The Core Price Structure and Rhythm of ALL Markets!To Successfully Trade the Markets
You need to understand the Underlying Movements and Rhythm of the Markets!
The following Principles form the Cornerstone of a Consistent and Successful
Trading Methodology. There is only one major Market Cycle (or movement) inexistence. The Market can do nothing else but comply with this one basic Market
Cycle, we call it
The Market Flow Analysis Method (Pure PRICE ACTION)
There is no other Movement or Motion possible in the Markets.
The Markets do NOT move in a Random fashion.
The MarketsALWAYS move within the framework of an Underlying Market
Wave. Otherwise, known as a TREND, whether it be Up, Down, or Sideways.

Three Primary Waves (TRENDS) in the Markets!
There are only Three (3) Primary Waves (TRENDS) in the Markets:
1) UP TrendA Series of Higher Highs and Higher Lows
2) DOWN TrendA Series of Lower Highs and Lower Lows
3) SIDEWAYS TrendA Series of relatively Equal Highs and Equal Lows
Identifying which Wave or TREND the Market is in is vital to Successful Trading.
The Market Flow Analysis Method (MFAM) is based upon: the Upside Penetration of market HIGHS, and
the Downside Penetration of market LOWS.
New Highs and New Lows are continuously being formed in the Markets. Therefore, Traders
must identify these important levels to help in mapping out what the Markets are most likely
going to do next.
This will help you in identifying if a market is TRENDING UP, TRENDING DOWN, or
TRENDING SIDEWAYS, at the Early Stagesof the Trend and not after the fact.

Starting the Market Flow Analysis Method ProcessIn Trading the E-Mini S&P 500 Market, once the Market moves in either direction off of the Open and
establishes a High and Low with a sufficient range between them, then an Initial Swing has been
established. Once the Market makes a move off of either the High or Low and proceeds to Penetrate Up
through the High or Down through Low of the Initial Swing, a new TREND (potentially) begins in the
direction of the penetration.
