Solving the Price Action Puzzle | 2EL & Higher Low Retest Breakdown

HPS at KEP = High probability setup at Key entry point

HPS at KEP Framework

HPS at KEP Framework

Welcome to the official framework guide for HPS at KEP (High Probability Setups at Key Entry Points).

This methodology is built on a single, uncompromising principle: No indicators. No noise. Just pure price action and bar-by-bar chart reading.

The goal of this framework is to strip away lagging indicators and teach traders how to read market structure, context, and institutional order flow directly from the price bars.


🏛️ Core Principles of the Methodology

1. Pure Price Action (Bar-by-Bar Reading)

Indicators lag; price leads. The framework evaluates every single price bar based on its open, high, low, close, and context relative to preceding bars. Understanding signal bars, entry bars, and market momentum allows us to anticipate price movement rather than react to lagging signals.

2. Context First, Setup Second

A setup without context is a trap. Before looking for an entry, we determine the broader market context:

  • Is the market in a strong trend, a trading range, or a channel?
  • Are we testing key support/resistance zones or EMA dynamic levels?
  • Are major players trapping overextended buyers or sellers?

3. Key Entry Points (KEP)

A Key Entry Point is a high-confluence location on the chart where risk is minimal and reward is asymmetrical. We identify KEP using:

  • Trendlines & Parallel Channels: Identifying micro and macro channel boundaries.
  • Macro-to-Micro Swing Analysis: Counting swings from major structural highs and lows to measure market fatigue.
  • Failure & Trap Zones: Exploiting weak breakouts, bull/bear traps, and failed retests.

4. High Probability Setups (HPS)

Once price reaches a Key Entry Point, we look for validated price action patterns:

  • Second Entry Longs / Shorts: High-probability continuation and reversal entries following a failed first attempt.
  • Failed Breakout Reversals: Capitalizing on false moves at key channel boundaries.
  • 21 EMA Retests: Structured pullbacks within strong trending markets.

🎯 Risk & Execution Philosophy

Trading success relies 20% on analysis and 80% on execution and discipline. The HPS at KEP framework incorporates strict risk management principles inspired by trading psychology classics like Trading in the Zone and Best Loser Wins:

  • Strict Risk Control: Risk is defined before entering any trade based on the signal bar structure.
  • Accepting the Loss: Outliers and small losses are a natural cost of doing business. We focus on being the "best loser" by cutting invalidated setups immediately.
  • Process over Outcome: Every trade execution is judged on adherence to the rules, not the short-term financial outcome.
