many noticed that each FOMC meeting sends conclusions into the next one
and so on
although I understand not having enough data, from a business standpoint, it shows weakness
you cannot continue like this forever
to me, it only suggests that you adjust targets each month, and you are not sure you can keep up with previous month's objectives
not even Feds are what they used to be lol
Ive snagged a few quick scalps. Remaining patient
Im tell myself everyday, it only takes 1 trade to make the day, be patient and wait on it
This may be a good short, but to much risk for me
A failed buy/sell into the trail with rejection is a good setup
Plus im not a fan of shorting into the lows
Took this. will look for another setup later if it comes 👍
Maybe I'll look for another smart trail rejection
Or an og quant long
Great short
Question on PAC - I have not seen this that often there is nothing under the current bars. Any thoughts on what this means?
No support for this time frame maybe
Or order blocks available below
The circled part on my custom indicator telling me no trade yet, says chop

I am sitting at around 60%
Are they all manual or automated?
automated
.6 minutes per trade.. no way to manual take these
and thats after all the calculations
Thats what i figured
yep, did 750$ already today on 1 contract per trade.. that is nice
still running on pilot so we will see how it goes
Good stuff
got to 1k lol
NICE!
its funny how simple the strat is
The indicator is that bought or something that you built?
Yeah, keep your strat simple, and take your simple wins..
its a strat that I coded using footprint chart
yep, my main issue rn is that the RR is 1:1 so either I increase my WR or increase my RR.. I mean 60% is really nice since it's 20% clean profit but still when I manually backtested it was at 70% which is 40% clean profit
when it does on average 60 trades a day, those small percentages make big differences
Its just a ratio of the indexes with an A/D component
I like the long here on the trail touch
Will add if we get a buy signal
Flat +12
Would held longer but i dont like fading the lux sell signal
My indicator say buy though +500 or greater
I scalped that too I'm done for the day. good luck everyone
Same here , good work
You too 💯
Is this Tradestation or Tradovate? If its tradestation, would like to discuss more on it. Sent a Friend request.
Its NT
and you can discuss here, like to keep informative convos public, if needed we will move privately
Ok, I would like to see if any possibility to share it (using webhooks). I have not much info on NT, probably there is a option to test on paper (webhook) outside of NT.
This is one setup i like. Buy signal, green bars, smart trail all align, and my oscillator is positive
Flat +20
Thanks for the comment. Anyway I have blocked this guy so that I don't want to hear or see his/her BS.
😆
Don’t worry Angry @ancient marsh big timer is tearing it up showing his trades, great lesson in what not to do.
hey guys, im new to futures. Does Apex offer Demo trading?
Im showing the setups and the trades
Im not coming back at the end of the day and saying this was the setup and i did this or that
And im no big timer, just small time scalper trying to help others see simple trades
PAC THE KING
sorry not sharing this strat
Apple after the close, wouldnt be suprised if we find a range to rest until then
Failed buy signal into trail rejection with sell signal is another setup i use
This is it now
yoo
damn nice! if this was on minis wouldnt it be around $150 per day just for fees?
yeah, thats why it isn't on minis lol
the fees does hurt my profits a bit but not too much
Finished another 300k today!
forex?
Maybe i find something to avoid loss trades with Quant strat.
Price Action concept
NICE.....
Holy damn
Could you explain a little more please?
i can try 😄
You know the Quant Strat? i think so ...
In the Screenshot you can see that there would be an entry. I don´t take it because of the other Indicator (Price Action Concept) It was to close to the Order Block which says that there are a lot Buying potential and i was right i would lost the trade ...
Okay the ADX is minimal rising OKAY 😄 Maybe this could be a reason for me don´t entry there ...
Ok. I know about Quant, let me check the PAC and get if any questions.
hace resto que no hay un maldito Long hahha
I agree a price action addition would make it a certified killer, ( most losses are at S/R levels)
Just checking did @celest epoch add this to the indicator thinking it may be 'market structure'?
Anyone else who has the strat can send it over here or DM? Thanks

Here we shar...
- price above or below the 50 ma
- lux premium set to auto and mid term ( looking for candle color to match the direction of the 50 ) i.e green above red below
- using dynamo for my "momentum" confirmation. rsi above/below the 50 level with the adx rising
but i am using the adjust from Sean ... 60 TP and 45 SL 🙂
Here you can find the strat directly on TV 🙂 Thank you @random sage for that https://www.tradingview.com/chart/dA5ugF73/
I am using the LuxAlgo Price Action Concepts for that 🙂 i was able to avoid two losses with it yesterday 😄
what time frame did you put the PAC on? or leave on 1 minute
In the settings at "Timeframe" in the Indicator i am using "Chart"
And the chart is always at 1 minute
Thanks for that bro, but when i open the chart i get a blackscreen lol
Also could you show the settings for the individual indicators? i can't open them
Does anybody have a coupon code for apex?
You can copy it ... than you have it under your Layouts and can see the settings.
