](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/17-1-compare-markets-using-relative-strength/) - Now that you have a solid understanding of everything we do in the portal, I want to introduce you to a very important concept that I personally use in my trading - relativity. This concept comes later because everything you've learned so far is already phenomenal and very powerful. But you're going to eventually ask
- [16.4 - Confidence through forward testing](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/16-4-confidence-through-forward-testing/) - While this is the final step in the process, it doesn't mean you'll only go through it once. Trading is a continuous improvement cycle - you'll likely revisit these steps multiple times as you refine your approach and increase profitability. The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Systems If you consistently follow the process of case studies, data
- [16.3 - Preparing for forward testing](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/16-3-preparing-for-forward-testing/) - Creating a profitable trading system requires going through specific steps with minimum numbers to achieve consistency. As you continue working through the portal material, I've added benchmark numbers to help you track your progress and determine if you've done enough work at each stage before moving forward. When you complete these minimums at each stage,
- [16.2 - Backtesting in action](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-16-backtesting-in-action/) - Data collection might seem tedious, but it's what separates profitable traders from those who constantly switch systems. By following the same rules across multiple trades, we begin to see patterns emerge that aren't visible when looking at individual trades. Notice how I apply the same exact rules repeatedly: Identify momentum cycles on the weekly (context
- [16.1 - Backtesting your system](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-15-backtesting-your-system/) - The transition from data collection to backtesting is an important step in becoming a profitable trader. If you've followed the previous lessons, you've either already collected data showing profitability (at least +1R over 50 trades or +2R over 100 trades) or you've analyzed your data to create rules that should lead to profitability. Making the
- [15.14 - Developing a trade plan](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-14-developing-a-trade-plan/) - Every trade follows a simple lifecycle: enter, manage, and close. What separates profitable traders from unprofitable ones is having a defined trade plan that you follow consistently. What Is a Trade Plan? Your trade plan is a set of rules based on what you've observed works in the market. It doesn't need to be complex
- [15.13 - Analyzing your trading data](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-13-analyzing-your-trading-data/) - The rule of 50 is a powerful concept that can completely transform your trading journey. This simple principle means that after 50 trades you should be up at least 1R, or after 100 trades you should be up at least 2R. If either condition is met, you've already outperformed about 90% of traders in the
- [15.12 - The rule of 50 trades](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-12-the-rule-of-50-trades/) - The transition from learning trading concepts to becoming consistently profitable can feel overwhelming. This is where case studying and data collection become your secret weapons. Let me break down this crucial process that few traders actually follow. Understanding Case Studies Case studying is your first step toward profitability - but with an important mindset shift.
- [9.6 - Momentum MB characteristics](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-6-momentum-mb-characteristics/) - Momentum-based MBs function differently from accumulation-based MBs. They typically occur after a flush in stage one and are usually found within stage twos. When price flushes out, creates an MB or FMB, and starts moving upward, these pauses during a stage two are likely continuing the momentum rather than accumulating for a larger move. Key
- [15.11 - Labeling for case studies](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-11-labeling-for-case-studies/) - Without a consistent method for labeling and analyzing your charts, you'll find yourself confused when reviewing past trades or trying to apply what you've learned to new opportunities. When analyzing any market, it's critical to develop a systematic process that you can repeat over and over again. This consistency allows you to quickly recognize patterns
- [15.10 - Moving from case study to trading rules](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-10-moving-from-case-study-to-trading-rules/) - The purpose of case studies isn't just academic – they're the stepping stones toward understanding where your entries should exist based on the kind of trader you want to be. While I've shown you my approach to entering at specific MBs and E micros within an EVC framework, your system doesn't need to operate exactly
- [15.9 - Building case studies together with screener](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-9-building-case-studies-together-with-screener/) - Case studying is one of the most crucial steps in your development as a trader. It's about learning to identify what creates good trades by examining how markets truly behave. Why Case Studying Matters The analysis that leads you to say "no" to a trade is just as valuable as finding good setups. When you
