Introduction to Market Efficiency Paradigm
The market efficiency paradigm explains that retail traders constitute the large group of uninformed money, while a smaller group, vested with superior knowledge and resources, is the smart money driving price movements. Retail traders often mistakenly believe their collective actions move the market, but in reality, it's the strategic moves of smart money entities like banks.
The Role of Smart Money vs. Retail Traders
- Retail Traders: Large in number, often influenced by common tools like indicators, social media hype, and gurus. Their belief in controlling price movements is a facade.
- Smart Money: Smaller in number but significantly more influential. Operates quietly behind the scenes, manipulating price to serve their liquidity needs.
The Need for a Paradigm Shift
Traders must transition their perspective:
- Stop believing retail trading volume drives price direction.
- Understand that markets are efficient for the smart money, not retail traders.
- Recognize the market is a mechanism primarily shaped by liquidity providers.
Price Delivery Algorithm Explained
Trading day structure follows a repeatable algorithm influenced by interbank price feeds:
Daily Sequence:
- Consolidation (Asian Range): Market quiets to build orders.
- Manipulation (Judah Swing): False moves triggered by news events.
- Expansion: Price makes an impulsive movement, breaking out of consolidation.
- Retracement or Reversal: Price either pulls back to previous order blocks or reverses direction.
- Subsequent Consolidations and Expansions: Occur during New York session and around key times like London close.
Key Concepts:
- Price never moves directly from consolidation to reversal or retracement without expansion.
- Each phase informs the next with limited possible paths, creating a predictable pattern.
To understand these price phases better, refer to the Beginner's Guide to Price Action Trading: Trends & Consolidation Explained.
Practical Trading Insights
- Use intraday study to receive immediate feedback on these price phases.
- Recognize stop runs, liquidity pools, and equilibrium points as indicators of smart money activity.
- Develop patience and suppress impulsive trades driven by fear or greed.
Learning about Understanding Fair Value Gaps in Trading: A Comprehensive Guide can further help identify smart money footprints.
Developing a Smart Money Mindset
- Move away from common indicators and popular trading narratives.
- Focus on order flow and price structure to align with institutional moves.
- Understand that trading is not about chasing quick wins but consistent, systematized progress.

Long-Term Application and Mentorship
- Mastery of this algorithmic price delivery model will evolve over months through dedicated study.
- Higher timeframe and intermarket relationships deepen understanding of directional premise.
- Returning to foundational concepts after advanced lessons reinforces the learning curve.
Conclusion
Recognizing who truly drives the markets and how price is delivered daily empowers traders to make informed decisions. By adopting the smart money perspective and studying the daily price delivery algorithm, traders can improve consistency and trading outcomes significantly.
Embark on this paradigm shift and elevate your trading by understanding the underlying forces shaping the markets beyond retail activity.
okay folks we are in the second teaching of a series of eight for the month of
September 2016 and you've seen this before but I just want to bring this up to you one more
time uh this is the market efficiency Paradigm and what this generally is depicting or what I was trying to
communicate by drawing it out is we as new Traders are collectively part of this larger hole over here of uninformed
money and whether we acknowledge it or whether we believe it or what uh we will invariably come in contact with the
understanding that there is a smart money group of Traders out there and when I first got involved in trading I
didn't know anything about smart money I I just knew that the markets were potentially there and I could be
profitable and in fact I was going to be profitable I knew it I couldn't believe I ever lose money until I lost
it so uh when we as Traders look at the marketplace as new investors new Traders new speculators um we may or may not
have the understanding that there is a smart money entity out there and we as the larger populace of retail minded
trading we think because of our sheer vastness okay we are the driver okay of this apparatus that's called The
Marketplace and we tend to think of ourselves as the drive axle of what makes the markets go up and down which
is the fac that's the facade of supply and demand that's the facade of trend lines driving price when it touches it
that's the facade of moving average crossovers causing price go up or down that's the facade that's perpetuated and
we are led to believe that that's exactly what takes place either in books or in seminars or in uh webinars or
gurus people and I've done this when I was younger too I I I was convinced that indicators Drew price up and down and I
I packed houses on America online when I got on on a chat room and people were in there flocking to hear the things that I
would discuss about stochastic and RSI and Williams per R and I was talking about three momentum indicators when if
you're just going to follow momentum just follow one so if anyone knows more about being in this
group over here trust me it's me I've been I've been in this group enough to know that I learned more about this
group over here that doesn't like to draw too much attention to itself but contrast that with everybody in the
