FU SIGNALS 10 DAY MENTORSHIP

INSTITUTIONAL CANDLE CHECKLIST

1. First thing to ask yourself when looking at an institutional candle,


does it take liquidity? If a IC clears a pool of liquidity such as an equal
high/low or a trendline, then thats the first confirmation we have that
our institutional candle is valid.

2. Is the institutional candle big enough? the institutional candle or FU


candle is usually bigger than the other candles as this indicates Smart
Money was present in the market at that certain Time and they were
going for a liquidity hunt.

Institutional candles such as the one below aren't that great as even though it
does clear liqudity and we have nice bullish movement after it, it's too small.

On the other hand an institutional candle that looks like the one below is much
1
higher probable as it has a nice wick clearing liquidity with a decent sized
institutional candle and then gets engulfed with a series of strong bearish
candles after it.

3. Another important question you have to ask yourself is does the


institutional candle line up with our structure? Taking a trade when our
IC is following our market structure has a much more high probability
as we are looking to continue our downward or upward trend, rather
than looking for a reversal if our IC was going against the structure.

As you can see here we had a nice looking IC but as you can see it isnt smart for
us to try and buy EURUSD from that candle specifically based off the bearish
structure of the market.

4.Be mindful of the current fundamentals and economics happening in
the world at the current moment, you have to be aware of the
fundamentals on that current pair your looking at. Remember
fundamentals are always one step ahead of Technicals, so its always
good to be watching news events unfolding around the world , and
reading fundamental analysis articles online as usually they give you
tell tale hints about what could happen before it unfolds in front of you
in the form of Price Action on the charts.
EG: never try buy USDXXX pairs if a certain news event is happening and the
prediction will be bearish sometimes common sense is all thats needed in the
markets sometimes.

5. Does the open or 50% of your institutional candle line up with your
FIB tool? the fibonnaci tool isn't a magic tool it's just a tool to
determine where you can expect the banks to come back to and sell or
buy at a premium or discounted price. once the IC lines up with a Fib
level such as the 0.71 or .886 level it gives us more confirmation that
the banks will come back down to that level then move price our
direction.

3
To use your Fib efficiently drag it from the low that the IC is on to the most
recent high.

6. Is your institutional candle lying in a demand or supply zone? this


once again increases our odds that price will push up from these areas.

Supply and demand zones are observable areas on a forex chart where
price has approached many times in the past. Unlike lines of support
and resistance, these resemble zones more closely than precise lines.

7. Is there a small imbalance above or below your specific IC , this is


important in giving you extra confidence that price will come back down
to fill in that IPA before heading off as all imbalances and gaps are
filled in the market due to algorithms. To check this usually you will
have to scale down to a smaller timeframe such as the 15min to check.

4
Price came down and filled in our imbalance just above our IC and gave us a nice
reaction it then decided it still wanted to medigate out of our institutional candle
came down once again and flew to the upside.
