Qullamaggie on Nailing Down Setup Variations
“Why do you think your level of trading success is so rare? Obviously everyone sets out with their ultimate dream of making as much money as you have from the markets, but very few are able to achieve it. From what you’ve described here and your strategy, it all sounds very simple — it is, you know — not to discredit any of the hard work you’ve put in. But no, you know, why do you think so few make it to the big time?
I think also it’s just purely education. Uh, I think a lot of people — even some pretty decent, successful traders — I think they would do even better if they really went back and looked at thousands of examples of that setup they trade, or the setups they trade, and really nailed down all the variations of those. And look at also maybe the overall market: like what was the overall market doing when there were a lot of setups and when that setup worked really well, versus what was the market doing when there weren’t any setups and the setups weren’t working any well. I think that that’s gonna improve your edge by a significant margin looking at all these variations.”
An engineer at Anthropic just shared how they actually use Fable 5 internally.
How they work with it every day. 🤯
Two words: design loops.
→ Stop prompting one message at a time. Give Fable 5 a goal and let it run, self-correct, and repeat until done. You design the loop once. It handles the rest.
→ Never let the model grade its own work. Use a separate sub-agent as a verifier. Models are terrible at self-critique. A second agent in a fresh context catches what the first one misses.
→ Tested Fable 5 vs Opus 4.7 on an ML challenge. Fable improved the pipeline 6x more. Opus played safe with small tweaks. Fable bet big on structural changes and pushed through failures.
→ Memory is where Fable 5 destroys everything else. Across sessions Sonnet lists failures and moves on. Opus flags issues but rarely verifies. Fable completes the full cycle: fail
→ investigate → verify → distill → reuse. 73% verification vs Opus at 17%.
→ The insight from inside Anthropic: don’t steer Fable 5 by hand. Build loops. Let it self-correct and manage its own memory. That’s how you unlock it.
This is how the people who built the model are using it.
Fable 5 is free on Pro and Max until June 22. Try it before the window closes.
Every pointer is now 2-3 lines max. No fluff. Want me to lock this in?
One dropdown sets the RTH session + timezone for ES, FDAX, HSI, or Nikkei. No more typing session strings.
Every module toggles independently. Run the whole thing or just one piece.
Free, open source.

Just published a free indicator on TradingView — Zen RTH Trading Toolkit.
Three things I look at every morning, now in one overlay:
1/ ABR measured moves from yesterday's close
2/ 18-bar opening range with projections
3/ Volatility stats table
Details below 👇
The stats table is the bit I use most.
ABR, RTH ADR, ETH ADR, % ADR used (red at 80%), OR % of ADR, plus configurable Swing and Scalp targets in points.
All metrics also exposed in the Data Window, so you can hide the table and still read them.