Another example for order Blocks 🙂
Can you open this one? @plain dove
this one worked yes, thanks man
thats the same strat as the link you send before?
basically yes but here is the price Action Concept also active
Qunat strat rules
i use the TP and SL from Sean ... 60 TP and 45 SL
Now i am a bit experimental with PAC
V-Stop Indicator only show the Volatility
What i mean with the PAC is the following (Example is from ES)
Point 1 would be an entry for the Quant Strat ... but you can see that there is at Point 2 there is an Order Block which as more power on Sell as on Buy... so i don´t took this trade.
I try to find some trades outside the regular trading because 9:30 am ET is for me 3:30 pm 🙂 So i have some time in the morning.
What i want to say is that i doge a loss trade with the PAC... this is of course not a 100% strat but i dogded yesterday 3 losses with it 🙂
If the Order Block support my direction i go in at Quant Strat entry ... if there is no Order Block nearly the entry i also go in 🙂
NQ Example
Point 1 is a great Entry Above is a Order Block which already reached and show me more Sell orders than Buy Orders.
Than the entry comes and it would be a win trade TP 60 reached.
Yeah i im in the same timezone as you are and i can't stay up all night. Thanks for your explanation. I will try this out 😄
15:30 would be the regular trading hour i think ... don´t trade directly at this time ... wait a few minutes 😄 let me know your results would be intresting for me 🙂 Thanks
what is best settings for 5min timeframe ?any suggestion for Nifty50 or Banknifty ?
is there a trick to getting live data from ninjatrader in tradingview. i'm just demo trading in ninja at the moment but tradingview is a few $ out.
Payrolls beat Est
I hate I missed the $14. I may sign up for 1 and wait until they offer another sell for more accounts. Thank you.
Anyone see the price action 1 minute before the news? Looks like they ran a bunch of stops prior.
@celest epoch or others .. how can I access this new Quantstrat indicator?
Read up there, that is a link for tradingview
@ancient marsh I clicked on link. it shows V-stop, Lux PAC and signals, dynamo indicators..doesn't show Quant strat indicator
Yes because the link is from me and I don’t use it XD you need to search the code from chud and copy it to TV.
Here you can find the code from chud
Fellas, I’m sorry. I just don’t feel well enough to sit in front of the computer the last few days. As soon as I’m feeling OK, I will make the link public.
Get well soon
Hope you feel better
Thanks buddy
Im not trusting this move up
Morning futures peeps ☀️
But im not shorting either, lol
13187 LVN nq
Happy Friday.
Happy Cinco de Mayo.
Is it too early for a shot?
Low volume node hit
See if rejects or blows through it
Blew through. I will take long pullbacks with signals today, no shorts until later...unless major change in direction
Never to early
NVPOC 13211 for NQ, next resistance
Well that was hit quickly
Somebody buy up here so we get a pullback
Interesting hanging right out that level 4132
How do you execute it?
No fill
I did not execute anything just stating that it was staying at that level per the box above
Understood. But i am asking about how does one make trades based on this chart. Im genuinely curious.
I bet this will bust higher 🐢
Anyone buying ?
I grabbed a couple points, but its right at an order block.
so not going to push it
Makes sense
Id like it to dip a little more
Smart trail hit, small long
13150
Will exit if trail broken
Flat +15
Not buying 2nd trail touch
Choppy action for now. Need a good volume to push higher of the purple box
Still getting familiar with PACs and am amazed at how it bounces between. Thanks everyone for the discussion recently on PAC
how you define these levels man? Thats the knowledge i need to learn
If you have position from 4132-4127 level or 4141 level, I would highly recommend to scale out around 4153 level. It could be volatile. Just my suggestion, you can decided to hold, up to you. If it holds 4153 level, we will see my upside labelled. Good luck @everyone, and trade safe
Hello, you have to spend many hours to know these levels. It comes with reading chart, price action. I am still learning, there is always room to learn new thing. Hope you are learning something from my charts.
Hello @everyone. Please thumbs up if you liked my charts and commentary. I do not want to post chart, and clogged up this room if there are not many interests.
Please keep Posting Chart with the Levels as you have done so far. It is really helpful to learn and understand.
Im done for the day. Ive been very cautious today and only grabbing a few points at a time.
Awesome!
That’s 1.5k on the day
Well done.
AAPL bigger than FED , driving markets rally when banks are failing 😂
Don't bother using the everyone tag man, it works only for the staff... It's not that members get the notification when you use it☝️
Amen
Hey someone from support ? How can I add tends like descending wedge?
hi , wanted to check if this is right group to ask question , I am not able to see Purple candles , I see light red - bright red and light green and bright green , did the indicator remove the purple color . I have removed the border for candle in setting and enabled color candles option . thanks in adavance .., if this is not the correct group please share where I can post this

There are no purple candles in PAC coloring... If you want them, you need to use Signals and Overlays coloring
thanks @umbral grove
What is best for close trade ?
- Take Profit 1
- Smart Trail
- Trend Catcher
- Smart Trail Extremity
?
