I just want to give a shoutout to this community and this lux algo coders man, we had a buy signal and a green candle but the very next candle went purple, it knew that was no good. then we get a buy signal and green candle and lux knew that was a good setup, I rode that B up to the chooch and got out, big thanks to everyone here and to the lux people

[warm coral]

Thank you, what settings do you use for price action concepts indicator and oscillators

[errant wave]

the oscilators are stock, I just combined the RSI and the stoch into one frame, then the advanced in it's own on the bottom

as for the price action indi, I didn't change anything I just added FVG, breaker blocks, trend lines, liquidity grabs, things like that

I personally don't have the premium/discount or accum/dist zones shown, but that's just me

[warm coral]

Thank you!

[errant wave]

my pleasure

[warm coral]

Sorry to bother you, Are you in EST or CST? I'm trying to locate the CHOCH where you took an exit and I can't find it

[barren lintel]

Its at 12:47 EST. Also looks like he may be default settings, no auto pilot

[errant wave]

I'm PST, and default settings

so Xclusive is right, that would be 12:47 EST

and don't be afraid to bother me, trading is extremely difficult, I've blown just as many funded accounts as the next guy, I'm happy to help where I can

I've only been here for 2 weeks or less, but I'm already dialing this thing in and getting it purring like a common rail Cummins

[warm coral]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your help. I was watching NQ as well so trying to review the opportunities I missed.

[errant wave]

what I have found as useful is having the 1m, 5m and 15m in the same layout if you can

[warm coral]

yeah, I've heard that a lot so which of the timeframes do you base your entry on? Heard to use the longer ones to confirm the trend

I still have a big issue with picking a timeframe

I'm relatively new here too

[errant wave]

personally I tried lux on the 1hr and it didn't fit my trading style, I trade micro futures and will hold for a move and exit, I don't swing trade personally

so the 1m, 5m and 15m I found work best, they each have important things to tell, all 3 time frames have the same sma's on them, 20, 50 and 200, and I keep track of fib pivot levels which are the dashed horizontal lines

that's my current layout

imporant areas on the 5m and 15m are the FVG's and orderblocks

[warm coral]

I like to hold for a move and exit as well so this is very helpful!

[errant wave]

I'm glad to hear it's helpful

ninja is my order entry platform, this is my other screen here

ETH is the blue VP with MP, RTH is the purple VP with MP, then I keep track of RTH VP on the 5m and pay attention to FVG's on the 1m and actuallly enter on the MNQ chart in the bottom corner

again, same SMA's through out, 20, 50 and 200

[warm coral]

Thank you, I use ninjatrader too though I have never done any analysis there

[errant wave]

I really enjoy ninja, but the thing about ninja is the base basic is not the best

it's a platform that is catered to the after market coder/developer

[wraith wharf]

NVDA taking NQ downtown lol

[errant wave]

my guy!

you don't show comission included?

[nimble vale]

Is there a way to do that on ninja?? I guess I could post from rhythmic

[errant wave]

yes absolutely

1 sec, it's very easy

[wraith wharf]

You can right click on each account -> edit account -> commissions settings

[nimble vale]

Nice! Thank you

[errant wave]

jeez

I was getting screenshots and circling

but you could just type it lmao

gg

[wraith wharf]

You can leave it

[errant wave]

you win this round Forseti

lol

[wraith wharf]

Some people are visual learners :p

[errant wave]

hehe

Quant is a smart guy

[blissful token]

is it best to use auto sensitvity for a 5min timeframe or keep it to what it says on the dash

[misty sundial]

ko'd over half a 100k eval in under a minute on the open 💀

What is LUC PA?

[barren lintel]

Think he meant LUX PA, which is the Lux Price Action Concepts

[hollow dawn]

Are most in here trading in funded accounts or personal accounts?

Sorry, just joined here today.

I'm in an Apex account and a personal cash account.

[low yoke]

Just wondering guys, the people who are using the OG strat on NinjaTrader, do you ready the charts in TV then soon as you get the entry, enter on NJ?

[low yoke]

APEX 👍🏻

[barren lintel]

Anyone here run the Quant Start on ES successfully? Whats the optimal tp/sl?

[chilly pelican]

im trading funded

[random sage]

Funded with apex

[low yoke]

I'm literally 3 trading days away from a 100k funded. 1 micro contract a day, open and close asap 😂

[low yoke]

Hey Quant! How do you manage multiple funded accounts on Ninja and use the strat on TV? Or have you linked them up

[nimble vale]

It’s all through a trade copier I bought from apex

[misty sundial]

https://tenor.com/view/jkscott-greenbaypackers-punter-punt-packers-gif-18933224

always my favorite to get one into punt mode lol

[proven rain]

what is tradeing group if i may ask

[random sage]

Run the clock mode 😂

[warm coral]

Hi, please what strategy/timeframe do you use for ES? Thank you

[low yoke]

100% run the clock 😂😂 I do have $20 over target for a punt mind lol

[low yoke]

Is this expensive?

[low yoke]

You can set up trading groups on tradovate but i cant seem to trade that group in trading view. So you can join multiple apex accounts and when you trade one account, it puts the same traded on all accounts

[proven rain]

oki

[random sage]

I bought replinkanto trade copier for like lifetime for like 150$

[nimble vale]

Yeah pretty much same price for the apex one you get two licenses for lifetime

[low yoke]

Thanks both

[low yoke]

OG off to a great start

[random sage]

og pays the bills

[ancient marsh]

OG will pass the test over the long run, its been proven many times

[low yoke]

Took profits at 1:3, went up to 1:7 🍩

[random sage]

this is what im rocking with

[night flicker]

Sean you always wait for Smart Trail to support direction right?

I want to trade without thinking much tiday might follow the strat

@random sage

[misty sundial]

100k eval completed ✅

[low yoke]

Congrats

[random sage]

you betcha

[misty sundial]

Sean's unite.

[night flicker]

also, is your ADX length 14?

[random sage]

[desert hinge]

Hello I want to try scalping BTC usdt using lixakgo premium, for those of you with good results Wich setup and timeframe do you recommend?

[night flicker]

#🚀crypto-chat

[forest canopy]

Every time I want to load the amazing quant strat it leaves things off so I have to look it up in the discord every time

[night flicker]

also, what did you put in the stop strategy if you don't mind

[forest canopy]

I want to be strict with myself and trade the quant strat only till I get my funded account back

[random sage]

the target for each is the previous tp, break even at 60 then 60 trailing stop

[long tapir]

What is this ?

[random sage]

my ninja trader atm

[night flicker]

like this for the second one?

[grim maple]

Could you share the parameters for the first one as well?

