T J R T R A D E S . C O M | W O R K B O O K “YOU ARE THE PRODUCT OF YOUR ACTIONS. NOT YOUR PARENTS. NOT YOUR ENVIRONMENT. THE MOMENT YOU TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR RESULTS, YOU TAKE FULL CONTROL OF YOUR FUTURE.” T R A D I N G C O M B I N E – TJR T R A D I N G C O M B I N E T J R T R A D E S | T H E C O M B I N E W O R K B O O K WELCOME This event will be a game-changer if you take it seriously. Over the next few days, I’m going to walk you through the exact process that took me from confused and broke to becoming a consistently profitable trader. You’re going to learn how the market actually moves, not the fantasy you see on YouTube and how to trade with confidence, precision, and control. Here’s what the next few days look like: Day one is all about strategy and understanding charts. I’ll show you how trading actually works, how we make money, and how to predict where price wants to go. These are the same confluences and setups I trade every day. You’ll learn the building blocks of a professional trader: identifying liquidity, reading market structure, and spotting key setups. By the end, you’ll start seeing the charts the way pros do. Day two is where it gets deep. We’re going to cover the two hardest, but most important, parts of becoming profitable: risk management and psychology. I’ll show you how to protect your account, manage risk like a professional, and fix the mindset mistakes that keep 98% of traders stuck. You’ll learn how to stay disciplined, remove fear, and trade with the confidence that comes from repetition and consistency. Day three, I’m bringing in some special guests and top students who’ve gone through this exact system. They’ll share how they turned it into real results, passing funded accounts, quitting jobs, and changing their lives. For those who don’t know me, I’m Tyler. I used to be exactly where you are: blowing up accounts, chasing signals, and wondering what I was missing. I lost over a hundred grand before I stopped listening to the noise and figured out what actually works. And that’s what I’m about to give you... the blueprint that changed everything for me. So stay locked in. Show up for yourself every day. Take notes, ask questions, and don’t let distractions pull you out of this. By the end of this event, you’ll have the foundation to trade with real confidence and a proven path to follow. Let’s get to work. – TJR 3 T J R T R A D E S | T H E C O M B I N E W O R K B O O K 4 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E DAY ONE THE GOAL OF TRADING 01 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 Buy one share of Apple → sell it for a profit or loss Traders do this at scale using leverage ( options and futures ). We execute through brokerages ( e g ., Hero ) and funded accounts ( e g ., Alpha ). You can also sell one share of Apple and buy it back later for a gain This is short selling HOW YOU MAKE MONEY We ’ re trying to predict where price wants to go with high probability No trader is 100 % accurate It ’ s all about probability and risk control Pattern recognition – spotting repeated price behaviors Strategy – structured rules for entering and exiting trades Experience – thousands of hours watching price movement HOW WE BUILD PROBABILITY WHAT IS TRADING? 5 Strategy – knowing what to trade and when Risk Management – knowing how much to risk Psychology – staying consistent under pressure THE 3 CORE SKILLS OF EVERY PROFITABLE TRADER Most traders over - prioritize strategy It ’ s the most exciting part , but it also takes the longest to truly understand That ’ s where we ’ ll start : Strategy and understanding charts WHERE WE BEGIN WITHOUT MASTERING ALL THREE, YOU WILL FAIL EVERY TIME. 6 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 Every confluence applies to every timeframe ; price is fractal Liquidity = where orders are resting ( buyers / sellers ). Our goal is to understand where liquidity sits and how institutions use it PREFACE IDENTIFYING LIQUIDITY The confluences you ’ re about to learn increase probability , not guarantee wins Used at the wrong times or in the wrong context , they become useless Our goal : learn when and how to apply each one correctly STRATEGY 02 THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPT ON THE CHARTS. 