What Is Daily Bias?
Your daily bias is your directional lean for the session — do you expect price to trade higher or lower today? It's formed from higher-timeframe structure and liquidity, and it keeps you trading with the bigger picture instead of reacting to noise.
How to form a bias
- Read the higher timeframe trend and structure (is it making higher highs/lows or lower?).
- Identify the obvious liquidity — where are the stops price is likely to hunt?
- Note unfilled FVGs and key order blocks that could act as draws.
- Combine: which direction is price most likely drawn toward next?
Using your bias
A bias isn't a guarantee — it's a lean that filters your trades. If your bias is bullish, you favor longs at discount levels and ignore weak shorts. It stops you from taking every setup and keeps you aligned with the higher timeframe.
Stay flexible
Price doesn't owe you your bias. If structure shifts — a clear change of character against you — update it. A good trader holds a bias loosely and lets price confirm or invalidate it.

How do you determine daily bias?
From higher-timeframe structure and liquidity: the trend direction, where stops likely sit, and which draws (FVGs, order blocks) price is heading toward next. It's a lean, not a certainty.
What if price goes against my bias?
Stay flexible. A clear change of character against your bias is a signal to update it. Hold a bias loosely and let price confirm or invalidate it.
