The market tells you the entire day's direction before 9:30 AM even opens
Not with indicators. Not with news. Not with "gut feeling"
With a single candle that printed 3 hours before you woke up
95% of retail traders show up at 9:30 blind. The 5% who check this one thing already know which way the market is going before the opening bell rings
Here's what nobody teaches you:
Every trading day has a script. And the script gets written between 2:00-6:00 AM while you're sleeping
It works like this:
The market moves in sessions. Asia. London. New York. Each session has a job. And if you understand the job of each session, you already know what the next one is going to do before it opens
The sequence:
If the previous session REVERSED - the next session CONTINUES
If Asia reversed? London continues. If London reversed? New York continues. If no session reversed? New York is the reversal
That's it. That's the entire daily script. The market rotates between reversal and continuation across sessions. It has done this every single day for decades
Here's how the script actually plays out:
SCENARIO 1: London reversal -> New York continuation
London opens at 2:00 AM. It pushes price into a key level - previous day's high or low, a fair value gap, a relevant swing. It sweeps the liquidity. It reverses. By 6:00 AM, London has already decided the direction
The 6:00 AM candle confirms it. If it swept a high and closed back below it - bearish day. If it swept a low and closed back above it — bullish day
Now New York opens at 9:30. The direction is already decided. NY's job is not to figure out where the market is going. NY's job is to CONTINUE what London started
This is why the 9:30-11:00 window is so powerful. You're not guessing. You're continuing a move that's already confirmed
Price opens. It pulls back into a fair value gap that London's expansion created. That gap is your entry. Stop behind the gap. Target the next liquidity pool. Done by 10:30
SCENARIO 2: No previous session reversed → New York reversal
Asia consolidated. London consolidated. No session made a move. No expansion. No gaps. No direction
This means New York has to do it. 9:30 is the reversal session
This is where the volume comes in. 8:30 news or 9:30 open - institutions use this to push price into a key level, grab liquidity, and reverse
You wait for the sweep. You wait for the displacement. You wait for the V-shape signature - aggressive move in, aggressive move out, gap forms. That's your reversal confirmation
SCENARIO 3: Asia reversal → London and New York continue
This is the highest probability day. Asia already put in the low or high of the day. Every session after just expands in the same direction
When Asia is the low of day, the 4-hour candles that form after will be expansion candles. Those expansion candles create gaps. Those gaps are your entries for London and New York continuation
You mark the gap within the previous 4-hour candle's range. You wait for price to pull back into it. You enter. Same direction all day. Multiple opportunities. Same setup repeating
The model behind all of this:
Price only does two things. It moves from internal liquidity to external liquidity. Then back. Forever
Internal = fair value gaps. Where orders didn't fill. Where price returns
External = swing highs and lows. Where stops sit. Where price sweeps
Price sweeps external -> fills internal -> targets opposite external
Every session. Every day. Every asset. Every time frame
The session just tells you WHEN the next leg of that cycle starts
How I use this every morning:
6:00 AM - Check the 4-hour chart. Did the previous session reverse or just consolidate? If London reversed, I'm trading New York continuation. If nobody reversed, I'm trading New York reversal
6:05 AM - Mark the 6 AM candle. Did it sweep a key level and close back inside the range? Reversal day. Did it expand through? Continuation day
9:15 AM - Mark the gap from London's expansion. That's my entry zone. Mark the next external liquidity. That's my target
9:30 AM - Watch for price to pull back into the gap. If I'm trading continuation, I want a shallow retracement. If I'm trading reversal, I want the V-shape
9:45 AM - Entry confirmed. Stop behind the gap. Target the next draw on liquidity
10:30 AM - Either in profit or stopped out. Done
11:00 AM - Laptop closed. Day is over
A trader I work with used to show up at 9:30 and "react to price action" for 6 hours. 43% win rate. Breaking even after fees
I told him one thing: check what the previous session did before you sit down
He started profiling sessions. London reversed? He only looked for continuation. Nobody reversed? He waited for the 9:30 sweep and reversal setup. No setup in the first 90 minutes? He closed the laptop
Same strategy. Same setups. Same risk. Added one filter
Win rate went from 43% to 64%. First funded account within 60 days. Now he's done trading by 10:30 every morning
He didn't learn a new strategy. He learned to read the script that the market writes every morning before he wakes up
The sessions tell you the direction. This model tells you the entry. The gap tells you where. The sweep tells you when
Most traders spend 6 hours searching for setups that the market already showed them at 6 AM
The script is free. It prints every single morning. You just have to learn to read it
Or keep showing up at 9:30 blind and wondering why you're not profitable
Your choice

Taking a moment on this auspicious Diwali week to reflect on my last 6 years in trading.
