News Today:

Notes about Today:

• Not the best PA today, did not offer entry model, and that’s okay. It was frustrating at first, but I was able to stop myself from making any stupid mistakes, and I just kept it simple. Price was not in my favor, so I didn’t continue on trading or changing my idea. I was thinking of longs here, even before 10am kicked in. Price was respecting 4h OB+, and basically there is nothing stopping price on the 4h chart to go to the upside.
• Keeping in mind this:
  • Macro will begin manipulation phase for the 10am candle. 9:50-10:10, so theoretically there should be no trade for distribution present during this time area, wait until after macro, and wait until a clear setup forms.
• Waited for 2pm, and that’s where I did some things wrong. I found what appeared to be my setup, which practically did work out going into market close at 5pm, but should’ve been more careful with the risk I was putting on. I ended up overtrading cause the setup looked good for a while, and the frustration got to me. Ended up taking a chunky loss but was able to lock myself out for the day before I tilted and blew the account.

10am Idea:

• Price didn’t offer entry here for longs, no clean CISD, no SMT, no entry potential, but we do nicely tap into this 15m FVG.
• Was thinking of longs here during 9:50-10:10 macro, but you can see how we sweep lower on both NQ and ES,
• Price did eventually tap into TP, which was that line which was Asia Highs for NQ.
