@orderflowlabs Nice tool right there on the Gif. Tried many time to get something to visualise this effect. Think I a going to join OFL. Guess that on premium
@off_the_grid21 @orderflowlabs Hello @off_the_grid21 , sorry if I missed it but just reminder 😅 not to forget the Sierra chart book and the instructions.
@off_the_grid21 @orderflowlabs Great, I have tried coding so many thing to get this kind of view of the tape. I know you said 3 weeks but in the meantime do you mind telling the average method and the period you use per histogram for the indicator? Will try a shot pending OFL version
@LesGouh Yeah got the structure Part. I am pretty good at spotting zone of potential reaction. Where I am struggling is the "Participation "
I know the below exercise would help. That where I am seeking more clarity.

Decided to get some target practice in on the charts during a free hour block this afternoon.
Rewound to a random day from the past two weeks and tackled the blind open—focusing on scalping traps on intraday rotations from the hard right-edge.
Back in the day, I'd spend hours practicing scenarios like this. The goal being to perfect my timing, hone my eye, and master scaling in/out of trades while managing risk—great when also in flow state.
Much like any performance based skill, execution is an art, and one you get better at with practice. These blind sessions help to train you to stay nimble as new info emerges.
You may notice from the video that I cut losses quickly and scale up on higher-conviction ideas, constantly adjusting exposure in real time as market structure develops.
I am not perfect—but do this long enough, and you'll soon realize that perfection is also not the key to profitability (managing your exposure is).
It's also worth noting that scalping is just "one tool" in my toolbox. It's one I like to leverage in and around larger ideas if I feel opportunity is there.
I speak about it a lot—but you can also skew probabilities further by leveraging additional information to help you form your intraday sandbox (higher timeframe narratives/value/structure).
The key to scalping effectively intraday is to remain nimble, get good at managing exposure in real time, and be happy with taking paper cuts.
tl;dr
See this stuff as merely an activity to sharpen your sword.

@LesGouh Because I have observed when practicing live, replay or even reviewing your trade that Blue or Red does necessarilu lean trapped, sometimes aggression. So how do you eliminate fake move in this regards?
@LesGouh Nimble execution as usual.. do you mind if ask more insight about your execution? ( Identifying who is trapped based on the absorption and POC of bar). For instance how do you determine that one side is trapped?
@LesGouh Impressed with your execution as usual. Being at 25k+ in less than a month!! You are being a motivation to learn the skill. Please missing your commented video. They are really helpful
@LesGouh@LikeTheHotel Yeah tried doing it every night since last week I download the replay data on sierra and try to see it. Only thing is sometime, when I try, it is difficult pinpoint the time where you entered (that the case when you have a cluster of bar at your entry point )