- [15.8 - How to use the case study template in Miro](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-8-how-to-use-the-case-study-template-in-miro/) - The Miro platform is incredibly intuitive once you understand the basic controls: Left-click: Selects objects and reveals toolbars Right-click or scroll wheel button: Pans around the workspace Locking objects: Use the lock icon to prevent accidental movement of elements Unlimited space: You can zoom in/out and expand infinitely in any direction This unlimited canvas is
- [15.7 - Accessing templates and tools](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-7-accessing-templates-and-tools/) - After learning the system and proper risk procedures, case studies help validate what you've learned by collecting examples of how markets move within the concepts you've studied. You can find the latest case study template in the Discord server, or you can click this link. What's in the Cheat Sheet The case study template contains
- [15.6 - One schematic to rule them all](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-6-one-schematic-to-rule-them-all/) - Everything we've covered now comes full circle. We've taken the basic concepts of demand and validation, simplified them into stages and cycles, and identified patterns that repeat across all markets. This pattern of stage one into stage two plays out consistently regardless of timeframe. Our goal is to find the best opportunities where these moves
- [15.5 - Power of buy stopping highs](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-5-power-of-buy-stopping-highs/) - The buy stop the high principle is incredibly powerful, yet often misunderstood. In its most basic form, the concept is straightforward: in a clearly delivering, bullish market, simply buying when price makes a new high will make you money over time. This fundamental principle underlies everything we do in our approach to trading. Think about
- [1.1 One](https://mentfx.com/courses/basics-course/lessons/1-1-one/)
- [What is traded in different markets](https://mentfx.com/lessons/what-is-traded-in-different-markets/)
- [15.2 - Supply and containment lines](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-2-supply-and-containment-lines/) - The foundation of successful trading lies in properly following each building block in sequence. Skipping steps or rushing through them often leads to emotional trading and eventual failure, regardless of initial success. What we're building here are guaranteed safety nets for profitability. A supply line, also known as a containment line, is a fundamental concept
- [15.3 - Market psychology and supply buildup](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-3-market-psychology-and-supply-buildup/) - The supply line helps us better understand stage 1 and 2 in the market - it's not just about identifying these stages, but really understanding if the underlying stage one is worth following. When looking at market moves, we want to know if the supply coming in is minor and if there's significant demand backing
- [15.4 - Understanding containment explosion](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-4-understanding-containment-explosion/) - What we're really looking at here is a reliable and consistent entry model that helps you decide if something makes sense to trade or not. It all starts with the supply line or containment line - which is basically showing us the transition from stage one into stage two. But we take it a step
- [15.1 - Building blocks of profitable trading](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/15-1-building-blocks-of-profitable-trading/) - Trading success requires more than just a system - it demands a structured approach built on solid fundamentals. Most traders who end up quitting never develop these essential building blocks that lead to consistent profitability. The Foundation: Trading System A proper trading system goes beyond just drawing zones or using indicators. It requires a conceptual
- [14.1 - Life cycle of a trade](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/14-1-life-cycle-of-a-trade/) - Management is the most important part of trading because it ultimately determines whether a system will be profitable. The interesting thing about trading is that you can use almost any system that has some kind of edge – what really matters is how you manage trades, think about trades, and handle risk. The Core Trade
- [13.7 - Additional risk considerations](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/13-7-additional-risk-considerations/) - Most of trading comes down to understanding and managing risk effectively. The market isn't against you - trading is simply about taking opportunities with protected downside and potential upside delivery that can lead to significant gains. Understanding Account Size vs Buying Power A critical mistake many traders make is confusing buying power with actual account
- [13.6 - Risk calculation detailed](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/13-6-risk-calculation-detailed/) - Risk calculation is the foundation of proper trading, determining how many contracts or shares to buy to achieve the desired risk level on any trade. This isn't just about picking random position sizes – it's about precise mathematical calculations that ensure your risk matches your intentions. Understanding Risk Percentage The starting point is deciding how
- [13.5 - How different stop sizes equal 1R](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/13-5-how-different-stop-sizes-equal-1r/) - Trading with different stop sizes doesn't mean you're risking different amounts per trade. This is an important concept that many traders misunderstand. When we talk about risk in terms of R-multiples (like 1R), we're really talking about the amount we're willing to lose on any given trade, regardless of where we place our stop loss.