🙏🏻

[random sage]

i took it off it didnt really need to be there lol

[grim maple]

Thank you

ES right?

[random sage]

mnq

[grim maple]

Thank you

[forest canopy]

Do you know if the trading view automatically updates the scrips for people using the quant strat

[random sage]

if they come out with a new version u gotta remove the one u have(or keep it) and then add the new one

[forest canopy]

Is there somewhere we can constantly find the updated quant strat? Sorry for all the questions just getting locked it tired of getting to a funded account then blowing it smh

[random sage]

see id probably take this trade because there is room before it hits the smart trail

[random sage]

just ask

[forest canopy]

May I have link to new one please 😅

[night flicker]

so if its far from the smart trail you'll take it anyway?

[random sage]

idk thats what im thinking

[random sage]

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/dA5ugF73/

[night flicker]

I am slowly learning that VIX might be better for my VOLI strat

[forest canopy]

Thank gou*

[grim maple]

Yeah, thank you

😅

[forest canopy]

When you did the combines? You trades micros?

[night flicker]

I thought you said fuck you

[random sage]

yup always trade micros now easier to get a number i like

[forest canopy]

Yeah I saw what I had typed and was like well that doesn’t look nice so let me switch it real fast I guess I fat fingered my keys 😂

[forest canopy]

Hell yeah I guess this is where my struggle is. I have been only trading full contracts because I pass the combine quicker. But it obviously hasn’t been doing me good since I’ve blown two funded accounts now

[misty sundial]

i like doin minis on evals then mikes on the PA's at least til the padding builds up

[night flicker]

so close to a trade lol

VIX and VOLI correlation to SPY is -0.8

I will go with VIX signals and use VOLI for coonfirmation

[random sage]

slow and steady wins the race

[forest canopy]

When doing the combine any tips for when to just take my profit and walk? I have a 50k and a 150k I’m working on them I’m on step 2 in both rn

[random sage]

i have set numbers that i take it at or u can let it ride but make sure to lock in profits or trailing stop while be closer to knocking u out

[ancient marsh]

I like to figure my daily average gain if every trade is taken. Then if i have a trade and im above the avg daily gain of every trade taken, i quit for the day

[forest canopy]

I appreciate the help and tips. Losing two funded accounts is been a mental battle rn. So I’m really tryna just dial in and be strict till I have my funded account and have some cushion In there

Lux Algo community rocks can’t wait to share some success stories now

And I’m assuming you just trade MNQ? Or es too?

[night flicker]

well.. thats a bad day for the strat so far

[random sage]

yep :/

[night flicker]

maybe 40 ticks is not enough..

[random sage]

come on bsby

[arctic wolf]

how so? 2 wins 1 loss?

oh yeh i see... other way round

[random sage]

yea

W

[zenith crown]

@random sage I missed the market open entry and only took a small win

[random sage]

i jumped in right after at like 9:32

[arctic wolf]

if you want to do win or bust on an eval, all in at open is the way to go 🙂

[zenith crown]

wouldn't it be a bit riskier?

[random sage]

yeap

[zenith crown]

I often feel that market open is scam can go up and down within mins

[random sage]

oh ya super risky

[zenith crown]

ya unless you have setup like today

[night flicker]

damn missed this trake

@random sage if you would've taken the trades according to the rules wouldn't it be 2L 1W?

[arctic wolf]

@night flicker 2:2 score draw

[night flicker]

can you show me your chart? maybe I udnerstand the strat differently

[random sage]

yea that sounds about right if u woulda of entered at 7;30

9;30**

2/4

[night flicker]

ohhhh

sorry didn't look properly at the hours

[arctic wolf]

i got lucky at 11:09 at when i took the trade

didnt get stopped out luckily

[somber flame]

@arctic wolf please check pm

[night flicker]

the big red candle moved so fast it went out a few points under instead of BE

did you guys take the reverse?

when it exited we had a short signal

[random sage]

im in a short

[night flicker]

did it exit properly for you

in that long?

[random sage]

i didnt take the one it was too choppy

[night flicker]

yeah.. thought the same, thought also taking all the profit at the first target but wanted to see where it goes

instead of being in a small profit, I got a loss on that trade

I guess when colors go from purple to green to purple back and fourth, just skip the trade

[random sage]

need this trade to go then i can call it a day

[night flicker]

yeah I think so too

[random sage]

🙂

[night flicker]

good trade

[night flicker]

moved all the SL to the same price

[random sage]

aaand im done

[night flicker]

yead got out too, don't like the movement

got 3 new accounts only for the strat

[random sage]

for the og?

[night flicker]

bought it before that chop trade

[night flicker]

yeah, I take 12 contracts like you

lets see how it goes tomorrow

[random sage]

right on

[night flicker]

after they become PA, I'll get another 7 and run it on 10 different accounts

[zenith crown]

what account sizes are you guys doing @random sage @night flicker ?

I'm starting with just one 25k might add a few later on

[random sage]

25k PA

50kPA

2 50k evals

[night flicker]

doing 50k

use code SAVE90 for 90% discount

if you go for the 25k, just play a little with the TP and SL

I think go for 6 and then keep the first tp at 3, then 1, 1, 1

[zenith crown]

thanks for the advice! I'm pretty much doing the same as Sean 12 mnqs and 3,3,3,3

[night flicker]

for a 25k account it might be risky

btw @random sage you know why only 1 order is havign a trail sl and not all of them

after the first tp, it moves 2 SL to BE and 1 is following slowly

[zenith crown]

right is it 6 mnqs, same 40 tick SL and then 60, 90, 120 and 220?

[stable talon]

how you have 90% apex discount

[zenith crown]

would like to know that as well

[zenith crown]

when you apply it it gives 80% though

[stable talon]

lol

80% is expensive

[night flicker]

I think it gave me 90%

oh nvm it gave 80%

[zenith crown]

but was a good one thanks!

I think then I should buy 2 more 50k lol

just a few bucks

more

[stable talon]

still 80%

[zenith crown]

if I go for 50k it would make sense doing 12mnqs 3,3,3,3 @40tick SL?

[stable talon]

40tick is 10 points ?

[zenith crown]

yup

[stable talon]

ok

[zenith crown]

thanks Sean are you all acc sizes doing same 12 mnqs and same SL/TP settings? or do you half the 25k ones?

[vast cargo]

@night flicker Are you using Bulenox ? I see they have 80% off. Is it similar to Topstep.

[misty sundial]

bulenox is super chill but you have to get your accounts over drawdown for them to release the next one up, opposed to apex where they just release them all at once.

i grabbed like 11 bulenox's for $14.25 each

[vast cargo]

Is it 50k account? You mean i need to sign up for one funded account, and pass the rule, and then will be eligible for more accounts at the same time

[misty sundial]

ya those are 50k's, you can take as many evals as you want at a time, but the PA's go into a queue as you get the previous one passed drawdown

[vast cargo]

what are those EOD/SCALING OPTION.