Thank you all 18 thumbs up. Appreciate it. Will post my level tomorrow. Stay tuned
Post the levels before market open tomorrow plz. so we can mark our charts
Good morning everyone!!
🌞 Morning
A NQ pullback would be decent r:r for my to short into 13247-13240ish area
See if smart trail rejects
Nope
Nq nice bounce off fridays nvpoc
Retest to the smart trail and rejection so far
Buy side smart trail holding
Good morning everyone: ES Chart for today: Trade safe.
Thank You, J_SUS🙌 this will certainly help us to learn how not to trade on ranging market.
from your last chart I was able to draw a level using fib, and Found .05(4134.25) level, not accurate as yours 4136 but I think I am close to it. Will learn more and apply your education for sure. Thanks for your share
I wonder, would you trade the ranging zone?
if you get good rejection on the bot and top would you enter a reversal?
when your tp is on smart money tp
in footprint when you have on one side a normal number and on the other a 0, its called finished orders, meaning probably big tp / sl price
Im not shorting into a buy side smart trail
You can do a good scalping in the ranging zone. Yes, reversal or rejection play is ok, but you need to have more confluence. Many times you think it is a reversal and it turned to be a liquidity grab. But R/R is great with proper stop loss.
Anyone going long if the ADX picks up? Flat right now but bars green
Good spot for LOD
Im interested in long, would like a pullback to the trail and then another buy signal, perhaps
US30 bearish or bullish?
You tell us
Nq back inside opening balance
Will either reject or accept
Thank You 🙏
Will long NQ smart trail touch as long as bars stay green and no sell signal
Stop is a 1 minute close below trail
Started long 13300
May add lower, same stop below trail
Trail touched
I took stop -13
Idea was right, just one of those trades that didnt work
Just my analysis for anyone else
I have not done it but does anyone scalp the bounces between the PAC levels?
me? i try to avoid range like that at all costs. For me, trading the strong trend moves gives more edge. Not saying that it does't work; i just believe that you have to be more precise on your entries on ranges.
Thanks just watching it bounce many time was was wondering if anyone was making some $$ on it
You can do it. Paper trade on TV and see how it goes 🙂
maybe try premium/discound zones, maybe it will be better on ranges
Failed sell signal turned to buy signal after trail rejection is good setup for me
13359 NQ final target, fridays highs
That would make day 2 of 1 time framing up on the daily.
I have. Some times it works good. But its not reliable and wont give consistent gains imo.
Using smart trail as my trailing stop now
Anyone looking to buy or add back at smart trail touch?
Still watching/reviewing the smart trail touch
NQ still not 100pts range, i think we can still have range expansion
I will add back trail touch. I like because we have defined price where we are wrong
Let me know if have questions
Close enough, i exited long
Not buying this trail touch
May work but may also be top of range
Maybe was top of range
Caught it, lol
Fridays high of day order block imbalance stopped it
Not going to short this trail
Little to volatile for my risk tolerence
Despite the chop, the OG strat went 4/4 today
Woooo😜😜, i got 4/5 tho
That last long was questionable. yeah I agree, i usually don't take the longs when they rip 10 points in 1 candle
Still, it has proven week after week if thats the only trade you take youd make money
Yup got the full week off, definitely passing some evals
My problem is that I see it going up and try to get back in after the 20 point gain..
Cannot be happy with the 20 points.
Can take 2 contracts, scale 1 at the 20 points and hold the other one longer
FOMO is real, but you must learn to deal with it. There will be more setups later, just wait for next one.
Long idea ?
Is anybody using quantower as the platform with topstep?
What time zone? PST?
THIS!!!
Thanks
ET
Looking at the day, did anyone take the short at 15:31 other than just one red bar it looks legitimate using the quant strategy
I saw it, did not take it
I do not like trades this late in the day
Especially after news
Thanks answered my question
Also, i find the closer a trade is to the smart trail, the better
KAVAUSDT.P Can be close 0.8000 *Long ? @ancient marsh TF = 1 Hour
No idea what you are asking bro
Happening now ,but never really studied overnight
#🚀crypto-chat
Couple of fed speakers today
Hi,
Just got into LuxAlgo premium with TV Pro and CME realtime data. Trying to come up with a strategy for NQ/MNQ trading.
- Signals and overlay indicator 6.02
- 5 min
- No presets
- Smart Trail ON
- Trend Catcher ON
- Sensitivity: Short term
- Bullish exit and Bearish exit unchecked in Styles tab.
Tried setting up custom Alerts for both Short and Long with the following:
Long:
Buy signal
Smart trail UP
Trend catcher UP
Bear: Reverse of the above alert
The alerts combinations are not firing at all both on Long and Short. Is this is the correct way of identifying potential longs and shorts entries? Any idea why the alerts aren’t firing at all?
Please advise.
