The Swing Trade tCISD Model
For traders who want to capture the weekly or monthly range without being on the charts intraday. Same two concepts — different time frames.
Overview
This model requires the same two concepts as the Freedom Model but uses the weekly cycle (1H) for weekly range trades or the monthly cycle (4H) for monthly range trades. Designed for traders who cannot monitor intraday charts or prefer holding for days to weeks.
Stage 1 — Higher TF SSMT
Weekly range: on the 1-hour chart, wait for a weekly cycle SSMT between two consecutive days. One asset takes the previous day high or low, another fails.
Monthly range: on the 4-hour chart, wait for a monthly cycle SSMT between two consecutive weeks. One asset takes the previous week high or low, another fails.
Stage 2 — tCISD on the Same Time Frame
On the same time frame as the SSMT (1H for weekly, 4H for monthly): first candle to create the SSMT, correct closure rule, mark the open, wait for the close above/below, enter at the retest. Stop on the SSMT high/low.
Entry & Targets
-
Entry: retest of the tCISD body, OR first fair value gap that forms above/below the tCISD.
-
Stop: SSMT high or low — the true invalidation level.
-
Target: previous week/month high or low. Minimum 2R for shorter holds. Runner possible to HTF draw.
-
Partial at previous week high/low. Move stop to break even. Let the runner work toward the HTF draw.
Weekly cycle awareness: enter Monday, you have until Thursday before Q4 begins pulling price back. If your target is hit by Wed/Thu, exit or trail aggressively. Don’t hold into Friday — Friday’s job is to retrace back into the weekly range, not extend it.
Fractaledge
- The swing model proves the tCISD concept is fractal. Weekly SSMT on the 1-hour. 1-hour tCISD confirmation. Same logic as the 90-min model — different time frame, bigger target.
