Continuation
Alignment + targetLook for continuation after a pullback or trapped positioning, with room for the move to develop.
Watch Continuation TradesTHE MTF SYSTEM
From market context to a clear decision.
The MTF System is a discretionary multi-timeframe market structure framework focused on alignment, timing and trapped positioning. It connects the wider market to the setup and entry, helping you decide which opportunity to consider, when to act and when to pass.
THE THREE PLAYS
Three plays. Three steps.
Continuation, Parabolic Expansion and Reversal. Each is assessed through the same framework: MTF Context, 9-1-5 Structure and Open Box / Execution.
Watch Continuation TradesParabolic Expansion
Compression + acceptanceLook for expansion after compression and imbalance, supported by acceptance.
Watch Parabolic TradesReversal
Exhaustion + rejectionLook for exhaustion, failed continuation or structural breakdown, with confirmation of a change in control.
Watch Reversal TradesTHE THREE STEPS
Context. Structure. Execution.
Build the thesis, assess the developing setup, then confirm and manage the trade.
MTF Context
Thesis Generation
Read monthly, weekly and daily structure. Identify the potential play, key levels and the conditions that would support or invalidate your thesis.
9-1-5 Structure
Session Screening
Assess how Asia, London and New York develop around key reference levels. Check whether the emerging setup supports your thesis and which side of the market is vulnerable.
Open Box / Execution
Entry Screening + Trade Management
Use Open Box to assess timing, confirmation and risk. Decide whether to enter or pass, then manage the position against your stop, targets and exit conditions.
Trapped positioning informs all three steps: the thesis, the developing setup and execution. A trap can provide the final entry trigger; the pattern depends on the play and conditions.
Mechanical in preparation. Discretionary in execution.
Prepare the scenarios and reference levels, then judge whether context, structure, timing and positioning support the trade. Passing is part of the process.
The MTF System is my integrated methodology, shaped by trading experience and influences including Stacey Burke and James Dalton.
MTF Context: assess the play.
Read the higher-timeframe conditions to distinguish continuation, parabolic expansion and reversal. Each asks a different question of the market.
View full sizeSetup: read the session structure.
Read the relationship between Asia, London and New York. Session structure helps assess whether the developing situation supports the chosen play.
View full sizeExecution: frame the session with Open Box.
Use the opening range to frame the session. Breakout, retest, expansion and rejection have different implications; a range can mean doing nothing.
View full sizeTrap / entry confirmation
These examples show a trap as the final trigger within execution. Assess it alongside the prepared setup, timing and confirmation; not every trade requires the same trap pattern.

See how the three steps combine.
This example brings continuation context, a parabolic session setup and an Open Box expansion together. The three cards describe successive layers of one trade.

DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
Review the decision, not only the result.
Review belongs to the wider trading system and your development, separate from the three-step trading framework.
Record the context, setup, entry, management and outcome. Compare the trade with your plan: what did you follow, what did you miss, and what needs refining?
A winning trade can contain poor decisions. A losing trade can follow the plan. The journal helps you separate execution quality from the outcome, identify recurring patterns and refine your personal Playbook.

- Connect higher-timeframe context to a defined play.
- Define the conditions you need before acting.
- Write a personal playbook that guides your routine.
- Review your decisions against your plan.
