@noble oak thanks for sharing that, wondering how would you set SL and TP?

I’m using the OG strat in pretty much the same way except I’m trading 15m as environment and 1m as execution

[lost lava]

bro Can we get notification on the first strong low formation?

[lost lava]

I want to enter the transaction at the exact place that makes the wick and exit the transaction at the highest point, how can I do this?

[night flicker]

no because it doesn't know instantly that a low is created

[lost lava]

this alert

subject

[night flicker]

If its not the premium indicator it probably repaints

[night flicker]

What you can do though, create an alert when price is near the order block, see how it reacts and decide whether to enter or not

If its a small TF you can also look at a HTF and use that as confluence.. if you are using the matrix indicator it can help you a lot

HTF matrix = trade direction
LTF order blocks = trade entry

[lost lava]

can you show an example chart and process please i pray for you

[lost lava]

I really need an effective strategy I want to set a strategy

Do you think btc will go short or long? 4 hours

[copper tiger]

short

then retesting 31k

[lost lava]

31k short after take profit in short?

[copper tiger]

no if it breaks 31k

dont short

31k is a major support

[lost lava]

yes i understand

[copper tiger]

Either wait until BTC dumps in the 29K range, then buy long

[lost lava]

but if it goes short, where do you see the profit taking zone?

[copper tiger]

29K range

28, aint happening, since 29k also has good support

[night flicker]

You are trading crypto right?

[night flicker]

NQ isn't volatile enough on open

[azure shell]

textbook

volatility is nuts though

[random sage]

I GOT STOPPED OUT

oops caps lol

[azure shell]

careful of getting whiplashed

news this morning right?

[random sage]

10am

[gentle briar]

Yesterday?

[plain dove]

JP is testifying again today, same time

[azure shell]

what a crazy move 100 pts rippin

[random sage]

man my days are so off

[night flicker]

so.. today we dumping?

[low yoke]

Ive had to add in to my rules not to trade the open for 30 mins, it really brings the demons out on me if i lose the first trade 🤦🏻‍♂️

[random sage]

hahah mind like a goldfish

[night flicker]

I mean, the first 30 minutes can be nice.. not when its vbolatile like today.. you'll get wicked out

[low yoke]

100%, i tend to revenge trade with a wicked out trade as well

dont need it in my life lol

Missed that trail touch 🤦🏻‍♂️

[random sage]

😜

[azure shell]

https://tenor.com/view/move-marketmove-mm-trending-print-gif-25238306

[ancient marsh]

I didnt take it either, to early for me

But wow

[random sage]

set my limit got filled perfectly didnt even go red

[ancient marsh]

Love it

[random sage]

biggest bounce i have ever saw

[low yoke]

fair play

[ancient marsh]

8pt risk not bad either

[low yoke]

what a trade to get

[ancient marsh]

Maybe instead of time restraint i need to study width of the trail more

Usually dont trade early bc wide trail to much risk

But this one wasnt wide

= trendin

[low yoke]

we fancying another touch off the trail?

[lost lava]

Can you suggest me the most effective best strategy in futures trading?

[ancient marsh]

ES hit yday NPOC, could very well react

[ancient marsh]

Buy low, sell high

[lost lava]

yes

bro

[ancient marsh]

For real though, read up, many strategies that work over the long run

[lean fiber]

Don't short the hole, or long the ride up. Be patient and slap good entries and set those stops!

[ancient marsh]

Let you winners run and cut your losers

[lost lava]

I really don't know if you can show it by sharing screenshots. I would like to learn from you. I know how to make an action, but I want to determine a new strategy thanks to you.

[ancient marsh]

Read these

[lost lava]

for example i use trading view pro. will the alarms work what alarms should i set

[lean fiber]

Today is a perfect lesson for people like to short the hole. they short breakdowns and then when the breakdowns fail they have to cover rapidly

[ancient marsh]

And it is

[low yoke]

npoc?

[ancient marsh]

Naked volume point of control

[low yoke]

ah ok, thanks

[night flicker]

damn I hit my daily limit

did a mistake on ES..

[wraith wharf]

You not in on this?

[night flicker]

nope, I hit the limit a while ago

[wraith wharf]

Ah no

[night flicker]

but I did see this short

yeah ffs

its gonna drop till bottom

to around 14974.75 imo

we had a sweep at that top as well it was also a good entry

[wraith wharf]

I wasn't able to get in higher, was on the toilet lol

[night flicker]

15005.00 better exit

less risky

@wraith wharf

the top trade is less your style but I like the sweeps

you can catch small scalps with it as well

look at the 15m damn

[wraith wharf]

Ah if I was going to do that I would short the candle that would break that structure. Less drawdown if possible

[ancient marsh]

OG loser

[night flicker]

yeah I need to remember that according to that original strategy it supposed to hit the order block that the sweep touches again

thats how you are supposed to trade it

my friend trades this shit on the 10s

small scalps lol

[night flicker]

I was wrong

15057 is 0.5 fib

[wraith wharf]

Yeah I got out at break even possible looking for another short

[night flicker]

short might be at that top again

but this time we want to see it break it a little and get a nice rejection

keep in mind that that top is also the 0.5 fib + FVG + strong resistance on the 15m

might bounce between it and the 0.5 fib on the 1m

[wraith wharf]

Well see, I might get in on a rejection but this could just keep going up

[night flicker]

yep

[wraith wharf]

Looks like it could be longs today

[night flicker]

if we breek it we go to 200 or so

[wraith wharf]

Sheesh lol hopefully someone got that long

[night flicker]

fighting the strong OB part

these usually are the strongest part of the OB

as far as I've seen

[tawny pulsar]

is thtath art ES or NQ?