- [13.4 - Win rates don't matter](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/13-4-win-rates-dont-matter/) - Let's tackle one of the biggest misconceptions in trading: the idea that a high win rate equals success. I'm going to show you why this thinking is completely backwards, and why chasing a high win rate might actually be holding you back. The Foundation: Expected Value Remember, if your expected value (EV) is positive, you're
- [13.3 - Expected value](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/13-3-expected-value/) - Being right doesn't equal being profitable. This is something that catches a lot of traders off guard, but it's absolutely critical to understand. Let's break down why this is the case and dive into expected value (EV) - the fundamental building block of any profitable trading system. Risk to Reward and Position Sizing Think about
- [13.2 - Breaking down risk/reward](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/13-2-breaking-down-risk-reward/) - One of the biggest problems in trading is that most people don't understand how the mathematics of risk and reward actually works. Let's break down everything you need to know about calculating and managing risk to reward in your trading. The Foundation: 1 RR Everything in trading starts with understanding that we measure risk in
- [13.1 - Risk management fundamentals](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/13-1-risk-management-fundamentals/) - Everything in trading starts with RR - Risk to Reward. The most important thing to understand is that every trade you take has a risk of 1 RR. That's your basic unit of risk, and it's preset by you before you start trading. What exactly is 1 RR? It's a percentage of your account that
- [12.4 - Customizing screener columns](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/12-4-customizing-screener-columns/) - The screener is a powerful tool that helps you find trading opportunities based on your specific criteria. Let's walk through each column and understand how you can use them to make your trading more efficient. Price Column Price is straightforward - it shows you the current price of any asset. You can customize how it
- [12.3 - My screening process](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/12-3-my-screening-process/) - The screener becomes our essential tool for filtering through thousands of potential trades to find the ones worth our attention. Rather than manually searching through markets, we can systematically identify opportunities that match our trading criteria. Basic Configuration Start with the fundamental settings that help identify markets where money is actively flowing. The key components
- [12.2 - Omniscreener](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/12-2-omniscreener/) - Market screening has become an essential part of profitable trading. Rather than limiting ourselves to a single asset or a handful of markets, proper screening allows us to find the best opportunities across thousands of potential trades. Why Screening Matters The trading world is vast, with countless opportunities happening at any given moment. Most assets
- [12.1 - Introduction to screener](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/12-1-introduction-to-screener/) - After building our foundation of market understanding through cycles, momentum, and advanced entries, we're now ready to tackle a crucial challenge - finding the right markets to trade. The Omniscreener becomes our essential tool for filtering through thousands of potential trades to find the ones worth our attention. Why We Need a Screener With over
- [11.5 - Entries advanced (part 2 - e-micro)](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/11-5-entries-advanced-part-2-e-micro/) - The e-micro timeframe analysis builds upon our existing EVC framework. While our core entry process stays the same, this additional layer of analysis helps us refine our execution and improve trade management. Understanding E-micro Timeframes The e-micro represents a division of approximately 30x from your entry timeframe. Here's how this typically breaks down: 65-minute chart
- [11.4 - Entries advanced (part 1 - MB counts)](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/11-4-entries-advanced-part-1-mb-counts/) - Trading setups are rarely as simple as waiting for a perfect double MB pattern. While that's what we're ultimately looking for, the reality of how these setups form is much more complex and requires a deeper understanding of market dynamics. How Complex Setups Form When looking at actual market conditions, what might appear as a
- [11.3 - System simplified](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/11-3-system-simplified/) - Trading doesn't have to be complicated. Looking at how markets have moved for the past 150 years, we can see they follow the same basic patterns over and over. This is what forms the foundation of my entire trading approach. The system works by understanding and trading momentum MBs through clear cycle patterns. When we
- [11.2 - Advanced entry cycle](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/11-2-advanced-entry-cycle/) - The entry cycle is fundamentally different from how we view momentum cycles, even though we're looking at the same price action. While momentum cycles focus on the bigger picture, entry cycles help us understand where and how to actually get into trades. Understanding Entry vs Momentum The same price movement that creates a momentum cycle
- [11.1 - Advanced momentum cycle](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/11-1-advanced-momentum-cycle/) - The momentum cycle shows how price moves through stages, starting with accumulation MB and advancing through momentum MBs. This concept helps traders spot and trade sustained market moves. Understanding the Cycle The momentum cycle begins when price shows true momentum by moving out of stage one and over the 10 and 20 EMAs. This initial
- [10.9 - EVC timeframe analysis using MAs](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-9-evc-timeframe-analysis-using-mas/) - When analyzing markets through EVC (entry, validation, context), moving averages play an important role across different timeframes. This complex interaction helps us understand where money is flowing and how to position ourselves in the market. Moving averages help us identify momentum cycles and accumulation periods across different timeframes. The key is not to look at
- [10.8 - Different MA roles across EVC](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-8-different-ma-roles-across-evc/) - Moving averages serve different purposes depending on which cycle we're looking at within our EVC framework. It's crucial to understand these distinctions to effectively read market conditions and find quality trades. Moving Averages in the Momentum Cycle When looking at momentum cycles (typically on weekly and daily timeframes), we're focused on how price interacts with
- [10.7 - MA's and evolving markets](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-7-mas-and-evolving-markets/) - Moving averages serve as a powerful tool for understanding how money flows into markets and whether it continues to do so. They help identify if sufficient capital has entered for something to be re-demanded or to continue its movement, and they indicate when an asset needs time or might be ready for the next move.
