How I Map My Trades BEFORE the Market Opens — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Now, I trade futures using orderflow and
2. 0:02the resolution model, and I've been able
3. 0:04to take thousands of dollars from
4. 0:05profirms, consistently doing the same
5. 0:08pre-market routine every single morning.
6. 0:11And here's what took me years to
7. 0:12understand. Most traders will open the
8. 0:14chart and then immediately go and hunt
9. 0:16for a setup or an entry trigger or some
10. 0:18type of entry model and then they try to
11. 0:22reverse engineer a reason to take it or
12. 0:24to justify that entry. But that is
13. 0:27completely backwards. By the time that
14. 0:29the market opens, I already have
15. 0:32multiple scenarios mapped out and the
16. 0:35context that was built pre-market or
17. 0:37preession did all of the work before the
18. 0:40market even opened. So, in the next few
19. 0:42minutes, I'm going to walk you through
20. 0:43the exact stack that I build every
21. 0:45single morning as my pre-market routine
22. 0:47in order and on a real chart. It's four
23. 0:51layers of context and they're all mapped
24. 0:53before the open before I ever take a
25. 0:55trade. It's higher time frame bias and
26. 0:57very simple market structure. It's
27. 0:59understanding the gamma profile that
28. 1:01we're currently sitting in for the day
29. 1:03for zero DTE. It's looking at the
30. 1:05overnight sessions and what they did
31. 1:07during the after hours and then
32. 1:09identifying premium and discount. And
33. 1:12then only after all four of those have
34. 1:13been mapped out, then we look at order
35. 1:15flow. And it's not to invent a trade or
36. 1:18find a trade through order flow, but
37. 1:20it's to tell me which scenario I already
38. 1:22drew is actually triggering or actually
39. 1:25playing out. By the end, you're going to
40. 1:27see all four of these collapse into one
41. 1:29location and the one thing that I wait
42. 1:31for before I actually click the button
43. 1:32to get into a trade. And I'm going to
44. 1:34build it from an empty chart so you can
45. 1:36see the thought process and see what I
46. 1:37do every single morning when I'm sending
47. 1:39my daily outlooks in the Discord or I'm
48. 1:41just preparing for a session and
49. 1:43preparing to actually trade that day.
50. 1:45Now, let's take a quick break to talk
51. 1:47about the sponsor of this video, Prop
52. 1:49Firm Match. If you trade prop firms, you
53. 1:51already know how confusing it can get.
54. 1:53There's different prop firms, there's
55. 1:55different challenges, there's different
56. 1:56rules, and a lot of conflicting
57. 1:58information. Prop firm match simplifies
58. 2:01all that by putting everything in one
59. 2:02platform. They have comparison tools so
60. 2:05you can compare prop firms side by side
61. 2:07or even challenges side by side where it
62. 2:09even lays out all the rules for you to
63. 2:11see so you know exactly what you're
64. 2:13going to be spending your money on or
65. 2:14what you should be buying before
66. 2:16committing any of your money to
67. 2:17anything. You can review the rules side
68. 2:19by side and see which prop firms are
69. 2:21actually popular by reading some of the
70. 2:22reviews from other traders just like
71. 2:25yourself. So you don't have to go and
72. 2:27spend any time digging through all these
73. 2:28different websites. So instead of
74. 2:30guessing or hoping that you picked the
75. 2:32right prop firm or the right challenge,
76. 2:34you can make a decision with everything
77. 2:35laid out in one place. If you want to
78. 2:37use prop firm match, there's a link in
79. 2:39the description and in the pinned
80. 2:41comment and make sure to check out their
81. 2:43exclusive offers so you get the best
82. 2:44deal on any of these prop firms by using
83. 2:47code match. Now, let's get back into the
84. 2:49video. So layer one, higher time frame
85. 2:52bias and just very basic market
86. 2:54structure. Before anything else, I need
87. 2:56to know the game that I'm actually
88. 2:58playing in in which way I'm leaning
89. 3:00inside of it. And the purpose of a bias
90. 3:03is not necessarily for prediction. I'm
91. 3:05not telling the market what it's going
92. 3:07to do because bias is conditional. If
93. 3:10price does this, I'm looking for longs.
