Stage entails where your draw on liquidity is, higher time frame direction.

We will try and anticipate where price is reaching for at its current place.

The stage is usually defined by;

- the daily,

- 4H

- and the 60M

Everything that is above your ETF.

Price is fractal, so this concept can also apply to different phases.

The most important concept is to understand where that important level is. This will look as followed;

Everything prior to that Premium PDA on our higher timeframes will be considered to be a bullish stage, as we are anticipating price to move up until that level into premium areas.

Vice versa with a bearish stage, it will be the opposite, and draw liquidity to discount PDA's

Often enough, as mentioned in ‘The Model’, we will also have moments where the stage is unclear. And that we are left with just our Setup -> Pattern. Which is totally okay, as long as it doesn't become too aggressive against us.

The stage focuses on trying to participate in the expansions towards our draw on liquidity.
