[barren lintel]

this is what im learning. Also why im only doing a couple micros at a time. Getting those losses when doing minis was truly messing with my mind. Then i just start fomo'ing, yoloing and blowing accounts.

[copper nexus]

imo getting rid of your PnL can help a lot at first

[nocturne sigil]

at least its on micros and not full contract size

[copper nexus]

if you want to quickly condition your mind to fast moving PnLs

go watch madaz videos for a few days

[wraith wharf]

Master your craft, not your PnL. Once you master your strategy, money comes

[potent grail]

i tried these three premium indicators, but they are unable to help me on ES or NQ, they are just lagging, can you please help for a better tuning to get any benefit

[exotic copper]

@potent grail has earned the Lux Level 1 role!

Ahmed77111 just levelled up! 🍪

Welcome to LuxAlgo Level 1! Here is a cookie for contributing into the LuxAlgo community. Keep it up & thank you for being with us! <3

[nocturne sigil]

I wouldnt say lagging. just needs optimization for the asset class and the symbol itself, just like FX or crypto...have you look at any of the posted strats by Lux and other members? #1128499789437354106

I have scalped the ES a few times with my template very well.....

Other have great ES/NQ scalp strats too

All from the backbone of a LuxAlgo template

You just need to zoom out and see what you couldnt see on the small chart for that days action. try to see more than a days action on he same chart

Thats the 1H

Here's the 4H

Look at the Lux candle colors and Matrix Turning Points.

This is

Now we bring down the charts TF with this same concept....

Now you can scalp or swing trade, with the bigger picture in mind

[potent grail]

but still you cannot catch the price action, can you please tell me the time you took the trades

[nocturne sigil]

These charts are based on this strat #1129452575809343559 message

I have posted most, if not all of my exact trade executions on a daily basis for FX and futures as I trade direct on TV charts

You just have to make this your own. Tweek a strat to fit your style.....

And I promise you, the Matrix is great for either template, Signals/Overlays or PAC

Keep the chart simple, try not to over complicate the chart....then when it starts to click, then you can start adding other tools to fine tune your strat...

[potent grail]

ok, i use all three in separate windows,

[nocturne sigil]

Dont go for huge wins now, that will come in time. Grab some small scalps so you feel better. The key is getting the confidence back. Only way to do that is consistent small wins

[potent grail]

i tried to catch the 4:30 es drop but when i entered based on these 3 indicators, the price just reversed then

so you if you could help me fine tuning , i'll be gratefull

[nocturne sigil]

what did the higher TF say? it was also friday and no news and everyone waiting for feds next week

[potent grail]

i use 1 min Time frame

[nocturne sigil]

Thats it, you figured it out

Please get off of the 1m for now

For now, be on higher TF's to grab some safer entries...

[potent grail]

you mean 1 hour?

[nocturne sigil]

depends, I do 1H and 15m for entries

you can do 4H and 1H if that is better

[potent grail]

I tried to cat the top and bottom for es today, but didn't had success except for a few short move,

The reversal area doesn't helps , because if it touches that then still it would keep going further into it

[nocturne sigil]

You need some validating factors in order to enter with the reversal zones

We need some other validation, once price enters these zones as we don’t know how far price will head into the zones. We could wait for a break in structure to validate an entry to go the other way

When we have a break in structure and the matrix as confluence at that time, then this can be powerful

Reversal zones are potential areas of change in trend, pause, etc. we need other validations to confirm a direction before we enter

[nocturne sigil]

Take a look at this new episode video that Lux released today https://youtu.be/jlzkhwtIghk

Perfect for the Rev zones

[tired plume]

hey micky, really loved how you answered all of this. great, great wisdom.

[nocturne sigil]

Hey thanks for the nice comments....I've been there before, I've been in many different rooms, I've been through alot of frustrations in the past, I've been through lots of past broken promises from past vendors/groups/gurus. I have seen and been through most of it....and Im just sharing what I have seen and what could work for some members here....

I do "get it" when some are frustrated and they voice these frustrations in different ways. I do "get it."

Just take a step back, breathe, have an open mind, and start fresh, start fresh with a simple template.....

THEN.......

[sick salmon]

hope everyone had a great day

[nocturne sigil]

All good 👍

[sick salmon]

glad to hear it

[nocturne sigil]

hope you did great too, we live another day!