94. 3:12If price does that, I stand down. Or
95. 3:15maybe I even flip my bias towards shorts
96. 3:17and that's it. So, I'm understanding
97. 3:19where price is sitting on the higher
98. 3:20time frame. understanding the condition
99. 3:23or the context of what the market is
100. 3:25actually doing and I'm looking at the
101. 3:27levels that confirm my bias or confirm
102. 3:30my lean in the bias or I'm looking at
103. 3:32the levels that kill it. Therefore, I'm
104. 3:35walking in already understanding what
105. 3:37could potentially make me wrong. And
106. 3:39that happens before I ever have to risk
107. 3:41a single dollar. And everything that I
108. 3:43add on top of this, on top of market
109. 3:46structure, on top of higher time frame
110. 3:48bias, on top of understanding the
111. 3:50auction state, are we balanced? Are we
112. 3:51imbalanced? Are we rebalancing? What are
113. 3:54we doing? And everything I add on top of
114. 3:56that inherits from it. And if you get
115. 3:58this layer wrong, then every layer after
116. 4:01it is essentially built on sand. Now,
117. 4:04layer two is the gamma profile. Now, I
118. 4:06lay the dealer landscape over that bias.
119. 4:09I want to know, are we in a positive
120. 4:10gamma environment? Are we in a negative
121. 4:12gamma environment? Where's the call
122. 4:14wall? Where's the put wall? Where's the
123. 4:15HBO or the gamma flip zone? And I want
124. 4:18to understand what the map looks like
125. 4:20also in terms of gamma distribution and
126. 4:22where any potential zerodt open interest
127. 4:25that's actually meaningful is sitting
128. 4:27and whether or not it's realistically
129. 4:29reachable for the day. And I want to be
130. 4:31clear on how I actually read these
131. 4:33levels. First, I'm just understanding it
132. 4:35as regime. I'm understanding it in terms
133. 4:37of environment, in terms of positive
134. 4:39gamma environments and negative gamma
135. 4:41environments. And yes, I'm looking at
136. 4:43the levels in terms of potential
137. 4:45location, but these are not being
138. 4:47treated as lines that price has to hit
139. 4:49or lines that price has to reject from.
140. 4:52I look at it more in the sense of
141. 4:53acceptance versus rejection in these
142. 4:56areas and how they may set the regime
143. 4:58for the day ahead of me. But gamma is
144. 5:01not my primary framework and I will
145. 5:03never take a trade just because price
146. 5:05hits a line on my chart. It's
147. 5:07environmental context. It tells me what
148. 5:09kind of day I'm probably in, but it
149. 5:11doesn't pull the trigger for me. Now,
150. 5:14layer three is sessions. Before the cash
151. 5:16session for New York ever opens, the
152. 5:19market has already been trading all
153. 5:21night. And more often than not, it's
154. 5:22already told me something. So, every
155. 5:24single morning, I pay attention to the
156. 5:26overnight sessions. I look at their
157. 5:28ranges. I look at the extremes of those
158. 5:30ranges or their highs and their lows.
159. 5:32I'm looking at the Asia range, the
160. 5:34London range, and how they actually
161. 5:36formed during the overnight session
162. 5:38because those levels are potentially
163. 5:41where the market has already accepted or
164. 5:44rejected value. And that's before I ever
165. 5:46show up in the morning to trade the New
166. 5:47York session. And when session extremes
167. 5:49align or line up with market structure
168. 5:53or premium and discount or these gamma
169. 5:56levels, that's not a coincidence that I
170. 5:59just ignore. That's confluence. And it
171. 6:01creates these areas that I care most
172. 6:03about once price actually starts to move
173. 6:05at the open. And speaking about premium
174. 6:08and discount, that's layer four. Layer
175. 6:10four is premium and discount. This is
176. 6:12the last piece of context, and you'll
177. 6:14typically see me draw it out on my
178. 6:16charts in terms of fib levels. But
179. 6:19realistically, the way that premium and
180. 6:21discount is is anything below value area
181. 6:24is technically discount. Anything above
182. 6:26value area is technically premium. And
183. 6:28I'm using FIBS below or above value area
184. 6:33fixed ranges to determine where I would
185. 6:36like to enter a trade in discount and
186. 6:38where I would like to enter a trade in
187. 6:39premium. And the rule for this is pretty
188. 6:42simple. When I am bullish, I'm looking
189. 6:44for discount. And I want to do business
190. 6:46in discount. When I'm bearish, I'm
191. 6:48looking for premiums. And I want to do
192. 6:51business in premiums. I want to trade
193. 6:53the premiums. And this right here is why
194. 6:55so many valid setups keep failing on
195. 6:57people. The setup was fine. The entry
196. 6:58model looked good. It all made sense,
197. 7:00but the location was wrong. A long taken
198. 7:04up in premium is potentially a risky
199. 7:06long, even if your entry model looks
200. 7:08perfect. And now what do I have? I have
201. 7:12four layers stacked and out of them fall
202. 7:14my scenarios that I map out pre-market.
203. 7:17If price trades up into premium into a
204. 7:20call wall, we see failure of buyers to
205. 7:23continue higher and potential
206. 7:24absorption. And then we see sellers
207. 7:26shifting dominance back to the downside.
208. 7:28Well, there's my short scenario. If it
209. 7:30holds that discount at a session low
210. 7:32that lines up with the HVL or a put wall
211. 7:36and we see the same thing, then that's
212. 7:38my long. I have them both drawn with
213. 7:41levels before the open. And it's really
214. 7:44important that I create these scenarios
215. 7:46pre-market because the moment that you
216. 7:48begin to start trading, at least for me,
217. 7:50decision-making quality begins to
218. 7:52degrade dramatically and very quickly.
219. 7:55The moment you start clicking buttons,
220. 7:57the moment you start missing out on
221. 7:58opportunities or even winning trades or
222. 8:00losing trades, it could potentially
223. 8:03shift your emotional state or your
224. 8:04mindset or the way that you are viewing
225. 8:07the markets, whether it's
226. 8:09overconfidence, fear, anger, or whatever
227. 8:12it might be. And my goal is is to remove
228. 8:14as much decision-m as possible before
229. 8:17that ever happens. before the market
230. 8:19opens and price starts moving a million
231. 8:21miles an hour. I'm looking to make about
232. 8:2380% of my decision making pre-market
233. 8:26before the market ever opens. And the
234. 8:28last 20% comes down to execution. And
235. 8:31that's layer five. That's where order
236. 8:33flow sits. And this is realistically the
237. 8:35shortest layer because by now the hard
238. 8:38thinking or the scenarios mapping out or
239. 8:41whatever it may be is already done.
240. 8:43They're already on the chart. I already
241. 8:45know what I'm looking for. Orderflow
242. 8:47does not go and find or invent trades
243. 8:49for me. Everything before this told me
244. 8:52where, which direction, and under what
245. 8:56condition. Orderflow just tells me when
246. 8:58one of my map scenarios are actually
247. 9:01playing out or it's actually being
248. 9:03confirmed. So, I don't enter just
249. 9:05because price reached a level or came in
250. 9:07a discount or came in a premium or
251. 9:09tapped into a gamma level or hit the
252. 9:11call wall or put wall. I enter when
253. 9:13order flow confirms acceptance or
254. 9:16rejection and it needs to happen at a
255. 9:18key level that all the four layers of
256. 9:21context before this already mapped out
257. 9:23for me beforehand. The context maps the
258. 9:26scenario. Order flow is what pulls the
259. 9:28trigger. It's in that order every single
260. 9:31time. So, let's run through an example
261. 9:32of what I do every single morning on the
262. 9:35charts when I wake up and I go look to
263. 9:37see what it is that I'm looking for and
264. 9:39how I map out scenarios and send it over
265. 9:41to the Discord. So I prepare for a
266. 9:42session and I prepare to actually trade.
267. 9:44So here we are on the charts. Now the
268. 9:46first thing that I want to look at is I
269. 9:48want to look at market structure. So
270. 9:50again let's go to the 4 hour. What are
271. 9:52we doing? Well, we are potentially again
272. 9:55in this range, the 4hour range. We go to
273. 9:58a 1 hour. We are making our way down. So
274. 10:01we need to be careful about us
275. 10:03potentially
276. 10:05continuing this move down creating lower
277. 10:07lows. This is what I'm thinking in my
278. 10:09head in terms of the hourly. when it
279. 10:11drops down to a lower time frame, we do
280. 10:13see that we are moving higher at least
281. 10:15on a 15minute time frame. Now, Asia
282. 10:17pushed up, London pushed up, pre-market
283. 10:20New York has taken out London highs.
284. 10:21We've left London lows, left Asia lows,
285. 10:24and we could potentially be looking for
286. 10:26a move that could bring us back down to
287. 10:28even make another low in terms of the
288. 10:30higher time frame market structure. So,
289. 10:33what are we going to do here? Now, the
290. 10:34first thing we need to do is we need to
291. 10:36mark out our gamma levels. Now,
292. 10:39typically in the morning, again, we're
293. 10:40going to have these already marked out,
294. 10:41but let me go ahead and mark them out.
295. 10:43All right, so I went and marked all
296. 10:45these out. So, what are we looking at
297. 10:47here? We're currently sitting in a
298. 10:48positive gamma environment. We're in
299. 10:50between the HVL and the call wall. Now,
300. 10:53something to note about the distribution
301. 10:55of this gamma is we have a large node of
302. 10:57gamma sitting here. Obviously, it's the
303. 10:59call wall. We do have a cluster of
304. 11:00gamma, positive gamma sitting here. And
305. 11:03then it's kind of a thinner profile in
306. 11:05between until we start getting towards
307. 11:07the put wall where we start seeing
308. 11:08negative gamma. Now when I'm looking at
309. 11:10this, I am paying attention to this
310. 11:13positive cluster of course and where
311. 11:16we're sitting with the call wall, the
312. 11:17HVL, and then also the put wall down
313. 11:19here, which you can't really see. What I
314. 11:21will do is I'm treating this kind of
315. 11:24like a zone. Okay? And we're here right
316. 11:27before market open. So we're marking
317. 11:29this as a zone. In the event, this is
318. 11:32what I'm thinking since we're already
319. 11:34watching on the other on the higher time
320. 11:36frame that we are potentially going
321. 11:38lower. In the event that we start
322. 11:40getting below this, we could be making
323. 11:41our way towards the HVL. We'll keep that
324. 11:43in mind. Now, we're going to start
325. 11:46understanding premium and discount. Now,
326. 11:48in terms of premium, where would I like
327. 11:50to actually participate if we were
328. 11:52looking for shorts? Now, if we were
329. 11:54looking for shorts, I would take the
330. 11:56most significant swing high to swing
331. 11:59low. You can just understand value area
332. 12:01is sitting here because of how the chart
333. 12:03looks. But if you want to make sure you
334. 12:05can just draw out a volume profile,
335. 12:08value area is going to be sitting here.
336. 12:09We have internal highs and you have
337. 12:12premium sitting above value area. In the
338. 12:14event that we come up and we continue
339. 12:16this push up towards the call wall, if
340. 12:18we start seeing any type of activity in
341. 12:21terms of a failed auction higher where
342. 12:23we may see us take these highs, take
343. 12:25internal highs, come into premium, see
344. 12:28buyers getting absorbed, see sellers
345. 12:30start stepping in aggressively, then
346. 12:32that could potentially be our short.
347. 12:33It's right where the call wall is
348. 12:34sitting as well. So, we're going to keep
349. 12:36our eyes set on this area. If we begin
350. 12:38to drop lower, well, we do need to be
351. 12:41aware of potentially discount. So, in
352. 12:44terms of discount, I would be marking
353. 12:45out from this swing low to the high.
354. 12:47Now, in the event that we go make
355. 12:49another high at the open, well, I am
356. 12:51going to have to change where I anchored
357. 12:53that point for the high. But what do we
358. 12:56notice about where discount is sitting?
359. 12:57Discount is sitting right around the
360. 13:00HVL. HVL is sitting right around
361. 13:02discount. Now, how do we know it's
362. 13:03discount? We're going to do the same
363. 13:05thing. We're going to mark out our fixed
364. 13:07volume range profile from where we
365. 13:10anchored our discount fib up to where
366. 13:13the highs are up here. And we have value
367. 13:16area sitting here. Discount is below
368. 13:18value area. Now, a lot of the times you
369. 13:20guys may not see the volume profile on
370. 13:23my chart, and it's only because I kind
371. 13:25of just have been doing this for a
372. 13:26while. So, I I can eyeball where it
373. 13:29makes sense to draw these uh discount
374. 13:31zones and where I think value are
375. 13:33actually sitting. So let's just say this
376. 13:36is the scenario. Okay, we have premium
377. 13:38and we have discount. Here is what I'm
378. 13:40thinking. This is how I'd mark out my
379. 13:42day. Now that we're here, I would
380. 13:44understand that we are currently going
381. 13:46lower on higher time frames. The
382. 13:49sessions are pushing up from the
383. 13:51overnight. In the event that we become
384. 13:54bullish at the open and we push up into
385. 13:57this area, this is going to be an area
386. 13:59where I'm looking for shorts. right
387. 14:01around the call wall, right around
388. 14:04premium, outside of value area, looking
389. 14:07for a failed auction to the upside
390. 14:08before we potentially continue the
391. 14:11higher time frame trend to the downside
392. 14:12and create new lows. Once we do start
393. 14:14approaching this area, if we come down
394. 14:16here, I need to be careful. We have the
395. 14:19HVL here. We are sitting in discount of
396. 14:21the current lower time frame range on a
397. 14:2315minute. And we got to be aware and be
398. 14:26careful of potential support or
399. 14:29responsive buying activity that keeps us
400. 14:31in this area. Now, we do notice that we
401. 14:34have these positive gamma clusters
402. 14:36sitting here. So, this is kind of the
403. 14:38first area of interest for me. If we
404. 14:41begin to accept below this area, I am
405. 14:43thinking to myself that there's a pretty
406. 14:45good chance we continue lower, take out
407. 14:47London lows, take out Asia lows, and
408. 14:50start making our way towards the HVO. If
409. 14:52we hold above here and we can't accept
410. 14:55below this area, then we may be making
411. 14:58our way higher. So, I have my areas I'm
412. 15:01watching for today. I'm watching this
413. 15:03area closest to price. If we get below
414. 15:05it, I'm looking for us to come to HVL.
415. 15:07If we stay above it, I'm looking for us
416. 15:09to come into premium where I could
417. 15:11potentially look for shorts. So, if we
418. 15:14were to go play this out.
419. 15:18Okay, so right at the open, at the open,
420. 15:21we push down. and we start pushing up.
421. 15:22We're currently above this positive
422. 15:24gamma cluster. We're in a positive gamma
423. 15:26environment. We may see mean reversion
424. 15:28style behavior, but it is a thin
425. 15:30profile. So, there is distance between
426. 15:34where large positive gamma is sitting
427. 15:36from where it is here to up here and
428. 15:40where it is here until we start getting
429. 15:41towards the HVO. So, I'm watching this.
430. 15:44Now, we did go make a new high. So, if I
431. 15:46was watching this, I would have to
432. 15:48extend this
433. 15:50to be up here.
434. 15:52Unless we go make another high, then I
435. 15:53have to extend it again. Let's go one
436. 15:55candle over. Okay, we'll wait for it to
437. 15:58actually put in a high.
