Our method
Four steps from chart to ratio
Every program at SenseFlow Analysis House follows the same framework. The steps are sequential — you cannot calculate a meaningful ratio until context is read.
Most trading education separates chart reading from risk management. You learn patterns in one course and position sizing in another. We combine them because the ratio only makes sense when tied to a specific level on a specific chart at a specific time.
The SenseFlow framework was developed from twelve years of floor analysis in Hanoi and refined through hundreds of workshop sessions since 2019.
Establish context across timeframes
Begin on the daily chart. Mark the current range, the most recent swing high and low, and where today's session opened relative to yesterday's close. Drop to the four-hour and one-hour charts only after the daily structure is clear. Context answers: where is price within the larger move, and which timeframe is governing current behaviour?
Identify the invalidation level
Before considering entry, mark the price at which your read of the chart is wrong. This is not a stop-loss placed by habit — it is the structural level that, if breached, means the context you identified no longer holds. On a long setup, this might be the prior swing low. On a range trade, it might be the opposite boundary of the range.
Map the reward target from structure
The reward target comes from the chart, not from a fixed multiplier. Look for the next structural level in the direction of the trade — a prior swing high, a range midpoint, a session open. If no clear level exists within a reasonable distance, the trade may not offer adequate reward for the risk defined in step two.
Calculate, document, and decide
With entry zone, invalidation, and target marked, calculate the ratio. Write it on the worksheet: entry price, stop price, target price, and the resulting ratio. If the ratio falls below your minimum threshold — we teach 1:1.5 as a starting minimum — the correct decision is to stand aside. Document the decision either way.
When to stand aside
Standing aside is a core skill, not a failure. Common situations where we teach participants to skip the trade:
- Price is in the middle of the prior day's range with no clear directional context
- The nearest reward target is closer than 1.5 times the risk to invalidation
- Multiple timeframes show conflicting structure
- A high-impact news event is scheduled within the expected trade duration
Learn the method in practice
The framework is taught through live markup, not slides. In the workshop, you apply all four steps to current charts during market hours and receive feedback on your markup from the instructor and the group.
