#NAS did sweep PDL but offered little to no expansion to the upside so I didn’t enter. Price action on NAS has been a bit rough today. This will be due to Fed Chair Powell due to speak later today. Good luck in your trading if you’re still going or if you’ll be looking at the…

#NQ #NAS #US100 - Bias is bullish. Price is still very much in strong bullish order flow. PPI and Unemployment at 08:30 EST. I would like to see PDL swept today after it decided to just say hello to it yesterday before moving on up. This will also sweep out relative equal…

#XAUUSD Short Trade ❌ -0.45% I got crushed by Gold on this trade today. I didn't have enough time to post the entry. it was a quick plaster/bandaid rip to my SL. Stopped out within about 7 minutes. NYMO (which was also equal highs) was swept before price sold off creating a…

#XAUUSD #Gold is down over 1% already on the day and broke through 2550. Clearly, a very bearish bias. However, I am not really interested in trading this today as it currently stands. We have had such a strong sell off that for me to comfortable entering short I would want to…

As it happened, #NQ did offer this liquidity draw under the theory I had mentioned. As you can see on the M15 there was some liquidity on the sell side. CPI was released and within a few minutes you could see the data high on the M3 TF swept before selling off and offering a…

Tip on liquidity draw💡High impact news such as today's CPI may sometimes produce a large candle with abnormally large wicks either side of the data candle. The wicks can often serve as a draw on liquidity and are worth marking out. I will try and remember to provide an example…



#NQ Short (Not taken, but would have if I was monitoring) - Unfortunately a time of day I’m not usually on the charts but I have seen this since and it is such clean price action. Perfect example of a sweep in liquidity, MSS with a FVG (also inverting an opposing FVG). Entry on…

Consistency over chaos - true success in trading isn’t about big wins. It’s about steady and disciplined growth. Come away from being in the 90%.

#XAUUSD has swept PDL as forecasted. I had an entry on a 5m SIBI but price simply didn’t come back up to the imbalance.

#DXY Might be looking at some #XAU short potential shortly. DXY has swept SSL and forming MMBM. Negatively correlated to XAU we may get an entry to hit PDL.

This post CPI price action is very poor on both #NQ and #XAUUSD. Very choppy market. Looking like it may be it for the AM session for me. Hopefully tomorrow's is better with PPI and Unemployment.


Changed my mind. Not loving it at all. Closed this early. Waiting for PDL to be swept. Very minor loss at 0.2%. I hate to close early and accept it may run on up anyway but I couldn't have my SL under the pool of liquidity I identify as waiting to be swept.

#NQ Entry Long - SSL Swept. M1 shown a bullish push back up inverting the SIBI on the way down tot he sweep. I would have ideally liked to have seen PDL being swept and I am aware my stop is the exact liquidity I would want swept but the entry presented. If we get stopped out…

#XAUUSD $Gold - Bearish bias but I am waiting for CPI for more confirmation of bias in the near term. If I were to take a short, I would want to see those equal highs swept alongside the PDH and short to a minimum of the PDL.

#NQ Bullish Bias (still) for NQ today. CPI at 08:30 EST may change that dependant on what is released and the reaction from it. We have already swept both Asia high and Low. As per, I would like to see a sweep of the SSL in the form of PDL for a continuation upwards. There are…

Trade one or two instruments and trade them consistently. You will begin to understand how they move. It is massively beneficial and puts you ahead of someone trading every pair. You can’t watch 4 movies at once and know what’s going on with them all simultaneously. Trading…
