Man enough to hold myself accountable here (Quick rundown on my trading day today)
Decided to fade this setup on stream today, and after taking a closer look at it, I know I messed up by fading it.
I was looking for NQ to tag into the 15m/1h gap from the 06:00 hour, and create some SMT before printing higher into the 4h -BRK at ~29,730.
10:00 did just that, and I faded it because we were trading directly into a recently confirmed 15m -BRK. Decided to stay sidelined and let it go without me, all good.
Some criteria that I had missed was:
1. We were coming off of a bullish 4H closure
2. SMT that we had at the high was old and not too HP given that it kept failing setups since Asia sesh.
3. The 15m -BRK was confirmed with YM SMT at London low. (secret sauce)
4. 10:00 was opening low and most importantly, it was in alignment with my analysis.
The main point here isn't that I fucked up, it's that I am willing to take accountability for my mistakes (as should you).
Sometimes you're gonna be a bot and miss setups, that's just part of being human.
Live streaming is also tough, you're trying to keep a good read and process information that the chart is printing, while answering questions and being entertaining, etc etc. (ya I know, I'm coping).
Anywhozers, up +4R on the day still, I just wanted to publically journal this AM session, and hopefully it helps someone else.
Cheers.

First office vs Current office.
Went from renting a room in my buddy’s basement to owning a home of my own with an office I could only dream of 4 years ago.
Never stop believing in yourself.
10:00 longs were so clean, I don’t wanna hear no “low probability day” nonsense!
One of the nicest TGIF plays a person could ever ask for!
This tweet gave fearmongers a raging boner today.
I’ll let you in on a little secret…
If you don’t want this to happen, don’t give your AI agents your fucking banking info
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

MNQ Shorts [+3R]
Here is a written breakdown (with no fluff):
Weekly Bias: No red-folder news, but notable earnings Tue/Wed (SPCX, TSLA, META) had me anticipating consolidation into a midweek reversal.
NQ opened the week with a devil’s mark, expanding higher without manipulating below the weekly open. Early indication of bearish delivery.
Daily: Friday’s high inside the daily -FVG was my key POI. Wednesday’s SMT with ES at this level strengthened my conviction for a move from IRL into the weekly open ERL.
NY Session: Following overnight expansion, price consolidated ahead of the open. The buildup of LQ suggested a pop of the range high before continuation lower.
Expansion → Consolidation → Expansion.
Execution: NY swept the range high, followed by consecutive candle SMT with YM at the new 4H open.
On the 1m, a clean -BRK overlapping the 10 AM open confirmed the SMR. Entered short.
Targets: LOD aligned with the 1m -BRK STDV, with the weekly open as the final terminus.
Clean setup, clean execution. +3R.
