How To Understand Market Structure | FOREX | SMC (Part 1)

The clearest explanation about structure that I've seen on YT so far!

Dude this is the best market structure explanation I've ever watched. Not only explained, but also the chart walkthrough was crystal clear.

1:30 (1) CONSISTENTLY Map Market Structure = high probability you will be on the right side of the market. = HIGHER STRIKE RATE. (2) sky rocket RRR and (3) Gain CONFIDENCE. 3:28 Importance of Consistency. Become a SME at mapping market structure. Put the work in and you will see exponential results. No one can do your push ups for you. 4:30 Basic Market Structure 6:00 Higher TF Swing highs and swing lows > this is basis of market structure and trend bias. 6:20 EVERYTHING in between the Swing High and Low is INTERNAL STRUCTURE. 6:55 SWING LOW = the LOWEST point that caused the Swing HIGH not negotiable. 8:10 Become a SME and Understand External (Swing high /low) vs Internal Structure. IF you trade internal structure and counter trend trades = expect a low probability of success. 9:55 Break out traders who jump in at or above highs = low probability of success. (Why 50 to 70% this move has already happened >> you are trading for low pennies and have high risk of market gong against you. 10:05 when you see a BoS > automatically starting looking the price level where the next low will form.

35:15 The 2nd CHoCH confirms the internal structure is now aligned bearish with the External Structure.
35:20 Key concept: When internal structure aligns with external structure then you have a high probability of setup. Remainder of this video covers in detail additional CHoCH and valid entries.36:50 Summary. List of questions to ask yourself when you analyzing market structure.

I HAVE BEEN MAKING LOSSES TRADING MYSELF...I THOUGHT TRADING ON DEMO ACCOUNT IS JUST LIKE TRADING THE REAL MARKET... CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST ADVICE ME ON WHAT TO DO?

26:40 Live Charts.
28:44 Internal structure now aligned with the Swing Structure (bearish) **** critical concept ***
37:00 Live charts walk through = AWESOME.
37:15 Checklist. (1) map out swing high and swing low (2) Pro trend or counter trend (3) has the pull back started (4) has there been a change of character ? (5) Is the internal structure back in line with the swing structure ? (6) Where are the weak highs or weak lows ? (7) your target should be the weak high or weak low points the structure.

Three years trading...this is the most valuable video I've ever seen. Thank you...inadvertently great for psychology too

22:40 Structure mapping >> HOW to use the wicks or the candle bodies for the highs and lows. BULLISH CASE examples:
TYPE 1 (conservative) full body candle candle must close above the wick.
Type 2 ( aggressive) only a wick needs to form above the previous high.
25:00 Type 1 used when Swing high or low confirmation required = continuation.
Type 2 (wick break above the high or below the low) used for CHoCH
26:30 Live chart walk through. 4h TF valid pullback +-/ 40 pips (or a minimum 3 candles?? > WHY >< need three candles to form a high or low = middle plus one to left and one to right) 32:35 Reversal Minor fractal high taken out 33:32 BEARISH CHoCH is very subtle (best to scale down from 15 to 5m or less TF this fails to make a LL !! Bullish CHoCH forms and market takes out the Bearish Swing high = reversal confirmed.

I just wanna say - I really appreciate you, man. Coming across your videos have really enlightened my
Psychology as well so I got into your course after watching all your YT videos twice. STAYING PROCESS ORIENTED rather than goal oriented - thank you! I want this so bad

This is the clearest explanation of structure I've heard in 2 years, thank you 💯💯

To be honest you're the best SMC teacher ever I founded omg idk why I didn't find you long back ago. Thank you so much for providing such a valuable content as well making it very easy to understand.👌 You're seriously awesome bro. ❤️

ive gone through 75% of your course..and i must say this is the absolute best outline/presentation of SMC i have seen after watching many other traders explain what SMC consists of....your psych course is also an eye opener....simply superb work...i can only commend you on all the time and effort you have put into this...amazing...

No waste time💪
The clearest explanation🔥❤️ I just subscribed and watch the rest of your videos.

This video itself deserves millions of likes and shares , i am sad that i can only like once . This is the best Market Structure video i have ever seen> Thanks so much for your time and effort you put in . It means alot to us ,,, Watching you all the way up from Chins . Big love and Big respect , Keep pushing , cant wait to see your upcoming videos on YT .

Bru.... you the king of market structure 🔥🔥🔥 I have never seen this kinda break down in my life. Definitely interested in your Mentorship. The 40 plus min watching your video never get tired nor neither be bored. This is advanced level indeed. 🙏🙏

i have watched plenty videos about market structure but this video has more value both in the quality and information offered. Excellent work man, glad to find your youtube channel

Just found this video and agree with many of the comments, one of the best explanations of market structure I've seen. Thanks so much, I will be watching this over and over until it all sinks in

Totally great stuff! It makes me look at the chart differently than before. So much of structure :)

10:20 Strong and Weak highs and lows (this concept changed my life) Bullish market have a series of STRONG HIGHER LOWS and Bearish market have a series of Strong Lower HIGHs 10:55 the job of a higher low is make a HH and the job of lower high is make a LL. 12:00 GOAL in bullish markets to catch HL and in Bearish market the goal is catch a LH simple! 13:10 TREND CHANGES: Photon uses a single BoS for the trend change. (the BoS take out a strong low therefore the low is now a weak low) 17:00 CHoCH is used for INTERNAL structure. First sign of weakness in market. 17:43 CHoCH carton > very good. Tools used include: Liquidity, Supply and Demand CHoCH form the HH and HL (Bullish condition) and LH and LL (bearish condition) 20:05 Complex pullbacks

I have seen more than 100 videos about market structure on youtube.. This is literally the most complete video about market structure.. I want to say thank you.. you are the best❤❤

I'm glad I came across this video. Market structure is a new concept to me, however, it made so much sense.

