We map the market using Auction Market Theory. First we define Value (VAH/VAL + POC) to understand fair price. Then we highlight Premium and Discount zones where reactions usually happen. Finally we publish scenarios based on Acceptance vs Rejection: acceptance means price holds and continues; rejection means price fails and rotates back to value.
We use Auction Market Theory (AMT) to map the market before the New York session.
1) Define Value (Fair Price)
We identify Value Area (VAH/VAL) and POC to know where the market accepted price.
2) Mark Premium & Discount Zones
Above value = Premium (Sell Zone)
Below value = Discount (Buy Zone)
3) Build Scenarios (Acceptance vs Rejection)
✅ Acceptance = price holds outside value → continuation
❌ Rejection = price fails outside value → rotation back to value
Every day we publish a clear plan for NQ, ES, and GC with key levels, scenarios, and invalidation.
Use the map to stay objective and avoid emotional trading.
