Core Concepts
Front Leg Trading
Trading what is being built in the current moment using internal structure and order flow
Front leg trading focuses on the most recent price action and internal structure rather than historical levels. While expectation order flow provides the broad directional bias based on swing structure, the front leg uses internal structure and internal order flow to capitalize on intraday movements. The emphasis is on what is currently happening rather than what happened to the left. The 4-hour timeframe serves as the anchor, and front leg analysis is applied to what is happening within that 4-hour context. This approach keeps traders focused and prevents distraction from historical levels that may no longer be relevant.
✓How to Recognize
- •Focus on the most recent structural developments (internal highs/lows)
- •Internal structure breaks and order flow shifts on lower timeframes
- •Current supply and demand zones being respected or failing
- •IRL and ERL being targeted in the current move
⚡How to Avoid
- →Being distracted by old levels far to the left of current price
- →Ignoring the 4-hour anchor timeframe context
- →Trading internal structure against the higher timeframe direction
- →Overcomplicating with too many historical catalyst-for-pullback levels
