Market Structure
Market Structure
Market structure represents the collective behavior of market participants visible through price movement. While traditionally viewed as just highs and lows on a chart, Structure Lab defines market structure as measurable patterns of participant behavior.
Key Components:
**Time Frames**:
The different time periods that price can be viewed from.
HTF = Higher Timeframe (typically H4+)
MTF = Medium Timeframe (typically M15 - H1)
LTF = Lower Timeframe (typically below M15)

**Mapping Structure**: The process of identifying and marking the significant highs and lows on your chart, including areas of liquidity and changes in the orderflow.