7 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 Highs and lows mark liquidity Uptrend : higher highs and higher lows Downtrend : lower highs and lower lows Retail example : retail traders often buy above highs and sell below lows → institutions use this to fill large orders in the opposite direction HOW TO SPOT LIQUIDITY : Significant Highs / Lows – structural turning points Session Highs / Lows – key liquidity points formed during London , NY , or Asia sessions 1hr and 4hr Highs / Lows – broader market levels Equal Highs / Lows – double tops or bottoms ( liquidity magnets ). R elative Equal Highs / Lows – near - equal zones that attract orders or sell every time a high is taken — that ’ s why we use multiple confluences 8 TYPES OF LIQUIDITY ZONES : WE DON’T BUY EVERY TIME A LOW IS SWEPT... T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 High Resistance Liquidity : A recent sweep that ’ s already caused a move Harder for price to push through Low Resistance Liquidity : Stacked liquidity that ’ s easy for price to target “ More orders = more momentum .” Rule of thumb : Trade away from high resistance liquidity Trade toward low resistance liquidity HIGH VS LOW RESISTANCE LIQUIDITY : Order Flow : the current direction of market movement Beak of structure confirms a change in order flow 9 02 BREAK OF STRUCTURE ( BOS ) HOW TRENDS SHIFT AND ORDER FLOW CHANGES. T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 Must close above / below the most recent high or low BOS alone means nothing It gains power when confirmed by other confluences HOW TO IDENTIFY : 1 Determine the current trend 2 Mark the high or low that must break to shift trend direction 3 Wait for a candle closure above or below that level Taking liquidity , or Filling imbalances ( FVGs ). FVGs represent inefficient price movement Price is always either looking to take out draws on liquidity or fill imbalances in the market 10 FAIR VALUE GAPS ( FVGS ) THE MARKET ALWAYS SEEKS BALANCE. T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 Invalid FVGs ( IFVGs ) occur when structure shifts before fill We ’ ll use them later to identify trend reversals HOW TO IDENTIFY : 1 Look for a 3 - candle pattern showing an imbalance 2 Multiple FVGs can stack — price often reacts to the first , then balances others 3 Once an FVG is filled and reacts off external liquidity → it ’ s now balanced PRICE IS EITHER : Bullish → measure from low to high Bearish → measure from high to low Discounted areas ( below 50 %) → where to buy Premium areas ( above 50 %) → where to sell 11 EQUILIBRIUM ( EQ ) SHOWS PREMIUM & DISCOUNT PRICE ZONES. T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 EQ HELPS YOU SEE : IDENTIFY THE TREND OR ORDER FLOW : The opposite of an FVG — shows a reversal instead of continuation Treated the same way as BOS When multiple FVGs are stacked , wait for the highest or lowest one to get invalidated before confirming a shift INVALID FAIR VALUE GAPS ( IFVG ) SIGNAL A CHANGE IN ORDER FLOW. Compares two indexes ( e g ., NAS100 and SPX ) to predict which one will follow Works only when paired with liquidity sweeps When one index sweeps liquidity but the other doesn ’ t → the lagging one is likely to follow the leader ’ s move ⚠ SMT is not a trade entry by itself It ’ s a bias confirmation tool 12 SMT DIVERGENCE FOR LIQUIDITY SWEEPS. T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 Use Fibonacci like EQ If price closes above or below the 79 % extension , order flow often reverses Used as a last resort when other confluences aren ’ t visible 79 % EXTENSION ( FIB CONFLUENCE ) WHEN GAPS OR BOS AREN’T CLEAR. T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 13 DAILY PROFILES HOW WE FORM A DAILY BIAS. Watching previous session highs / lows Identifying liquidity manipulations Prioritizing trades away from high resistance liquidity and toward low resistance liquidity Think : Which cookie is easier to grab and where are there more cookies ? LDN Manipulation → NY Reversal LDN Manipulation + Reversal → NY Continuation LDN Consolidation → NY Manipulation + Reversal PRICE TYPICALLY FOLLOWS ONE OF THREE SESSION PROFILES EACH DAY : WE DETERMINE PROFILE BY : THE SET UP 03 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 1 🇬🇧 LONDON SESSION → 8 : 00 AM – 1 : 30 PM GMT 🇯🇵 ASIA SESSION → 8 : 00 AM – 5 : 00 PM JST 🇺🇸 NEW YORK PRE - MARKET → 8 : 30 – 9 : 30 AM EST 🇺🇸 NEW YORK OPEN → 9 : 30 AM EST 📊 MACRO WINDOW → 9 : 50 – 10 : 10 AM EST 14 IMPORTANT TIMES TO TRADE CONFLUENCE GROUPINGS PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER. 1 Liquidity Sweep → must happen first 2 SMT Divergence → supports the liquidity sweep 3 Confirmation Confluences ( change of order flow ): BOS , IFVG , 79 % Extension 4 Continuation Confluences ( trend continuation ): FVG , EQ T J R T R A D E S | T H E C O M B I N E W O R K B O O K 15 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E DAY TWO 04 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 2 These two skills are simple in theory , but the hardest to master in practice They work hand in hand : one manages your money , the other manages your mind Without strategy , risk management , and psychology , you cannot become a consistent trader RISK MANAGEMENT 16 THE GOAL ISN’T TO WIN EVERY TRADE IT’S TO STAY IN THE GAME LONG ENOUGH TO WIN BIG OVER TIME. Rule of Thumb : Risk only 1 – 3 % of your account per trade The goal is to live to trade another day Never risk amounts that could wipe out your account or destroy your confidence If you get emotional about wins or losses , you ’ re trading too big If you ’ re excited when you win or angry when you lose , size down Don ’ t trade money you aren ’ t willing to lose Trading capital = tuition for your growth , not money for bills If you want this to become a full - time career , treat it like one Expand your time horizon Day trading won ’ t make you rich overnight , but it can change your life over time Focus on process , not outcome Consistency compounds 17 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 2 I once turned $ 10 , 000 → $ 112 , 000 in two days ... then lost it all the next day That ’ s when I learned : you will never make a “ quick big flip ” and keep it Sustainable profits come from controlled risk , not luck EXAMPLE YOUR RISK TOLERANCE PROFESSIONAL MINDSET KEY STATS TO TRACK EXAMPLE 05 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 2 A trading journal helps you track both data and decisions It gives you a black - and - white record of your performance in a gray , emotional game Most traders quit because they feel stuck , journaling shows real progress Win Rate ( WR ) – percentage of winning trades Risk - Reward Ratio ( RR ) – how much you make vs how much you risk TRADING JOURNAL 18 YOU CAN’T IMPROVE WHAT YOU DON’T MEASURE. Even with a 50 % win rate , a 1 : 2 RR = consistent profit WR + RR = Profitability Formula Bias – What was your expectation before taking the trade ? Confluences – What factors aligned for your setup ? Entry – Why did you enter where you did ? Exit – Why did you close where you did ? Emotions – What were you feeling before , during , and after ? 19 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 2 WHAT TO JOURNAL NOT JUST IN THE CHARTS. THE GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY PATTERNS IN YOUR THINKING Pinpoints psychological errors and recurring mistakes Shows your growth curve , even when P & L doesn ’ t Creates accountability and discipline HOW JOURNALING HELPS RECOMMENDED TOOL : TRADEZELLA Connects directly to your brokerage Auto - imports your trades and stats Lets you tag setups , record psychology notes , and track improvement Create your strategy and risk management profile inside the platform PROFITABILITY TIMELINE 06 T R A D I N G C O M B I N E | D A Y 0 2 80 % of traders fail because they lack discipline , not knowledge Psychology is the bridge between knowing and doing It ’ s what keeps you from self - sabotaging when emotions take over Success in trading = mastering yourself more than mastering the market THE TRUTH You will not get rich overnight You can get rich faster than you think You just have to stop expecting it instantly 98 % of traders fail because they quit too soon 80 % of traders quit within their first year Just by staying consistent , you ’ re already ahead of most people PSYCHOLOGY 20
