About
The BEYOND CLOUDS mind map template is a comprehensive trading framework designed for price action traders, covering over 100 nodes across four main branches: METHOD, PROCESS, PSYCHOLOGY, and ABBREVIATIONS. It provides a structured approach to analyzing trends, entries, and exits, with specific techniques like 'TREND IS YOUR FRIEND' broken down into monthly and weekly timeframes, and entry methods including 'RET' (retracement) and 'DAILY' setups. The template also includes a detailed PROCESS section with 'PTT/TTP' (Plan the Trade & Trade the Plan), tools like 'SR' (support/resistance) and 'CANDLES' patterns (e.g., 'BEOB', 'BUOB', 'DBHLC'), and a glossary of 40+ abbreviations such as 'BEOB-BEARISH OUTSIDE BAR' and 'BRN-BIG ROUND NUMBER'. This BEYOND CLOUDS cheat sheet serves as a practical reference for traders seeking to systematize their decision-making and improve consistency.
