How To Trade Like The Institutions

I wanted to prove that you can genuenly use some good trading concepts to catch trades in the market. The market is chaotic, but it's not totally random. It's an efficient market that tries to price everything as well as possible!

I used the Volume Profile from the session before the pump to find out value area (where there is most liquidity). Furthermore I found a Low Volume Node. This is a place where there is little liquidity, I know that price will shoot through this level to the next level of liquidity!

I furthermore detected some bearish Order Blocks to aim for as I am looking for longs.

The reason you would be looking for longs, is because that price was trading above the 4H value line (center of contraction). This is typically a higher low, followed by a lower high (or vice versa).

Another important aspect is to go to a lower timeframe, where you can react faster to changes in momentum. Here I used the 15m timeframe to draw more value lines.
Whenever price is below a value line for the smaller timeframe, but above the one for the higher timeframe, we wait for momentum to give us a long.
The changes in momentum for longs are marked in the circles.

By doing this, you can accumulate a lot of good setups. Your targets are typically the high levels of liquidity of the volume profile, the value area and the bearish orderblocks.
Make sure to also look for imbalances, I have linked a previous setup where this was done.
