Trading 90 mins session for a living || It’s a rigged game ||

Your stop above the old high is someone else’s entry.

I wrote a guide on what happens there, & when:
liquidity, structure, time, one model.
28 pages. Zero indicators. Made for beginners.

It’s free. Link in my bio.

Going against the crowd feels terrible in the moment.

That's exactly why it works.

Social media rewards agreement. Post what everyone thinks and you get likes. Post what nobody sees yet and you get silence. So most people learn to chase the likes. They stop saying what they see and start saying what gets approved.

The market works the same way. When the whole timeline is buying the same breakout or the same stock, the trade feels safe. The comfortable side is the crowded side, and the crowded side is where the stops sit.

Life too. Same school, same job, same 30-year plan. Safe because everyone does it. Until everyone finds out at the same time that it wasn't.

So how do you win? You do what most people won't.
Wait when everyone is clicking.
Study when everyone is scrolling.
Save when everyone is spending.
Build when everyone is watching.
Not different for the sake of it. Different where it's hard.

Being early feels like being wrong. No validation. No proof yet.

That feeling is the entry fee.

Pay it, or be the liquidity.

@VClouette ICT isn't a strategy. It's a way to read price & understand how the market moves. It gives you the eyes to build your own.

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

A dealing range isn't complete until both sides get raided.

October took the buystops above the old high.
November took the sellstops under the August low.

Both pools gone. Now it can go where it really wants.

@DeenadayalanRS Light day for me. Bonds are closed.
Just doing some intermarket work, NQ vs ES & DXY.

Trading from a beach is a marketing strategy.

Real trading: 8:55, coffee, -11°C in Montreal, two screens, nothing happens until 9:30.

Boring is the point.

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

Trading psychology is overrated.

Most "discipline problems" are traders with no rule for when NOT to trade.

Give yourself a clock. Half your psychology problems disappear.

@lavaaacakeee Amazing!!!

CPI at 8:30. I hope you saw it live.

9:00 to 9:30 Accumulation
9:30 Manipulation
10:00 to 10:30 Distribution

Look at your chart.

Monday is the day I trade the least. Most of the morning is marking last week's high & low & watching which one 9:30 takes first. Years ago I'd force a trade by 9:35 to start the week green. Now if nothing lines up by 10:30 I close the chart. Gym, then CPI tomorrow.

Fear on the index. Price sitting right above a monthly FVG.

When sentiment and higher timeframe PD arrays line up, you don’t need 10 indicators.

Fear & Greed + monthly FVG is a deadly combo.

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

Bitcoin.

I am looking for this market maker buy model on the monthly.

HTF Arrays > LTF Arrays

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

Do not conform to the pattern of this world.

They scroll till 2am & wonder why the mornings feel heavy. They quit the second it gets boring.

Be scared of being average. With everything we have today, average is a choice. Be different.

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

@tradercams 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

Nikola Tesla saw the world as energy, frequency and vibration.

The market is no different.

Price breathes. It expands and contracts. It runs liquidity, retraces, and repeats the same structure on the 1-minute and the monthly chart.

Volatility isn't chaos. It's energy being released at specific times: the open, the killzones, the news.

Most traders stare at one candle and try to guess the next.

We don’t guess. We understand the cycle and positions before making a move.

Learn its frequency.

The 9:30 model was indeed there

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

NQ.

Posted this on Oct 16, near the highs. Took 3 weeks to reach the July low at 27,202..

Most people drop a bias after 3 days. Target's done, so I'm not chasing it lower.
Back to the 9:30 model after NFP.

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

Nasdaq. Daily chart.

- COT DATA made lower lows since August.
- Every timeframe on SELL.
- Price higher. Program lower.

Look at your chart.

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

Look at your chart.
NFP Friday.

9:00 to 9:30 Accumulation
9:35 took the NFP low
Breaker, then Distribution.

Again & again.

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

I hope no one believed the bounce in the stock market yesterday after Trump lost the midterms.

NQ target 🎯
BTC target 74k still loading…

Everything is public.

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

@li9uidityyy Thats the way

[The pragmatic @NWM667]

Took 6 months off this app. Came back in October, opened the chart, and the open was doing the exact same thing it did before I left.

That's what nobody tells you when you start: you don't need new information, you need to stop looking for it.

Same window, same model, same notebook. Boring on purpose.