[hardy iris]

So I just found out my broker has zero spread accounts that I can open lmao, that means I can trade the 1min chart better

I have a question for u guys who trade off the 1min chart, do you mainly trade the 1min buyside/sellside runs/sweeps, and is it with out without the htf bias

[tawny pulsar]

᲼
hello

where can i see and know when an indicator premium has been updated , please?
and what are the new improvements ?

᲼

[nocturne sigil]

Morning everyone

☀️

[nocturne sigil]

In my opinion, never worth it, without the HTF

No speeds, that’s good. What’s the catch? Flat monthly fee? Flat fee on each trade per side?

[nocturne sigil]

Most times new indicators are here #🔊announcements and you will also receive email notifications. Also on the TV Lux indicator page, you will find the dates for updates with notes

[tawny pulsar]

what is the link for the TV Lux indicator, please?

[nocturne sigil]

For which indicator? Each indicator has their own page on TV. You can also head over to the LuxAlgo TV profile page where you can see the listed indicators they published

https://www.tradingview.com/u/LuxAlgo/

[tawny pulsar]

i would like to see easily all the premium indicator updates and check every now and again for new updates, because i am not receiving emails with the changes

every premium indicator got a separated page?
what are the links for the premium, please?

pricea ction
signals
oscillator

[nocturne sigil]

I just sent you the link to the LuxAlgo TV profile page, from there, click the Scripts tab, there you will see all of the free and Premium indicators listed. Click on each indicator and you will see all dates with notes....

And yes, every premium indicator has a separate TV page.

Hope this helps

You can also view the LuxAlgo Docs as well: https://docs.luxalgo.com/lux-algo-premium-indicators/lux-algo

yoyo

im making a new youtube video

Breaker block model

these BB models happen at same time as our one-setup-for-life setupts

could be useful for entry, support of entry, entry if price doesnt retrace back to fvg, strong sl

[nocturne sigil]

Would you want to post it in the #1128499789437354106 forum ? 🙏🏽

[hearty rivet]

sure

whats that

[nocturne sigil]

It where Lux and us members can post our strats and everyone can comment under each start thread. Just follow the posting guidelines.....

#1128499789437354106 check the strats out

[hearty rivet]

Nice

[hardy iris]

Like $0.2 commission

Each trade

Pretty good if you're making hundreds each trade

[hardy iris]

Agree, besides u can get plenty of entries on the direction ur going intranasal on 1min

[hearty rivet]

God damn @nocturne sigil teaching BB is a pain in the ass

because i use it with not sessions highs and lows but equal highs and lows for liquidity

[nocturne sigil]

You do so well in the cafeteria.....

[hearty rivet]

hahaha

imma try

[nocturne sigil]

Do what you can if you want, Maybe just the basic template set up...so then others can build on top of it? up to you...no rush, whenever...

[hearty rivet]

alrighty its pretty basic but

lets see wish me luck

i got an idea

ill use lux'es indicator of BB

SICK

[cloud cipher]

@hearty rivet hahaha you destroyed Ethan Garland. Which is even funnier to me because I’ve learned a lot from him in how he explains concepts and was just talking with him yesterday. I saw that comment that was made on his recent video and was like “no way that’s the same Luke”…then clicked the profile and saw your videos listed confirming it was you . Hilarious

[hearty rivet]

omgg what a small world lmao

i like Ethan but that video was a mess and he knows it

[hearty rivet]

holy shit @nocturne sigil

the moment i started recording the video the whole cafe decided it was a good idea to start talking and shouting

[arctic wolf]

Just read. Burned lol. TBH all his vids are the same aren't they.

[hearty rivet]

lolol, yeah all his videos are beautifully explained but the information is almost all wrong

[cloud cipher]

I like two key things about how he does things. 1) i like how his SL is always just past the max reversal. I realize on my plays there is a level it should not go past, but i struggle identifying that with clnfidence sometimes. When you can set your SL as literally the most extreme level it’s so simple. And 2) i like his 1:2 TP focus. Sometimes i can’t decide what my target should be. He always does 1:2 for his bulk. That always seems like a good strong play with minimal thinking. So i cut bulk at 1:2 and then trail the remainder

