@bigbaby_money @AdamMancini4 Hey, JP! Claude "Projects"... and yes, it's live and connected directly to my TradingView & prop accounts. I get updates throughout the day and any time I prompt Claude. I've been sharing the reports & process here daily for weeks now. 👍

[Ben @PatternProfits]

The sweep/reclaim strategy that I've spent months teaching Claude has my own rules & I'll trade both $ES & $NQ in either direction, but a tip of the 🧢 must go to @AdamMancini4. His trading style made perfect sense once I learned how to map my own GEX levels. 🙏

HAGW all! ✌️

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@Red_Bear72 Thank you, Red Bear! 🙏

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@Red_Bear72 Hey! You're reading it right here. About 2 years worth of futures trading and sharing every step along the way. If you want a general overview of how I trade & what I look for, it's a trip over to YouTube...

@mega_posa @AdamMancini4 Hi, Harshal. Everything is live for me & trading prop. It's all on my timeline. Everything with Claude is shared here since February. I don't find my levels the same way Adam does. My entire process is different & I shared that, too. Most recent thread...

@shrederickson @JKBTrades_ 💯 Agree. The more variables, the more headaches!

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@NSharmaTrades Welcome, Nitin. Always best when they're in agreement and right in sync. That's the A+ trade to at least IB high/low.
Have a great weekend!

[Ben @PatternProfits]

$ES IB upside break. 🎯

[Ben @PatternProfits]

$NQ IB downside break. $ES trying for the upside break.

Everyone or nobody gets what they want this morning, I guess. What a mess! 7459 still 🔑 if one chooses to participate.

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@JKBTrades_ @shrederickson Thanks, JKB.

No problem. Fire away, if/when needed.

[Ben @PatternProfits]

I either don't trade IB at all or I wait for the SMT where one contract takes the high/low and the other one doesn't... then I can trade the retrace or wait to trade the continuation depending on context. If I take a pass on IB completely, it's no big deal as I have plenty of other strategies to lean on.

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@AnneBruns13 😂 Nope. You're not alone, Anne! I'm right there with you!

[Ben @PatternProfits]

The biggest win of the week was not chasing B- setups yesterday after missing my A+ entry. I was pretty down on myself as I hadn't let that happen in quite some time. I didn't let it snowball & then made up for it today. There's a lesson in there for newer traders. 👍

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@Renato_64 Welcome, Renato. Have a great weekend!

[Ben @PatternProfits]

$NQ $ES 👀 ⚡️

[Ben @PatternProfits]

GM. All my own. Same strategies as in my pinned post.

NQ... 15min ORB to 50% ext. ✅️
IB for NY, Asia & London. ✅️✅️✅️
AM TBR .25 std dev tag, retrace to 8am open. ✅️
Lunchbox/Magic Hours not ready. Stop placement the issue. It's close, but I don't love it as is.

ES... 30min ORB to TBL. ✅️ I have this one set to tag Asia, London or PDH/PDL, whichever is unmitigated & sits as the lowest hanging fruit. If none, it defaults to ORB 50% ext. Exactly the same strategy as my YouTube video I shared a couple years ago & the 1st futures strategy I ever used. Strongly considering changing it to PDH/PDL targets only with the 50% ext default because it leaves a lot of money on the table and probabilities don't drop off much with that adjustment. It only fires once & may capture 10+ handles or so even when the market moves 50+ handles. It does exactly what it's supposed to do & is great, but if I'm going to let anything run on trend days & try to capture a much larger move, to me this needs to be the one. 🤔

Working on the GEX level sweep/reclaim but have only been able to come up with a quick but manually entered & gated "ticket" that fires on command. Not fully automated like all the others... but once entered, it's a limit order so it can sit there & rest in the market until triggered. It's fine & works as is, but would love to get it 100% automated & paired up with Claude's setups⚡. Claude is not being cooperative with this last one, even though it built all the others. 😡

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@shrederickson @JKBTrades_ 💯 Agree. I've got a solid 6 months in & just started two new strategy automations this week. Plus, I'm changing the way it's all logged & tracked this weekend. I'm up to 6 algos with 2 pending but not even close to where @shrederickson is. So much more work to do. It's endless!

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@MarkB39156032 🤣 Yep... everyone is now entitled to a full refund!

Have a great weekend, Mark! Hope all is well!

[Ben @PatternProfits]

Apologies! Several mentions/questions went unanswered over the last few days. I did not get notifications. I don't leave anyone hanging. I had to scroll back through posts just now to see them & answer. If there's anything/anyone I didn't respond to please fire away here. Thanks

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@TheShadowHeDo MCP. I had concerns, but now it's one of the best things I've done for myself. Saves a ton of time and now the trading itself is starting to pay off as Claude has learned how I trade. Just fyi... I said "I'll explore this weekend" too -> that was in February. Still going! 😂

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@TheShadowHeDo Hey! Claude is connected to my TradingView account. It has live data whenever it needs it or whenever I prompt. It reads my charts, my indicators, it's own indicators and even draws all my levels. The only data I feed it is the options data from the CBOE for the GEX levels.

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@JKBTrades_ 🤣😂

[Ben @PatternProfits]

It's currently linked to prop. This is brand new over the last few days. Claude went this path on its own in a single report (which I liked) and then we tightened it all up for future reports. That's what we're viewing. Still a work in progress on how I want to track it all going forward.

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@Woolten_Fete @JKBTrades_ Noooo! 🤦‍♂️

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@auburn2007 @TrashTraderInv Sorry about the delay. I didn't get a handful of notifications. This happened to be one of them.

Thanks, Auburn! Same to you!

[Ben @PatternProfits]

Patience pays! $NQ joins $ES with an IB upside break as 1st FVG after 10am prints green. 🎯

Now, risk is easier to manage for runners to Asia high/PDH. 💪

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@JKBTrades_ TopStep has an API for $14.50/month if you trade prop with them. Code "topstep" 50% off the regular $29/mo. Claude can guide you through the rest.

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@VandelayTradez 😂🤣

[Ben @PatternProfits]

I'm not a fan of trading Friday afternoons, especially after a solid morning. Monday mornings and Friday afternoons tend to be times I give some back according to my stats... and I'm not willing to do that today.

[Ben @PatternProfits]

@PatternProfits How does your weekly report pull when you entered exit trades

have you linked it to your broker or journal?
