Professional Trading: Setting Up Your Charts with Market Maker Analysis

When I'm teaching professional trading, I often notice that new traders become overwhelmed by information. The key is starting with a solid foundation. Today, I'll share my detailed process for setting up charts to track market maker activity.

Creating Your Anchor Point

Every successful trading day starts with proper setup. Here's my personal approach:

I always begin with the Asian session - it's crucial because it sets the market's tone for the day. Through years of trading, I've observed how the initial mood established during Asian trading often influences later sessions as markets open worldwide.

Understanding the PAT Indicator

My proprietary PAT indicator is unique - it's not available anywhere else and it's specifically designed to identify market maker activity. Here's what it shows us:

• Market maker accumulation boxes
• Manipulation zones
• Pressure points indicating support/resistance
• Areas of inherent weakness or strength

Detailed Chart Setup Process

Let me walk you through my exact setup process:

1. Start with the 30-minute timeframe (this is your anchor chart)
2. Use the horizontal ray tool for marking key levels
3. Identify the most recent accumulation box
4. Mark historical accumulation zones (I use orange for previous day, yellow for current)

In a recent trading session, this exact setup identified a move that yielded over 112 pips on EUR/JPY. The market moved precisely as the PAT indicator suggested, breaking from the accumulation zone and creating a perfect trading opportunity.

Synchronising Multiple Timeframes

One crucial aspect many traders miss is proper chart synchronisation. Here's my method:

1. Set up your 30-minute chart first
2. Use the global settings option - click 'new drawings will be synced globally'
3. Apply the same analysis to 15-minute and 5-minute charts
4. Keep your base analysis on the 30-minute chart - this is your hinge point

Fine-Tuning Your Settings

Recently, I made some adjustments to optimize the PAT indicator for current market conditions. While this isn't something you'll need to do often (perhaps once every few months), it's important to know how:

Under MM accumulation settings, I adjusted the standard from 5-8-8 to include 20. This modification helped capture important market maker activity in the current conditions without affecting historical analysis.

Understanding Thin Markets

Here's an analogy I use with my students: Think of the market like a ladder. In normal conditions, each rung represents a price level with active trading. In thin markets, some rungs are missing, creating 'voids'.

These voids often need to be filled, which explains why we see:

• Quick price movements in both directions
• 50% retrace of large moves
• Market 'checking' previous levels

Low-Risk Entry Strategy

When I spot potential setups, I follow this process:

1. Start with 30-minute analysis for context
2. Move to 15-minute for trend confirmation
3. Use 5-minute chart for precise entry
4. Look for specific patterns (like V-shapes) at support/resistance

Remember - I'm not trading shapes on a chart. I'm trading based on understanding market maker activity and context.

Common Trading Mistakes to Avoid

One costly error I see traders make is treating this like a breakout strategy. Let me be clear: blindly trading breakouts will cost you money through:

• False breakouts
• Whipsaw losses
• Inconsistent results

Instead, focus on understanding market maker activity and their business model.
