Time to recap another week of GEM 8–9am.
Last week I showed this as a “GEM” inside the New York session.
This week I went back and did a quick Monday–Friday backtest to see if the 8–9am range still delivered.
And once again, the logic is simple:
Define the 8–9AM New York range.
Let the market show the more probable side.
Then trade only in that direction.
No guessing.
No forcing trades.
No flipping bias every 5 minutes.
Just probability first.
Confirmation second.
Execution third.
The whole point of GEM is not to predict every tick.
The point is to understand which side has the better odds before the main New York move develops.
Some days are clean.
Some days are choppy.
Some days give no valid entry.
But the model keeps you focused on one thing most traders ignore:
Direction before execution.
I’ll keep tracking this every week because this is exactly how real edge is built.
Not from one perfect trade.
From repeated behaviour, repeated sessions and repeated data.

Would you trade the New York session differently if you already knew the more probable side is?

Most traders are not losing because their entry is bad.
They are losing because they are trading the
WRONG DIRECTION.
That’s why Intelligent Balance indicator is so powerful.
It gives me 2 pieces of information before I even think about entry:
-The direction I should NOT trade.
-The direction where I should hunt for trade entry.
If the model says LONGS are more probable…
I’m not interested in shorts.
I don’t care how clean the bearish iFVG looks.
I don’t care how obvious the liquidity sweep looks.
I don’t care how “A+” the short setup looks on the chart.
Wrong direction = no trade.
Then my job becomes simple:
Wait for price to give me a valid entry model toward the more probable side.
iFVG.
CISD.
Sweep.
MSS.
Delivery shift.
Most traders are obsessed with entries.
I’m obsessed with filtering out the trades I should never take.
Because the setup is not the edge.
The bias is the edge.
The entry is just the trigger.
Would you still take a “perfect” short setup if your model showed LONGS as the more probable side?
