#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 1.26 - 1.31.25Last Week : Last week we opened over the Value of 6054 - 5933 HTF Range and were able to hold over, when we got over the Edge that brought in more buying that gave us a push into new HTF Value of 6195 - 6074 Range where we have sold off from before after contract roll and we closed Friday with a rejection from a push into VAH. This Week : Last week of the month, new president is in, what can we expect this week ? Well looking at the structure we had a perfect rejection from the top on Friday which of course doesn't exactly have to be a top but if it were one it would be a very good looking one on the Daily TF if it was one. Going into this week IF we can't get over VAH and hold over 6160 - 70 to build supply to take higher over upper Edge then we could see balancing inside the Intraday Range of current Value to build supply and digest the move we had last week that is IF we have truly accepted in this 6195 - 6074 HTF Range. IF we have not found the needed acceptance here and we start getting continuation into VAL we have Poor/Weak RTH Lows there at 6111 which we could aim for, If taken out that could give us more selling to at least fill the Gap we created into 6093 area. From there we would watch if we absorb all the selling and can get back into above Value or if we can't and we hold under 6100 then we could see more selling to push into lower Edge and IF we happen to get inside it under 6070 then moves back towards lower VAH/Value are not out of the question as long as we can get through 6050s

#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 1.20 - 1.24Market closed outside of Value after failing under 6074 - 54 HTF Edge. We are set to open inside 6064 - 23 Intraday Range unless market gaps under/over after Mondays Holiday but if we open inside it then that tells us we are over Value and there are two thing we can do here, continue grinding/balancing inside the Intraday Range and try to push towards/into above Edge ? Or do we find more selling over Value that would bring us back into/under VAH, if we get under VAH we would be under Daily Stops so that could trigger moves towards the Mean/VAL of the range. If we do get back inside the Value we could find support and holds around it BUT careful if we take out out and get under Value, that can bring in more weakness for lower targets where we would watch for any continuation. IF the strength from last week stays, for us to see any bigger prices out of this HTF Range we would need to hold over VAH and have a strong push into or over the above Edge that would stay over, until then we have December supply trapped over 6050 - 74 so we may stay under this area and most of December Supply is valued over 930 - 70s and we have January month end approaching which means if more size needs to lighten the bag that could trigger some lower destinations.

How I Stopped Missing The Best Trade Entries!!I’ll be honest—when I started trading, I had no idea what I was doing. I’d open a 15-minute chart, see what looked like a good setup, and jump in. Sometimes I got lucky, but more often than not, the market turned against me. I remember one trade in particular that still stings when I think about it. I was trading EUR/USD on the 15-minute chart, and I spotted what I thought was the perfect breakout. Without hesitating, I entered. An hour later, the market completely reversed, and I was stopped out. Frustrated, I zoomed out to the daily chart, and there it was: I’d entered a buy trade right into a major resistance zone during a long-term downtrend. That trade taught me a hard truth: if you don’t look at the bigger picture, you’re setting yourself up for failure. How I Changed My Approach After that trade, I knew I had to change how I looked at the market. I started using multiple timeframes, and it made all the difference. Here’s how I do it: 1️⃣ Start Big (Monthly and Weekly Charts): I always start with the monthly or weekly chart to get the big picture. Is the market trending up, down, or just moving sideways? Are we approaching any major levels that could cause a reversal? For example, if the monthly chart shows a strong downtrend, I know I’ll only be looking for sell setups. That keeps me from fighting the overall momentum. 2️⃣ Zoom In (Daily and 4-Hour Charts): Once I’ve got the big picture, I move to the daily or 4-hour chart. This is where I refine my plan. I look for key levels like support and resistance or patterns like consolidations and pullbacks. These timeframes help me figure out where the market is likely to go next, and they’re where I start building my trade idea. 3️⃣ Precision Entries (30-Minute and 5-Minute Charts): Finally, I drop to the lower timeframes—30-minute and 5-minute charts—to time my entry. This is where I wait for confirmation. Maybe it’s a candlestick pattern, a breakout with volume, or a pullback to a key level I spotted earlier. This part takes patience. There have been so many times I’ve almost jumped the gun, but waiting for that confirmation has saved me more times than I can count. My Secret Sauce Here’s the approach I stick to every single time: 1. Align with the bigger picture. If the monthly and weekly charts are trending down, I only look for sell setups. I don’t care what the smaller timeframes say—sticking to the big picture keeps me disciplined. 2.Identify key levels. On the daily and 4-hour charts, I mark the major support and resistance zones where the market is likely to react. 3.Wait for confirmation. When the price reaches one of my levels, I don’t jump in right away. I wait for the 30-minute or 5-minute chart to give me a clear entry signal. Here’s the real kicker: I’ve learned to walk away if nothing aligns. No trade is better than a bad trade, and patience has become my best tool. Switching to multiple timeframes has completely changed the way I trade. It taught me to be patient, to respect the market, and to stop forcing trades that don’t make sense. If you’ve been struggling with timing your entries or feel like you’re always one step behind, I get it—I’ve been there. Try this approach. Start with the bigger picture, work your way down, and let the market come to you. And if you’ve got questions or want to know more about how I trade, send me a DM or check out my profile. I’m happy to help—you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Kris/Mindbloome Exchange Trade What You See

