@RealJGBanks Love this setup!

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

Thanks much. A couple of questions -

1. Does your platform offer the day by day position status or in 5/10/15 minutes increment to check how the position would have performed on a given day or time?

2. Does it also provide the flexibility to adjust (modify - close, open) positions to get the actual experience on how the position would have turned after adjustments?

These are some key features I am looking for in the Backtest platform.

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

Looking for recommendations:

Is there a platform/service in the US for Options backtesting with day-by-day or 5–15 minute historical data and adjustments included, similar to Definedge Opstra in India?

I want to backtest an $SPX options strategy. Any suggestions?

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

@dtbhat Thanks for the recommendation. Its a great tool and I like what it offers.

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

@SRxTrades Well summarised the journey and mindset of a trader, Sean!

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

Understand the difference between buying in anticipation and hope VS buying after the confirmation signal.

While the former can give you an early entry "sometimes" but the losses can be big if you dont have an exit plan.

The latter can give you big profits with fixed small losses because the signal was high probability after the confirmation.

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

Taking a trade just because your hands are itching is the sure shot way to lose money.

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

Worth a note!

THIS HAS MARKED EVERY MAJOR BUYING & SELLING OPPORTUNITY SINCE 1990

Save this. You will use it forever.

This is how generational wealth is made.

Dot-Com Crash.
Global Financial Crisis.
COVID Crash.
2022 Bear Market.
2025 Tariff Selloff.

The $VIX is Wall Street’s fear gauge.

If you trade $SPY or $QQQ, you need to understand it.

VIX <20: TRIM / REDUCE RISK
VIX 20–30: HOLD
VIX 30–40: START BUYING
VIX >40: BUY THE PANIC

RIGHT NOW: VIX 14.53

We’re back in the low-volatility zone.

Trim positions and let winners run. Do less right now.

Fear creates opportunity. That’s where the real wealth is made.

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

Make your checklist for entries and exits that defines rules in black and white. That will help bring the required discipline and will remove any ambiguities. This will be purely based on your trading setup, style and risk appetite.

This has really helped me filter the noise and I am sure it will benefit you.

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

@KillaXBT $58K to $40K is pretty large range (31%) to see a dip. Most people dont keep this much even as a SL.

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

Higher timeframe undercut the lows with lower timeframe CISD/MSS sharp bounce back, never disappoints. Mostly keeps you on the right side of the game.

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

Inspirational!

Learn to trust your charts and trade with conviction. If you won’t trust your own charts, who else will? 🤔

[Price Action Trader @PAVLeader]

On a pullback, dont add to your position unless you see a clear CISD or MSS on lower timeframe. This pullback must meet the following conditions:

1. Must maintain the structure on the lower timeframe
2. Should sweep liquidity
3. Should be into an order block OR
4. Should be into a fair value gap
