If you treat every trading day the same, you are gambling. The market follows a rhythmic heartbeat known as the **Weekly Profile**. Data shows that for a Bullish Weekly Candle, the **"Low of the Week"** is usually formed on **Tuesday** (or early Wednesday).
This guide will decode the **"Calendar Algorithm"** so you know exactly when to push the gas and when to practice **institutional risk discipline**.
1. The Weekly Profile: OHLC Logic
The market executes a systematic pattern based on the week's **Open-High-Low-Close (OHLC)**.
**The Golden Rule:** If you are **Bullish** for the week, you want to buy **below** the Weekly Opening Price, preferably after the initial **Manipulation** (The Low).

2. The Tuesday Manipulation (Judas Swing)
**"Never trust Monday."** Monday is low volume, often just **Accumulation**. **Tuesday** is the **Low of the Week** due to intentional **Manipulation**.

3. Strategy: Trading the Weekly Profile (The SOP)
The safest strategy is to **wait for the manipulation** and **enter on the reversal**. This requires discipline to **sit on your hands** on Monday.

4. Final Thoughts on Institutional Risk
**Wednesday and Thursday** usually offer the cleanest, strongest trends (**Expansion Mode**). **Friday** is typically **profit-taking** (Bankers closing positions).
- **Risk Rule:** **Never trade against the Weekly Profile.** A good trade on Monday might fail; the same setup on Tuesday/Wednesday might fly.
- **Economic Calendar:** **Always check the calendar.** High-impact news (FOMC / CPI) can delay the Low of the Week from Tuesday to Wednesday.
- **Execution:** Use proper lot size and risk management. Verify RR using the Risk & Reward Calculator.
Final Thoughts
Align your technicals with the **Weekly Profile**, and you will stop fighting the natural rhythm of the market. This discipline is essential for **institutional risk management**. Monitor the structural flow of the market via the Realtime Market Dashboard.
