Also: multi-timeframe analysis
The 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.

BOS, MSS, displacement and dealing range
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.
- Daily biasThe direction the daily suggests for today: which pool is the magnet, and whether we sit in premium or discount.
