HISTORICAL THREADđź§µ $SPY $QQQ $DJIA

There's been comparisons of this #stockmarketcrash
with that of 2008

People have been saying that 2022 is not 2008

They're not wrong, but let me give you a challenge
These are all weekly charts of the Dow Jones, so they're all significant bear markets and crashes. Can you tell me what year this occurred? Image
This one? Image
What about this? Image
This? Image
This one? Image
And this? Image
None of them are the Great Depression. In order, the crashes are in 1917, 1903, 1966, 1937 and 1907

The last one is 2008. Were you able to tell which year was which? Probably not.

The markets are a reflection of human nature and they tend to move in similar patterns over time
When fear steps into the picture, it doesn't matter what year it is or what's going on in the world

What we need to look at is how the market is reacting to it and how we can take advantage

When a stampede is coming your way, it doesn't matter if a lion scared them or a mouse

Volume profile is a ridiculously profitable indicator

But most traders using it still lose.

Here's how to use it the right way & turn it insanely profitable: Image
When most traders discover Volume Profile they do the same thing

They add it to their chart & get overwhelmed by everything on it.

- Value area highs and lows
- Points of control
- Failed auctions
- Session profiles
- Composite profiles
- Developing POC

Hours of study later they're more confused than when they started.

But the REAL power of the Volume profile has nothing to do with this...Image
The real power is in the raw data underneath all of it.

The actual volume at each price point.

Just the raw answer to one question: where did the market actually care, and where did it not?

That's what Volume Profile was built to answer.

And once you start using it that way, it changes everything:

Your support/resistance levels will never work

Because you don't know where institutions are actually buying

Price doesn't care about your lines. It cares about orders.

Institutional volume shows you where the REAL levels actually are.

Here's how to nail them every time:
For years I drew support and resistance the way everyone else did.

Look for where price bounced, draw a box, and then hope it holds next time.

And you know what happened? Image
It didn't. I'd get chopped, faked into garbage trades, and lose money.

I kept thinking I just needed cleaner levels or more levels.

Then I realized:
I was marking levels I HOPED would work, not ones that ACTUALLY did.

Price action is a beautiful scam

It looks clean. Feels logical.

But in reality, it's a trap, built to keep you losing money.

Here's how I escaped price action hell and now EASILY make $10k+/mo without it:
đź§µ
Without exaggeration, trying to trade price action is the #1 traders fail

It's that bad.

The reason it's so deadly is because it's baked into nearly every strategy

We've all been told "price action is king" and that if you just read candles the right way, you'll be profitable
But if you look at the overall trader success rate (<5%),

It's clear this approach doesn't work.

Some might say "skill issue" and that they simply aren't good at reading price action

But this isn't true.

Volume profile is the closest thing in trading to a broken slot machine.

But 97% of traders use it wrong or overcomplicate it

Here's how to trade it the right way (and make it insanely profitable): Image
Volume Profile shows you how much volume was traded at each price.

The two zones that matter:

High Volume Nodes (HVNs) = high volume levels where price gets stuck, chops, consolidates

Low Volume Nodes (LVNs) = low volume levels where price rips clean and fast Image
Image
Ever notice how price randomly wicks off certain levels then snaps back?

It’s not random.

Those are LVNs - areas with no buyer/seller interest

Price gets rejected instantly and snaps back to HVNs

Once you see this, the chart stops looking random… and starts making sense

Catching the TREND early is the fastest path to $1k days

Yet 98% of traders miss it because they overthink every move.

But the cloud bounce makes it ridiculously simple

Here's how to front run the trend before it takes off: Image
Trading what you think will happen is a losing game.

The market is built to exploit your bias and trap you.

That’s why the only edge is trading what’s actually there.
Every move starts the same way:

Price hits a supply/demand zone

Buyers and sellers balance… until one side takes control

That imbalance is the trend, and it lasts until the other side finally steps in. Image

A+ setups will be the majority of your PnL.

But most traders miss them without even knowing it.

I kept wondering why my best trades turned red…

Until I discovered the 4 key factors every setup needs to actually work.

Here’s how to finally nail them and get paid:
Most traders look for reasons to enter a trade.

But that’s backwards.

The real question is:
“Why wouldn’t the market move the other way?”

You’ll never know the exact move
But you don’t need to
If you get the direction right, you’ll get paid no matter how messy the path looks.

Direction starts as a 50/50 guess.

Stack just a slight edge above that… and your PnL will explode.

Here are the 4 factors I use to tilt the odds:
