Continuation
Alignment + targetLook for continuation after a pullback or trapped positioning, with room for the move to develop.
THE MTF SYSTEM / BY TC888
Read the context.
Trade the decision.
You know the setups. The challenge is deciding which market deserves your attention, when the conditions are right, and when to stay out. The MTF System connects those decisions into a process you can define, follow and review.
Clarity first. Execution second.

THE METHOD
A framework for the entire trade.
A familiar setup appears. One timeframe supports it. Another makes you hesitate. You enter early—or keep watching until the opportunity has passed.
Thesis Generation → Session Screening → Entry Screening → Trade Management. Four steps from preparing a scenario to managing the trade.
Understand the system01 / THESIS GENERATION
Build the thesis before the session.
Read the broader market context. Define the potential play, key levels and what would invalidate your view.
“His system taught me how to read price action with context, how to anchor decisions…”
THREE CORE PLAYS
Three plays. One decision framework.
Read the wider market, identify where a setup could develop, and wait for confirmation before entering. The MTF System combines multi-timeframe structure, session timing and trapped positioning to help you choose the market, define the opportunity and know when to pass.
Parabolic Expansion
Compression + acceptanceLook for expansion after compression and imbalance, supported by acceptance.
Reversal
Exhaustion + rejectionLook for exhaustion, failed continuation or structural breakdown, with confirmation of a change in control.
