[tired plume]

anyone testing/using the JAV STRAT (from the forex chat) on futures? i've been both testing and executing trades on /MES with it and it's been working super well, fyi.

[granite hatch]

Thank you for adding this. 👍

[proven carbon]

Can you drop a link to it. I trade NQ and ES everyday and always looking to test new strats

[toxic widget]

lol @severe charm , you forgot to split it in forex, crypto and stocks 🙂

[sterile violet]

do you know the setting for ES setting for Lux algo. Why lux algo do not setting futures like ES, NQ, CL?

[past jungle]

I'm just using Autopilot settings

[tired plume]

for sure! here's a link to the tradingview chart: #💱forex-chat message

and here are the PDFs that explain the strategy (v1 is what i started with but i now use the v2 strat, which i definitely prefer). as i said, i was developed for forex trading but a lot of folks have discovered it in that channel and realized it's an amazing overall strategy (a LOT of folks use it to trade forex and have amazing results). interested to know what you think.

[proven carbon]

thanks man. ill shoot you a message maybe tomorrow after testing on NQ and ES a bit

[tired plume]

cool. i have it open as a tab in TV, occasionally take trades with it, but always refer to it alongside my typical setups to test it (and it's super accurate).

[tired plume]

oh and don't miss all the settings screenshots at the end of the v2 PDF. those are important.

[cursive dock]

https://tenor.com/view/minions-woohoo-yeah-despicable-me-gif-13968477

Woohoo thanks so much for adding this channel!!!!

[cursive dock]

Interesting, no haven't been following the forex chat so haven't read about this strategy at all. Thanks for sharing it.

Would also like them to add optimized settings for some futures instruments like ES, CL, NQ etc.

[tired plume]

you should for sure check it out. i've for sure had some success with it.

[ornate raven]

What is this?

[ornate raven]

Is V2 specific to futures?

[tired plume]

these were actually developed trading forex, ALL the traders over there use this strategy and have pretty amazing success with it, but i've been testing and using it for trading /ES and have seen equally amazing results.

[tired plume]

but they're both the same, v2 just develops it further and is a huge improvement IMO.

[serene shoal]

Yes, @severe charm you're awesome

@severe charm i just invited my buddy here from my server. He's interested in buying Lux and he's a customer of mine. Is there a way you can give the guy a free trial or something?

[heady breach]

I just joined. I trade ES primarily. Anybody use Lux Algo on ES at all?

[tired plume]

i test and occasionally use the strat above, mainly on /MES (still working my way up to trading /ES), works really well. also use PAC on its own a lot.

[heady breach]

I'll try that strategy. I already trade ES. Im just looking for one good set up per day, that I can use decent leverage.

[tired plume]

v2 is awesome. report back what you think!

[heady breach]

Will do thanks

[teal pasture]

Did you use 5 min tf?

[tired plume]

yep, almost always stick to 5m.

[rocky flicker]

Hello Derek 😉 What your suggestion for the NQ, MNQ timeframe to trade with LuxAlgo ?

This is my current chart: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/hpZvXtEJ/

[teal pasture]

Thanks bro

[night flicker]

I trade that on 5m as well

[rocky flicker]

Great morning with MNQ - 1 min chart ... still in Long position 😀

[sinful bramble]

what do you guys prefer on the NQ 5m or 15 min?

[cursive dock]

I trade ES and CL but on another platform (Ninjatrader) but use Tradingview too for bigger picture analysis

[cursive dock]

I use Wyckoff analysis mostly, think LuxAlgo will be a good complement to it

[lunar vale]

nice play!

[heady breach]

I'm on NT as well. That's exactly what I'm hoping LA can help with

[cursive dock]

I have an indicator from Tradedevils that shows a lot of the same stuff as LuxAlgo although doesn't show percentages with the orderblocks. Do you use volume profile? There are often nice moves off VAH or VAL every day.

[cursive dock]

This is the indicator I'm referring to.. it shows orderblocks, FVG, BOS, Choch too: https://tradedevils-indicators.com/collections/frontpage/products/tdu-market-structure-smart-money-concepts

[boreal nimbus]

make suggest on #🔍feature-requests and they will added it too

[cursive dock]

do you mean suggest to them they should make an indicator for Ninjatrader platform?

[boreal nimbus]

"doesn't show percentages with the orderblocks. "

I'm talking about functionality that is not in LuxAlgo and that you want to add, in the future they will be able to add it

[cursive dock]

No I meant the TDU indicator doesn't show percentages like LuxAlgo does. LuxAlgo shows way more.

[heady breach]

Wow, that looks very similar to LA. Thanks! I mostly trade off of support and resistance. I like 1-3 trades per day then leave. Im going to check this out. I was looking for something like this for NT

[cursive dock]

If I think of anything I'll be sure to tell them in the feedback

[cursive dock]

Yeah I don't know of any other indicator that shows so much as this one.

[toxic widget]

Lux PAC one of the most complex, Ed. have looked a lot for something similar online, I think theirs is most likely the most complete.

all market structure concepts touched and displayed

and not just that, but with additional data as well

[cursive dock]

Yeah it does seem the most complete of what I've seen

[toxic widget]

it reduces the TA time by at least 50%

that's, in my opinion, its best competitive advantage. no more looking for levels, drawing trendlines, checking volumes, looking for structures, etc. they all on the chart

kudos to the devs for an amazing job

[night flicker]

PAC is the only reason I came back for Lux

[cursive dock]

omg LuxAlgo saved my bacon this morning! I had a short bias due to the news but I thought damn.. that buy order block @3982 on ES is pretty strong so switch bias to long.. dug myself out of the hole and finished green!!

