Entry model · v1.0
SMT Divergence Reversal
When two correlated markets disagree at the highs/lows (one sweeps, the other fails to), smart money is showing its hand. Trade the reversal at a HTF PD array.
- LONDON
- NY AM
- MIN R:R 3:1
- RISK 0.5%
Required
Every box checks or there is no trade
- Correlated pair chosen (ES/NQ, EU/GU, BTC/ETH)
- SMT: one side makes a new extreme, the other fails
- Divergence forms at a HTF PD array (OB/FVG/old high-low)
- LTF MSS confirms before entry
- Entry on retrace, stop beyond the divergence extreme
Optional confluence
Not mandatory — each one adds weight
- DXY agrees (for FX pairs)
Warnings
If one of these fires, stand down
- SMT alone is context, not a trigger — skipping the MSS
This checklist is an educational planning template. Workstation detection and backtest support are model-specific, so a checked list does not imply an automated or live signal.

Discipline
The model is half the trade.
Risk a fixed fraction (0.25–1%)
Small fixed risk per trade makes losing streaks survivable and keeps your judgement clean. Ten losses at 0.5% is a bruise; at 5% it's the account.
Judge over samples, not single trades
A good trade can lose and a bad trade can win. Evaluate your model over 20+ executions before changing anything — otherwise you're steering by noise.
No revenge trading
After a stop-out, the next trade must qualify on its own merits. If you feel the urge to "get it back", the session is over — close the platform.
