we gave Claude access to edgeful's entire report database.
then we asked it to analyze the IB report on $NQ against 8 other reports across 258 sessions.
here are 5 of the most interesting findings (you'll want to check number 3):
How to read a 4-hour candle, stupidly simple with statistics to back it up & zero indicators needed:
Alot of people on my feed like to use H4 candles in some way. Specifically the NY 10am as this is the 4 hour candle that covers the entire NY session.
So statistically, we make the high/low of any time horizon in the first quarter more often than not. Given that a 4 hour candle can easily be divided into 4 1-hour candles, we can use this to our advantage.
Things to draw out:
> High/low of 10am-11am (Q1)
> Open price of 10am
IF the first quarter provides us a significant high/low THEN this means statistically price (in most cases) if it respects this statistic also means it moves away from Q1's opening price. So we use the Q1 open as our signal. Then once price takes the Q1 high or low, that is our confirmation.
In the example you see below, starting at 11am price got above 10am open = signal. Then moments later after it took Q1 high we can now expect more often than not that the low is set in for the next 3 hours AND the catalyst / pivot area to define risk can be the 10am open! This can be used to stay out of the wrong side of the market and also powerful times/areas to engage your entry drills.
Try it out and let me know what you think. Hope this helps
📊 Quarterly Range - a data-driven setup most traders don’t know about.
Quarterly Range is a higher timeframe sequence that tells you exactly which levels to target next. These aren’t random S/R lines - they’re levels with documented historical hitrates. 🎯
🔑 The core logic:
When a higher timeframe candle closes above the previous HTF candle, AND the next candle opens in the upper 25% of that previous candle’s range → the high of that previous HTF candle gets hit 80–90% of the time (depending on the asset). 🔥
Same logic works inverted for shorts. 📉
🛠️ I built an indicator around this. You pick whatever HTF you want, it plots the key levels on your chart, and a table in the upper-right shows you the historical hitrate for each level so you know exactly what edge you’re working with.

I used to wait for MSS every time.
Every entry was late. Every stop was too wide.
Every trade felt forced.
Then I learned CISD.
Everything changed.
Here's why 🧵
Apex Live does NOT “only ever” offer one account with a $3k drawdown.
Think about it for a moment. Does anyone truly believe the only prop firm in the industry allowing traders to manage up to 20 accounts would build a live environment with no scaling, no progression, and permanently limit successful traders to one live account forever?
That was never the vision for Apex Live.
Our goal is to build the best live trading environment in the industry, with progression, scaling, and larger long-term opportunities for serious traders.
The screenshots and summaries circulating on social media are not official Apex releases, did not come from Apex, is not Apex Live documentation and do not represent the full Apex Live Program.
Some of what is being shared came from an onboarding discussion and educational webinar. Somebody used AI and made a transcript summary of a small portion. One of the screenshots literally states: “This is a summary based on the onboarding webinar transcript…” This is NOT an Apex document or release and should not be taken as such.
What people are reacting to was one small part of one webinar out of a series of webinars. It was an introductory onboarding and education webinar from the Live Prop Division, not a webinar covering the finalized Apex Live structure.
Official Apex Live details and clarification will come directly from Apex.