[past jungle]

Nothing to do today. pure end of month chop

[night flicker]

lmao forgot it's the last day of the month

[night flicker]

good chop

[cursive dock]

There is still money to be made today trading from good locations

[granite hatch]

I will check out the Strat. I am also using NinjaTrader and just getting started myself. I assume you guys are paying for live data here within TradingView in order to get good data from LA? I was thinking of also using Tradovate and linking it to TV. Agree on supplement NJ and TV together to get the best entries.

[cursive dock]

Yep I have a premium account

[vagrant glade]

Hi guys, what is your strategy to be profitable in trading with lux?

[proven carbon]

really depends on your trading style. i scalp futures on Ninjatrader or quantower. I would advise against trading through Tradingview (i only use it for charting) if you need extremely fast order fills to get in and out of trades. not a fan of tradovate either but thats more a preference thing. i find the UI clunky

[granite hatch]

I am also a TV premium. I agree not to use TV for live trading but instead use the data from LA to supplement decisions in NT. To get the live data in TV you have to subscribe to the CME Group data feed correct?

[past jungle]

Trying a scalp off this 10m order block on ES

Out

worked good for a quickie 😉

[proven carbon]

yeah if you are trading futures like NQ and ES. CME is waht you want. i think its like $5 a month

[night flicker]

anyone here to make some bucks?

[mild mesa]

@night flicker you knot it

whats the play for today

KNow^*

[night flicker]

first 30 min I observe.. It many times will reverse from there

put on HA candles, you'll see the R&S very easily

[mild mesa]

HA only to review correct?.. youre not llive trading with these are you?

[night flicker]

I am

but I do switch to normal candles before entries

[mild mesa]

interesting, I guess theyt wouldnt be good for backtesting

ahh okok

[night flicker]

if you want to back test (things without indicators) you can put on the Heikin Ashi indicator.. it will give you the HA candles under the candles

so if you want to backtest just S&R and such with a market replay you can do that

[mild mesa]

sounds good

[night flicker]

you see the possible play here on ES? @mild mesa

[mild mesa]

ahh to be honest ive been watching crypto this morning XD

looking like a good call

ive been playing discount and premium levels alot this week

[night flicker]

im all alone in futures lol

[mild mesa]

xD

[tired helm]

No your not I’m here with you I”m on ninjatrader watching ES on 60 minute & tradingview

Using candles and HA

@mild mesa

[night flicker]

you trade the 60m as well?

[tired helm]

my bad

@night flicker

I use 60 minute for clarity and trade entry on 15 min

[night flicker]

5m, 15m and 1H are all stuck on the Support zone

[tired helm]

Gotta reversal downtrend

[night flicker]

you looking for a short?

[tired helm]

Yes sir just entered

Too much drawback

[night flicker]

yeah.. seems stuck

[tired helm]

Breaking through now

On the move

[night flicker]

nicee

not my setup so I will let it move for now

[tired helm]

Bout to take profit closed out for quick 500 started to draw back

[night flicker]

quick bucks

[tired helm]

I was on MES

[night flicker]

500 is good even on ES

thats 10 points move on ES

[tired helm]

It was 5 points 25 contracts on MES

ES not willing to take that costly loss

[night flicker]

had a good entry on MNQ.. didn't enter cause it was doubtful

[tired helm]

Watch dat candle on 60 minute if I don’t see no wick and have momentum execute

[night flicker]

the waiting game

[tired helm]

I’m done for the day learned to take my money and run

[night flicker]

quick day lol

cya tomorrow then?

[tired helm]

Spy still in a range tho

Yes sir work last night going to take a nap catch up with you later hopefully we can learn from each other

[night flicker]

sure! I'll send you a friend request, have a good rest!

[tired helm]

Fasho …Thanks

[cursive dock]

was trading CL today

[night flicker]

I don't like CL.. not much volatility

I mean.. I can trade x5 contracts but meh

[silver relic]

Did some double dipping today…Buyers are holding February Monthly Lows

[cursive dock]

it sometimes moves way better than ES

[night flicker]

yeah agree, but feels simpler to catch good moves on ES

do they have good volume in non US trading hours?

[copper tiger]

is there a high chance that eth will drop like this today?

[lunar vale]

not a bad day

started out rough for me ill be more active in this chat tommorw im done for the day

[night flicker]

letss goo

people made banks today

🔥

[tired helm]

@night flicker hey I see you made some bread today

[night flicker]

yeah.. been a good day

took me a while but waiting it out increases my wr so I don't mind

[tired helm]

Kool was that on ES

[night flicker]

ES and MNQ, I trade 1 ES and 5 MNQ I will later on increase it to 2 ES and 1 NQ

[tired helm]

You hit that that 3pm long position

Okay 👌

[night flicker]

it was a short actually

[tired helm]

K

That’s good strategy to scale up @night flicker

[night flicker]

Thanks, hope it will continue like that.. I won't trade more than 10 ES and 10 NQ I think that would be my max

[tired helm]

What do you set ur stop loss at using that strategy

[night flicker]

I use adjusted recent swing and take 1:2 R:R

[tired helm]

Do u use ninja trader

[night flicker]

and TV

[cursive dock]

Not sure about non-US trading hours as don't trade that

[solemn lichen]

@cursive dock has earned the Lux Level 1 role!

