PSP Soup, 6-Hour PSP & Advanced Gems
Advanced PSP concepts — when to expect a PSP to get run, how to anticipate it, and how to use the 6-hour time frame to know which session is likely to expand.
PSP Soup — Anticipating the Run
Not every PSP holds. Some get ‘souped’ — the swing high or low gets run before the move happens. The asset that closes BULLISH in a bearish PSP is the stronger asset — more likely to get souped above. The asset closing BEARISH is the weaker one — less likely to get souped, better to enter on.
Reading Candle 3 for Early Warning
-
When candle 3 opens, watch its direction. If it heads toward the PSP high/low — do not enter yet.
-
Wait for it to displace AWAY from the PSP level before entering.
-
If it opens and aggressively moves toward the PSP before you can enter — it is likely being souped.
-
The soup itself often creates a sequential SMT — that SSMT is your actual entry.
The 6-Hour PSP
The 6-hour time frame condenses each daily cycle quarter into a single candle. A PSP on the 6-hour chart tells you which daily session is likely to be the reversal point — and the following session (candle 3 on the 6H) is where you look for the expansion.
-
Bearish 6H PSP during AM session (6:00 AM candle) → PM session likely distributes to AM session lows.
-
Bullish 6H PSP during London (midnight candle) → AM session likely distributes to London highs.
-
Across back-tested examples it holds up remarkably well — one of the cleanest bias tools in QT.
Know The Session
- When a PSP forms on the 6-hour and you know the next session’s direction — you’ve already done 80% of the work before the session even opens.
