The major goal for the week is to hunt for multiday parabolic setups:
- Focus on large setups that build up during the week or even multiple weeks
- D3 parabolics trend or reversals on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
- Multiday, multiweek PnD or DnP with Week 3, Day 3 breakouts that roll over
- Always be aware of the monthly cycle and signal weeks, is it a W2 trend a W3 parabolic, or do you have FGW/FRW/ IW?
- Leave the small fish alone, you will be too busy to see the large ones coming
