Updates

A running log of what’s been added to the site — new community insights, videos, glossary entries, and chapters — newest first.

• 2026-07-232 updates

  • glossaryGlossary entries now link each referenced note section (the §X / §X.Y refs after every definition) directly to that section's anchor in the notes, instead of showing them as plain text.
  • otherAdded a homepage card that shows a random note excerpt on every visit, with a "Show another" button and a link back to the source chapter — drawn from a pool of 109 real sections across all 21 chapters.
• 2026-07-131 update

  • insightAdded 115 community insight callouts from a full crawl of Matt Loeber's public YouTube channel (162 "Forever Model"/ICT-concepts videos surveyed), each cited with the exact video title, timestamp, and a deep link — filed under the "$niper" attribution already used elsewhere in this file, since Matt Loeber and $niper are the same creator (see credits.md). Spans a two-axis setup-grading rubric (pair-strength and PDA-type), weekly/daily loss-cap and risk-taper conventions, a 6-hour/90-minute "AMDX" quarterly-theory framework, multi-year seasonality overlays, several cross-pair relative-strength triangulation techniques, standard-deviation projection methods, and killzone/session timing detail, plus refinements across most existing chapters. One entry is marked as a deliberate counterpoint to the site's continuation-vs-reversal pyramiding rule — kept for context, not adopted as doctrine.
• 2026-07-121 update

  • insightAdded 128 community insight callouts from a full crawl of TTrades' public YouTube channel (176 videos surveyed, including guest "T Talks" interviews), each cited with the exact video title, timestamp, and a deep link. Guest speakers — AP, Ash Trades, GxTradez, Jokerszn, NickDoesFutures, DexterLab, AM Trades, DayTradingRauf, $niper, The OTE Trader, The MMXM Trader, and Trader Kane — are attributed by name, not folded into TTrades. Spans a wide range of named models and tools not previously catalogued (the Unicorn Model, breaker/mitigation-block/BPR/box-setup definitions, standard-deviation projection grids, T-spot, advanced nested-swing structure, killzone and 4h-session clock taxonomies, currency-futures and ratio-chart relative-strength methods, position-sizing formulas, and several weekly-profile and daily-bias variants), plus refinements across most existing chapters. A few Trader Kane entries are marked in their own text as deliberate counterpoints to the site's established partial-profit, journalling, and in-the-moment psychology rules — kept for context, not adopted as doctrine.
• 2026-07-112 updates

  • chapterAdded two new subsections — 4.5 Beyond the Core Triad (RTY, metals, intermarket confluence, and cross-instrument correlation rules) and 10.6 Inter-Candle Confirmation Patterns (propulsion blocks, inter-candle reversal/continuation/CiSD, neutral-candle marking) — plus refinements across twelve existing sections (1.1, 4.1, 5.1, 6.7, 9.1, 9.7, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 11.3, 12.1, 15.1, 20, 18.1). Drawn from the private "Anomaly" course transcript library (19 videos across a Beginner Course, Advanced Course, standalone lessons, and livestreams) — original paraphrases throughout, no verbatim transcript excerpts.
  • insightAdded 35 community insight callouts from the Anomaly course transcript library, cited as "Anomaly" with the course subfolder and video name plus a timestamp — no source link, since this is private, paid course material. Spans invalidation edge-cases and EQ-marking conventions, session-sequencing and count-based continuation rules, GxT-model worked examples, asset-synchronisation checklists and decoupling-anticipation criteria, and several trade-management and pre-trade filtering heuristics.
• 2026-07-1035 updates

