All placed with stop loss above the OB including spread if you are selling or
stop loss below the OB if you are Buying also including spread.
If you trade major pairs, such as EURUSD spread shouldn't be an issue

The Open of the OB being the highest probability of trigger with the wick

Note, I said triggering, not
probability of the trade winning, as that probability is the same regardless

And this is the end of the SMC Trading Strategy.

Bullish Flag pattern
It’s a temporary pause after an upward move.
formed when price consolidates between a downward sloping support and resistance lines just like in rising wedge.Here, the slope of the support line is just as steep as that of the resistance. This indicates that higher lows are
being formed at the same rate as higher highs. This leads to a rectangle-like formation sloping downwards, forming the shape of a flag

Bearish Flag pattern
It’s the opposite of bullish flag pattern. It’s a temporary pause after a downward move.
formed when price consolidates between a upward sloping support and resistance lines just like in rising wedge.Here, the slope of the support line is just as steep as that of the resistance. This indicates that higher lows are
being formed at the same rate as higher highs. This leads to a rectangle-like formation sloping upwards, forming the shape of a flag

This First 2 boxes of this picture shows the Bullish Flag and Bearish Flag

Bearish Flag Pattern

Bullish Flag Pattern

So we’re done with continuation patterns, now let’s move on to neutral patterns

Ascending Triangle
This type of triangle chart pattern occurs when there is a resistance level and a slope of higher lows.
What happens during this time is that there is a certain level that the buyers cannot seem to exceed.
However, they are gradually starting to push the price up as evident by the higher lows.

Descending Triangle
As you probably guessed, descending triangles are the exact opposite of ascending triangles ( I knew you
were smart!). In descending triangle chart patterns, there is a string of lower highs which forms the upper
line. The lower line is a support level in which the price cannot seem to break.

Symmetrical Triangle
A symmetrical triangle is a chart formation where the slope of the price’s highs and the slope of the
price’s lows converge together to a point where it looks like a triangle.
What’s happening during this formation is that the market is making lower highs and higher lows. This
means that neither the buyers nor the sellers are pushing the price far enough to make a clear trend.
Now one thing you must know is chart patterns predicts breaks
Some chart patterns predict that price would break to the upside, some to the down side, and others to either of both sides
Looking at the definition earlier, what direction do you think it’s going to break out to?

Expanding Triangle
An expanded triangle is a chart formation where the slope of the price’s highs and the slope of the
price’s lows expands.
This means that neither the buyers nor the sellers are pushing the price far enough to make a clear trend while still gaining little momentum.

Now, also looking at the definition earlier, what direction do you think it’s going to break out to?

Remember this is under Neutral patterns and neither the buyers nor sellers are dominating so at the end, either of them can win control. So it can go either direction

INDICATORS
What are indicators;
Indicator are tools used to forecast future prices.
it helps in determining where the market prices might be headed.

Here are list of some major and popular indicators you can work with, I’ll be explaining them one after the other and also telling you how you can trade with them
1. Moving average[EMA (Exponential moving average) and SMA(simple moving average)]
2. RSI(Relative strength index)
4. Stochastic
5. Bollinger band
6. MACD
7.ADX( Average directional index)
8. Parabolic Star

You have to also know that despite these indicators proving to be very profitable, they are not 100% accurate, that’s why you have risk management that would be discussed later in this class

With practice, you’ll be able to further understand how your indicators work and be more profitable with it
