@PatternProfits Hi Ben, I let https://t.co/UaErgZIMrO create the pinescript with the levels which a i can save for later and it cost claude less power to create the scripts.
Go from a zero to million dollar mindset today. You just need to:
1. Stop trying to get rich this month.
2. Pick 3-5 tickers and never trade outside them.
3. Mark your levels every Sunday. No exceptions.
4. Delete every indicator on your chart.
5. Size every position assuming it could go to zero.
6. Then size down again.
7. Stop watching PnL during the trade.
8. Decide your risk before you enter. Not after.
9. Never average down on a losing position.
10. Stop trading when you're emotional.
11. Stop trading after a revenge impulse.
12. Stop trading out of boredom.
13. Learn to sit on your hands for days.
14. Learn to miss moves without flinching.
15. Accept that FOMO is self-sabotage.
16. Never size up after a win streak.
17. Never size up after a loss streak.
18. Journal every trade. Win or lose.
19. Find your self-sabotage trigger and remove it.
20. Wake up early. Every single day.
21. Meditate before the market opens.
22. Move your body. Sleep 7+ hours.
23. Separate your self-worth from your PnL.
24. Detach from needing to be right.
25. Let winners run to plan.
26. Stop micromanaging trades.
27. Prove consistency before scaling.
28. Increase size slowly. Never emotionally.
29. Focus on process not outcome.
30. Grade your execution weekly. Not your PnL.
31. Eliminate one mistake at a time.
32. Never strategy hop.
33. Never indicator hop.
34. Never copy random traders.
35. Trade the first hour whenever possible.
36. Master one setup.
37. Define when NOT to trade.
38. Walk away after two bad trades.
39. Review losing trades deeper than winners.
40. Identify if you cut winners early.
41. Identify if you hold losers too long.
42. Protect capital like it's the only thing that matters.
43. Withdraw consistently. Every single week.
44. Avoid all-in mentality.
45. Avoid "this is the one" thinking.
46. Build tolerance for drawdowns.
47. Accept flat months.
48. Accept slow growth.
49. Accept boredom. Boring is the goal.
50. Never trade to recover.
51. Never trade to prove something.
52. Never trade to escape.
53. Trade to execute. Nothing more.
54. Stay small until the process is automatic.
55. Prioritize survival over speed.
56. Build emotional stability before you build size.
57. Think in years not months.
58. Stay in the game long enough to let it compound.
If you struggled last month with $NQ $ES ORB/IB setups, please READ THIS! Once the 0dte dynamics of +/- gamma are understood, a few small adjustments can get a trader back on track. Sharing again because it's that important & details here are better than I can explain it myself.
One more time.
Above the flip, dealers hedge AGAINST the move. Volatility gets crushed. The market grinds.
Below it, dealers hedge WITH the move. Every push gets fuel.
Left chart: positive gamma. Right chart: negative gamma.
The flip divides these worlds. Trade accordingly.
A broke Italian gambler in 1560 wrote a short manual on how to win at dice. Nobody in finance read it for four hundred years.
The nine-trillion-dollar insurance industry runs on his equation.
His name was Girolamo Cardano. The book was called Liber de Ludo Aleae. He scribbled it in Milan to settle a card debt. Every dollar of premium ever collected on Earth is a footnote to that scribble.
Nobody connected the dots until 1996. A ninety-year-old man in New York wrote a book called Against the Gods and traced every modern risk model back to Cardano's manual. Wall Street called him the historian of risk.
His name was Peter Bernstein. In 2008 a small production company filmed him for thirteen minutes. He walked through the entire five-hundred-year arc. Cardano to Pascal to Fermat to Black-Scholes.
Then he stopped and said the industry had built glass towers on the back of an idea a broke gambler scribbled to shave the house edge.
He died the following summer. Age ninety.
There are only four ways to make money. Labor. Capital. Arbitrage. Insurance. Insurance is the oldest and the least visible. Every actuary on Earth still prices catastrophe risk with Cardano's framework.
The video is thirteen minutes long. Free on YouTube. Twenty-nine thousand people have watched it.
If you only bought when the $NASI RSI was sub 10 and $NAMO is -60 or worse intraday, and began a series of averaging down into names or indices, you would outperform...
Percentage of stocks above the 40-day, new lows reaching multi-standard deviation moves, etc. all part of huge liquidations and blowouts. These are where the real opportunities come from. Raise the stops as the positions work in case it's a bear rally.
I have mentioned this so many times over.
Everyone wants the perfect breakout. Few understand when to avoid one entirely. The best traders know when not to trade.
Pradeep Bonde stresses that situational awareness is critical. It helps you avoid drawdowns and frustration, making capital preservation the key focus when context isn't right.
Context matters more than setup.
" How to Understand the Market Monitor" spreadsheet is a question I get daily from those with no background in how market breadth works.

Market breadth is a daily measure of underlying buying or selling pressure. It measures funds buying and selling.
Running of the Bulls Before July 4th!
Stronger than days after.
Since 2011, three days before the holiday:
$DIA up 14 of 15 years — 93.3%, +0.62% avg
$SPY 500 80.0% (+0.58%)
$IWM 73.3% (+0.64%)
$QQQ 66.7% (+0.62%)
Day B4 4th higher 80.0% of time DJIA/NAS), 86.7% SPX/R2K
July has historically gotten off to a strong start. Since 2005, S&P 500 has closed higher on the first trading day of July 90.5% of the time, while DJIA and NASDAQ have each gained 85.7% of the time. https://t.co/F0kPlyoBrJ
One lesson the market has taught me over and over again:
Tops are a process.
Bottoms are an event.
Tops don't happen because of one piece of bad news.
They happen after weeks or months of people convincing themselves every dip is another buying opportunity.
Bottoms don't happen because the news suddenly gets better.
They happen when fear reaches a point where nobody wants to buy anymore.
That's why bottoms feel so uncomfortable.
We were together riding this through COVID, the 2021 top, the 2022 bear market, the 2025 top and April bottom, the January 2026 top, and now again in 2026.
The charts change. The headlines change.
Human psychology doesn't.
It comes from living through enough market cycles to recognize what they look and feel like.
Everything I share is based on that experience.
And I treat every person who wants to learn the same way I'd want someone to teach my own family.
