Hey Trader,
The Power of Persistent Prayer
In the journey of trading, there are moments when persistence is key—not just in our strategies, but in our faith. Remember:
When faced with uncertainty or challenge, turn to God in prayer.
Just as He answered the prayers of those who sought Him, He will respond to your heartfelt petitions.
Let this be a reminder that faith and diligence go hand in hand in all areas of life, including trading.
Stay strong and trust in the process!
Be Relentless In Pursuit Of The Will
Which God Has Set Upon Your Heart,

Crude Oil LIVE: Shorting At Session VWAP Thru Prior Lows Into Liquidity
In today’s fast-paced trading environment, making informed decisions in real-time is crucial.
As a retail trader, you might often find yourself overwhelmed by the rapid market movements and vast amounts of information.
However, with a systematic approach, such as leveraging two-timeframe momentum and liquidity analysis, you can sharpen your edge and make more confident trading decisions.
The Power of Two-Timeframe Momentum
This morning, I executed a well-calculated trade in light sweet crude oil, which perfectly illustrated the effectiveness of two-timeframe momentum analysis.
But what exactly is two-timeframe momentum, and why should it be part of your trading toolkit?
Simply put, two-timeframe momentum involves analyzing price movements across two different timeframes to identify the dominant market direction.
This method allows you to confirm the strength and sustainability of a trend, reducing the likelihood of being caught in false breakouts or reversals.
For example, if both a 3-minute and a 15-minute chart show downward momentum, it provides a stronger signal that the trend is likely to continue in that direction.
Case Study: A Successful Crude Oil Trade
Let’s break down today’s trade.
After stepping out early this morning, I returned just in time to spot a high-probability setup in crude oil.
At 9:15 AM, the market had established a two-timeframe momentum to the downside, aligning perfectly with the strategy I teach my clients.
Crude oil had pulled back to a key level—a level that I had pre-identified and shared with my clients.
This level was not just any arbitrary point on the chart; it was a confluence of critical factors, including session VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price) and previously tested support and resistance zones.
The market retested this level, and I immediately recognized an opportunity.
The Role of Liquidity in Trade Decisions
Liquidity refers to the volume of buy or sell orders waiting to be executed at certain price levels.
Think of it as the market’s fuel—just as a fire needs oxygen to grow, the market needs liquidity to move.
In my crude oil trade, I identified significant resting liquidity at $76.45.
Knowing that the market often moves towards liquidity pockets, I entered a short position at $76.86, confident that the price would seek out and consume this liquidity.
And that’s precisely what happened—the market moved quickly towards $76.45, allowing me to exit my position with a solid profit.
Why Confidence and Preparation Matter
My confidence in this trade was not a matter of luck; it was rooted in a systematic approach that I’ve honed over 13 years of trading.
By using a straightforward checklist—something I provide to all my clients—I was able to ensure that all necessary conditions were met before entering the trade.
The checklist confirmed:
Two-timeframe momentum was in place.
The market had corrected back to a key level.
There was significant liquidity at the target price.
With all these factors aligned, I executed the trade with precision, capturing a move from $76.86 to $76.45 swiftly.
The market briefly danced around this level, but my analysis suggested that further downside was possible.
Why This Matters to You
This trading example underscores the importance of having a structured approach to the markets.
By understanding and applying concepts like two-timeframe momentum and liquidity, you can make more informed decisions and improve your trading outcomes.
As retail traders, we often don’t have the same resources as institutional players, but that doesn’t mean we can’t compete.
