Just trying to master myself in the #trading markets while making money, working out, living life and staying lowkey hidden from the drama. #cryptoinvestor
Every orderflow leg gives price 3 chances to react
1. The first PD encountered in the leg (Typically a FVG, highest likelihood of retracing here)
2. The Overlapping PDas (a FVG + an old swing point, OB or Breaker)
3. The swing high/low where the leg/FVG originated from.
3 defense lines.
Thats it.
If price fails to hold at one it will seek the next, simple.
ALL the timeframes work off each other
You cant 'skip' one for the sake of following timeframe alignment.
Ex: D->1h->5m
I’ve seen people completely SKIP the 4h and 15m timeframes in their analysis
or W->4H->15m
Skipping the daily and 1h is outrageous.
They must all agree with each other for the highest probability scenario.
Monitor them all.
Dont blindside yourself.
It’s not about technical analysis.
Anyone can learn that.
Yes, literally anybody.
What everybody can’t seem to do?
Is have some damn self control.
Thats the part that takes years for some traders to fix.
I like to say that nothing will ever teach you more about yourself than trading.
It’s life’s greatest therapist.
It will without a fail reveal the good, the bad, and the ugly about YOU.
Once you learn all the about yourself, that’s when the work begins on fixing your imperfections.
How to do this?
Journal. Journal. Journal.
Journal everything.
Your thoughts, emotions, body triggers before, during, and after the trade.
Are you tapping the desk?
Nervously fidgeting?
Palms getting sweaty?
Moms spaghetti?
Pulling your hair?
Scrolling nervously through tickers?
All these are signs of emotional trading.
They may occur when you are unsure of a setup, you just took a loss, or are risking way too much.
It is your job to determine what triggers lead to your emotion based mistakes.
The more aware you are of this, the easier it will be to front jump the mistake before it even happens.
Orderflow doesn't have to be complex footprint charts
that look like the console of a spaceship.
Or those bookmap charts that look like a birthday party
with too many balloons.
To me, Orderflow is just FVGs and liquidity.
It answers ALL 4 questions:
Bias
Narrative
Entry
Risk Management
Doesn't have to be rocket science.
This week has been ridiculously good.

🔹Bullish Bias
🔹15m FVG (Narrative)
🔹5m IFVG (Entry)
🔹NYKZ (Time)
Simplicty at its finest.
What Finally Made Me Profitable:
1) Forcing myself to wait for a liquidity sweep before I entered.
2) Backtesting everyday until I could see my setup with my eyes closed.
3) Reprogramming my mind.
It's not sexy but it woks.
As typical protocol... I am going to spend the next 2 to 3 days getting in sync with Price action...
What do I do?
I demo executions, measure willingness to adhere to orderflow, as I outline it, PD array sensitivity and calculated Price Run targeting.
I will review this afternoon, just to build back my connection to the markets.

Before you throw a single punch, protecting your hands should be your number one priority. A proper hand wrap stabilizes your wrist, anchors your knuckles, and prevents the bones in your hand from collapsing under impact.
Using a simple doorway frame is a masterclass in boxing geometry. It forces tight, disciplined head movement and sharp angles because the environment literally won’t let you cheat the mechanics.

STUDY!
if you focused the same amount of time on God than you do making money you would realize you can be happy with nothing
if you need money to feel free then you are a slave to someone else's mini games
FVGs found within a range/chop are VERY low probability.
This is how we were able to avoid 2 losses today from trading these 5m FVGs on indices today
