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, Hindi and English, every lecture recorded.
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.
The five 2 CR lectures in the current batch — as recorded
Real titles from the student recordings portal. The module runs immediately after the 18-lecture SMC module.
| Lecture | Title (as recorded) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 19 | What is Pullback in 2 CR Method? | The two-candle retracement rule; why it replaces eyeballed swings. |
| 20 | Structure Marking as per 2 CR Strategy | Confirm highs/lows, BOS on closes, fake-break validation, LSM / LRM. |
| 21 | Internal Structure Shift / 5WC Lecture | The internal five-wave count as a pre-CHoCH signal; H1 and M15 application. |
| 22 | Dual CHoCH and ISS/5WC with TJL Levels | Trap reversals on 1H/4H/Daily; Trend Joining Levels after a confirmed BOS. |
| 23 | SBR and RBS Zones after a CHoCH | Support-become-resistance / resistance-become-support flip zones and the A+ entries around them. |
Followed in the batch by the ICT module (lectures 24 onward).
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.
Live, recorded, and tools in your hands
Live classes + full recordings
Every 2 CR lecture is taught live by Mahesh Sir on weekdays, 9:00–10:00 PM IST — and every lecture is recorded. Miss a class or want to revise? The recording is waiting in the student recordings portal.
Free indicators in month 3 + handbook
In the 3rd month of the group batch, students get one month of free access to SM Trading Zone's own SMC, ICT and CRT TradingView indicators as invite-only scripts (a free TradingView account is enough), plus lifetime access to the 20-chapter SMC Mastery Handbook.
Live trading sessions after the batch
When the batch ends, the learning doesn't. Join live market sessions with Mahesh Sir and apply the method on real charts — Gold, forex, crypto and US indices. Educational sessions on international markets only; never trade calls on Indian securities, and no promise of returns.
The 2 CR method is part of the Complete Syllabus
| Track | Fee | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Syllabus | ₹25,000 (or 250 USDT) | SMC (18 lectures) + the 2 CR method (5 lectures) + ICT + CRT, live and recorded, with SM Trading Zone's indicators during the batch and the 20-chapter SMC Mastery Handbook. |
| One-to-One Education Batch | ₹1,00,000 / 2 months | The whole syllabus including 2 CR, privately with Mahesh Sir — Marathi, Hindi or English. |
Not sold separately — it builds directly on the SMC module, so it ships inside the Complete Syllabus.
