Read indicators together and focus on what you want to see

Each guide starts from a chart moment you will recognize, such as a broken swing low, a long wick or the minutes before the New York open, and shows what two to four PulseFlow indicators add when you read them together: the trend behind a swing, what happened inside a candle, how far the day has already run. You see more of the market, and you choose what deserves your attention: that helps you make better decisions.

Where to start, depending on how you trade

Nasdaq and index futures

For anyone trading NQ/MNQ or ES/MES who wants to reach every session knowing where to look. The guides set up the chart before the New York open and add a clock that shows how much each 90-minute quarter usually moves, so you can see which of your levels sit within its usual move. Then come more layers: the day's percentage targets, its average range, open imbalance zones and a Nasdaq buy-stop plan.

Before New York opens: a three-step routine for NQ and ES

Enter today's gamma levels, mark the volume references and find price on the week's map. Three indicators, one routine for NQ/MNQ or ES/MES before New York opens.
