Gamma levels. Call wall above, put wall below, the zero-gamma flip between. Price stalls at the call wall.

Volume profile. Where most volume traded: the POC, the value area, and thin tails at the extremes.

ICT setup. Judas swing above the high, displacement down, MSS, then a retrace into the FVG and order block.

Confluence. The zero-gamma flip, the value area high and the FVG / OB sit in one zone.

The Stryker Method

Price leaves footprints. We teach you to read them before the crowd does.

Institutions don't chase price — they engineer liquidity, then move it. Stryker's curriculum is built entirely around that premise: every lesson maps directly to how smart money accumulates, manipulates, and distributes.

Core Vocabulary

Every concept connects to the next.
