- Market Behavior and Price Action: The presenter stresses the significance of watching price action rather than relying solely on economic data or predictions. He suggests that market movements often contradict economic indicators, thus traders should trust price movements.

Step-by-Step Methodology:
- Identify FVGs: Look for gaps in price action that indicate areas of imbalance.
- Use Candlestick Patterns: Determine entry points based on the structure of three specific candlesticks (the trigger candle and its surrounding candles).
- Set Stop Losses: Place stop losses strategically above or below the identified candlestick levels.
- Monitor Price Action: Wait for initial market movements to settle before entering trades to avoid being caught in false breakouts.
- Practice: Engage in exercises to build familiarity with identifying FVGs and executing trades based on them.