<@!804115673248170025> just levelled up

Welcome to the Lux Level 1 role! Thank you for being an active member of the Lux Algo community <3

[night flicker]

Well I'll take a look at that though, because I make like 2 trades a day (which is basically 1 for ES and 1 for MNQ) so maybe another ticker would help me kill that dead time

thanks

[carmine terrace]

Can someone help me get the best set up

[lunar vale]

what do you mean by the best set up?

[still snow]

Took a hit today, any advice for tomorrow would be greatly appreciated. Using MES as my primary focus.

[lunar vale]

seems like the future chat is getting pretty active ill be here tommorow during trading hours!

[calm pike]

[lunar vale]

i got it right befor that pop

[tired helm]

I think ur getting ur reversal Mish

[night flicker]

[tired helm]

Lol

[night flicker]

10 minutes more to wait

Here is something that works in futures, when Support becomes a resistance

that's on MNQ on 1H but it also works in LTF on ES / MNQ

ignore the 1 random lines lol

[tired helm]

Kool

I’m still in she going to give me some love this morning

[night flicker]

some mini mini ES

you doing MES right?

[tired helm]

Yeah

Momentum sucks

[night flicker]

yeah

first 30 min hype then we die

[tired helm]

Lol

It’s going to continue building a range no breakout probably for a few days

[night flicker]

welp we got the reversal but I will pass on this one

[tired helm]

Yeah that wick to long

[lunar vale]

yeah i was looking for a short but that candle dosent make me feel good

[night flicker]

should I enter anyways

[tired helm]

No

[lunar vale]

what is happening today lol

[night flicker]

wanted to see how this candle will close.. guess not then

[tired helm]

I told y’all don’t get fooled straight Wall Street manipulation

[night flicker]

I think we go for that

still waiting

[tired helm]

Long or short

[night flicker]

I won't enter for now

usually my entries take 2 hours to form😂

I take rare trades but I think its worth it

[tired helm]

What intel you working with

[night flicker]

just HA candles and volume

[tired helm]

Lol need more intel then dat fam

[night flicker]

and experience I guess.. I rarely get a loss

[tired helm]

I’m finally up on my long position

3943 and rising

Mish I might get ur 3947

@night flicker

[night flicker]

wym?

I think we will get the 64

[tired helm]

🙏

[night flicker]

even though the 52 is also a strong area

[tired helm]

Took profit at 406.00

[lunar vale]

niceee

[tired helm]

My can’t take this shit…. Lol

[night flicker]

lol

[night flicker]

what do you use for trading?

[tired helm]

Ninja trader

[night flicker]

I mean.. what intel?

[tired helm]

I like custom ATM strategy they have

I can set my target and stop loss and it does the work for me

[night flicker]

is it different from TP and SL? I use that every trade but maybe there is something that I am missing

[tired helm]

No just maybe the settings you use

I played with different scenarios to determine my profit and loss

[night flicker]

yesterday I typed a price 3900 or something like that and it placed TP at 4900 I was confused till I saw that I didn't change it from ticks to price

it placed a order 3900 ticks above

[tired helm]

/

Mish second one is a trailing stop to lock in profit

@night flicker use the atm strategy panel on the side of your chart

[night flicker]

yeah I use that for SL and TP.. didn't know you have the extra settings

[tired helm]

Yeah where it say custom strategy sometimes I don’t use trailing stop tho bc it locks in profit but stops you out also if it pulls back

Never got ur reversal Mish she still upward bound

3951

@lunar vale yooo how you do today

[lunar vale]

right now im 350 up im playing super cautious just because of the wierd price action

but green is green!

[tired helm]

Kool take profit and run

You on ES

[lunar vale]

how about you having a good day?

yeah i trade es

normally 1 or 2 contracts

[tired helm]

I cashed out today not being greedy

Do you trade large contracts when market crashing

[lunar vale]

5 contracts is my personal max and thats only on super solid set ups

adn i normally scale in and out6

[tired helm]

Kool

@lunar vale yooo which luxalgo indicator you get the best results from

@night flicker

[night flicker]

OB

I only have OB on chart

[lunar vale]

i would aggree

[night flicker]

is it time to short MNQ

[tired helm]

Didn’t look at MNQ yet

[night flicker]

I prefer MNQ over ES

didn't switch languages lol

[tired helm]

Lol where you from

@lunar vale you use the order blocks detector

[lunar vale]

yeah i have that and the trend tracer on my chart

[tired helm]

Okay

[lunar vale]

quick scalp to the downside for 350 i think im calling it there

im stoked to have a group to chat with while i trade now.

[tired helm]

@lunar vale kool good job take profit and roll

Yeah it helps with the anxiety lol

Plus I’ve learned to tone it down with my contract sizes y’all made me fell better about trading smaller

[lunar vale]

oh for sure when i got started i was over leveraging myself alot and that hurt nothing wrong with trading small

[solemn lichen]

[night flicker]

boring day..

[lunar vale]

that es snap was crazy came out of no where

[night flicker]

well.. we did go for that

[wind rock]

Some news?

[still snow]

I thought it was going down for sure

[lunar vale]

alright team im calling it for the day hope everyone did good on this sketchy day

[rocky flicker]

MNQ 2 min Chart - Still in Long 😀

[lunar vale]

niceeeee

[tired helm]

@lunar vale

@night flicker

It finanally Broke out from its range

[lunar vale]

yeah it did big time now lets hope for an exciting day tommorow

[tired helm]

Yes sir

It was a good informational day for me seeing which of these luxalgos work for me best I just purchased them a week ago

[lunar vale]

it was game changin for me honestly

payed for itself in the first week

[night flicker]

Yeah.. missed a 600$ trade but oh well

Lets hope tomorrow we will get good opportunities

[night flicker]

What did you find?

