The Framework

A volume-based methodology — broken down step by step.

You don't need to stare at charts all day. This is a structured set of rules — analyse setups in the morning, mark your levels, and let the trade come to you. Three steps, in sequence. Skip any one and the edge disappears.

Step 01

ATR Reading

Is the move just starting? Read volatility to know if you should even be looking.

Step 02

MTP Zone

Use a fixed volume profile on a break of structure to define your trade zone.

Step 03

Net Volume Confirmation

Wait for a positive net volume candle inside the zone. That's your entry trigger.

Step 01

ATR Reading.

Read volatility to know where you are in a move — before you even think about entries.

What ATR actually tells you

ATR (Average True Range) measures volatility. But more importantly, it tells you whether the move is just starting, in the middle, or already exhausted.

Why low ATR matters

The whole point is to enter before the expansion, not during it. Low ATR means compression — energy building up. That's your green light to start looking for setups. If ATR is already elevated, skip the chart. Move on.

Low ATR
This is when we trade.
Rising
Already mid-move. Too late.
High
Move is exhausting. Don't chase.

Step 02

The MTP Zone.

Find where on the chart to take the trade — using a fixed volume profile on a break of structure.

Prior swing high BOS LEG MTP Low TRADE ZONE Trade zone (Low → MTP) Most Transacted Price
BOS leg → Fixed volume profile → MTP → Defined trade zone

Finding the zone

Once ATR clears, you need to know where on the chart to trade. Three sub-steps — visible on the chart.

01
Identify a Break of Structure (BOS). A clean break of a recent swing high or low. Standard structural read — nothing fancy.
02
Plot a Fixed Volume Profile on the BOS leg. The profile reveals where the highest concentration of transactions occurred — the Most Transacted Price (MTP).
03
Define the zone. The trade zone is the area between the low of the BOS leg and the MTP. Your interest area — but not your entry. Not yet.
Step 03

Net Volume Confirmation.

The zone tells you where. Net volume tells you when. The candle that confirms is your trigger.

Why the zone alone isn't enough

A common mistake: price tags the zone, you go long. That's gambling, not trading. The zone is your interest area — but the entry needs confirmation from real volume.

The trigger

Wait for price to enter the zone. Then watch for a candle that prints positive net volume (for longs) or negative (for shorts). That candle's close is your entry. The exact price within the zone doesn't matter — top, middle, or bottom. The volume confirmation is what matters.

What the diagram shows

Price retraces into the zone (the grey candles falling in). The next candle prints positive net volume — visible as the highlighted bar in the volume panel below. That candle's close is your entry. Target: the next liquidity pool above, marked TGT.

Price enters zone → Positive net volume candle → Entry on close → Target: liquidity above