Since you are VIP, i would ask in the VIP channel and i bet a mod will help you
CPI tomorrow, maybe chop today. I will wait to see if we make a directional move. Opening inside yesterday and fridays range...
well.. probably you set it up that it sends an alert only when the conditions are met.. it means that you'll get an alert only when you get a buy signal when smart trail is going and trend catcher is going up, so maybe you had 2/3 conditions met OR you had a buy and a candle after the 2 / 1 other conditions are met so it would not trigger
Opening chop so far, still waiting
For the trades i want today, i am looking at 2 things. Can i engage at the trail with the correct signal. 2nd, when/ if we break opening balance do we get a failure of a signal into the trail and then a reversal signal.
Since overnight we dipped, i prefer longs this morning, but will take the shorts just with smaller size, bc who cares what i prefer, the market will do what it wants
Also, 1st area of resis maybe the 13315 zone for NQ, ydays naked poc
13274-13297 opening chop zone
Possible sell signal failure to a buy flip
Long on buy signal
Flat +12
Anyone else take that long signal??
Touched
Cautious on longs for me, seems rejection maybe at the 315 level
no.. was afk 😕
No FOMO we will have more setups
1st touch of trail after breakout...see if we get reaction
Small long, will exit if trail flips
Took -5 there
Good morning everyone ES Chart:
Not shorting this trail touch yet
Multiple times we tested lower and couldnt break lower
Is anyone going long if we do not reject the trail?
at the golden pocket too
I believe so
purple is POI (point of interest) where there was the least volume, white is COT (commitment of traders) with the most volume
I usually look at 30 seconds with this but I think it would work here as well, we get a squeeze and then a breakout, I like to wait for TOC / TOI change direction to know where to go
We have tested ydays value area low and point of control, my guess is ydays value high
329-350ish
NQ
Maybe we go nowhere until cpi tomorrow
support at 4133 (15m)
Looks to me like a valid want sell
looking at it again, the squeeze might not be strong though
quick one
(30 seconds chart)
might go up a little
oh
tpd lol
Got a quick quant sell and close, now I have to not sell again... and be greedy
wait for valid entry
this one was 4133 - 4133.5 and it rejected on 4134 which is close enough
NQ hit yday value area low
Smart trail short is valid entry for me, but will be small size
Unless buy signal prior to touch
Small short there
13288
Dont like it though, lol
Smart trail touch plus golden pocket =quick scalp
BE stop
It can either go or i wait for next trade
+13 flat
Shorting into lows not my favorite
The ones i dont like usually pay the best
So there is where I get hung up, looks like we got another quant sell signal. Does anyone take it?
Search quant in this groups lots of material
How do you have more than 1 sell signal? Share picture
Went red and signaled at 11:09 got the 20 point went back and had a few blue bars. Then at 11:53 RSI and ADX went back to the valid signal. So the question does anyone reenter
No
You reset and wait for entirely new setup
That may work, but is not "the strategy"
Thanks answered by question
Just watching
What signal are you looking for in regards to the 'breakdown' - touch smart trail?
Im not planning to short smart trail since we have a buy signal
Maybe if the buy signal fails and we get a short, i will be interested
I see thanks
Not taking the long into the trail either
Wait and see for me
Trail broke, now im looking to buy the trail if its still a buy signal
Obsessing here as in buy signal do you mean green bars or rsi/adx? Thanks
Im not watching rsi adx
I want the buy signal still valid and ill buy the trail
1st touch
L 284
I bought early
Trade safe. Need to break the box for upside/downside.
Flat -3 waiting for next signal
holy crap i got a lot of things to learn lolol
Will you take the next trail touch and sell?
Range hasnt been good so im probably done until tomorrow
But it is a valid short for me
Working
How did everyone do today? Me up a little
Og Quant did very good today
Nice
Such a beauty of Lux Algo. So many ways to trade:
@vast cargo do you mostly trade NQ? Today was my first day using premium Lux algo
Same here
Guys please suggest settings
what's wrong with autopilot settings? works great for me
go to luxalgo signals & overlays settings, from advanced settings tab, autopilot sensitivity and choose your preferred autopilot (short term, mid term, long term)
You been using them for a while with futures?
yeah, mostly DAX on 15min and 1hr
could somebody tell me what the diffence is between the bullish signals marked by the 2 red arrows which I added
is this right ?
If anything else needed please tell me
correct
Which is the most accurate ? Short- mid or long
and which time frame suits the best to the luxbot
i don't know. You have to find out which sensitivity works best on your strategy, i use midterm.
i think every tf works on lux
Just TP ?
and what timeframe ? 5m 15m 30m ?
@safe edge have you tried strategies pinned in stocks sections ? works well ?
depends, what tf would you like to use?
no i have my own
Trend day possible today after the market bought the news
Im going to be very cautious with shorts
NQ attempting to break range
Will we accept newer prices or reject
This one is a "Strong Buy"
https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo/signals
thx
too many lines for me lmao
Btfd
Green paper
green paper?
Money
moola
oh lmao
he been killing it playing with the smart trail
thats crazy man. congrats
need to step my game up
yeah I saw, he is doing great with the smart trail
I been funded since January, now working on new accounts since they allow 3 now
Look above and fail possible
are you still in the long?
