- 2026-07-10chapterAdded 3.5 PSP Variants from Garrett's "GxT | Precision Swing Point | Pt.1" (the mechanical opposing-close definition, Continuation PSP, and Strength Switch PSP), plus 4 accompanying community insights.
- 2026-07-10chapterExpanded chapters 4, 6, 9 and 17 with new material from four of Afyz's YouTube videos ("Protraction Profiles", "The Twitter Model", a "True Reversal Logic" trade breakdown, and a week trade recap): reading relative strength via candle closures, three protraction profiles, refining entry with a lower-timeframe fractal, and the daily-range retracement model, plus 7 accompanying community insights.
- 2026-07-10chapterAdded 3.6 Confirmation Ordering for a True Reversal and a time-remaining filter to 1.3, from Afyz's "True Reversal Logic" master class and its Q&A follow-up, plus 16.1 Prop-Firm Risk Sizing from a separate video, plus 5 accompanying community insights.

- 2026-07-10insightAdded 5 community insights naming mechanics already covered elsewhere in the notes (the ideal sequence, a five-component trade checklist, sequential SMT, logical liquidity target, true CISD) from several of Afyz's YouTube videos.
- 2026-07-10chapterAdded 9.7 GXT Sequences from Garrett's "3 Types of GXT Sequences" (continuation, reversal, and aligned sequences for profiling a higher-timeframe candle with a lower-timeframe swing), plus 2 accompanying community insights.

- 2026-07-10chapterExpanded chapters 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9 with material from a dozen more of Erik's YouTube videos: range-relative asset selection (4.1), types of decoupling and anticipating direction with profiling (4.2), a timeframe-escalation rule and a gap-invalidation framework (7.4/7.5), and refinements to key-level and consolidation-risk logic, plus 18 accompanying community insights.
- 2026-07-10chapterExtended 5.2 Refined Key Level and 5.3 When a Level Stops Being a Draw with material from two of Garrett's Q&A streams: choosing gap timeframe by premium/discount position in the range, and a timeframe-climbing heuristic for finding the actually-relevant swing, plus 2 accompanying community insights.
- 2026-07-10chapterAdded a Stop-Loss Placement by Candle Type section to 10.3, from another of Garrett's Q&A streams: sizing the stop off EQ for an expansion candle versus confirming a reversal candle's wick is protected before trusting it, plus 1 accompanying community insight.
- 2026-07-10chapterAdded an explicit SSMT definition to 3.3 Strength Switch, from another of Garrett's Q&A streams, plus 1 accompanying community insight.
- 2026-07-10chapterAdded 10.4 Trade Management from Garrett's Entries lecture: trailing stop to the most recent invalidation, filtering order blocks to trust via premium/discount, and partialing at relevant levels rather than fixed R, plus a refinement to stop-loss sizing by opposing-candle shape, plus 2 accompanying community insights.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded a note to 5.2 on breakaway gaps being more likely to stay unfilled in premium of the range than in discount, from another of Garrett's Q&A streams, plus 1 accompanying community insight. Several further Garrett Q&A/backtest streams were reviewed this batch and found to reinforce material already documented (SMT break, decoupling/asset-sync mechanics, double-sweep SMT, reversal-signature ranking) — no further additions needed from those.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded 10 community insight callouts from six of AM's YouTube videos (TGIF setup, weekly profiles, consolidations, an NFP trade recap, and change-in-state-of-delivery mechanics) — callouts only, per instruction, with no new source-note sections added for this creator.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded 4 more community insight callouts from four further AM videos (daily profiles/invalidation, a weekly trade review, and a continuation-trade breakdown) — callouts only, per instruction. Two further AM videos (a Tuesday-Wednesday trade recap and a daily-consolidation protocol video) were reviewed and found to reinforce material already documented; no additions from those.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded a community insight on pyramiding entries (adding to a position at each new continuation signature, trailing the stop to pull the average toward it) from a further AM video. Two more AM videos (an extreme-volatility trade recap and a pure trading-psychology Q&A) were reviewed and found to add no new mechanics for the notes.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded a community insight on scaling out into strength rather than trailing near a major timing window once the day's range already exceeds average, from another AM trade recap.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded community insights on a hands-off risk-to-reward-threshold management rule, a 30-daily-candle look-back cap for relevant swings, and session volatility/close-rate statistics behind why New York is the session to demand a continuation from, from three further AM videos. Two more AM videos (a 3-step-model overview and a follow-up with two trade breakdowns) were reviewed and found to reinforce material already documented; no additions from those.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded a community insight on resolving opposing daily frameworks between correlated pairs by waiting for a defined driver like the 9:30 open to react at the shared relevant swing, from another AM video. A prop-firm-scaling and trading-psychology AM video and a long live-backtest walkthrough were also reviewed this batch and found to add nothing new for the notes.
