This is not a creativity exercise.
This is not an opinion exercise.
This is a replication exercise.
Your goal is to demonstrate that you can faithfully reproduce the exact same analysis and execution that was demonstrated in the original MNQ Recap.
Step 1: Select an MNQ Recap
Choose a day from the MNQ Recap section of the classroom.
⚠️ Important:
Use MNQ Recap videos only. Use Searching Convention "MNQ Recap - "month/day/year" Do NOT use:
- Live Trading Room recordings
- Any other content
The purpose of this exercise is to compare your execution directly against a completed and documented trading day.
Step 2: Study the Original Recap
Before entering Market Replay:
✅ Watch the MNQ Recap
✅ Observe all chart markings
✅ Observe all entry models
✅ Observe all exits
✅ Observe all management decisions
✅ Observe all DRAM phases discussed
Your objective is to understand exactly what happened during that trading session.
Step 3: Open Market Replay
Using ProRealTime:
- Load the same date used in the MNQ Recap.
- Open Market Replay.
- Reset the market to the beginning of the session.
- Remove all future information from view.
The replay should be traded exactly as if it were happening live.
Step 4: Trade the Replay in Real Time
The replay must be completed in real time.
If the original trading session took 45 minutes, your replay should also take approximately 45 minutes.
The purpose is to train decision-making, not hindsight.
You may pause occasionally for note-taking or chart markup, but the majority of the replay should occur naturally and sequentially.
Step 5: Verbalize Your Thought Process
While recording your screen:
Explain what you are seeing.
Explain:
- Current DRAM phase
- Current market structure
- Friend Zone location
- Manipulation Blocks
- Accumulation Blocks
- Distribution Blocks
- Entry opportunities
- Reasons for entering
- Reasons for avoiding entries
- Stop placement
- Target placement
Speak your analysis out loud.
The goal is to reveal your thinking process.
Step 6: Match the Original Execution
The DRAM777 Framework is objective.
The entry models are standardized.
The exits are standardized.
Because of this, your replay results should be very close to the original recap.
The goal is to capture:
✅ The same setups
✅ The same entry models
✅ The same exits
✅ The same trade opportunities
✅ The same decision-making process
A successful replay should closely resemble the original recap.
If Coach took three trades, you should be identifying and taking those same three trades.
If Coach avoided a trade, you should understand why it was avoided.
Step 7: Record the Entire Session
Your recording must include:
✅ Screen share
✅ Chart markup
✅ Verbal analysis
✅ Entries
✅ Exits
✅ Trade management
Do not submit partial recordings.
Do not skip sections.
Do not submit screenshots instead of video.
Step 8: Submit Your Results
Post your submission in the comments section directly underneath the MNQ Recap you selected.
Include:
1. Loom Link
Provide the full Loom recording link.
2. Filled Orders Screenshot
Include a screenshot showing all executed trades.
3. Trading Results
Include:
- Total PnL
- Number of trades
- Number of accounts traded
- Account size(s) traded
Example:
- Total PnL: +$189
- Trades Taken: 3
- Accounts Traded: 1
- Account Size: 150K
4. Self-Assessment
Answer the following:
- Did I capture every trade Coach captured?
- If not, which trades did I miss?
- Why did I miss them?
- What will I do differently next time?
Submission Standards
A submission is considered complete when:
✅ A valid MNQ Recap was used (Use Searching Convention "MNQ Recap - "month/day/year")
✅ The replay was completed in real time
✅ Verbal analysis was provided
✅ Chart markup was shown
✅ Filled orders were included
✅ PnL was included
✅ Account information was included
✅ Self-assessment was included
If You Miss Trades
If your replay does not closely match the original recap, do not get discouraged.
Simply redo the replay.
Many students make the mistake of moving on too quickly.
The fastest way to improve is repetition.
When Coach was learning this system, he replayed the same days over and over again until he could execute them correctly without errors.
You have advantages Coach did not have:
- A complete trading framework
- An answer sheet
- Recorded examples
- Coaching feedback
- A community of traders
Use those advantages.
The objective is not to complete homework.
The objective is to build the ability to execute the DRAM777 Framework correctly and consistently without assistance.
Perfect repetition creates profitable habits.
