Not the cleanest #MMxM from NY AM session today $ES

But I took some things into account we learned the last couple of weeks from @I_Am_The_ICT Mentorship 2023 so far. Still lots of things to learn but step by step…

Mellow Market - @TradingView Chart color scheme

Introducing the Mellow Market @TradingView color scheme - a soothing and eye-strain free palette perfect for charts. With the help of AI, I created a beautiful combination of colors that enhance readability and reduce fatigue. Mellow Market is a calm and soothing color scheme for charts, designed to prevent eye strain. The light grey background is complemented by soft, relaxing shades of green for upclose/bullish candles and a harmonious tone of red for downclose/bearish candles.

“Implied FVG” - 1min $NQ

Large Bodies, measure the wicks between a large body candle to get C.E. of both wicks/tails that “engulf” that large body candle.

You have to watch it and take your own notes, pretty crazy :)

You can clearly see, the rare occurence when the unicorn appears where price is supported! That’s it’s called the πŸ¦„ model (BRK + FVG) $ES 5min Example ;-)

Finished reading: The New Trading for a Living by Alexander Elder πŸ“š

Recommended reading, I liked the first few chapters about psychology and risk management. I skipped the technical indicator section because that’s not what I trade or like to trade.

I found the first few chapters extremely helpful and and I pulled out more value compared to Trading In the Zone from Mark Douglas.

So if you are searching for a trading related book that covers psychology in trading and risk management I can recommend it.

Had fun with MindMaps this weekend and the @I_Am_The_ICT Bridge Builder video. I love MindMaps and used them years ago very successful, so trying to implement them more in my learning process.

β€žWrite a Rap Song about trading”

AI scariness, and that’s just the beginning!

[Verse 1]

Trading is a skill that I’m mastering It’s a game of risk and reward, I’m investing I’m learning the ropes, I’m getting smarter I’m gonna make some money, it’s gonna be harder

[Chorus]

Trading is the way to go, it’s the way to grow
Gonna make some money, watch it flow
Trading is the way to go, it’s the way to grow
Gonna make some money, watch it flow

[Verse 2]

I’m studying charts and reading news reports
Analyzing trends and making trades of sorts
I’m watching stocks and bonds like a hawk
Making sure I don’t take any losses or walk

[Chorus]

Trading is the way to go, it’s the way to grow
Gonna make some money, watch it flow
Trading is the way to go, it’s the way to grow
Gonna make some money, watch it flow

[Verse 3]

Trading takes patience and discipline too
Gotta stay focused and have an eye for clues
Watching for patterns in market moves
Gonna make some money with my trading groove
