Leaning bearish on the short term until I see the 1hr reset
IF for some reason it starts pushing up in the next hour or so I would expect the big short at 64800 to give us added bearish divergence
Today's rules: less trades, good zones only, cut losers early.

A lot of people ask me how I learned charting
I literally copied @thelordofentry's charts for months
Do it enough times and eventually you stop copying.
AI is making everyone a better analyst.
It summarises charts, spots patterns, explains indicators, builds trading strategies...
...but it won't sit with you after three losing trades, and it won't stop you from revenge trading.
The majority will need human connection to stay sane and make it in trading.
Information is becoming free, great people are becoming priceless.
Understanding how lower timeframe (LTF) candles combine to create powerful Higher Timeframe (H1) patterns is a game-changer.
It helps you see the real story behind the noise and spot high-probability setups.
Trading will probably give you more bad days than good for the first YEARS.
But if you keep turning up and doing the work it can genuinely change your life.
I know it changed mine.
If you just got into trading and want to quit your 9-5 by next month, you're in the wrong game.
This shit takes years. And it's brutal.
Most won't make it because they're not prepared for the grind, but if you stick with it long enough making 10k+ months while only spending a couple of focused hours on the charts is absolutely possible.
The higher the timeframe, the lower the stress.
If your setup comes from the daily or 8hr chart stop judging it on a 15min candle.
Give good trades the time they deserve.
If you've been trading for years and you're sill struggling to be profitable, it's very likely you don't have an information problem - you have an execution problem.
You can spend years collecting strategies, indicators, opinions, convincing yourself you're getting closer to profitability.
It feels like progress because learning is comfortable. Trading isn't.
The market wont reward the trader who knows the most, it rewards the trader who can execute the same edge over and over, manage risk when they're wrong, and stay consistent when emotions take over.
Knowledge can point you in the right direction but only screen time can turn it into a real skill.
Things I don't compromise on:
- Looking after my health
- Learning every day
- Protecting my financial position
- Staying disciplined
- Making new mistakes (not repeating old ones)
you want to turn your performance around, you must get to a point where you simply don't have time to be mediocre anymore. You must get sick and tired of being sick and tired. You have to make a decision once and for all and commit to the following.
1. No more big losses
2. No more listening to unproven self-proclaimed gurus
3. No more style drift
4. No more excuses
You must cut your losses religiously, commit to a sound approach, stop looking for short cuts, and start taking personal responsibility.
The difference between average traders and pro traders is simple:
Average traders panic in drawdown.
Pro traders cut losers fast.
Average traders take profits too early.
Pro traders let winners grow.
Average traders fear volatility.
Pro traders understand it’s part of the game.
Most traders trade emotionally.
Professionals trade probabilities.
The market rewards discipline, not comfort.
Be more like the pros.
