From the same chapter
- BOSA swing break WITH the trend: it confirms continuation, not a turn.
- MSSA break AGAINST the trend after a liquidity sweep. It is the number-one confirmation in almost every MCI model.
- Displacement2–3 full-bodied candles that break structure and leave an FVG. The footprint of institutional size stepping in.
- Dealing rangeThe range between the last relevant high and low. Its 50% splits it into premium and discount.
- EquilibriumThe midpoint of the dealing range. Above it you are expensive, below it cheap.
- PremiumThe upper half of the range: the zone where you only look for SELLS.
- DiscountThe lower half of the range: the zone where you only look for BUYS.
- Top-downThe daily sets the magnet and the bias, the 1H the array on the way, the 15m the sweep, the 5m the execution. Never the other way round.
