CLS Model 1 - 100% Mechanical Trading setup

Mar 13

Hey traders,

In this video I’m breaking down a CLS Model 1 setup on GBPUSD and explaining the exact structure behind the trade. It was this trading idea.

The whole idea is based on the framework shown in the chart below. Every element of the model must align before taking the entry.

📀 Key components of the CLS Model 1:

• A clearly defined CLS Range
• A strong key level above the range
• Premium / Discount positioning
• Manipulation of liquidity above the range
• A close back inside the range after the manipulation
• Accumulation Asia - Manipulation London ...
• A valid order block for the entry location

Once these conditions are present, the objective of Model 1 is simple:

🎯 Target = 50% of the CLS Range Another important factor is that this trade was not taken randomly.
It was executed in alignment with the higher timeframe bias, which had already been anticipated in the previous analysis.

When the higher timeframe direction and the CLS structure align, the setup becomes much cleaner and easier to execute.

I promised myself I’d become the person I once needed the most as a beginner. Below are links to a powerful lessons I shared on Tradingview. Hope it can help you avoid years of trial and error I went thru.
