This module introduces the foundational principles of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and how they differ from traditional technical analysis. You'll explore the dynamics between smart money (institutional traders) and retail money, and understand how market manipulation occurs through accumulation and distribution phases. By the end of this module, you'll gain a clear understanding of how liquidity drives market movements and the critical role of smart money in shaping price action.

Curriculum:

• Market Overview: Traditional Technical Analysis vs. Smart Money Concepts
• Understanding Market Manipulation: Smart Money vs. Retail Money
• Accumulation, Distribution, and Manipulation Phases
• The Role of Liquidity in Market Movements
• Chart Workout Drills:
  • Identify phases of accumulation and distribution on historical charts.
  • Observe examples of market manipulation.

n this module, you will dive deep into the market structure by learning to read price action through candle formation, swing highs and lows, and order flow. You'll discover how the market structure evolves over time, and how to identify key changes such as the Break of Structure (BOS) and Continuation of Structure (COS). The module also introduces top-down analysis, a crucial technique for analyzing market trends across different timeframes. This foundational knowledge is essential for applying Smart Money Concepts effectively in real-world trading.

Curriculum:

• Understanding Candle Formation: OHLC
• Swing Highs and Lows
• Market Structure: Order Flow, Break of Structure (BOS), Continuation of Structure (COS)
• Top-Down Analysis: Reading Market Structure Across Timeframes
• Chart Workout Drills:
  • Conduct a top-down analysis on NEPSE charts.
  • Identify and label market structure changes in different timeframes.

Price Delivery is a key concept in SMC, focusing on how price moves in a fractal and predictable manner across different timeframes. This module explains the concepts of premium and discount zones within price swings and how these zones can be used to identify high-probability trading opportunities. You'll also learn to recognize the fractal nature of price, which helps in anticipating market movements regardless of the timeframe you are analyzing. Practical examples and exercises will reinforce your understanding and ability to apply these concepts in your trading.

Curriculum:

• The Fractal Nature of Price Movements
• Concept of Premium and Discount Zones
• Applying Price Delivery Concepts Across Timeframes
• Chart Workout Drills:
  • Mark premium and discount zones across various timeframes.
  • Observe fractal patterns and their implications on different charts.

Understanding Institutional Reference Points (IRPs) and liquidity is vital for traders aiming to trade alongside smart money. This module covers key IRPs such as Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and liquidity pools, explaining how these areas act as magnets for price and how institutions use them to their advantage. You'll also learn about different types of liquidity and how to identify buy-side and sell-side liquidity pools. This knowledge will enable you to predict potential market moves based on where smart money is likely to enter or exit the market.

Curriculum:

• Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), and Liquidity Pools
• Types of Liquidity: Buy-Side and Sell-Side
• Understanding Equilibrium in Price Ranges
• Institutional Reference Points: PD Arrays
• Chart Workout Drills:
  • Identify and mark institutional reference points on your charts.
  • Track liquidity hunts and their impact on price action.

Building on the concept of price delivery, this module introduces PD Arrays, which are collections of institutional reference points within premium and discount zones. You'll learn how to use PD Arrays to anticipate market movements by identifying potential draws on liquidity. The PD Array Matrix provides a structured approach to mapping out future price action, making it an essential tool for traders looking to refine their market analysis and improve trade entry and exit points.

Curriculum:

• The Concept of Draw on Liquidity
• PD Array Matrix: Premium and Discount Swaps
• Anticipating Market Movements Using PD Arrays
• Chart Workout Drills:
  • Map out PD arrays in different timeframes.
  • Predict the next draw on liquidity based on current market structure.

n this advanced module, you'll explore the Interbank Price Delivery (IPD) cycles that drive price movements across all timeframes. The module breaks down the four key stages of price delivery: consolidation, expansion, retracement, and reversal. You will also learn about the critical concept of Time and Price, which ties together the timing of market events with price action. This module provides a comprehensive understanding of how to anticipate major market moves and position yourself for optimal trade entries and exits.

Curriculum:

• Interbank Price Delivery (IPD) Cycles: Consolidation, Expansion, Retracement, Reversal
• Time and Price: Analyzing Price Delivery with Timing
• Big Picture Outlook of Market Structure
• Entry and Exit Strategies Based on PD Arrays
• Chart Workout Drills:
  • Track the formation of delivery profiles in historical data.
  • Apply Time and Price analysis to past market events.

this module focuses on specific tools and techniques used by smart money to execute trades with precision. You'll learn about the Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) technique, which helps in identifying ideal entry points during retracements. Additionally, the Smart Money Technique (SMT) is introduced, allowing you to compare co-related markets to spot accumulation and distribution by institutions. The importance of analyzing higher timeframes, particularly in the context of NEPSE, is emphasized to ensure you align your trades with the overall market trend.

Curriculum:

• Optimal Trading Entry (OTE) Techniques
• SMT (Smart Money Technique) for Comparative Market Analysis
• Importance of Monthly and Weekly Frames in NEPSE
• Chart Workout Drills:
  • Edit and test your Fib Retracement Tool using OTE levels.
  • Use SMT to analyze NEPSE alongside related indices.

The final module brings together all the concepts learned throughout the course, focusing on practical application and the essential components of successful trading. You'll learn how to develop and backtest a trading model, manage risk effectively, and maintain the right psychological mindset for consistent trading performance. The module also covers the importance of sticking to a trading framework and managing trades based on predefined criteria. By the end of this module, you'll be equipped to apply Smart Money Concepts to real-world trading scenarios and build a sustainable trading career.

Curriculum:

• Trading Model and Framework: Developing a Backtested Strategy
• Risk Management: Position Sizing and Trade Management
• Trading Psychology: Managing Emotions and Maintaining Consistency
• Course Conclusion: Integrating SMC into Your Trading Approach
• Chart Workout Drills:
  • Backtest your trading model with SMC principles.
  • Create a risk management plan based on your trading strategy.
