Replay: 5 structure shifts

Walk through five MSS events candle-by-candle.

15 min · Beginner

What you'll learn

  • Run a pause-predict-reveal replay routine on structure shifts
  • Judge whether a break of the protected swing is confirmed or false
  • Grade your decisions on process rather than outcome

Key takeaways

  • Replay trains live reading by removing hindsight.
  • A wick through the protected swing, or a marginal close reclaimed immediately, is not a confirmed shift.
  • A close beyond the swing with volume and follow-through is a confirmed shift; the entry still waits for new structure.
  • Lower-timeframe shifts that agree with the higher timeframe are the highest-quality context.
  • Grade each rep on process, not on whether it made money.

Glossary

  • Replay — Advancing a historical chart one candle at a time with future candles hidden to practice live decisions.
  • Process grade — Scoring a trade on whether you followed your rules, separate from whether it made money.
  • Stop run — A brief push beyond an obvious swing that triggers resting stops and then reverses.
