I test NQ edges on 7 years of data and post what actually holds — including what doesn't.

@Techriztm Facts. Consistency is staying with the process. Forcing a pattern the tape already invalidated isn’t discipline.

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@jtrader Facts. Fast usually means a reset. Slow is just staying in the same model long enough that you don’t have to start over.

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@LumiTraders Facts. Being right isn’t the job. Cutting it when the bias breaks is. That’s what keeps a bad read from turning into a bad day

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@DodgysDD The jump from broke to flashy is where most people start trading their image instead of their account, and the account usually pays for it

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@fredtrades Yeah 100%

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

SMT Divergence — the ICT classic.

Tested on 7yrs of NQ: +7–12pp reversal tilt. Turns out it holds up.

A genuine tilt — but even with SMT price continues >half the time. Confluence, not gospel.

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@_Ash_Trades_ Facts. A model never gets a real sample if it gets replaced after a handful of trades. Stay with one long enough to actually learn it

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@DodgysDD Sure 🤣😁

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@AndrewTradesNQ @Tradesyncer Yeah like that, too. What you think about Tradecopia

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@jtrader Every print is just the market repricing what it thinks happens next. Your job is not to argue with that candle

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@AndrewTradesNQ ATH gets broken more than swept is the bias. Still want the 9:30 manipulation before treating it like a full send

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@LumiTraders Nice ones

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@TTrades_edu The close is the filter. A wick outside without the close is still a reversal until the next candle proves otherwise

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@Tradeify Damn. Was too late

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@RektProof Clean. Break back into the range plus the MSB is the actual filter. Chasing the first push out is how that setup gets faded

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

@DodgysDD The time spent isn’t the issue. Treating it like a lottery instead of a skill is.

[Z3uS @Z3uS_Trading]

"Fade the open — it's a Judas swing." Is it? Tested on NQ 🧠

1,794 sessions (2019-2026): the first 15-min move is a fake that reverses the day only 37% of the time.

So the opening move CONTINUES ~63%. The Judas is the exception, not the rule — fading the open blind fights the odds. 📊
