THE STRUCTURED TRADER

The markets are uncertain. Your process shouldn't be.

The Structured Trader is a process for establishing directional bias and defining midpoint rebalancing levels — helping you determine where you want price to be and the conditions you're waiting for before you participate.

What happens when every decision begins with the market already moving?

For many traders, the search for a trade begins the moment they open their charts.

Is price Going Up or Down?

Should I Be Buying or selling?

Where's The opportunity?

Trying to analyse the market, determine direction and make trading decisions in real time is difficult — and can quickly leave a trader feeling uncertain, confused and frustrated when those decisions don't work out.

But what if much of that decision-making had already taken place?

Imagine beginning the trading week with your analysis already completed — while the market was closed.

How different would trading feel if you weren't trying to figure it all out while the price was moving?

A directional bias has been established.
Market midpoint rebalancing levels are identified.
You understand where you are waiting for price to be and the conditions that need to be present before you consider participating.
When the market opens, there is no urgency to find a trade.
You’re simply observing.
Waiting to see whether price reaches the levels you’ve defined and whether the conditions you require are present.
If they are, you know what you’re looking for.
If they’re not, you wait.

Not because you know what the market is going to do.

Because you know what you’re going to do.

Before you look for the trade, know where you want to find it.

A trading setup can make perfect sense on the chart you're looking at and still be appearing at the wrong place or time within the larger market picture.

Context matters

A bullish setup may appear perfectly valid — while price is approaching a higher-timeframe level where the larger structure suggests something very different.
It might not be the setup

The setup wasn’t necessarily the problem.
The location and timing may have been.
Define the opportunity

Before looking for an entry, the process helps establish where you want to participate, the market conditions surrounding that area, and what needs to be present before you begin looking for a trade.
Then the entry becomes relevant

Only then does the entry become relevant.

Already have a setup?

If you already have a setup you understand, trust and like to trade, I’m not asking you to throw it away. Structured Trader also has a defined process for trade entries, and we’ll show you how we approach the actual trade as well.

Keep it.

Your existing setup doesn’t need to change. Structured Trader gives it the location, timing and context it needs.

Your setup

Whether you trade candlestick formations, support and resistance, chart patterns, Elliott Wave, Fibonacci or something completely different isn’t really the point.

Where + when

Structured Trader helps establish where and when you want to be looking for that opportunity in the first place.

Your plan

Then you can apply your setup, your plan and your style.

A setup with purpose

You’re no longer asking the setup to make every decision for you.

You’re giving your setup a place, a context and a purpose.

Levels that tell you where to look.

Mathematical midpoint levels are drawn from previous market movement. They don’t tell you to buy or sell. They show you where to start paying attention.
