| 1 | Market Structure | CRITICAL | structure- |
| 2 | Liquidity Mapping | CRITICAL | liquidity- |
| 3 | Order Blocks & POIs | HIGH | orderblock- |

Quick Reference
1. Market Structure (CRITICAL)
structure-identification- HTF to LTF trend identification with BOS/CDC/CHoCHstructure-strong-weak-points- Identify strong lows and weak highs
2. Liquidity Mapping (CRITICAL)
liquidity-mapping- Map BSL, SSL, IRL, ERL before identifying POIsliquidity-inducement- Recognize false BOS and retail trapsliquidity-killzones- Best session times for trading
3. Order Blocks & POIs (HIGH)
orderblock-validation- Three requirements: momentum, imbalance, locationorderblock-poi-hierarchy- Extremo vs Decisional POI classification
4. Premium / Discount (HIGH)
premium-discount-zones- Divide range at 50% for buy/sell zones
5. CRT - Candle Range Theory (CRITICAL)
crt-cycle- Reference candle, manipulation, expansion protocolcrt-range-types- Intra TS, Pendiente, Reiniciada, Previa, Completadacrt-pdm- Punto de Máxima Decisión validation sequencecrt-fractal-execution- H4 direction, M15 trap, M1 entrycrt-double-liquidity-sweep- Wait for two sweeps, enter after second
6. SMT Divergence (MEDIUM)
smt-divergence- Correlated asset comparison for manipulation confirmation
7. Time & Price (MEDIUM)
time-price-alignment- Timeframe hierarchy and session timing
8. IPDA Cycles (MEDIUM)
ipda-cycles- 20-40-60 day rebalancing windows
9. Risk Management (HIGH)
risk-management- Position sizing, max losses, minimum R:R
Output Format
Structure every SMC+CRT analysis as:
- HTF Structure — Current trend, BOS/CDC levels
- Liquidity Map — BSL/SSL pools, EQH/EQL, inducement
- Key POIs — OBs validated with momentum + imbalance + location
- Premium/Discount — Position within range
- CRT Reading — Recent candle range setups, sweep status
- SMT Check — Correlated asset divergence
- Bias + Levels — Direction, entry, SL, TP
Core Mental Model
- Top-down analysis — Always start from HTF, drill down to LTF
- Liquidity first — Map all liquidity BEFORE identifying POIs
- Smart money leaves footprints — OBs, FVGs, and sweeps reveal institutional intent
- Wait for confirmation — Double sweep + SMT + rejection, not single signals
