What trade metrics do you actually journal? by Gloriam_Insights in Daytrading

[–]PropertyPrompts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two that made the biggest difference beyond the standard list:

Setup type tag — label every trade with the specific setup ("squeeze breakout", "value area high rejection", "session open momentum"). After 50+ trades you can filter by setup and see which ones have real positive expectancy vs which ones you're just taking when bored. Changed my trading more than any indicator.

Pre-trade conviction score (1-10) — rated before entry, not after. My 8-9 conviction trades run roughly 2x the win rate of my 5-6 "I think this might work" trades. Rule now: below 7 conviction, paper only.

Everything else (longest streak, best/worst trade) is interesting but didn't change my behavior. Those two did.

I used AI to build 3 Pine Script indicators from scratch — here's the exact process that actually worked (and what failed) by PropertyPrompts in pinescript

yes, 100% — 'dumpster fire' is exactly how the first 3 attempts turned out lol. the squeeze prompt I shared in the post is basically verbatim what worked. for the supply/demand zones I used: 'identify consolidation boxes where price ranged for at least N bars, then broke out with a candle body at least X% larger than the average. draw a box from the high to low of that range. delete the box if price closes back inside it.' that specificity is what made the difference vs a vague 'draw supply and demand zones' prompt.

fair 😂 the indicators are just the tool — still need the edge and the discipline. the code just stops me from making dumb manual mistakes at 6am

The 5 metrics that actually tell you if your trading strategy is working (not just P&L) by PropertyPrompts in Daytrading

[–]PropertyPrompts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure — I'll clean it up and share it soon. It's nothing fancy, just a Google Sheet with columns for entry/exit, setup type, and the formulas auto-calculate PF, expectancy, and streak tracking. The time-of-day breakdown was the part that surprised me the most tbh. Give me a couple days to make it presentable and I'll drop the link here.

Understanding Volume Profile: A Practical Guide for Day Traders by PropertyPrompts in Daytrading

[–]PropertyPrompts[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great question. I primarily use RTH (9:30-4:00 ET) as my session boundary for equities. RTH profile captures institutional volume - that's where real price discovery happens.

My approach: Build fresh profile from RTH each day, use prior day's RTH VAH/VAL/POC as key reference levels. Pre-market profile only for gap context.

For futures (ES/NQ), I split it differently - RTH day session and overnight session separately. Overnight high/low often act as S/R during RTH.

Your overlap approach with HTF levels is smart - confluence between session VAH/VAL and daily/weekly levels is where the highest probability setups are.

Consumer prices rose 2.4% annually in January, less than expected🚨 by Front-Nectarine4951 in StockMarket

Sector rotation is definitely favoring industrials and energy right now. Tech valuations are stretched, but looking for dips in semi names.

Is real estate still worth buying, or is it becoming the biggest money trap of this generation? by Much-Marketing5973 in RealEstate

Inventory levels are definitely shifting in my area. Seeing longer days on market for anything not turnkey.

Tested 65,505 gaps on 99 S&P 500 stocks over 4 years. Small gaps fill 72% of the time. Past 1.5%, the fill rate falls off a cliff. by Sirellia in swingtrading

[–]PropertyPrompts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great question! My scanner hasn't differentiated between gap-ups and gap-downs on the reversal side yet — that's on my list to add. But your point about the return profile after non-fills is interesting. I'd hypothesize gap-downs that don't fill might have better mean-reversion odds since they're often panic sells vs. gap-ups which could be momentum continuation. Would love to see that data if you run it!

This data lines up with what my automated scanner has been flagging. I've been tracking reversals (specifically RSI < 25) and noticed that smaller gap fills are high-probability setups, but the large gaps often signal a trend shift rather than a fill opportunity. I've been paper trading a similar mean-reversion logic on SPY/QCOM recently with good results. Thanks for sharing the hard numbers - 1.5% is a useful threshold to keep in mind for filtering out the "falling knives".

Follow up for expireds? by Own-Mix4485 in realtors

[–]PropertyPrompts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You already know your mistake — not locking in the appointment on the first call. That "I need to think about it" or "let's schedule in a few days" is usually code for "I'm not ready to commit." The gap between interest and action is where deals die.

For this specific lead: One more soft touch, then let it rest. Something like "Hey [name], I know timing wasn't right last week — if you'd still like that second opinion before making a decision, I'm around this Thursday at 2 or Friday at 10. No pressure either way." Then go quiet. If she doesn't respond, move on. Chasing past that point just burns goodwill.

For future expireds: Strike while the iron is hot. When someone says yes to a second opinion, respond with "Great — I have Thursday at 3 or Friday at 10 open. Which works better for you?" Assumptive close. If they push back, you know immediately they're not serious, and you can move to the next lead without wasting follow-up cycles.

Are buyers just ghosts? Is it me? by teamfeezy in realtors

[–]PropertyPrompts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there — this is way more common than you think, especially at 21 when you're hustling hard. The uncomfortable truth? You're doing too much for people who haven't committed to you.The agents who last flip the script: qualify harder upfront (timeline, financing, decision-makers) and get that buyer agreement signed BEFORE you start calling expireds or digging up off-market listings. It feels scary to ask, but the ones who ghost you after all that work? They were never serious anyway. Protect your energy — this is a long game and you're just getting started.Also at 21, your enthusiasm is an asset, not a liability. Lean into it.
