This lesson introduces greater flexibility in trading alongside daily profile confirmation. The process is no longer restricted to executions only within the 08:00 candle. Valid opportunities can also occur beginning with the 01:00 candle and extending through the New York session.

Although this process expands opportunity, it does not guarantee immediate benefit. The beginner framework intentionally restricts executions to the 08:00 candle for a reason. For some traders, keeping focus on confirmation and execution strictly within that candle may remain the most effective option.

Previously, two seven-hour candles from the Asia and London sessions were required to provide context for the daily profile. At this stage only one is necessary.

The 18:00 candle is allowed to trade without participation, and how it prints begins the daily profiling process. The focus then shifts to how price must develop in order to either establish a position within the 01:00 candle or to wait for the 08:00 candle.

If the 18:00 candle forms an unestablished high or low and holds within the daily candle, no trades are taken within the 01:00 candle because the intraday reversal is not confirmed. The 01:00 candle close will act as a confirmation to the 18:00 candle reversal if it continues the move away.

If the 18:00 candle becomes volatile and establishes an intraday reversal that does not need to be traded back to, such as a manipulation of a relevant swing or a move at the invalidation point, the 1:00 candle can be traded. This profile must not be acted on lightly. The high or low of day set by the 18:00 candle should form at an area that, without reasonable doubt, must hold in the market if the bias is to play out.

If the 18:00 candle either ranges or makes a shallow opposing run, the 01:00 candle can run out the 18:00 range and then provide the entry sequence within the candle on the 15-minute or 30-minute timeframe. This is the ideal daily profile development for taking entries within the 01:00 candle.

Positioning within the 1:00 candle requires a higher standard of quality in both development and entry signatures. Further detail in the Entry Logic lesson will outline what to look for during the London session to validate or avoid entries.

Based on data, opportunities to position within the 01:00 candle are less common. As a result, focus will be placed on the 08:00 candle the majority of the time.

The first is the standard development, where the 18:00 candle holds the intraday reversal and the 01:00 candle continues away, confirming that the 08:00 candle is already in continuation.

The second occurs when the 18:00 candle establishes an intraday reversal that does not need to be traded back to, but the 01:00 candle prints with less direction. In this case the 08:00 candle can run out the 01:00 candle range and remain valid, as long as failure swings are not formed against the 18:00 intraday reversal point. This is displayed in the graphic below.

When the 18:00 candle forms either a shallow opposing run or a consolidation and the 01:00 candle establishes an intraday reversal, the 08:00 candle is assumed to be in continuation. This is the ideal daily profile because the high or low of day is formed with a higher timeframe reversal confirmation, and the 08:00 candle only requires a single continuation signature to align with the expansion.

An intraday reversal can occur during the 08:00 candle when both the 18:00 and 01:00 candles fail to form a reversal and instead become part of a consolidation or an opposing run within the daily candle. In this case, the 08:00 candle must establish the high or low of day and present the lower timeframe sequence of reversal confirmation followed by a continuation signature.

It is always important to note whether a divergence is present between market sessions, as it can change the dynamic of how the daily profiling process is approached. The clearest way to view this is on the 7-hour timeframe.

For example, a poorly developed 18:00 reversal profile on one pair may appear as a high quality 01:00 reversal on a correlated pair. All correlated pairs must be considered when assessing daily profiles within the established framework.
