01 / CONTEXT
A better entry starts with a bigger picture.
Begin with daily structure and a possible destination for price. Use the weekly open as a reference, then look left for areas that fit your directional scenario. Move to a lower time frame once that context is clear.
- Describe the daily direction and identify a plausible objective.
- Prepare two paths: continuation through the objective, or a retracement if price fails to close beyond it.
- Look for a separate lower time frame setup. A clear direction does not require you to take a trade.
On your chart
Choose a historical daily chart. Mark the weekly open and one possible objective. Write down what would make you reconsider the scenario.

before you begin
A few fair questions.
Who is this for?
Traders who know basic candlesticks and want a more structured way to study price action. Start with daily context, then connect liquidity, market structure, and execution concepts.
Is this a signal service or a funded account?
Neither. The Prop Trader is presented here as a trading education and study resource. This preview does not provide live trade calls, brokerage services, or funded accounts.
What can I access for free?
The lesson preview on this page is free to explore, with no account or card required. It includes seventeen concepts, step-by-step observations, and chart-review exercises. Full library access is not available through this page yet.
How should I use the lessons?
Start with the daily chart and work through the concepts in order. Use historical charts for the exercises, record an alternative scenario, and compare your reasoning with what price actually did. Each concept supports a wider process; it is not a standalone entry instruction.