150k ACCOUNT for $55

[vast cargo]

I guess, i can use NT8 to trade with Bulenox. Correct?

[misty sundial]

correct

i just run intraday trailing 50k's, the big discount is off right now but i just send these evals hard on the opening range break and get them done quick

they're cheap and reset if for $14.25 if i have a snafu

[random sage]

i double the 50k based on the 25k acc

[nimble vale]

What a day boys… passed another 7 300k accounts up to 9 total! Few more are within 500 dollars

[wintry bloom]

What do you mean by accounts?

[nimble vale]

I’m up to 9 funded accounts 2.7 million in funding from apex

You can have up to 20 going at once per household

[gloomy pewter]

bro,which strategy using?

[proven rain]

where how??? me Want

[autumn thistle]

Yea, what strategy are you using?

[nimble vale]

1 min but following the trend so

1. Establish trend
2. Take reversals out of the reversal zone using a divergence of some sort I’m using a rsi with the setting set to 8 take profit is back into the smart trail
3. Taking continuations off the smart trail with the trend ( even stronger if with a hidden divergence )

What I’ve worked out so far

[autumn thistle]

Very nice, sounds pretty straightforward

[nimble vale]

I like simple lol

Just gotta be patient

[autumn thistle]

Yes, simple is definitely best

[lone sable]

Think it's Bulenox

[gloomy pewter]

thanks man

[forest canopy]

Anyone trade globex session?

[wraith wharf]

Do you have an example picture of this?

[rose basin]

please help me how to get Take Profit price on alert

[nimble vale]

1. Defines trend = down
2. Price hits zone rsi giving divergence signals can take long ( if you don’t like counter trend then don’t take it )
3. Price nails trail take profit on long if taken… see rsi making hidden bearish ( could be known as complex divergence ) while price makes equal higher low on the trail enter short

The short to the right or shortly after the first red arrow would also be a very valid entry and turns out amazing also

Pretty sure others are using this set up i think one of our friends from the stock channel posted it first I just like divergences for confirmation

[tired plume]

interesting. how did you wind up with an RSI of 8? i've never budged off 14. 😉

[nimble vale]

Years and years of tinkering… haha know every indicator inside and out test every variable see what you like or most importantly what you can make work into your system

[gloomy pewter]

what rsi indicator do you use for divergence?

[nimble vale]

That one is a paid one from years ago but just the Tv one works

[gloomy pewter]

ok

[tired plume]

it's interesting, the lower variable seems to exaggerate the moves, makes it easier to see those extremes/reversals. i trade a reversal strat on the 1m too, will have to test it out.

[forest canopy]

What indicators do you have on?

RSI and the reversal zones?

[zenith crown]

Oh right so it’s gotta be 24 mnqs on 50k account?

[gritty crane]

Thanks for all your knowledge Senesi (Master) Quant

[random sage]

Yessir

[delicate yew]

Hello Guys, what is the best app to trade stocks?

I mostly trade crypto, but thinking to get some hang of stocks too.

Appreciate the support

[forest canopy]

How many did you trade during your combine?

Do you ever trade ETH?

Or mainly RTH

[random sage]

I have an eth chart but only trade 9:30-3

Combine is like 20 mnq

[random sage]

And i gave a profit goal that if i hit i stop for the day

[zenith crown]

@random sage I'm not very familiar with NT8's ATM especially the stop strategy settings. I'll take a look on their support documents. Meanwhile can I clarify if your stop strategy as shared yesterday is meant to:

1. TP1 (60 tick) for 3 contracts and rest are auto BE;
2. before TP2 the remaining contracts will auto trail (so if price moves 1 tick to 61 tick, the SL moves up 1 tick to 1 tick and so on) until all contracts get unloaded at TP2, TP3 and TP4?

[random sage]

Yea pretty much

[night flicker]

gm Roop, you need to see which one works in your country

[delicate yew]

Hey Mish, I don't know anyone. How's we bull?

I saw few ads coming on YT.

[night flicker]

I know they also give great data, let me give a look at the fees

what are yo u intending on trading

[night flicker]

the first red arrow isn't a divergence but I see the 2 trades, 1 the green arrow and another on the next smart trail touch (not the red arrow)

oh, so since the trend is down, you take that red arrow anyways

[zenith crown]

In case you’re still wondering, after reading NT8’s support docs, it’s the Profit Trigger. Since the 3rd and the last one are set up 90 and 120 ticks, it means that the Auto Trail will only be triggered once price reaches 90 ticks (for 3rd to start trailing) and 120 ticks (for the last one to start trailing).

[nimble vale]

Haha you are correct @night flicker my bad. Still would’ve and probably did take the short for the trail touch.

That’s why you get a cheat sheet 🙂

[random sage]

I dont want the stop loss to change until i can lock in profits from tp1, so thats why tp1 doenst have a stop loss

and the other tp's activate when the previous tp is hit

and auto break even at 60

[night flicker]

Ig I'll manually change it until I am sure, I will open a trade on a simulated one and will change it as you said

and will let you know how it foes

[night flicker]

yeah, what we want to do is that the stop loss will "chase" the price, so after it moves to BE, make it move to profit so that way if it falls another 30 ticks but not TP 1, it will take 30 ticks profit instead of 0

[night flicker]

the rule is pretty simple, highs are for bullish and lows are for bearish

but I think it is better to just watch the price and decide

I remember when I traded crypto I used RSI, Macd and another indicator divergences and waited for the small trend break

even when I got a "bullish" divergence I could've taken a short if the trend that broke was an up trend.. divergences many times just indicate a move so you can use the trend to decide.. breaks the trend? take a reversal, doesn't break the trend, take the continuation

[zenith crown]

Thanks for clarifying. Just wanna be more specific if I may, does your SL move up 60 ticks from the original -40 ticks (meaning +20 ticks from entry) after price reaches +60 ticks?

[zenith crown]

yeah definitely just open up a sim and try it out

[random sage]

it will start to trail by 60 ticks at the specific number

so when it hits 90 ticks the trail will be at 30 ticks and move up with the price

[zenith crown]

oh yes my bad just mentally mixed up

[random sage]

i always leave frequency to 1

fyi

[night flicker]

the VOLI strat lol

lol the dump ate all the profit

[cursive cosmos]

60 ticks does seem solid
autotrail kept getting stopped out at 40 ticks during morning momentum

[zenith crown]

anyone caught the opening? I'm still waiting on it switching to green

[random sage]

yawn

[forest canopy]

shorted before open at 80 sitting back now. (for mnq)

Really trying to be strict af till im funded and have a cushion built. the combine i am doing has scaling plan so i can only trade 3 micros rn but slow and steady wins the race!

