In today’s Green Room session, we revisited the core building blocks of Master Trader Technical Strategies (MTS) — the structured process that turns charts into clear, objective decisions.
Rather than focusing on indicators or opinions, this review reinforced the step-by-step framework traders use to analyze any market, timeframe, or instrument with consistency.
What We Covered
1. Trend Identification
We began by defining whether the market is up, down, or sideways, and the objective criteria used to determine trend direction. Understanding trend is the starting point because it establishes the environment in which all trades occur.
2. Bottoming vs. Topping
We examined how to recognize whether price is attempting to form a base or a peak, and what price behavior communicates.
3. Support and Resistance
Using pivots, retests, and bar-by-bar analysis, we mapped out where buyers and sellers have previously taken control — the areas most likely to influence future decisions.
4. The Role of Voids
We discussed how to identify price voids — areas where little trading occurred — and why they often act as pathways for faster movement once price enters them.
5. Defining the Big-Picture Pattern
Stepping back, we evaluated how individual price swings combine to form broader structures that shape expectations and bias.
6. The Right-Edge Pattern
With the context established, we narrowed the focus to the pattern forming now — the only place trades can actually occur.
7. Bar-by-Bar Action Signals
Finally, we applied bar-by-bar analysis to determine whether price was signaling action, neutrality, or the need for further confirmation — and what specific changes would shift the outlook.
If you haven't taken an MTS course, it's the Fast Track to learning and internalizing the trading strategies we use every day in the Green Room and MT letters.