- [10.6 - The 5 EMA cheat code](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-6-the-5-ema-cheat-code/) - The 5 EMA serves as a special cheat code in trading, helping us anticipate where the 10 EMA will catch up to price later. This is crucial because it gives us insight into whether big money is actually coming into the market at or above the rising averages. Let me break down exactly how this
- [10.5 - 5 / 10 / 20 moving averages](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-5-5-10-20-moving-averages/) - Everything in trading should start with testing. After trying countless combinations of moving averages, these specific ones emerged as the most reliable for what we're trying to accomplish: The 10 and 20 EMAs provide our core framework A brightly colored 5 EMA adds precision to entries Together, they create a clean, uncluttered view of price
- [10.4 - Moving average interactions with MB types](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-4-moving-average-interactions-with-mb-types/) - Moving averages serve as key tools for identifying different types of Ment Blocks (MBs). Their relationship with price helps determine whether we're seeing accumulation or momentum MBs, directly influencing our trading decisions. Moving Average Characteristics The initial validation of an MB comes from price breaking and closing above the 10 and 20 moving averages. This
- [10.3 - Composite operator and moving averages](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-3-composite-operator-and-moving-averages/) - Moving averages serve as key indicators of market momentum and institutional behavior. Their primary function varies depending on the timeframe being analyzed, but they consistently help identify areas where big money enters and protects positions. Moving Average Dynamics Moving averages help identify where the composite operator (big money) wants to enter and protect their positions.
- [10.2 - Moving averages and market cycles](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-2-moving-averages-and-market-cycles/) - When price starts pushing above its averages, it's telling us something crucial about what's happening in the market. Think about it - if price suddenly starts moving in a way it wasn't before, what does that really mean? It means money is flowing into the market differently. Understanding Price Movement vs. Averages This is actually
- [10.1 - Introduction to moving averages](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/10-1-introduction-to-moving-averages/) - Moving averages are one of the most fundamental tools we use in trading, but there's often confusion about what they actually are. Let's break this down in the simplest way possible. What is a Moving Average? At its core, a moving average is exactly what it sounds like - it's just the average of price
- [9.16 - My process of finding trade opportunities](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-16-my-process-of-finding-trade-opportunities/) - The process of finding and positioning ourselves in markets requires a systematic approach that combines multiple timeframe analysis with clear validation points. This approach isn't about predicting what will happen next, but rather about understanding what the market needs to show us before we can execute a trade. Finding Trade Opportunities The starting point for
- [6.8 - Wins, losses, and break-evens](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/6-8-wins-losses-and-break-evens/) - Let's dive into more real-world examples of how stage 1 and 2 analysis plays out in actual trades. We'll look at UTHR and Netflix, both on 65-minute charts. Looking at the UTHR chart, we can see the familiar pattern of stage 1 and stage 2 movements: Stage 1: Price moving sideways (accumulation) Stage 2: Price
- [6.9 - Preface to deeper stage understanding](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/6-9-preface-to-deeper-stage-understanding/) - Let's examine another real-world example of how stage 1 and 2 analysis plays out in an actual trade. This time, we're looking at FICO on a 65-minute chart. Identifying Stages in FICO As we look at this chart, we can see the familiar pattern of stage 1 and stage 2 movements: Stage 1 is where
- [6.10 - Deep stage 1 stage 2 and complex accumulation](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/6-10-deep-stage-1-stage-2-and-complex-accumulation/) - In this extended lesson, we're looking into how various trading concepts we've learned come together in a real-world trading scenario. We'll be looking at NVIDIA's chart and walking through a trade I personally took, connecting the dots between stages, accumulation, and market cycles. Let's start by looking at NVIDIA on a 65-minute chart. As we
- [7.1 - Stages and cycles](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/6-11-stages-and-cycles/) - Market cycles are the heartbeat of trading. They're not just abstract concepts - they're the very essence of how prices move and trends form. Everything kicks off with a major flush. This isn't your run-of-the-mill pullback; we're talking about a significant drop that catches everyone's attention. It's like the market's way of hitting the reset
- [7.2 - Snowflake rule](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/6-12-snowflake-rule/) - Think about snowflakes for a second. When you're outside and it's snowing, you know it's snow falling on you. But if you look at each snowflake under a microscope, you'll see they're all unique. Markets are just like that. The snowflake rule tells us that while markets follow general patterns, each move is unique in