438. 16:00Let's make sure it's the high.
439. 16:06Okay, now we're coming down. So, at this
440. 16:09point, what am I thinking to myself?
441. 16:11Well, first of all, I need to extend
442. 16:12this
443. 16:14and I need to extend this zone. I'm
444. 16:17actually going to draw it again. At this
445. 16:18point, we are getting below this cluster
446. 16:20of positive gamma. If we can stay below
447. 16:23here, then there is a chance that we
448. 16:25continue to run this out. We just took
449. 16:26London lows. We still have Asia lows
450. 16:28sitting here and we have discount of
451. 16:30this current range sitting here. We also
452. 16:32have HVL. In the event that we stay
453. 16:35below here, I am looking for us to
454. 16:38continue running this down and we would
455. 16:40be looking for us to come down towards
456. 16:41the HVO. Now, if there's any type of
457. 16:44potential continuation entry to the
458. 16:46downside, I may be looking for that to
459. 16:48actually go short. If it's not there,
460. 16:51then I just can't take a trade. I got to
461. 16:53let it go. If there's no entry for me to
462. 16:54try and catch this continuation lower,
463. 16:56then it is what it is. Now, let's see
464. 16:58what happens when we continue going
465. 17:01lower. So, we're accepting below. We're
466. 17:03pushing lower.
467. 17:05And now, we are entering into discount
468. 17:08and we are approaching the HVL. Okay. At
469. 17:12this point, if I were to be in a short,
470. 17:15because it's aligning with the rest of
471. 17:17the higher time frame, we're continuing
472. 17:19going down. I would be careful of this
473. 17:22area and I would be careful of us coming
474. 17:25towards the HVL. Now, if we get below
475. 17:29the HVL and we start accepting past this
476. 17:31886, then of course, we're going to be
477. 17:33coming down towards the put wall. We're
478. 17:34making our lower low in terms of the
479. 17:36higher time frame structure and we're
480. 17:38going to be continuing down. Now, if I
481. 17:40were to be looking for longs, for
482. 17:42whatever reason, I would be looking for
483. 17:44it in discount. I'd be looking for it in
484. 17:46discount right around after we take Asia
485. 17:48lows, right around the HVL. I'm watching
486. 17:52this
487. 17:54now. In the event that something
488. 17:55happens, okay, so we start seeing signs
489. 17:58of bullish activity. We probably move
490. 18:00down. We're in discount. We push down
491. 18:02into the HVL. If there's anything here
492. 18:05that makes sense for me to go long in
493. 18:07terms of an orderflow confirmation, then
494. 18:10I'm going to go long. Okay, so we push
495. 18:12back up.
496. 18:15So, there may have been an entry to go
497. 18:17long with order flow. There may have not
498. 18:19been an entry to go long with orderflow.
499. 18:21I do not know. That's not necessarily
500. 18:23the purpose of this video. We come right
501. 18:25back up into that positive gamma cluster
502. 18:27and we're catching a little bit of
503. 18:28friction. The idea remains the same.
504. 18:30Okay, a lot of this decisionmaking
505. 18:33is happening pre-market understanding if
506. 18:37we stay above if this then that. If we
507. 18:39stay above this, we're probably coming
508. 18:40here. If we come below here, we're
509. 18:42probably coming down here. We're
510. 18:43watching down here. We're looking for
511. 18:45responsive buying activity. If there's
512. 18:46none, we're probably coming down towards
513. 18:49the put wall and making another low. If
514. 18:51there is responsive buying activity,
515. 18:53this is a good area being in discount to
516. 18:55look for longs. If we're holding a short
517. 18:57into this area, we got to be careful.
518. 18:59maybe trail stop, maybe take TP. If
519. 19:01we're looking for longs, we're looking
520. 19:03for it in here. And if order flow
521. 19:05confirms that through some type of entry
522. 19:08confirmation, then we could potentially
523. 19:10look for longs. So, my morning is
524. 19:13structured around what I'm trying to
525. 19:16plan pre-market. The goal here is to
526. 19:19take away as much decision-making as
527. 19:22possible while price is moving like
528. 19:24this. I want to just be able to only
529. 19:26focus on execution once price starts
530. 19:28flying around a million miles an hour.
531. 19:30In the event that price goes and does
532. 19:32something that I did not plan for or
533. 19:35it's out of the area that I was
534. 19:38watching, like let's say for example,
535. 19:40price then goes and just starts ripping
536. 19:43lower. If you notice, I didn't plan for
537. 19:45anything premarket for us to start
538. 19:47ripping lower past the put wall, past
539. 19:48the 886, past the HVO, then I'm done.
540. 19:52I'm done. I didn't plan for that. I
541. 19:54didn't plan for that. I'm not going to
542. 19:56create a plan midsession. I will never
543. 19:58create a plan midsession. Why? Because
544. 20:00when am I most likely to be on top of my
545. 20:04game, fresh mindset, calculated
546. 20:07decisionmaking, it's before I ever start
547. 20:10watching price move around. It's before
548. 20:12I ever take a trade, take a winning
549. 20:14trade, or take a losing trade. It's
550. 20:16before all of that. Because if you have
551. 20:19frustration, let's say from missing this
552. 20:22move, let's say you missed this move or
553. 20:25you missed this move, okay? And now
554. 20:27you're frustrated. You see people
555. 20:29posting their P&Ls, you're frustrated,
556. 20:31you feel like you sat here, you couldn't
557. 20:32participate in the market, and now you
558. 20:34want to make a plan. Do you really think
559. 20:36that you're going to make the best plan
560. 20:38you could possibly make with that type
561. 20:39of mindset? Probably not. You might make
562. 20:41a plan, you might try and force
563. 20:43something. So, I always plan and I try
564. 20:45and structure the mornings where I know
565. 20:48what I'm looking for. I know the
566. 20:49location that I'm looking at and I know
567. 20:52where I'm looking to potentially sit up
568. 20:54in my chair and start paying attention
569. 20:55to order flow to determine where I'm
570. 20:57looking to take a trade. And it's
571. 20:58incredibly important for me to do this
572. 21:00pre-market routine because it takes away
573. 21:03a lot of that decision-m that I would
574. 21:05have to be doing midsession. And I don't
575. 21:07want to do it mid session because things
576. 21:09happen midsession that start to
577. 21:11deteriorate the decision-making quality
578. 21:13that I have. The further I go into the
579. 21:15session, the more trades I take, the
580. 21:18less likely I am to have just stone cold
581. 21:21calculated decision-m. I mean, I'm I'm
582. 21:23not going to lie to myself. It's just
583. 21:25that's how it is. And I have to
584. 21:26recognize that and understand that. So,
585. 21:28we got to do the heavy lifting before
586. 21:29the session ever opens. Now, I know I
587. 21:31kind of went through this pretty
588. 21:32quickly. I'm trying not to make this
589. 21:34video super long. So hopefully that
590. 21:37helps somebody. If you have any
591. 21:39questions about anything, you can ask me
592. 21:40in the comment section below. And I do
593. 21:43this every morning. So if you ever
594. 21:44wonder what I'm looking at, how I'm
595. 21:45getting these levels, how I'm how I'm
596. 21:48making my daily outlooks, why did I post
597. 21:50that, why did I take a trade there, it's
598. 21:52because of this. I'm doing it every
599. 21:54single day and it really doesn't change.
600. 21:55It's the same process every single day.
601. 21:57And if you don't make a pre-market plan
602. 22:00or you don't have any type of structure
603. 22:02around your session before you enter and
604. 22:04you just hop on the charts, wipe the
605. 22:06crust out your eyes and start looking
606. 22:08for an entry model and you're not
607. 22:10finding success.
608. 22:13Think about that for a second. Just
609. 22:15think about it for a second. All right.
610. 22:17Well, I will catch you guys next time I
611. 22:19make a video. Hopefully this helped out.
612. 22:21If it didn't, sorry. Peace.
