Backtest 2/11/26: A Long 2022 Model Setup - 1D bias is bearish - 3 drive pattern - Draw on liquidity from PDH - Clean MSS from forming swing low below previous low - Entry within 5m FVG-, OB-, OTE zone - SL set above draw on liquidity - TP targeting PDL or Asia lows US500 Short RR = 3.37

Backtest 2/9/26: A Long 2022 Model Setup Why is this an A setup? - HTF bias on 1W and 1D align with bullish setup - Clean sweep of SSL from London lows followed by powerful displacement on NQ! - Clear MSS confirmed by forming a swing high above the previous high - 15m FVG formed in the process of forming swing highs - Entry point at filling of imbalance, OTE range, and OB - TP targeting Asia highs - Bullish SMT divergence (NQ! swept SSL forming lower lows while ES! did not sweep liquidity forming higher lows) Concluding Thoughts: Overall, a very good setup. The long entry was precisely accurate as price wicks below to fill imbalance and continue expansion immediately.

Backtest 5/13/26: A- Long 2022 Model Setup HTF Bias: Weekly TF bias is bullish as it successfully re-tested bullish 1W FVG, suggesting that price wants to head towards expansion upwards. 1D bias is bullish, expecting PDH to be taken. AMD/PO3 model from the daily profile occurred. HTF bias turned out to be correct. Draw on Liquidity: Clear sweep of SSL from Asia lows, followed by strong displacement. Why is the setup not A ? MSS: MSS did occur but a clear swing high is not cleanly visible. Entry: Entry was not at OTE and moved into premium zone already. Entering at the first FVG from the bottom will be incorrect because MSS did not occur yet. Concluding Thoughts: The only concern regarding this setup is where the entry was taken after MSS was confirmed, which puts RR at a disadvantage relative to A setups. Additionally, since on this day, S&P500 futures traded into new ATHs, partial TP could have been taken at LO.H and let the rest run into NY lunch, which would have improved RR significantly. If 100% TP was taken at LO.H, RR would have been only 1.87.

Backtest 6/10/26: B- Short 2022 Model Setup Draw on Liquidity: There is a clear liquidity sweep of Asia & London highs at NY AM market open forming a Judas swing, followed by a strong displacement. PD array is drawn from London lows to the tip of Judas swing. HTF Bias: Weekly Bias is bullish as price is expected to test the reaction of 1W bullish FVG mid-week. Daily bias is bearish due to a hot CPI & escalating geopolitical risks. Daily & weekly bias turned out to be correct. TP: TP is targeted at London lows, which turned out to be correct. Why is the setup not A ? - MSS: There is a clear market structure shift as a swing low is formed taking out 09:33 AM low. However, the newly formed swing low is displaced very close to TP zone already. - Entry: The entry would have been much cleaner if price re-tests the top 2 3m FVG after forming the swing low MSS. This would have aligned within the OTE zone and OB-. Entering in the discount zone of the PD array would have made the setup much more attractive. - SL Placement: Placement of SL here impacts RR the most. If SL was placed slightly above the entry gap, RR would have been attractive at 6.53. However, there would have been a high risk of getting stopped out too quick in anticipation of re-testing other gaps above. On the other hand, if SL was placed slightly above the bottom 2 gaps, RR would have been 1.83. Justification for this decision would have been that price and swing lows were already formed in the premium area of the PD array, and thus the discount zone might not have been re-visited. Concluding Thoughts: There were too many imperfections with the placement of the entry and SL, which impacted the overall rating of this setup. This is definitely a setup that I won't be taking when trading live as it is not a "high probability" one. I would have only taken this trade live if after the swing low was formed, price moves up to re-test FVGs near the OTE zone. This means that I would have waited in anticipation for this higher re-tests and therefore, I would not have entered at the bottom FVGs. Eventhough the setup can lead to a profitable trade, we can observe the cleanliness of setup starting from the entry point to TP point (very choppy rather than a directed move towards target).

06/12/26 US500 HTF: Potential Short Setup Daily and weekly bias can continue to become bullish as price heads to re-test HTF FVG- & OB-. Will be observing reaction off this key area for a potential correction in S&P500. Not calling a top here but just a possibility of a setup forming.

06/12/26 Trade Journal: A Long 2022 Model Setup HTF Bias: 1W bias is bullish as price respected weekly FVG forming a long wick from the bottom. 1D bias is bullish as price is expected to retest daily FVG- formed from the previous week's Friday. Liquidity Sweep: PD array is drawn from last week's high to this week's low. At 9:45 AM, opening of NY session, price took out SSL from London & Asia lows, signaling that liquidity has been purged on both sides. MSS: After liquidity is taken, price demonstrated displacement forming a swing high, in which a 3m FVG is formed. FVG: Entry point was at the 3m FVG formed. Stop loss is placed below the area in which liquidity was grabbed. To validate the MSS, the previous swing high formed after liquidity was swept must be taken out, which was proven true. TP: Take profits were set at the first Asia/London highs above the premium zone. Concluding Thoughts: The RR on this setup is 2.16. This setup is an A one because London and Asia lows were both swept cleanly. Initially, I had two 2 concerns regarding taking this trade: - SpaceX IPO potentially impacting price action to move in an unconventional way. This turned out to not having an impact on the setup. - Swing high used to confirm MSS is too displaced and had a few minutes of consolidation before re-testing the FVG. This impacted RR significantly because my SL would be dragged much lower. Looking upon this, I could have placed SL slightly below the FVG instead of the are liquidity was taken, which would have drastically improved RR to around 6.06. This is because if price disrespects the FVG, the entire setup would have already invalidated as there are no FVGs under the entry point.
