Practice and research.

You already have your own trading method — Breakout, Moving Averages, Elliott Wave, SMC, ICT... Market State adds one more layer to your decisions:

  • At this price level, which side is in control of the market?
  • What is the current energy threshold, and what is the next one ahead?
  • How does price usually react when it hits a threshold, or enters the upcoming energy zone?

These perspectives help you time entries, assess the risk of entering or holding, and size your positions. Each symbol and timeframe reacts differently at energy levels — traders should research in depth.
