September 23 — NQ Manipulation Lower, Then Higher

Simple today. Looking for a manipulation lower — a dip back through this morning's Asia/London range — before we see higher prices. Sweep the lows, then continuation. No extra conditions stacked on top of it.

NQ 1H — 1H — Manipulation Lower, Then Higher Prices

Simple read today. Price ran up through Tuesday and this morning's Asia/London range, and what I want to see now is a manipulation lower — a dip back down through that range before continuing. Sweep the lows, then higher prices from there. Clean plan, no extra conditions stacked on top of it.

The One Thing To Respect

The plan is short on purpose. Some days have five confluences stacked on top of each other; today has one — a sweep, then a shift. The discipline isn't in reading more into it than that. If price manipulates lower and I get the shift, I take it. If price just grinds higher without ever offering that leg, there's no long for me — my model enters on the reaction to the sweep, not on the direction being right. A simple bias is still a bias with a condition attached, and the condition is the whole job today.
