Fridays Gameplan (Turtle soup + Returm to Opening Range Gap)1) 12:00 am price has created the low of the day and started to rally higher. After the large sell of the other day there is a ton of layer buyside sitting above price at the open 2) 9:30 Launches price into all the buyside layers with great speed. 3) Once the High of 10/14 was taken out I started looking for shorts as we had launched away from the 9:30 open and left a very large opening range gap untouched. My exit target was the 9:30 opening price. Turtle soup + return to opening range gap after buyside sweep. Not trading advice.

"The Chop" Explained. Thursday 10/24I do not like to trade in days that play out like this. This is high resistance liquidity conditions and trading days like these have torn holes in my account. They are great to study and pick up on the cues early so you can stay out of them. Notice how between 9:30 and 12:30 there were only 2 FVG formed on this time frame? Notice how there is not a clear directional run toward liquidity? In the 1 min chart, is there clear directional moves or a lot of back and forth? Some call it chop. Days like these I remind myself to stay flat, I don't have to trade every day. Remember that after a Large range trading day there is a high likely hood of a High resistance Liquidity conditions on the next session.

Wednesday sell off, and how to spot it.1) What a Heavy Day! 12:00 saw the only swing high taken (3:15 am) out and after that it was all Sell side delivery. 2) 9:30 open did not have the strength to push higher at all leaving the opening day gap almost completely untouched. Entry here after the failed attempted to go past the high at 9:30 3) Wild ride down But exited where the last sell-side I had mapped was hit. Right at the top of the 1 hour Bisi. Notice how the price jumped into the 1min FVG from Monday and immediately broke lower. Interesting. Not trading advice.

Leaves the upper portion untouched and price breaks lower, back into the 15m BiSi and just past the 25% of the Opening Gap. Entry Here at top of BiSI. 4) With Speed price runs towards the buyside after NY lunch and into the beginning of the PM session. Not Trade advice.

Mondays Review. Riding the Tide.1) 12:00 am Price Opens below the NWOG and Trends lower. Looking back on the chart we can see the resting sellside from 10/17. London Session leaves us with minor buyside as price continues lower. 2) Sellside is swept, and quickly reverses before the 8:30 and 9:30 opens. We are now in a buy program. 3) Price reaches up to the Buyside target. This Buyside resides inside of a 15min Sibi From 10/17. 75% gets filled and price once again reverses direction. Interesting that both highs and lows from lunch session on 10/17 were taken out. 4) Price the swiftly moves towards the sellside again, Quickly sweeping before moving back up. Notice how it consolidated around the NWOG and this week we are studying the first presented FVG on Monday. Not trading advice.

Nasdaq (NQZ2024) - Will We See The Daylight Of $21,000? Wednesday printed the lows for the week, attacking the prior weeks sell stops, before closing inside of the upper portion of the bullish order block. Shortly after, On Thursday, the Nasdaq rallied thanks to Tesla's strong earnings and optimistic sales outlook, boosting hopes for a solid earnings season. However, the Dow fell further, dragged down by IBM's 6% drop after a revenue miss. Does that mean daily buy stops above the 14th Oct 24 will be ran on? Currently, the highs is being tested but will we see a daily closure above leading to further bullish speculation to $21,000?

Directional bias for trade filtering on lower TF , or 70 win %Hi there! I’m excited to share a system I’ve developed called 'Zones.' These zones offer a directional bias, helping predict where price is likely to move next with a current follow-through rate of 70%. In other words, if the price exits one of the orange zones, there’s a 70% chance it will reach the next orange zone, at least touching the boundary, rather than reversing back and closing within the previous zone. You can trade these zones directly for a 70% win rate, or use them as a directional bias to complement your existing strategy on a 1-minute or 5-minute chart (which I highly recommend). Important note: When the price briefly exits a zone but doesn’t close outside it, this is not considered a valid exit — we call this a "spike" or wick. For the 70% win rate to apply, the price must close outside the zone. These zones are the result of years of research, experimental machine learning development, and collaboration with colleagues who have decades of experience in physics. And the best part? I’m offering them completely free. The real challenge isn’t just following a system with a 70% win rate — it’s whether you can overcome your own psychology and avoid sabotaging your success. If you had a winning strategy, what’s really stopping you from being consistently profitable? Often, the answer is ourselves. My zones are built on theoretical thermodynamics and mathematical proofs that help predict the likely trajectory of a system, similar to particle movement in physics. Keep in mind, the orange zone line represents an unpredictable area — while the price often touches the line, there are instances where it may not reach it. Due to the inherent limitations of modern physics, this zone remains an unsolvable area, adding a layer of uncertainty to the system. I promise, none of the paid indicators, whether it’s LuxAlgo or anything from a Pine Wizard or trading “guru,” can match the accuracy of these zones. But don’t take my word for it — try them for yourself and see the results!

