NQ four handles shy of that level at the open …. 9 pts closer than 5/1 RTH open

As always, thank you Smash! The market takes baby steps, and the first step was placing the Daily into balance. However, in this environment, we have to play it day by day and assess what the MGI is telling us. As you always stress, reading how value develops each day is key. Being in balance could simply mean bulls are shaking out weak hands and searching for new buyers. I’ll definitely be paying close attention to tomorrow’s levels!

Smash, first of all, thank you for the newsletter; what you do is incredible.

I wanted to ask you, you've mentioned before that you use the DOM right when the price reaches the level of interest. You clear the Bid/Ask and Pulling/Stacking to see the development and the potential trade. Since I have your chartbooks, is there a shortcut to do this, either with a key or do I always have to do it manually with a right-click?

Appreciate it! Yes, you can assign keyboard shortcuts for that.

Go to Global Settings → Customize Keyboard Shortcuts → Trading Keyboard Shortcuts, and you’ll find actions related to clearing/resetting DOM data (Bid/Ask, market depth, etc.). From there you can bind it to a key so you don’t have to right-click every time.

That said, just to clarify my workflow: I usually do this after initiating a trade, mainly to get a clean read on incoming orders (new Bid/Ask + stacking/pulling) once I’m already involved. It’s often much harder to properly detect from the footprint alone in that moment.
