For those who are struggling becoming consistent in trading, feeling the pressure from family, or lost their jobs this spring and finally have the time to pursue trading… I just want to say I 100% know where you are.

Last week of the month and just one week away from midterms! Here is the Weekend Video Plan for #ES_F & #NQ_F for this week. I breakdown the weekly/daily/4hr to help provide clarity for what's to come. Let's close the month strong!

How did today's #NQ_F plan do? Swept PDL per scenario 1 to 28,987, failed breakdown ✅ Bounce to 29,150-170 & reject back to 29,082 ✅ 1.2: reclaimed, tagged PWL 29,220-300 (high 29,326), rejected ✅ Scenario 2 ❌ never reached 28,900-910 Plan > prediction. Choppy EOW but plan was still clear and action respected those levels. HAGW

Byron Scott says that Kobe Bryant would lift at 4am, come back and make 500 shots, do a full practice, then work out again at night, and says Kobe told him he did that because over the course of five years the gap would become impossible to close for his competition “There’s three people in my lifetime that I admired on how hard they worked: Jerry Rice, Walter Payton, Kobe Bryant. His was legendary. Kobe, as far as he never worked out just once a day. He would get up at 4 in the morning, or he’d say, ‘Meet me at the gym at 4 in the morning,’ and he would work out for two, three hours lifting because he knew he had to get stronger, had to get bigger.” “Then he would go eat breakfast, and then he’d come back and he’d make 500 shots, so he’d be there another two hours. Then he’d get ready for practice. He’d go through a two-and-a-half-hour, three-hour practice like it’s nothing. Then he’d go have lunch, chill out for another hour, then he’d come back at night and work out again.” “And it was crazy to me because his method of it was scientific. He was like, ‘B, if I work out three times a day and all these other guys who are so-called great players work out just for practice, they just work out that one time a day, over a five-year period they can’t catch me. I’ve worked out that much. I’ve worked on my body, I’ve worked on my footwork, I’ve worked on my shot, so five, ten years from now they can’t catch me. They’re that far behind.’” “I never thought about it until he explained it to me. I was a guy that in the summertime, go to the gym, lift weights, go to the track, run for two hours, then go play — and that’s equivalent to three times a day. But I never thought of it or put it in the type of method that he was talking about.” “I just thought it was ironic that a young man got it that quickly. He understood that if I worked out harder and longer and more than the guy who’s supposed to be on my level, sooner or later he won’t be on my level anymore. Kobe was extremely intelligent. He just said, ‘Scientifically, if I do this, you can’t catch me.’ And he was right. It worked.”

#NQ_F plan, Fri 10/23 29,085 is the line. Hold PDL + failed breakdown: bounce to 29,150-170 (9SMA/20ema), likely rejects. Reclaim it and 29,220-300 (PWL) is next. Accept below 29,085: 28,900-910 for a bounce. Lose that and Sept lows at 28,816 are in play. Full scenarios on the chart 👇 I'll grade this at the close to see how the market moved against planned scenarios. See you on the stream!

Let's close out the week strong! Here is what I am looking at for #NQ_F for the @NTLiveMedia stream tomorrow. Tune in! Daily - Price rejected from the 9DSMA and pushed all the way back down to 29,060s zone. It is attempting to bounce and as long as it can hold, we can backtest PWL at 250-300, where we can sell off once again. However, if we reclaim that, we have 450s zone that we can see, before another rejection back down. If we continue lower directly from here, we can target Sept lows at 28,816.25, where if we go there directly without much bounce, I think sets up a good bounce back to 9SMA. 4hr - Price is into the 1st LL as we dance around the 29k area. If we can hold, we can bounce to seek the 9SMA and put in a LH to possibly reject again. That may be into the PWL test at 29,200s, WHERE we have that 250-350 daily range support backtest. If we fail to reject there, look for 450s adn then a rejection. Failure to hold here and bounce, we can go down to 911 zone, but we have Sept low at 816 that would be main target on lower prices For tomorrow, will focus on shorts again below PWL

After the bounce, which was part of scenario 1, we got short when price rejected from the push to 600s, and has now followed scenario 2 and 2.1 Scenario 1 and trade idea below. Our daily plans guide myself and traders inside the discord WHERE to execute, and our 9SMA Framework tells us HOW to execute. Send a DM if you are tired of trading against the trend, or worse, not sure why a move is happening. Would love to share info on the group and welcome you in to PST. paradigmshifttrading.com

#NQ_F send it

Since yesterday's @NTLiveMedia stream, I have talked how as long as yesterday's morning low (4hr swing low) held, we can continue higher towards the 30,050-100 area to SEEK a daily 9DSMA LH. We have done exactly that! Here is a screenshot of this morning's #NQ_F scenario 1 and 1.2, with the 905 servign as this morning's b/b zone. What took place today? We broke out of the morning range, BACKTESTED PDH/905 b/b zone and then pushed out to that 30,100 target! We caught a great long from there and called it a day. If you need a second set of eyes to help plan out the day and trade along side the trend, send a DM and I can share info on the discord. We apply this process on a daily basis.

Perfect zone to zone action today in #NQ_F with my zones indicator that took me years to develop after spending a long time looking at left side action to understand where support/resistance constantly was and how to create a calculation around it. Available for discord members. Send a DM if interested in using it for NinjaTrader or Tradingview. Can share info on group too

Never have I seen a daily plan that is as accurate as yours Chris. Your read on levels and structure is uncanny and your methodology with execution virtually eliminates emotion. Trading just got boring.

Finally caught my short and down to partials in #NQ_F from stream. Who was hating on me to not short!?!
