The References We Trade

Every prior-day reference is a line — support or resistance. Which side price opens decides whether you trade with the trend (continuation) or fade a change in behavior. The read is identical across all of them; only the level changes.

RESISTANCEOpen below → short (continuation) · Open above → long (change)

Rally HighDowntrend day — the afternoon rally that finds resistance and continues lower.
Selling TailSingle prints on top of the profile — aggressive sellers rejecting a higher price.
Down-Spike topThe top of a late down-spike acts as resistance until price proves otherwise.
Single prints aboveSingle TPOs sitting above price — a level that caps and gets revisited / repaired.

SUPPORTOpen above → long (continuation) · Open below → short (change)

Pullback LowUptrend day — the pullback low that holds and continues higher.
Buying TailSingle prints on the bottom of the profile — aggressive buyers rejecting a lower price.
Up-Spike bottomThe bottom of a late up-spike acts as support until price proves otherwise.
Single prints belowSingle TPOs sitting below price — a level that supports and gets revisited / repaired.

How the Open Decides — Two Reads, Any Reference

CONTINUATION

Price respects the level

With the trend

Resistance refs: Open below the level → short. The level caps; sell the rejection.
Support refs: Open above the level → long. The level holds; buy the hold.
Entry: Run the entry sequence below — look-above-and-fail at resistance, look-below-and-fail at support — then enter on the inversed excess gap.
Stop / target: Stop beyond the inversed excess gap · target the next internal level at ≥ 2R.

BEHAVIORAL CHANGE

Price breaks the level

Against the prior trend

Resistance refs: Open above the level → long. Acceptance above resistance = character change.
Support refs: Open below the level → short. Acceptance below support = character change.
Entry: Same entry sequence, following the level: look-above-and-fail at a resistance ref, look-below-and-fail at a support ref. Don't chase acceptance — wait for the failed close.
Stop / target: Stop beyond the inversed excess gap · target the next internal level at ≥ 2R.

The Entry Sequence · mandatory

Every entry runs this exact sequence. It follows the level, not the trade direction — resistance is always look-above-and-fail, support is always look-below-and-fail.

RESISTANCE"Look above and fail"

1
TPO probes above, closes below. A TPO pokes above the level but its close prints back below it — the failed look-above.
2
Next TPO probes back in with aggression. The following TPO drives back into the level aggressively, leaving an excess gap on the 1-minute.
3
The excess gap gets inversed. Price trades back through the gap, inversing it.
4
Footprint check (recommended). Read the 1-min footprint for trapped participants above the level — extra granular confirmation.
5
Enter once the gap is inversed. Stop beyond the inversed excess gap; target the next internal level at ≥ 2R.

SUPPORT"Look below and fail"

1
TPO probes below, closes above. A TPO pokes below the level but its close prints back above it — the failed look-below.
2
Next TPO probes back in with aggression. The following TPO drives back into the level aggressively, leaving an excess gap on the 1-minute.
3
The excess gap gets inversed. Price trades back through the gap, inversing it.
4
Footprint check (recommended). Read the 1-min footprint for trapped participants below the level — extra granular confirmation.
5
Enter once the gap is inversed. Stop beyond the inversed excess gap; target the next internal level at ≥ 2R.

Spike Rules — the Open is the Verdict

A spike is a late probe that's too late to confirm intraday. Next session's open delivers the verdict. The spike extreme is your level.