[night flicker]

NQ

and I think we might drop to that 0.5 again

[wraith wharf]

Yeah I got in at 130

[night flicker]

nice

lets hope it goes as planned

300 ticks trade

should be enough for 1 day lol

the "real" entry should've been at 144

but 130 is the safer option 100%

SL at 145.5

5:1 RR?

[wraith wharf]

That's the plan

[tawny pulsar]

how many contracts do you trade on NQ? micro or mini?

[night flicker]

[night flicker]

I think he takes 5 MNQ

[wraith wharf]

Right now 5 micros, it's not the best setup or I would have done 10

[night flicker]

yeah A trades are worth the double risk

[tawny pulsar]

are you guys using the luxalgo signal? which settings, please?

i am new here

[night flicker]

these trades can say fuck you in a second

like this seem to do

rrrf68

[wraith wharf]

Yeah I'm not afraid of losses lol. This is risk management. I know my setups

[night flicker]

thats my cat lol

damn I want to but Jigsaw and bloomberg terminal so bad lmao

@wraith wharf

don't jinx this

[wraith wharf]

Stops at break even buyers look strong still

[night flicker]

look how close they go to that area again

the previous order block is built up from 3 small parts

[tawny pulsar]

what is Jigsaw and bloomberg terminal ?

[night flicker]

you know Bookmap?

[cobalt wave]

Bookmap and HyBlock

[tawny pulsar]

that area is a fibonnanci on my chart

[cobalt wave]

are nice tools

[night flicker]

fibonnaci?

on which move?

[night flicker]

Hyblock? never heard of them

I'll take a look

[cobalt wave]

HyBlock capital

[tawny pulsar]

on the chart you posted last

[night flicker]

am lost, can you rply to it?

[night flicker]

hmm they look interesting

[cobalt wave]

Yeah

[night flicker]

they give API access as well

[tawny pulsar]

this currently resitance is the fibonnaci 15105.00

i usually did not use fibonnanci, i do not think that is trading, but it works because people believe it works and use

[wraith wharf]

Yeah I'm out. Decent scalp

[night flicker]

nice

[wraith wharf]

Yeah not liking the shorts right now. Looking like a bull flag

[night flicker]

damn I keep missing the small fibs

the big FVG gives extra strength

its exactly on the bottom line of the FVG

[wraith wharf]

Yeah that long looks good

[night flicker]

UP UP AND AWAYYYYY

[wraith wharf]

Yeah my exit would have been the perfect entry to target the highs. Nice little scalps there for sure!

[tawny pulsar]

ES is reaching high of the day

if do not pass, ES will maybe come down
(could range for while and keep up

NQ usually follows ES

[night flicker]

how am I doing so far?

[tawny pulsar]

why do you prefer trade 5 to 10 mini instead 1 micro on NQ?

[wraith wharf]

Because I can scale my trade better

[wraith wharf]

Bullish since the beginning of the year. But almost every end of the month is bullish too.

[night flicker]

thats the cycles that I use, they were spot on this year

not only bullish

[tawny pulsar]

are you guys using the luxalgo signal? which settings, please?

i am new here, and am having trouble to use properly it

[wraith wharf]

I use mostly the ICT concepts and their Price Action Concepts indicator for the strategy that I use. As for the overlay I like to keep it simple

[tawny pulsar]

thank you

what is volume sentimental on the table?

how should i use it, please?

[wraith wharf]

@night flicker You seeing this setup come up?

[ancient marsh]

Dat was a 30pt winner

[wraith wharf]

Aye!

[ancient marsh]

Right to the reversal zone

[night flicker]

took a while

sorry was busy lol

[wraith wharf]

That was the one! Yeah lunch hour takes a bit but it worked out. Nice!

[tired plume]

hey remind me which indicator is turning that candle blue? is it the silver bullet one?

[ancient marsh]

1 more short, small

[wraith wharf]

Looks like a good one too. We starting to downtrend

[ancient marsh]

Shhhhhh

Took it again only we broke that consolidation earlier

Break retest, continue, hopefully

Nah took BE

[wraith wharf]

You were up like 10 points I think at one point. But there was a FVG and strong support. BE better than a loss though

[ancient marsh]

Yeah it offered 10

Hence why im not gonna let it come back and lose $$ on it

[barren lintel]

Anyone been having issues with NT disconnecting from Rithmic?

or just me

[ancient marsh]

Jinxed it

[wraith wharf]

My bad

[ancient marsh]

I said that to try and reverse jinx it

[wraith wharf]

It still might right here

Now that Ive said that, it probably go HOD

[night flicker]

5m

[tawny pulsar]

what is reverse jinx ?

[ancient marsh]

Chop?

[ancient marsh]

Just a joke

I shorted HOD, but took 5 points

[wraith wharf]

Looks like my reversal jinx worked lol

[ancient marsh]

And ruined my short, thanks

[night flicker]

nope, you see the trail touch?

5m > 1m (?)

[ancient marsh]

I dont like 5, but i do like 3

Based off my studies

[night flicker]

regardless, it got reversed on the smart trail

[ancient marsh]

And scalps

Look at 3min

It has said look for longs only since open

5 also

[wraith wharf]

Yeah today is a pretty bullish day

[ancient marsh]

But i do like when they align w/ higher time frame

[wraith wharf]

Well Im pretty happy with my couple small scalps. Can't win big all the time. No more trading for me today

[ancient marsh]

Good job

I wanted it to dip a little more but no fill there

[wraith wharf]

Yeah looks like a nice slow grind back to the upside

[ancient marsh]

L 147

Stop trail break

Probably roll over now

😆

+10

Whatever, 2R will work

[wraith wharf]

🔥

[ancient marsh]

Good day, probs turn it off

Play some chess, you guys play?

