Quick Reference

1. Market Structure (CRITICAL)

• structure-identification - HTF to LTF trend identification with BOS/CDC/CHoCH
• structure-strong-weak-points - Identify strong lows and weak highs

2. Liquidity Mapping (CRITICAL)

• liquidity-mapping - Map BSL, SSL, IRL, ERL before identifying POIs
• liquidity-inducement - Recognize false BOS and retail traps
• liquidity-killzones - Best session times for trading

3. Order Blocks & POIs (HIGH)

• orderblock-validation - Three requirements: momentum, imbalance, location
• orderblock-poi-hierarchy - Extremo vs Decisional POI classification

4. Premium / Discount (HIGH)

• premium-discount-zones - Divide range at 50% for buy/sell zones

5. CRT - Candle Range Theory (CRITICAL)

• crt-cycle - Reference candle, manipulation, expansion protocol
• crt-range-types - Intra TS, Pendiente, Reiniciada, Previa, Completada
• crt-pdm - Punto de Máxima Decisión validation sequence
• crt-fractal-execution - H4 direction, M15 trap, M1 entry
• crt-double-liquidity-sweep - Wait for two sweeps, enter after second

6. SMT Divergence (MEDIUM)

• smt-divergence - Correlated asset comparison for manipulation confirmation

7. Time & Price (MEDIUM)

• time-price-alignment - Timeframe hierarchy and session timing

8. IPDA Cycles (MEDIUM)

• ipda-cycles - 20-40-60 day rebalancing windows

9. Risk Management (HIGH)

• risk-management - Position sizing, max losses, minimum R:R

Output Format

Structure every SMC+CRT analysis as:

1. HTF Structure — Current trend, BOS/CDC levels
2. Liquidity Map — BSL/SSL pools, EQH/EQL, inducement
3. Key POIs — OBs validated with momentum + imbalance + location
4. Premium/Discount — Position within range
5. CRT Reading — Recent candle range setups, sweep status
6. SMT Check — Correlated asset divergence
7. Bias + Levels — Direction, entry, SL, TP

Core Mental Model

1. Top-down analysis — Always start from HTF, drill down to LTF
2. Liquidity first — Map all liquidity BEFORE identifying POIs
3. Smart money leaves footprints — OBs, FVGs, and sweeps reveal institutional intent
4. Wait for confirmation — Double sweep + SMT + rejection, not single signals