I have to give credit where its due bro, you've helped clear up my market structure fog indefinitely, thanks for paying it forward 🥂

Hey I'm a beginner and I understand the market crash is the perfect time to make money, but how are some investors able to double there profit within a short period of time, a particular investor made up to $350,000 from trading about $100,000 within a couple of months, do they stand a better chance than others?

Fantastic video. I was getting thrown by internal structure, but this explains it really well. You went fast but I will go and rewatch a few times! Thanks!

I am having a hell of a time mapping out internal structure but I will watch the video severally and practice on the charts. This is a real gold mine!!! Kudos Mate.

I'm mind blown. This presentation is clean, to the point, impeccable. Quality is superb. Well done mate.

I asked for a clear explanation to help me overcome the frustration and confusion. Not 5 minutes after asking out loud I stumbled across your video. SUPERB. Stella work...I'm hooked. Thanks so much. 💪

I'm so excited to have stumbled upon this video. As a market structure trader, I never seen any video this clear and concise with regards to market structure. Thank you!

Hey Matt, first of all - you are an exceptional good teacher, the way you explain stuff really sinks in. Not many FX mentors can really drive the point home like you do. Thanks for the free teachings you provide on your channel!
Definitely considering to get your course!
One question I have: you say for you on the H4 40pips is your limit to consider a pullback to be Swing structure. Surely, this only is the fact for EU. What do you consider swing structure on pairs like GU, GJ, UJ and AU? Any way to figure that out by myself on any pairs?
Thanks mate, appreciate it!

Definitely a great teacher! Not sure about the validity of concept yet, but definitely great delivery of knowledge!

Hope you get back with the videos, you're freaking awesome, thank you for that masterclass. Simple but powerful

Man I just loved your method of teaching market structure,can you please make a video on how to trade the pullbacks into the supply/demand zones.
Thank you

This is superb. He’s doing the most out here making these concepts easy for traders. You’ve earned yourself a subscriber sire

Usually videos this long make me fall asleep but everything you said was on point unlike most of these other youtubers who never get to the point keep up the good work 🧠✍🏼🔥

Definitely this is the clearest and best explanation of market structure I've ever seen. I wish you would upload videos about other Price Action concepts.

Why aren't there a million views here??. This is by far the BEST explanation and clarity ive received. I am glad I came across your page and I really hope traders find this so that great improvement can be made. Thank you for this and I appreciate this content

Your content is absolutely amazing, this is the clearest explanation of market structure that I've seen in trying to understand the market. Liked and subscribed!! Thankyou so much for this.

Sometimes I really wondered how people make this huge profits investing on the stock market online, I agreed with you investing and earning is a legitimate way to gain financial freedom, but how is it done?

I have always been looking forward to trade SMC but without success but your videos are making things way too simple and practical

This is pure gold, Thankyou for doing us all a favour by making this video.

The best explanation I have found on understanding market structure, especially BOS. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, this is very valuable.

i'm' glad the video is longer, i don't generally take videos shorter than 30 min long very seriously. Thanks for the content mate!

Must say that was really amazing, explained very well and I got a lot from that, thank you very much :)

Ensuring profits understanding the markets structure would require lots of commitments and brains I believe, pretty much why I leverage aid from professionals, this way I find myself earning sparing me quality time to learn…..

Thanks bud for keepin us financially Educated! Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy, I still make over $22,000 every single week.

You are a life saver sir, thank you for this simplest explanation

I love how simple but very very precise explanation about MS thank you Matt.

I see this video as the most important video found on UAclips to understand these key concepts with so much clarity and examples, highly highly appreciated
I just have one doubt, the candles on you chart are not in 2 colours and there are rather 3, so i am just wondering what actually is the meaning of the three different candles, the white candle, the grey candle and the blue candle, also how can we setup that, to make our charts look like yours!!
Would be waiting for a reply 🙂

You k!lled it! I learnt market structure from you don't forget that and thanks for taking your time, energy and resources to put this free content here for me 🙏

Finally, I understand "Break of Structure". I'm new to smart money concept but I know Structure is the foundation of this concept. I will need to watch again and again to understand the internal structure and change of character.
There is no doubt your UAclips subscribers will explode in no time. Great content

bro you made this so much easier to understand and you teach at a great pace! keep it up!!

You have literally anwsered every question I had about structure in one vid, clear and precise!!

