Applying a short-term "value re-entry" mindset to the yearly ES chart. The P-shape at the Yearly +2 SD (~7118) is the main concern here. Usually, that structure suggests the move was driven by short covering (forced buying) rather than by initiative buyers. If those buyers don't show up to build a "D-shape" balance at these highs, the auction is likely exhausted. The Macro Setup: The "Grid Box": Treating the ±1 SD bands (~6675 to ~5713) as the 2025 Value Area. The Trigger: A close back inside that box (below 6675). This effectively triggers the "80% Rule" logic on a macro scale—a high-probability rotation back through the mean. The Magnet: PYVWAP (~6200). If the P-shape fails and we're accepted back into last year's range, the pull toward that 6200 level becomes the primary trade for the next quarter. Curious if anyone else is seeing this P-shape as a trap or if you think we’re just building a higher base here? 🤔🤔

@trade_with_Ice 🤣🤣

Your ICT boy is now switching too?! 😂 youtu.be/r2qe8L-oS3A

What if?

@sstfrederik Makes sense. Since the lock is absolute, I’ll just adjust my review process. Appreciate the study; it’s definitely working as intended.

There is no other way to restrict trading. If you can open a chart you can click a few buttons and trade. It’s a discipline issue. This study will just force you to go fishing and spend some time away from your screen if you hit your limit. Probably better than reviewing charts and getting lured into a few more trades.

Working as intended. Finally got to use today: Does the Sierra Chart lock feature allow for 'View Only' access? I was hoping to conduct a post-market review during ETH, but the current lock has prevented me from opening the program. I'm looking for a way to review my charts while keeping the trading functions restricted.

@Mahstermind_ @SierraChart Thanks. Let me know if it works for you. sst.frl/req

@kaizen_trd Nice charts

$NQ +3.17R🏌️‍♂️ • Open Auction Out Of Range • Test Low Volume Area • Seller absorption • Responsive Buyers Me perdí TODA la subida del Nasdaq, pero hoy me llevo un pellizco. También me llevo un stop en GC de -1.2R, pero muestro el target porque asi parece que no pierdo.

High-conviction absorption: POC shifting to the lows against heavy negative delta signals that aggressive sellers are merely providing liquidity for larger buyers. This setup almost always precedes a violent squeeze. Using @deltadynamics_ studies in Sierra to track the delta heatmap. 😁

Free journal download for @SierraChart - 100% automated at amtbalance.com/tools/journal Last two days, I go into the day to short. I lose, then I win towards the end of the because I go long. Last night I tried a short...didn't work. Went long later. Posting yesterday and today as I did the same thing twice. -- 3 images, showing 4/13 and 4/13 and both together. Idk even now why I went short, the read is long by the mind want to catch that drop. Charts vs Mind -- charts changed my mind to bet on the right side and get back green.

@trade_with_Ice Would be nice to see a break lower to rebid the weekly open

$NQ Balance vibe today

@XennialTrader Just giving sellers a chance to load up higher? Perhaps. 🤔

If "poor structure" had an entry in the dictionary: #ES_F #NQ_F $SPY $QQQ

Long trade on NQ taken from the OR MID. I was looking for PMLO on my last runner.

@sstfrederik DLL, Trailing Max Loss, or consecutive loser cap.

@Mahstermind_ got it. what are your lock out rules?

Creating a Sierra Chart lock study. You wont be able to start SC when the lock kick in. AMA on what it needs to be able to do.👇

Some shorts on ES after failing to hold the IB-mid>target a break of IBL>PDL NQ is looking weaker this session.

@Just_the_tape1 Nice one. Look above ONH and fail. If only it were this easy every day.

ES short

I have a similar view on ES, but using a macro "value re-entry" logic. The P-shape at the Yearly +2 SD (~7118) is the main concern. Honestly it looks like forced short covering rather than initiative buying. If we can't build a D-shape balance at these highs, the auction is likely exhausted. Treating the 2025 ±1 SD "Grid Box" as the Value Area. If we close back inside (below 6675), it triggers that 80% Rule rotation toward the PYVWAP magnet at ~6200. Basically, if the P-shape fails, that 6200 level becomes the primary trade for the next quarter.

$NQ - If we do break down, the 50% retracement from the April low to all time high happens to be exactly the extension from the upper balance. 21429 - around 11% lower

@trade_with_Ice It only took them.... 3-4 months?

$NQ #!@$% 🤬