[hearty rivet]

putting sl at max reversal? how would you know thats max reversal? :)))

but i got you, order blocks and breaker blocks and more concepts ill post daily will help you understand the places where price should respect and should not break

the video is recorded

uploading to youtube now, concept #2 BREAKER BLOCKS. you can use this in the one-setup for life as you will see in the video to get beatiful strong trades aswell as get entries when price doesnt go back to an FVG or if no fvg

highly recommend watching this video

remember when some of you ask how did luke enter a trade if price didnt touch fvg or no fvg yet after mss and sweep? this is exactly how. ICt concept Breaker blocks are one of the strongest concepts ever

video will be uploaded in 5 min if god allows

[cloud cipher]

@hearty rivet yeah like when we get a CHoCH - i always get confused on which level is the best SL - i like how he always just takes the most extreme reversal area as his SL

Makes it no thinking

Actually - this was the 3 min entry for me friday

I entered at the white line as it came up to the FVG and placed my SL at the red line a few points above the most extreme reversal area. It came within two ticks of my SL on the pullback the same candle after i entered. @hearty rivet

[night flicker]

I don't really consider it as FVG if it didn't make another candle down

so if the entry is 1 candle after the FVG is formed I would ignore it

it usually means that the push wasn't as strong, AKA FVG isn't strong

[hearty rivet]

very nice, always trade risk you are comfortable with

Breaker blocks made easy. watch sub and like ❤️

[night flicker]

will give it a watch when I can

thanks ❤️

[hearty rivet]

yw bb ❤️

[night flicker]

thats on the 1m

that's how my trade would've been

also, something that I always watch is the wicks, don't ignore them, you get a big wick the next candle after the MSS, showing strong pull back on the LTF

[nocturne sigil]

This is where @hearty rivet records his videos

[hearty rivet]

LOLOL

LOOOL lies

i dont see a single shisha in there

hahahaha

[nocturne sigil]

This is realistic

[hearty rivet]

wifey material she is

nevertheless, thats a beautiful depiction

[cloud cipher]

@hearty rivet yeah the more i learn I’ve started going back through older videos as i “understand” them more now. Going to go back through yours again and see what i missed the first time

I don’t WANT to put my SL at that extreme - but it at least makes sure i don’t mess up and place it to close and get stopped out because i estimated it’s pullback wrong lol

[hearty rivet]

sounds good! . if you gonna put your sl at such extremes then use micros. Doing so with minis will eat your account in seconds

say you put your sl below an fvg, you got stopped out and price then started going back up. you can always renter

you lost $10-20 but your rentry can put you back up 200-1000$

[cloud cipher]

True!

[hearty rivet]

Garlad defining Choch saying its different for everyone

I think they were trying to do the phrase “I say tomato you say tomahto” (same word different style of saying it). but they literally said a tomato and potato is the same. 😂

max getting back to this ... any chance you could dm me what that line of code would look like. when i try to use a two work indicator i canto get it to compile

hello, I have a question about the dashbord.
there are squeeze, with a shot squeez it is red with the %.
with green it is long and there is the arrow upwards.
yesterday i also had that it was a short squeez and the arrow went up too, what does the symbol with the arrows mean?

thx 🙂

[autumn thistle]

Has anyone tested/noticed the accuracy of the dashboard metrics during the day?

[warm ginkgo]

correct in this guide is just the symbol of the 2 arrows but what is meaning with 1 arrow ?

[nocturne sigil]

what are your thoughts? for me, its really good when used properly....

[autumn thistle]

I haven't really been paying attention, asked cause I'm wondering if I should.

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah, its easy to overlook the dashboard as we trained our eyes to the current candlestick with tunnel vision

[sick salmon]

almost market time!

[clear cedar]

It would be really nice if there was a way to have some sort of traceability or oscillator for that data. It's hard to go back in history and really look at it. Heck, even a CSV file we could export

[nocturne sigil]

Hmmmm, that sounds like extensive coding, above my education level, LOL. And the dashboard not in the data window as well, so I'm really not sure on this one. I just want my 10 pips, LOL

[clear cedar]

Above my coding skills also... I just always forget about the data because it's not a line of my chart that's all 🙂

[cloud cipher]

It always fascinates me how price action and structure is irrelevant of the timeframe. A 5min timeframe has the same ideas as a 1hr, 4hr, daily, etc.
textbook “one trade for life setup” on the 4 hour chart spanning multiple days. @hearty rivet

Always makes me laugh when people are like “oh i only play X timeframe.” Why? It’s all the same. You just have to wait longer the higher you go.