[wraith wharf]

Nah, but sounds like fun

[ancient marsh]

I just started couple months ago, cant stop

Even watching damn yt videos on strats and stuff

[wraith wharf]

Ah hell yeah!

[random sage]

Smart trail kicking but

[wraith wharf]

OG was about to take tp

This is a paper trade and I had a bad fill. Probably would have taken it

[hearty rivet]

Yooo

[wraith wharf]

Sup!

[hearty rivet]

Hows you

[wraith wharf]

Good, you?

[lean fiber]

Awesome

[cloud cipher]

@ancient marsh what timeframe you trade? You entering as soon as a wick touches the smart trail? Using the SL and TP from the excel images?

Also, What’s your reversals setup/criteria for chop you said you did also?

[spiral drift]

curious, how do you guys hook up this trading system to binance API? or this vip is only for charts not auto trade?

[past jungle]

Apex 90% off sale happening now thru July 6

[barren lintel]

$20 100k Bulenox Account

[barren lintel]

YASSSSS

[toxic widget]

crypto trading advantages nowadays:

on a side note, seems that our MMs are not done playing with the current BTC range, so be careful

[modest jacinth]

with Apex is Dynotrading robot included?

[toxic widget]

what trading system, mate?

Lux toolkit is a set of indicators

for Trading View

how you connect TV with your exchange to trade is your task

plenty of solutions online

i for example have coded my own in Python

others use systems similar to David's Tech, you can find the guy online, on YTB

others use 3Commas or other third parties that can receive data from TV and trigger deals based on signals (using any of the exchanges 3Commas or the third party can connect to)

etc, etc

but Lux is not a trading system per se, it's just a set of indicators you combine to achieve an end goal: a good entry on deals

hope that helps you a bit

as for stocks, I use Capital.com for example, but also coded my own

[night flicker]

not sure what that is, but they only give you the basic NT subscription

any other addon will cost you money, even their own trade copier costs extra money

[toxic widget]

the fun of funded accounts platforms 🙂

[night flicker]

I will enter the market only at 10:00

[night flicker]

yep

but they are nice when your account isn't as big

I use them, blew up a few accounts working on the strategies, difference between live and paper trading but I believe I finally got it

after the manual trading goes well, I will move to automate a strategy and then will join you @toxic widget

[toxic widget]

Seal's strats really good so far, mate

happy with the results

[wild quail]

Which one is that ?

[toxic widget]

can send you the deal triggering data in a json, to any platform that can accept it, if you want

that way you can use the system, mish

we'll find a way

it doesn;t have to be Capital.com 🙂

[night flicker]

nice, when I get to it I'll let you know then

thanks

[toxic widget]

yw

[ancient marsh]

Useless information bro

Every Friday for the last 3 months has trended?

[zenith crown]

yeah dont enter before 10 lol i got chopped out

[night flicker]

not every, but usually they are trendy

especially in the last few weeks

oh never mind, just felt like it then on the 1m charts

the 5m shows more trendy near the end of the day, more "consolidation" at the begnning

[young pelican]

Cool, thats nice.

[night flicker]

[toxic widget]

Kris maybe thinking it was a general offer lol

how's your current system, mish? all good?

[night flicker]

I am using ICT and liquidity sweeps, would've used Bookmap as well but I need to connect it to my Rithmic

[toxic widget]

does it work?

[night flicker]

the main problem is that I can either connect it to NT or Bookmap

and I need the trade copier which not sure whether Bookmap offers or not

[toxic widget]

as far as I know, ICT works with low TF scalps better

[night flicker]

yep, 1m

[tawny pulsar]

do you use an indicator for liquity sweeps?

[night flicker]

but you can ride them as well many times

the past week me and Forseti found a few 300+ ticks setups

[toxic widget]

nice

[night flicker]

yep, and thats ignoring the small scalps that give 50 - 100 ticks here and there

watch this @toxic widget

last Friday

came back to the same FVG that was on a 50 fib line 3 times

each time was 300 ticks

[toxic widget]

massive wins there

[night flicker]

yep

I was still paper trading there, learning ICT but it was still a good day

[toxic widget]

Fridays are tricky though

noticed that along the way

best days to trade remain Tuesdays to Thursday

with Wednesday a pivotal point most of the times

[night flicker]

yeah, Fridays can be a bit scary

[toxic widget]

first hour on Fridays always a ruse

some indices going up, others down, Dixie undecided

it's a period of confusion to let traders stack orders in some direction, while big money will eventually reverse it to realize their profits

[wraith wharf]

You take that long @night flicker ?

[night flicker]

yeah but my trade copier fucked it

had to closed it

if it re-touches I might enter again

ffs its a 35 points trade

@wraith wharf should I re-enter at this point?

doesn't look much good

[wraith wharf]

No I wouldn't looks weak

Or the move is going to go without you

[night flicker]

yeah.. but trust the setup

[night flicker]

you think rejection might be on that gap?

I mean.. took small profit with the small trade till I had to close it

[night flicker]

20*

wasn't a trade to ride till the top

[toxic widget]

i'm still in shorts on both indices

[wraith wharf]

Well ES took sell side, NQ didn't but the draw on liquidity I believe is still lower for NQ

[night flicker]

ES

[toxic widget]

price moving very fast now

[night flicker]

@wraith wharf you taking the short?

[toxic widget]

need to decide on keeping or leaving it running 😛

[night flicker]

long?

[toxic widget]

both shorts

[wraith wharf]

I still think the long is valid

[toxic widget]

but as far as I can see, buyers pressure increased

[night flicker]

damn I took the short

[toxic widget]

I can still close both at a profit, but not sure if shorts are still valid now

longs seem more appropriate so far

[night flicker]

why though?