- [7.3 - The full market cycle](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/6-13-the-full-market-cycle/) - This is what I call the "snowflake rule" of market cycles. It's not just about understanding stage 1 and stage 2 - it's about seeing how these stages interact and repeat in a fractal, snowflake-like pattern. The Essence of the Snowflake Rule At its core, the snowflake rule tells us that market movements are like
- [7.4 - Applying the full market cycle](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/7-4-applying-the-full-market-cycle/) - Let's dive into a real-world example of a full market cycle, using NVIDIA's 65-minute chart. This is where the rubber meets the road, folks. The Anatomy of a Trend Remember, we're looking at the entry timeframe here. We haven't touched on validation or context yet - that's coming later. For now, we're focusing on the
- [7.5 - Full cycle executions](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/75-full-cycle-executions/) - The full cycle in trading is a critical concept for understanding market movements and identifying profitable opportunities. It provides a framework for analyzing price action and making informed trading decisions. Key Components of the Full Cycle The full cycle consists of several important stages: Major Flush Anticipation of Higher Low Accumulation Stage 1 Stage 2
- [7.6 - MBs and the entry full cycle](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/7-6-mbs-and-the-entry-full-cycle/) - The market cycle consists of several important components: Major flush: A significant price drop that marks the start of a new cycle Stage one: An accumulation phase, often accompanied by the anticipation of a higher low Stage two: An upward movement phase where price moves higher Within these larger stages, we can observe fractal stages
- [7.7 - MBs and fractal stages](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/7-7-mbs-and-fractal-stages/) - You might have noticed that fractal stage ones and twos often line up with MBs. But here's the kicker - they're not always the same thing. An MB becomes truly valid when it creates validated demand on some timeframe. A fractal stage one, on the other hand, might form before the MB is actually validated.
- [7.8 - Entry points within market cycles](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/7-8-entry-points-within-market-cycles/) - Remember that cocoa futures chart we were looking at? Well, we're picking up right where we left off. And let me tell you, this is where things get interesting. We saw a beautiful run-up, right? Price just kept climbing, making those higher highs and higher lows. But here's the kicker - most markets don't deliver
- [7.9 - Cycles - from minutes to weeks](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/7-9-cycles-from-minutes-to-weeks/) - Let's talk about market cycles across different timeframes. We've been looking at these patterns for a while now, but here's where it gets really interesting. From Minutes to Weeks We started with gold on a one-minute chart. Now, you might think that's too fast to see anything meaningful, but guess what? The same cycle we've
- [7.10 - Markets cycles on all assets and timeframes](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/7-10-markets-cycles-on-all-assets-and-timeframes/) - Remember how we looked at gold on a one-minute chart and Apple on a weekly? Well, buckle up, because now we're zooming in even further. We're talking NASDAQ futures on a 15-second chart. And guess what? The same cycle is there, clear as day. Major flush, stage one building up, those fractal ones and twos
- [7.11 - Bullish and bearish cycles across assets](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/7-11-bullish-and-bearish-cycles-across-assets/) - Remember those beautiful, trend-following moves we looked at before? Well, they're not as common as we'd like. But here's the kicker - you don't need to catch every big move to be profitable. If you can consistently capitalize on parts of these cycles, you're already ahead of the game. The Asymmetry of Markets Here's something
- [8.1 - Market cycles visually + intro to V](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/7-12-following-a-market-cycle-on-a-lower-timeframe/) - The full market cycle typically starts with a major flush, followed by a stage one (sideways, corrective environment), then a stage two (markup or markdown). This pattern often repeats with flushes, stage ones, and stage twos until a new major flush occurs. Stages aren't perfect boxes! The market is an emotional sphere with billions of
- [8.2 - Consistency - small wins, break evens, good losses](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/1-2-consistency-small-wins-break-evens-good-losses/) - We will be applying the full cycle trading approach over two consecutive trading days. It demonstrates that consistent profitability comes not from winning every trade, but from proper trade management and adherence to a well-defined system. We continue to use the EVC (Entry, Validation, Context) framework, focusing on: Entry timeframe: 30 second chart Validation timeframe:
- [8.4 - Trading the cycle (day 4)](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/8-3-trading-the-cycle-continued/) - Trading is all about recognizing and capitalizing on market cycles. These cycles, consisting of accumulation and distribution phases, repeat at various timeframes. By understanding where you are in a cycle, you can make more informed trading decisions. The market moves in stages, typically referred to as Stage 1 (accumulation) and Stage 2 (markup or markdown).