Also - based on this…

We can see on the 4hr we have the FVG tapped, we hit the breaker block, and we just had a BOS. Assuming it doesn’t pull back up we should keep moving down

Going to the 1hr we can see a similar picture…with even a recent pullback to a breaker block tap and the classic step down style downtrend with BOS, pullback to recent FVG and then likely more down.

Looking at the 5min - look familiar? Lol. We have not swept anything yet though that we like. That blue line is NY PM Low.
I bet we sweep that, get our bullish MSS to come back up (which would appear as a pullback on the higher TF) and then move down more.

Could be all wrong, but every time frame from 4hr down to 5 min has the same bearish play happening.

———
Although. Plot twist…if we zoom out to the daily, we just had a bearish FVG generated and are now primed in a bullish FVG to make the pull back upwards to tap that bearish FVG….though no bearish structure change…so at some point soon chances are this 4hr and lower timeframe will likely reverse back up for a day or two…or more if this is all just a pullback before more upward movement.

Kinda cool seeing the daily FVG made on the 15. That pullback is not a “tap” it’s just internals of the daily where the massive drop did not pull back up enough to close the gap and so the FVG was made.

So now…do we come back up and tap that FVG, or even more through it to continue our upward movement, or do we just continue down and maybe finally be seeing the shift in trend?

Lest we forget a week or so ago on July 14 on our lower TF (compared to the Daily). We crashed all afternoon and left a bunch of FVG behind. So it doesn’t HAVE to come back to it…

——-
I was done, but wanted to look at the daily once more

Assuming we get a green candle close soon, this will lock in that top as a new HH.

If this was the five minute or 3 min, what would we talk about?..well first we would note that there has not been a MSS/CHoCH - so this is still technically an bullish trend.

Second…even though we would want to make a play…we would be wise to just stand by and wait…

Even if it taps that FVG…it’s still a bullish trend until structure changes.

So as much as the lower time frame screams bearish - our daily overall structure is still bullish….for now….

[nocturne sigil]

[cloud cipher]

Hopefully i got most of this correct @hearty rivet @wraith wharf 😂 just trying to put into practice what I’ve been learning

The more i learn about structure the more I’m realizing it’s the key to ALL. A single, or even a small run, of similar candles means nothing if just inside the structure. The only things that truly matter are where the Highs/Lows, BOS, and CHoCH happens. That’s where plays are made, not the bouncing and noise inside the structure

[night flicker]

yep, I think I said it once that many times LTF will mimic HTF and vice verca

[barren lintel]

Good morning everyone!

[hardy iris]

morning

[hardy iris]

Looking to see if it displace above sellside

waiting for 8:30

Morning peeps ☕

[cursive cosmos]

perhaps a good day to stay cash with the nasdaq rebalance today

[hearty rivet]

Yooooo

Gm Micky

[wraith wharf]

Yeah this is correct. Structure is very important! We only trade on smaller timeframes becuase theres tons of liquidity and still make a ton of money. So we just zoom in and see our trades on a micro level.
I wouldnt say that is the one and only strategy, Other people make money with other strategies too and are profitable. But to me this makes sense and works for me 🙂

Also good morning everyone!

[hearty rivet]

Holy shheeezzz

This pump

Is it CPIv

[wraith wharf]

We have news coming in 15 min too

Im not trading this hulk boner lol

[barren lintel]

[wraith wharf]

Looking like a bullish day for them sisters. News drops in 3 min though

[hearty rivet]

holy sheettttttttt

what bullish

[wraith wharf]

Looks like the 1 hr we got our upside sweeps, price looking to go lower in our HTF downtrend

[hearty rivet]

look at the drop

[nocturne sigil]

[wraith wharf]

This structure is a little janky. Still waiting, probably going to go get some breakfast and come back 1130am EST

[hearty rivet]

[wraith wharf]

Good luck brotha, Im still waiting

[hearty rivet]

im not in a trade

got the morning payout can just watch this crappy market

but if we get into that fvg im taking a trade

ty tho

ill wait for PM session, am session is gonna be eat both sides

[wraith wharf]

Theres some nice displacement

[wraith wharf]

Took 1 loss for -$200 with a nice fake out. Im pretty happy with that. To trade another day is the name of the game. Im going to wait for more clear strucutre before coming back and seeing if theres anything else.
Going to go pack a bowl of shisha

[hearty rivet]

Happy that the loss is small. Live to see another day

[hearty rivet]

Amazing idea. Pack a bowl of shisha and enjoy the rest of the day

what do you smoke?