[zenith crown]

what strat do you use?

what do you mean combine?

[forest canopy]

funded account challenge

[zenith crown]

right are you using also the quant strat?

[forest canopy]

just using the quant strat

i know it says 9:30 but the confluence for the short was A+ imo

going to just sim trade rest of today to get better familarized with it

[night flicker]

did you guys take this long?

[zenith crown]

i did

lets see how it goes baby

[night flicker]

I take every trade just to be consistent about the strat

[random sage]

bu buy buyy

[zenith crown]

yep

buy!!!

it's just probability playing out

[night flicker]

teasing target 1 lol

[zenith crown]

yepppp

lets go baby

[night flicker]

lol

bro...

[zenith crown]

yeah wth lol it needs to go up

[ancient marsh]

RTY screaming today

[zenith crown]

going up👀 ?

[grim maple]

Back to 550 I think

5 ticks away from TP 1

[night flicker]

yep, probably

[random sage]

pain

[night flicker]

but, it may keep going up anyways

while it fell, SPY kept going up..

[grim maple]

😯

[night flicker]

see the divergence at the end..

BUT its NQ against SPY.. so not much speical

theoratically, SPY does needd to go bach to the yellow line, but it did break the orange line already (not much) so I really want it to break the orange one

[grim maple]

These lines are important price points to you or Discount/Premium zones by Lux?

[zenith crown]

that's painful to watch

[random sage]

why couldnt this happen tomorrow when i gotta work

[zenith crown]

lets have some faith lol

see

[grim maple]

Hit TP but I closed 😂

[zenith crown]

that's what i said XD

[grim maple]

Fml 😂

[zenith crown]

gotta have faith

yeah

the composite man knows you

seeeeee

[grim maple]

Hit TP 2 didn’t it

[night flicker]

closed all

[grim maple]

Didn’t do the math

[night flicker]

and third

[zenith crown]

yep

[grim maple]

But looks like it

[zenith crown]

TP 3 coming

[grim maple]

Wait, what’s TP 3?

[night flicker]

it took 3 profits for me

closed before 4th.. not the best idea but meh

[zenith crown]

TP3 hit

[grim maple]

I only have 2 tick TPS

60-90?

[zenith crown]

I follow @random sage 60 90 120 220

my man

[grim maple]

Woah, can someone share their para tetera? 😯

[barren lintel]

wuttt how?

[grim maple]

Parameters* had a seizure

Lol

[zenith crown]

search @random sage he posted the parameters yesterday

[grim maple]

Will do

SL is 40 no?

[barren lintel]

He posted 3 of them though.

You doing that one?

[zenith crown]

yes 40 ticks SL

yep i'm all out now

all evals though

[night flicker]

will you enter if we get a signal here?

[night flicker]

how many contracts?

oh.. you entered the trade before the open right?

[zenith crown]

12 for 25k account 24 for 50k

[night flicker]

bro..

lol

[zenith crown]

no really lol

after candle is confirmed

[night flicker]

are they already PA accounts?

[zenith crown]

just MNQs

nah evals lol

[night flicker]

wait... 1 loss on 24 contracts will be only 200$?

am I calculating it correctly?

[zenith crown]

yep

[night flicker]

nono

it's 480$

[zenith crown]

not

wait

[night flicker]

on MNQ every tick is 0.5$.. so SL at 40 ticks is 20$

[zenith crown]

24 x 40 x $0.5

yes

[night flicker]

multiply by 24 its 480$

[zenith crown]

$480

[night flicker]

migh as well go for 24 contracts tomorrow as well

[night flicker]

something isn't adding up

how is the RR on the second TP is 0.5?

ohh

its risk / reward

sorry, had too much coffe today

[random sage]

Not enough;)

[zenith crown]

i reckon i gotta copy this lol

too lazy to press calculator lol

[zenith crown]

oh man thank you

i was typing up my spreadsheet hahah

[random sage]

hahaha

[zenith crown]

Have you gathered enough and stopped journaling?

[night flicker]

did anyone take this one?

I wanted to take it but skipped lol

I random short on a simulated because wanted to show to someone how the SL moves lol

[ancient marsh]

Not to late

[night flicker]

nah im done for the day.. got things to do lol

have a good day everyone, hope we have more Ws and thanks again to @random sage and @nimble vale

[zenith crown]

anyone took this one?

[random sage]

I did

Trading off trading view is a pain in my arse missed the last move in the car lol

Now im at swimming lessons for my daughter

[zenith crown]

niceeee me too

TP1 hit

oh lolll

how did you trade via tradingview? aren't you using ninjatrader?

[random sage]

W

I have a tradovate acct with apex

Also

For times like these

[zenith crown]

ohhhh right

yeah

just wondering since you have both which one you think is better NT or tradovate?

[random sage]

Ninja trader 100%

But trading view is so simple and when u have complicated orders like myself its a pain

And to do it on multiple accts is hard

Ninja trader is one click and bam copied to all my accts

[zenith crown]

righttttt yeah i think i feel the same

I came across apex like months ago. At that time apex didnt have tradovate.

So I started with NT.

[random sage]

Im just gonna have 2 tradovate and 18 rithmic is my plan lol

[zenith crown]

lol awesome man

are you gonna have 18 50k accounts or like quant lol 300k?

[grim maple]

That's insane, I can't pass my 100k eval yet lol y'all are insane

[random sage]

50k is enough to pay the bills and quit ur job so ya

10 contracts is massive all i need lol

[grim maple]

I was like 600 away last week and may 31st will forever be engraved in my soul

choppiest market i've seen since my days trading options

[zenith crown]

honestly yeah

i think the same lol

i think 50k acc is in the sweet spot

not very expensive and drawdown:profit ratio is quite nice

and 50k *20 is 1mil is more than enough

[random sage]

Even having one 25k can change ur life financially

[cobalt wave]

True

[zenith crown]

even if I trade forex a 1mil acc is already enough but of course I'd be trading higher TF like 5m or 15m

[zenith crown]

yep truly

call it a day lol

[random sage]

Hit the profit goal and walk away best feeling ever

[grim maple]

anyone tried quant strat in higher tf?

