91% SHORTS in London.
Price delivered beautifully.

New York 8-9 almost delivered too - TP missed by only a few ticks.

ORB15?
No entry.

And that is exactly why probability beats prediction.

Most traders want every session to give them a trade.

I don’t.

London gave the clean short.
NY 8-9 gave the right idea, just missed TP by a few ticks.
ORB15 gave no valid execution - so there was nothing to force.

This is the difference between trading with odds…
and chasing candles.

Some sessions deliver.
Some sessions miss by a few ticks.
Some sessions give no trade at all.

But the job stays the same:

Direction first.
Confirmation second.
Execution third.

Another day with the odds on our side.

Would you have forced ORB15…
or accepted the no trade?

Every four years you go into a closet and it's got a shower curtain and inside is an Israeli voting machine where you choose between a red elephant or a blue donkey and it's "democracy" and then everything gets better that way. Right? Wrong! Catch my interview with @SGTReport on how to escape the illusion and pursue real freedom:
First, watch 'The Jones Plantation' if you still haven't.
Then, watch Jason Christoff's new documentary 'PlanetMindControl' to see how far down the rabbit hole the mind control actually goes.
Next: You just need to step away from all their systems, and that would include their #financial systems. STOP USING THEIR FIAT CURRENCIES. And, stop using their #banking system. Stop paying them, giving them your money, which is things like taxes, which you don't even have to do. Go to https://t.co/8P9V3RCsNN to see how it's done.
Finally, if you stopped using their currency, stop feeding them YOUR currency.

Every week I backtest the previous week’s ORB15 9:30–9:45.

Not to predict with emotion.
Not to cherry-pick winners.

But to prove one rule:
Trade ONLY toward the more probable side.

Last week:
Monday: delivered, but no valid trade
Tuesday: delivered +2R
Wednesday: delivered +2R
Thursday: delivered +2R
Friday: delivered +2R

The entries were not complicated.
iFVG.
CISD.
Basic ICT confirmation.

The edge was not in the entry.
The edge was knowing which direction NOT to trade.

Direction first.
Confirmation second.
Execution third.

How many more weekly backtests before traders stop calling probability “luck”?

[Herman Trading @RHerman]

Even on a US Bank Holiday, the algorithm still delivered.

Today ORB15 showed only 63% bias (New York Session)

Not 80%.
Not 90%.
Just 63%.

But you know what happened?
Price still delivered into the more probable side.

That is the part most traders miss.

The market does not need a “perfect day” to respect probability.

Even with reduced volume.
Even with holiday conditions.
Even when most traders expect nothing clean.

Direction still matters first.

ORB15 gave the bias.
The algorithm delivered the price.

Would you trust 63% on a Bank Holiday?

Most traders are not losing because their entry is bad.
They are losing because they are trading the
WRONG DIRECTION.

That’s why Intelligent Balance indicator is so powerful.

It gives me 2 pieces of information before I even think about entry:

-The direction I should NOT trade.
-The direction where I should hunt for trade entry.

If the model says LONGS are more probable…

I’m not interested in shorts.

I don’t care how clean the bearish iFVG looks.
I don’t care how obvious the liquidity sweep looks.
I don’t care how “A+” the short setup looks on the chart.

Wrong direction = no trade.

Then my job becomes simple:
Wait for price to give me a valid entry model toward the more probable side.
iFVG.
CISD.
Sweep.
MSS.
Delivery shift.

Most traders are obsessed with entries.

I’m obsessed with filtering out the trades I should never take.

Because the setup is not the edge.
The bias is the edge.
The entry is just the trigger.

Would you still take a “perfect” short setup if your model showed LONGS as the more probable side?

[Herman Trading @RHerman]

Here is what an A+ setup looks like using Intelligent Balance:

The indicator identifies the statistically more probable side.

I completely ignore trades in the opposite direction.

I wait for price to create a familiar entry model toward that side:
• liquidity sweep
• MSS
• iFVG
• CISD

I execute only when the entry confirms the direction already identified by the data.

