I learned everything...
Then I focused on the following:
Swings
Imbalances
SMT
CISD
Time / Drivers
Why?
Market maker models are swing points
(and)
Swing formations endorse expansion
(so)
Price will expand to seek liquidity or inefficiency
(with)
SMT signalling true reversals / shift in the phase of price
(and)
CISD indicating a swing / wick has formed
(when)
Time is aligned for swings to form

Yusuf casually cooking up $$70,000 weeks on options....
Guy is a monster.

I can teach you 80% of what I know to be true about price action, order flow, correlation etc.
But sometimes the answer is simply market intuition....
Staring at these charts every damn day for 6+ years
I deserve that answer sometimes
And I will continue to rely on it for the rest of my career...

In other news….
One of my old students / current analysts just had a $52,000 day
And you’re still telling me this shit ain’t possible.
Funny.

I didn’t take anything today.
Wanted to see those h4 lows first
Missed the expansion
All g.

I have a masters degree in chemical engineering, and prior to trading full time worked in big tech & at a big 3 strategy consulting firm
And honestly I’d say…
Trading is far more challenging.
Don’t discredit what we do.
Treat this industry with the respect of a professional, the respect it requires.

Correlation…
Assets expand
Fall out of sync to manipulate (SMT)
Resync with reversal signatures
And continue to expand
Pair this with phases of price.

Trading the pair that makes a failure swing with smt is a simplification that harms your trading…
Instead,
Study price action after manipulation has occurred.
Which asset is best to trade after a reversal is not determined by the “lower high” or “higher low”
Smt is much deeper than that.