[random sage]

But then u have no excuse to not clean the house only downside lol

[zenith crown]

yeppppp cant say more

good sleep tonight for me for sure

would be better if they were PAs lol

[random sage]

Its gets the blood pumping for sure having a pa

[zenith crown]

I haven't but just consider indices move very differently outside its liquid sessions I would stick to using it only when market opens and major liquidity comes in

But if it's high enough like the hourly may be 4 hour then these probably dont matter

[zenith crown]

yeah and would be even crazier if it hits my first payout mark

I think they recently lower it to $500 threshold

but you still need 10 trading days

and request for withdrawal within specific time period to get the payout sooner or otherwise you fall into second batch

[random sage]

Ya so no rush just keep building it up, thats my plan then slowly increase my size of contracts

[zenith crown]

yeppppp just feel grateful to have you and @nimble vale on this

[random sage]

🫡

I personally think 50k is the perfect acct size

25 is great but 50 is money

[zenith crown]

ya

25k and 50k dont differ too much in terms of costs

but you get a double out of the increment of the costs coz you can place twice the contract size

[random sage]

But having that extra 6 contracts is huge depending how far u wanna go with this

I just got a 25k cuz i wanted to pass one 😂

[zenith crown]

you bought 25k first and then 50k?

yeah just imagine when you accrue like 10k already you probably wanna scale up lol

[random sage]

Yea exactly which can happen relatively quickly, I was thinking of getting one of each, then use my trade copier to ratio the traded and scale up, so each stop loss is like 1/10 of the amounts im aloud to lose

[zenith crown]

right yeah you managed to pass almost all right by now?

I remember you said having 2 50k evals and after today they are about to pass?

[random sage]

Both half way there

[zenith crown]

then we're the same hahah

[random sage]

Another W

Woo

[low yoke]

Just caught that last one for a quick quick scalp

[zenith crown]

gj guys

didnt take that one though

my bias is bullish

[low yoke]

That's me done for the day lol

Ive got a 100k account hit target and one day left to trade (tomorrow)

It's a static account though so need to be cautious with it

[zenith crown]

very nice

the apex one?

so how many contract you per trade just wondering?

always thought static account is hard to manage

[random sage]

nuts day today for the og strat

[errant wave]

chop city the past hour for lux man, absolute shit show

I keep forgetting the 20sma rule on the og strat

that's a good rule

[random sage]

50

[errant wave]

50sma?

[random sage]

yee

[errant wave]

oh damn, that explains a lot

[grim maple]

Anyone know why the shared strategy (TV link) would go green before my candle if it's the same setup only thing is that I've saved it

mine show purple when the strat is already green

even the dashboard data isn't the same

[barren lintel]

wut you talking about? Which strategy and wut do you mean the data isn't the same?

Screenshots?

[grim maple]

second one is my setup

first one is the strat shared, at 4:33pm it wasn't the same. one is purple the other is green

[arctic wolf]

candles mate innit

HA candles on the right

[grim maple]

lmao

thanks

[misty sundial]

divergence is life.

[low yoke]

Yea. Apex acc. Just fancied trying it lol

Calling all OG Strat traders... Just wondering do you wait for the candle to turn red/green to take the trade or take it as it happens? As long as it follows the confluences

[random sage]

Wait till it closes that colour u can get screwed

Or do whatever u want tbh but I personally wait till closes

Ive just seen it go to a colour i get in then it turns purple and sails away lol

Like today that happened to me i thought it turned red and went in the trade with like 1 sec left then it turned purple@and went the other waaay :/

[misty sundial]

nothin beats having an eval in punt mode lol

[stable talon]

What mins you use for chart

[nimble vale]

I use the 1 min for entries and just watch the 30-60 min for bigger levels @stable talon

[stable talon]

and just pre set for the signal indicator？

[zenith crown]

check this one out
#📈futures-stocks-chat message

@random sage wondering how would you take into account the trailing stop in the spreadsheet shared yesterday for profit/loss r:r calculation?

[stable talon]

thank you! So you guys looking at this chart?

[zenith crown]

Yes for me, I use MNQ chart coz that's what I'm trading with with this strategy

Also you might want to add higher TF like 15m and 1H/4H for confluence

When people say confluence, they mean price is delivering in a fractal manner.
At 1m TF the strat might give buy and sell entries BUT if you align with higher TF those might serve to filter out buys or sells (depending on higher TF bias)

For example 15m and hourly can be showing bullishness, if you enter on the 1m TF sell entry it is more likely some pullback before going up

[stable talon]

i see

thank you i can save this chart for myself ?

[wind rock]

came across this colorful useful order entry buttons for NT8 and free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvO8Gwx3Fh0&t=1152s

[random sage]

I dont lol

[misty sundial]

i like your style lol

[zenith crown]

yes make a copy and it's all yours hahaha

[low yoke]

Ah thats rough 🤦🏻‍♂️ ill wait until it closes. Thanks pal 😊

Appreciate everyones help in here and the creators of the OG start 👑

Ive had lux algo for nearly three months and only now properly using it and sticking to a strat. 100% worth it. Could be looking at 225k funding by the end of this week. After blowing 20 accounts. What ive learned with OG, dont interfere with the trade. It usually always plays out and hits target

😂

[zenith crown]

very nice happy to hear that lol are you doing 10 25k accs?

[low yoke]

No, 50k, 75k and a 100k static. Still using tradingview as i have a mac. When i make the switch to Ninja, ill be getting multiple 50ks. Get these funded and paying then ill think of it

Anyone have an A++ setup on the OG when they want to go safe? Ive been using the trend tracer for extra confluence. Works well. Saved me some bad trades when i back tested for 3 weeks

[night flicker]

@low yoke did you copy @random sage chart?

he wrote the rules on the side, it says to use smart trail

oh, you said trend tracer, trend tracer is only good to know when the trend starts to move and consolidate

if its flat... its consolidation, if it moves then the price will start / is moving

[low yoke]

Ah ok. Makes sense

[low yoke]

Always use the smart trail 👌🏻 thank you

[barren lintel]

@random sage @zenith crown
When using this stop strat, what are you setting as the custom strat parameters for SL and Profit? Or it doesn't matter?

[random sage]

Just the auto trail I havent even seen that other stuff before 😂

I sent them here the other day, im not home so i cant send me again

[zenith crown]

I didnt touch on those lol keep it simple XD

It's kinda like mmorpg where some might min-max some just dont, and I just dont XD

it probably takes a few more winning trades to get there compared to where if I spent time optimizing it even more but I wouldn't bother

[barren lintel]

oh my bad. i meant what to set for target 1 , 2, and 3. But i found a previous screenshot he posted.
Think ive got it now.

[cursive cosmos]

this is SeanClarke's screenshot?

