Becoming Pretty Profitable · Cohort VI

Top-Down Analysis
Breakout Exercise

A hands-on session for drawing supply & demand zones the Pretty Profitable way, gworlz.

Our zones are gaps

In our methodology there's no rally-base, no drop-base, no consolidation zones. A zone is a gap. That's it. Memorize this and the rest is easy.

Supply
Downward Gap
Price gapped down. Sellers stepped in. We expect a reaction when price returns to fill it.
Demand
Upward Gap
Price gapped up. Buyers stepped in. We expect a reaction when price returns to fill it.

What we're doing today

You'll break into groups of four, hop into FX Replay, and walk through a top-down analysis on a date of your choosing. Draw clean gap-based supply and demand zones across every timeframe, then defend them to the group. Should be easy, gworl. You did this in the assignment.

Mark every gap as one of these

For each gap zone you draw, label it. Your team needs to agree before you move down to the next timeframe.

Supply · Fresh
Downward gap that price has not yet returned to fill.
Supply · Tested
Downward gap that price has already revisited at least once.
Demand · Fresh
Upward gap that price has not yet returned to fill.
Demand · Tested
Upward gap that price has already revisited at least once.

How your breakout runs

Pick a team leader

One person shares their screen on FX Replay and drives the analysis. Everyone else calls out the gaps as you walk the timeframes.

Everybody participates

This isn't a watch-along. Every gworl in the room is spotting gaps, calling fresh vs tested, and challenging each other's choices.

Pick your own date

Your group picks the date you load on FX Replay. Choose something with clean gaps so you've got plenty to work with.

Top-down, no skipping

Daily, 4H, 1H, 30m, 15m, 5m. Draw at every level. Don't jump from the daily to the 15.

Be ready to defend

If you marked it as a zone, you need to point to the gap. "It looked like one" is not a reason, gworl.

Your three minutes

When you come back to the group, your team leader walks us through the analysis. Hit every one of these points so we can give you proper feedback.