[tired helm]

I like to just read the charts and see what’s it telling me sometimes too many indicators not good I knew the market was in a range and was going to break soon

[lunar vale]

oh yeah for sure its deffinetly not something anyone should get and follow blindly i think anyone that has a good base understanding of TA would benefit from it

[tired helm]

@night flicker I found the ichimoku is fire and the lux price action concept with the premium was fairly accurate today

[lunar vale]

i bet today was rough for a lot of the impatient traders out there

[tired helm]

True dat

You have to treat this like a job and be patient

[lunar vale]

100%

[tired helm]

My goal is to make enough where I can tell my job to kiss my ass

[lunar vale]

seems like you have the right approach patience and consistency!

[tired helm]

Yeah last year was brutal for me lacked the right information , found it and it has been life changing

[lunar vale]

i think thats what it is ... i truley think people get into it see its not easy have some rough learning curves and give up saying its not posible ive been at it for 4 years and just seem to have found my groove over the last 6 months or so

if it was easy everyone could do it thats why its so rewarding

[tired helm]

It’s a constant learning curve I will never give up until success is achieved education and self discipline is key is this business

@lunar vale true dat glad you found ur groove 4 years show how strong willed you are keep at it we getting better and stronger

[lunar vale]

i love the process man in that time i tried differnt things too swing treading crypto stocks doing ipo sclaps all this crap i found futures and im here to stay futures is my home.

and with this bro we can all just help each other and build each other up as a team

[tired helm]

Yes sir

Appreciate talking with y’all peace ✌️ out till tomorrow

[lunar vale]

later see you guys tomorrow for some more wins!

[lean hill]

What are you guys using to Scalp MES and MNQ??

[night flicker]

interesting, I'll give it a look

[night flicker]

personally ES and MNQ

I should use MES to lower risk but 1 NQ for me gives double the risk of ES so 5 MNQ is the same as 1 ES for me

[rocky flicker]

Good morning friends 😀

[lunar vale]

whats up guys

[proven carbon]

whats the bottom indicator youve got on your 1 min mnq chart?

looks like your playing OB bounces with trend?

[night flicker]

should I trade friday?

I hate fridays lol

[proven carbon]

you dont have chart layout sharing enabled man

[rocky flicker]

Chart Template: MNQ https://www.tradingview.com/chart/hpZvXtEJ/

[rocky flicker]

Check now, is it opening ?

[proven carbon]

yeah man thanks

whats the PSO indicator on the bottom right

[proven carbon]

Thanks bud. I like the clean look of your futures chart. I’ll message you later, working on an NQ futures scalping strat that’s been working pretty well

[ivory crater]

Order blocks on retest entered ,

[lunar vale]

@night flicker did you stay to trade? im up pretty good for a frisay i think im gonna walk

[night flicker]

yeah I entered

another pump incoming?

[bitter stirrup]

Hey everybody quick question. Looking at the chart today I just noticed these blue blocks on the price, it almost looks like the Premium indicator is highlighting or drawing fib lines automatically? What are they indicating?

[night flicker]

can you SC the whole screen?

it's not much info to work with

[night flicker]

do you have drawing on chart?

[bitter stirrup]

I don't believe so? 🤷‍♂️ I can confirm though, I'm still trying to learn all of the options with the Premium indicators, been using it about a week or so now.

[night flicker]

try hiding all drawings and tell me if it goes away

[bitter stirrup]

Ohhh I haven't drawn anything on the chart myself.

[night flicker]

if you don't mind removing the drawing.. right click the chart and press the remove all drawings

[bitter stirrup]

Yeah it's grayed out everything you see is the LuxAlgo Premium Indicators

[iron tartan]

So no blue labels anymore?

[bitter stirrup]

No they're still there.

[night flicker]

hmm.. interesting because I don't think it's the indicators because the indicator supposed to have a price on 12202.75 but you don't have anything there on the scale

[iron tartan]

I think I know what it is

[night flicker]

try hiding the indicators and you'll know if it's them then

hide them and lmk if it removes them from the scale

[iron tartan]

What are your chart settings?

[bitter stirrup]

It's a part of the LuxAlgo Premium Indicator as soon as I hid that it disappeared.

[night flicker]

you see the one that says "indicators and financials value"?

un-tick that

[bitter stirrup]

Well they definitely went away with that turned off. I don't mind them being there I'm just curious what the information they provide is.

[night flicker]

yeah but they will add up eventually

also, remove it in the drawing settings.. I draw a lot on chart (especially with placing trades on charts to adjust my SL and TP) so it will add up eventually

[bitter stirrup]

Oh I don't draw anything on my chart. I've found a great method using the Premium indicators that works so the less I have to mess with the better.

[night flicker]

oh okok

can you share the strat if you dont mind

[lunar vale]

hows everyones day going?

[tired helm]

@lunar vale yo yo what up big homie you get dat bread today

Lol wasn’t home

1k profit

[lunar vale]

still a good day

[night flicker]

I was roght

[night flicker]

[lunar vale]

today was a good day to make money

[rocky flicker]

MNQ still in open Long position, the good trade should not be closed...

