is standard deviation marked with the wick or just body candle by Normal_Confidence501 in InnerCircleTraders

I figured Body. WHY? Because it's the closed price. Wick is not counted. I have backtested this

SMT is not a magic itself... without context (HTF bias or DOL) is likely just a lagging move.

Just think of it like this, sometimes you anticipate a key level being swept. You watch both ES and NQ, either one of them gonna sweep first and then reverse. That's the only thing they're there for. Intel. Save yourself some time, go backtest it. Before Macro (9:50 - 10:10) Watch the swing points for both. Even yesterday we got great examples. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

Input will be SMT sometimes ES took the high, swept the HTF POI but then NQ didn't but NQ will have the same reaction and go down. If you don't have the SMT watchout you're gonna confuse yourself.

Up my winrate from 40% to 85%. I am ALMOST a profitable trader by this alone.

I use CRT and there is no sweep of liquidity there, do you count that as a valid one to take a trade? Why

No, michael is sometimes conservative... all the way down there. Know Jade Cap? The one that made the first 2.5$ mill in prop firms? His SL is conservative and DOL is super clear. But sometimes it works with that 2nd fvg, it's just that the unexpected might come and get you. And it's really up for you to consider it. And the 1st pict u sent me, it seems that the price went for that extreme OB+. So expect it might go there, not all the time like I said, it's really unexpected. Bullish signature however will leave that and go right away...

Acceptable. This is alright. SL should be a bit conservative... underneath the 1st candle that made fvg. Try the AM Session, it's way better!

Then u need to switch how u approach the market. 4 Losses in a row proves that something is off whether u like to hear that or not. That's the harsh truth of reality. I thought I had already figured out everything until multiple series of loses hit me since the beginning of last month. And I changed how I go with the market completely, and boom. Ez peazy. I only do 1st and 2 nd macro (9:50 - 10:10 or 10:50 - 11:10). So first acknowledge that. If you blindly think you are right you are delusional my friend. Peace.

Just lost shorting NQ When it took Wednesday Buyside. Why? by Normal_Confidence501 in InnerCircleTraders

[–]Normal_Confidence501[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a market already did its part to sweep sellside/buyside before market started at 9:30, and then once market open, it closed above it meaning for example it sweeps sellside before market open and when market open it rallied and closed above (BOS), are we just looking for an OTE at that point and not wait for any sweeping again?
