When you've invested ample time and unwavering commitment in your game, the opinions of others fade into insignificance.

With time and unwavering obsession, it will come to fruition.

Confidence and conviction make everything else optional.

Ethereum is breaking free from the shackles of its former self.

Stripping away layers of opinionated design and unnecessary constraints, exposing the fundamental primitives of cryptographic verification, data availability and addressable state.

A permissionless foundation where users can bring their own zkVMs, ISAs, precompiles, logic and applications.

@breakoutprop Shame the fees are so high on Equities.. if it was similar to crypto fees you would be smashing it, would be surprised if many traders trade Equites/ oil or silver if the fees are the same!

@ingu100 @SSBradMCFC_ it’s only been favoured for the red cartel for how many decades.. there could still be a cap on spending/ wages for every club to be the same in prem so the balance is fair for all teams.. it was designed to keep certain teams at the top, would be way more competitive if done so

I feel as though my timeline is divided on whether the bottom is in...

I'm not sure it really matters.

I think it's important not to become overly fixated on how much lower price could go without asking the inverse question... what if I'm not positioned, and what's the opportunity cost if the upside is significant?

For me, it's less about prediction and more about trade expression.

Define the risk... put on an appropriate position when the market gives you enough reason to do so... and let MGI dictate what happens next.

Add, reduce, exit or invalidate as the information changes.

You can have an opinion, be wrong about the eventual path and still make money...

Equally, you can make the correct macro call and extract very little from it.

I remember selling the top of the Bitcoin market in around the 6th of Oct - before 10/10, yet I never once claimed "the top is in."

You simply don't know that in real time.

What mattered was how I was positioned and how I responded to the information the market subsequently generated.

Having a view is useful... being able to express that view with clearly defined risk whilst retaining the flexibility to be wrong is what actually matters.

I guess I've done alright this cycle... sold the top and then flipped my view around the lows in July and been increasing spot exposure.

Hindsight looks great when it comes to fruition... but in all honesty, you never really know.

You just have to embrace uncertainty tbh as markets can turn at any point... and I've been through enough cycles to see just how quickly shit can really hit the fan and screw ppl over.

Ultimately it's the downside that catches most out due to complacency or greed.

Survive that... and you give yourself the opportunity to participate in everything that comes after.

Auction Context – Market Profile as Your Map

Before you think about placing a trade, you want to know where in the auction cycle the market is.

Market Profile gives you the structure that most traders don’t see when they’re staring at candlesticks.

5 Core Concepts to Track:

1. Value Area High (VAH) / Value Area Low (VAL)
Defines the 70% of the session’s volume where most business was done.

Outside of value = “expensive” or “cheap” to the market participants.

2. Point of Control (POC)
Price with the most activity = a magnet in balance conditions.

3. Main Day Type Recognition (there are others)
3.1 Balanced -> Mean reversion more likely.

3.2Trend Day -> Initiative activity dominates which means profile elongates in one direction.

3.3 Double Distribution → Two distinct value zones; mid-point acts as a pivot.

4. Structural References
Single prints, low-volume nodes (LVNs) and (HVNs), poor highs/lows, unfinished auctions, each can act as magnets or barriers.

5. Why this matters:
Knowing the auction context lets you pre-define where business is likely to occur and where rejections are probable = which stops you from chasing every micro move.

NOW ONTO GAME PLAN:

Auction context feeds into your game plan.
You’re answering the following:

“Am I a buyer, seller, or observer today?”

“Where is my line in the sand?”

Premarket Prep Routine:

- Mark prior session VAH, VAL, POC.

- Mark overnight high/low and see how they relate to prior value.

- Note anomalies (e.g., single prints) that could be filled.

Decide if you’re looking for:
Initiative trades (price driving away from value) ?
Responsive trades (price returning to value) ?

Bias Examples:

Open above VAH + holding → Look for longs if order flow supports continuation.

Open inside prior value → Fade moves to VAH or VAL unless initiative order flow breaks out.

Mindset:
You should be able to write your bias in one sentence before the open. If you can’t, you’re not ready to trade.

Anyway just my 1 cent whilst Im watching a trade develop - cheers
