The video presents a mechanical method for distinguishing between internal and external lows/highs within Smart Money Concepts (SMC) market structure, focusing on the EURUSD 1-hour chart. Two primary rules are established: an external low/high must first trigger a Break of Structure (BoS) or Change of Character (ChoCH), and it must subsequently take internal liquidity. The speaker demonstrates how failing to apply these rules can lead to mislabeling structures and flawed trading decisions. An example is shown where a bullish trend confirms an external low (at 1.1556) by breaking above a previous high (BoS at 1.1620), then a subsequent BoS at 1.1680. During a pullback, despite several local lows forming, they are considered internal until they sweep underlying liquidity. The true external low is confirmed after a significant sweep of internal liquidity and then a subsequent break above an existing high. This confirmed external low is then used as a valid anchor point for Fibonacci retracements to identify Optimal Trade Entry (OTE) zones, typically between the 0.62 and 0.79 levels. The analysis stresses that a confirmed external low is critical for identifying high-probability long opportunities in an uptrend, or short opportunities in a downtrend, ensuring that trades are taken from discounted (for buys) or premium (for sells) price regions. The strategy emphasizes patience and adherence to structural rules to avoid acting on minor, internal price fluctuations.