Ggs
just need 3 more trading days
if you guys are using the footprint that I sent, you can see that when we see price + POI doing a free fall, once we get a cross on POI and TOC with a opposite color candle we can enter a small reversal trade
I take SL either TOC or TOI and take x1.5
it would usually go to x2 but I like to cut my profits shorts with these trades
thats the 30s candles so the trades are fast, here it was 53 ticks in 1,5 minutes.. did the same trade yesterday.. today I missed it was working on my automation
NQ 13259 the SOC
Scene of the crime, price when news event hit
Many times gets re auctioned
Does any of the premium indicators have BB's or is it only the 2 free indicators that have it?
what do you mean BB? why would you need a premium one?
Where can I see footprint? Is it a paid tool?
you have ninjatrader?
I was using bookmap for a bit and it was interesting
So thats its included in the premium one... I'm having trouble with the reaching the limit on the number of indicators I have on my TradingView account.
I don’t use ninja
ohh I see, try not over complicating it then, try seeing what is more important for your strat
Not taking this smart trail short, seems a bit volatile for me
Hey Aggie, I am a bit interested in your strat and how you use it, can you share a bit on your entries?
you have other applications but I use NT because it is easier to build starts on and it has a good free footprint indicator which is the one I am using
Yes. I am about to take son to get braces tightened then i will share all i look at
Basically, sell the trail if sell signal, buy it if still buy signal, and take where we are in regards to our range into consideration. If failed buy or sell signal into the trail then reversal signal, take it immediately for a scalp
Is this from the OrderFlowKit?
Phase 1 done ✅
Another OG win
not sure, its the one I sent
I used LIT (liquidity inducement theorem) strategy and in combination with Signals & Overlays indicators it confirms my entry's and it's insane 🎯🎯🎯
share some trades if you mind
Cool, anyway to share the layout for quick copy?
Sure just a sec..
Alright. Yeah i tried to get that to install but was unsuccesful.
Got it. Thanks.
how did you add them?
did you add the addons?
Yeah. But checking out the code in the editor, it seems im missing some other files. So I think i need to do an uninstall/reinstall.
yeah I think so
those are normal NT scripts so it doesn't find the path
go the refernces
in the code
and remove those
how long you been tradin for Mish?
I also don't have a strategy per say.
Not a clear one tbh.
a year or so
I just bought Luxalgo a week ago and I'm grateful for Patrick on YT showing me this service and I'm also grateful for the indicators introducing me to OB's and FVG's.
OB's and FVG's seem quite neat, tbh.
BB's too (if I can understand them 😁 )
are you using automated ones?
Through the LuxAlgo indicator yes. I sometimes also spot some FVG's that the indicator doesn't though
OG 3 for 3 today
OG meaning Quants?
Just to quiz a few knowledgeable folks on the OG Strat. Would anything have stopped you taking that signal at 10:02?
Damn. I keep forgetting about OG. You got in at 10:44?
I have not traded since open
To volatile for me
Looking at this possible trail touch
Sell signal, red bars, downward momentum
Small size though because trail is wider than usual
here you go everybody
no need to request access this time
my personal opinion, use this in conjunction with structure or when the market is trending
Short
I switch between NQ and ES.
So far NQ bounced off yday value area high, clear rejection so far of previous value
Thanks
the og strat is 12/13 this week lol
Lol
Can you tell me what is OG Strat?
oh can i ever
open that puppy up and it will show u everything, then just save the chart and keep it for yourself
Thank you, ☺️
Not buying this trail touch even though i like it. Sell signal still valid
this one?
wait are you NQ or ES?
Lux sell mode. Either trail touch or red candle below SMA now.
Here we gooo
Tough to short when not much follow thru
Wanted to share how buying or selling 1 contract can be profitable
Don't average, if your trade has to work, it will work.
use proper risk management
Yes sir
Risk management is the key
Today not yet a trend or directional day, just wide swings so need to be in and out of trades for me, quick scalps
May long this blue trail if we hold the buy signal
L 13351 stop 345
Breakeven in this chop
Failed buy signal into a sell signal possible
There you go
Powerful setup
Took profit early shorting into lows
Did anyone take that quant short? It was really fast..
Nice it was too quick for me.
C+ quant setup imo
lol, was it too fast or the PAC and reversal right there?
Anyone take the trail touch?
Under the 50MA ✅
Candle Color Flip to Red ✅
ADX Rising ❌
RSI Sloping Down ✅
I scalped it, but im about done with shorts unless we break lower
Again, the ones i dont "like" end up the best
lol I had a target of 13298, but the back and forth is whats keeping me being overly cautious. Trend Catcher and Tracer move, then go flat. dont like it
Agree this price action tough for me today
what about the first 2hrs since CPI release at 08:30?
Please thumbs up who all played the blue box :
I want you guys to take benefit of my chart otherwise I am wasting my time to post chart here.
