The key takeaways from the document are that the Daily Pip Cycle strategy aims to grab liquidity during periods of equilibrium in the market by entering on breaks of Asian session highs and lows during peak London session hours.

The Daily Pip Cycle strategy is based on liquidity. It aims to enter trades on reversals at the break of Asian session highs or lows in order to grab liquidity from buyers or sellers.

For the Daily Pip Cycle strategy to work best, the market needs to be ranging during the Asian session to create periods of equilibrium between buyers and sellers. A ranging Asian session provides the necessary liquidity for the strategy to identify reversal entries.

THE DAILY PIP CYCLE

Step by step guide


Introduction

First thing, be sure to have learnt the order block


strategy before jumping to this strategy. Without
the foundation you will struggle.

Take your time understanding the concept and


acknowledge that this is an edge and every edge
will have failed set ups. However, understanding
that an edge is for long term profitability.

So why use this strategy?


This is ideal for those who are looking to trade
intraday set ups during London session.

The entry criteria no different to our order block


strategy, you simply need to understand the why.
The cycle
Below is the set up in a very basic visual
representation

So lets try and understand the theory and the


reasons why this happens
The Theory

The theory is based on the liqudity. Simple as that.


We all know by now that liquidity is what fuels the
market and this strategy is based on grabbing
liquidity and running.

So, whats the backstory?


During the Asian it is believed to be a 'ranging' or
'consolidating market'
Now what do we know about consolidating
markets and how the markets function?
Ranging markets = Equilibrium between buyers and
sellers. Everyones happy.
Will this last?
Of course not mate!

So, the idea is to grab liquidity from either the


sellers of buyers and the reversing. Our entry is
that reversal.

Make sense so far?


The Theory

So what is ideal for this strategy to work?


You need a ranging market during the Asian
session.
By now you all should able to distinguish between a
ranging market and a trending market.
why do you want a ranging market?
Because of the equilibrium in the market, we need
that liqudity hunt. If market is trending, this not
only make liquidity grabs unclear but it lowers the
probability as there is no question of institutions
looking for higher or lower prices as the trending
markets will already show its hand and intentions.
You may use this on trending markets but bare in
the mind the win rate and probability.
The Edge: Step 1

Now, once London opens, this is when you have to


be ready. Why during London?
The first 2-3 hours is the most liquid time in the
markets and if this set up was to play out it will do
so during this session.

So how do you set it up?

On any time frame you are comfortable with, mark


our the asian range high and low and set an alert.
The Edge: Step 2

Great, you have set your alerts. Now we wait for a


break of either the high or the low.

Once you alert goes off, it is time for getting an


entry now.
So in terms of entry, how do we do it?
It is the same entry patterns either pattern one or 2
and you can enter at entry type 1 or 2, the choice is
yours and to find what you prefer.
The Edge: Step 3
Wait for our two rule entry to show. Then you
know what to do next. Trade without fear and with
full confidence in the edge.

In terms of timeframes, this is a personal


preference as to which time frame you wish to get
an entry from. Never forget the fractal nature of
the market. It will all replicate.
The Edge: Step 3 Continued
Targets where do you put it?
Simple, for the asian range high or low depending
on if you are buying or selling.

Alternatively you can manage the trade as you see


fit. If this is pro trend, my be wise to take partials
and leave a little volume to run. Or if its counter set
a hard TP. But the choice is yours how you manage
the trade not mine.
The key facts

Remember this is an edge, it will have losing runs.


You need to trust the edge for longevity.
Remember the theory and logic behind everything
you do. Never forget that. No logic no trade.
Market runs on liquidity and that is exactly what this
edge is built on. We are essentially entering on an LG.
When we break the asian range, do we need to react
off an OB? - No you do not. Doesn't always do this. If
you see our entry pattern take it with confidence. If it
reacts to an OB this is simply a confluence for you at
this point.
What pairs?
This is up to you. Generally GBP, EUR and USD pairs
work well. Stick to majors purely for the liquidity
Trust the process and back test over and over till you
are confident. I cannot give you confidence, this what
you have to practice and develop.
High probability = When asian range is ranging.
When asian range is trending - probability is low but
it's up to you to test to see what you prefer.
US session - this is either a reversal or continuation of
London. We will never know. Its up to you if you want
to hold for TP or close at US session.
Enjoy the
process and
love the
