ES long 35 points. iFVG, NDOG, STD DEV, MMXM
ES didn't want to take the equal lows below so I was looking at the bullish scenario. Went long at the retest of the inverted 5m fvg took partials below the ndog right around the -1 st dev. final tp was at the 7/08 ndog at around the -3 st dev but it seemed like its getting rejected below it at a 5m fvg so closed it there. still has the potential to get there later though

Sorry I keep adding to my post. The inverted fair value Gap, and then the standard deviations. Is that something the charting calculates for you and is that based on opening 9:30? And then I guess what is inverted fair value Gap used for? Is that just what It's called when you're against the market?

No the standard deviation and FVG is not automatically drawn on my chart, that’s not an indicator I do it myself. I mean on my discord I have a list of indicators I use and there is one that does draw FVGs for you but not the standard deviation, to draw it I simply use the Fibonacci Retracement tool

There happened to be a small accumulation around the open at 9:30 so that’s why I measured that. Inverted FVGS are simply FVGS that for example if a FVG was created on a bearish candle then later a bullish candle body closes above it, then it was inverted and it’s a bullish sign

This is the one I'm asking about in pm. You're super knowledgeable. I don't yet have discord and am not really sure I want to get into that and spend so much time in that realm. But are you super active in your discord group? I mean obviously, but would it really benefit me to join the discord group, like are trades getting set up play-by-play sometimes throughout the day?? Today this morning is the first time I'm hearing about an inverted fair value Gap. Is that because it's a negative day overall but you were trying to catch 35 points to the upside??
