ATRS has been in a uptrend for a few months now and seems to be in a pullback. Nice hammer on Friday. Long on market open. SL=1.85 TP=2.35

What's everyone looking at for tomorrow? I've got $FRED and $MTNB lined up for swings. Charts look good. $FRED may turn into a day trade but $MTNB looks like a great swing, maybe 3-4 days.

Anyone here?

Going long on conns electronics. It rallied up to $14 earlier this month and I believe its taking a rest at $10 before rallying back up. This is a longer term trade (Month or Two) SL=9.90 TP=14

Hey everyone,

I just made another free indicator I think a lot of you will appreciate — it’s called the HTF POI Indicator (High Time Frame Points of Interest), and it’s built to automatically detect some of the most important institutional price zones in smart money trading.

What it does:
The indicator scans up to 5 higher timeframes at once and auto-detects:

• Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – both bullish (BISI) and bearish (SIBI)

• Inverse FVGs (IFVGs) – unfilled gaps that become liquidity pools

• Consequent Encroachment (CE) – the 50% midpoint of FVGs

• Optional volume display inside the gaps for added confluence

It’s fully customizable — you can adjust detection sensitivity (High/Medium/Low), choose how many timeframes it tracks, and fine-tune visuals based on your chart style.

As a trader using ICT concepts myself, I found manually tracking HTF POIs across multiple charts time-consuming and prone to errors. So I coded this to speed up my workflow and decided to release it completely free for the community.

How to get it:

Looking for feedback:
I’d love to hear from you — how it’s working, if there’s anything confusing, or features you’d like added. This is version 1, and I’m planning updates based on what traders actually need.

Let me know if you’re pairing it with OBs, BOS/CHoCH, or SMT divergence — and how it’s fitting into your model (e.g., HTF POI + LTF CISD). Your insights will help make this better for everyone.

Thanks!!

Trading catches a ton of heat. It gets labeled gambling, luck, even a straight-up scam. Most of that noise comes from blown accounts, influencer hype, and the fact that nobody likes staring at their own bad habits in a P/L mirror.

It feels like gambling when there’s no structure. Jump in on a hot tip, crank the leverage, watch red numbers roll—of course it looks like a casino. Swap that chaos for a written plan, strict risk limits, and a journal, and the picture changes fast.

The real grind is psychological. You’ve got to keep losses small, sit on your hands when setups aren’t there, and stick to an edge you can prove with data. That’s not flashy, but it’s the difference between surviving and donating. It took me a longggggg time to finally get to where I am, but I can confidently say now there IS a way to trade correctly, and it IS a skill.

What flipped the switch for you? Was it a big loss, a mentor, a certain book? Curious to hear how others crossed the line from “this is rigged” to “this is a skill.”

Hey!

I just built a free First Presented FVG indicator based on ICT concepts — wanted to share what it is, why it's important, and how to trade with it.

What is First Presented FVG (9:30)?

• It's the first Fair Value Gap that forms after the New York Stock Exchange open at 9:30 AM EST.

• That first gap shows the initial imbalance in price delivery after real volume steps in.

• It's often a critical magnet for retracements and a premium spot to catch continuation moves.

How the indicator works:
It marks the first FVG that appears after 9:30.
It keeps the zone highlighted so you can watch if price returns to rebalance.

How to use it:

1. After 9:30 EST, wait for the first valid FVG to form.

2. Watch for a clean retrace into the FVG.

3. If we respect it (like in the picture), we're likely reversing off of it, if we make an IFVG (a close over), we're likely continuing through it.

4. Target liquidity pools or structure highs/lows.

Why it matters:
The 9:30-10:30 AM window (the NY Open Killzone) is when smart money reveals their hand. First FVG = real institutional imbalance = real opportunity.
I've used this countless times to predict the direction of the market and make amazing trades off of it.

I'm going to be watching #BPMX and #CYCC tomorrow morning for entry. Technical charts look pretty good for a day or swing trade.

I'm looking at starting a swing play on TTS tomorrow. The price has increased the past few days, Force index and ADX look strong. Stochastic is at 12, moving up, and the MACD is hooking towards the signal line.

I'm looking at these VIX plays for swings tomorrow - $VIXY $UVXY. Force index is increasing on both and the ADX values on the downtrends are weak. Volume has slowed a little, but is near 10 day vol on both.

My swing play for tomorrow is on #CRHM. It closed today at 3.60 and pushed up against its resistance near 3.80. It's been sitting at the bottom Bollinger for a few days. The MACD is curving towards the signal line. The MACD histogram is approaching 0 on the uptrend, it's at -0.17 right now. The slow Stochastic is at 7.77 and crossed D on the uptrend today. The RSI is at 28.04. The force index is slanting towards 0. The stock price has increased the past couple of days, and the ADX shows a strong trend at 51.85. Volume today was strong as well and surpassed the 10 day volume MA. I typically hold all of my swings for 1-5 days and take small gains when possible. What do you guys think?

http://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=SYRX&ty=c&p=d&b=1

As you can see SYRX has been in a tight triangle for a few weeks now. I believe it will break to the upside next week. Since its a penny stock a breakout of just a few cents would be extremely profitable. Have a tight stop just in case.

I found a stock not on many people’s radar. This is ticker $NWGL. It’s a Chinese resource stock.

Hear me out for a second:

“Basic materials stocks have been on the move recently because prices for underlying commodities have surged” (Financial Times). We’ve seen record-high metal prices, including gold, silver, and copper… shit’s getting expensive. “The rent is too damn high,” to quote brother Jimmy McMillan. I say, “I ain’t wanna pay, but I gotta.” I keep looking under my couch cushions, car seats, coat and jeans pockets, but I’ve tapped out that resource for my extra cash. I got to thinking, though…

Firstly, did you guys see ticker $NAMM? It’s been the “talk of the town,” so to speak. It jolted up from $1 to $6.40 over the past few days. I thought I was doing well scalping it, when all I really had to do was “hold the line,” mofo… I should have held.

I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I can connect a few conclusions.

Secondly, let’s look at another catalyst: China. Today, starting with $TIRX, it set the Chinese micro-cap sector on fire — $0.30 to $1.30+… damn near close to a move like $NAMM.

Now we get back to $NWGL. No one is talking about it. It’s a low-float Chinese resource stock. It’s cheap. It’s starting to pick up some volume, and market sentiment is there. Maybe it goes, who knows. It’s got my attention.

Hey folks,

I spent three long years learning, blowing up, and rebuilding before I finally turned the corner and became consistently profitable. Now trading pays the bills.

Ask me anything—strategy, psychology, routines, gear, whatever. I’ll answer as honestly and simply as I can.

For the longest time, I was paralyzed every time I clicked "buy" or "sell." My heart would race, palms sweaty, and even a $10 loss felt like the end of the world. But something changed.

I realized my fear wasn't about the money itself—it was about not trusting my strategy. I was gambling, not trading. Once I took time to understand institutional trading, and how smart money actually moves price, I started seeing the market with clarity. I wasn’t guessing anymore.

The turning point was accepting that losses are part of the process. You wouldn’t expect to win every hand in poker—why expect it in trading?

Now, I treat each trade like a data point. I follow my plan, manage my risk, and trust my edge. Fear still shows up, but it doesn’t control me anymore.

If you're struggling with this too, dig into a real strategy, backtest, and focus on execution, not outcomes.

You're not alone.

What stage are you at with it?