Spike	Open below	Open within	Open above	Level
Up-Spike	Negative — short the rejected probe	Acceptance — rally intact	Auction unfinished — not high enough	Bottom = support
Down-Spike	Auction unfinished — not low enough	Acceptance — break intact	Positive — long the rejected probe	Top = resistance

Shared Execution Rules

Look-and-fail (mandatory)At resistance: a TPO probes above the level and closes below it. At support: a TPO probes below and closes above. The failed close is the first condition — no entry without it.
Aggressive re-probeThe next TPO drives back into the level with aggression, leaving an excess gap on the 1-minute chart.
Inversed excess gap = entryWait for that excess gap to get inversed. The inversion is the trigger — enter then, not before.
Footprint (recommended)Use a 1-minute footprint chart alongside to read trapped participants in granular detail. Strongly suggested, not blocking.
StopBeyond the inversed excess gap — that's the look-above / look-below-and-fail extreme.
TargetThe nearest internal high / low sitting at ≥ 2R from entry. 2R is the floor, never the goal.
Hard filterIf stop-to-target is below 2.0R, there is no trade. The app blocks the save.
ConfirmationSingle prints, excess, buying tails, selling tails — these tell you the level is holding or failing.
Repair / revisitSingle prints and anomalies tend to get repaired. Trade toward unrepaired prints, and respect them as a level when price returns.

Market Profile Playbook

The reference manual behind the system — the auction concepts, structural reads, and trade rules this journal is built on. Everything the setups assume, defined in one place.

Balance

Trading ranges, brackets, congestion. Price is containing trade — buyers and sellers agree on value. "Paradise" for mean-reversion. The bigger opportunity comes when price leaves balance.

Excess

The end of one auction and the start of another — visible as buying / selling tails or gaps. It completes an auction and marks meaningful change. Both pillars signal change, or the potential for it.

No entries match that search.

The 2R Mind

Going for 2R+ feels uncomfortable because most trades won't reach target. The discomfort is normal — the math isn't. Here's the proof you return to whenever your hand drifts toward the exit.

3.5

winners per 10 trades

is all you need to break even at 2R. You can be wrong more than 6 times out of 10 and still finish ahead.

Reward	Breakeven WR	Wins / 10
1.0R	50.0%	5.0
1.5R	40.0%	4.0
2.0R	33.3%	3.5
2.5R	28.6%	2.9
3.0R	25.0%	2.5
4.0R	20.0%	2.0

Your Edge at 2R · per 10 trades

Win rate	Wins / 10	Net R / 10	Verdict
30%	3	−0.6R	Below the line
35%	3.5	+0.5R	Profitable
40%	4	+2.0R	Profitable
50%	5	+5.0R	Strong
60%	6	+8.0R	Excellent

At a 40% win rate — losing six of every ten — the 2R system still returns +2R per ten trades. Six red tickets, and you still win.

Reread Before Every Session

01

"I only need 3.5 out of 10. I can be wrong more than half the time."

02

"My job is to protect the 2R floor and let winners reach target."

03

"A loss that followed the rules is a win for my process."

Holding to Target

Decide before you're inSet the bracket at entry. The decision to hold was made before emotion arrived.

Let it breatheA winner pulling back toward entry is normal. Your stop, not your nerves, defines the loss.

No early exitsBanking +1R to dodge a pullback is how you guarantee the math never works for you.

Cutting is expensiveExit at +1R habitually and you'd need a 50% win rate just to tread water.

Process over outcomeA rule-perfect loss is a good trade. A rule-broken win is a bad one.

Streaks are normalAt 40% win rate, four losses in a row happens often. It's the cost of business, not a signal to quit.

Tomorrow's Setup — from your read

If today was…	Reference & watch	Setups in play
Rally high / selling tail / single prints above	Resistance levels. Watch the open vs. them.	Open below → SHORT cont · Open above → LONG change (wait for fail-back)
Pullback low / buying tail / single prints below	Support levels. Watch the open vs. them.	Open above → LONG cont · Open below → SHORT change (wait for fail-back)
Up-spike / down-spike left late	Spike extreme is the level. Open delivers the verdict.	Apply spike rules — open below/within/above the spike.
Poor / unsecured high or low	Auction likely revisits the poor extreme.	Lean to continuation toward it. Be patient for the retest.
Balance / rotation	No clean directional reference to anchor.	Stand aside on this system, or fade balance extremes.