retail we all have Twitter accounts we all have myx books that we're sharing we're all trying to be on Instagram
showing Lamborghinis and whatever else houses cars boats Yachts girlfriends they even yours everybody is living
large over here in the uninformed money and smart money's over here quietly just doing their thing who's
inside this small circle over here the bank who's in here everybody on social media
everybody in a retail account all the gurus and teachers out there that have things that they're selling services and
yes I have a new service but what I'm teaching you ain't available anywhere else see this group this large populace
of people they think and I was part of this group initially they think that the sheer vastness and size of them
is much more controlling in terms of where price is going to be driven higher or lower because of the buying and
selling pressure that's equated to their mere involvement in price and that's a
facade this huge populous of trading people or Traders community in the retail realm is really not that
big but we are led to believe that we are huge and it we are given this this idea
of ourselves that we're Giants we push price around and we don't we don't in fact it's this small little group of
Traders okay they're the ones that influence this entire mechanism that we call the markets this small little group
of Traders is actually the drive shaft and if this was a belt like on a car okay like an
alterator this is the actual motor spinning the whole price higher or lower it's not this big circle of people so
there has to be a paradigm shift see if you're over here thinking that it's the group of traders that is online talking
amongst themselves as a whole they are the ones that make price go up and down because of they buying and selling
interest because the supply and demand factors around them that's what pushes price around that's a facade and I'm
here to tell you that you need to put that to bed now because I'm going to level everything you've ever imagined
about the marketplace and how it really works you have no idea where we're going and you need to leave this realm and
this circle of people in their thought processes and transition and have a paradigm shift in your thought process
about how the markets are efficient because they're not efficient for the speculators
they're efficient for the smart money the bank's Drive price whether you want to accept it or not that's what's going
on and the sooner you get to that understanding and expectation of what it is that's going on in price it's not for
your well-being it's for the bank's well-being it's their business they are the liquidity
provider everyone else's liquidity are you a lamb or a lion which one because one of us is
going to eat meat and the other one's going to stand there looking stupid eating grass I don't want to be a part
of this herd I didn't want to be a part of it once I understood where I was I want to get out of there and I want to
live over here in this small little area and for years I quietly made money doing nothing but focusing on the things I
knew that this small group of entity of Traders did and I looked at these
individuals initially with disdain thinking I'm going to come after you I'm I'm going to devour you I'm going to do
the same thing and then as I looked at it more and more and heard stories about people and their lives losing their
homes marriages it tugged on me and I didn't want to just be over here being like the
banks and then I bridged over into what you saw me do in 2010 and I revealed a lot of things in
this mentorship you're going to learn a whole lot but it's not meant for you to share it on your YouTube channel it's
not meant for you to share it on your blog it's not meant for you to pass it around on Twitter
Instagram make Torance it's not supposed to be there it's only supposed to be between you and
I you're welcome to share this with your this information with your children and your family members
start a legacy but don't make this common knowledge it's going to happen some goobers is going to take this stuff
and be the one that you know I'm the cool guy I'm the one that got in there and made it
all accessible to everyone else she can feel the like the hero that you're not really doing
yourself a favor let this stuff stay well hidden you're paying for it appreciate it for
what it is and don't share it it's not going mainstream you're this is the group that
we have whoever can make it in between October 1st and now that's it that's it because when we leave September and
October we're buttoning up all of the free tutorial stuff and we're going right
into the nut symbol to where we got to go to to get to the latter months see when we come into the
marketplace we don't understand this we think that this group that we're part of we are the the the the market we are the
market we're the Traders we push price up and down but if you were honest with yourself if
you've traded at any time and you looked back on your trading you probably looked at the market and you saw something like
this you you knew something was going on and you just you just couldn't put it together you see these vague things that
take place in the marketplace your stop gets run it looked exactly like it was going to go up but it came all way down
not to then then went up you see these things happening to you you just can't figure it out you know there's something
to it you've had the Sensation that you yeah this is rigged my Brokers have to
get me it's not really your broker it's the interbank feed that drives price against the funds and the Brokers are
going to expand the spread as well on you and knock you out when you look at the price action as
a new Trader and you didn't have this exposure to understanding how the markets are being driven and manipulated
to the degree of every single minute detail they're absolutely controlled it's an AI it's artificially
intelligence and it's you are not trading against a person anymore it's a computer program that delivers price and
it knows human behavior because it's the same way it's been always fear and greed so when you look at price and you've
been trading for a while and you had this fuzzy picture about something going on
behind the scenes but never really understanding what it was until you met me and there suddenly there's Clarity
suddenly you understand that there's something that's been there all along now you can identify it and what's
more important is you understand how to track it and do the same thing it does and by default you
become a resident of small circle because this small circle is the drive shaft it which makes the markets go
around it's not the big populace of Traders it's the liquidity provider so you need to be thinking like
this small group is over here they're not trying to draw attention to themselves they're not trying to be
online flashing this and flashing that they're just quietly in here skinning people alive and you've been there
before and just just as well as I have you either St this business long enough to leave this group and come over here
or sit back in the middle here you get real close to being there and you get bounced back to this group get real
close to uh you know getting over here and you start developing a little bit more and you play tug of war some of you
in my group right now in this mentorship you're in this little area right here where you can see there's some signals
and signs of a real entity of smart money in play but you're not fully convinced to leave this group yet you
have too many convictions about your your tools your indicators your your pet Guru your buddy that has a website
that's so cool to you it's just not enough you got to be able to release all that stuff and just
leave it all behind and join the smart money because trust me we're not serving cookies but it's a
way better lifestyle over here than it is over there in the first video I gave you
elements to a trade set up and I give you two characteristics to it there's context and framework around the trade
and then obviously those refer back to institutional order flow so you have to be able to bridge the two understanding
expansion retracement reversal and consolidation and applying them to respectively order blocks fair value
gaps liquidity voids liquidity pools stops om run I'm sorry uh stop runs and equilibrium what does that mean for us
for instance in the scope of of price how can we use these ideas and make them applicable to price now I know some of
you are chopping at the bit to learn long-term trading because you can't do day trading but bear with us as we go
through these first couple months because I want you to give you immediate feedback and the way you get that is by
using intraday study because you get a lot of feedback in intraday action that is applicable to longer term charts but
you can't I can't teach long-term day trading I'm sorry long-term Trading on daily chart inside of 12 months
adequately it can't be done because you're only looking at a scope of one year but with intraday it's like
compressing years of data in just 30 you what it not even 365 days really 200 something days that we're going to be
together so let's look at the daily range suddenly expansion retracement reversal and consolidation mean
something every day starts with consolidation Asian range after midnight there's a manipulation that takes place
that's expansion it's coming in form of a Judah swing what is it doing it's making the higher low in London that's
the London swing for a reversal that's a run on stops then there is another expansion move okay down into the the
New York session then there's going to be what another consolidation that's the New York consolidation going into the 8
to 8:30 news zar go lift where there's going to be another injection of liquidity or a
reversal then there'll be another expansion and then we go into London close which is another reversal
condition and then what happens the market goes in consolidation for the rest of the day so we have a way of
looking at these things and applying these Concepts to time of the day and repeating
characteristics let's get back to the interbank price delivery algorithm the daily range structure can
be really broken down and simplified with it starts with a price equilibrium
that's Asian range then there's a manipulation and that's always going to come by way of some news event some news
driver either at the time of the manipulation or just before it that's the Judah swing then we'll see a range
expansion in other words after the higher low is formed the range will start expanding it'll go down into 5:00
in the morning New York time or go up into that time window depending upon the daily direction we're going to use the
perspective it's a buy day that means that Asia the Asian range had a small consolidation and then right after
midnight New York time there's a drop down in price that's the manipulation making the false move for the low
there's a range expansion then it goes into to the reversal that's classic London open
scenario where it shoots down runs the stops and then what happens it expands again there's another range expansion
into what 5:00 in the morning New York time between 5:00 in the morning to 8:00 in the morning in that time window the
market will go back into consolidation then it'll have a retracement between 8:00 and 8:30 in the morning New York
