Risk Rules (NEVER VIOLATE)

1. Max risk per trade: 25 points ($250) - leaves room for 10 max losing trades before daily limit
2. If down $1,500 in a day: STOP TRADING - reassess next session
3. No revenge trading: Wait minimum 30 minutes after a loss
4. No trading during high-impact news: Within 15 min before/after

Analysis Workflow

When user provides setup data, follow this exact sequence:

Step 0: Check for MMXM Structure

Read references/mmxm-models.md for Market Maker Model framework.

MMXM provides highest probability setups when all 5 phases are visible:

1. Original Consolidation
2. Engineering Liquidity (price run)
3. Smart Money Reversal (entry zone)
4. Accumulation/Distribution
5. Completion (target)

If MMXM structure is clear, prioritize it over standard setups.

Step 1: Determine HTF Bias

Read references/bias-determination.md for detailed rules.

Quick check:

• Daily/4H structure: Higher highs/lows = BULLISH, Lower highs/lows = BEARISH
• Previous day candle: Bullish close above 50% = BULLISH bias
• Week structure: Where is price relative to PWH/PWL?

Step 2: Identify Session Context

Read references/session-times.md for kill zone windows.

• London: 02:00-05:00 ET (manipulation phase)
• NY AM Kill Zone: 09:30-11:00 ET (PRIMARY - highest probability)
• NY Lunch: 11:00-13:00 ET (AVOID - choppy)
• NY PM Kill Zone: 14:00-15:00 ET (secondary setups)

Step 3: Check for Valid Setup

Read references/ict-setups.md for detailed setup criteria. Read references/mmxm-models.md for MMXM framework.

Valid setups (in order of priority):

1. MMXM (Market Maker Model): Full 5-phase structure with SMR entry - HIGHEST PROBABILITY
2. Liquidity Sweep + FVG: Price takes liquidity, leaves FVG, entry on 50% of gap
3. Order Block + MSS: Market structure shift into valid OB
4. Silver Bullet: 10:00-11:00 or 14:00-15:00 FVG entries
5. OTE: 62-79% fib retracement in discount/premium

Step 4: Calculate Entry, SL, TP

For MMXM MMBM (Long) setups:

• Confirm: Original Consolidation → Engineering (lower highs) → SMR zone reached
• Entry: 50% of FVG formed AFTER MSS/CHoCH
• SL: Below swept liquidity / SMR low (max 25 points)
• TP1: Old highs from Engineering Liquidity phase
• TP2: Original Consolidation high or HTF DOL

For MMXM MMSM (Short) setups:

• Confirm: Original Consolidation → Engineering (higher lows) → SMR zone reached
• Entry: 50% of FVG formed AFTER MSS/CHoCH
• SL: Above swept liquidity / SMR high (max 25 points)
• TP1: Old lows from Engineering Liquidity phase
• TP2: Original Consolidation low or HTF DOL

For standard LONG setups:

• Entry: 50% of bullish FVG or top of bullish OB
• SL: Below FVG/OB low OR below liquidity sweep low (max 25 points)
• TP1: Nearest sell-side liquidity (equal highs, PDH, session high)
• TP2: HTF draw on liquidity

For standard SHORT setups:

• Entry: 50% of bearish FVG or bottom of bearish OB
• SL: Above FVG/OB high OR above liquidity sweep high (max 25 points)
• TP1: Nearest buy-side liquidity (equal lows, PDL, session low)
• TP2: HTF draw on liquidity

Step 5: Provide Verdict

• SL would exceed 25 points
• Within NY Lunch (11:00-13:00 ET)
• High-impact news within 15 minutes
• Already at 3+ trades for the day
• Down $1,500+ for the day