  • insightAdded 48 timestamped community insights from Garrett's YouTube lecture notes, across the SMT/PSP, Asset Synchronisation, Drivers, 4h Profiling, Reversal, Continuation, Expansion/Consolidation, Key Levels, Candle Entry, and Premium/Discount chapters.
  • chapterExpanded chapters 5, 6, and 8 with new material from Garrett's "How I Confirm Narrative With Drivers" (key-level exhaustion, two forms of reversal signature, driver-calendar filtering, positional entries), plus 9 accompanying community insights.
  • chapterExpanded chapters 3 and 4 with new material from Garrett's "A Deeper Dive into SMT Divergence" (a wickless-candle SMT filter, two forms of two-stage SMT, and trading a fake SMT via the lagging asset), plus 7 accompanying community insights.
  • chapterAdded 1.3 Candle Profile Components from Garrett's "Filter Price through 'Candle Profiles'" (wick size vs open-high/open-low, and adjusting targets on large-wick reversal days), plus 3 accompanying community insights.
  • chapterAdded 7.3 Continuation Invalidation from Garrett's "GxT Invalidations | Continuations" (moving the goalpost forward through swing points and expansions), plus 2 accompanying community insights.
  • chapterExpanded chapters 9 and 11 with new material from Garrett's "4H Profiling" (when a 10am reversal becomes higher probability, and three range patterns for swing formation), plus 5 accompanying community insights.
  • chapterAdded 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.
  • chapterExpanded 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.
  • chapterAdded 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.
  • chapterExpanded chapters 4, 5, 7 and 12 with material from Garrett's "GxT | Universal Sequence" and "Asset Synchronization", and Afyz's Advanced Premium/Discount lecture and continuations master class: fractal gap selection, the middle-asset SMT break pattern, the advanced P/D sequence, gap filtering by premium/discount, and a candle-3 equilibrium invalidation, plus 4 accompanying community insights.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • chapterAdded 9.7 GXT Sequences from Garrett's "4H PO3 Made Mechanical" (continuation, reversal, and aligned sequences for profiling a higher-timeframe candle with a lower-timeframe swing), plus 2 accompanying community insights.
  • chapterAdded 7.4 Judging Continuation Quality and an Approach Speed and Consolidation Risk section to 2.2, from Erik's "Trading with an Open Draw" lecture and two follow-up clips, plus 6 accompanying community insights.
  • chapterExpanded 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.
  • chapterExtended 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.
  • chapterAdded 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.
  • chapterAdded an explicit SSMT definition to 3.3 Strength Switch, from another of Garrett's Q&A streams, plus 1 accompanying community insight.
  • chapterAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 10 community insight callouts from six of AM's YouTube videos (TGIF setup, weekly profiles, consolidations, an NFP trade recap, and CiSD mechanics) — callouts only, per instruction, with no new source-note sections added for this creator.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • chapterAdded 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.
  • chapterAdded 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 PoP, 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).
  • insightAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 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 CiSD confirmation, the Blitz scalping model, the Three Drives counter-trend model, bonds leading DXY, and waiting for 10am on two-stage news days.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 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.
  • insightAdded 2 more MMXM Trader community insight callouts, each hyperlinked to the exact timestamp — callouts only, per instruction. Covers why a higher-timeframe FVG sitting above a lower-timeframe one takes priority and leaves the lower-timeframe gap as an open breakaway gap, and the "Redelivered Rebalanced" (RDRB) pattern where price above a gap has already internally alternated buy-side and sell-side, removing the structural need to revisit the gap below.
  • insightAdded 8 more MMXM Trader community insight callouts from four videos, each hyperlinked to the exact timestamp — callouts only, per instruction. Covers a timeframe-aligned key-level/range/CiSD ladder and why a deep retracement into a fresh order block is expected stop-engineering rather than invalidation; a trailing-drawdown "buffer on a buffer" position-sizing rule and the sniper-not-machine-gun trade-frequency discipline behind a fixed 1:3 risk-to-reward; the PDA hierarchy placing highs/lows above every other price-delivery array, structural-range identification via a pullback versus the one-candle range (CRT), and extending broken swing levels to gauge accumulation duration against eventual move size; and the true turtle-soup level as the specific swing that caused the break of the most recent higher-low/lower-high.
  • chapterAdded two new chapters — 18. Weekly Profile (three weekly wick-timing patterns: early-week, midweek, and Thursday-counter) and 19. Trading Psychology (a nervous-system model of trading "psychology" problems and how to retrain the response) — plus three new subsections: 9.8 Quarterly Alignment, 10.5 Inverse PD Arrays (IFVG/ICiSD), and 11.3 Universal Model Variants (IRL/ERL). Also extended six existing sections (9.6 Protraction Profiles, 9.5, 5.3, 12.2, 7.5, 4.1) with refinements. Drawn from the private Lathyrus mentorship course transcript library (13 core lectures, 2 worked examples, 6 supplementary lessons) — original paraphrases throughout, no verbatim transcript excerpts.
  • insightAdded 42 community insight callouts from the Lathyrus mentorship transcript library, cited as "Lathyrus Masterclass" with the course subfolder and lecture/lesson name plus a timestamp — no source link, since this is private, paid course material. Spans driver timing and escalation sequences, premium/discount-to-Universal-Model mapping, asset-synchronisation strength-switch tells, continuation swing-grading and R:R/structure tradeoffs, seasonal and quarterly patterns, portfolio-allocation and loss-framing guidance, stop-placement heuristics, and several nested-fractal and gap-quality refinements.
• 2026-07-092 updates

  • insightAdded a community insight on trading without a pre-existing key level, from Erik's Lathyrus Q&A.
  • insightAdded a community insight on pure decoupling as a consolidation signature, from Afyz's Lathyrus Live Trade.
