The 2 CR Method — Two-Candle Retracement structure & A+ Zones course

Most structure marking is an opinion. The 2 CR method makes it a rule: a swing is confirmed by a two-candle retracement, breaks are confirmed on closes with a fake-break check, and the protected levels have names — LSM and LRM. From that base you learn the internal 5-wave shift, Trend Joining Levels, Dual CHoCH reversals and the A+ zones that form after every change of character. Taught live by Mahesh Zambare Patil in Marathi and Hindi, every lecture recorded.

What You'll Learn

The 2 CR method, concept by concept

Each term below is a rule you can apply on any chart and get the same answer twice. That reproducibility is the whole point.

🔵

Confirm High / Confirm Low

The two-candle retracement that confirms a swing: two consecutive opposite-close candles, the second closing beyond the first's extreme. Confirmed highs and lows are marked (blue / black dots) — no fractal guessing.

📈

BOS with a fake-break check

A Break of Structure counts only on a candle close through the confirmed level, and only if the next candle doesn't close straight back through it. Fake BOS and fake CHoCH are labelled, not traded.

🛡️

LSM & LRM

The Last Support of Market and Last Resistance of Market — the protected pivot stamped at each confirmed BOS. A confirmed close through it (two consecutive closes) is the CHoCH that flips the trend.

🌊

ISS / 5WC — Internal Structure Shift

Five internal waves against the trend inside the last impulse = a pre-CHoCH warning. Taught for H1 and M15, with the wave-3 and wave-4 levels as the areas of interest.

🔗

TJL — Trend Joining Levels

After every confirmed BOS, two with-trend zones: TJL1 at the broken level and TJL2 at the new protected pivot — the places to join a trend instead of chasing it.

🔁

Dual CHoCH & post-CHoCH zones

The trap reversal on 1H / 4H / Daily, and the A+ zones a CHoCH leaves behind: SBR / RBS flip zones, the QML A+ level and the DT / DB pivot.

Why It Matters

Why a mechanical structure rule changes everything downstream

🎯

Zones you can trust

Order blocks, FVGs and flip zones are only as good as the structure they sit in. When the structure is confirmed by rule, every zone you mark inherits that confidence.

📓

Backtests you can repeat

A method you can describe as rules is a method you can test honestly. Two students, one chart, one answer — which is the only way a journal means anything.

🧠

Less second-guessing live

Fake-break checks and named protected levels mean fewer "was that a real break?" moments at 8:45 PM with money on the line.

How It's Delivered

Honest teaching — no fake calls, no hype

We never sell "guaranteed" buy/sell calls, win-rate figures or profit promises. You learn to build and test your own playbook — and we'd tell you to walk away from anyone who promises otherwise.

Honest expectations. This is an educational programme, not a signal service, portfolio service or investment advice — and no returns are promised or implied. Trading leveraged products carries a high risk of loss; forward-test on a demo account before risking money. Live practice covers international markets only (Gold/XAUUSD, forex, crypto, US indices) and never includes buy/sell calls on Indian securities. SM Trading Zone is not a SEBI-registered adviser.

FAQ

2 CR method questions

What does "2 CR" stand for?
Two-Candle Retracement. A swing point is confirmed only when two consecutive opposite-colour candles print and the second closes beyond the first's low (bullish leg) or high (bearish leg). That single rule replaces subjective swing-picking with a mechanical, repeatable one — and it's the foundation of the A+ Zones structure method taught at SM Trading Zone.
How is 2 CR different from normal SMC structure marking?
Standard SMC marks swings by eye or by fractal pivots, which produces false structure and whipsaw. The 2 CR method confirms every high and low with the two-candle rule, confirms every BOS and CHoCH on candle closes with a fake-break check, and names the protected levels (LSM / LRM) explicitly — so two students marking the same chart get the same structure.
Do I need SMC first?
Yes, and that's how the batch is ordered: the 2 CR module (lectures 19–23) starts right after the 18-lecture SMC module, because it refines the structure, CHoCH and zone concepts you already have.
Which timeframes does the 2 CR method work on?
The structure rules work on any timeframe. Two refinements are timeframe-specific by design: the Internal Structure Shift / 5-wave count (ISS / 5WC) is taught for H1 and M15, and the Dual CHoCH trap-reversal is taught on 1H, 4H and Daily.
Is "2CR" here the same as the two-candle reversal / rejection patterns I've seen elsewhere?
No. Elsewhere "2CR" is sometimes used for a simple two-candle rejection pattern. Here it is a complete structure-marking and zone method — confirm highs/lows, BOS, CHoCH, LSM/LRM, ISS/5WC, TJL levels, Dual CHoCH and SBR/RBS zones — taught over five dedicated lectures.
What is the fee for the 2 CR course?
The 2 CR method is part of the Complete Syllabus batch — ₹25,000 one-time (or 250 USDT) — together with SMC, ICT and CRT. It is not sold separately. Next batch: 26 October 2026, weekdays 8–9 PM IST, live online across India and offline in Pune.
