@Jon09076931 @AdamMancini4 I did this about 4 years ago, are you trading futures at all? Or just SPX

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

@AdamMancini4 7427 FBD was an absolute GIFT!

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

@AdamMancini4 Great run from the morning FBD. Could've put my stop a few more points below the low but nonetheless, being able to confidentely re-enter and just run the system again has truly been a valuable skill to aquire. Thank you Adam! Hopefully this one sticks!

@AdamMancini4 Wish we had flushed 7574 instead of bouncing there. Can the NAP still be used when entering on bounces? Seemed tricky with 7587 being right above.

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

@AdamMancini4 Nice trade from the 6:15PM FBD of 91. Very shallow but had to give it a shot!

@louiedog18 @AlexGut19192651 @AdamMancini4 @SicksNiki77567 @SirBoofingqqv I had this issue when I tried to trade every failed breakdown. What helped me fix it was taking a step back and only trading daily lows. If we don't flush down to it then just sit back and relax. It helped me work on my patience and readiness.

@souji_trades @AdamMancini4 This is cool, is this graphic from a broker or do you make these yourself?

I almost quit trading.

Couldn’t make $1,000
Blew multiple accounts

Now

$100k weeks

Debt free
House paid off
Cars paid off

One risk changed everything.

@AdamMancini4 7135 is better than sub par now correct? due to overnight grind up?

@pointbob2020 @AdamMancini4 what a sorry ass comment

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

@sarcastic_hedgi @AdamMancini4 Entered on the 80FBD, closed out fully this morning once we hit the 19-22 zone because I didn't want to give back any gains. Been sitting on my hands since. Sucks but you're right about it being a flex. Working on this myself

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

@AdamMancini4 Covered a lot of ground here, hopefully I can still click some buttons the rest of the week

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

sorry I thought you were talking about this current price action. In regards to your question: 6592 wasn't just any low. It was a major level/shelf that acts as a solid long trigger. Biggest thing I think would help with your understanding is differentiating between important shelves of lows + major daily lows & intraday lows that produce a small level to level FBD before fizziling out.

We also were not dumping, you should go back and look at days where price is actually dumping from opening to close.

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

You honestly had no chance getting in on this trade unless you were in from before the 5pm close. This was a breakout trade and trying to trade that is chasing price action. 6pm low was an option for a FBD. You see how that 6:00PM 1min candle jumped like 50+ pts? 6:33PM candle swept that 6pm low and immedeatly recovered like 50 pts. This isn't a easy trade to take but that was the only real edge that was presented. Otherwise you can just buy and pray.

@AdamMancini4 Was gonna take the day off but couldn’t help myself off that trap of 04

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

@AdamMancini4 Wanted to get on with my day so took full pofits at 92 but wow what a move.

[Pursuit of Happiness @zero_baalance]

@AdamMancini4 BANGG
