Ash Trades hosted a live stream during the New York Open, marking over 400 days trading his live account. He shared personal news about expecting his first child soon and announced a short break from live streaming to focus on family.

Ash reviewed the week's market biases, noting that his initial bullish outlook was invalidated as prices closed below a key fair value gap (FVG). He shifted to a bearish bias, looking for confirmation of a bearish FVG and continuation to lower prices, especially in indices like ES and NQ.

Oil remained decisively bearish, while the dollar showed bullish continuation. Ash emphasized patience during a slow, consolidating market with no clear directional moves, describing the price action as a "barcode" with little volatility or clean setups.

He explained his preference for trading only when his process aligns, highlighting concepts like change in the state of delivery (SMT), internal bar (IB) trades, and range trading strategies targeting extremes and 50% retracements.

Despite some examples of SMT and range extremes, Ash took no trades due to lack of clear entry signals and stressed the importance of quality over quantity in trading. He encouraged viewers to be independent thinkers, stick to their process, and accept flat days without forcing trades.
