What Is A Peak Formation?
1. Used to frame the week - Help Identify which
level of rise or fall we are in.
2. Used to frame the day - Similar to week, help
to identify whether the larger template is
lining up with the day.

Example Scenario:
-First Red Day presented yesterday.
-Today, there was a peak formation LOW made in
Asia.
-Throughout the day, the market has moved up 3
levels and put a peak formation high in at the HOD.
-Coming into the NY SESSION market traded back
into the neckline of the M at the HOD.
-Short trade may now be confirmed.
Example Scenario:
-First Red Day presented yesterday.
-Today, there was a peak formation LOW made in Asia.
-Throughout the day, the market has moved up 3 levels and put a peak formation high in at the HOD.
-Coming into the NY SESSION market traded back into the neckline of the M at the HOD.
-Short trade may now be confirmed.
Another Scenario:

15M or 1H chart shows 3 levels of rise (counting consolidations, 3 pushes out of opening range, 3 days of breakouts).

First Red Day Presents (or at the very least PEAK formation high at the high of week).

On the day looking for 3 levels of rise for HOD Sell.

Frame the day:

5M puts in peak formation low at LOD and does 3 levels of rise.

5M chart has NOT put in a high yet coming into the NY Session and continues to trade HIGHER

Must wait for peak formation to form at HOD.


When And Where To Draw Lines

1. Peak Formation has NOT been created yet.


a. Down Moving Market
i. Down close candle, Upclose candle - Draw line at low of downclose candle and wait for market to trade back into the low.
b. Up Moving Market
i. Up close candle, down close candle - Draw line at the high of up close candle and wait for market to trade back into the high.
c. For BOTH - Once you believe you are in level 3 and the market has began creating peak formation, pull up 100 pip box and see what level you are at.
2. Peak formation was made earlier in session OR earlier in the day
a. Draw line at the neckline of the M, W
b. Observe what 100 pip box level the peak formation was created.
c. Wait for price to trade back into that peak formation level in 3 pushes or levels of rise or fall.
100 Pip Box
- Can be used to observe 3 levels of rise or fall.
- Used to see which level (100 pip box level) was the peak formation made (could become a potential strike zone).
- Can be used to identify where the NEW peak formation is FORMING (again can become a potential strike zone.)
