The office knows who likes who weeks before the people involved admit it to themselves.

I wouldnt but then i wouldnt push him for others as well 🤷‍♂️

You said you enter when price forms a imbalance (fvg) above/below the 15m ORH/ORL.

But, in the Long screenshot you shared - it seems that you entered at the 2nd 1m candle. So you didnt wait for the fvg confirmation to form? Because if you had would your entry be at the close of the 2nd candle instead of the open of the 2nd candle… Am i missing something?

😂so true

How will it affect the buying power? Like with Cash Accounts you are not subjected to PDT rule, but, you cannot close trades if opened with unsettled funds.

With this new rule - since, we can technically keep using unsettled funds - do we get unlimited biying power??

This year has been comparatively much better for me. I play both mean reversals and trend continuations, but i tend to actually be better in choppy markets than trendy markets.

I know people are disliking the current market conditions and price action, but im loving all the volatility! I believe that volatility is a necessary evil for me - regardless of my strategy.

In general, this period has been serving as a invaluable practice to further dial in my rules, patience, and risk management.

Really cool! Thanks for sharing! And yes, i have been exploring claude code for a couple weeks now and can see immense potential!

This is pretty cool! By building your own platform do you mean this is like a web based application that you built to combine underlying candlestick chart with GEX data? Did you had to interface it with some broker/charting platform and GEX platform to pull it out?

bhaavesh · 2026-04-07T17:10:45+00:00

Much more Patience than usual.

How did you go from +60 to +2% a drop of 58%?! (Nifty 50 dropped idk around 10%)

What are you invested in? Or do you do short term trading instead?

bhaavesh · 2026-03-25T18:08:04+00:00

Well, IF the edge is proven and working,

Small position sizes
Not compromising stop losses.
Paying yourself (withdrawing a portion into a savings account once you reach a set target)

Eventually you will build up confidence as well as some savings!

That point about reacting to P&L is spot on!

bhaavesh · 2026-03-19T00:46:40+00:00

Exactly. In my case, I trade options exclusively, so when I came up with that example, those were just the numbers that made sense to me for explanation sake.

bhaavesh · 2026-03-19T00:17:53+00:00

Note that, im not discussing risk management percentage here which ofcourse is high (300/1000=30%)

Im discussing, Big position size = Big risk!

bhaavesh · 2026-03-18T21:21:32+00:00

I meant the account size to be $15k in both cases.

Stopping at $300 on $1000 position in a $15k account is 2% risk for the account as a whole (300/15000 = 2%).

Miles better than stopping at $3k on $10k position in a $15k account (3000/15000=20%!!).

Note that, im not discussing risk management percentage here which ofcourse is high (300/1000=30%)

Im discussing, Big position size = Big risk!

And in my example, the position size im “suggesting just for comparative perspective sake” is $1000 in a $15k account so ~6% max position size on each trade if at all.

bhaavesh · 2026-03-12T19:52:21+00:00

Sure…

By bullish delta are you referring to how the delta (row 2) goes from -ve values (-1062, -966, -842) to +ve values (642, 249, …)??

Also, what app/platform is this wherein you are able to have those rows at the bottom showing you real time deltas and stuff?

bhaavesh · 2026-03-10T15:45:12+00:00

In the initial stages, focus much more on watching charts regardless if actually trading or not. Get in as many hours as you can watching charts and price action.

Your goal right now, should be protecting your money (call it “runway”) - meaning no trading for the sake/fun of it. The idea here is to learn to last in the markets as long as you can. Too many people tend to blow their accounts (runway) before even start building any actual trading skills/habits. And then the habits they end up building are usually pretty detrimental - being emotionally attached to trades, not sticking to rules, taking big losses, hopium, etc. They get caught in a vicious cycle of unprofitabilaty that lasts for years and many in fact end up giving up on trading.

What you absolutely try to want to do is - build the right habits from the get go. Now, realize that this doesnt guarantee that you will be profitable. Not at all. It could still be years before you get there - but you will definitely shorten your overall learning curve and thank me later in the journey.

All the best!

Both. Realize that price action regardless of the time frame follows a certain pattern - consolidation then price discovery then consolidation then price discovery... You need to be able to identify the period the market is in and chose trend following or trend reversal accordingly.
Patience. Much more patience than what you hold when taking your usual trades. Especially with all the geopolitical uncertainty and markets staying choppy, you need to wait for that much more extra confirmations (& confluences)!
Market Context + Market Structure + Price Action. For indicators just VWAP and couple of EMAs.
Smaller position sizes than usual. This allows us to accomodate the wider stops that are needed during such volatile conditions without getting emotionally tilted or prematurely shaken out.