God has answered my prayers, I’ve been looking for videos that explain market structure and this is by far the best I’ve seen, I’ve just subscribed as well. Will be checking the rest of your videos

I wonder why it is that we expect a pullback after BoS, perhaps bc if for exampleit takes out a swing high, it's taken that liquidity it can take down and profit from that first, before continuing up? Or perhaps simply because a BoS is likely to be an impulse leg, which naturally sets expectation of a retracement/pullback..
Great content btw, grateful for your help. Learned a few things within minutes of watching your videos.

For Free + PDF?? I cannot thank you enough for this! More blessings to you Sir!

Thank you for this much needed help and giving back to the community. I really needed this🙏🏼

Hi mate! Did you learn all this from ICT? If not, where did you learn all this SMC knowledge? Really great content by the way, looking forward for more valuable content like this :)

Sir you are gem on market structure watched all the series already and it was just blessfull..

Crystal clear view of Market structure...Thanks for your ideas.. This will help all struggling traders a lot.. keep going bro👌👌👍

very informative and transparent . market structure simplified to the core !

Thank you for your Generosity on explaining this although I know this already but this information is worth bucks and time before I knew this! Thank you Photon!

I have been watching and going through other peoples videos and i must say,this is the clearest explanation i got and i was amazed honestly. Your explanations are really good

This was my missing puzzle as an ICT type trader. Good job mate

After a few days of watching traders explain stuff over and over during this christmas season, i still don't get anything.
7 mins in, i am now learning something. Thanks .

Wow, what an explanation. More than a golden nugget . Way more . 🙏🏻

Please make more YT videos. You're easily one of the best analytical traders out there

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions

Before I started this video I came to the comments and people kept saying this is the clearest video on market structure they've seen. I was skeptical because I see comments like that under every market structure video and I end up still being confused as hell.....but this has got to be the most comprehensive video of market structure I have seen!! Clear, precise and inline with my own beginner studies on market structure.
Definitely subscribing to your channel. And please tell me there's 2 and 3

Thanks alot for such an absolute teaching on structures!!

Wow..m glad I came across... Very warped but very technical and helpful. Understood it but having a tough time using the internal CHOCH Will do some back test and try using it next week. Amazing vid.
Thanks a lot..

such great content and approach, you have a great way of breaking down complex topics!

This content is supper rich thank you for making it available and free bro God bless you 🙏 this is alot of information you don't get on a daily basis 🔥 I apriciate you man

Excellent video! Very clear and effective explanation of market structure: the best I have seen in my 19 months of trading. Also very professionally produced video. Subscribed and looking forward to more of your content!

Wow!!! Thanks God and UAclips for displaying your video on my feed!! Finally full understanding of market structure. No more abstract analysis. Thank you so so much. I love it!!

Bro thank you so much for such a qualitative content for free! You understood how to create a relationship with potential customers, smart

You're a gem 💎 Matt! I love you so much and thanks for the great help for newbies trader

Loved it man, you teach beautifully really!
The fact that you ask questions while talking helps understand it a lot more deeply!
Thank you!

Bro this is so clear i've never thought to use liquidity grabs as a change of character! Great Job!

Honestly i wouldnt mind watching longer videos as long as the content is great. No need to rush it. The content is great.

Great class, congratulations! Thanks for sharing.

this video is amazing and can't wait to watch the second part.

This is gold brother! Learned a lot. Thank you!

This is gold man... You are doing a lot of small traders like me a huuuge favour...
Thank you so much

Great video explaining MS and CHOC, thanks :)

I have to say that my understanding of Market Structure alone has improved drastically the last few weeks, I had a look at the course itself and I am very interested, there any coupon available as the annual fee is best suited given the price, I understand the costing model, but it is expensive

Awesome content and clearly explained. Thank you

12:35 "invested interest in high being protected" that's the simplest and best explanation why trends exist. thank you.

Does the market structure strategy work for indices? if so, how many points would you suggest as a valid pullback to identify the swing low or high on NASDAQ and DOW? Thank you

really appreciate the information you have put out in this video, insane value people usually pay for stuff like this 😂🙏

This is a really good explanation well done sir , thankyou and keep up !

I've never structure explained so beautifully like this on UAclips. Priceless content. Sent an email to you buddy, yet to hear from you

You broke market structure down in away I haven't heard before. I will definitely be watching you videos man.
Thank you.

wow... all I can say is wow...
Trading made easy, honestly...
Thank You For The Clarity 🙏🏾

I think this is the most eloquent way of explaining this…. Gratitude for sharing ✨✨

This is an exceptional video - certainly one to recommend to people just starting their trading journey. Subbed.

This explanation is so detailed. I love it!

@19:44, this is why it is priceless to use Premium/Discount areas in your trading Range or look for OB & Liquidity downward.
Best presentation of Market Structure on YT. Simple, clear to the point. Thank you sir 👍

Your explanations are pretty simple and easy , i wanted to ask what does each candel colour denote , like there are 3 colours - blue , grey and white ?

Man you changed my life 🐐 thank you so much man I pray you have a successful career!

You helped me so much,
I am very grateful to you ❤️❤️