- [8.3 - Applying the full cycle model to NQ futures](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/8-3-applying-the-full-cycle-model-to-nq-futures/) - Before entering any trade, it's essential to understand where the market is in its overall cycle. Are we in an accumulation phase, a distribution phase, or somewhere in between? This context helps us make more informed decisions about potential entry and exit points. For example, if we identify that we're in the early stages of
- [9.4 - Accumulation and momentum MBs](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-4-accumulation-and-momentum-mbs/) - This lesson focuses on two main types of entries: accumulation-based and momentum continuation-based. By recognizing these entry types and their characteristics, traders can make more informed decisions and manage their positions more effectively. The Two Main Entry Types In a bullish market, there are two primary types of entries: Accumulation-Based MBs (Demand Blocks): These entries
- [9.3 - Identifying entry opportunities with DMB](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-3-identifying-entry-opportunities-with-dmb/) - The core principle we're exploring is that every significant move in the market begins with a double demand block formation. This doesn't mean that every double MB will lead to a significant move, but it does mean that significant moves always start this way. A double MB occurs when two demand blocks form in succession,
- [9.2 - Classifying entries to MB, FMB, FFMB](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-2-classifying-entries-to-mb-fmb-ffmb/) - At the core of market analysis is the concept of demand blocks (MBs). These represent areas where buying pressure is likely to emerge, potentially leading to upward price movements. However, not all MBs are created equal, and understanding their nuances can significantly improve your trading decisions. Types of Demand Blocks We classify demand blocks into
- [9.1 - Introduction to entries](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-1-introduction-to-entries/) - At its core, every entry in the market is based on some form of demand block (MB). An MB represents a area where buying pressure is likely to emerge, potentially leading to an upward move in price. However, not all MBs are created equal, and understanding their nuances can greatly improve your trading decisions. Types
- [9.5 - Accumulation MB characteristics](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-5-accumulation-mb-characteristics/) - This lesson focuses on the characteristics and benefits of trading accumulation-based MBs, as well as their relationship with moving averages and market cycles. Characteristics of Accumulation-Based MBs Occur within flushes and stage 1s: Accumulation-based MBs typically form during or after a price flush, or within the stage 1 buildup that leads to a stage 2
- [9.7 - Bridging the gap between the E and the V](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-7-bridging-the-gap-between-the-e-and-the-v/) - We're going to bridge the gap between the entry timeframe and the validation timeframe. You'll know exactly what you want to see happen on the validation timeframe for you to step lower, and look for the entry. The key lies in understanding how MBs manifest differently at each level: On the entry timeframe, we often
- [9.8 - Examples of trades (from V to E)](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-8-examples-of-trades-going-from-v-to-e/) - Alright, let's talk about bridging the gap between the entry cycle and the validation cycle. This is where things start to get really interesting, and you'll see how the accumulation-based MBs interact with the momentum-based MBs on multiple timeframes. What's Really Going On? When you look at a chart, you're not just seeing random price
- [9.9 - A framework for entry](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-9-a-framework-for-entry/) - Before we dive into the examples, let's quickly recap a few key points: Your E timeframe is usually about 6x smaller than your V timeframe On the V timeframe, we're looking for momentum-based MBs On the E timeframe, we're watching for accumulation-based MBs Markets often go through about four fractal stages or bases before a
- [9.10 - Learn from your trades using case studies](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-10-learn-from-your-trades-using-case-studies/) - Case studies are your secret weapon for improvement. They help you see how the concepts you've learned actually play out in real markets. Plus, they build your confidence, sharpen your eye for good trade opportunities, and let you learn from both wins and losses. How to Do Effective Case Studies Here's a simple process I
- [9.11 - Using ATR for stop placement](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-11-using-atr-for-stop-placement/) - The Average True Range (ATR) gives us a powerful way to measure market volatility and set appropriate stop losses. Instead of guessing where to place stops or using arbitrary numbers, ATR helps maintain consistency across different market conditions. Understanding ATR Basics The ATR measures average price movement over the last 14 bars. You'll find this
