How do you mark your Pre-Market High (PMH) and Pre-Market Low (PML)
Lets answer that question ๐งต
1/ Different Market Sessions
There is 2 market session 1. After Hours: 4pm-8pm EST 2. Pre Market: 4am-9:30am EST
We cannot trade options for the most part during these times, $SPX trades until 4:15 fyi.
2/ After Hours
This occurs After the market closes therefore it is called After Hours or AH. See chart below. During this time news come out like earnings or headlines.
3/ Pre Market
This occurs Before the market open and is the open drive of the market and normally determines the direction for the day. Trader's focus here as there's higher volume here from the London session. Notice how we didn't break it today therefore no bullish momentum.
4/ Pre Market High
Based on the above this is HIGH of the premarket session. We mark this every single morning because if this breaks the momentum is in the bulls favor.
5/ Pre Market Low
Based on the above this is the LOW of the premarket session. We mark this every morning because if the low breaks the momentum is in the bears favor. Notice the follow through once the pre market low breaks.
6/ Phantom Wicks
Depending on your brokerage you will see random wicks in the PM (webull.) These are not real wicks as there's low volume PM. Focus on where price is clearly basing that is the low not the random wick.
7) After hour Lows
Sometimes price will make a low AH. This is important but it does not represent the momentum during the Premarket this can be used as price target when the PM lows. If there is ER this can be used as a new candle low.
8) How do I draw PMH/PML on Webull Automatically?
You can't you have to manually mark these every single morning but this can be annoying an a time waster so I use TradingView and have a custom script that marks it for me. This helps my charts stay clean day to day.
9) How to use these levels to trade?
If a stock breaks:
PMH = Long
PMH + PDH = Mega Long
PML = Short
PML + PDL =Mega Short
Levels don't break = no trades

You probably see me post absurd 100% gains on $SPY and think "This guy is just lucky". I've been trading the indices before 0dte were popular (prior to 2022 they would only be Mon, Wed, Friday.) But I ONLY trade them when my exact rules are met.
2/ The brutal truth most people won't tell you
Most traders think they can trade $SPY and $QQQ 0dte, until they get a little bit too confidence and blow their account. Not every candle on $SPY is a tradeable setup (unless you really think ICT coded the algo.) This is the ONLY setup you need.
We are are all told to see green take green in our early years. You will soon realize scalping 20% all day won't turn your small account into a big account.
2/ The risk behind scalping
You may not realize it but scalping is incredibly risky. Don't believe me? Then please explain why for the last month every time you entered a trade you got wicked out for a loss? You're throwing darts hoping to make $.
How to make your weekly salary in one trade by understanding this simple market pattern ๐งต
1/ Most new traders love chasing pennies
You're trained to "see green take green" at 10% while the pros hold for 100%+. See that is good in theory, but in practice it leads to new traders forcing bad setups. While the pros are chasing dollars and big gains. If you want to make trading a career you need to stop that mindset today.
2/ You're focusing on the wrong thing
New traders are told to focus on 5 stocks until they're consistent, but that leads to a massive problem. What if those 5 stocks aren't moving? A veteran trader would avoid those names, but a new trader? They get destroyed forcing the same bad setup over and over again.

Lets unlearn your bad habit and make you profitable, tonight ๐งต
1/ A lot of people (including you) got bagged today
You saw the massive gap down and saw a picture perfect flag forming. You thought to yourself "I am about to catch the bottom and get paid!." You loaded up calls expecting to be yacht shopping after lunch. The market said, "Nope!" You and your local FURU got bagged.
2/ Let me play mind reader for a minute
"I studied bull flags for weeks, this is exactly what they talked about in the videos! This is my chance to hit a good trade!" So you loaded up a bunch of calls because every FURU taught you that bull flag = free money.
