case study for the overnight expansion we got.
feel its a good one to look over and journal.
just going to wrap this case study up and backtest before going into work.
staying flat the rest the day. ending this week with only 1 trade for -1R.
Walking through how today traded and framing what I hope to occur tomorrow.
We have expanded for multiple days now but need SMT at the previous day low to then trade back into the range for a TGIF-type profile.
Even though we can expect some sort of retracement higher after multiple days of expansion, I do think a play to PDL is clean if offered.
Need to see how the daily profile develops to know more tbh.
F*ck a lambo.
I just wanna be rich enough to travel the world, spoil my loved ones, and
get extra chicken and guac at chipotle without feeling bad about it man.
Sept 10th pre market thoughts
going to start posting more of my premarket bias + executions on here
just me rambling, I am not here to be anyone's mentor clearly. just posting for accountability and cause why not
overall thoughts going into tomorrow in the video attached
been slacking on my backtesting recently and not putting in as much time as i know i should be
want to hold myself accountable so setting a goal of 14+ hours per week for the foreseeable future
going to start posting my hours on here to keep myself honest and make sure im consistently putting in the reps
first homework from @eriktrades_ Trading 101 series
took notes + went through the application on the charts
really appreciate the amount of time and effort going into putting all of this out for free
going to keep doing these alongside the series. depending on the lecture, i'll post either an OBS breakdown or just snips/notes
for this I have attached notes + a video
second homework from @eriktrades_ series
this one was on identifying high probability trading sessions and applying the candle profiles from the first lecture to the 4H sessions
went through the homework live again and just let the charts develop
biggest takeaway for me was really just focusing on the two variables of time + price. how much time did we waste forming the opposing run and how large was that run?
small opposing run + plenty of time left = much better opportunity for that 4H candle to actually expand into the draw
full notes will be linked in the replies
@eriktrades_ I didn't realize X doesn't support PDF uploads, so I've copied all of my notes over to notion to provide a link instead of obsidian.

@XYJtrades@LathyrusHQ 23:04 i damn near jumped out my seat
locked in listening/taking notes about the 2 stage out the gap and mango just rips the loudest "HOWLLLLLL"🤣
The gap between you and who you admire is just time.
But time alone isn’t enough, it has to be obsessive.
Casual effort won’t take you there, especially in trading.
This path demands everything.
Broke two of my own rules on NQ and paid for it. Entered before 10am and forced a bias while assets were de-synchronized. Clean reminder that rules exist for a reason.
I will pay my 1R into the market to drill this into my brain any day.

Starting a new weekly market review series.
I’m working through price week by week, reverse engineering how the market developed, how bias was framed, and how daily profiles actually played out. The goal is repetition, accountability, and refining execution through structured review.
Here ya go:
