Traders are often told to find specific setups on the chart, collect data, and build a system around them.

So they pick something like HTF sweep + LTF BOS, backtest it for a week across different conditions, add a couple of indicators, and go live.

In reality, the edge doesn’t come from the setup.
It comes from the market phase.

Most of the time, the market does nothing.

Trying to trade liquidity grabs and structure breaks inside a range, or calling reversals in an aggressive trend, leads to predictable losses.

The starting point of any trade is understanding the current phase.

You don’t need complex tools for this.
A quick look at the chart, a pair of eyes, and something simple like moving averages is enough to see direction and volatility. Complexity comes later if needed.

Each phase requires its own playbook.

In a trend, you want momentum. You enter on pullbacks, follow order flow.
In a range, you work the boundaries. You look for reversals.

So the process is simple:

• Identify the phase
• Choose setups based on that phase
• Refine your execution

Practical example:

The current phase can be technically described as “absolute mess” → the corresponding setup is developing a dependency on nicotine and video games.

Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz. That is not the agreement we have!

An unknown trader bought $12M worth of S&P 500 call options just hours before Trump announced a ceasefire on Tuesday.

The position:
6,800 SPX 6950 calls (expiring May 8), opened when the index was at 6556.

After the announcement, equities jumped. The trade turned into ~$35M, locking in about $23M profit in a single day.
At the same time, someone dumped ~8,600 lots of Brent and WTI futures worth ~$950M ahead of the news.
Oil dropped 15%, falling below $100 per barrel.

This isn’t the first time.
On March 23, traders sold ~$500M in oil futures just 15 minutes before Trump announced a delay in strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure.

Same reaction: oil down ~15%.
Same pattern: positioning before headlines.