[wraith wharf]

Based on ES smt with ES taking sell side and creating our MSS

[night flicker]

too much liquidity was grabbed on that topm we had MSS and then a big FVG

exited early on that shirt only because of that small bottom

seems like it may reject on the up move 50 fib line

which is almost where the previous candle closed

[ancient marsh]

Chop

Save your bullets

[wraith wharf]

I still think longs are valid until market tells me otherwise. You can always wait for a more comfortable trade.
I'm on a plane now going out of town my internet is spotty

[toxic widget]

from the PA looks like selling is absorbed, I will go with Forsetti's prediction as well

although I have 2 shorts running 🙂

[night flicker]

ES is still fighting that zone

[toxic widget]

but since I am at BE, will not stop either of them yet

can wait a bit longer

[night flicker]

ES EQH EQL
NQ EQH LL

[night flicker]

both shorts?

[toxic widget]

opened way earlier, Mish

[night flicker]

yeah, noticed by the profit

[toxic widget]

one of them was £120 at some point

did not close

[night flicker]

wheres SL rn?

I think its time to fly soon

[toxic widget]

the columns after price are SL and TP

looks like buyers are getting in control though

[night flicker]

imagine it TP lol

[night flicker]

you ahve bookmap / footprint?

[toxic widget]

not on this one

[night flicker]

not sure if we will fly lol

[toxic widget]

hence why I am still patient 🙂

[night flicker]

waited to see what happens with that small consolidation

[toxic widget]

buyers slowly improving the odds of a long, Mish

[night flicker]

yeah

noticed it on ES

waited for NQ and ES to break that small resistance

was it just a sweep though?

[toxic widget]

too early to say

[night flicker]

it still had some room to go up

[toxic widget]

but moving up to the pace of a snail though

[night flicker]

Aker you know the developers rubber duck thingy?

[toxic widget]

use it all the time lol

[night flicker]

Watch mine lol

ignore the "activate windows"

[toxic widget]

lol

that's why I buy my hardware always with a license included 😛

[night flicker]

yeah, but this PC is 5 yo or so

didn't want to pay for it back then lol

[night flicker]

and you probably using linux on the servers so it doesn't count

[toxic widget]

here is just around £50 extra, so fair enough for an OEM license

[toxic widget]

you would be surprised to know I pay licenses on all my dedicated servers lol

CPanel, CloudLinux, etc, etc

any shit I use costs money

[night flicker]

yeah servers are expensive af

but the things you get for each $ is worth it

[toxic widget]

meant extra, not the monthly rental of the servers. that's another cost lol

[night flicker]

we finally hit top and rejected finally

the sweep wasn't much good so not sure how much it will hold

[toxic widget]

meanwhile humpty dumpty BTC moving up a bit

[night flicker]

wasn't even a sweep just a kiss on the resistance

[night flicker]

damn you know why? anything new there?

[toxic widget]

just tested 30350 again

[night flicker]

some dumb "guru" entered on a short on QQQ with I think 10k, people told him it was dump and he was like "yeah but look, the same pattern happened in 2008 so we must dump" he had to go BE and got bullied in the comments lmao

[toxic widget]

good thing he trades based on patterns from 2008 😛

when there were no bots or algos in the markets

amazing comparison

[wraith wharf]

Sheesh, it's all over the place right now. I'd wait till London closes to see where it goes

[lost lava]

BTC When short or long ?

[night flicker]

pretty much sums this up

[night flicker]

when the chart says so

[toxic widget]

and I'm back to green again 🙂

[night flicker]

Aker look what I learned from you lmao

[toxic widget]

from -£100 to +£100

lovely

[sweet spade]

I’m eyeing cl on the 15m has a nice fvg it may retrace to

[night flicker]

CL on the 1m is doing what NQ and ES did previously but reverse

EQH HL

I think CL will drop

please don't enter using this

[sweet spade]

Me to may try catch the drop with micros and reverse once in the fvg

[night flicker]

keep in mind that the money flow thing is slowly moving to green

[sweet spade]

I haven’t tinkered with any of the oscillators I mainly just watch ob n fvg but I’m still new to all this

[toxic widget]

it is, but Dixie still pushing up

as I said earlier, confusion in the market so participants don;t know which way to go next

all signs point towards up, nothing changed yet

[night flicker]

took a nice small scalp

not worth entering anything big atm

[toxic widget]

nope

[night flicker]

whats your theory on this?

whys the confusion?

[sweet spade]

Most likely I’ll just wait for after lunch session maybe have a clear direction

[ancient marsh]

Its balance. Market has found a range for now.

[toxic widget]

maybe this:

[wraith wharf]

Agreed, gotta wait till it knows what it wants.
Imagine being hungry but not knowing what to eat

[night flicker]

me 24/7

i love this emoji for 2 reasons lol

1. the emoji
2. a secret (lets see if aker knows why)

[toxic widget]

is that PEPE the frog? can;t see shit, it's so small lol

[night flicker]

yeah I wish there was a way to make it bigger

is there a way to make a small emoji bigger?