That is it.

The entry model is not the edge by itself.
An iFVG can appear in both directions.
A sweep can trap you.
A textbook MSS can still fail.

The real advantage is knowing which setups to ignore.

My rule is simple:
-Direction first.
-Confirmation second.
-Execution third.

I trade ALWAYS and ONLY toward the more probable side.

Would this filter improve your trading - or do you still take every setup you see?

This week, I was chatting to Chris Martenson, the founder of @PeakProsperity (https://t.co/2oo2utez74) about the global warming hoax meet the carbon credit hoax. They've said for years they want people to stop flying, they want them in smart cities, they want them to stop using oil powered cars, things like that. Except, people weren't falling for it, especially as it's not getting hotter anywhere, in many places it's actually getting cooler. And, as soon as they needed power for #datacenters the whole #climate story just went away. Right? So I think this is what their next plan is... 'let's just make it so the flock doesn't have oil and food and then we'll get to our goals'. That's basically where we're now.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 US and Israel launch strikes across Iran, with operations expected to intensify in the coming hours, targeting hundreds of Iranian sites.

Reportedly, there are also clashes between American and Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's IRGC says it is now preparing to launch major strikes against Israel.

This week, #Zcash dropped nearly 50%! (In short, it’s had an #inflation bug for more than 4 years and now there are more rats scurrying from the ship than a Hantavirus hoax cruise)

I’ve always been highly suspicious of Zcash, and with good reason:

In short, Zcash is basically short for Zionist Cash, and they actually had a seed round done by the CIA, the developer buying privacy focused cryptocurrencies. Zcash has raised 500,000 from In-Q-Tel, the venture capital arm of the US CIA. You also might want to know that Zcash's headquarters are six minutes away from the CIA headquarters.

Then there's Zcash and the Epstein files... including the email correspondences between Madars Virza, a co-founder of Zcash, and Jeffrey Epstein. Those emails reportedly involved tax documentation and income related to Zcash linked work along with a gift package sent to Epstein.

The US is planning to give Iran $300 billion for "rebuilding" after the destruction stops. Let that sink in. They steal trillions from the American taxpayer, use billions to blow Iran to smithereens, and then they claim they will give $300 billion to rebuild it.

It’s the perfect racket. Create the problem, fund the solution, and pocket the difference in the middle. They did this with World War I and World War II. Blow it up, steal the gold, put the population into debt slavery, and rebuild everything under a new centralized control system. Except this time what they're rebuilding is not for humans. It’s for the AI. They need the infrastructure for the 6G networks, the smart grids, and the biometric surveillance systems. They don't want people living in these historic zones; they want nodes on the network. #IranDeal #IranWar

I put @grok and @claudeai in the same private channel.

Then I asked them to agree on one Bitcoin prediction for 2030.

Inside my Herman AI 🦞 Tech Collab channel, they started discussing it with each other.

Grok challenged Claude.
Claude challenged Grok.

They debated adoption, institutional demand, supply dynamics and the biggest risks.

Then they reached one final conclusion together.

And honestly…

I did not expect that answer.

Their agreed Bitcoin prediction for 2030:
**Bearish** | $80K–$250K
**Neutral** | $400K–$650K
**Bullish** | $700K–$1.5M
**Extreme Bull** | $1.5M+ |

Are Grok and Claude completely hallucinating…
or does the Herman AI 🦞 collab know something we do not?

Everyone talks about smarter robots.

Few people talk about where the training data comes from.

That’s exactly what $COBALT is focused on.

Instead of relying on expensive hardware setups and expert operators, they let people use their phones to remotely control robots and generate demonstrations from anywhere.

Simple idea.

Massive implications.

The more demonstrations collected, the better robot models become.

The community seems to understand the vision too, raising over $5,000 in 3 days to help accelerate development.

Physical AI needs data.

$COBALT is building a platform to collect it at scale.
