Not every setup is a true Market Maker Setup You must know and understand the CONTEXT behind the setups in order to properly identify a real valid Market Maker setup ALWAYS know the overall price directional bias ONLY take trades in the direction of the overall trend

Not every up candle which is then traded down through or down candle which is then traded up through is an Sponsor candle Never look for a setup Always look for liquidity first Identify the higher time frame liquidity Understand that the marker moves with INTENTION, price is not just random To the left of current price is technical, to the right of price is fundamentals and Market Makers Technicals are just added confirmations and confluence for our setups.

Price will do whatever it wants. Never risk more then 1% of your account on a trade Always use proper risk to reward ratios, 1:2 minimum To understand the concepts, we will be discussing in these notes, you will need to know where retail traders trade and the major patterns and levels retail traders are taught to trade at. Technical analysis is great to know, but you need to know when to enter the market and what the Market Makers will do prior to completing the technical setups.

All price prior to current price is technical and all current and future price is controlled by Market Makers. The main reason why most retail traders fail is because they do not understand how price action works, simply because they do not understand the logistics of price movement. Any trader can teach themselves or be taught how to identify key price points and mark up a chart with support and resistance levels and other technicals, but few truly understand how the Market Makers work these key price points.

Before we get into learning sponsor candles and institutional candles, (the things I use on a daily basis on my setups) we must stand by a few rules when trading these concepts
