A trader uses Bookmap heat maps to spot seller clusters on ES and SPY at key price levels, then enters short positions immediately rather than waiting for candle confirmation. Their core rule: stick to clearly defined price levels so you can justify breaking your original plan without second-guessing yourself.
This is one of those few times when I'm combining my trading strategy with the bookmap. So sellers been sitting at this area and on the ES and on the SPY that coincided overlapped with this one level on my chart. At this moment, I did not wait for the candles to set up at this area and I've been just looking for the entry off of that level. So when price touched the level on its way down, I've been going into the position. I think at this area, most important rule for me is just to use the levels. And if I use the level, then I can forgive myself not going with the pre-planned trades.