[toxic widget]

don;t think so

[night flicker]

damn.. if only

[toxic widget]

they need to fit the container for text

which is pretty fixed in Discord

[night flicker]

(click it)

[toxic widget]

that I know, still small for my eyes lol

[night flicker]

lmao

5m sums up NQ

[toxic widget]

up and down, up and down

[night flicker]

-100 to +100 to -100 to +100

[toxic widget]

just +35 now

[night flicker]

give it a sec

[toxic widget]

:)))))))))

nothing unusual so far lol

will close at +100 or -100

I have 2 options now 😛

whichever is reached first lol

+60 now

and back to +20

well, we can;t say we don't have volatility 🙂

BTC to 30400, good boy

[night flicker]

idk feels like too volatile for me

[toxic widget]

+80 😛

and humpty dumpty to 30500

crypto market is happy now

30600

[night flicker]

everything because of the Blackrock ETF people went nuts

[toxic widget]

only thing I don;t get yet is why the hype

filing is one thing, getting it approved another

[night flicker]

random people: Blackrock controls the market
Blackrock: -1.4T $

[night flicker]

yep

and the SEC doesn't like crypto

[toxic widget]

and considering the crypto bullshit lately, not sure SEC's priority now is to approve an ETF from Blackrock

considering that would allow billions to be poured into crypto markets

[night flicker]

the only way I can see Blackrock coming out on top is selling the ETF as the only and best way of letting people trade crypto without them actually owning crypto

[night flicker]

• keeping it regulated
• keeping the money in the US

[toxic widget]

I mean, SEC's goal is to drive money out of crypto, not allow more into it

30700

:)))))))

[night flicker]

their goal is making the US more money, people lost billions in crypto and most of the profit brokers made wasn't even taxed in the US

[acoustic mist]

Wat the indicator u r using for market structure breaker

[night flicker]

I think those are manullay drawn but you can use Lux ICT / Lux PA

[acoustic mist]

K

[ancient marsh]

OG winner

[toxic widget]

job done, mish:

+100

and BTC fiddling with 31K again

was 10 dollars away to hit it

[wraith wharf]

Damn, what a Friday, tough day.

[zenith crown]

what trade did you take?

I got chopped out a few times lol

[wraith wharf]

I took 1 long towards open, but it's nothing but straight confusion.
I always do my best to take the best trades, so only 1 small scalp so far. Green but not much

[zenith crown]

that's good

i got a little confused today

3L 1BE

[toxic widget]

mine went from -100 to +100 several times

[wraith wharf]

Yeah today's tough for sure

[night flicker]

we had a small long scalp for 20 points

[toxic widget]

which supports initial idea about confusion

[night flicker]

that was the only valid one

[night flicker]

now to -100?

[night flicker]

we did miss the short on open though

[toxic widget]

no, closed at +100

told you I'll close whatever comes first

[night flicker]

on open and on 10:45

oh lmao

nice

but according to the strat the trade still runs?

[toxic widget]

sure

it takes profits at fixed key levels

and a gold deal was started, which is not going to be sucessful lol

SL means a 40 loss, but TP is a 288 win 😛

pretty optimistic for gold today

[wraith wharf]

We are HTF trending down but I'm not I'm not sure at this point so I'm just going to wait. Or call it here. Keep my small scalp and have a nice weekend lol

[toxic widget]

would be crazy to hit the TP

[toxic widget]

always the better choice, F 🙂

prices are swinging up and down chaotically

[wraith wharf]

Yeah it's accumulating right now. Then market will decide eventually to shoot in a direction

[toxic widget]

only asset keen on trending strongly is Bitshit

all others just fooling around, Forex included

[wraith wharf]

Usually if overnights are trendy then open is choppy.
Not all the time but that's what it seems like. I still think longs are valid but I could still be wrong and as new info/data from the market come in we decided then. But I'm done for the day, getting on my next plane

[hearty rivet]

Yoooo

[autumn thistle]

I 'beat' you today. I got $19 🚀 Having a party on my boat ⛵ to celebrate 🥂

[night flicker]

I'll signal you next time lmao

I want to use Bookmap as well

seen so many videos by Jigsaw they are good

[past jungle]

Anyone ever get this issue? No candle coloring. refreshing isn't working

[night flicker]

whats the issue here?

[past jungle]

Candles are black and grey and they're normally blue white and red. It only decides to color the bars whenever it feels like recently for me and I can't figure it out. Bar colors still show blue, white and red in the settings

[night flicker]

maybe an indicator?

smart trail

[nocturne sigil]

Recreate a new chart with Lux indicators only, you probably have other 3rd party indicators with bar coloring options that may conflict with Lux coloring options 🤷🏻‍♂️

[past jungle]

Thanks and thank you @night flicker it was the sessions indicator for NY time zone that was messing with it. All i had to do was disable it and enable it again

[fallow cedar]

with my gains I think I might go all out and add STAKE to my chicken bowl from chipotle!!

lets make some money this week

[zenith crown]

yayyyy

waiting for indicators to turn bullish

do you usually skip/tend not to trade during the open?

[night flicker]

happy new week gents

we are stuck at a 15m order block (now trying to break) if we break I think 15111 - 15114 is possible

we need to first break this 15094

@wraith wharf you saw this?

didn't take, not taking risk with the first 30 minutes especially in Monday

[wraith wharf]

@night flicker yeah I saw it. I'm out of town with no WiFi so no trades here. Prob not till I get back on Thursday. You should start taking them in micros until you get more comfortable to up your size

[night flicker]

yeah currently I am taking 5 MNQ per trade

[wraith wharf]

That's what's up. A few hundred here and there add up especially with a good strategy.

Low risk : high reward

[night flicker]

went back down and got some liquidity

[night flicker]

these strats also give too good of an RR

so the risk drops by much

[wraith wharf]

Yup. Your now a baker, cause you making that bread errday now

[night flicker]

[hearty rivet]

Let’s fucking go

I have a surprise for you guys

A systematic step by step protocol to follow for every day

[night flicker]

ES looking at 4402

@hearty rivet APEX FUCKED ME

I got the DOM for CME and I didn't get it

[night flicker]

it hit 4401.5

[dreamy depot]

Hello guys where do you think the indicqtor is more efficient on M15 or H1 ?

