Market conditions have not been ideal lately, especially around all-time highs, so no trades have been taken by me today. Here was a valid long opportunity at the 9:50-10:10 macro on NQ; an SMT between indexes (NQ + ES), CISD, and return to FVG/ inverse FVG. Great r/r.
You can’t force a trade everyday. The right mindset is to plan on not taking any trades, and then you will only feel the need to take position if the right market conditions and setup are present.
A key part to successful trading is knowing when to and when not to trade. With no big news today and choppy PA, there is no reason to risk a trade when the market isn’t on your side.
