If you use https://t.co/uBwy77Fip8, let me give you some advice that'll maintain your sanity whilst providing only the relevant information. Turn trade pings off. Turn liquidation pings on. Set it to the lowest possible threshold so you hear all liquidations. Moderate pings? Price is retesting an existing high or low. And if subsequently you hear a loud ping during low volatility hours, the MM's have hunted a stop. And if you here the pings scream -- that's a cascade, obviously. This allows you to simply use aggr for the pings and not have to view the charts so your set of eyes can focus on other tasks.

I have never seen an animal commit suicide.

I find it interesting that animals, especially apex predators, don't appear to conceptualize “hopelessness” the way humans do.

Even at the brink of death, they fight, bite, claw, and persist without turning their suffering into despair.

1. First thing I watch is the open.Are we opening inside or outside the previous day’s value?

2. Today we opened outside value, so the plan was simple: look for the VAH retest or the break inside value.

3. Could’ve taken the retest of VAH, but buyers were already showing exhaustion and never got rewarded.

4. Delta flipped & price breaked in value printing multiple sell-side imbalances. Waited for a retest of previous print.

5. Best target: the previous day’s unmitigated VPOC, where the most volume traded in the prior session.

abuse your unfair advantage everywhere

everyone has it

> if you live in your mom's basement w no responsibilities, work 12 hr days
> if your know a guy who knows a guy, call that guy
> if your parents paid for ur college, invest your time in up-skilling urself

you were not raised to be a bum

life isnt an even playing field

all the "winners" are not playing fair

to catch up you have to identify your unfair advantage

and abuse it

Price is the advertisement.
Time is the judge.
Volume is the vote.

Develop an understanding of these three can provide a contextual view of the market.

1. Price is an advertising mechanism.

price = invitation, not an agreement.
with this framework in mind, price goes up to advertise to sellers and goes down to advertise to buyers - an exploration process to confirm value.

2. Time regulates all advertised opportunities.

Opportunity decay- over time setup loses edge + anomalies are relevant over a certain period of time after which they become less important.

3. Volume determines the success or failure of these advertised opportunities.

As discussed earlier price is an advertisement, volume is the type and nature of participation at this advertisement.

Increased participation with aggressive conviction on a breakout/breakdown = acceptance.

Lack thereof = failed auction.

What bearish absorption looks like:

- price unable to make new highs
- delta makes new high (aggressive buying)

Limit sellers absorbing Market buyers

99.9% YOU WILL NOT BECOME A QUANT

i know what i'm talking about because i'm walking this path right now

18 months for 2 hours a day sounds like selling a course, not reality

you don't even know what kind of quant you want to become

quant trader, quant developer, quant researcher - these are three different professions

different level of knowledge, different salaries, from $300k to $4ml per year

and when you say “i want to become a quant”, you already showed that you didn’t even understand the basics

are you 30+? i'm almost sure of your failure

harsh? yes

but here is what people who actually work at citadel, jane street, de shaw write:

“it's like starting a new sport at 30 and going to the olympics”

“all my colleagues had 800 on the SAT math, all of them”

“our intern gets paid $175K per year. an intern"

if you were capable in mathematics, you would already know it, not after tiktok about trading,not after a screenshot of someone else's p&l

you would know it at school, when you solved problems out of interest, not for money

i'm a frontend developer, when i looked at the quant roadmap, i had to review many things and move to the next level

i already had the base - linear algebra, statistics, coding every day

and even with this base, when i reached stochastic processes and probability theory on a serious level, i sat over one problem for hours

reread one page five times and that's me - a person for whom mathematics is not something new

and now imagine:

you don't know the high school program because you were lazy

and you think you will “start the journey”

this is not a journey, this is playing into emptiness

but quant is not the only job on this path, while you study all this, you can become:

> financial consultant
> risk specialist
> data scientist
> middle office analyst
> get into sales & trading

getting there is 100 times more realistic

and they pay well and your knowledge will not go to waste

knowledge is power and i think you will definitely be able to apply it

just don't lie to yourself about where exactly you are going

YOU WILL NOT BECOME A QUANT

not because you're stupid. not because you don't have access to information

all the content is freee - MIT posted Strang's linear algebra course, Harvard gives away probability theory PDFs, Stanford - optimization

u won't become a quant because you dont have the discipline to solve 200 textbook problems in a row

cuz the moment you see an integral, your brain says "tooooooo hard" and you open TikToooook

while you're watching another 5-minute video "how I made $10K in a day trading crypto," a guy your age is sitting down deriving the BlackScholes equation from scratch.

