In my opinion, most if not all, students who come to me over my time as an educator on Price Action... make the same mistake.

They try to put every concept I teach into their model & this is not what you're taught to do.

You're to learn how to read Price, then trade 1 PDArray.
The book Street Smarts, which I recommend to readers, is an example of this.

Have a pattern or model that you hunt.

The model or pattern you trade is useless in your hands if you do not know when or if the market is poised to trade in a manner that your model can form inside.
If you learn to ready higher time frame Price and engage with a SIMPLE model like my OTE, or using NWOGs as a means to enter in that HTF premise... add a targeting model & time of day... you have your complete model.

Why complicate it?
I don't use or drag in every PD Array in every fractal of Price.

I use what Price presents me.

Due to this higher number of tools & years of experience with them, I can do more than you can.

Don't rush or force more on yourself or your model.

Wait for it to present...
If your model is not obvious in current Price action, sit still.

Do nothing but tape read.

Learning to wait for your model to present is a major learning milestone.

Most fail at this stage & rush in & force a setup out of chaos.

This is not taught by me & or promoted by me.
Every major league sports athlete you can name does not perform daily.

They are not in a competition every day.

They are, however, training daily to stay on their best performance curve.

Take your trades when the spotlight is on your model... not when the seats are empty.

In the parable of the Jade Master, what was the student doing with the piece of Jade he was given?

Everything he was going to do and those things he submitted to by the Jade Master's insructions.

When he didn't want to submit, he was sent home... without the Jade in his hand...
In my teachings, lectures & tweets, I am placing real market insights or "Jade" into your hands.

You don't fully understand the impact or strength of this experience when you are on your first few visits to me.

Over time, you will doubt less, interrupt less and see progress.
The best determination of progress is to watch other YouTubers and livestreams.

You will tell the difference between that and the real Jade I placed in your hand.

It is not invitation to troll or talk down to others... no, but rather observe quietly their ignorance.

Unnoticed.

One of the most frustrating things I see as a Mentor and mentoring others in Price Action... contrarians.

I am the poster boy for going against the grain... I have done it all my life. So I understand it, I really do...
I seen my Uncle fade me and my analysis and fail.

I seen students who paid me to learn how I see these markets, fade me and my analysis and fail.

My oldest Son is a contrarian... and failed in crypto.

My other Son has shown himself to be the same.

I have to let pain teach.
"Let me try it on my own... I have to try."

Once.
Twice.
Thrice...

Needless and creates doubts... fear and performance anxiety.

I wish I was more effective in conveying the fact that you do not need to do the dumb stuff to learn it is dumb.

It is a Good morning...

Trust you are well this day.

Yesterday, I put you through some difficult paces, my Son too.

Like any conditioning, it comes with effort, discomfort, and temporary inability to see the finish line.

However, now you have more experience...
If you turn your attention to the levels, I went over on YouTube for the ES review...

We dropped down to the +Breaker, rallied to the Buyside Liquidity.

Yesterday, the final hour managed to rally nearly to the Opening Range Gap High entirely in the last 40 mins.
My Son managed to put his account at 150724 & grumbled this morning he wished he held his long longer.

Much like he transition from demo to real funds trading; he & you will go through growing pains.

Immaturity leads to unrealistic personal performance expectations.

Patience.

Submitting to "Time":

The parable of the Jade Master shows two sides of the story of learning. The Jade Master knows what it takes to learn properly while the would be student does not.

The Master invites time to do its job, while the impatient student resists the entire time.
The Jade Master gives the would be student real jade from the start of his learning, while the neophyte students does not recognize he is being trained properly.

The Master submits to the task of teaching, while the impatient student doubts the entire process continually.
When the Master sees the impatience too high, he sends the would be student home. Not for good, but to allow him to feel shame for his impatience.

Once time has worn them into seeing their error, he returns to the Master once more.

The Master greets him again, like always.

Simple Model Example Diagram

In Bearish Markets, using Premium Arrays anticipate Bearish Breakers to form. Wait for Price to displace lower, Short the -Breaker, use Stop Loss above the High of -Breaker.

Target Discount Arrays, like opposing +Breaker. Target Mean Threshold.
In Price it looks like this...
Reverse the logic when Bullish... simply using Discount to Premium.

My thoughts on Bitcoin, and all things, Crypto...

I mentioned last summer in spaces here, that 2023 early spring we would see something develop.

CBDC are coming, Crypto needs to be UP to suffer later at the hands of CBDC which will be ushered in as a solution to Crypto failure.
As Bitcoin and other Crypto has slide lower the past months or longer, it has grown lame and as such lost the attention it held at 60k levels.

How does the Producer incite attention in audiences?

Drama! Bitcoin rallies higher, people chant for its comeback... 100k targets...
Imagine this plot twist...

Crypto and specifically Bitcoin trades to 33 to 35k... then crashes quickly, violently...

The media covers it as an Armageddon for investors.

Enter Stage Right: CBDC

Action!
