Dealer Action Flow Trader

Introduction to Dealer Action Flow (DAF)

Dealer Action Flow (DAF) is a professional trading system focused on cryptocurrency, with the core idea being: to construct a simple and efficient trading process by recognizing dealer behavior and gaining insights into market structure.

Design principles of the system:
Simplicity: Avoid redundant indicators and complex logic; all judgments should remain intuitive and clear.
Multidimensional framework: Different time levels play their respective roles; high dimensions determine direction, while low dimensions are responsible for validation and execution.
Structure priority: All decisions revolve around market structure rather than noise-driven short-term fluctuations.
Consistent execution: Entry, take profit, and stop loss follow unified rules to avoid arbitrary and emotional operations.

DAF summarizes dealer behavior at different stages of the market, forming four core models:
Accumulation: Identifying bottom accumulation and trend starting points.
Distribution: Capturing top distribution and trend endpoints.
Manipulation reversal: Gaining insights into false breakouts and trend traps.
Structural breakthrough: Confirming trend continuation under dealer dominance.

Whether it's trend, swing, short-term, or intraday trading, DAF provides a top-down unified approach:
Establish directional assumptions → Determine the macro environment and market bias.
Validation and confirmation → Identify real and false actions.
Execution and risk control → Complete the trading loop under clear structure.

The ultimate goal of DAF is to help traders maintain rationality in a rapidly changing market, understand dealer intentions, seize key points, and achieve maximum certainty with minimal actions.

#ETH HTF (4 hours) has broken below this week's and last week's VAH and this week's POC, VWAP, indicating a strong bearish trend.

As shown in the figure:

#ETH This is a continuation of the previous two short positions. In the previous two trades, I chose to exit with a stop loss early. After that, I observed that the price could not break above 4611 and that capital was obviously fleeing, confirming a false breakout again. Based on the previous bearish logic, and with the position at the edge of VAH, it is a good position to enter a trade, so I entered at market price 4591.07.
Those who did not enter can place a limit order to see if they can get in.

#ETH Both orders were lost, I've surrendered.

#ETH Price broke through 4600 at 4 PM, getting a ticket early is not a good habit, if the direction is right, you make more, if the direction is wrong, you expand losses. Binance's short position has already stopped out during the pullback, although I determine it as a false breakout, but the market's fluctuations must control risk. Byb's short position is still in, entered at 4560, I think it's necessary to gamble. If it goes down directly from here, Byb's short position profits can compensate for Binance's short position losses. If the price continues to rise, it is likely to challenge this week's VAH 4666, so I will enter another short position at 4666, stop loss at 4695.

New trading plan:
Entry: 4660～4666
Stop loss: 4695
TP1 (50%): 4460
TP2 (30%): 4300
TP3 (20%): 4155

#ETH triggered 3 LTF failure signals, the risk of short positions is rapidly increasing, the last line of defense is to break and hold yesterday's POC4600. Once it breaks and holds above 4600, short positions will need to retreat.

#ETH Some students do not know how to find entry points, but I have mentioned them all in my notes.
Last week's VAH 4625, this week's POC 4599, and this week's VWAP 4564 are all points to short, and interestingly, the Fibonacci retracement levels of 0.5, 0.618, and 0.786 are also closely overlapping with these points.

#ETH Woke up to see that a bearish trend has formed, I have already entered a short position, and then I just need to add to the short position on any highs.

GM, Americans love to stir things up between 3 and 4 AM. Who can stay up every day like this???

Yesterday's trades were very representative. My analytical logic at that time was:

1️⃣4300 = August POC (Anchor Touch), a key position that is hard to break.
2️⃣Single-day long liquidation of 31.5M (Liquidity Exhaustion), the market needs to reverse and liquidate shorts.
3️⃣Cumulative drop of 647 points (ReAlign), entering the 50%~70% rebound range, expected 300–400 point recovery.

Based on these three points, I entered a long position and successfully profited ✅

Today, I officially define these three phenomena as:
Anchor Touch
Liquidity Exhaustion
ReAlign

They will serve as HTF bias signals in the DAF strategy to guide the general direction.

I have systematically organized this market behavior and defined a specific name — ReAlign (Re-fix)

Definition
ReAlign refers to the repair movement where prices, after experiencing extreme fluctuations, enter the 50%–70% range due to inertia. The market, through this spontaneous adjustment, gradually returns prices to a relatively balanced level.

Characteristics
Calculation Basis: Take the starting and ending points of extreme market conditions, which can be represented by a single large daily candlestick or continuous 2–3 days of unilateral fluctuations.
Value Reference: ETH: A cumulative drop of 600–800 points constitutes extreme fluctuations, followed by a typical recovery of 300–400 points.
Other cryptocurrencies (BTC, SOL, BNB, etc.) need to set reference ranges based on their respective volatility characteristics.

Forms of Expression
Rebounds after a significant drop.
Retracements after a significant rise.
Price oscillates towards balance when it reaches the 50%–70% range.

Market Significance
ReAlign is a repair-type market phenomenon.
It does not rely on liquidity indicators but is based on statistical laws of price behavior.
It reveals the market's characteristic of automatically 'realigning' after extreme fluctuations.
It should not be used as a single trading signal.

#ETH Yesterday's forecast predicted a drop from the highest point of 4957 to the lowest point of 4310, with a total decline of 647 points. Typically, in such cases, there will be a relative rebound of 50% to 70%, which is about 300-400 points. In reality, the rebound from the lowest point of 4310 to the highest point of 4632 totaled 322 points. This viewpoint has accurately predicted for the second time, but remember it cannot be used as the only trading signal.

GM, TP4 also hit, but I was too tired last night so I didn't wait, I took the profits and went to sleep. I hope the family made money. #ETH

#ETH I have fully closed my positions, secured my profits and gone to sleep, afraid of overnight risks. Good night, we will fight again tomorrow.

#ETH TP3 hit, TP4 can cancel and wait patiently, high probability to challenge 4700.

#ETH TP1 and TP2 have already taken profit, currently there is a possibility of a false breakout at the 4530 level. If it breaks below today's VAH 4448 and the bounce does not break, it will be time to shift to a bearish outlook.
