There is no need to try & bottom tick an entry / catch a falling knife. V bottoms are extremely rare. You are virtually always better off waiting for a higher high / higher low for your entry. $QQQ #NQ_F $SPY

1/4 General rules: Market moves from Balance > Trend > Balance. When in balance fade the edges. When it breaks out of balance go with the trend on the retest of the balance once retest confirmed. (this can be difficult & its best to use orderflow for confirmation.

IMO The 2 most important traits one can have in their trading journey are as follows: #1 The self awareness to know when you are about to do something stupid. #2 Your self-discipline to be able to do nothing is > than your impulse to do something that you know is stupid.