[wraith wharf]

My fav is Starbuzz but I do enjoy Al Fakher, I like more of the sweet flavors because of my sweet tooth.

[hearty rivet]

Starbuzz is lit

what flavors you about to smoke now

im renewing a new bowl aswell, grape and mint

al fakher

[wraith wharf]

Ive got Al Fakher Peach going on right now. I should get multiple, mixing flavors is great!

[hearty rivet]

thats sick

hold up

baked peach or al fakher peach

damn i love that but its strong as hell

hold on no

[wraith wharf]

Not baked, just the Al Fakher Peach

[hearty rivet]

nakhla peach

not al fakhre

LTCUSDT trade

[wraith wharf]

In the USA, California

[wraith wharf]

NQ struggling today. ES pretty bullish.
Mondays can be sort of accumulation day. Tuesday we should, hopefully, see a better trend day.

[cloud cipher]

just catching up on the day

looks like we are waiting for a strucutre change to the upside after sweeping london low

but given the time we are unlikely to get that before 1pm

and probably not smart to take it even if we did

so really at this point we are going to be looking for NY AM high or low to be broken before any futher (smart) plays will likely be available

actually...correction....it looks like we went positive on a MSS For a little bit around 11.12 on the 3min

but it didnt really pan out

[wraith wharf]

NQ chopping like crazy. You can see were barcoding on the 15m staying in a range. I don't trust these MSSs today. Displacement up & displacement down.
NQ swept internal high and then swept sell side. To me nothing is clear and lining up with the time-frames so it's good to take this as a learning day or to step away. I kept my losses small and ready for trade another day where my edge is in line.

YM though big play today.

Just looked at CL. Nice long too

[north marlin]

@wraith wharf I stopped trading after 10

[wraith wharf]

NY timezone?

[north marlin]

Yeah, NQ

I’m doing eval for topstep

[wraith wharf]

Nice! How you doing so far with it?

ES Took buyside and MSS is starting to form

Im not looking to trade anymore today. Waiting for a better day.

[night flicker]

yeah I fucked up as well

no reason though, did a replay on the market and my strat worked perfectly

I stopped trading and saw this short

said nah fuck this I am not taking it lol

and it worked out

it even has more room to go down

[wraith wharf]

Oh, this current move?

[night flicker]

yeah

out main mistake today was not considaring consolidation as consolidation and entering as trending lol

which is stupid on this kind of day

[wraith wharf]

Yeah, it happens. Consolidation days only happens for a day or two then trends.

[night flicker]

this is how simple it was supposed to be with the strat lol

but instead we were like "yeah we are trending up / down"

and ES is basically the same

[wraith wharf]

Yeah it looks good. It looks like you're taking breakout trades as price reverses on a small timeframe.

[night flicker]

and this is on RTY

[wraith wharf]

kind of like this new ES trade right?

[night flicker]

we are supposed to have a long here but I don't like these hours

[night flicker]

wait I'll take a look

[night flicker]

wouldn't take a consolidating trade here, it broke higher and held it a little

but it did fail to break that low

so yeah we are supposed to go to the highs

but again, these hours... I always stay away from these hours usually

btw, if you take the trade, the entry is a bit under

like this more or less

[wraith wharf]

Ah okay. Interesting.

[night flicker]

the good thing about this strat as well is, usually if the trade is valid but the price wants to go against you, you won't get the entry

sometimes you'll have a big candle pushing for the sweep / stair stepping / whatever so your entry would be at the high of that candle

for example, lets say you wanted to enter at this top, you'll enter at the wick of the red candle

even a tick under

sometimes you'll get ticked in as well and lose lol but its part of the game

if the entries are 100% valid and you got a good grip on the price direction (consolidating / trending) you'll get a good RR + WR

it is just something that I need to get a bit better at live trading

at replays for day that I didn't see before I got good WR + RR, but at live I fuck it up

[wraith wharf]

Yeah, can't always land perfect entries but the concept is working

[night flicker]

yep, just needs a bit more learning

kk I am off to sleep

gl everyone who are still trading

[wraith wharf]

Can always have a preset limit then snap it to where you want the entry. Lol idk

[night flicker]

we might have gotten a stair stepping on ES

[tired plume]

hey so sorry if i've asked before but have you outlined your strat somewhere around here?