This will be filled with real lessons and it would be a 10-12 mins read. I promise you will leave with a mind full of real perspectives.
Firstly before we start off, thanks a lot to each and every reader who has been supporting me & encouraging me during this journey, definitely that has given a great motivational push to do better & deliver quality to each one of you.
Today it's 120,000 of you connected with me in Twitter, that's really massive. That's a full stadium & nothing short of immense happiness. I hope you have always got some value on a everyday basis from my real time commentary & views. Yes sometimes due to the market's nature of turning upside down too quickly, i would have changed my views pretty quick aligning with the market not caring about what I felt a few hours ago, which i know might look like something wrong to a new viewer but even the legends will have to be adaptable and fluid & flow with the market changing opinions quickly if required as our goal is not to stick with what we felt yesterday but to act on whats happening today, even though it actually is against what we told yesterday. Definitely something that's looked down in the real world but really helpful to have that kind of fluidity in markets as it rewards it.
I will obviously try to flow with market and make money rather than sticking with what I told yesterday and miss an opportunity, many of you have questioned me about this, so i thought this would be a great juncture to put this forward to everyone and understand me & not question me at such times.
Coming forward to trading, I have had a decent year with almost 18% up so far in my Equity while not the best performance, but pretty good considering a bad market. I have achieved a 16X returns in the last 5 years but many of that has happened without the exact clarity of the trades sometimes because some of the trades while i was taking them 4 years ago didnt have so much conceptual clarity but more about being in the right direction of a bull market. I would definitely want to perform for another 5-6 years consistently before I can actually tag myself as a super performing swing trader
A few lessons for everyone that might really be helpful in your journey
1. Always have some kind of risk management, if it's investment, keep a regulated position size & as a trader a stop loss is your Laxman Rekha. Follow it judiciously, sometimes your SL will get hit and the stocks will bounce but believe me 10 bad trades can spoil your year but 25 small losses cant if you are being in the right direction as getting winners is inevitable in a bull market.
2. Don't try to earn money in a haste. When i started it was a massive bull market where anything I touch was working like rocket. Today the environment is way harder and i think there is no point in pushing the gas too hard suddenly
3. I started off with 7% stoploss and now use 2-5% stoploss, when you suddenly start of with 2-3% as a beginner, you will choke off & i think it will be detrimental to you as you might have too many losing trades, gradually reduce
4. Respect the overall market environment more than anything. If you only look at setups and dont give heed to what the market is telling you, you will end up in a disaster.
5. Slow is smooth. Smooth is Fast. This is by far the single line that can help you to achieve what you want without taking too much stress.
6. Super performance is not necessary, have optimal aim of 20-25% per year initially achieve it by following the Point no.5 & then increase your goal and aim smoothly.
7. If you are learning start small don't bring in big capital and gamble, learn with small capital and size up when you are confident of your strategies & risk management
Last but not the least, 2025 will always be a very special year for me, I got an opportunity to share my journey to the world through my @traderlion Annual trading conference 2025. @RichardMoglen was a great host & my part of the conference got a massive response thanks to all of you.
That's it from my side. Just leave your comment about any impact I have created in your journey in the last few years and a Like & Retweet if you think this is valuable.
We are no where close to a bull market in Indian Stock Markets 🇮🇳
Still 50% of stocks are below their respective 200DMA.
Dont get into FOMO
Very poor markets overall. Stay away, stay small & trade as less as possible.
Going for a break/vacation as there is nothing to look&trade in this market
The legend O'Neil himself goes wrong many time in what could happen in the market with all the experience & knowledge. But what keeps him at the top is his ability to quickly change decisions when the market is acting otherwise
This is the Muscle required for SuperPerformance