[lunar vale]

i love it thats a killer trade man way to hold

[median tusk]

What is that indicator on the bottom panel?

[calm pike]

@night flicker What’s strategy do you use?

[ivory crater]

Does anyone pay attention to Live-Futures scanner : I got this at 9.10am ES1! 📈 STRONG BUY Signal (4H Chart) then I entered at 9.20

after verifying OB. Does this reliable ?

[lunar vale]

i would say its good to use those signals to sart looking for a place to enter but not follow blindly use your own TA and be sure to utilize a stop loss and try to think of a logical target

[night flicker]

i don't like just giving out strategies because you'll most likely won't know hot to properly use it..
So put HA candles on 5m
Put volume and enable 20 ma (this is a nice confirmation that I don't use most of the time)
And now look back and look for patterns

if you solved it you have my strat and you'll know how to properly use it, if not.. its not meant for you (its not to be mean or anything it is just something that I learned from being in the market for a while and trying various strategies)

[night flicker]

btw, if you have any question about HA candles and why sometimes it works for you and sometimes it doesn't (whatever it may be) feel free to ask me

[ivory crater]

How can we keep in a trade using the premium indicator? Neo cloud ?

Does the tool identify pullback?

[night flicker]

you have in the basic indicator an exit buy / sell.. they are small blue X on the candle that it suggests you to exit

you'll often see that it continues to rally afterwards but it's not perfect, what you can try to do is to add contrarian entries which may give you better exits

Here is a nice strat, these are the settings for the indicator, put it twice on the chart, each with the settings that I sent.
Cancel the "Exit Buy / Sell" in the style for both and the rules are simple:

• If we get a buy signal and the candle is fully green (not purple) we enter a long, we wait for the contrarian to show us a sell signal and we exit.

• If we get sell signal and the candle is fully red (not purple) we enter a short and we exit when the contrarian shows us a buy signal

Now, here is something to remember, you can look for trades around an hour and a half before market open and, place SL at the last swing, you will get trades where the SL is bigger than the TP but we don't care about it because it is rare..

Also, PLEASE PLEASE backtest it before because I a am not sure if I did enough back test.

[fair stag]

Which one has lowest commissions?
Ninjatrader or Tradovate

[night flicker]

that's only since the start of the month, 2 days of trading (1 day there were no trades even though it rallied 50 points)

[mild mesa]

Hey @night flicker you ever trade CME?

[night flicker]

their stock?

[mild mesa]

na mini futurers exchange

[night flicker]

that is what most of us trade here, ES and NQ (MES / MNQ)

[ivory crater]

Thanks for sharing, you added twice as per the settings.

[night flicker]

what do you mean added twice?

[ivory crater]

sorry, I might have interpreted this incorrectly, you mentioned here "Here is a nice strat, these are the settings for the indicator, put it twice on the chart, each with the settings that I sent." put it twice ?

[night flicker]

You put the indicator twice

The same that you would if youd want a few ema on your chart

[lunar vale]

@night flicker putting in work!

[night flicker]

yep.. boring saturday so had to put my time to work somehow

[night flicker]

Tomorrow I will share some of the things that I saw with ES / NQ using Lux algo.. some wild stuff

[night flicker]

welp.. it will take me more time.. building a whole strategy here lol

[deep quest]

What are the ideas and results out there for using LuxAlgo indicators, especially the premium ones for ES and NQ (MES and MNQ)? lots to learn and implement!

Is anyone interested in chatting about ES and NQ (MES and MNQ) during NYC futures market sessions?

[left parcel]

similar to old qqq strat lol

volume spikes and stuff

[proven carbon]

I look at both NQ and ES 1m charts and mainly look for corresponding volume spikes with trend and take trades on NQ for momentum scalps.

[left parcel]

u use a volume ma?

[proven carbon]

I’d love to see a spin on a really in depth volume indicator from LUX that’s standalone. Something involving volume pressure or imbalances.

Not an MA. I trade on ninja trader so I use a volume analysis indicator in there. I mainly use Lux for the trend following and avoiding resistance or congestion areas

[tough marten]

Just started with LuxAlgo basically because of the SM concepts from ICT (Inner Circle Trader). Does anyone use this indicator from LuxAlgo. If so, how successful do you find it? Does anyone follow ICT?

JakeTrade I see that you trade NQ. Do you find it easier to read then ES? I see you mention 'imbalances'. R you referring to ICT mention of 'imbalances'

[tough marten]

How long have you been using LuxAlgo? How successful is it with ES?

[night flicker]

Nah but I did get the idea to use the ma from them

[night flicker]

Here you guys go, lmk how it goes for you (PLEASE PLEASE BACKTEST BEFORE USING)

[balmy lake]

Whats the timeframe?

[night flicker]

5m

my bad

[ornate raven]

what futures are you trading @night flicker

[night flicker]

Personally ES and NQ but this strat was tested on ES

5 minutes timeframe

[toxic widget]

Mish, looking to automate yours to see how it works

can you emulate red and green candle with something else?

there is no math formula to see if a candle is green or purple lol

[night flicker]

Let me see if I find anything to replace that that would still give good results

[toxic widget]

rest of the conditions easy to turn into code

[night flicker]

especially with the alerts that lux supports

[toxic widget]

keep me updated, and send me something when you done

yes, Lux mainly

but any third party is fine

sky is the limit with automation 🙂

[night flicker]

np, sent you a friend request so I'll be able to dm you

[toxic widget]

busy at work now, but I'm around

keep in touch

Good morning everyone ☕️

ES bumping into Asian session high right now…👀

[night flicker]

btw, I wrote JaeSuite name wrong in the document.. wrote it JaeSuie

[night flicker]

yeah crazy pump

[dusty grove]

I have bias for the day just waiting on the 9:30 Judas swing..