I did not play it but appreciate your charts
Missed it went out to get a coffee
Well, that was fun ✌🏽 stay nimble scalpers. . .
Nice one
It was tough for me as well, but i only traded the open nothing else
Tell us why you took that trade please
I like this OG long
Took TP for me 🙂
4/4
Im just going to move my stop up to bottom of each close of the bar see if i get extra
Confluence, all my indicators were showing me more room to the downside and I scalped it. ✌🏽
No one active in here should have difficulty being funded with this strat. stick to the plan 👍
@night flicker #💰share-profits message today's gamble 
Im sorry papu
I'll rollbit 1000x next time 


Ye boi
how is it?
dms
sure
Whats Akers?
Anyone going to go long on the touch?
Arent you tired of making money yet?
I did not do much today in the morning due to the volatility. Also missed some ran out etc.
You using default settings? Also is this 1m or doesn't matter?
normal settings
and didn't check on 1m
I just like to quick scalp but I think it has the same basis
I'll take a look at 1m tomorrow maybe
Btfd
Yall seen those videos right?
Best advice since the 2008/2009 market correction.
DYODD this is just entertainment.
are you familiar with some of the footprint general concepts?:
Honestly, no, this is new to me
Good stuff. Understanding foot print adds more confluence to the trade. We can see where the orders get absorbed by sellers/buyer. You can see this inside the candle. Volume profile is another powerful tool to use. Always learn new thing.
yep, theres also footprint VP
What platform do you use for the footprints @night flicker
Does anybody use quantower to trade with Topstep?
hello everyone , i am newbie, can i ask , which is best indicators for future ?
Vwap
NinjaTrader
Premarket , pre PPI , OJ strat , not sure there is enough momentum though
Just watching
OG strat is now OJ strat, because its killer
Yeah I forgot about PPI. I hopped in a long at 13405, which is also a FVG on the daily. But hopped back out once I remembered PPI.
Hopefully you got some profit
yeah, got out at 13418
news causes crazy ish to happen. Price can easily move 100+ pts in either direction
so just going to kick back for now
maybe make some breakfast
OJ strat winner
what can we use in conjunction with order blocks for entries?
Signals??
Right, I forgot about that indicator... I usually have it turned off because of it being kind of late, but I guess late and confirmed is better than jumping the gun!
Possibly, but could also try the different auto sens settings .... maybe will give earlier signal
Looks like a slow motion bounce off the trail - did not take it -- and it did not bounce and went thru it
Looks like liquidity grabs @prime ice
Small thread on some interesting things, it is still in research but if you are interested you can try and look at it live today to see if it works for you (I will send the possible trades for the day if I catch them, it would be my first day of looking at this strat live).
The needed charts (all RTH):
- Quant OG strat on 15 seconds.
- NQ 1 minute with the footprint I sent and enable POI and TOC lines (tick all first check marks)
- $TICK chart with lines at: 1400, 1000, 800, 600, 0, -600, -800, -1000, -1400
Explanation:
- Will show us the momentum on the small timeframe to use for possible exits / entries.
- Will be the actual entry signal while using the 2 others as confluence.
- This chart shows how many stocks ticked up / down in NYSE, if its negative it means more ticked down, if its positive it means more ticked up. the lines show over bought / sold with strengths.
Yesterday open:
- Opened on a up gap, turning candles to green and giving strong buy.
- nothing yet.
- opened above 1400, meaning we are supposed to see a down move (like over over sold).
4:45 minutes after open:
- ADX started going down after RSI has been going down for a bit.
- at 8 minutes after we see it break POI support.
- at 8 minutes after open still hasn't broke the 0 line so we may keep going down.
SHORT ENTRY, SL and previous candle POI (70 ticks)
13 minutes after open:
- RSI starts going up after being in over-sold.
- BIG down wick and closing flat candle.
- Went above 0 line,
CLOSE short with 230 ticks profit.
This is a bit long I will sent all screen shots soon but we got another trade at 15 minutes after open closing 36 minutes after open with another 280 ticks profit.
Thats 510 ticks on NQ in the first 40 minutes of the market.
Keep in mind that its fast trades so its a bit harder to trade and yesterday was a volatile day so dont expect these results every day
- $TICK chart with lines at: 1400, 1000, 800, 600, 0, -600, -800, -1000, -1400
Also on 1 minute?
15 seconds
so here you would look for a long
it would probably move down a bit first
Anyone struggling connecting to their apex rithmic account?
Also what is interesting about this strat is, when $TICK is opening at or above / under 1400 / -1400 it would move first in that direction before reversing on us
also, keep in mind that all of the charts won't necessarily show us the same thing so we won't enter even though it seems likea great entry
OJ strat 1 for 1 although to early for me
What price you in at?
didn't enter since as I said it would be the first day for me to live watch this
Nope. Whats happening?
