FREE FIGMA TRADE JOURNAL TEMPLATE I wanted to make a simple template that's easily customizable for people who wanted to get into journaling their trades with Figma. I attached a short video in the replies on how to set it up. figma.com/community/file/167…

If you were to master one thing in trading, it has to be fair value gaps. Fair value gaps are one of the most important part of my trading, and in my opinion the most important PD array. You can center your trading around just fair value gaps and continuation sequences and you would still be profitable with a very high winrate. If price is unclear, simply demand a fair value gap. I did a lecture on fair value gaps and I go in depth in them, while keeping it beginner friendly. Go check it out, it's up on youtube now! Link in replies
going to be releasing a lecture on fair value gaps later! this was long overdue, was on vacation but i'm back now! going to be continuing my free course on youtube starting with this one

I caught myself trying to take a lot of setups based on the thought that "this could work," rather than why it couldn't work. Rather than thinking in the sense that a setup can work, I try to look at all the reasons I dont like it. When setups are good, the draw, key level, direction, timing, everything is so obvious. When some of those things suck, naturally you start to second guess stuff. I'm trying my best to fade setups that ring too many alarms like that. Obviously I'm not perfect and not the best trader in the world, so this is a thing that I'm actively making sure I keep up with, but some of the things I look for are: - Ideally metals and indicies are aligned. All the assets in the triad that im trading should also be aligned. - Does the LTF instantly v-shape? These days, I want to see a FVG be created as we CISD or after the CISD to show that we're expanding from the KL. I dont want stuff that takes too long to cisd. I want to see all assets at least show me a desire to expand on the LTF - I try to only look for sequences that are timed within the h4 and h6 opens. If we get a universal sequence 30 mins before the open, I'll prolly fade it so I can wait for the gap that is made at the HTF open, or wait for expansion from the current gap after the open - If I can argue both sides of the market, its probably a skip - If the high/low we take when we make an smtf is not a relevant level, instant skip - relevant swings are low probability when they're unsymmetrical on all assets

I’m definitely not a perfect trader at all. Last year, I extracted $60k trading props with ifvgs. Like sweep of liquidity, pattern trade an inversion for 1-2R. I didn’t wanna be a pattern trader so i started trading gxt a few months ago. Luckily i learned quick cause I had some of the goats in the space drill all the info in my brain, but I still am no where near what i was at before. Last year, i was copytrading like 15 accounts or something like that after slowly building up from 1 $50k account. Now i just trade 5 lucid flex accounts. I have this as my wallpaper to remind myself how picky I used to be. my bad if it’s corny I end each month up 10-20r, so i’m pretty confident i can scale further than i did before. I just think it’s a lot cooler to show where i’m at and that i’m just a normal dood trynna make it as well.

i think it’s low probable yeah - the sequence is dirty with si and the gold triad. after we take pdl on the gold triad, we consolidate instead of reversing. so when u force it with silver it’s already kinda mid - silver looked like it was in consolidation - the lows we sweep on si are unsymmetrical - the ltf signature at the cisd is kinda buns - i wanted to short indicies at the same time and ideally we move in the same direction i definitely should have skipped this one as well so i’ll note it down and hopefully be more picky going into the next few sessions

$GC +2.5R Looked on the TL today and it seemed like everyone took this so I wasn't gonna post it but whatever. Got souped on this prior cause I had improper stop placement. Just re-entered. Took ES longs in London and got breakeven to TP.
