Thought of the day

If your trading system is the framework, then discipline is the glue that holds it all together.

It’s not a flashy skill. It doesn’t get the attention that setups or entries do. But discipline is what shows up when you’re tempted to bend the rules — and quietly keeps you on track.

It’s what stops you from giving a trade “just a little more room” after your stop gets tagged.
It’s what keeps you from revenge trading after a loss, or randomly doubling your size because the last one worked.
It’s what tells you: no, this isn’t your setup — step aside.

Discipline isn’t something you lean on only when things are going well.
It’s something you practice when you’re tired, frustrated, or tempted to do something you know you shouldn’t.

Because the truth is — your process only works if you follow it.
And the trader who shows up with discipline, day after day, will outlast the one chasing perfection every time.

Let your discipline do the heavy lifting. That’s how consistency is built.

MARKET ANALYSIS

QQQE is unable to push into a new high, with MCO hook-down and breadth extension hook-down from the Overbought area. Potential divergence on Credit Spreads and VIX.

Those are the potential concerns going into tomorrow…BUT, price remains above a rising 21dma-structure, and MCSI is still in an uptrend above the 10dma. The trend remains intact, with breadth still expanding.

Let’s see if these “concerns” morph into actual red flags tomorrow, or we reconfirm the trend with a nice breadth thrust to close the week.

TLMM DASHBOARD NASDAQ (MODEL: UPTREND ATTEMPT)

MARKET INTERNALS

Credit Spreads (SHY/HYG)

Downtrend below declining 21dma-structure. Retest of recent lows.

VIX (Volatility S&P 500)

Downtrend below declining 21dma-structure. New low breakdown.

10Y Bond Yields (TNX)

Still in that giant multi-month base.

/BTC (Bitcoin)

Back in that range again…just can’t get going. Might become Too Tight For Too Long soon…