[night flicker]

so looking at 79-ish

[night flicker]

not really, it is basically an upgrade from the double wave strat, after testing the double wave we found a few problems:

1. Consolidating days will fuck you up.
2. we don't always have a day bias.

So we needed a strategy that can play both consolidating + trendy days without having a daily bias, so we are basically using SMC but condensed, so if price is consolidating, find the consolidating area and play sweeps, entries are kind of LTF (15s) MSS / BOS / ChoCh. If the price is trending you want to play stair stepping, for the target though, we are using the same as the double wave (extension fib) and we take TP at 0.7, many times price will get rejected a bit before and then come back for TP so we are taking it somewhere between 0.6 - 0.7 and we sometimes catch the comeback to the full 0.7 as another trade so we increase out profit.

Oh and also, if you have a trendy day and get a sweep for you direction on a small high / low, we usually enter

oh and everything is on the 1m

so like this

it can be a bit much, thats why I am still making mistakes lol

gn everyone

[wraith wharf]

Goodnight!

[tired plume]

thanks for those insights!

[cloud cipher]

you know its a crap day when PM session is almost the same size as overnight London

and aside from that opening/10am isn craziness of up and then down even Am session was mostling in that same range.

do yall have a standard timeframe you like to play with the session sweep and reversal? i know luke uses mostly 5 (or teaches the 5) and i know some end up on the 1. Is there any rhyme or reason or just whatever feels best for the setup?

I have found 3min to be very good in not getting as faked out on small moves that can happen on the 1 (but dont have the displacement required) but its still a bit faster than the 5min in picking up on the move.

[wraith wharf]

If the 3 min works for you then it works.
I switch through the 1 and 5 mins to see what my options are. Choppy days can be profitable if you can recognize it early. But for most trendy day are the best.

Hello, I need your help for the entry signals , once they print it already makes a reversal, so I noted that it usually prints them after one minute of move,
And how can we see the relative volume and shift in volume

[autumn thistle]

Is anyone interested in delta? I'm seeing something very consistent with a divergence, wanted to ask someone who uses it regularly

[loud bobcat]

I just started with LuxAlgo premium yesterday (using signals & overlays w/ scalping settings)

Anyone have any specific tips to look out for or best practices? I've watched most of the recent YT videos out.

LOTS of great strategies over in #1128499789437354106 .

[cloud cipher]

anyone get in on the 3min bearish change

[night flicker]

lmao

didn't TP on NQ but TP on MNQ

[cloud cipher]

i was stupid and had my candles colored to match CHoCH

so i missed the MSS

never even noticed it

but saw the CHoCH

so i entered way late

likely will take a L here

note to self, dont go into work meetings and then come out and enter without fully evaluating what changed lol

[wraith wharf]

You should be limiting on FVG

[night flicker]

this ES is taking too long lol

[cloud cipher]

i did, there was a small FVG on the CHoCH

[wraith wharf]

We starting to bounce from a 15m bullish FVG, longs look decent

[cloud cipher]

i saw the CHoCH, the break below hte 0 daily fib

and figured we might push down

totally overlooked that quiet little MSS in the top left

which was the real play

[night flicker]

NQ

ES

ES should go anotehr tick abovce the wick

and NQ should go even more

NQ real TP at 64

[wraith wharf]

A little secret I didnt know until this morning, you can right click on the position drawing and it tells you your risk/tp and sets the limit order This is just an example, I didnt take a trade.

[night flicker]

hit

took a small loss on ES

this is what I mean by getting wicked in and losing the trade

and took this on RTY so I don't mind the small loss

7/8 trades today, perfect WR

[wraith wharf]

why aren't you near a PC or laptop?

[toxic widget]

I am, buyt I can't play with my PC while talking on the phone

it would be disresprectful to the person I am talking to, innit?

[night flicker]

I just put a speaker and when I am focused in SL placing and TP I just don't listen and be like "sorry couldn't here you, repeat it please"

[toxic widget]

they always get my full attention. no distractions

[toxic widget]

it works if you talk to customer service lol

[night flicker]

lmao

yeah for you its the costumers who are calling right?

[toxic widget]

people I talk to are a different category

managers, supervisors, suppliers, etc

[night flicker]

yeah thats different then

plus its your own business, for me its my manager calling or a friend

[nocturne sigil]

Whats going on with futures world?

