In an effort to better organize my computer and some of these pressing concepts, I will post the smaller/lesser important ones below, while keeping the more significant ones out to be actively researched on physical paper.
The Hidden Time Frames (9/17/2023)
Using the time frames hidden currently, like 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 25
might reveal something crucial about these “exceptional” cases that seem to violate the laws of market physics.
In particular, the tops and bottoms on 5/15m that seem to work powerfully despite having sig-candles clearly shown, may be working because of those candles existing on other time frames in conjunction with 1, 2, 3, or even 5m.
V Reversal Ideas (8/15/2023)
V reversals if MACD = D or A
Notes: wave B comes into play AFTER 5m bottom is set, even if debatable.
1m 21: out at lows + 7J if entry candle is gay (big candle or not ideal)
1) get out at HTF 21
2) On pullback from HTF 21, look for dip below 0 on TF. may trick with sig candle before 0 cross then push through 0 which is uncomfortable. be patient.
3) safe to hold. if we take profit at HTF above 0 and needing pullback, have to wait for TF wave.
4) take tf wave for new high, maybe need another pullback after. Check HTF2 for if MACD < 0. then maybe pullback for wave B on HTF
Options Ideas (8/15/2023)
Options Ideas
1) daily reversal candle followed by burst (through H/L, fakeout), followed by 4 HR divergence
1 week out, look for 6-8 points OTM
Check for 1 hr and 15m divergence. 15m should have it, 1h might be overnight and too late.
Try to hold until EMA resistance or higher.
2) Daily Divergence with sig candle
3) Daily divergent without sig candle
Sometimes we get divergence with a spinning top or something that is too weak for a reversal, big bar pushes through H/L, and then next candle rebounds hard. This rebound may come with the same phenomenon on 1h, 4h, etc. Look for these throughout the days while daily is divergent.

Digging Deep – The Onion with Motivation at the Center
There is a big circle with layers inside like an onion. Inside the very deepest layers, are very particular and fragile mindsets. Here we find things like extreme focus on a life-long goal. Goals like dropping out of school to work on a software that you think will change the world. Goals like wanting to become the first person ever to achieve some height or depth or distance or speed, with so many people trying similar things, falling short of where you get to. Goals like giving up your material life and relationships to become a monk for the rest of your life. The things that most people not only never really think about, but would never realistically be able to extract from themselves and utilize it to change their lives immediately. I saw a piece of this inside myself and felt a distinct power inside this layer.
I felt the motivation that it would take to achieve some of my dreams of wealth and success. I know it is there inside me, and I can pull it out. I can completely turn off everything in my life outside of supreme focus on generating all the wealth possible immediately, and then maybe not even returning to this normal life afterward. I could speak to nobody, not even leave my room until I achieve my goal. This is the level of determination that does exist out there, and has been used by several people before me. What if I did it? What if I completely threw everything away, burned every bridge, put every email, text, notification from anywhere and anyone, as a distant priority not even noticeable enough to remember during this period? Essentially, I become a monk in my quest to achieve the greatness I think I want so badly and still don’t do enough to achieve.
How would I emerge? Would I not immediately improve my life, status, and the relationships I could then have with people? I would be a new person, able to go and do so many new things that I am holding myself back from doing currently.
What if I do it? What if I dig deep inside myself and just pull it out? I can say “that’s that. No more of the old me, with the old habits, the old comfort zone, the old day to day life. I am a completely new man now.” What then?
Full Day Run Notes (2022)
2/24/22: 5m has divergence pre-market before getting above 0, and whole market is down. However, 1m makes an immediate spike and engulf, and the market is up the whole day. 15m was divergent as well and needed a wave. but the larger move is the 15-1h rising pre-market.
Protocol: is 15m on its way to the 0 line after a long progression of an unfinished wave? Is 5m divergent too? Watch for “unexpected” trend. 1m being already opposite of the trend’s side of the 0 line, it might reverse immediately.
3/18/22: 5 15 1h bull stacked, 1h divergent without clear top. 30 looks like narrowly escaping down wave.
1m starts same side 0 line, pulls back to 34 fast, then runs. It just had a wave around 6 AM which explains why it only needed 34 here.
4/13/22: 5 15 1h bear stacked, 5m right off 21 first touch. 1m just had wave off the 5m 21, so we know we need a new low immediately. but since 1m is already below 0, we wait for pullback to 34 then new low. Take note of 15m bullish low 1 candle prior.
Also note 5m is bullish divg if it breaks the low here, which is what it uses to reverse. 4H is up and we get a run
5/26/22: Very very tricky. Not clearly stacked, and 15m has a bearish top made, but not divergent. so not required to have a downwave. 4H is clearly up, 1H has an unfinished 34 to new high, meaning we need a new high at least. 5m doesn’t even properly reverse before it reverses. Market just bounces hard off the clean 900 level.
*Establish Protocol for constantly recognizing round numbers and “required” moves like the 15m which is not required here.
7/19/22: 5m shallow wave took it to a new high with divergence before open.
5 15 1h bull stacked
1m did not have 34 prior but pulled down.
5m made 34 first touch after wave, and took off.
Pressing Questions – Mental Focus and Willpower
Trading
If you are truly a master trader, then you should produce every single day in every single market that you trade.
Are you leveraging your abilities as a trader and other traits that you possess as an entrepreneur to continue to expand each day? There is no reason not to get better at something every single day.
Are you truly willing to do the extra work, such as drawing every hour, re-evaluating your mental state, journaling every single trade, and back testing extensively for the algorithms, so that you will become successful faster than otherwise?
Options
Are you doing everything in your power to maximize today’s profits on options? At least one trade per day especially if it’s not a day trade.
Futures
Are you doing everything to be aware of the next move on NASDAQ for this particular day? Are you preparing yourself to be able to catch it the instant the signal comes?
Forex
Exercise
Are you spending enough time working on your body so that you can stay in top shape mentally by being in good shape physically?
Have you made any excuses today to not do what you should be doing? Taking care of your physical health due to entry and fatigue is one thing, but making an excuse not to to target the appropriate body part for this day’s workout is not.
Mental Health
Are you doing enough to remind yourself each day that you need to be completely driven without exception for you to achieve the greatness that you desire?
Are you spending enough time at the conference table with your advisors and idols, so that you can inherit the character traits that made them the successes that they were?
Are you spending time everyday to visualize the riches that you desire or that you claim to desire? If you are not, then you simply don’t desire them enough. You need to obsess about them constantly for them to be attracted to you.
Are you completely devoted as you say you are? Then there should be no excuse for not producing returns on trading every single day, without fail.
Are you focusing on your mind when meditating and resting so that you can approach the market in the morning with an optimal state of mind?
Are you getting caught up in other things that are less important and allowing your emotions to control your decision making when you know better than to get involved?
Time Management
Are you wasting too much time on games and chatting and other worthless activities? If so, how do you plan to replace this activity with something more productive for today?
Personal Development
Are you spending time working on enunciation and speaking slower so that you can connect with a broader audience and not lose people under the false assumption that you are nervous or lack confidence?
1m Opens Same Side MACD as the Trend – Do we take the 34? (6/5/2023)
start same side macd, usually we want wave. if macd crosses up we should get wave..?
-what if we get 34 without macd crossing back up? do we take it?
1/5/2022: no we don’t take it