nooot copying. Nooot googling the solution. takes a blank sheet, writes dΠ = rΠ dt, and an hour later he has the formula that underpins a trillion dollar derivatives industry on his desk

in 18 months he'll be making $300K-$500K u'll be complaining on Twitter that "markets are manipulated" and "the rich always win"

the difference isnt luck. the difference is that when he saw conditional probability P(A|B), he didn't close the article
he sat down and solved 50 problems until it became intuitive. and you read the definition, said "got it" and moved on. Spoiler: you didn't get it

here's the truth nobody tells you: Jane Street, Citadel, HRT - they're not looking for smart people they're looking for people who can sit on one problem for 6 hours and not give up

cuz in real trading, nobody's going to hand you a ready solution. The market is 5,000 simultaneous equations with 50,000 variables, and they're all changing every millisecond

the average Jane Street employee made $1.4 million per year in 2025. That's AVERAGE. Not top trader. Not a legend. Just a regular guy who knows what eigenvalue decomposition is and isn't afraid to use it

and you? You still think trading is about "feeling the market move"" That if you post cool profit screenshots on Telegram, someone will believe you know what you're doing

quants don't feel. Quants calculate. While you're guessing "will Bitcoin go up or down," they've already calculated that at current volatility σ=0.65, correlation with S&P ρ=0.43, and accounting for conditional probability based on onchain metrics, the expected value of going long is negative. So they short. And they take your money

this article gives you the entire roadmap. literally step-by-step what to learn, which books to read, what code to write. All free. All accessible. 18 months at 2 hours per day

but you won't start. because lvl 1 homework is "solve all problems from chapters 1-6 of Blitzstein's textbook" that's 150+ problems. and your brain has already found an excuse: "I don't need this, I'll just trade patterns"

okay. keep going. keep blowing up accounts and believing "next time I'll get lucky" And somewhere, a guy who's sitting today deriving Itô's lemma will be making your annual salary in a month in 2 years

and the funniest part? You'll read this text, feel a sting, maybe even tell yourself "damn, I need to get serious" u'll open the textbook. You'll see the first formula

and you'll close it

cuz you don't want to BE a quant. You want to LOOK LIKE a quant. And those are different things

@krszzs just need to find the edge

Successful Auction Theory in 4 key Points!

A successful auction happens when price moves into a new area and the market accepts that level, building value there instead of rejecting it. This signals continuation and creates trade opportunities in the direction of acceptance.

Here are the 4 key points:

1. What defines a successful auction

Price extends beyond a previous range or key level and holds. Instead of getting rejected back, it consolidates in the new area, building volume and accepting the new pricing. This shows buyers or sellers are in control and the move has legs. Volume Profile will show significant trading activity in the new zone, not just a quick spike and rejection.

2. How to spot them

Look for a breakout followed by consolidation in the new area. Price should spend multiple candles building value, not just wicking through and reversing. Check Volume Profile to confirm trading activity. If the PoC shifts into the new zone, the auction is successful. Furthermore, the previous resistance should flip to support on a bullish auction, or support should flip to resistance on a bearish auction.

3. How to trade them

Don't chase the initial breakout. Wait for the consolidation phase, then buy the retest of the breakout level once it's been established as new support or resistance. Entry is on the pullback to the flipped level. Stop loss below the new structure. Target the next logical resistance or continuation pattern. This approach keeps your risk tight while riding the acceptance phase.

4. When to be cautious

If price struggles to build value in the new area or keeps revisiting the prior range, the auction might be failing. Low volume in the new zone is a red flag. Also watch for extended moves without consolidation, these often lead to exhaustion and reversals. Successful auctions need time to build, not just quick spikes.

Successful auctions show you where the market wants to go. Trade with the acceptance, not against it. Imho this is one of the cleanest ways to ride trends with defined risk.
