Trade plan
1. Pre-market preparation
* Mark scans overnight
* Mark the night hinges
* Mark the legs as an overnight boost
* Mark areas of balance overnight
These will give you initial directional biases and initial liquidity magnets. Of course, on your charts you will have annotations from the previous days which will act as structural magnets and response zones.
2. Open reading
*Does the market want to rise?
*Does he want to come down?
*At key levels, is the price accepted, accommodated, or rejected?
*Is there any economic/geopolitical news to anticipate or absorb?
This is your context engine. You don’t predict. You are observing the facts. What are the facts?
3. Implementation logic
*Deals are activated due to comprehensive rejection
*Trades are triggered by total joint POC/HVN rejection
*Trades are activated due to quote rejection
*Trades are activated by recovering any rejections
Note: A failed move in one direction will result in a rapid move in the opposite direction. This is the basis for these deals. Therefore, you can easily make 100 or more of these trades on most days.
4. Dynamic profit taking
*22 points if the market expands quickly and cleanly
*12 points if the expansion is healthy
*5 – 7 points if the expansion is weak
*1 point if the price stops
This is auction-responsive risk management based on momentum, absorption, cross-flows, small pullbacks, and failure of the price to move in your direction.
5. The logic of loss
*If the price stops and seems to be going against you, get out quickly – even if it means taking a loss.
Note: This is not an emotional decision. It reduces the risk of intentional sabotage. The scalper protects the session, not the trade. Put it behind you. I continue. That’s why you can make more than 100 trades per day.
6. The logic of trade quality
A: A good trade confirms your reading quickly
* Moves from entry quickly
*Doesn’t stop
for. Bad trade belies your quick reading
* hesitates
* Loses momentum
Note: You will quickly know good trading from bad trading. This is why you should cut your loser off quickly and move on. You will get good at this. Soon you will have very few losers.
Personal notes
*Keep it up
* Master your charts
*Monitor VWAP
*If one chart becomes too busy with graphics, switch to another chart. On TradingView there are four – 1.MNQ1!, 2.NQ1!, 3.MNQM2026, 4.NQM2026
NOTE: The right mechanics and the right logic will completely, comprehensively and completely remove the emotions and assimilate you into the chart on a very real cerebral and intuitive level. Comment! Comment! And comment some more! Just keep commenting! In the end there will be no emotion. Just the right mechanics and the right logic. And when that day comes, you will be surprised by your success. With this trading plan and the right sized account, you can make an amazing income.
Accurate definition
I scalp small auction structures – sweeps, hinges, recoveries and small imbalances – using tight stops, rapid invalidation, dynamic take profit and ongoing auction reading in the context of last night’s and previous days’ structures, chart patterns and economic/geopolitical news.
Correct mechanics + correct logic = correct trading
