Photon Trading has a unique approach to trading the FX markets, simplifying trading by focusing on raw price action and institutional order zones.

2 simple ways to validate STRONG S&D zones:
1️⃣ BOS - Look for what caused a shift in market structure.
2️⃣ FLIP - Look for where demand failed to do its job (create a high) and where supply took control (vice versa).
No reaction = no flip ❌
Once structure and order flow has shifted in your favour, it’s go time ✅

Struggling to know which SD zone is going to work? 🤷♂️
Fed up of the guessing game?
You must look for where price is reacting to zones to show where orders (money) are exchanging hands 🤝
Where that battle occurs is where either demand or supply is overpowering the other ⚔️
This is where we want to hop on to that winning horse and ride the next leg.

Confused as to how far you should push trades? 🥴
Don’t know when to enter counter-trend? 🤔
I hate writing captions…
…so hopefully you can figure out the answers to those questions by studying the annotated chart above 😁👍🏼
But if you can’t…
I’ve still got you! 👊🏼
Its all about understanding market structure 🤓
The 4H is bearish but is pulling back.
The M15 is bullish to facilitate the 4H pullback.
Price hits 4H supply in 4H discount, gives an M15 bearish CHoCH, you then enter short on M15 supply.
Where do you target? 🧐
It’s pro 4H trend but counter M15 trend…
🤔🤔 WHAT DO I DO??? 🥴😫
Calm down son, take a breath, relax yo-self
🧘♂️
The 4H can form a lower high here, but it’s in the discount & there’s unmitigated 4H supply above.
Probabilities are that the M15 will stay bullish to mitigate the 4H supply in premium 🎲
The reaction is just to provide liquidity to fuel the move further to the upside 💧
Okay, cool 😎
Take heavy partials at the M15 strong low / demand.
(Leave some volume in case price runs the 4H low).
But in this example, the M15 stays bullish and eventually mitigates 4H extreme supply.
Wait for M15 CHoCH…yes you’re shorting against M15 trend but this 4H supply zone HAS to hold IF the 4H trend is staying bearish.
Enter full margin and tell your mum she can now retire 📞👩🥂🏖
You can take some partials at the M15 low in the small possibility it holds…
But odds are it won’t, so hold must of your volume down to the 4H weak low.
BOOM ✅

Confused when to trade counter-trend or when the pro-trend move is about to start?
Applying the Premium vs Discount tool to your multi-timeframe analysis can really help to boost your strike rate and R:R.
Buy low, sell high right?

Intraday +25R long on EURUSD.
You don’t have to hold trades for weeks/days to bank serious returns.
You don’t have to wait for only pro HTF trend moves.
This was heavily counter 4H/D/W trend.
Once the M15 had a double BOS to the upside, this was solid confirmation that the 4H/D were pulling back.
Identify a high probability POI using my mechanical criteria to catch the M15 higher low with M1 precision.
Same pattern every time, rinse & repeat 🔁
Target weak M15 highs all the way up to 4H supply where the 4H is likely to form a lower high.

Are you often unsure whether it’s too early to be buying or too late to be selling?
The simple tools are usually the most effective.
Premium vs Discount falls in that category.
Use it to increase your strike rate for entries…
…and to boost your R:R by knowing how far you should be pushing trades.
Think of how a business would like to manage its stock.
They would buy it whilst the price is low & then sell it whilst the price is high.
The same goes for trading.
Longs are higher probability in discount prices.
Shorts are higher probability in premium prices.
But it goes without saying…
Price does NOT have to pull back to the discount to form a higher low…
…or the premium to form a lower high.

If your BELIEFS about trading are BALANCED, REALISTIC, and EMPOWERING, you will naturally have the greatest probability of success.
Humans tend to OVERestimate what they can achieve in just a few MONTHS…
…and massively UNDERestimate what they can achieve in just a few YEARS.
🧠👨🏻⚕️💉You wouldn’t watch a course on brain surgery & expect to operate on a patient the next day…
✈️ 👨✈️ Or read a book on how to be a pilot and then fly a jumbo jet?
So don’t expect the same with trading.
Crash course = crash landing 💥🤕
In Photon, the very FIRST thing I help you do is dissolve & crush any trading fantasies that you may have…
Why?
Because that allows you to think, plan, and act with a POISED mind 🧘♂️
Not a POISONED mind of emotions 🥴
That’s why I lay out a detailed 12 month roadmap to align your expectations on your journey that actually INCREASES your probability of achieving success as QUICKLY as possible.
Trust the process.

MAPPING COMPLEX SWING STRUCTURE 👇🏼
Swing high = highest point that broke the swing low.
Swing low = lowest point that broke the swing high.
Sometimes it can be a bit tricky in examples like this where price breaks the swing high in a bearish trend, but fails to CLOSE above it, therefore no bullish BOS.
Price then continues the bearish trend by breaking & closing below the swing low to form a lower low.
Now the new swing LOWER high is actually HIGHER than the previous lower high (blue range) 🤯
= liquidty grab -> continuation of bearish order flow 😎
Perfect example of why I wait for a candle body close to confirm a swing BOS ✅
Keep it mechanical ⚙️
Consistent actions = consistent results
💬 Do you wait for a candle close for BOS?

FRACTAL ORDER FLOW:
A run on a HTF is a trend on a LTF…
Okay, cool…how do I put that knowledge to use?
Pick 3 ‘evenly’ spaced timeframes.
Example: 4H / M15 / M1
After a 4H BOS, we expect a pullback.
Wait for the M15 to switch bearish to trade the 4H pullback.
Once the M15 switches bullish, the 4H pullback is now likely finished & the 4H higher low has formed.
Don’t jump in straight away…
…wait for the M15 to pull back to buy the M15 higher low.
The M1 is bearish whilst the M15 is pulling back, once it switches bullish…
…now all three timeframes are in sync…
…we can trade the pro-trend swing run targeting the weak 4H swing high.
Bank a billion R 💰
Order your lambo 🚙
Tell your mum she can retire early 🍾
