Hi Smash, appreciate all the analysis. Do you ever discuss how you trade these levels? Do you just take quick base hit trades or do you hold for larger moves level to level?
Appreciate the support! I’m generally a short-term trader, so my main focus is entering trades around my intraday levels. I use the weekly levels more as a framework to gauge the overall strength or weakness of the auction. The key for me is providing context by highlighting important levels and potential targets so traders can make informed decisions.
How you use the levels depends on your trading style and the market environment. In balanced, non-directional conditions, a level-to-level approach tends to work best, with the biggest opportunities near the extremes, such as last week’s test of the 6805 level. In trending environments, there is more potential to hold runners. In other words, it is important to avoid taking profits too early in a trend and holding trades too long in balanced conditions. Understanding the difference between these contexts can help you adapt your strategy, whether you are aiming for quick trades or larger moves.
Thank you for the consistently high‑quality work you share in your daily plans and weekly reports. Your neutral, structured way of analysing the auction is incredibly valuable for those of us who want to understand and adapt our trading mindset through the lens of Market Profile and AMT.
One observation I’ve had is that many readers haven’t studied Steidlmayer or Dalton directly, yet they’re trying to grasp the AMT framework solely through your newsletter. This naturally leads to recurring questions about terminology, methodology, and how you interpret the auction.
With that in mind, it might be helpful to create a permanent reference page or technical appendix on your Substack—something that outlines your core concepts, how you define your levels, and the general structure of your analytical process. Your explanations are always clear, but having a dedicated resource to revisit would make it even easier for readers to follow your work and understand the methodology behind it.
Just a thought—and thank you again for everything you do. Your work is genuinely appreciated.
Thank smash 💥
You never late ⏰