[night flicker]

are you trading using the judas swing?

[dusty grove]

It’s one of my morning setups to look for

[dusty grove]

Like this.

[night flicker]

what TF is this one?

[dusty grove]

I personally make my daily bias from the 1D,4H,1H and then scalp for entries using the 5m,3m or 1m

[night flicker]

are you using lux to help you with entries?

[dusty grove]

PAC

And the free lux algo indicator sessions, I customized the times for killzones

[night flicker]

if I may, what changes did you change in the sessions indicator?

[dusty grove]

I also use MCB but that’s irrelevant here.

[night flicker]

Thanks for sharing you strat btw, always fun to learn from other traders

[dusty grove]

No prob, one sec.

I have my TV time zone set for NY

[night flicker]

Thanks!

[dusty grove]

my current setup:

[night flicker]

also, one last question, when you are looking at the Sessions, do you look at price from previous week?

[dusty grove]

the times that I changed are set to killzones which are my when trading is most active they're the times I hunt for entires if conditions are right.

basically the easiest times to catch high volume quick 3:1 scalps

I use ICT and SMC methods in my setups

brb gotta keep my eyes peeled for judas swing in a few mins ✌🏼

[night flicker]

sure, thanks for the info!

[dusty grove]

this might help if you're not familiar with ICT concepts.

[night flicker]

where tf is everyone?

Can you trade credit spreads on futures?

[lunar vale]

whatsss upppppp

im late today

[night flicker]

gm brother

[lunar vale]

hopw we doing so far?

[night flicker]

got a big pump, didn't enter, had a signal but didn't like how price moved on signal

[gloomy tusk]

Where is everyone

[night flicker]

im working on a strat that can be automated.. don't like the price movement atm

[lunar vale]

yeah seems to be a little dodgy at the moment im waiting for a better opportunity

[night flicker]

same, if we keep on pumping non-stop guess I won't have a trade today

[night flicker]

boring day... we had 20 points rally for each direction.. wasn't worth entery, not much good setups

[lunar vale]

yeah it was i got a couple trades in today but nothing super exciting

thats how it goes sometimes

[night flicker]

yep.. maybe tomorrow would be better

[lunar vale]

yes sir the market will give us something eventually

[unreal vault]

AH is always relaxed and make money

[night flicker]

#📈stocks-futures-chat go to pins

[ornate raven]

what mish said, its in stock chat, check the pins, there is original strat and evolved strat

[balmy lake]

Can we use this strat for forex also?

[dusty grove]

Good morning ☕️ everyone. Sticking to my plan: ✌🏼

[night flicker]

ask in #💱forex-chat

[proven carbon]

After hours trading. Usually refers to after the NY close

[night flicker]

whats your take for today?

[night flicker]

ohh.. I need to find a setup for non-NY hours

[proven carbon]

Low volume usually means flat price action but if you find a decent trend you can sometimes ride it pretty far with less volatility

[lunar vale]

morning everyone

[night flicker]

morning Jared

[lunar vale]

whats you bias for today mish?

[night flicker]

I don't actually have a bias, my trades aren't bias based

[rocky willow]

glad to be here, especially with some good lads like yourself mish, this round’s going to be fun

[night flicker]

when the market will settle after today.. easy money

I had to finish my APEX though so I just entered today didn't care whether it is a loss or not.. you have to trade minimum of 7 days and this one was my last

[ivory crater]

S&P 500 is a stock index

[rocky willow]

i never understood nor liked the premise of funded accounts. idk sounds like a loan to me lol. but i’m waiting on ibkr to receive my deposit and finish my kyc, hopefully by eow cause i got a good play in mind

[night flicker]

it's simple actually.. you pay monthly and they give you a funded account.. you first need to pass the evaluation and when you do you don't risk your money except of your monthly payment

[hearty rivet]

hey guys

im new to futures

i want to trade micro for ES and for NQ

[night flicker]

after that some take 10% of your profit and some 20% depends on the prop firm

[hearty rivet]

using tradingviews papertrading, what ticker must i open for both

[hearty rivet]

couldve gave you 80% discouint code

[hearty rivet]

ty mish

[night flicker]

MNQ is mini

so you want NQ1!

[hearty rivet]

i want to trade micro not mini

[rocky willow]

and what if you go to 0?

[night flicker]

keep in mind that the size of my TP 5 MNQ is equal to 1 ES as in $ profit

[hearty rivet]

i tried nq1 for 5 contracts and it gave me 5 mini contracts

[night flicker]

so you can basically lose up to X amount.. it's a buying power of Y amount but you can lose up to X amount before getting liquidated

I paid 74$ for a 25k account, had to make 1.5K in 7 trading days and I can lose up to 1.5k

[rocky willow]

and after they don’t ask for those funds back?

