How I Trade

Maps out market structure and identifies the locations I execute from. Long/short at key levels is the core of how I trade.

Take-profit study on the intraday chart. Defines targets based on market structure.

Setup at the open — shows the probability that price will hit a specific level. High-confidence directional read right out of the gate.

Text overlay only — gives me the average daily range context for the session.

I watch the first hour range to understand which way it will break. We have a statistical method to predict with high odds which direction price breaks once the IB closes.

Same study, higher timeframe. Maps out weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly targets. These are the levels that matter most.

Momentum context on the daily timeframe. Helps confirm the directional bias from the Flagship levels.

Same momentum read on the weekly — aligning the bigger trend with daily and intraday structure.

Flagship on VIX to read volatility structure. Helps me understand the risk environment and how aggressively to trade.

Same structure mapping on CL — identifying key levels for execution.

Take-profit targets on the intraday CL chart.

I monitor the 3, 6, and 12-month crude oil spreads with primary focus on the 12-month spread. Currently watching Dec 26–Dec 27 as the key spread for directional context on CL.

My own custom internal. Measures real-time buying/selling pressure across the market.

Filtered tick reading that cuts through the noise of raw tick data.
