A visual from the Trading Spoonfeed method

BOS and MSS describe structural information, not guaranteed buy or sell signals. Both need market context.

What to remember

  • BOS commonly describes a break within an existing structural move.
  • MSS suggests market control may be changing more significantly.
  • Ask where liquidity, displacement, and invalidation are before acting.
Structure tells the story; risk decides whether the story is tradable.

Trading is probabilistic. No setup guarantees a result, and this guide is educational rather than financial advice. Build a process, define risk before entry, and review your decisions honestly.
