Anytime new kid. One more thing although I think this could be made into a system if A then B then short. I use it as a tool much like traders use market profile. Its just a way of understanding price action.

agreed. the more i trade, the more i am learning that discretion is important and it is hard to have just a mechanical system (not impossible but just hard). I see you use it, Bruce uses it, Dalton use it. Context is king. Everything needs to be taken into account while entering a trade and all these are mere tools in our hands

as of now we have a selling tail but no buying tail either today or combined with YD. Very high chance that the low is taken out. Question is where would you enter the short? I am sitting this out

Good stuff newkid...here is what I did (between the two of us we really botched this trade :-)...you didn't take the proper set up...I took the opposite...twice)
I was hoping to get to val and the edge of those singles...the fact that it came down so hard/fast to that level confused me...wasn't sure what to do...felt like I had to trust the level...did..3 tic and 4 tic losers. Sadly couldn't take the bounce off 2103.
If the market had wandered down to that level instead of dropping fast...would that have made a difference?
I X'd out a trade on the pic, please ignore. The pic just shows the single prints.
