Abbreviations
- BOS - Break of structure
- Micro BOS - LTF break of structure
Break of structure is the process of swing highs and lows shifting forming a new 'structural formation'
we also use this to find the point of sync in which the higher time frame bias coincides with the lower time frame bias to allow for a clean and efficient trade.

The two structure types you should be watching for
Example #1
![](/file/8272453773a094e2ddb5d.png)
HTF Bearish break in structure indicating a new lower high (complex pullback)
Upon inspecting the lower time frame we need to find the point of sync to start looking for an entry.

Here we find a bullish LTF break of structure to fit our already bullish HTF bias, calling this the point of sync (bullish LTF and HTF bias in sync)
Upon finding the point of sync entry opportunities are obtainable.
Entries following BOS
Using previously discussed techniques such as
- Sc mitigation
- Price inefficiency
- Order blocks
- Breaker blocks
Following the point of sync / break of structure are the optimal strategies to execute an efficient trade.
