Brother, noooo. I dont do a whole lot of internetting in general, but this thread is a regular stop. In fact i have it bookmarked and tabbed next to my address bar for quick easy access. I enjoy reading your posts, in fact ive read all of your posts in this thread. Sleep on it? Did you ever look...

March 11th 2026 - NY - MES=F 10:25am candle entered @ 25013.50, SL: 25026.25 Took trade b/c price dips below POC retests and pushes away on down sloping vwap. Exited trade @ 25007.50, lack of downward conviction given price near 3rd vwap standard deviation which often results in mean reverting...

It is indeed sad, but keeping a traders point of view, this seems to have resulted in the price of oil futures increasing quite a bit.

are days like this a result of other time frame traders having excess inventory?

I agree with the person above. You have made a catalog of market action going back some time; all the while explaining what fits into your strategy. Its a pretty cool read even going back to post 1. Good stuff @steven46

I know that a lot of models(often called market maker models) or market templates refer to Wed(mid week) as a weekly reversal point, sometimes only slowing and then reversing on Thursday. Ive noticed this idea works well when a market closes in breakout at least 2 of 3 days up to midweek...

What ive kindof been gathering is that, if im looking at the overnight trading before NY session, if I see price has been mostly below vwap(and thus usually poc), then inventory is short. I can guess that this means, as sellers agree to sell at lower prices and buyers refuse to buy higher, that...

^^^ thats kind of like asking people why people go to school in general. The answer to that is to literally be taught something. Its easier to have someone teach you concepts and also talk about a subject in a relateable and easier way to understand. Thats how you learn, not by memorizing facts...

Not that its relevant but I totally used to tag with spraypaint as a teenager. Lol. Catching throwies for days.

You cant be posting and trading at the same time man, or at least I cant, not unless a trade has a stop and tp that im sticking with 100% before hand and dont need to aggressively monitor, or youre able to use one eye for one thing at a time, while typing. When its trading time, my computer...

Very solid book recommendations. Ive read Mind Over Markets, Profit with Market Profile, and am now reading Seidlmayer on Markets: Trading With Market Profile(figure the grandaddy would have something informative to say) and am also poking around at Traders of Our Time by the folks over at...
