How to read it
- Structure: BOS and CHoCHA close through the last swing high or low. With the trend it is a break of structure (BOS); against it, a change of character (CHoCH).
- Order blocksThe last candle against a move before it broke structure: where that move started. Shown until price trades back through it.
- Fair value gapsThree candles where the first and third do not overlap, on a strong middle candle: the gap price left behind.
- Equal highs and lowsTwo swings at almost the same price. Stops tend to sit just past them.
- Liquidity sweepsA wick runs past a swing high or low, then the candle closes back inside it.
- Premium and discountThe top and bottom of the current range, with equilibrium on its midpoint: is price high or low in its range?
- Previous day, week and monthTheir highs and lows, carried across today's chart.