[random sage]

Target one really doessnt need a stop loss cuz it activates as u sell it 😂

Idk why i put that

But that looks great man

[stable talon]

thanks

[cursive cosmos]

awesome ty lol

[night flicker]

welp... I took that

[zenith crown]

congrats lol i didnt

seems too violent

[barren lintel]

well thats 1 win so far

time to get some breakfast

lol

ill take it

[night flicker]

FUCK!!!!

it was on simulated

I tested the SL and TP before and didn't change to the apex acccount

[zenith crown]

lollll

oh man

[night flicker]

kill me lol

[random sage]

Quick w

Woo

[low yoke]

I caught that open as qwll

[grim maple]

Still holding

[random sage]

HOLDD

😂

[low yoke]

$29 short of my target to pass eval 😂

[grim maple]

Nah I’m out now 😂

I’m too chicken

[low yoke]

Savage open again lol

[nimble vale]

up to 11 now! lol

[night flicker]

another W

nice

[barren lintel]

damn missed that one

[low yoke]

Great work 😂 Animal like

[zenith crown]

How many contracts you've been trading lol

[nimble vale]

just 1

[barren lintel]

hard to work and watch the chart

[zenith crown]

and your TP and SL are 80 ticks?

[nimble vale]

thats on the og strat... this one i havnt dedicated a hard tp or sl as the trail moves... but the idea is to take profit on the trail touches or the reversal zone touches

[zenith crown]

right and the entry is also the same as the og strat?

[nimble vale]

nope sorry this i posted yesterday... still working on it a bit but its a variation of the smart trail strat

[zenith crown]

sorry my bad you meant this one?

[nimble vale]

yes

[zenith crown]

thanks! I'll study it

[random sage]

Yea wonder what a good exit strat would be, interesting to look into this, like maybe sell half at a certain number then sell the other half at the smart trail touch or when it turns to purple or hit’s the reversal zones

[ancient marsh]

NQ bounced at Thursdays npoc, good location

[arctic wolf]

To me the rsi going above/below (overbought/oversold) is quite consistent

magically lines up with reversal zone and trail touches

[night flicker]

@random sage didn't enter, do you think it would've been worth entering since we got a red dot 1 candle after it changed colors|?

guess not lol

[ancient marsh]

Buy signal fail into the trail, then immediate sell signal is a great setup

And opposite

[arctic wolf]

This aggie?

[ancient marsh]

Yes sir

It retested that 59-60, the nvpoc mentioned earlier

Thats where i exited

[wraith wharf]

We left the reversal zone, Id be careful on the trail touch. We also took the previous daily candle low

[ancient marsh]

I dont trade trail if opposing signal, so im not taking it

[wraith wharf]

Im not in any trade, but this is my thought on the process. We took Sell Side Liquidity from previous day low, Fair Value Gap showed on the 1 min, left Reversal Zone, could have entered in the FVG, setting SL to Lows and target reversal zone to the top. On the Oscillator showing buy momentum, it would be a 1:3 RR

Not sure how this will play out. we'll see

[ancient marsh]

I would at least scale at the trail, it has shown way to many times that there can be a reaction there

[wraith wharf]

Agreed

[ancient marsh]

Just my humble opinion

[wraith wharf]

Its to much of a down trend day. Doesnt look like its gonna work. Maybe in another life lol

[ancient marsh]

I think lows look good

Good location

[night flicker]

quick L

[wraith wharf]

You didnt take my trade idea did you

At least I hope not

[ancient marsh]

Hard for me to be interested in OG strat after a big down move

So far away from trail

[night flicker]

yeah and it was at a bottom, wanted to enter anyways

[ancient marsh]

Never know, many times it still works

[umbral junco]

Hello everyone - my friends, what is the best broker platform for trading futuers, oil, gold and commodities - in terms of safety, low commissions, speed of transferring amounts, and so on - and linking it in Trading View or BookMap
Please advise and thank you

[errant wave]

I don't know about any of those requirements you are asking about, but I use ninja

but I know a lot of pople use tradovate and link to TV

[night flicker]

the OG strat becomes a problem when it is hitting support / resistance

like today, 2 false trades

[ancient marsh]

No fill on that trail touch

[night flicker]

how many points you are taiking of trail touches?

[ancient marsh]

20

[zenith crown]

which two?

[ancient marsh]

To 30 depending on size of trail

Wider trail means more volatility , so usually use smaller size and hold little longer

[night flicker]

the smaller it is the longer you hold?

[zenith crown]

right... i don't like the market today after it fell off

seems unclear to me

[night flicker]

yep

I want to just follow the strat to see where it goes

it usually works good, the only problem is that opening trade that wasn't on the apex account

so those 2 trades ate all the profit

[ancient marsh]

Other way around

[night flicker]

and where do you set your sl?

and in general how do you know when to exit?

[zenith crown]

yeah and market tends to move more in the morning

[ancient marsh]

Edge of trail

5-7pt wide trail 20pt target, 7-12 or 13 25pt to 30pt target

[night flicker]

5-7 is the sl?

or just the first target?

[vast cargo]

Done for the day

[warm coral]

Thank you for posting this. How do you manage to keep holding while the price moves up and down on a day like this?

[vast cargo]

You have to trust your system and level with a proper risk management

[ancient marsh]

SL

I did take this trail touch long

[night flicker]

do you use other confluence other than trail touch?

[ancient marsh]

I want to make sure we had buy signal

Flat now

[random sage]

Has the trail touch been absolutely money today or what…

[night flicker]

damn so close to sl lol

and the og not so much lol

[ancient marsh]

I didnt get in until i saw the rejection

See my price

I usually have order waiting but not this time

[ancient marsh]

My 1st trail touch trade

[random sage]

Wheres your order right at the first shaded part?

And second in the middle?

[ancient marsh]

Close of the rejection bar that dipped into the trail

[random sage]

I’l probably make the trail my side hustle 😉

😂😂

I like the rr of it

[night flicker]

yeah thinking of doing it as well

[ancient marsh]

Thats the beauty

[night flicker]

think I will take 6 sl and 12 tp for small trail and 10 and 20 for wide trail

[ancient marsh]

Barely missed this one

Almost 70 point move down

Full disclosure, trail touch lost me money yesterday

[warm coral]

Thank you!

[ancient marsh]

Made it back today though

[night flicker]

whats your wr usually with it?

[ancient marsh]

Last 14 days has 3 losing days

I have other criteria i look for and am working on, but its a viable strat as well

[night flicker]

and did you take that short on the white candles?

[ancient marsh]

I do not go against signals

[warm coral]

Also, do you trade NQ and also use 15m TF as well

[night flicker]

so its more of a trend continuation

[ancient marsh]

But a buy signal into a trail that fails and then offers an og signal i usually take

[ancient marsh]

Hence why it lost in ydays chop

Not taking this one, usually just the 1st

[night flicker]

yeah makes sense

tanks, I will take a look at it tomorrow

[vast cargo]

Yes, sometimes I do trade NQ, but NQ seems to be too volatile, ES is a safe bet. Use Higher Timer frame for confluence, and trade with lower time frame like 3m, 5m.

