In this live stream, Ash Trades reviews market conditions ahead of the New York open, focusing on key instruments like the Euro, Dollar, Oil, ES, and NQ. He highlights the importance of Smart Money Techniques (SMT) and fair value gaps (FVG) in assessing potential price movements.

Ash notes a bullish bias on NQ and ES due to SMT at swing lows but remains cautious on Oil, waiting for clearer daily candle signals before forming a bias. During the session, Ash attempts a long trade after a sweep of a 15-minute swing low and a perceived bullish change in the state of delivery but is stopped out as price moves lower without confirming SMT.

He emphasizes the importance of managing risk and not chasing losses, choosing to journal the trade and stop trading for the day. Ash also discusses the timing of SMT signals, clarifying that SMT can be identified before candle closure, though waiting for confirmation may delay entry.

The stream includes interaction with chat, sharing insights on trade setups, and reinforcing disciplined trading practices.
