Charts are life 📊📈📉 I love charting at night! #PLTR paid today. I have a feeling this is one that I will be able to make money on all year, watch and see👀
My trading routine has been extremely simplified
Sunday night -> Scan inside weeks 3-2-2 rev strats 2d green 2u red look to play relative strength / weakness compared to sectors
Monday -> Scan in force weekly signals to identify simultaneous breaks [then buy them if enough evidence]
Monday Night -> Scan 3-2-2, rev strats, inside bars, 2d green 2u red look to play into FTFC ideally to trigger weekly signals or confirm monthly signals. Identify which weekly signals have broken to start the week going bright green/red & look for them to come back and buy/sell again on Tuesday. Momentum hammers momentum shooters with FTFC for confirming month/week signals that broke or are being re-confirmed.
Tuesday -> Scan daily signals in force for monday night's watchlist as actionable signal breaks. Add to positions from monday simultaneous breaks if they re-confirm. Add to the strongest stocks with FTFC and momentum signals confirming weekly/monthly signals.
Tuesday Night -> Look for momentum hammer/shooter daily signals confirming weekly/monthly signals after trading the same direction as monday. Look for inside bars on weekly signals that broke on monday. Identify anything setting up simultaneous 3-2-2, rev strat, 2d green 2u red or inside signals.
Wednesday -> Any positions monday tuesday should be good now with stops in place. Can now look to start setting up signals for next week or trade gaps / indexes while those positions play out.
Thursday same as wednesday
Friday off day or 0dte lotto friday with daily signals to confirm or setup weekly /monthly signals.
Given the new month is coming soon we can also use weekly signals to setup monthly signals as we near the close!
Here's the problem with trading education.
It's generic, boring and cynical.
Most influencers want to sell you their version of "the truth" about markets, which is usually just another price action "entry model" - a cherry picked scenario that claims to have very asymmetric risk reward.
A can't lose proposition.
That's retail clickbait in a nutshell.
There's a pattern or model, it always works (except when it doesn't), nothing matters except this model. Everything that isn't this model is retarded.
Add a compelling backstory about being abducted with a black hood over your head, being taken to a secret location across the border and being forced to program your way out of captivity by coding "the algo".
OK, maybe not that dramatic.
Here's the thing... trading education is about to make a long overdue shift back to reality.
The psychology of the trader has always mattered more than the pattern on the chart.
Knowing yourself and having the will and confidence to consistently execute makes a bigger difference than the latest school of thought that claims to "know where price is going with da bangers, yo".
I see some new groups actually focusing on the individual, not the market, and that's the way forward.
Every great trader doesn't talk about their wins. They talk about their mentors, their failures and their personal development journey.
The market is always going to be there every day, doing what markets do.
The trader that show up better makes progress, as lame as that sounds.
Every trader I've worked with or talked to that has turned the corner always says the same thing: they started seeing the charts differently.
That's not true. People are conditioned to be way too humble and polite for fear of causing offence.
They have the same eyes on the same charts, so it's their perspective on how they play the game that changed.
They see themselves differently, past their old beliefs.
Same eyes, different reality.
The chart can't prove anything to you.
You prove it to yourself and bring it to life through the chart.
It's called self awareness.