[hearty rivet]

suppose asset droped 100%

wouldnt you lose 25k, how is it worth it to those funded acc providers to take ur $74 and lose 25k

[night flicker]

I think but after my first 1.5k of the real money I can lose all the money down to 25.1k that way they will still make 100$ bonus on your monthly payment

[hearty rivet]

am i in a micro or a mini contracts @night flicker

im in 5 contracts

[rocky willow]

market closes in 30 mins bro bro

[hearty rivet]

im scalping i wont be in a trade for 30 min

just testing around

[night flicker]

1. I pay 74$
2. I get a simulated account with 25k
3. I need to make 1.5k before losing 1.5k AND trade 7 days.
4. they give me 25k real money funded account.
5. I turn it to 26.5k, if I lose 1.5k they kick me.. that is why they are doing the EVAL and seeing if I am consistent with my 7 days.
6. if I take it down to 25.1k they kick me.

[hearty rivet]

im up 50$ already

[rocky willow]

this is actually interesting... I might check it out but idk just my own principles makes me feel weird about using other's money

i feel like there's a catch lol

[night flicker]

micro

[hearty rivet]

just want to make sure im on right ticker so i can start charting, rn im using the charting i made for mini

[night flicker]

I don't actually mind.. they give me 100% of the first 25k so I might just leave them after the first 25k and either just fund my own account or go to a different and better prop firm

[hearty rivet]

i understand but suppose you entered all $25k in a position and price went down %50, you would techincally lose 12.5k$ and get kicked, but the company lost 12.5k just to let you trade for $74 a month. right?

[rocky willow]

yeah, i'd rather just use my own account

however appreciate the insight

[night flicker]

auto liquidation

[hearty rivet]

Ohhh

So they never lose their 25k

[night flicker]

yeah makes sense.. it is easier to use, I have a good risk management so yeah..

[night flicker]

yep.. only 1.5k

[hearty rivet]

Sick sick

[rocky willow]

fair enough lol

[hearty rivet]

Easy to be honest

Also guys

Market closes in less than an hour right

[night flicker]

oh also B, brokers here are shit with commissions so I trade through them, cutting the commissions and getting paid the same and as a bonus I don't risk more than 74$ a month lol

[hearty rivet]

But this is futures I should be able to trade 24/7 right? Isn’t that the whole point

[night flicker]

23/5

[hearty rivet]

Yeah

[night flicker]

if I am correct they close the market 1 hour a day to update everything or something like that

[hearty rivet]

So

Ohhh

So I can continue after an hour yeah?

Please say yes

[rocky willow]

that's 100% fair, i can definitely understand it from that perspective

[night flicker]

"with a daily maintenance period from 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. ET"

[hearty rivet]

Sick

[rocky willow]

commodity futures are perpetual?

[night flicker]

that was the main perspective actually lol

[night flicker]

yes

[hearty rivet]

Liitttttt

Basically there is no leverage on here also right

I buy 5 micro, 25$ each so 125$

And I can trade like that yeah?

[rocky willow]

Lol fair enough

[night flicker]

HUHHH?

NQ is x20 leverage, ES is x50 leverage.. every Micro is basically /10 that

[rocky willow]

you think mish came here for 1:1?

[night flicker]

so MNQ is x2 and MES is x5

[mild mesa]

^^

[night flicker]

exactly! I come from crypto gambling lol

[hearty rivet]

Sickkkk

[rocky willow]

1:10 MINIMUM baby

[hearty rivet]

Once I have this week of paper trading

[rocky willow]

don't wake me up for shit less

[hearty rivet]

Im Moving away from crypto

[night flicker]

I feel bad for the futures guys over here they are serious usually and we come and trash it

[rocky willow]

they're too serious

it's trading

it's supposed to be fun

otherwise you sincerely kill yourself

[hearty rivet]

I’m a pee

[night flicker]

*me entering a trade
*trade already at 50% TP
*me saying it will TP and going to shower
*CHART GOING BRRRRRRRRRR and I lose

[hearty rivet]

mish just a question

[hearty rivet]

lel

[night flicker]

yeah?

[hearty rivet]

so mini ES is 50x, mini NQ is 20x and micro is /10 than those right so micro es is 5x, and micro nq is 2?

also NQ price is $12,350, when i buy a micro nq im buying 12,350/100 so $12.3 per unit?

[night flicker]

yes

[hearty rivet]

sweet

so 1 unit is $12.3 for micro nq but since its 2x leverage so its $24.6 per unit?

beautiful, thanks man, appreciate the quick run through

[night flicker]

no you just get less contracts per same price

if you buy 1 BTC for 10$ and leverage it for x50 you get 50 BTC for essentially 500$, if you take 5 leverage you'll get 5 BTC essentially for the same 10$

the underlying contract amount is changing

[rocky willow]

"im ruined "

[rocky willow]

AHAHAHA

OH FUCK THAT'S BAD

i would've left that without sl too dont worry

you got scammed mish

[night flicker]

I was dancing in the shower knowing I'll get out with another 700$ lol

[hearty rivet]

im not sure, berlin told me about 0.25$ on average so i entered that to my TV

[rocky willow]

roughly, just for while you're paper trading

that's how ibkr's are structured but you can adjust for amp

[hearty rivet]

lol what

no fees?

[night flicker]

place it at 0.5$

it doesn't matter though.. you won't actually feel the fees

[hearty rivet]

really? sure

[left egret]

does that mean if it was opposite direction

my sl wouldve been 3x what i had?

that shit scary, i had a 16$ sl, it couldve slipped till 40$s

[night flicker]

I think its just TV fuckery

because it filled all orders and TV doesn't see that so they filled your paper on market price

[hearty rivet]

i dont think so because the candle closed really hard way way below my sl

[hearty rivet]

hmm

[night flicker]

see the candle on the 1s?

