Rules to keep

  1. Compare NQ and ES at matching swing times on the same timeframe.
  2. Lesson 12’s bearish example: ES takes a previous high; NQ fails to take its corresponding high.
  3. Bullish mirror: one takes a prior low while the other does not.
  4. Use liquidity location, momentum and FVG behaviour to interpret the divergence. In the example, a later hourly FVG failure strengthens the bearish thesis.
  5. SMT is optional confluence. Missing early SMT does not eliminate a later valid entry model.