[night flicker]

daily equilibrium holding still

[wraith wharf]

I got my trade in from this morning. Depends how FOMC looks 15 to 30m after I might take a trade because it gets cleaner after the volatility. But for the most part I'm staying out

[hardy iris]

noice

nothing I like in the chart either

[hardy iris]

take those EQHs make 15m choch, might long a retrace into and FVG

[wraith wharf]

thats what we all want to know. 🙂

[night flicker]

Damn

Not near the pc sorry

But I think a little before I sent it

Very detailed, give me a sec to find it

[night flicker]

Here

Keep in mind that it is scalping

[clear cedar]

yes

[hardy iris]

Long on NDX

[hardy iris]

Partialed 80% here

[hardy iris]

Moving SL to BE

Gonna start trailing stops to profit

[hardy iris]

i might add to my position, depends how 8:30 goes and NY open

[hearty rivet]

Yoooo

[hardy iris]

supp

[cloud cipher]

i got faked out at 8.54

had mss

pulled back nicely to the fvg

after sweeping london high

3min

i should have noticed that the mss was actually triggered just because of the 830 wick and was not a true change

if im not stopped out in the next 6 min maybe i will get lucky and main opening will crash lol

given the silence i am assuming in the only one who took it LOL

[hardy iris]

im only looking for longs

i already have a position in profit from buyside run in london

looking for entry at that highlighted FVG

or higher i guess lmao

[cloud cipher]

thats nice...but that is literally opposite the strategy of sweeping previous session and looking for the reversal

[hearty rivet]

DXY is going up

So dump will happen in markets

[hardy iris]

sessions liquidity can either be sweeped or ran, if it's a sweep, u trade the reversal, if it's a run, u trade the continuation which is what I did

same for BSL and SSL runs/sweeps

so it sounds like u only trade the sweeps and not the runs, while I trade both

which is alright

also my bias was bullish at london session, i would not have considered trading any high/buyside sweep if there was one

[night flicker]

quick cl trade

and RTY

[barren lintel]

@night flicker you doing these on 1m?

[night flicker]

another one on NQ

[night flicker]

yep

[barren lintel]

Caught ES on the way down from 4624. Now is where I struggle because not 100% how far I should go

lol

[night flicker]

loss on RTY

[pliant walrus]

what does most people trade in futures here dow or s&p?

[wraith wharf]

Mostly NQ for me, I glance at ES - RTY - YM - CL - GC every now and then

[night flicker]

I trade NQ ES RTY YM mostly and sometimes take a look at CL

but I recommend you sticking to one / two tickers at first

what a beautiful NQ short

closed for me, that was enough profit

supposed to go lower

[pliant walrus]

es has been beautiful today

[barren lintel]

got out at eq

[night flicker]

another one

this was a 1:1 RR

not the best

but the WR on this is crazy then why the fuck not

this was the full NQ trade

ok I think I will stop sharing my trades now lol

I am spamming the chart ngl

[wraith wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-keyboard-smash-gif-15394889

[night flicker]

[wraith wharf]

Lol your good brotha

[night flicker]

❤️

[wraith wharf]

Im seeing what your seeing, may start giving it a shot for some nice scalps.

[night flicker]

take in with minimum volume

thats what I did

so 1 MNQ 1 MES 1 M2K 1 YM (forgot the micro)

I think its MYM

[wraith wharf]

Yeah, thats what Ill be doing. Nothing crazy but $20-50 here and there all adds up.

[pliant walrus]

1 point at a time es $1500.00 paper trading on my 3rd day. this indicator is very powerful if you already have a bunch of trading knowledge

[cloud cipher]

which indicator?

the lux ict one?

[pliant walrus]

yes im just using the candles and the matrix with trend catcher and reversal zones. Totaly helping me see when NOT to trade, which to me is the most important thing about trading. I've been trading about a year though and all the basic knowledge of price action and volume etc... makes this a goldmine in m opnion

[wraith wharf]

Lol Im just messing around with some indicators. This is kind of fun to watch. I have the 1 min candles. Then inside the big box are the 5 min candles. then the big one is the 15 min overlays.