905$ trade One of my best tradesOver the past four days, I have closely monitored the market charts and have developed the ability to predict significant price movements, regardless of direction. The market still shows fair value gaps from the downside, indicating potential upward movement, much like how the ocean recedes before a tsunami strikes. Considering that the market recently hit all-time highs, a retracement is inevitable. One crucial lesson in trading is that success doesn’t come from actively trying to make money—it may sound counterintuitive, but it’s true. The market moves like a heartbeat, with regular patterns, except on "news days," when external factors act like adrenaline and cause shifts. Once you can recognize when the market is preparing to make a move, you become a formidable trader. The truth is, all strategies can work, but the key is to avoid letting greed or emotion dictate your actions. Trading with emotion is the fastest way to lose money, so it’s critical to eliminate that from your decision-making process as quickly as possible.

Shorts are still strong, Look for high price for entry - 1) Short Entry Levels: Primary Entry: Between 20,542.50 and 20,520.25. If price is rejected here, expect consolidation around 20,484.25 before a drop. Secondary Entry: If price is not rejected at the primary entry, the next short opportunity is around 20,662.25. 2) Bias: Short Bias Remains: The short bias holds as long as the price stays below 20,680.00. If the price rises above this level, the short bias is invalidated. The short bias is supported by the lack of a solid long foundation below 20,206.25. 3) Target: The target price for the short position is 20,079, and then to 19,707.50. 4) Price Action Insight: Wicks above 20,602.25 can offer a good short entry. Pay attention to the higher time frame (HTF) candles closing and opening near these levels. Consider whether prices move outside of the Bollinger Bands or just touch the 4-hour top bands while stretching the 1-hour. 5) Market Behavior: The current price action is forming bull flag consolidations but is likely to head straight toward the short levels, potentially reaching above 20,538.25.

2024-10-24 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr Indexes - Bulls bought the lows as was expected but they could not close the day with a strong bull bar. Instead we printed weak bull bars or inside bars. Are we any smarter today? Not much. Both sides are to weak to show a clear direction and so we mostly move sideways. Bears do not have any arguments after not getting any follow through. Bulls at least closed it above the daily 20ema, so we are still inside the bullish patterns and upwards is more likely than down. nasdaq e-mini futures comment: Also nested triangles, so not much difference to dax. Market closed in the middle of it, which is also the open of the week around 20400. Here market is absolutely in balance and it’s the worst place to trade. Market closed where it opened, so don’t put too much thought into today. Mark the triangles on your chart and wait for the breakout tomorrow or fade the extremes. current market cycle: Bull trend (nested triangles on 1h chart) key levels: 20000 - 21000 bull case: Bulls want 21000 again. They bought where they had to at the bull trend line and we should not drop below 20260 again or bulls might seriously doubt their case. Confirmation for bulls is only above 20700. Invalidation is below 20000. bear case: Bears need follow through selling below 20000 and I highly doubt they can get it. If they do, this bull trend is over and the highs are probably in. For now Bears trying to keep this inside the triangle and below 20700. Trading range price action so I will spare you more words. Invalidation is above 20700. short term: Neutral medium-long term: Very likely a retest of the ath before I expect a correction 10% or more, before another year end rally. I do think we see 21000 before we see 19600. current swing trade: Nope trade of the day: Buying EU session as dax.
