Defining The Daily Range

"This is the definitive teaching so that way we can go through the rest of the lessons for April day trading this is the only one you'll ever need to refer to"

Definition

"This lesson is defining the daily range"

"If it's going to be a high probability trade scenario that we're going to be looking for it stands the reason we have to start with the same reference point that IPDA itself the interbank price delivery algorithm uses in referencing time"

"We're going to have to use the same thing that IPDA does when we view price in the element of time of day"

Retail vs Interbank 24-Hour Trading Day

Retail Trading Day

"The retail version of the 24 hour trading day is not what we focus on but I want to highlight the contrast between the two because this is what you see in a typical mt4 platform"

"When we see these retail delineations and folks have these on your charts that's pretty much a classic Telltale sign they have no idea what they're doing and they'll frame the day based on these vertical lines"

Interbank Trading Day

"The interbank 24-hour IPDA trading day is very different"

"What we're going to show now is how a interbank Trader views price in relative terms to time"

Algorithmic Pattern Related To Time

"You can see that there are very very specific time elements being shown here not only are we blending elements of IPDA data ranges and PD array Matrix we're looking at institutional order flow but now we have an element of time that it gets so precise it's hard to deny how anyone looking at this chart can see there's an algorithmic pattern and it's related to time"
