The Trading Dictionary: Acronyms You Must Know
A consolidated glossary of all the shorthand the teacher uses on charts and in posts: structural terms (BOS, BOMS, CHoCH, MS, MSB, MSS), liquidity terms (BSL, SSL, EQH, EQL, PSH, PSL, RH, RL, SH, SL, SFP, SLH), block types (OB, BB, HOB, NOB, BOB, PHOB, PBB, POB, DBB, WBB), gap/fib terms (FVG, DFVG, GP, Fibs), and trading terms (BE, BO, CMP, MO, LO, RR, TP, TF, ATH, ATL).
The Timeframe Taxonomy: Micro, LTF, MTF, HTF
The teacher's specific timeframe ranges (Micro ≤5m, LTF 15m–2H, MTF 2H–12H, HTF 12H+), why higher timeframes carry more institutional liquidity, and how to use multiple timeframes in confluence. Includes the unusual TFs the teacher uses as 'secret weapons' (e.g. 23H, 288m, 37D).
The Game Being Played: Algorithms, Whales, and Why Retail Loses
The worldview that underpins everything that follows: 80%+ of volume is algorithmic, markets are choreographed by market makers who hunt liquidity, retail TA and indicators are designed for losing, and the only path to consistency is to play alongside whales rather than the herd. Includes the contrarian mindset, narrative awareness, and the framing of 'Find > Wait > Enter > Win'.
News, FUD, FOMO, and Engineered Narratives
How 'news' is actually a tool whales use to justify pre-planned moves: FUD at bottoms to scare retail out, FOMO at tops to lure them in, FOMC and CPI as volatility catalysts, and 'hacks' as cover stories for flushes into HTF demand. Students learn to read news as confirmation of TA, not as a cause.
What to Learn (and What to Ignore)
A roadmap of the skills that actually matter (liquidity, fibs, market structure, key levels, FVGs/OBs, distribution/accumulation, premium/discount) and the distractions to discard (lagging indicators, retail patterns, naming candlesticks, paid courses, free YouTube gurus). Sets the curriculum for the rest of the course.
