In this live stream, Ash begins the week by reviewing the market outlook with a bullish bias on the Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES), expecting new all-time highs based on support from bullish fair value gaps (FVGs) and internal to external moves. He emphasizes patience, waiting for confirmation of key levels with smart money theory (SMT) before entering trades.

Ash discusses the importance of using New York open data rather than pre-market information to avoid false signals. He highlights a missed long trade at the bullish change in the state of delivery, which reached a 2R profit target, and explains why he did not chase the move.

Ash also explains the initial balance (IB) concept and why he waits for its confirmation before trading. Throughout the session, he stresses sticking to a defined process, proper risk management, and emotional control as critical factors differentiating successful traders.

Ash advises beginners to practice with paper trading and delayed data to build skill and avoid emotional mistakes. He concludes by noting the market was choppy after the initial move, so he remained flat and patient, planning to continue later in the day.
