Why Your Stops Are in the Wrong Place | Trading Thesis Breakdown

Forrest Knight @forrestforce is upside biased on the weekly chart and targeting a naked POC at 30,022 on NQ. His edge is the volume profile. Not moving averages. Not RSI. Just where people are and how many of them are at each price. Volume profile shows where traders have their entries their break evens and their pain points. Those prices become magnets. If you want to go long sweep the prior day lows first to remove the downside magnet. That is the liquidity sweep in one sentence. On risk management: trading half a percent per trade and losing every trade just means you lose money slower. That is not risk management. That is a thesis problem. Your stop should be where the trade narrative breaks down not where your P&L feels uncomfortable. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 0:00 Market outlook: upside biased weekly consolidation 0:44 NQ price target: naked POC at 30,022 1:16 Volume profile explained: where people are matters 1:47 Volume profile vs moving averages: why one wins 2:04 Candlesticks plus volume profile is the full picture 2:39 Options and futures: why Forrest trades both 3:05 Double dipping: long futures and buying calls at once 3:57 Liquidity sweeps: prior day highs and lows explained 5:57 Sweep the downside before going long: how it works 6:20 Risk management: fixed risk vs dynamic risk 7:33 Trade the thesis not the P&L 8:15 If you keep getting stopped out enter on your stop instead 9:10 SpaceX: waiting for it to settle before getting in #ForrestKnight #VolumeProfile #OptionsTrading #tastylive #FuturesTrading #LiquiditySweeps #DayTrading #RiskManagement tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
