$EURUSD | London Session Took a long this morning based on a potential Judas swing into a 1H FVG, aligned with equilibrium of yesterday's low to Asia high. 3M MSS, FVG and retracement. Entered anticipating bullish continuation. Price failed to deliver and hit my stop. But the biggest lesson wasn't the loss. I told myself I wasn't trading this morning and went against my own plan. The model is one thing. Having the discipline to follow your rules is another. #London #EU

We are what we think the most about 🧠

$EURUSD As mentioned over the weekend, it's NFP week and my intention was to have my trading wrapped up by Wednesday morning's London session. With everything unfolding around Iran, the US midterm elections and the wider US news flow alongside NFP, I'm happy to call it here. The plan was always to take my opportunities early in the week and leave the rest alone. Time to switch the charts off and get some Christmas shopping started with my partner. 🎄 Tis the season and all that! Back next week ✌🏼✌🏼

Your trading model should complement your psychology. In many ways, your trading model is your psychology 🧠 For me, I prefer scalping and working off the lower timeframes. I like a quicker feedback loop, being in and out, usually within a kill zone. I'm also comfortable moving to break even early, even if it means missing out on a trade. Markets are cyclical, liquidity gets revisited and opportunities repeat. I'd rather protect my capital and wait for the next setup than feel the need to capture every move. Another trader might have a completely different temperament. They might be happy leaving their stop loss in place and allowing the trade to play out. Neither approach is necessarily right or wrong. It's about understanding how you operate and building a model that reflects that.

This is what it's about in the premium. 📚 I don't give out signals or tell people when to buy and sell. I show how I approach the markets, what I'm looking for and why. This member joined from the beginning with very little direction. Look at the trades he's taking now and more importantly, how he's starting to analyse price for himself. This is the progress I want to see. Developing traders who understand what they're looking at, rather than relying on someone else to give them entries. Anyone looking to join drop me a Dm. @Adrus475298 well done 👏🏼

$EURUSD | London Posted this morning that my initial bearish bias was wrong. Price expanded higher, swept previous week's high and gave us a new opportunity. Patience paid. Consolidation, bearish MSS, displacement and a 1M FVG for entry. Stops above the highs. 3R secured at market. Anything beyond 2R is a bonus. London done 🫡 #ICT #SMC

$EURUSD | London Session My bias coming into the week was bearish, looking for price to respect the 1H FVG overhead. Asia traded into it, London continued higher. Price never returned to market open, tapping the 15M FVG inside the 1H imbalance before inversing it. We're now trading around the NWOG. I'd like to see a reaction here, but the bullish delivery so far suggests my bearish bias may be wrong. #ICT #SMC

1st November. New month, new goals. This month I'm working with intention. Being deliberate with my time, my decisions and the effort I put into what I'm trying to achieve. The effort invested in something will always reflect how badly someone wants it. There's no shortcut around that. November is another opportunity to make progress, push further and get closer to the bigger picture. Get to work.

Whatever your goals are, write them down. Say them out loud. Visualise them. Believe they're already yours. That's manifestation. Feeling the emotion of achieving something before it has actually happened. Learn to catch your thoughts. Challenge the negative ones. If you can think negatively on purpose, you can think positively on purpose. Practise gratitude. Appreciate what you already have and how far you've come. Then start acting like the person you want to become. Make their decisions, adopt their mindset and feel their success before it arrives. Watch how doors start opening for you. I genuinely believe this is how the universe works. Your thoughts shape your mindset, your mindset shapes your actions, and your actions shape your reality. Start living as the person you're working so hard to become. The future you're visualising should already be reflected in the way you live today. 🎯 🧠 🙏 🚪 🔥 #Mindset #Discipline #Gratitude

Question for traders. Do fundamentals follow technicals, or do technicals follow fundamentals? One argument is that technicals lead fundamentals. Large institutions and market participants may already be positioning themselves ahead of major news releases, meaning the expected move can sometimes be developing on the charts before the news even drops. The other argument is that fundamentals drive the market, with technicals simply reflecting the buying and selling pressure that follows. Personally, I lean towards technicals following fundamentals, but I'd be interested to hear how others see it. What's everyone's thoughts? 💬

$EURUSD & $DXY | NFP Friday next week. Daily - TF EU quadrant levels are taken from the monthly discount wick. That grades the wick into 0.75 (premium), 0.5 (equilibrium) and 0.25 (discount). Over the last five daily candles price moved from premium into discount. It reached the 0.25 lower quadrant on Tuesday before retracing back into premium on Friday. Price tapped the daily VI, rejected and closed back below. Next potential draw sits below Thursday’s low, with the monthly FVG underneath. DXY is showing relative strength. It expanded above the daily OB before retracing into it around the 0.25 quadrant of the dealing range. PD arrays aligning here support potential further weakness in EU Data favours Monday and Tuesday for opportunities. Looking to have everything wrapped up by Wednesday morning’s London session, with nothing running for the rest of the week. #EURUSD #DXY #NFP
