$ES Futures Trader: Price Action+Order Flow.

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

1 loss, 1 win

Another breakeven day trading #ES_F $ES.

Maybe a little too eager on the first entry. Had liked the aggressive buying above pre-market highs. Tried again, got the win but had to lock it in. Not in position to play for a bigger move.

Glad to be done with March 😵‍💫

The theme of the month for me is breakeven.

Feeling so unbothered about it though because it's just not a month to press size in equities.

It helps to have a business outside of trading to be focused on and excited about.

Truly one of the most underrated trading hacks.

@imTylerTrades 10:00 hour is the new Asia 😵‍💫

Caught the reversal on $ES_F $ES off the open.

Tried for the continuation move lower to fill the gap but got stopped out to end the day breakeven.

I can't control the outcome, only the risk.

Retail ICT traders don't know how to find real "Order Blocks" because they just trade the price pattern.

Order flow gives you the full picture.

This morning at 10:00 a large +1034 aggressive buyer can be seen on the tape at the #ES_F 6598.00 level.

The entire 10:00 hour price kept retesting this level but buyers continued to defend price ultimately pushing it higher to fill the overnight RTH gap, enough for me to bag my 1:1 scalp and get out.

Shorts off the open.

Same setup, different day.

#ES_F

@iamjcam1of1 That 1H chart gave me the framework as well. Nice trading!

1 breakeven, 1 win

Tricky overnight move in front of NY with $ES already taking the Previous Week Low but order flow gave us a couple short entries.

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

@_Ash_Trades_ Probably consolidate here in New York just for them to shake it loose at lunch or in Asia 🤣

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

Tried the continuation setup but unfortunately didn't play out. Ending the day breakeven.

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

Price doesn't need to take the high when #OrderFlow tells you to get short 💡

Buyers not being rewarded above the Previous Day High
Zero print on the tape

Makes for nice narrative to try the short scalp. #ES_F

2 breakeven

Came into the session wanting $ES longs. On the first trade, I didn't like the selling on the tape after entry. Had another chance to get long at low of day and price almost delivered to target but scratched out. Followed my rules, so it is what it is.

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

@KrysAlpine No, no, anything but actually looking into the mirror and taking responsibility for my own behavior 🥲

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

All these trading gurus "exposed" but you're still not profitable.

No one can make you profitable.

Only you can.

And it starts with taking 100% responsibility for every action in your trading win or lose.

While others blame their mentor, you focus only on yourself.

@DodgysDD Ryan, I'm entitled to learn a high leverage skill that will make me millions for free. I also want you to teach me. And if you don't, then I can't believe you would do that to me! 😠

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

You have to be able to eat shit as a trader.

But only if you're following a repeatable process with positive expected value.

If you don't know have that then I'm afraid to say you're just taking it for no reason 😬

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

@dontbsalti Hats off to their marketing but "Big Trades" indicator on MotiveWave works pretty great if you want to trade like Fabio.

[Brett @ticksnotpips]

@nicholaskent Wonder if he'll be covering the secret algorithm that controls the markets that keeps hitting my stop loss?

@MrZincx The art of eating dirt 😤
