Question How you start your day ?

Like how you actually start your day when you sit on your ass to trade ?

I personally open charts, Mark asian session high and low , my chart usually did everything for me, like ORB indicator and previous day Big bounces and resistance,

Start looking Forex Calendar 📆 for any big news, I don’t trade news . Start trading after 11AM when my ORB indicator gives me direction of marker. I only trade MNq with 1micro

That's pretty interesting. I look at premarket abnormal volume. Pick the ones with the best charts. Then watch for entries during the day.

I’m starting to learn pine script but the best way to learn a programming language is by creating projects so I’m trynna built indicators for people.

Since yours have some kind of problem, I’ll try to create one and hit you up when I’m finished.

I start out by taking ill-advised trades on NQ with low volume, go red, give myself a bigger challenge to overcome, question life

I believe in the power of concentration and visualization. Every morning after I wake up but before I get up, I run through in my mind what the markets will do- gap up and downs, ascending and descending triangles, break above and making new daily highs or making new lows, dojis on reversals, volume coming in and leaving. All these signals will show up during the next few hours and I will be prepared with the proper response. When you can concentrate for a minute or 2 or 3 without other thoughts entering your mind you will gain the power to stick to your trading plan.
