Strategy overview

In Smart Money Concepts, liquidity refers to the pools of resting orders sitting above obvious highs and below obvious lows, and the way price is drawn toward them before turning. What distinguishes this entry is not the concept but the framing: the source video presents the approach as a *mechanical* system — a written plan the trader claims to follow rather than a set of chart patterns to interpret in the moment.

The structure behind that claim is a three-timeframe division of labour, and each timeframe is given one job rather than a vote. The Daily chart is where the range is drawn and where the liquidity that matters is located; the 15-minute chart carries the bias, deciding which side of that range the session is likely to work toward; and the 1-minute chart exists only for execution once the higher-timeframe question has already been answered. Notably, the video's own running order puts bias before liquidity — bias is discussed within the first minute, range liquidity after it — which reverses the usual teaching sequence and suggests the daily range is being used to confirm a directional view rather than to generate one.

The video is delivered in Spanish by Powi Trading, uses price action alone with no indicator overlay, and organises the whole method into a five-step plan. No rule set was extracted from this source, so this page documents the concept and the timeframe architecture the video describes rather than a decoded set of entry and exit conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Daily, 15-minute and 1-minute structure do in an SMC strategy?

It splits the decision into layers so that no single chart answers every question: the Daily timeframe frames the range and locates liquidity, the 15-minute timeframe establishes directional bias within that frame, and the 1-minute timeframe is used only to time execution once direction is already decided.

What does it mean for a trading strategy to be 'mechanical'?

A mechanical strategy is one where the conditions are written down in advance so the same chart produces the same decision every time, leaving as little as possible to in-the-moment judgement. The source video organises its method as a five-step plan for this reason.

Does this approach use indicators?

No — it is a price-action approach. The daily range and the liquidity around it are read directly from the candles, without an indicator overlay on the chart.

How can I evaluate a multi-timeframe SMC approach like this one?

Test it on historical data across all the timeframes it depends on, since a Daily-range bias behaves very differently from a 1-minute entry and each layer needs its own scrutiny.
