XAUUSD Timing Model

Practical Timing Model
Suppose:
30M bullish BOS happened
Price swept buyside liquidity
Then dropped into FVG/demand
Now you WAIT.
You do NOT instantly say: “Okay now bearish because buyside got swept.”
Because smart money often:
sweeps buyside,
taps discount,
then continues upward.
The Exact Time Point You Should Start Observing
The best observation point is:
When price enters the HTF reaction zone AFTER the sweep
Such as:
HTF FVG
Order block
Discount area
Previous breakout origin
That is the moment to start aligning HTF with LTF.
Not before.
Your Sequence Should Be
Step 1 — HTF Structure Shift
Bullish BOS/MSS forms.
Step 2 — Liquidity Sweep Happens
Buyside or sellside taken.
Do nothing yet.
Step 3 — Price Reaches Important HTF Zone
Examples:
30M FVG
demand
imbalance
mitigation block
NOW begin observation.
Step 4 — Drop to 5M
Look for:
seller exhaustion
failed continuation
absorption
displacement candle
Step 5 — Go to 1M
Find:
CHoCH
FVG
sweep
entry trigger
This is where alignment starts.
Why This Works
Liquidity sweeps alone do NOT determine direction.
Sweeps only tell you:
liquidity has been collected.
Direction is determined by:
what price does AFTER the sweep.
That’s the missing piece many traders overlook.

this is golden, I’ve been following your strategies for a while and seems they re really cool, even if I had a few lost, because I want disciplined.. looking at your orb strategy for today, one would have been really profitable, I’ll take my time to master your orb strategy more.. please can I get to contact with you to learn more..

I use the same exact process, but I have yet to be fully consistent with it. Any tips for further confirmation with the trade? I seem to be right most of the time with the overall movement of the market in the HTD using this strategy, my only problem at times is my entry model

The process itself sounds solid based on what's outlined here. The consistency gap is usually the more interesting problem though, most traders who struggle with that already know the steps, they just don't execute them the same way every time depending on how the day is going. Is the inconsistency more about skipping steps when you're eager to enter, or second guessing yourself even when the sequence lines up clean?
