⚖️ DISCLAIMER – READ FIRST
This is not investment advisory. I’m not calling trades. I’m teaching you to think. These levels are NOT buy/sell signals. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. If you can’t afford to lose, don’t trade. No guarantees. Full disclaimer at bottom.
📋 To Be Fair to All:
- Do not post your trades publicly — only share with Gary or Q confidentially.
- The levels are key levels, but price can always change — no one controls the market. No crystal ball. No guarantees.
- We will post the tape after the fact — to avoid any misunderstanding during live calls.
- IF you create a student zoom room and you are bringing in paid members you are supposed to take permission. IKIGAI, Q or G and our associates and undertakings are not liable in any manner whatsoever directly or indirectly. Please review your agreement.
- We will not cherry pick. You will see the good, the bad, and the ugly.
- We’ll continue doing weekly calls to help you maintain clarity with structure.
🚨 WHAT ARE Q LEVELS? (READ THIS OR LOSE MONEY)
Q Levels are NOT support and resistance.
Q Levels are strikes where Market Makers who are EXPOSED will HEDGE. When price reaches these levels, MM activity creates reactions — but that does NOT mean you enter a trade.
Q Levels are 1 of 6 structure points. You need ALL 6 to make a trade decision:
| # | Structure Point | What It Tells You |
| 1 | Q Levels (Exposure) | Where MMs are exposed and will hedge |
| 2 | Liquidity Zones | Where stops are sitting (LQ Green / LQ Red) |
| 3 | Market Structure | Higher Highs, Lower Lows |
| 4 | Volume | Is money flowing in or out? |
| 5 | Time | Opening range, power hour, lunch chop |
| 6 | POI Confluence | Do multiple points align? |
❌ Q Levels alone = You will lose money ✅ Q Levels + 5 other structure points = You have an edge
Follow the education.
🚨 THE 5-MINUTE RULE (YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG)
WRONG: “Price hits 696, I wait 5 minutes, then I enter.”
RIGHT: “Price hits 696, I watch if it HOLDS above/below for 5+ minutes while checking structure. If it holds AND structure confirms, THEN I look for an entry.”
The 5 minutes is not a timer to enter. It’s a FILTER to see if the level is real.
| What You See | What It Means | What You Do |
| Price hits 696, immediately reverses | Level rejected, no hold | NO TRADE – wait |
| Price hits 696, chops around for 3 min, falls back | Failed to hold | NO TRADE – wait |
| Price breaks 696, holds above for 5+ min, structure confirms | Level accepted as support | NOW check your 6 points for entry |
The 5-minute hold is CONFIRMATION, not a green light.
⚙️ Q ALGO™ TIMEFRAME PRESSURE

Look at the flow 👆
— MASSIVE CALL WALLS at 695-696.
Puts don’t show up until 686. The battlefield is bullish.
🎯 WHAT THIS MEANS
CHART IS GREEN – BULLS IN CONTROL
- #1 Strike: 696 (53.2M) – MONSTER POSITIVE
- #2 Strike: 695 (49.7M) – GIANT POSITIVE
- #1 AND #2 are BOTH POSITIVE = Strong bullish structure
Price sitting right below the two giants (695-696). These are magnets pulling price UP.
Max Pain at 688 = 6 pts below current price.
🐂 LONG LEVELS (See Structure for Long)
| Level | Name | GEX | What Must Happen |
| 696 | P1 / #1 Monster | 52M | Break above + hold 5 min + structure confirms |
| 698 | P3 / Ceiling | 36.4M | After 696 holds, next target |
| 700 | Extension | — | After 698 holds, next target |
⚠️ DO NOT buy just because chart is green. ✅ DO wait for break + hold + structure (all 6 points).
🐻 SHORT LEVELS (See Structure for Short)
| Level | Name | GEX | What Must Happen |
| 691 | Flip Zone | 27.5M | Break below + hold 5 min + structure confirms |
| 686 | N1 / Floor | -15.4M | After 691 breaks, next target |
| 680 | N2 | -3M | After 686 breaks, next target |
⚠️ DO NOT short just because price is near resistance. ✅ DO wait for break + hold + structure (all 6 points).
☕ NO TRADE ZONE
| Zone | Why No Trade |
| 692-695 | Between Flip and Monster. No edge. This is where the enemy cooks you 🍳 |
What to do: Wait for price to break 696 (bullish continuation) or lose 691 (bearish reversal), then check ALL 6 structure points.
📊 SIMPLE DECISION TABLE
| Price Location | What To Do |
| Above 696 (break + holding) | See structure for LONG |
| At 695-696 | ⚡ Decision point – Monster zone |
| Between 692-694 | ☕ WE ARE HERE – watch for edges |
| At 691 | Decision point – does Flip hold or break? |
| Below 686 (and holding) | See structure for SHORT |
Key question: Can we break and hold above 696? If yes = more upside. If no = pullback to test 691 Flip.