I would usually wait for POI and TOC to cross before entering but it seemed really good entry
Understood thanks for sharing
13391.25 entry SL at 13378
My rules do not allow long into trail
different strat different rules
the trades isn't an A trade anyways, if it were to be live trading I would've skipped this one
Just stuck at connecting to rithmic pro and through ninjatrader, quick check on Twitter suggests its happening to a few people
testing the limits of the strat and the flexibility
How to determine exit ?
watch ADX and RSI on 15 seconds
I mean.. Dynamo but my ADX is on 8 length to make it faster
yep and a close might be soon
ADX moved a bit down but not enough and RSI did not move down at all
yeah so a close
at the 15 sec candle open
1R trade?
Yday was great big moves
if you really want, you can may want to take x1.5 everytime, it would also work
so now it would've been 80 ticks if x1.5 or 67 where I said to exit
so now a possible short
Possible trail rejection
said a bit in delay
so entry t 13394
SL 13406.5
if you guys need me to share the reasoning lmk
at x1.5 exit already with 75 ticks profit
and exit
thats a possible long, and it would be really nice
but would skip anyways
thats why
oh and this candle open would've been a long
oh wait no
TICK didn't go low enough
first 30 minutes of market and already this strat at 150 ticks profit (750$ per contract)
I wouldn't ride this strat for all day, just the open volatility
Why wouldnt you trade it all day if it had the volatility and tick requirements were met?
Well you can if its volatile enough, but you'll need to look out for consolidation and stuff
maybe when I get more used to the strat I might do it for more than just the opening but for now I need to get more used to it to do more trades with it along the day
My lower indicator positive with no upside movement, careful longs if it flips
Not shorting trail here due to buy signal
Waiting for buy signal failure to sell signal
Short
But cautious of range bound
Small size
Do you consider 10:16 a trail rejection - did not close when it touched
Looks like rejection to mw
Wick into the trail
And 30 pt drop
Did not take trail touch per Lux buy signal - small SL on strat
I took -15 stop also
Tricky area
another great trade with the same strat
and we had a short but I would've skiped it
@ancient marsh the normal RR is higher than x1.5 so its better
Great!
you can combine some of the ideas from this strat with your strat and you might get faster and better entries
not familiar much with your strat so not sure, but if you want look into it
I will thank you
and thats the one that I skipped
Ok we just had a quant strategy fail due to a trailing touch.....
np, feel free to ask me anything if you have some questions
Have to work these two together
We had failed buy into trail with rejection then sell signal
Out b/e not liking PA atm
today has too much downward momentum, $Tick almost never really broke 0 line
and a long regardless lmao
(previous 1 min candle was entry)
Out b/e on strat again. Not trying to jam my SL up every time but no signs of continuation either way atm.
Smart
What is the indicator if you don't mind and how do you use it?
Missed trail touch limit order by 1 tick lol
I missed it also lol
Looks like it may head back for a touch
I was incorrect - we have a runner
Could see another bounce at 13425
Will anyone try another touch if goes back to the trail?
Not sure now. Got a near miss at 423 on wick down - not going to front run too much or FOMO into it.
Market isnt always perfect on the entries but you had the right idea for it
Exactly. I market in on OG but limit on trail touches. If it misses then move on for me.
Sorry what does OG and OJ actually stand for
Because the strat is killing it
lol
yo @celest epoch @random sage where have you guys been?
not feeling well @night flicker
damn, get well and come back
Chilling lol
For those that took the touch of the trails today, I realize that it is subjective but when do you typically get out 20 points PAC etc?
$TICK got rejected on -800, so might go up for a bit
Get well soon
yep.. and it got rejected and dropped
anybody uses FVG area to trade.
BROO $TICK IS FUCKING CRAZY
and I look at the 30s chart with TICK
and you say I don't gamble
Es going to mars
can you post /ES Chart Please ?
Nice little bear flag and strong hold on support at trail, took the breakout for TP
Nice win
Paper trading but working on it 🙂
where the fair value area forseti?
I didnt use any fair value area, I took the breakout of the bear flag to target the previous high
Sorry, for all of the questions just wanted to pick everyone's brains - I saw 4 touches over the past hour. Any advice on why ones to pick, I cannot watch the screen all of the time. Or a some point just wait for some signals the other way
Unfortunately you gotta be watching for the setups, trail touches can be used for good scalps in my opinion, for like 5-10 points
Thanks over the past hour so you pick any ones that are 'better' or just take them a they come.
I have not take any trail touch. I will not take the trail if opposing signal
I mean everyone is different, I use it in conjunction with Order Blocks, Breaker blocks, and other areas of support and resistance. I would keep my SL small as well, Aggie does it differently than me
Same. My theory is to take them all for 5-10 W's until it fails but unfortunately Lux sell signal was in effect.
