New Member Onboarding

Website Navigation and Learning Steps

1st you will go through the terminology page. so you can better understand the content and the terminology we used throughout the website and in discord.


2nd you will go through premarket notes and EOD notes for the last few days (Either from an archival section of the website or via day trading link).

I also recommend that you read through the Archival section to get a better understanding of how I read behind the chart, extract dynamic price levels in real-time, and distill all the information into a 5-10 min read via Trading Edge Premarket Notes and EOD notes. You also have the ability to print or download premarket notes as a pdf.

Trading Edge Day Trading Notes Premarket will be posted every day in the morning between 7 am to 9.00 am EST. The premarket note is categorized into different sections. It basically starts with a closing remark from the day before, then it gives you the overview of overnight price activity and some key levels of other markets, then it talks about my thoughts for going into the day with some information, then it gives you a trading bias for the day(neutral, neutral bullish/neutral bearish, bullish/bearish), then it gives you a monthly, weekly key level, then it gives you an approximate range for the day, then it gives you some widely used key levels for ES Emini sp500, then it gives you the visual representation of buyers and sellers interested price levels for that day, then it gives you the text representation of same buyers and sellers interested levels in their own sections with some notes for each price levels (support or resistance). It includes more levels then it should be but the market is not predictable or it is better to have more levels there then feeling sorry later. It does not mean that all the levels will get hit on that day but you will basically start with the levels which are closer to the price at that time for that day.  The description for each level, its severity (bold, underlined, dotted, etc), its type (support, resistance, dream number, exchange area, etc) can be found under the terminology page.  The buyers and sellers interested levels can be either drawn manually by you on your chart or automated way https://rakesh.zeusconsulting.net/visual-price-levelss-r-indicator/

Premarket Notes Sample 2

Trading Edge Day Trading Note EOD will be posted every day in the evening between 5 PM to 9.00 PM EST.  EOD note is categorized in a different section as well. It basically starts with the premarket notes snippet to have the background of what we were thinking before going into the day, then it talks about entire day’s price activity including good trade setup, why and what reason in the EOD video, then it gives you the heatmap image of entire stock markets, then it gives you the visual image of day’s internals, then it gives you closing remark summary highlighting key levels for the overnight or what I would like to see in the overnight or the next day in terms of price action.

EOD Notes Sample

The links for both (Premarket notes and EOD notes) are available under

Every day, Try to assign a 7.30 am EST to 9.00 AM Est time slot to go through that day’s premarket notes and try to come up with day’s game plan in your mind with some thoughts of potential direction for the day after going through the premarket notes and levels.


3rd you will go through a trading-faq page on the website and read through all whenever you have free time over the period of time. Please go through slowly all the Q/A from this page from the website. It contains some of the Questions asked by subscribers/new members/followers from twitter and discord. (Please excuse my spelling mistakes as I type fast while trading during the live market and chatting with students/subscribers/follower at the same time). Grey color are the questions and blue is my answer. These are the questions asked by students/followers in real-time on twitter PM. Zoom it in your browser if you can’t read. If you simply go through all of them, you will learn a lot. It is a part of mentoring.


4th you will go through discord #new-members and #rules channel messages. it contains very useful information about my trading style and some rules.


5th you will continue to listen to discord voice channel and during the day time, you will only trade sim/paper/demo account or emini micro live for the first few months at least at the minimum if you are new to trading or not profitable consistently.


6th you will then visit day trading guidelines page after few days to have some trading guidelines or you can visit this earlier too if you want.


7th You will continue to go through EOD and premarket notes from the archival section to learn more from the past notes every day in your free time.


8th you will also continue to do your homework by going/reading through every day’s premarket notes before the market opens at 9.30 am EST. Ideally, you should be done by 9 am EST.


9th you will go through market pulse page on the website once every week on Sunday to just have a glimpse of what is going on at a larger scale. I usually update that page every 2wks or sometimes every month depending on the price action in the larger timeframe. If you are active in discord then you may get the same info in discord too sometime.


10th Optional, you will find a long term view of GOLD FUTURE, OIL FUTURE, SP500 FUTURE along with key levels under the long term analysis page of the website and you can find also long term levels for the few of the stocks.  Stocks are only updated when needed as i am a long term investor. That being said, I am not monitoring stocks on a daily basis. If you see monthly levels (pink lines) has been breached, let me know & I will update the charts. Pink – Monthly, Yellow – weekly, White – Daily S/R & green is the exchange area. I will continue to add more stocks here as and when I get time. & I need participation from you by giving me the stocks to perform analysis for you. No participation means you are not interested & I won’t update this page frequently.

Discord Voice Channel

Voice chat starts at 9 am EST under #live voice channel and runs through 12.15 PM EST for sure and after that, it is random based on the day’s context and price movement. I may come in and out. So it is important that you leave the voice chat on till 4 pm EST.  12.15 PM EST to 1.30 PM is a lunch break time and I usually prefer to avoid that time for trading = voice chat is most likely off during that time.

#voice channel:- 9 to 9.20 am EST, I usually walk you through the likelihood of possible scenarios for the day, do’s and don’t for the day, an overview of overnight price action, an overview of other markets along with ES and other market’s key levels, etc.

My Trading Edge Chart Setup & Trading Edge Tools Suite

I only use Tradestation for my chart and day trading. I also use thinkorswim on the side for my personal strategy testing. I do not use any indicators per se.

I do not use market profile, order flow, time and sales, elliott wave, ichimoku cloud or any other widely used stuff. I have 24hr vwap, RTH vwap, market internals (NYSE Advance/Decline line or AD, NYSE TICK), 24hr Midpoint line, and RTH midpoint line in my chart. That is all I use.

You can google on “Market internals” to find out about them. E.g https://futures.io/articles/trading/Market-Internals. I only use AD  and TICK at a very high level to gauge the strength and weaknesses of participants.  I do not use them to initiate the entry per se.

https://www.daytrading.com/vwap (You may gain some understanding of vwap here. I have it on my chart but I do not use it always. I keep it to read other trader’s emotions. The same thing is true for the midpoint line.