[ancient marsh]

No fill on that touch

[night flicker]

watch this

[hearty rivet]

What happens bro

Bro whyy

popping my shisha and hoping on

Hold on

[night flicker]

they aren't giving me my layer 2 data

and I paid for it

BUT we have a live stream on their server now lmaooo

4404 another high liq area

[west berry]

We’re is this happening

[hearty rivet]

i think i hit my best trade ever

not in terms of money

but in terms of setup

ill record the vid now

[night flicker]

when did you enter?

[ancient marsh]

You catch that touch?

[night flicker]

Bookmap server

[random sage]

The second one

Not the first one

[ancient marsh]

1st usually bedt

[night flicker]

lol

tempted to enter this short but not liking the market rn

[west berry]

Es

[night flicker]

@hearty rivet what you think?

ES is holding Sellside liquidity

so don't think we will drop unless we break

[night flicker]

CL

can't believe I didn't just enter market at that point

[night flicker]

damn it was valid

not sure why I am a bit scared of the market today ffs

52 points already

[night flicker]

300 ticks

[west berry]

Same move on nq 1m missed it too

[night flicker]

thats NQ 1m

[west berry]

This is terrible 😞 would have being done for today

[west egret]

smart touch incoming?

[wraith wharf]

Scared money makes no money. You can take it with small size if you don't think it's your best setup. Meaning your loss will be small if it didn't work out and if it does then you at least made a little money.
The market will always make you angry lol. You either miss your trade and your mad, you lose and your mad, you should have either sized up on a good trade, sized down on a bad trade lol. It's always something. Market will always make you feel something until you tell yourself you gotta let it go and move on.
I heard that from someone a long time ago

[night flicker]

yeah not sure what is with me today lol I already traded on money

something is off with me today maybe the Apex fuck up affected me lol

[random sage]

lets gooo

[night flicker]

ES did a sweep and NQ hit order block and both bounced

nice

[west egret]

ahh did not play out, hope for some new

[night flicker]

give me a sweep come onn

[hearty rivet]

beautiful

video uploading boys

follow this setup protocol for rest of your lives

[west berry]

It’s being decided down trend day

[hearty rivet]

we just swept one a minute ago

london session LOW

but right now we entering lunch time, algos start at 1:30 pm

thats where we will start looking for trades

[west berry]

PAC is the greatest 10 point on that 5 min breaker

[night flicker]

didn't react though

so no entry

[hearty rivet]

ofc

no mss yet

[night flicker]

BTW @hearty rivet look at my dumbness

[night flicker]

it was exactly where I said

it did a great sweep

not sure why I didn't think of it

[hearty rivet]

that was london HIGH swept, amazing trade tb

tbh

[night flicker]

yeah

[hearty rivet]

if unsure always take micro

or paper

[night flicker]

and I expected it to happen

[hearty rivet]

price is literally running from liq to liq

[night flicker]

I guess I was too distracted... usually doesn't happen but oh well, we will probably get another trade today

[hearty rivet]

not a problem

[night flicker]

with the amout of volatility that we still have worse case scenario I will catch a few this week

[hearty rivet]

exactly, these repeats alot per day

[night flicker]

need only 3 / 4 this week

bid ones like these.. ES + NQ did around 2.5k if I calculated properly

[hearty rivet]

you will see in my new video, london high low, NY am high low, NY pm high low. thats 6 liquidites per day for us to enjoy

[night flicker]

380 ticks on NQ and 14 points on ES

[hearty rivet]

its crazy isnt it

[night flicker]

yeah but many times it doesn't reject

[hearty rivet]

its my first ever time to leave a runner one

on*

[night flicker]

yep, not to shit on the OG strat / trail touch but this is wayyy better imo

[hearty rivet]

first one 117 ticks second con went up to 280

[night flicker]

better wr (90% or so) more fun to analyse the charts so not bored and waiting for the entry

and better profit

with better RR overall

[hearty rivet]

exactly

as long as your trades comprise of liquidity then you are good

[night flicker]

BUT the problem is that you need to control your emotions

indicator based trades are easier to act like a bot with.. no emotions

[hearty rivet]

with these emotions dont come in the way

my stop loss was $150 or so

my tp was $1400

and you are on funded acc so no emtions ehhe

[night flicker]

with these emotions can affect you more than indicator based strat

regardless though.. if you want to grow in this world (trading / investing etc) you need to learn to control that shit

[night flicker]

how so small?

[hearty rivet]

my trade was on 2 cons

[night flicker]

mine was 17 points on NQ and 6 points on ES

[night flicker]

oh so makes sense

I take 5 cons since my wr is nice

[hearty rivet]

imagine 5 cons

x 280 ticks

can i get a ooowwee

XD

[night flicker]

damn

we got a sweep on ES

entered... didn't change my trade copier to MES instead of MNQ

closed it and now its too late

why can't it just copy every trade lmao

I can..... just open.... copier.... twice?????

[hearty rivet]

for TC

i recommend Ninja trader

on Tradovate its shit

vid almost uploaded

its in SD, waiting for HD hehe

[night flicker]

am waiting

[covert plaza]

What is TC, SD & HD?

[hearty rivet]

lolol

TC is trade copier

SD and HD is for my yt video, its rendering from standard defintion to HD xd

[covert plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/lmfao-laughing-gif-25145562

thanks 🙂

[hearty rivet]

lolol

[ancient marsh]

Nice trail winner

[random sage]

i somehow lost that one

[ancient marsh]

Exited on color change?