Why Most Traders Fail (And How I Turned It Around)I still remember my first trade like it was yesterday. I had no idea what I was doing, but I convinced myself I was going to crush it. Spoiler alert: I didn’t. In fact, I wiped out 20% of my account in less than an hour. I sat there staring at my screen, wondering what the hell just happened. If you’ve been there, I get it. Trading isn’t easy—it’s brutal at times. The truth is, most traders fail not because they’re bad at it, but because they’re unprepared for what trading really demands. I’ve made every mistake you can think of, but here’s the good news: I’ve also learned how to turn it around. This isn’t theory—it’s my story. Lesson 1: Winging It Will Destroy You When I started, I thought trading was just about picking the right stock or currency and riding the wave. I’d watch a few YouTube videos, scan some charts, and think, “Yeah, this looks good!” It wasn’t. I was basically gambling with my money. What finally clicked: -I needed a plan, plain and simple. One day, I sat down and wrote out what I’d do: what I’d trade, how I’d manage risk, and when I’d call it a day. -The first time I actually stuck to my plan, I didn’t even win big. But for the first time, I felt in control, and that was everything. Lesson 2: Risking It All = Losing It All There was this one trade—I'll never forget it. I bet way more than I should’ve because I was sure I’d win. When it went south, I froze. I couldn’t bring myself to close it, and the losses just piled up. By the time I got out, half my account was gone. What saved me: -I learned to only risk a small percentage of my account—1-2% per trade. Yeah, it felt slow, but it kept me in the game. -I started using stop losses religiously. No more crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. Lesson 3: Emotions Are Your Worst Enemy I used to get so caught up in the highs and lows. A big win would make me feel invincible. A big loss? Devastated. I’d jump into revenge trades, trying to get my money back, and just dig myself deeper. What changed: -I started journaling every trade—not just the numbers, but how I felt. I noticed patterns, like how I’d overtrade when I was frustrated. -Now, if I feel off, I walk away. No charts, no trades, just a reset. Lesson 4: Overtrading Was My Addiction I thought trading more meant making more. So I’d take setups that were “meh” at best, just to feel like I was doing something. What helped: -I stopped looking for trades—I started waiting for them. -Now, I focus on one or two great setups a day. The rest? I let them go. Lesson 5: You Don’t Have to Know Everything At one point, I was drowning in information. I had 15 indicators on my chart, followed 20 gurus on Twitter, and read every trading blog I could find. It was overwhelming, and it didn’t help. My aha moment: -Simplicity wins. I stripped my charts down to the basics: price action, support/resistance, and a couple of indicators I actually understood. -I stopped chasing the “perfect” strategy and focused on mastering one approach. You Can Do This I’ll be honest—there were moments when I wanted to quit. Blowing up accounts, feeling like a failure, wondering if I was cut out for this... it was hard. But looking back, I’m glad I didn’t give up. If you’re struggling, I get it. I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how overwhelming it can feel. Send me a DM or check out my profile —I’m here, happy to share what worked for me and help however I can. Trading isn’t about being perfect. It’s about progress. So take a breath, refocus, and keep going. You’ve got this. Kris/Mindbloome Exchange Trade What You See

Start Your Day Like a Pro TraderLet’s be honest: trading isn’t just about strategy—it’s about how you show up every day. If your mornings feel rushed or scattered, it’s going to carry over into your trading. Over time, I’ve realized the way you start your day can make all the difference. Here’s a simple morning routine that has helped me find clarity, focus, and confidence in the markets: 1. Take Time to Reset Before diving into charts or the news, take a moment for yourself. It’s easy to carry yesterday’s stress into today, and that’s not the mindset you want when trading. -Breathe it out: Spend 5-10 minutes just sitting quietly or meditating. Let the noise settle. -Set the tone for the day: Ask yourself, “How do I want to approach today? Patient? Focused? Disciplined?” Write it down or just say it out loud. 2. Feed Your Brain Good decisions require energy, and let’s face it, coffee alone won’t cut it. -Start with water: A simple glass of water can work wonders to wake up your brain. -Eat something solid: Go for a breakfast that gives steady energy—oatmeal, eggs, or even a smoothie. You’ll thank yourself later when you’re not crashing mid-morning. 3. Make a Game Plan Flying blind in the markets is a recipe for stress. Before the bell rings, take a few minutes to prepare. -Review the big picture: Check global news, economic reports, and overnight market trends. --Map out your trades : Look at key levels, set your entries and exits, and decide how much risk you’re willing to take. This prep is your safety net. 4. Stay Connected Trading doesn’t have to feel like a solo mission. One of the best things I’ve done is surround myself with people who understand the journey. If you’re trying to build better habits or find more consistency in your trading, I’ve been there. DM me for more info or check out my profile—I’m happy to share what’s worked for me. No pressure, just here to help. Kris/Mindbloome Exchange Trade What You See
