1. Market Structure

This is a very interesting topic, and there are plenty of market "gurus" trying to complicate what is simple imho. The only thing i can see in the market is Fixation and Impulse movements, and they create the market structure until the minimum movement. For instance a Fixation - Impulse - Fixation ( let´s call it FIF from now on ) from the Yearly chart. can be reduced by FIF movements to the lowest timeframe, and this is the real structure of the market. Now you say to me "that´s bullshit" and where is the trend, where is the swings, where is the waves, etc... - that concepts are what i call the real crap they want you believe and insist, so you cannot see the most simple form of the real market structure.

Fixation is where the market pause and can be just one or several bars, Impulse like the name says, is where the market moves until it create a new Fixation area.
If you begin see the market with this new concept that i´m introducing i firmly believe that you will see a all new market, that was all in front of your eyes but you were completely aware and looking for the crap concepts that they want you believe and force you to see.

So after the introduction of the FIF movements you are eagerly waiting - what i can do with it ?

If i tell you that a simple 50%-57.9% measurement from the low/high in case of up FIF or High/Low in case of opposite can lead you to see the support/resistance of the most current movement and you can just trade with it - you will tell this guy is completely crazy and that don´t work, but the answer is YES it works all the time, because you are analyzing the market from it´s inner structure and so the most effective way.

I will give an example and you test for yourself ( off course there is more then this, but for now its really important you begin see the market this way, so you can get out of the box )
So to finish , and to keep it simple, this are the concepts i use to define the market structure.