time then it'll have either a reversal in New York session or another expansion move the range will expand and make the
rest of the day going up into 10:00 or 11:00 in the morning New York time where it will have a reversal again that's
London close then the market will go into consolidation ending true day at 19001 Forex LTDs uh platform if you
follow along with the videos we've been doing so far this month you'll know exactly what I'm talking
about so we can see the inter Bank price delivery algorithm on a daily basis by studying these events and then seeing it
over a period of time you'll know what is most likely to happen now let's look look at it a little bit
further if we're looking at Price delivery and this is the model that comes by way of my understanding of how
the ENT Bank feeds price to everyone if we're focusing on delivery of price we have to understand that it all starts
with a consolidation nothing can happen until cons idation consolidation is when the
Market's quiet why why is that important because that's when the orders are building up in the marketplace the
market makers will allow orders to build up above and below the range the next stage is always expansion
it's not consolidation to retracement it can't retrace it hasn't moved anywhere it has it can't go consolidation
reversal because it has to come out of the consolidation so when you see a consolidation or holding pattern you got
to think the next leg is going to be in price it's going to be an explosive move or an imp impulse leg impulse price
swing movement you need to see Movement by determining what that movement is in what direction is relative to the
conditions you're trading in once we're in the expansion stage okay then you have a choice it can retrace come back
to the order blocket just left behind and then recapitalize that and then make another leg up or down relative to the
direction it's moved or once it's moved into expansion it can reverse once it reverses okay there'll
be another expansion then it goes back to a consolidation the main thing is I want
you to understand is is it never goes consolidation retracement it never does consolidation reversal it's always
consolidation expansion and then from expansion it goes either retracement or reversal it does not do consolidation
expansion consolidation that does not happen it does a consolidation expansion either retrace for another
uh move into a order block and then recapitalize it and do the same direction it moved when it made an
expansion or it goes from expansion to reversal when you understand this algorithm the way it moves and way
it operates it's very generic it's very systematic it has only a few options to go to and they're time sensitive they're
day sensitive okay they're intermarket related so so when one market mes moving real fast if you understand the
relationships like I'm going to teach you over a couple months you'll know where the trade's setting up because
one's being held and the other one's letting letting it run which is the importance of knowing what the Euro
pounds doing it for trading fiber or cable all these things are going to blend together and you'll know exactly
how I'm doing these things internally and I'm doing it on the Fly I'm not measuring things and writing this down
writing that down making notes over here I just know by looking at Price what I should be seeing and you see it I'm
thinking out loud in the videos when I'm doing the live sessions with you all aiming at your better
understanding of price delivery and when you understand these things when you get to the the level of month 8 and month
nine in the mentorship you're going to be so strong at knowing what the next thing's going to happen in your in your
price that you're studying you'll know all these four things okay there's only certain processes that have to take
place in a certain order like I said it can it never goes consolidation reversal it never does consolidation and
retracement it goes consolidation to an expansion move there's an Impulse leg up or down it's either going to retrace
back down into where it just ra rallied up from or it's going to Rally back up into where it just dropped down from the
consolidation starts at all they're going to run an expansion and then once it expands he's either going to come
back and retrace and give another leg up or down or it's going to reverse and then from the
reversal start applying time the general structure is consolidation in Asia expansion reverse in London make a
higher low of the day then expand small consolidation in New York retrace between 8:00 and 8:30 in the
morning New York time another expansion move reverse back to consolid you understand price delivery then you
will not learn it just by what I just explained to you just there but you'll use this as a model that repeats itself
over and over and over again when you have higher time frame directional premise understood and then
you look at this price delivery algo it's so easy to know what the price is going to do every single day since the
last week of August we've been together and every single day I've given you something that went right to the PIP or
had an explosive Direction move where you could have taken 50 to 60 Pips out and I don't trade that much every day
but I'm showing you by desensitizing you to fear and greed there's no need there's no need for those things what
we're teaching is consistency the ability to see these things happening all the time and also exercising
willpower on not wanting to make money so you're suppressing the desire to make money you're developing your patience
