The system which I, Frank, use to trade financial markets is based around Time & Price.

I believe that all financial markets are rigged and driven by high-frequency trading algorithms. These algorithms are controlled by powerful entities such as central banks and large hedge funds. I refer to these entities collectively as Smart Money.

Smart Money does not trade the way retail traders do.

They do not react.

They engineer conditions.

Their objective is not to be right. Their objective is to move price in a way that allows them to execute large positions.

To do this, they must manipulate perception.

The agenda of Smart Money is what I look to recognize within the markets. Every algorithm leaves footsteps.

– Not in news

– Not in indicators

– But in Time and Price

When I recognize these footprints, I can position myself before the masses do, instead of reacting after the move has already happened.

This is why you'll see me often buy the markets after a heavy drop or sell after a quick run higher.

When everyone is being steered to the left, I am moved to the right. This is how Smart Money operates.

They guide the majority into one narrative, one bias, one direction, so they can fulfill their orders and make their moves in the opposite direction.

The crowd provides the liquidity. Smart Money takes advantage of it.

You might think this is unfair while reading this. But this is simply how the world works.

Markets are not designed to be fair.They are designed to transfer money from the uninformed to the informed.

You have two options: you either join them or you get left behind. If you can’t beat them, join them.
