The Open - X Trader

Forever grateful for @TTrades, @AMTrades, and @GxTradez Joined the lens in Spring ‘24 One month in, my trading leveled up. By month three, I’d made $10k with Apex + Topstep. Now I trade my own style. With fundeds I've had for months. Thanks for teaching me how to fish. 🎣

Trade 1: - 0.57R Trade 2: -0.13R Trade 3: +2R Glad I kept my losses small

One of these days I'll learn to hold runners.

What a week. Up $34

Two edges = profitability. 1. Technical edge Understanding price action and developing a repeatable trading model. 2. Behavioral edge Understanding yourself and executing that model with discipline. Most of you build the first one, but very few built the second.

Why would you want to trade without Orderpairing? The best buys happen below lows and the best sells above highs. Understanding hierarchy of the Timeframes is where you know you can Orderpair.

@theOTEtrader Love your order pairing video. It solved my problem of getting in too late or knowing which swing point to expect a stop hunt. I don't trade without it.

Balance to Unbalanced

50% of the range One of the best things I’ve learned is that price moves from imbalance to balance (50% of the range). If price is unbalanced, I target 50% of the range. When price is balanced, I target the range extremes (high or low).

@TTrades_edu Looking forward to this. All of February I've been trading the weaker asset. Still profitable, but more stressful.

@MeatScalper @TheOpenXTrader I fw u

realized nobody can actually explain why the midnight opening price is significant what occurs who does what above/below the opening price why that is significant how that affects price and then what to do with this info missing the forest for the trees focusing on concepts

Key levels are only key levels because they were once a protected swing. Let protected swings get raided before trying to catch a reversal.

Entered too early at first. Made up for it.

All week I've been targeting liquidity instead of a fixed R, and my confidence has increased.

I shorted the stronger asset. I won't make that mistake again. I got a bad fill so RR is 0.87.