Taking the long after fail signals though, tight stops
thanks everyone
Just scalps, once it goes in my direction i move stop up to little below last closed bar
Only got 6 points on that one
what strat is that, looks interesting. 🤔
Thanks
Looks like it wants to break in either direction - any thoughts? Or just chop?
damnit was stuck in a meeting so didn't catch the trail touch
Looks like its rollin over and selling off
lol too bad this is only a micro
Would be interesting we we get all the way back to that trail and sell off again
I got some buy signal hope it works for you
I definitely cld be wrong here
Me too! That's the beauty of it all 😂
im in
What was your buy signal?
i may have got out too early, but ill take my 5pts
5 better than -5
facts
10-13 points is a pretty good target for smart trail plays I've found. And it has a high hit rate
@prime ice
Are you guys just trading off of smart trail reversals? @ancient marsh
No
OJ winner winner chicken dinner
I marked it at the 2:37 candle since the ADX was low on the 2:34 candle. thoughts on taking the 2:34 candle and why? Either way they both win but just curious your stance
Tbh, i dont watch rsi or adx anymore
So maybe it wasnt og
I marked 2:37 as well since that was the ADX rising. However, after watching it today. I was thinking to the first green bar as the actual calculation for the exit. So for this, I used 2:34 pm and 13,434 + 20 as the exit. Trying to play it safe
No ema either
Lol
Started out with 15pt loss
Bounced back pretty good
nice
Maybe, stop below 50MA if you want to try it , kinda weak signal
And we seem to be in consolidation
looks to be headed to the trail
They just want to end the day back to where we started, closing around 13424 would be hilarious
Lets break it down lol
here you go
Dont jinx it
How many times is this going to get posted here
good to see people are using MI now, i was talking about them over a year ago and people just meme'd and thought i was trolling, at least someone is using actual core data now to see market moves
lol.....
what MI stands for?
Thanks everyone for answers all of the questions

thanks I'll look into it when I get the time
I think that we had 6 quant wins and 1 loss today
damn we gonna make some new highs after hours?
@random sage Please confirm 😅
Lol
This looks more correct
What indicators from lux algo do you use for scalping ?
gm, how are you @barren lintel
doing good man, how are you?
New highs made overnight, high odds we revisit during RTH
OJ not so much but looks like PM trail touch quick scalps are the way to go.
Noticed that
tick opened near 1000, expect price to go up then down
you guys want me to share the trades like yday?
so far so good
good start of the day
skipped this short because TICK was stuck above the 0 line for a while
would've been great lol
and missed this long.. damn
Anyone's NT/Rithmic glitching on them??
a little, I enter a trade but the entry shows up in delay.. nothing special tho
Yeah I got major delay and phantom orders...
Yeah mine wouldn't let me exit a trade and now I can't connect lol
yeah.. maybe I'll end the day here then.. don't want it to glitch on me especially since my trades are very quick
if any of you want me to keep sending my possible entries according to the new strat, lmk
hmm i had some phantom orders early this morning.
Would assume there would be some delays right now with this PA
OG 2 for 2
That's f'ed up. Luckily I was able to get out green and they were going in the right direction.
I had to flatten my account, same shit I had yesterday where everything stopped working and couldnt reconnect
Looks like I closed out in profit tho
The crazy thing is, I wasn't in any trades. But NT was showing i had 2 contracts in nq, was like wtf. Closed/restarted and everything seemed fine after that
I was in NQ short couldn't excute it so did in apex website to exit
oh damn, yeah theres def a delay. Seems to be about 3 - 5 seconds
I switched NT to sim just in case
This sucks right when the news dropped haha
so that strat is called "WingingIt2000"
You guys rock! Futures chat For The Win!
I mean sorry to hear about the market data but the call outs and strats
I'll take most of the credit if you don't mind
I just woke up, there's always more setups, than just market open, I've been to other Algo discords and theyre nothing like this where everyone helps each other out
yeah most of the other servers that I saw are not much good lmao
GM Everyone: ES Chart
It's dropping like it's hott.
I was out and missed all of the fun
Updated ES chart
why i have difference singal than you
on 15 mins chart
im shorting the pb on CL
Long fsil at trail to short signal
You are looking at MES, my chart is ES
This is with MES chart, does it look similar to your:
I guess both looks similar
We broke the box
oh yeah the signal appear on the same bar
Scalped it
same
im including the smart trail in my setups now, this is an example of a trade that has everything ticked off, but that smart trail is a brick wall sometimes and LOVES to bounce of it
Hard rule of mine
Dont trade into trail, wait for next trade
Miss a few winners but saves me more often i think
Trail touch
Break
Now give us long
OJ short
Took the break of the Trail and Sell signal active. This is paper trading
2 ticks from tp lol
Hate shorting lows
Will wait for long
So itll probably be a good winner
My two target achieved. Hope some of you followed my chart
If not, I am happy with my trade
Correction to the above post: Working on 2nd target:
TP hit! Not a bad trade 🙂
OJ winner
Is anyone getting reading for a potential trail bounce?
Missed the trail
Look at ES just tank with the circular barplots, close to zero on the circles
Wtf
YUP
its neat
when the closer the circle bar plots completes the 360, the bullish it gets.
heres DXY
all circle bands close to full 360 plots, so bullish
what is this plot? lol