[random sage]

my stop loss was 25 ticks and i didnt even move it and it shouldnt of hit it

[hearty rivet]

Here is the step of the strategy

Here is the journal we will fill

[night flicker]

oh and we had this trade on ES

[hearty rivet]

this strat was tested on spx 15 trades 1 loss 94%

[hearty rivet]

thats beautifull

[west berry]

I missed this too mish I froze considering how fast it got there couldn’t short it lol on nq

[night flicker]

nah I am not trading today

need to clear my head apperantly lol

[hearty rivet]

video ready

but HD will take 10 min or so more

[west berry]

Let’s have it

[hearty rivet]

dont view it

yet

cant see shit xd

[west berry]

Screw hd gimme that video in black and white

[night flicker]

im gonna be famous now

LFGGGG

[hearty rivet]

lmaoo

[hearty rivet]

patients my g

[wraith wharf]

Lol you guys crazy

[hearty rivet]

look at that

drop

who cares dont do anything

its lunch time, algos asleep, only retails

[west berry]

Yeah that 5 min break held its ground Nq

[hearty rivet]

we took every sellside liquidity since 22 june

this is getting interesting

actually since 13 june

we filling daily fvg

[west berry]

We have a large order block 4hr

[west berry]

That’s why it’s always best to do timeframe run down if you didn’t mention it I wouldn’t even know we are filling an fvg on the daily

[hearty rivet]

defo

always check daily

to get overall idea what market wants to do

wether it goes down or up it doesnt matter we grab whatever liquidity is grabbed and trade on that

but good to know what will happen overall

i can see that power of 3 easily from that pic

my videos HD require 30 min or so

off

[west berry]

What’s the video about and we’re can we watch it

[hearty rivet]

ill send link here

[west berry]

👍

[hearty rivet]

its about ict concept strategy that you can use for rest of your life

they are short but makes you consistent money

[west berry]

Thanks appreciate it no knowledge is a waste keep up the good work

[hearty rivet]

ok bois video is up

here is the step by step protocol to follow

watch in 1440p HD xd

[west berry]

Nice video brother

It’s a very easy concept that’s based on liquidity and calls for patience no liquidity sweep and mss and fvg you don’t take the trades it’s clear

[hearty rivet]

thanks bro

set an alert for High/Low taken then set an alert for MSS , then enter on FVG

this allows you to grab not 10-20 ticks but 200-300 ticks while risking coffee money

[ancient marsh]

Smart trail winner

[west berry]

What’s your settings for the smart trail

[ancient marsh]

Is there settings for it?

[west berry]

Yeah mid short long

[ancient marsh]

Mid

[night flicker]

doesn't effect smart trail only candle colors and signals

[west berry]

Oh okay we are disregarding the signals right and just play based on candle colors

[random sage]

Might get a smart trail tat

Right next to the quant on my but 😉

[arctic wolf]

what candle touch did you take

[ancient marsh]

Lower back

[random sage]

Trail is 3/5 today which is insane

[ancient marsh]

11.57

Im 2 of 3

Damn i missed this one

[random sage]

I only caught the losers 😂😂

[arctic wolf]

I'd have been stopped out probably

[ancient marsh]

Why

[arctic wolf]

my sl would have been 25. looked close to my failing eyesight anyhow

[cloud cipher]

like this @hearty rivet ? long low was swept down, then as it passed back past it it had a FVG, pulled back and tapped it, and then went up. would you enter on that tap (this is last friday 6/23)

[hearty rivet]

you mean NY AM session high?

you would look for a short

unless you meant London Low

[cloud cipher]

meant london low

[hearty rivet]

yeah

i would take the trade at the FVG formed at the MSS

[cloud cipher]

but on the pullback right?

not the initial candle

since big candles almost always have pullbacks

[hearty rivet]

i would enter on that big green first FVG but since price didnt pullback into the fvg i would enter on the second small fvg formed, so i dont miss the opportunity. However please note if you do this then you must be able to handle and wether the price dipping down to fill that big fvg if it ever does. if you cant handle such risk then forget it and move to a new setup

[west berry]

Yo Luke is this idea for any session if we sweep any previous session high and lows

[hearty rivet]

yes

[cloud cipher]

from my understanding its whatever the previous one or two is?

[hearty rivet]

any session high/low sweep then MSS then FVG entry here

[cloud cipher]

like we could look for NY AM right now or london, right?

[hearty rivet]

the latest previous session high or low

[cloud cipher]

ah

so now we only care about NY AM

and ignore London all together

[hearty rivet]

suppose you are in NY PM session currently as we are rn, you would take your trades based on the NY AM session

[cloud cipher]

gotch

a

cool

fascinating concept

[hearty rivet]

exactly

[cloud cipher]

ive been following you in general on here for multiple months now and have seen you absolutely know your stuff....so im digging into this real good because i know you are "the real deal"

[hearty rivet]

thanks bro glad to hear

[cloud cipher]

so this is where we are now. nothing broken yet.....so we would need to break the NYAM high or low FIRST and then look for the reversal?

[west berry]

Yes I’m hoping we take ny am low

[hearty rivet]

exactly

this looks like a nice setup, im watching it too

London low was taken, and price is really far from it

so we must wait for NY AM low to be taken out

[west berry]

I like the concept if it’s nit gonna work it’s clear it’s not gonna work

We took that London lows and we got no mss

[hearty rivet]

exactly

[west berry]

Which clearly means stay out good job Luke

[cloud cipher]

i did notice this....with lux PAX turned on it sees multiple more FVG that ICT alone does not see

[hearty rivet]

if we are wrong, we dont have to feel bad because we know we did the most good setup any retail trader can do for that said trade

[west berry]

Why do you think it’s paid

[hearty rivet]

yeah

[west berry]

😂

[hearty rivet]

you can manually look

[west berry]

It’s because it’s better

[cloud cipher]

i mean im running both....

[hearty rivet]

once you get an MSS look at the candles that formed it or around it

[cloud cipher]

just wasnt sure if i was missing something lol

[hearty rivet]

you dont have to look for fvg anywhere

[cloud cipher]

is MSS the one we want, or is there a better one in PAC we should look for?

