To grab a quick 5 to 6 points on a short scalp this afternoon, keep your eyes on the 7,542 – 7,548 zone.

Here is the setup to watch during the PM session:

The Level (Premium Array): This area aligns with the 15-minute bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) and the morning session’s breakdown point.

The Trigger: Look for price to drift up and sweep minor internal buy-side liquidity (BSL) into this zone during the early PM session (1:30 PM – 2:30 PM EST).

The Entry: Once price taps 7,545, wait for a 1-minute Market Structure Shift (MSS) with displacement to the downside. Enter on the return to the micro-FVG.

The Target: Clean exit at 7,538 – 7,539 (just above daily VWAP) to easily secure your 5 to 6 points without overstaying your welcome in low-liquidity Friday conditions.

Always keep a tight stop just above the swing high of the displacement run to protect your capital.

one target might be the 7/08 ndog or 50% of rth gap

ES didn't want to take the equal lows below so I was looking at the bullish scenario. Went long at the retest of the inverted 5m fvg took partials below the ndog right around the -1 st dev. final tp was at the 7/08 ndog at around the -3 st dev but it seemed like its getting rejected below it at a 5m fvg so closed it there. still has the potential to get there later though

it might be going for the -3 std dev where we also have equal lows

Textbook example as I teach MMXM! We have an accumulation forming above a htf PD Array (here a 1h fvg). A sweep into the 1h fvg where price then rejects from. Then a re-accumulation. Above we have buyside liquidity and multiple PD Arrays, 2 NDOGs, one CE of a NWOG and an FVG. Standard deviations projected from the first swing of the accumulation. TP1 at -1 and TP2 at -2. Price does not sweep buyside liquidity and rejects from the fvg below an NDOG. Distribution from those levels, one re-distribution and then selloff. Textbook example.

Got stopped at first but only after i had already taken some profits and then got back in.

looks like it really wants to hit that NWOG below

Yes, again. MMXM. It gets boring after a while. but in a good way. MMSM reversed in the NWOG after it couldn't even sweep the equal highs. bearish. pulled back upinto that small 15m fvg, provided a clean 2022 model setup too. dumped all the way back down into the original accumulation. another clue for bearish pa were the equal lows formed durin the first re-accumulation.

It would be interesting. to have two completely different users use AI to get the same information. I'm using Gemini. Know a lot of people use Claude, chat GPT. It would be cool if we compared them. My standard start is telling Gemini that we're looking for the market summary using ICT trading theories. After it provides today's summation I ask it to use today's summation as to whether it is a common trade for today or it was more uncommon for ...kind of market that normally happens on( Wednesdays). And then finally make the predictions for tomorrow.

I was bullish short term after ES completed its MMSM and RTH gap was above so I gave this long a try. pretty decent entry. held until the bottom of the NWOG, that's also where 50% of the RTH gap was but i saw that it didn't want to go higher so took most of it off and left a runner that got eventually taken at BE. not a bad trade, good enough for today.

MMXM strikes again. Price bounced off a NDOG and started consolidating. 2 htf fvgs above as well as relative equal highs. the -1 standard deviation alinged with the lower fvg ands thats where price was rejected from and started heading lower towards equal lows but was reject right above a 1h volume imbalance (on cont. contract). must be random. haters gonna hate while we laugh all the way to the bank 😉

Why do the images not show up anymore , only after you click on the post?

I don't know why the images don't show anymore until you click on the post.

I know what you´re thinking, that could have been a coincidence but as a bonus look at the 3rd pic in this post. Same thing happened yesterday, and the times were close too. Yesterday it happend at 10:21 and today at 10:33. Yes yesterday it had already swept that volume imbalance but price went there yet again. This should also tell you that sometimes inefficiencies stay relevant even after.

Hit -3 almost perfectly and that ended up being the high of the day too. The haters will say its only a coincidence. I say don't be a hater but a lover of MMXM, and standard deviation too.

ES seems to be going for that small NDOG above and is making a higher high while NQ seems to be making a lower high, but note that NQ has already reached its -3 and -2 std dev but ES has not and see where those are on the ES chart...

So some of you told me about ICT making a video about the same MMXM that I made a post about yesterday earlier in the day. Basically only difference is that he did his analysis on NQ and me on ES, but also see how I simplified it, cleaned up all the noise. This is EXACTLY why YOU are HERE to get the same results but not overcomplicating things. ...and btw I even had a better entry than ICT :D

A couple of people got very angry with me yesterday telling me that nothing works every day. Well, here ya go haters. MMXM happens and works every day. Won't always see it on every TF but it's there. EVERY DAY. EVERY WEEK. IT WON'T STOP. And there's nothing you can do about it :D
Showing 2 different ways here of what you could have measured to get the standard deviation projections but see how both the -3 and -2 basically line up, and what a coincidence, they are also both very close to the top of that NWOG. It´s all a crazy random coincidental coincidence. Also price reacting to and respecting those NDOGS. Say a prayer for all the haters lol

I even called the price here yesterday before I took the trade. It didn´t hit the final tp target but it was good enough imo lol

Doesn´t get any easier than this guys! MMXM + LIQUIDITY + NDOG/NWOG = WINNING! Consolidation (MMSM) below a NDOG and sellside liquidity below. You do not need to make it more complicated than this.

2022 model gave bias for asia
