Haven’t the foggiest… 🫠

[Developing Traders Edge @DTradersEdge]

Look at that Daily gap this morning that I mentioned in the video yesterday…

Some people really don’t know what they be talking about 👀

The only difference with me is I’m not gonna act like I know what I’m talking about…

I obviously don’t 😝

But look at what I say and what’s actually happening…

Might seem similar…. Or maybe they rhyme!

NQ expanded higher during the 10AM Silver Bullet… then reversed. 📈📉

@Ictconcepts Your definitely right! Thanks for that advice!

I’m down for all positive criticisms. That’s how we improve 💪🏽

I think it helps when we can communicate positively and use each others insight and perspectives to gain deeper understanding to these mechanics! 🫡

[Developing Traders Edge @DTradersEdge]

📉 NQ DAY 30 — SIX WEEKS COMPLETED!

Premarket: Mixed profile.

Opening: Bearish expansion + retracement.

Before 10 AM: Buyside liquidity run.

RTH Gap: CE not reclaimed.

Silver Bullet: Downside expansion, then return toward first FVG.

30 sessions documented. 10 to go!

[Developing Traders Edge @DTradersEdge]

@Ictconcepts The last 10 sessions in my public study would have included a FOMC week. Going by the data I have shared publicly we only have 2 weeks of tracking the Silver Bullet hour. But I will continue to report my finding and present larger sample sets and data to confirm.

[Developing Traders Edge @DTradersEdge]

@Ictconcepts Keeping it mind we are still stacking data I love to study the failed days a lot more and measuring what creates those rocky and damn right disrespectful returns to 1st P

[Developing Traders Edge @DTradersEdge]

@Ictconcepts Really Ones Know! 🫡
The actual sauce is the work we put in!

One of the biggest factors I have seen so far and keeping in mind this is farrrr from enough data to be a statistical edge but News event and the RTH gaps have given the most insight to clean first returns! 😉
