I'm going to watch the market open and see what kind of participation we have. I still need to reinstall software due to the reinstallation of my platform.

I hope everyone had a great holiday.

First trade was a loser. Made it back with the next and then another long scalp. Geopolitical.

Short scalp after open. 10 points with positive slippage. I will take this as one and done.

Long scalps early. Break evens until a good 10 pointer. Rotating. S&P and Dow are not correlated right now. Waiting.

UJ this week on H1 was stopped by less than 10 pips for the buy trade.
I was on lower timeframes too. I learned just stay on H1 / H4 and look for the clear structure and break of structure
blue lines are Amy numbers... week levels. the highs and mid and yellow line is month mid

links below important posts by Amy with teaching using the levels she had on her chart.

That's extremely powerful to follow the hourly structure as I've recently discovered myself. I could have saved myself a lot of pain these past few years. I now keep my hourly chart, the 15 and the 5 to make my bias and structure decisions for my scalps on the 1 min. Good stuff!!

You too. Watching for the supreme court ruling on tariffs. Be careful.

Decent delta on that push above vwap. I was going to wait until things settled but saw continued pushing.

Sometimes I am able to determine the likely real push after open based on structure. Meaning if it goes the opposite way I am more inclined to view it as a fake out or market manipulation. I look for levels to sweep and trap before the return to the real move. I don't always get it right. I look for a move and consolidation-either a P shape or a lower b shape with the move into continuation. You always have to take news into account etc.
