Core Concepts
POI Selection
The process of choosing the highest-probability supply and demand zones to trade from
POI (Point of Interest) selection is the framework for filtering which supply and demand zones to trade. Since zones exist everywhere on a chart, selection criteria determine which ones are strongest. The four primary criteria are: Extreme POI (at the base of a structural range), Liquidity POI (sweeps liquidity during formation), Supply/Demand Chain (orders stacked from previous same-type zone), and Zone Flip (orders transferred from failed opposite zone). Each criterion adds probability. Stacking multiple criteria on a single zone creates the highest-confidence setups.
✓How to Recognize
- •Extreme: zone sits at the base of a structural range
- •Liquidity: zone swept structural liquidity as it formed
- •Chain: zone formed after interacting with a previous same-type zone
- •Flip: zone formed from a failed opposite zone interaction
⚡How to Avoid
- →Trading every supply and demand zone without selection criteria
- →Relying on a single confluence when multiple are available
- →Ignoring the 3-5 chain warning (profit-taking vs order execution)
- →Confusing a structure break with a zone flip (flips require interaction)