and you're learning a great deal you have no understanding of how much you're learning just in these first two videos
but I'm telling you you'll be able to look back on this months from now and say man that was a huge step I didn't
appreciate until now there's a certain process the way the price is delivered and it can't be
changed it won't be changed and don't be afraid because you're learning it 700 people is not going to turn the whole
world around okay and they stop doing it's not so again in closing take the information I'm giving you stuff it
under your mess stick it in a uh you know a love letter to your grandkids on you know how to do it but don't Market
it don't don't do that okay not because I'm going to lose sales it's just it's too good to share and you're going to
see why I've kept it for so long and not wanted to do it and hopefully you guys will take this
information and do something really great with with it and that means not starting a website selling it okay
uh there's nothing more I can say about this video except for there is a process that you're going to learn that is very
generic and it will not break it will not stop working and when you look at the marketplace in your charts I want
you to think it doesn't matter what time frame you're looking at I'm just using the
daily range to give you how easy it is to see when a repeating um format so simple every day
you get an opportunity to study and see how it works that same thing happens with a weekly range the weekly range is
the same thing Sunday's open consolidation then there's an expansion move in Monday then what there's a
reversal on Tuesday or or Monday and then what there's another expansion move then it goes back in consolidation
midweek and then it's either going to do what it's going to reverse or it's going to
retrace it's never doing consolidation retrace M it's never doing consolidation reversal it's consolidation expansion
then from expansion you're making a choice is either going to retrace back or it's going to
reverse trust me it seems like you still have a lot of choices to make but it's not and when you understand what you're
looking at in terms of price you'll know if it's really leading to a reversal or if it's really going to re retrace and
give you another opportunity to get in that another leg up or down that you saw in the first impulsive move and believe
me you'll need to go back to this video even though it's the second one you'll come back to this video as we give more
details along the lines of price delivery over the next couple months month four and five you'll still refer
back to this one and you'll see there it is it's been there all along so that guys I'm going to wish you good luck and
good Trading
The market efficiency paradigm highlights that retail traders are generally uninformed and form the majority of market participants, whereas a smaller group known as smart money, including banks and institutions with superior information and resources, drives price movements. Retail traders often mistakenly believe their trades move the market, but in reality, smart money strategically manipulates prices to fulfill liquidity needs.
Smart money operates quietly behind the scenes, using their knowledge and resources to create stop runs, liquidity pools, and manipulate price structures to their advantage. Retail traders, influenced by popular indicators and social media, tend to follow crowd behavior, which smart money can anticipate and exploit, resulting in price movements primarily driven by institutional activity rather than retail trading volume.
The Daily Price Delivery Algorithm describes a repeatable sequence of market phases starting with consolidation (Asian Range), followed by manipulation through false moves (Judah Swing), then expansion with an impulsive breakout, retracement or reversal to previous order blocks, and subsequent consolidations and expansions during sessions like New York and key times such as London close. This sequence reflects how interbank price feeds structure price action predictably.
Adopting a smart money mindset requires moving away from reliance on common retail indicators and popular narratives, and instead focusing on order flow and price structure to align with institutional movements. This mindset fosters disciplined trading, patience, and a systemic approach rather than impulsive or emotion-driven decisions, which improves consistency and long-term trading success.
Traders can recognize smart money activity by studying intraday price phases, looking for signs like stop runs, liquidity pools, and equilibrium points where large orders accumulate. Combining this with knowledge of fair value gaps and price action patterns helps traders detect footprints of institutional participation, enabling better timing of entries and exits aligned with smart money.
Mastery of the algorithmic price delivery model is a gradual process, often requiring months of dedicated study and practice. Deepening understanding through higher timeframe analysis, intermarket relationships, revisiting foundational concepts after advanced lessons, and possibly mentorship are key supports that enhance this learning curve and help develop a reliable directional trading premise.
Traders interested in deepening their understanding can refer to resources such as the Beginner's Guide to Price Action Trading for trends and consolidation insights, the comprehensive guide on Fair Value Gaps to spot smart money footprints, and Mastering Market Maker Models for detailed perspectives on institutional trading influences across forex, indices, and stocks. These materials provide foundational and advanced knowledge crucial for aligning with smart money.
