If a Market Maker, NOT a Dealer, was going to operate in the delivery of any market...
1) They would operate in a specified and designated "Time" each day.
2) They would engineer false evidence for the speculators to doubt or trust a particular price anomaly.
3) They woulf use tactics over and over while the general public never recognized it.
4) They would victimize the profitable for the express purpose of unseating them.
5) They would operate under false narratives that a Dealer is a Market Maker, when they aren't.
6) They would allow you to believe you understand something that you don't.
7) They would deliver price in a manner to allow "Smart Money" entities to make the lion's portion every trading day.
These facts don't require your belief or trust... they still remain.
Simple... clean and repeats a lot. Nothing complicated about it. No FVG, NDOG, NWOG, ORG, Breakers, OBs...
Just orderflow in candlestick presentation and two Algorithmic levels.
When trades roll back on your positions and you get stopped out in profit but held a more unrealized profit... these hurt the new Trader.
Not financially but rather emotionally. They feel robbed or cheated, and anger is the usual response.
You will never capture large runs in price if you never give the market a chance to run and hold for them.
Sometimes, they simply say... "Not this one..."
When equilibrium has been traded to and through we anticipate a stop run to take out the stops opposing the trend direction and then expect a second leg of distribution to the final objective or last 1/4 of expected range👇

In a symmetrical market, the swings are easy to see. Easy to navigate and execute positions. The obvious next objective can be determined on a consistent basis. Much like this spider web below... it is methodical, planned construction. What happens when chaos is introduced?
Uninformed participants makes the world go round in ANY market.
'Smart money' is here to provide Liquidity. They will offset their positions and neutralize those participants whom they have provided liquidity to.
It is important to remember that this is NOT a game, this is a business. Markets are ALWAYS seeking liquidity.
Wait for orders to build up then anticipate manipulation of that range. Confirm smart money has either accumulated or distributed with intermarket analysis on a correlated asset. Target the opposite direction for distribution.
HTF external liquidity > LTF external liquidity = high probability trading. This engineering is the 'business' for intraday volatility.
Grit is The Power of Perseverance.
It rests on the expectation that our own efforts can improve our future.
It has nothing to do with luck but everything to do with getting up again.
Intention + Practice = Skill
Eventually, what once took conscious thought now becomes automatic and productive. 👉 @angeladuckw