- 2026-07-10chapterAdded a note to 3.1 SMT Quality Filters on ignoring SMTs opposed to draw-liquidity direction, from the remainder of Garrett's "Entries" lecture, plus an ADR-based room-check insight from the remainder of an AM live-backtest session. The remainders of three other previously-truncated videos (Garrett's Q&A stream tcYBNvJqT-A, a Garrett backtest stream, and Garrett's Af4YvRhP-c8 Q&A) were reviewed and found to reinforce material already documented.
- 2026-07-10chapterAdded 0.3 Phases of Price and 5.4 Future Gap Filter from two lessons of Garrett's Anomaly Course ("Phases of Price" and "Key Level"): the if-then framework and signature checklist for each phase of price, a mechanical premium/discount test for relevant swings, and a filter for avoiding stops placed on gaps that haven't finished forming yet, plus 4 accompanying community insights (citations without video links, per instruction).
- 2026-07-10insightAdded 13 community insight callouts from ten of MMXM Trader's YouTube videos, each hyperlinked to the exact timestamp — callouts only, per instruction, with no new source-note sections added for this creator. Covers a midnight-open bias reference, a mitigation-block reaccumulation concept, fair-value-gap premium/discount straddling, fresh prop-account risk scaling, the internal/external range liquidity alternating draw cycle, the X Model, balanced price ranges, exact equal highs across separate swings, order blocks needing to form at a key time, consecutive same-profile quarters implying a parabolic next quarter, Double Purge Theory (including the one-candle purge), and range depth being driven by nested lower-timeframe liquidity pools. Three further MMXM videos were reviewed and found to reinforce material already documented.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded 7 more MMXM Trader community insight callouts, each hyperlinked to the exact timestamp — callouts only, per instruction. Covers single-stock SMT confluence for NASDAQ, body-to-body change-in-state-of-delivery confirmation, the Blitz scalping model, the Three Drives counter-trend model, bonds leading DXY, and waiting for 10am on two-stage news days.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded 7 more MMXM Trader community insight callouts, each hyperlinked to the exact timestamp — callouts only, per instruction. Covers a news-timing cheat sheet (8:30am's two patterns, 10am vs. Asia/London trend, FOMC and NFP timing rules), Deferred Delivery (high-resistance liquidity levels deferring to grab opposing stops first), The Sequence top-down model (two timeframe-nested variants for landing directly in AMD's distribution phase), and a standard-deviation fallback target when R:R to the higher-timeframe draw is insufficient.
- 2026-07-10insightAdded 2 more MMXM Trader community insight callouts, each hyperlinked to the exact timestamp — callouts only, per instruction. Covers a candle-shape-dependent order block sensitivity point, and letting the first candle that digs into a structural range's high/low fully close (on that range's own timeframe) before dropping to a lower timeframe, using its shape to judge whether the level will get revisited.
- 2026-07-09insightAdded a community insight on trading without a pre-existing key level, from Erik's Lathyrus Q&A.
- 2026-07-09insightAdded a community insight on pure decoupling as a consolidation signature, from Afyz's Lathyrus Live Trade.
