STOP MARKING POIs THE WRONG WAY! DO THIS INSTEAD!

Summary

The presenter explains how to identify stronger points of interest (POIs), especially order blocks (OBs) and breaker blocks, using market structure, trend direction, and liquidity. The discussion focuses on price-action and Smart Money Concepts-style trading, rather than company or macroeconomic analysis.

Framework for Marking a POI

• Establish the market bias first. Trade in the direction of the trend. The presenter says an incorrect bias can cause an otherwise seemingly valid POI to fail.
• Require a structural break. A candidate order block or breaker block should be responsible for breaking a prior high or low—a break of structure (BOS). Avoid marking blocks just because they look significant.
• Look for liquidity and inducement. Price may create inducement near a level, take liquidity—such as stops clustered around repeated highs or lows—and then move toward the valid POI.
• Refine using lower timeframes when needed. If a zone is unclear on a higher timeframe, step down gradually. The presenter prefers starting higher and then moving lower.
• Treat multiple structural breaks as added evidence. A zone that drives breaks of several structures is presented as evidence of stronger buying or selling pressure.
• Be patient rather than forcing trades. Traders can seek nearer-term setups on lower timeframes, even if they expect price may later revisit a larger POI.

Examples and Instruments

• Bitcoin (BTC): The presenter identifies a BTC order block that broke structure upward and says the level was respected because inducement helped protect it. He also says he bought BTC there.
• Breaker blocks and order blocks: Other chart examples show blocks breaking highs or lows, followed by inducement and a return to the POI. The subtitles do not identify the other currency pairs or provide specific prices.
• The presenter contrasts liquidity-based trading with approaches based on basic market structure, saying traders who ignore liquidity may be stopped out more often.

Key Claims and Cautions

• The presenter claims that when traders have the correct bias, a POI that breaks structure, and inducement, the POI will “most likely” hold 70–80% of the time. This is the presenter’s assertion; no supporting performance data or testing method is provided.
• No prices, yields, valuation multiples, or other market-performance statistics are given.
• The presenter cautions that stop-outs may result from incorrect directional bias, not just from incorrectly marking an order block or breaker block.
• No explicit “not financial advice” disclaimer appears in the subtitles.
