    happens all the time.. gotta have a plan going in tho lol. Notice after price rocketed up it retraced back to the level to go up again lol. Interesting thing is... nothing he said was any different than anything we thought beforehand. Now we play these levels and see if the market goes...

    mannnnnnn I wish it told me what price was going to do tomorrow... I'd just short/long whatever and collect bank! Jokes aside, IV is compressing and we're descending. We're positioning for a weak weekly OpEx this friday and it seems like the market is pretty resigned to the down trend. The...

    Here's a MSFT fade we took in both directions. We were long on the momentum up with the rest of the market and on weakness after clearing out the liquidity in the orderbook above we started failing. Waited for the failure to develop and shorted with a small position. When failure broke below...

    Here's a great example of an uptrend orderflow with Bookmap and clearing out liquidity in the book on the way up... you can clearly see we establish support and push further each time and then when we don't price fails and rejects back. We took this setup both directions.

    ES on 2-27. Clear uptrend at the ORL/IBL. We went long on the support hoping for a midline play. Scaled out at midline and we got further support long at ORMidline retest targeting ORH. We break all the way through and you can see the "white dots" at the top indicating a sweep of those...

    Here's a trade from Yesterday where MSFT stalled out. We were on both sides of the trade. You can see it's a micro double bottom push up. I was looking for support as the previous liquidity point which we got at (3). From there I'm watching and scaling out of my position after we target...

    This is the "Trade not taken" ... I had a long bias in intel and I wanted to be long but the liquidity in the heatmap was nearly non-existent. Price steadily climbed higher and then just SHOT up in a 2minute period before just going "yah I'm done". Really clean orderflow. Nice size volume...

    Trade 2 was a fantastic setup. Big two legged impulse down and consolidation directly below key level. Several attempts to push significantly lower and failed. Increasing CVD (more bullish orderflow volume over a long period). Price finally broke above the OR Low (didn't retest yet). And...

    Good evening (or morning as it's 2am).... Here's a trade setup that showed up 15minutes into RTH for GOOG. It was a strong impulse down, past the vwap 2nd standard deviation. I like to play these back to VWAP and reduce/scale out size. If I see another entry I can add more. What you see...

    Last trade I want to share for the day. Took the downtrend in google to 90 and that's a major psych level. Saw clear resistance breaking through that massive liq there. Higher lows and a significant amount of guying dots. Was already looking for reversals in tech/major index stocks. Pressed...

    This was META. I was seeing a potential reversal in ES which means Major Tech stocks might follow. One of the signs I saw was a huge CVD increase after a steady decrease in meta. This indicates a posible reversal. we see the stock bottom out at about 169.5 and retake taht liquidity at 170...

    Little late from yesterday... I took an "evening nap" that just turned into "evening sleep" lol Here's a set of trades in two parts. First the traditional chart .. we triple topped at a key level TWICE and triple Bottomed at a key level once. I don't take the first but the 2nd and 3rd I...

    This was the trade of the day easily though.. AAPL setup mid-morning. Price clearly sideways, finally breaks above OR Low AND VWAP and finds support. Moves through multiple liquidity levels before finding support again, this time at the OR Midline and pushes into two more liquidity points...

    Two great setups for bookmap today! 1st.. Late afternoon OR Low support. We were met with heavy sell sweeps pushing price drastically down. When we saw this we stayed in the trade longer and targeted the lower liquidity point. You can see the CVD decreasing -- which is just a fancy way of...

    So .. pre-market prep identified a lower level Key Gamma point at the 4010 ES L4. Coming into the day I was expecting that to be much too far for the overall day but I wanted to keep track of it. As we continued pushing lower the potential for getting to this point was VERY real. At post...

    Here's the 3rd of 4 trades I'm sharing today with how they setup. I typically use NinjaTrader8 for my traditional charting and order routing. Everyday, after the market closes, I check the days "volume profile" and highlight specific areas where high volumes of trades occur. These are "high...

    Here's a simple quick scalp I took this morning that you can see on the BM chart. The yellow line at 4037 is the ORL we found support below it and pushed further down. I'd typically look to enter at that point but there was a very fast impulse movement lower. This impulse movement told me...

    qlai, hopefully you don't mind a 2nd reply but here's my example from today's trading. We entered the day with a bearish bias and look to see/confirm our bias at the start of the day which we did by breaking down into the lower Opening Range and rejecting off VWAP. You can see at the very left...

    Trading in the direction prevents competing against. By trading where the market direction is going you're not competing, you're actually adding support to the existing trades. This is a big issue with PATs as most individual try to take counter-trend entries and suffer a max loss simply cause...
