on a short-term tactical basis what do you think the market is doing?

it's called an auction, it's filling orders moving from thin to thick areas

why use slow-moving factors to execute short-term?

all you're doing is allowing analysis paralysis

you can read everything in the world but at the end of the day it's all about being able to control your impulses and stick to your plan

let's be real, all we are doing is clicking a button

i can literally give 2 shits about why something is moving

i just want movement

price gets to some defined level you are watching. what's happening on the DOM? who's more aggressive? who's getting absorbed? are market orders hitting? are bids/offers getting pulled or reloaded/stacking?

leave bids/offers or hit at market. know where you're gonna get out

where are you in the day's range? what's the avg range? can you capture the whole day or just a few points?

leave a runner

i have no clue if it's gonna keep going or stop me out

find absolute comfort in being uncomfortable

we are in a bull market, a fat rip roaring bull market

the market should hold above areas that the market has done business at before

fucking hit that area with size, if you're wrong. cut it

move on

simple but hard to execute

it's why i work on my mindset every damn day

Max Aesthetics in everthing.

look....NO TREND LINES! just horizontal s/r. clean af. clean like me

These are levels I'm looking at. I especially get hard when we liquidate down to levels

(note i'm not share Market Profile charts) since there's many sharing great ones

I took ES for a walk up from 3346.75 late Wednesday night for almost the entire range plus adds along the way.

could have gone down to 40 and stopped me out in London

we had 2 liquidations in globex, that was enough for me

flipped the coin at a good clean entry. risk managed

I bought 3400 Sep calls here. Not the best implementation cos vols were high. whatever. point is the entire world was calling for a retest of the lows. so i went the other way, took some heat. we held the june highs. it ripped. i held a core and traded around it. still got em

second point is, i don't know what the world or the market is going to like on monday, next week, next month. nor does anybody else, no matter what they say

nobody fucking knows anything

you just manage risk against levels, know where to get out and wrong, leave runners

this is how i see the world and trade. i know what i can control, what's in my control

i wait until the odds are best in my favor. i react to levels, i don't predict nor do i care about getting into the whys.

people get into trouble when they get into the prediction racket