[torpid yacht]

3

[random sage]

Maybe i should track the trail touch aswell…

If this message gets one thumbs up i will

Alright I will

[fair stag]

what does this volume mean?

[low yoke]

Hi all! Yesterday wasn't the best for OG, got stopped out a couple of times then it went where we needed to. Just curious how people managed yesterday? I seen @ancient marsh using the smart trail and that would have worked wonders with yesterdays market. Does anyone use any techniques to stay away from an OG entry? e.g if the entry confirmation is too far away from the smart trail?

[random sage]

That was the worst recorded day by far, Thats why u have a mental daily loss limit, but the og’s a chillies heel is support and resistance especially getting a signal, sometimes it breaks it sometimes it gets rejected instantly

[low yoke]

Ah ok so if the signal happens at a support level, it can get rejected like the trades yesterday

So Tuesday was Choppy and OG really smashed it, Are choppy markets the best for the OG?

[random sage]

Usually choppy is bad

[low yoke]

Ah 🤦🏻‍♂️

[random sage]

But from back tests just take em all and have a profit goal then stop

And a daily loss limit

U have a trailing drawdown of 2500 lets say I would max risk 250 per trade to make 500 or more

10% risk

[low yoke]

Just caught the open again, passed my 50k and another 100k. 5 days of trading 1 micro it is 😂

[low yoke]

Makes sense. Thanks Sean

[barren lintel]

anyone hopped in anything yet

[low yoke]

Only the open, passed my acounts and now calling it a day before i fuck up my paid acc lol

[vast cargo]

GM Everyone: ES Charts with level:

[ancient marsh]

👀

+20 trail touch

[tulip haven]

Played it!! Keep em coming

[vast cargo]

4290 Big level. Watch out

[night flicker]

took this long even though its kinda risky

that was nice, TP1 all and then trailing stop loss a few ticks aboce entry

@ancient marsh will you enter a long if it touches smart trail?

[ancient marsh]

I already did

Not now

[night flicker]

yeah the previous one

I entered paper, it exited at +20 as you said

[ancient marsh]

Nice

Was proper setup

[night flicker]

took 10 sl and 20 tp since it was a wide one

[ancient marsh]

I used 7pts

[night flicker]

isn't this one worth it as well?

[ancient marsh]

Im not going to long a short signal

[night flicker]

yeah the was the trail bottom, but I will make it auto enter 6 / 10 depending on the trail width and then change it, I am trading through NT

[night flicker]

oh so you only enter if the candles change colors and it gives OG signal

if its a sell into blue trail

[ancient marsh]

As long as its not to far from trail

[night flicker]

yeah, you usually don't enter on OG if its far from trail right?

[ancient marsh]

Yep

[night flicker]

did it increase your OG wr?

[ancient marsh]

It just a variation of the OG really, i just wait on a pullback

[night flicker]

makes sense

[ancient marsh]

An i know where i am wrong

[night flicker]

sounds nice, will give it a try

the question is though how do you decide whether its far or not? is it just something I'll need to learn? lol

[ancient marsh]

Now its to far for me

But doesnt mean it wont work, just not my risk tolerance

[tulip haven]

@vast cargo

[night flicker]

yep, entered but closed early when I understood it, not worth staying so took smaller loss

[vast cargo]

All my 3 upside target achieved. Good luck everyone. Trade safe

[ancient marsh]

Also close to reversal zone

[night flicker]

and on previous rejection lol

[ancient marsh]

Reversal doesnt always hold but it hold enough to watch it

[ancient marsh]

👀

[random sage]

Just missed it …

[ancient marsh]

Probably not the best but im takin it

+14

2R

The ones i usually dont like pay the best

Damn, theres the 20

[random sage]

Keep missing em 😂

Easy

[ancient marsh]

This a calid short if it touches

But im capped on profit for today

[night flicker]

damn missed this entry

[ancient marsh]

Color change negated it

[night flicker]

wasn't at home, just got home and saw the trade

[night flicker]

short term auto pilot?

[ancient marsh]

Mid

Just like OG

[night flicker]

didn't change for me

[ancient marsh]

Hmm

[night flicker]

is it the new version or the older one?

[ancient marsh]

Whichever this is

[night flicker]

its a newer one

ours i 6.0.1

yeah this one is different

I think they reversed some of algorithm to make it faster

when they moved to 6 they made it way too slow for many things

I had like 3 strats that were ruined by it.. lets see how they do with 6.0.2

[ancient marsh]

This one seems to work good enough for me

[night flicker]

oh nvm, its the same

can you screenshot the chart that you have?

[ancient marsh]

Buy signal into the trail i do not sell

Yip

[night flicker]

look at the entry here though

before buy and color change

[ancient marsh]

Mine was buy on the touch

B4 actually

[mental owl]

Where is the best place to trade futures mini

Platform

[night flicker]

OH

ffs

NQ and MNQ have small differences which makes the algo too different

[ancient marsh]

Yes that can be a problem also

But

You can always trade the nq chart, but the mnq contract

[night flicker]

yeah exactly my thought process lol

even though, since its a small sl, I think 1 NQ contract would be fine

[barren lintel]

MNQ prob going to be different as well because we just went into the June - Sep contract. This why I always use NQ1! for the TV chart

[frosty oracle]

someone else has problems with NinjaTrader? i get always Connection Lost

[barren lintel]

been fine for me so far today

[frosty oracle]

Connection lost to the NinjaTrader Historical Data Server ...

[night flicker]

OG strat taking hits lately..

think I will start filtering using @ancient marsh rule with the distance from the smart trail

[ancient marsh]

You watch the reversal zones?

[night flicker]

had some distance

supposed to take at least first TP

[ancient marsh]

3 minute still has sell signal and at its trail

Just something to watch, sometimes it reacts as well

If 1 minute has buy and 3 minute has sell, to me its saying likely chop

But today the news this morning made it a very strong day so we have to be cautious of trend continuing

[night flicker]

yeah.. I got wicked out and then it started moving

[ancient marsh]

Do you reenter?

[night flicker]

nah too late

welp I am done for today

[ancient marsh]

If still have buy signal and green bars , is reentry valid?

Maybe something that needs to be studied

[night flicker]

yeah, maybe something can keep us away from these types of trades

[hearty rivet]

[ancient marsh]

Stick to your setups

[random sage]

I plan on it 😇

[night flicker]

legend lol

[lunar shell]

I trade US30, with NAS you’re initial TP is 60 points (eg 14,500 - 14,560), correct?
Do you find that’s attainable most trades?