[hearty rivet]

@rocky willow my gf just came bro

[night flicker]

it means that all the orders in that candle were filled where as yours was filled at candle open

[hearty rivet]

imagine that shit was still one while im making out lmao

god loves me thank god

[hearty rivet]

oh okay

what about the wick up

it touched my sl and went down

well it was abit higher than that but

assuming so

no, futures, try AMP FUTURES

@night flicker hey man, why did this last red candle open way below its supposed to?

[night flicker]

youll get that a lot in futures, you'll usually see it as a small gap but on low volume hours you'll get the bigger

[hearty rivet]

oh ok

we can take a short from below the trendline

I'm chillin

✌🏼

[night flicker]

the file that you sent explains the Judas swing as well?

[dusty grove]

@night flicker this one?

[night flicker]

this one, or is it just basic ICT?

both are things that I am starting to get more familiar with, just want to know what to look for

sometimes just looking for the term like "Judas swing" on google won't get me the good stuff

[proven carbon]

have you had good success with that setup? only read about it but never took it

[dusty grove]

I have had great success with it, it does not pay out every day but I look for it on non news days and it's in my daily TA routine anyways so it's just another high prob setup that I use.

with ICT concepts it's not just price action it's also time, there are sessions of markets opening and closing. When they do there are these "killzones" which are times when high volume occurs and you want to be looking for setups. for me the judas swing refers to the 9:30 (NY time) - 9:45-9:50ish we look for the setup on that PDF.

ask yourself, if you could catch 5 handles a day how many contracts would you trade?

[night flicker]

do you also enter at those times or after that?

[proven carbon]

thanks for info man, mind dropping the link again to the setup? i think i have it saved somewehre but not sure.

[dusty grove]

I have a few "entry models" that I look for in any setup. the A+ model in this PDF is sufficient. I tend to use FVG entries breaker blocks entries or BOS and few other ways depending on conditions.

[night flicker]

thanks ❤️

[dusty grove]

a good read if anyone wants to learn entry models and other strats.

[minor garnet]

@dusty grove whatchu think abt this

[dusty grove]

cant tell much the pic is lacking a lot of info.

here's a breaker block model:

[minor garnet]

What i was trying to show was that on the run up alot of imbalances were made. So my guess is that we retrace to 3980 due to the fact of the imbalances, and theres also a sneaky imbalance down right at 3979. And the resistance at 4024-4026 is pretty heavy.

[dusty grove]

Ask yourself, if a high probability setup were to play out 1-4 times a week or 4-10 times a month and they paid out 3:1, would you have the discipline to just stick to the one strategy? 🤔

[dusty grove]

🤔

[hearty rivet]

Can I have a look at your pdf? Sounds interesting

[hearty rivet]

This one I guess?

[dusty grove]

I'm just sharing I didn't write that PDF it was written by /Luciusthe3rd

and if you're just starting to learn about order blocks and breaker blocks then its the perfect time to add this to your toolbox: #🆕new-indicators message

[dusty grove]

Maybe I can start sharing my screen in the am for the Judas swing and show you guys how I use lux algo for my TA and "paper" trades for educational purposes NOT for financial advise or signals. I could show my setup and explain how lux does a lot of the heavy lifting for me. Although I can't remember if that kind of thing is frowned upon around here, I would have to ask @severe charm and see if that's okay to do. ✌🏼

[rocky flicker]

Please share this chart template, Thanks!

[hearty rivet]

Sounds good friend. I love swing trades because, yes you stay risking longer, they tend to have good risk to reward and more than usually play out very well . Let us know when you will

[dusty grove]

how do I do that?

[rocky flicker]

copy paste the charts link and ensure this will be in sharing

[dusty grove]

Ah, I had my sharing off 😅

some general guidelines and tips that traders can use to develop their trading plan and setups for futures trading.

Analyze Market Conditions: Before trading, traders should analyze the current market conditions and identify potential opportunities and risks. They can use technical analysis tools such as charts, indicators, and price action to identify key levels, trends, and patterns.

Set Goals and Risk Management: Traders should set realistic trading goals and define their risk management strategy. They can use stop-loss orders, position sizing, and risk-reward ratios to manage their risk exposure and protect their capital.

Identify Trading Opportunities: Based on the market analysis and trading goals, traders can identify potential trading opportunities. They can use a variety of trading strategies such as trend following, mean reversion, breakout, and swing trading to capitalize on market movements.

Monitor News and Events: Traders should monitor the news and events that can affect the market, such as economic reports, central bank announcements, geopolitical tensions, and natural disasters. These events can create volatility and impact the price of futures contracts.

Use Trading Tools: Traders can use various trading tools such as trading platforms, charting software, and news feeds to stay informed and execute their trades efficiently. They can also use trading journals and performance metrics to track their progress and improve their trading skills.

Overall, developing a trading plan and setups for futures trading requires a combination of market analysis, risk management, trading strategies, and trading tools. Traders should continually refine their plan based on their experience, feedback, and performance. Additionally, traders should always be aware of the risks involved in futures trading and never risk more than they can afford to lose.

Looks like were gonna hit the 3980 point afterall!

[deep quest]

This morning's push higher was supported by a pullback in Treasury yields in response to the higher-than-expected weekly jobless claims.

Traders are concerned about a tighter labor market driving the Fed to keep raising rates, today's higher than expected initial claims reading provided a measure of hope that Friday's employment report will be on the softer side as well and prove to be a placating factor for the Fed. Forward to tomorrow morning...
