CHAPTER 12
Models 16-20: Time-Based and Advanced
The last five models rely on higher timeframes and time cycles. They are slower but each trade pays more R.
Model 16 - Weekly Open Reclaim
The open of the week's first candle is the weekly equilibrium. If price dips below it and reclaims it, the week is usually bullish.

Daily | The Monday range |
1H | Reclaim confirmation |
15m | Entry |
Entry Rules
- Draw the Monday open line.
- Watch for a sweep below and a return above.
- After a 1H MSS, enter the 15-minute FVG.
- Target the weekly draw.
| Level | Distance | What to do |
|---|---|---|
Entry | 15m FVG | After the reclaim |
Stop | Monday low | 25-40 pips |
TP1 | 1:2 | Midweek range |
TP2 | 1:4 | Weekly high |

- Effective on Tuesday and Wednesday.

| Timeframe | What to look for |

15m | Premium sweep |
5m | MSS |
1m | Entry |
Entry Rules