I ask because with US30 I trade 15 point profits , rarely 20. It seems when I’ve tried for more I’d get whipsawed far too often.
Further, with my 15 pt TP, I’ve got my SL at 50 which is way too inverse, but again, if the SL is 20-35 it stops out far too often.
Can you offer any guidance as I prefer Indices, too

[night flicker]

gn guys

[night flicker]

60 ticks not points

for NQ / ES a tick is 0.25 move, so 15 points that you take as TP thats the 60 ticks we take as profit

15 * 4

ok now gn

[lunar shell]

Thank u for that, so where’s y’all’s SL ?

[night flicker]

40 ticks, so 10 points

we usually do 4 TPs (I intend on changing that to 3) so it starts at 60 and jumps 30 ticks each time

and then for the last one Sean likes to do 220 ticks

[lunar shell]

So 45 beings y’all’s SL is 10 points. With US30 that’s would stop out almost every trade as it oscillates

[night flicker]

different ticker different rules, if you are using the same stup you'll need to find what works for that stock

for example if I would try that same setup on ES it would be impossible to catch 15 points each trade since it moves almost x2.5 less volatile

I intend on building a different strategy that works for less and more volatile tickes, so one that would work for ES and one that would work for NQ, with that you could use it as a reference for US30.. you can do the same here, if 10 points is too little, try giving it 15 sl or find out what causing the trade to not work

maybe those trades that stop you out aren't good to start with

[lunar shell]

Well, being at 50 points is far too inverse , but 20-35 points has decimated me. Heck a friend goes 100 points SL, which is even crazier risk

[night flicker]

well.. what time frame is he using?

in futures you want to take quick profits but not sure how it is with US30

[lunar shell]

1 minutes

[night flicker]

anyways, I am sure others will help you here.. I gtg to sleep

Tradovate is on U3 contracts, as is tradingview, and NT hasnt given the rollover from M3 yet lol pretty neat

[cloud cipher]

Just trying to catch up. I found a chart with some entry rules. Looks like we are using MNQ.
Am i right in gathering it’s entering 20 cons, -45 auto trailing SL, closing 10 at 75 ticks and the other 10 at 105 ticks?

[random sage]

smart trail touch is sexy, great RR the 25 tick stop loss is the average of all the loses btw

majority around like 20-27 ticks, couple were 35,40

[past jungle]

What news caused the gap up in indexes?

[ancient marsh]

Not sure mate

FOMO

It closed it already i believe

[past jungle]

Are my charts just trippin?? lol

[wraith wharf]

Contract switch. Trading View will fix it by next week. I recommend trading in the current contract till next week or some sort of volume shift

[past jungle]

Oooooo thank you

[cloud cipher]

Also truly asking @random sage - what’s the point of Rsi/adx? They can change red/green (the signals) minute by mjnute. How long are some of your runs? I would think after being in a few min the adx/Rsi wouldn’t even matter anymore? Isn’t the main thing the 50 and just entering on candle change and letting it ride?

Candle change - adx/Rsi all over the place though

[misty sundial]

Tradingview shifted to 3rd quarter chart, they're trading at different volume than the 2nd quarter chart

[cloud cipher]

So would this be a valid entry but a loss? Enter at close of 10.05 candle. Purple to green, Rsi and adx both up. 50k acct so first TP 75 ticks, sl 45?

[ancient marsh]

Im no expert, but i do not think you can expect the same results overnight as you would get during rth

[cloud cipher]

That was 10.05 am

I’m looking at entries from today

[ancient marsh]

Ok let me look

10.05 est?

Yeah thats a loss

[cloud cipher]

But the entry is proper?

Just making sure i understand the rules

Using this as the tick guide

[ancient marsh]

Seans strategy?

Looks like a legit entry to me

I am not sure how he trats the buy bar that breaks the red trail

To me thats a tricky scenario

[cloud cipher]

Looks like 3 losses and two full wins today 10a-3pto me. (I don’t usually trade prior to 10a)

1350 down
1800 up
Total +450

[zenith crown]

Is it the left side the original OG and right side the smart trail variation?

I have a feeling that the smart trail version is somewhat like what people do with SMC/ICT style of trading (trading off of those snd zones - and rather than a fixed zone the trailing is somewhat like an adaptive snd)

[cloud cipher]

I’m pretty sure it’s when smart trail is touched you enter

But yes to your question

Although i am a bit curious why so few entries as there are touches all the time…so i must be missing some entry requirement

[cloud cipher]

Why does this say 60 and 90 but the excel says 75/105?

[zenith crown]

I'm not sure I don't see touches and bounce off happening too often...

[cloud cipher]

Oh so it has to happen in one candle? Not just enter and exit

I get the OG instructions on the original shared chart. Would be nice to see instructions on these variations lol. So much chat in between - hard to follow 😂

[random sage]

I was running with 75/105 but it shoulda been 60/90

[cloud cipher]

Ah ok

@random sage could you provide insight on this please? #📈futures-stocks-chat message

[random sage]

The adx is the strength of the momentum so u always want that to be increasing and rsi is the direction of the momentum but i dont even look at it anymore just the adx

[cloud cipher]

So candle color flip, and adx increasing?

[random sage]

And above the 50 Sma

Or below

all the rules are there

[plain dove]

thanks, its tough to follow everything and what versions of the quant strat are used when you joined few weeks ago lol

[night flicker]

Are you taking 60 sl or 40?

[random sage]

40

[clear cedar]

#fire!

[cursive cosmos]

[errant wave]

good morning

[ancient marsh]

Look

As discussed yday, failed sell into the trail, buy sig pullback to trail

[cloud cipher]

Are you entering on buy sig candle close?

I only asked because the last candle that left the pullback (and verified the fail) was huge.

[ancient marsh]

I enter at trail

[ancient marsh]

We need a sacrificial lamb to buy up here so we can get a pullback

[low yoke]

Hell of a pump

[wraith wharf]

Unless you bought the breakout at open I'm not even going to touch this until I see some sort of market structure. I might just start my long weekend

[zenith crown]

yeah expecting some pullback

[ancient marsh]

Highly unlikely this will continue all day. We may get some good chop to trade when it finds a range

[barren lintel]

i haven't hopped in to anything yet either. I know the moment i do, shit will go sideways or reverse. lol

[low yoke]

Are you the lamb Aggie is looking for? 😂

[barren lintel]

probably

lol

[low yoke]

Would you smart trail trader buy if this hits this tests the trail?

Or wait for a OG signal first then the test of the trail?

Or is this too close to the reversal zone?

[wraith wharf]

Nice!
Missed it for being on the crapper

[ancient marsh]

Priorities my man

[barren lintel]

damn i missed as well

dealing with an outage at work
