I'm not here to sell you on day trading.

If you want to get really good, I'm the one to learn from. Scroll, and I'll show you how I read a morning.

This is what you see.

Candles. Then this is what I see: the cycles, the Q2 high where the stops sit, and a level right above it.

9:35. Q3 takes the high and taps the level.

If price ran up through one cycle, the next cycle opens, takes out the high, and then goes lower. Sell the bottom of the level. The stop goes at the top of the level.

Each new level, the stop comes down.

The stop steps down to the top of each new level as price falls. In this example, it never gets hit.

10:25. The cycle's done. Close it.

390 points on 13 points of risk: 30R on 4 NQ, in this example.

Hypothetical example, not a real trade. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss. Disclosure

Video placeholder: Ryland, sitting down, 60 to 90 seconds on why he built this

Why I built this

“I didn't need to build this website, but I did because I care about getting people to the result they want.”

“My mentorship already has great results from what I was already doing... I think this will make people even better.”

“I'm trying to help them get there as efficiently as possible.”

Real NQ · 1 hourMon 17 Aug 2026 · Eastern
The clock

Every day has four sessions.

My indicator starts the day at 6 PM Eastern and splits it into four: Asia, London, New York AM and New York PM. This is a real day, Monday 17 August.

The clock

17 August, the way I read it.

Asia and London kind of accumulate, and then you get that manipulation at New York, Q3. Q3 sweeps Q2, the previous day's high is taken.

The clock

Each session splits into four 90-minute cycles.

Same indicator on the 5-minute, New York morning. The lines are its key opens: 2:30 London and 7:00 premarket so far. 9:30 and 10:00 come later in the morning.

My trade, as I drew it

Short off the level.

That would be my entry. All the higher-timeframe stuff aligns, and the time cycles.

Drawn after the fact, not a recorded trade.

What the candles did

Price reached my entry at 7:45. Target at 10:05.

The stop was never touched. Real NQ 5-minute candles; my mark-up, drawn after the fact. Not a recorded trade. Full disclosure
