1/14 Pre-Market Read - Game plan Pre-market POIs / Game Plan (MNQ 15m)
Key context from the chart:
• We mapped the session range + prior levels and stacked POIs to create a clean “ladder” for targets.
• Important nearby references on your screenshot: Asia High ~25926, Asia Low ~25852.50, London High ~25878.75, London Low ~25701, PDL ~25803.25, and upside POIs.
My POI Ladder (targets)
Upside
• POI 1: 25,871.25
• POI 2: 25,920.50
• POI 3: 26,006.00
• POI 4: 26,083.50
• POI 5: 26,106.25
Downside
• Bear POI 1: 25,738.75
• Bear POI 2: 25,652.75
• Bear POI 3: 25,615.50
How I’m trading it today (simple rules)
Bullish idea
• If price reclaims/holds POI 1 (25,871) and starts holding above POI 2 (25,920) → I’m looking for step-ups into POI 3 (26,006) then POI 4/5.
• Best entries: retest/hold of POI after a breakout candle (confirmation > guessing).
Bearish idea
• If price loses PDL (~25,803) and can’t reclaim, that’s a warning.
• Break + hold below POI 1 (25,871) opens the door to Bear POI 1 (25,738) then Bear POI 2 (25,652).
What to watch at open
• Reaction at POI 1 / POI 2 (they’re your “decision levels”).
• Sweeps into a POI then immediate reclaim = reversal trigger.
• Clean hold above POI = continuation trigger.
Not financial advice — just my plan + levels from my system.

Liquidity Grab into Reversal (PDH / AM High → Sellside Move)1/13 Session Recap — Liquidity Grab into Reversal (PDH / AM High → Sellside Move)
Today’s price action gave a clean, teachable sequence:
Market Structure
• Price pushed into an upside resistance pocket (PDH + upper POI area / AM High zone).
• After the tag, the market showed rejection + displacement down, signaling the reversal was active.
• The rest of the session delivered a sellside expansion into lower levels.
What I looked for
1. Tag of key upside level (PDH / AM High region)
2. Rejection candles / failure to hold above level
3. Shift in momentum → continuation lower
Execution (Options)
I executed the move using QQQ puts and scaled:
• 626P (starter / main)
• 624P and 620P (adds as confirmation strengthened)
Outcome
✅ Clean reversal execution
✅ Scaled entries + profit-taking into the dump
✅ Net: +$165.68
Key takeaway
The edge was NOT predicting — it was waiting for price to reach the level, then reacting to confirmation.

Market Re-cap and structure of the dayMarket Type: Breakout → Trend Day Up
Bias: Bullish once PDH reclaimed
Result: + $128 | 4W / 1L
Key Levels I respected
PDH: 25,844.75
NY AM High: ~25,880
POI ladder acted as clean targets + reaction zones (POI4/5/6 area)
What price did today (simple)
Early AM was choppy / ORB filters blocked some entries (good… no forced trades).
Once price reclaimed PDH, it confirmed buyers.
Breakout pushed into NY AM High, then we got continuation candles = the edge window.
Later in the day, entries started showing “too late / low volume” → that’s the sign momentum is extended and risk increases.
My best trades / why they worked
✅ Took longs after PDH reclaim + strength candles
✅ Used POIs as targets, not hope
✅ Stayed with the trend during the best time window
The mistake (and the lesson)
❌ One late trade = reduced edge (post push / extension / “too late” conditions)
Rule reminder: If the system is warning “too late,” either size down or shut it down.
What I’m focused on next session
Wait for PDH reclaim + pullback continuation
Don’t chase after big candles
Trade the clean window, protect the green

All Cylinders Firing: VWAP → Valid Entry → ORB → Expansion (MNQ/Today was one of those “all cylinder's firing” sessions — clean structure and clean execution.
✅ The Blueprint (A+ Sequence)
Retest to VWAP (white line)
Context Indicator prints “Valid Entry” (confirmation)
ORB breakout (market chooses direction)
ORB retest / pullback hold (best risk entry)
Expansion to the upside into targets/POIs
📌 MNQ Read (Structure)
Price respected VWAP/structure and gave a controlled move.
Once momentum started slowing near highs / volume cooled, it wasn’t “press for more” time — it was protecting profit time.
🎯 QQQ Execution (0DTE Scalps)
Took calls only when the sequence lined up with MNQ context.
No chasing. No forcing. Focused on retest entries and profit-taking into strength.
🎓 Teaching Moment
Breakouts are optional — the retest is the paycheck.
If we break ORB but can’t hold the retest, we wait.
If we break ORB and hold the retest with VWAP + Context aligned, we execute with confidence.
