@dollarbob01 🔥🎯 Enjoy your weekend, Bob!

@PatternProfits 🎯🎯

All of these go out at 100% premium collected. 💰 Record goes to 37W-1L since I started sharing here last Aug. Hoped to have more clarity today for April ideas, but I'm going to have to dive in deeper over the weekend. Have a great weekend, all!

@traderaddict 30-45 days my sweet spot. Higher premiums next go round if I can find enough stocks that meet my criteria. That's the toughest part right now. Slim pickings when it comes to new ideas. Might be a better idea to just roll the same ones. I'll see. Have a great weekend!

@PatternProfits Great stuff! With volatility up, not getting any easier. But you can go further OTM with higher VIX.

@spaman15 My pleasure, Ross! Have a great weekend!

@PatternProfits Incredible Ben thanks for all your help.

@unfiltered_23 Can't wait!

@PatternProfits I believe trending market begins next week. Make not mistake, the trend will both be bullish and bearish. Let's go! Finally that topping/daily chop is over! Or let's hope so.

There it is! $NQ takes PWL. Wow, ugly!

@Mc5calpAfee 🤣 From my very limited experience, better to take an indicator somewhat similar to what you're looking for and have Claude make adjustments rather than starting from scratch.

@PatternProfits Claude never got any code for me that works in TradingView pine script. Why is my Claude an idiot? Must be the universe telling me stick to trading 🤣

A work in progress, but my friend Claude is a beast! 😲

Remember last Friday when I said London low was very aggressive for a Friday? Apparently, nothing is too low for the current market. 🤷‍♂️ Noted! 📝

@Tandyman0 I know absolutely nothing about coding. I just told Claude what I wanted and kept tinkering with it. Helps if you have an indicator similar to what you want that's open source. Can then drop the source code into Claude and tell it what changes to make or what to create.

@PatternProfits Cool I want to build something like that

@unfiltered_23 @benjspx Nice... LFG! 👏

@PatternProfits @benjspx My live cash account is at ATH! Thank you Ben! You had been a great teacher and generous with your wisdom and time.

Some of you know me here for 20+ years now. I left all social media in 2022 when Elon took over TWTR. I'll spare the details, but many of you know why I left. I came back for a reason. I knew I had more to share. This... this is why I came back! Congrats, Jay! 💪 👇 👇 👇

@Tandyman0 It does. I just tested it on mobile, too. 👀 💪

@PatternProfits Does it build that in pine script for trading view?

@dancooketrades 💯 Agree! Same.

"Nothing good ever happens after 2am" 🥴 Well, when trading the IB: Nothing good ever happens after 11am. The amount of times I see this is crazy. That's why I am off the desk by 11am most days. Having a trading "window" has been super important in keeping me disciplined.

@dancooketrades Indeed. Works great in choppy conditions, too. When IB is choppy, lunchbox to the rescue. 😃

@PatternProfits Very impressive stats on the lunch box 👏

While many complain about blowing their accounts, we've got multiple tools that excel in this environment. Here's the recent $NQ lunchbox data. Last 18 days. 88.2% overall (early 80%, late 87.5%). Medium range (50-100) is 100%, large (>100) is 85.7%. 💪 tradingview.com/x/KBAezzDn/

$ES takes PWL but that would've been a tough hold for IB runners or 30min ORB on an OpEx Friday. The IBL break was close, so it made sense to take it all off. A reload at 1st FVG rebalance or IB midpoint could've worked well & kept risk tight.

@benjspx 💯 Indeed. ... and this market has been anything but easy. The ones that can get payouts now are going to really crush it when the next trend comes along.

@PatternProfits Love to see it!!

@coatesy76 No, definitely not. I only drop down when the 5min isn't obvious and IB is approaching close. It's always best when the 5min FVG jumps off the screen at me. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Also, the higher the timeframe, the more I expect a price reaction from the FVG.

@PatternProfits Thanks so much for the response! Do you feel the one minute FVG's have the same impact as five minute FVG's? Do you treat them the same?

$ES $NQ IB closes in the lower half with the highs printing 1st. 🔴

@JyeAngry Awesome! Congrats, Jay! Keep crushing it, my friend! 💪

@PatternProfits This one from u brother. Thank you for responding on my questions. God bless you

The traders having the most success right now are the ones that took ideas, concepts or data & then put in the work to make strategies uniquely their own. I can tell where each of them may enter/exit, but not one of them does it the same as the other. They earned their rewards!

Hey, Ben. Majority of the time I'm on 5min. Yesterday, I was on the 1min because where IB was set to close at 10:30 was very close to the midpoint. Compare that to a day like today where it was quite obvious that price was going to close well below the IB midpoint. I also had to drop down to the 1min yesterday to find the 1st FVG after 10am because none had printed on the 5min as IB was getting set to close. Again, today it was very obvious on the 5min timeframe.

@PatternProfits What time frame do you have on the charts when you say "candle closes"?
