Everyone tells you generic trading advice like:

- Stop chasing your entries
- Stop disrespecting your stop loss
- Stop taking trades out of boredom
- Insert regurgitated advice here etc, etc

Okay that’s great but how do you actually put this into action and make changes?

I have some actionable steps for you to think about. They are outside the box, it's pretty detailed, and can be applied to more than just trading.

Here’s how I did it. Here’s how I have helped other do it.

(A THREAD 🧵) You will have to change your core beliefs. And to change your core beliefs, you need to be moved by two things: both by pleasure and by pain

Motivation is great, but you wont always feel motivated. That's where discipline comes in. But what most people don't talk about is that discipline fails sometimes too.

That's where a deeper level of thinking comes in and gives you a jolt of action to take in the moment

🧵Full thread breakdown of how I trade one of my favorite time models

🕓There are a lot of layers to time based models. I can go on for hours on my theories on time based deliveries and time ranges.

Over time I have built time based delivery expectations for time ranges for the entire NY session. I plan on sharing them all. (At least the basics to them)

Each time model does indeed have unique characteristics, and most of them will involve a macro. This includes the OHLC hourly macros 00:50 - 00:10 but there are others like the 00:40, 00:15, 00:45.

Time models repeat in cycles and under the correct conditions.

💵One of my favorites is the 1:10pm - 1:40pm macro.

Here is what to look for and how to trade it:Image 1:10pm - 1:40pm has unique characteristics. This time window will deliver price in one of two ways:

📈It will either begin an aggressive run through low resistance engineered liquidity made prior to the macro (Think stair case liquidity up or down)

or

📉It will engineer low resistance liquidity WITHIN the macro to then run through at least 50% of it after 1:30pm

Here is a cliff note version of how I view, anticipate, and trade the market everyday in a nutshell

If enough interest is there, I will make a full video breaking this down in more detail

Every trade I take is based around some or all of these components:

🔑Framing a key levels (for me, typically a 15min or 5MIN BISI or SIBI)

👑Midnight opening price (King of the Charts)

💡Q3 intervals (Where the most high probable 1min inverses form)

🕙DTT Levels (Digital Time Theory Levels)

⏳Spotting Time Distortion

At the end of this thread, I will show a picture of the market yesterday and you can compare it to what I illustrated hereImage 🕛When we open up, first off, are we above or below midnight? For illustration purposes we will use a bullish example. So lets say we open below midnight. By default, I would like to see price make a run back to target midnight opening price