- [9.12 - Risk calculation in TradingView (simplified)](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-12-risk-calculation-in-tradingview-simplified/) - TradingView makes risk calculation straightforward with its built-in position sizing tools. Instead of doing complex math yourself, you can use these tools to quickly figure out exactly how many shares, contracts, or lots you should trade to maintain proper risk management. Basic Risk Setup The process starts with two key numbers: Your account size Your
- [9.13 - Single major entry cycle concept](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/8-5-single-major-entry-cycle-concept/) - The market isn't a collection of separate cycles - it's one major cycle that repeats across different timeframes. Let's break down this crucial concept that will change how you view market movement. The Major Entry Cycle There's only one major cycle - the entry cycle. While price follows this cycle on every timeframe, we don't
- [9.14 - The flexible EVC approach](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-14-the-flexible-evc-approach/) - Think about trading timeframes like using different lenses to look at the market. We've got our main way of looking at things - the 15-minute entry with 90-minute validation, and then the 65-minute entry with daily validation. The weekly sits up top as context. But here's the thing - we're not stuck using just one
- [9.15 - Momentum and accumulation MBs working together](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/9-15-momentum-and-accumulation-mbs-working-together/) - Trading with momentum and accumulation MBs isn't about perfection - it's about understanding how different timeframes work together to create opportunities. Let's break down how this actually works in practice. Multiple Entry Timeframes When you're starting out, it's totally fine to stick with one entry timeframe. You might make less money in the short term,
- [2.1 - Supply, demand, and the composite operator](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/rules-of-the-market-and-the-composite-operator/) - Let's dive into the conceptual framework of what we do here at Mentfx. We're starting with the actual fundamental rules of the market. The Game of Supply and Demand The market follows fundamental rules, and those rules are simply a game of supply and demand. Supply and demand are the need of any given order
- [1.1 - Welcome to the Mentfx private mentorship](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/welcome-to-the-mentfx-private-mentorship/) - Welcome to the team! There's a ton of stuff you're going to learn over your time here, and we're jumping right into it. If you're brand new, this should give you everything you need to start approaching the market from the correct lens, on the correct time frames, and everything alongside it. One of the
- [2.2 - How true supply and demand is created](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/understanding-market-moves-and-dynamics/) - The market operates on a fundamental game of supply and demand. When supply is in control, price goes down. As demand accumulates and supply dries up, demand takes off and markets start to run. We're going to look at what creates bullish moves in the underlying market: What's creating these bullish moves? How do bullish
- [2.3 - Demand zones across timeframes](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/real-world-examples-across-timeframes/) - The fundamental game of the entire market is simply supply and demand. Once demand enters the market and is validated, a demand zone is created. This sets the stage for a potential market run. Key concept: The composite operator is positioned, and supply has been transferred to demand. These positions are expected to increase in
- [3.1 - Introduction to Ment Blocks (MBs)](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/introduction-to-ment-blocks-mbs/) - We've covered the examples of supply and demand. This is what forms a supply demand zone: supply comes in, it's demanded, and all that supply is demanded because the composite operator knows where it wants to take price. Key concept: The validation of demand means they don't want to sell at a price where they
- [3.2 - Ment Blocks across timeframes](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/ment-blocks-across-timeframes/) - The underlying principle of demand in the market is that as demand enters, the market wants to move in the direction of validated demand, pushing prices higher. Ment Blocks Across Timeframes When we look deeper across multiple timeframes, we observe that: Demand zones are often repeated on lower timeframes These lower timeframe demand zones can
- [3.3 - The universal application of Ment Blocks](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/ment-blocks-in-action-examples-across-markets-and-timeframes/) - The fundamental principle of demand in the market is that as demand enters and is validated, the market wants to move in that direction, pushing prices higher.

- [3.4 - Fractal nature and timeframes](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/fractality-and-timeframe-interactions/) - Understanding how trends function and how prices truly move gives you an advantage over most traders who are often stuck on the wrong side of trends. Ment Block Fractality Ment blocks (MBs) exhibit a fractal nature across timeframes: Lower timeframe MBs can be found within higher timeframe MBs Multiple demand validations can occur within a
- [3.5 - Nested Ment Blocks](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/nested-ment-blocks-and-complex-market-structures/) - As we delve deeper into the concept of Ment Blocks (MBs), we uncover more complex structures and interactions between timeframes. This understanding is crucial for developing a proficient market analysis approach. Nested Ment Block Structures Within larger Ment Blocks, you'll find: Smaller, nested MBs Multiple demand validations Potential failure of some demand zones leading to
- [3.6 - Introduction to Double MB (DMB)](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/timeframe-interactions-and-market-structure/) - Ment Blocks (MBs) exhibit complex interactions across different timeframes. Buy-stopping through an MB high on a lower timeframe often aligns with a demand zone on a higher timeframe. This creates a nested structure where lower timeframe MBs form within higher timeframe MBs. Key concept: The interaction between timeframes is crucial for understanding market structure and
- [3.7 - Connecting micro and macro views](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/real-market-examples-across-timeframes/) - The foundational elements of the market are now becoming clearer. As you continue to study and apply these concepts, you'll develop a more nuanced approach to market analysis and trading. Remember, once you've seen it, you won't unsee it, and you won't see the market any other way. Identifying MBs in Real Markets Ment Blocks
- [3.8 - Interpreting MBs in higher timeframes](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/complex-ment-block-structures-and-interactions/) - We've introduced the understanding of demand validations, MB validations, MBs within MBs, and MBs happening after validated MBs while still being inside unvalidated MBs. This complex interaction forms the basis of how market moves start and develop. Analyzing MBs in Real Markets When examining real market examples, keep in mind: The market or timeframe you're
- [3.9 - The cycle of supply and demand](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/realizations-about-market-moves-and-the-theoretical-trading-world/) - We've made important realizations about market moves and Ment Blocks (MBs). The exact clear move isn't always identifiable, and as we move to higher timeframes, even single candles can represent complex demand structures. Demand Zones on Higher Timeframes On higher timeframes, demand zones can take unexpected forms: A single candle might represent a validated demand
- [3.10 - Example - NQ futures case study](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/applying-ment-block-concepts/) - We've laid a true foundation of how markets move. Now, let's explore this further with real examples, keeping in mind that these concepts apply to any market and all timeframes. When examining charts, you should start to see larger, unvalidated MBs, validated MBs within larger structures, and new MBs forming after validated ones. The market
- [3.11 - A multi-timeframe perspective](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/ment-block-concepts-in-action-fractal-nature-of-mbs/) - We've explored how the market operates under fundamental laws across various examples. It's crucial to understand that these concepts apply to any timeframe and any market. When examining charts, your eyes should naturally gravitate towards potential MBs. In this example of EURUSD, we can identify several MB formations: Larger, unvalidated MBs Validated MBs within larger
- [3.12 - Example - Analyzing MBs on UTHR stock](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/multi-timeframe-ment-block-analysis/) - We've explored numerous examples of MBs creating higher timeframe validated demands. Now, let's apply these concepts to real trades, focusing on how MBs form and validate across different timeframes. When examining charts of actual trades, look for: Larger, unvalidated MBs Validated MBs within larger structures New MBs forming after validated ones Key concept: The same
- [3.13 - Example - A Google trade breakdown](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/from-one-minute-to-65-minute-charts/) - Ment Blocks (MBs) are a powerful concept that applies across all timeframes, from one-minute charts to daily and weekly views. This consistency is key to understanding how the composite operator moves the market. MB Formations Across Timeframes MBs form in similar patterns regardless of the timeframe: Unvalidified MBs contain smaller, validated MBs Validation of demand
- [4.1 - Introduction to market structure](https://mentfx.com/courses/mastery-course/lessons/structure-and-order-flow-reading-market-intent/) - Building on our understanding of supply and demand, we now explore how these concepts interact over time to form market structure.
