@robert_rother puts it well: patience is not the quiet part of trading...

...It is the filter 🎯

The setup either earns your attention, or it doesn’t. And forcing a trade just because the screen is moving is usually where the damage starts

Made $0 today.

37 funded accounts. 30+ years of experience. And I sat on my hands for most of the session.

Here's why that's the most profitable decision I made all week. 🧵

[Robert Rother @robert_rother]

Sentiment at 45. VWAP was flat all session. Standard deviations compressed.

That's the market telling you: there's no edge right now.

The best trade is sometimes no trade. Flat VWAP + no directional commitment = protect your capital and wait.

Simple beats complicated.

Today was a 45/100 sentiment day. Choppy. Indecisive. Frustrating.

Most traders forced entries anyway.

Here's what 30 years taught me about days like this 🧵

[Robert Rother @robert_rother]

End of day. Sentiment at 45 — market couldn't commit.

When price hovers around VWAP all session without conviction, that's not "nothing happening." That's institutions waiting.

No trade today. And that was the right trade.

The best trade is sometimes no trade.

Neutral sentiment days like today remind me of something.

In 2008 I made $800K in a single day during the subprime crash. Pure chaos. Everyone panicking.

But the hardest days to trade? Days like this. Flat. Undecided. Boring.

The best traders are the most boring ones.

After 30+ years trading and 7 years in Chinese prison, here's what separates survivors from statistics:

[Robert Rother @robert_rother]

Zero trades today. Watched the screens, didn't see my edge. That's not a boring day — that's a SUCCESSFUL day. You can't lose what you don't risk.

Market volatility spiking as breaking news hits the wire. Watch VWAP closely—institutions will anchor there during the chaos. This is when discipline separates professionals from the crowd. Stay calculated, not emotional. #trading #marketstructure #VWAP

[Robert Rother @robert_rother]

Everyone's bullish on NQ today.

You know what that means after 30 years?

Time to be careful.

Extreme consensus = highest risk.

Protect your capital first. Always.

#DayTrading #PropTrading

[Robert Rother @robert_rother]

NQ futures showing strong bullish sentiment pre-market. VWAP at 19,340 — watching for first touch.

The market rewards patience, not greed.

Bookmark this level. 📈

🚨 Microsoft Earnings = Trading Chaos

Took only 1 trade, then done.
Why? Earnings season = unpredictable volatility

Lesson: Don't need to trade every move
Discipline > Greed 📈

There’s something fascinating about watching a trader break down a replay the way Laura Schwirten did:

Not just an entry on NQ — but a full story unfolding on the Bookmap screen. 👀

@bookmap_pro Mega!!

In last week’s Order Flow Trading, Robert Rother spotlighted one of his most reliable setups: the settlement price.

It’s the official closing price from the previous session, and Robert uses it as a magnet for trades. His process is simple: mark the level, wait for the price to return, and look for confirmation to go short or long. No overcomplication—just consistent results.

As Robert put it, it’s simple, powerful, consistent.
Combined with his VWAP framework, the settlement price becomes a high-probability level traders can plan around, instead of reacting to noise.

Last week’s Order Flow Trading with Robert Rother was a reminder that discipline is the real edge.
From his VWAP-based setups to the simplicity of settlement price trades, Robert showed how sticking to a plan keeps traders in the game when markets turn unpredictable.

As he put it: “The market has no mercy - only your rules matter.” This mindset shapes every trade he takes, and might be a lesson worth bringing to your own strategy.

Today, Robert is back, breaking down the market in real time: watching VWAP reactions, settlement price levels, and the liquidity shifts that signal it’s time to act.

Whether it’s a clean bounce or a surprise breakout, you’ll see how he applies his rules in live market conditions.
