Initial balance set. Middle of the range. Waiting for NY open.

Short scalp on open towards the bottom of IB range.

In and out. Took some heat.

Good morning. Still in London session. Today I will be watching for inverted fair value gaps after sweeps. Short scalp 4 contracts.

No trades taken today. I was working on a new platform. Not that impressed with it to be honest. It's always best to test drive and give it a chance before jumping in and screwing yourself. lol

Finally cleaned up my workstation and removed that new trading platform. It was not to my liking at all. Lesson learned.

Ok, trading NQ today. A lot of scalps. I had a loss and a few break evens. I still made my target today.

I have my tpo and volume chart and my entry chart.

Fed speaking.

One and probably done. This is actually my second trade. I made one a little after the bell and thought I was done but I was actually on SIM. I had to refocus and so I took one off the bullish fvg with a bracket for 10 points.

Looks like a lot of buyers were trapped yesterday. Today could turn out to be anything but it looks like a lower case b today so far.

Sudden strong bullish push. Probably news headline driven. Buy scalp with the push.

Took some more scalps on SIM. Done with my account earlier on that sudden push. Fridays can be tricky and I don't want to give anything back.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Right now the profile looks like a P shape which is bullish. It could easily balance into a D shape and just rotate today. If we do go higher into previous value I am looking at those levels near term.

Bulls on open and a slow grind so far. Maybe a vertical distribution. We will see. That's when you get sell signals and it shoots up. lol Sometimes it's tricky to get in on the longs.

Couple of losers and some winners. Green and I may stop today. My experience tells me I don't do well if I push it. Sometimes you get a huge move where you can jump in nut I don't want to wait around. Just under my daily goal but there is always another day.

This is the premarket profile
We've moved through a lot of previous value. We can easily hit 25394 which is the high from Oct 10.

Bullish options flow today. I'm still trying to integrate this info. My data source is 15m time delayed.

Scalped the open. Short to London low- break even stops taken. Finally took a long near the low when buyer delta started poring in on ES. Took my 10 points.