[hearty rivet]

when you see MSS just look did the candle forming MSS form an FVG or is there any fvg a canddle or so away from it

i trust MSS

not BOS or CHOCH

although if you ask me? these three mean the same

[west berry]

But they are the same

[hearty rivet]

just indicators calculate them differently

[cloud cipher]

gotcha - i saw one MSS was also marked CHoCH so i wasnt sure if it was like the the FVG aspect where the paid does something better

but no worries

[hearty rivet]

this would be a really nice trade

even inverse FVG is there

but liquidity

follow the protocol

it makes you money

[west berry]

I’m only using ict concept for mss I have the rest turned off and I have pac turned on for fvg and order blocks

And I’m adding matrix to this

[cloud cipher]

cool - you get me - im just trying to make sure im using the best of the best since i have access to all the lux stuff

[west berry]

I figure the reversal point also nails the entry

[cloud cipher]

@hearty rivet is sitting over here like "guys...stop complicating it!"

[hearty rivet]

lolol

[west berry]

😂

[hearty rivet]

since we didnt take liquidity yet of AM session

you see this big red bearish FVG?

price might want to fill that to continue the downtrend

[cloud cipher]

yeah

ah so maybe a pull upwards first

and then down?

[hearty rivet]

i also recommend putting 2x ict concepts indicator

one for bullish one for bearish, toggle one off and on dependingo n what trade you will take

[hearty rivet]

yeah but we just watch

no liquidity grab no trade

if you enter a long now, and get a win

consider that luck

[west berry]

I’m not seeing the fvg using pac

[hearty rivet]

there is alot of equal lows at the bottom

do you have bookmap

@fast notch

[west berry]

Is this manually drawing

[hearty rivet]

yeah

you must be able to manullay visuallize an FVG

its a big candle with wick of candle before and after

[cloud cipher]

how is the LG created or viewed on your chart?

[hearty rivet]

im sorry the vido isnt top quality

[cloud cipher]

is that the FVG?

[hearty rivet]

i barely have time after work lol

whats LG

[cloud cipher]

liquidity grab. i usually use the PAC Liquidity grab

[cloud cipher]

replying to this

[west berry]

It’s okay the videos is clear enough if you have more of this I don’t care if they are in black and white I told you lol 😂

[cloud cipher]

what is your definition ?

[hearty rivet]

oh lol

[cloud cipher]

the big cnadle?

[hearty rivet]

the session indicator

it displays green high and green low

[cloud cipher]

oh that is right

the breaking of that

[hearty rivet]

if a candle wick passes through a high or a low

the color changes from green to red

[cloud cipher]

yep and then we are looking for the move back the other way

[hearty rivet]

remember we look for sweep of liquidity. so price goes through for a bit and revereses

if it continues up or down its a continuation not a sweep/grab

[cloud cipher]

and when it moves the other way we need the MSS + FVG and then a pullback to it and a tap

and away we go

[hearty rivet]

sweep

[west berry]

Not just fvg mss important

[cloud cipher]

yeah i edited lol

[hearty rivet]

continuation

yeah

[cloud cipher]

I would assume the MSS + FVG need to be near the session line, correct?

like if it cruises back above it uneventful and is halfway up the chart to the other side and then does one that is not related

its going to be the action right near that previous session line on return to it

[hearty rivet]

after a liq is taken

price should start reversing soon

like max 1 hour

[past jungle]

ictindex.io

chatGPT, but for ICT concepts

[hearty rivet]

i saw ye

[past jungle]

Pretty cool build

[cloud cipher]

ok so basically - the best way to alert for this then is simply set yourself a few alerts at the previous session high and low and then do whatever and as soon as the alert goes off, turn (back on) your MSS alert in case you are momentarily away and just keep an eye on things

[hearty rivet]

price filled daily FVG fully

basically

set 2 alerts for sessions indicator and set alert for MSS on lux

[cloud cipher]

yeah

fire

i gotcah

[hearty rivet]

i suggest you set 2 alerts for sessions once one pops up then set an MSS alert

that way you dont get spammed per usesless mss

[cloud cipher]

yeah that is exactly what i was thinking

yeah thats why i said turn back on MSS alert lol

assuming it was turned off

but yeah

once you understand whats happening this is genius really

[hearty rivet]

exactly

[west berry]

We actually had a nice setup at ny am after the London highs was swept

[hearty rivet]

yes Mish took that

in the video i took a trade today based on yesterdays NY PM session

i couldnt take todays NY AM for 2 reasons, 1- im already green cuz of a trade i took few mins earlier . 2 - i was recording the video for you guys XD

[west berry]

lol 😂 thanks Luke your sacrifice is worth it

I’m taking this serious and using that journal

[hearty rivet]

Lol you welcome bro

Yeah journal

Take screenshot from chart and paste it there

I never journaled until now

It’s super fun and helpful

[west berry]

How does this work

[cloud cipher]

@hearty rivet this works on any ticker and any session?

like could we do it on ES

or theoretically even with like 1dte options instead of futures?

or really just NY AM/PM and london?

just curious if i should be setting alerts at the close of the NY session for when asian kicks in

or when asian closes for when london kicks in

[night flicker]

we are supposed to drop now

[cloud cipher]

i guess the checklist does say NY and London....so maybe asian isnt strong enough to make it worth it

still curious if it works on anything though

could set multiple alerts and watch both options and futures

@west berry use the 1min matrix for that entry

1 min chart has the FVG set to 5min timeframe for overlay reference

[west berry]

This nice I didn’t know you could do that

Did you see the matrix nailed it

[cloud cipher]

although there was no MSS with the morning move

but still....the overlay is the same idea regardless

[west berry]

There was that choch count as mss on the 1m chart