Then the fvgs shows on all of them

[night flicker]

lmaaooo

wtf is that

[wraith wharf]

A special concoction ive brewed up

[toxic widget]

micro trading, F

noice

[night flicker]

lmaooo

[toxic widget]

3 wins, 1 loss today. where 1 win is 6 times the loss. not a bad day

missed last long on NDX, would;ve been a good one

[night flicker]

for me it was 5 wins 1 loss

not too shabby

[toxic widget]

waiting for afternoon session, although it already looks like going into choppiness soon

Dixie started a consolidation phase, after moving up so strongly

yeap, was right to take a break

[toxic widget]

seems to continue in the same way

up and down, up and down

shows little signs of breaking to the upside though

or not 😛

[wraith wharf]

I think we target highs, held pretty strong after taking sell side

Overall trend is up too

[hardy iris]

I have 15720 as HTF resistance, seems like it won't hold

Next HTF level for me is daily structure high

got these FVGs on 5min for potential entries

[hardy iris]

or not

LOL

[wraith wharf]

Ripping down. Damn

Yeah, not touching this today.

[hardy iris]

reachin for liquidity somewhere down there

no retrace

[autumn thistle]

It's right here....

[hardy iris]

whats that on SPX? i only have my HTF levels drawn on NDX

[autumn thistle]

Sorry is S&P futures.... ESU3

[hardy iris]

no problem

[autumn thistle]

Next level

[hearty rivet]

yoyo

told you guys in morning its gonna dump hard

since DXY was flying in morning

[night flicker]

damn

should've kept trading lmao

I finished too early in the day

RTY till 14:30

[hardy iris]

Equilibrium once again holds

[autumn thistle]

Put the trend catcher on that. keep you in some awesome trades.

[normal barn]

Great trading day today

[mental owl]

what is the best place or platform to trade futures

anyone

[ancient marsh]

Esssgetit

[ancient marsh]

Personal money or prop?

Interactive brokers in USA is great, Topstep the best prop firm

From personal experience

[mental owl]

Personal. Prop?

Thank you.

[ancient marsh]

Propfirm, google Topstep trading

Apex trading, etc...

But since personal money and if you live in the USA i suggest Interactive Brokers

[mental owl]

turn 4K into 230,000 in cryptocurrency in three months with leverage. Lost it all. However Learned much without any help at all. Going to use this knowledge and interact with the stock market any suggestions would be appreciated

[frosty oracle]

Damn. Wish i would've noticed this before. But I can see the waves much better after zooming out. lol

[night flicker]

yeah but those aren't waves

technically

most of them were stair stepping I think

took an L on NQ, it did a stair stepping but it wasn't a real high, was my bad thinking it was a high

[topaz olive]

What are you looking at on here ?? Like any indicators or stuff like that

[night flicker]

[foggy lark]

any broker recommendations for germany? i’m mostly gonna trade us futures

[hardy iris]

yep nothing for me today either

[wraith wharf]

[night flicker]

NQ and ES got MSS on 5m

[hearty rivet]

hey guys

had pretty heavy duty week

couldnt trade at all

just had a look at nq and it made a huge ass half a sphere

who took an entry on thi short

[wraith wharf]

Waiting for a retracement, but I dont have long before I gotta leave for an appointment

[hearty rivet]

set a limit order

the price keeps generating and manifacturing liquidities

look at the those equal highs at top, price might wanna eat those before dumping hard

also the liq of NY AM on the far left has most liquidity for those who hel shorts few days and now are getting squeezed out

[hardy iris]

EQL on 5min, gonna see if itll take it first or make a higher low

seems like resistance flipping support

HTF

too early to tell

[hearty rivet]

TP BOYS

i wish i was i had my tradovate acc open after entering trade i realized my paper was on not tradovate lol

TP was 0.5% fib from the range, look how pricely the price rejected from it

[hardy iris]

EQL swept

[hearty rivet]

on paper

[hearty rivet]

on tradovate

thank god ❤️

[hardy iris]

see how this goes

[hardy iris]

Is it just me or STOXX50 PA looks cleaner than NDX and SPX

[foggy lark]

[hardy iris]

I use Exness

If you're in Norway it won't be available

[hearty rivet]

I woke up late, PA looks really slow and wicky on the 15m at a glance. Howd everyone do today?

[night flicker]

did an oopsy and entered NQ instead of ES so closed early at a small loss then covered the loss with a small YM trade and ended the day BE lmao

[wraith wharf]

Not to shabby, break even days are good, cause its not a loss lol

[toxic widget]

same here, started OK with LSE session, then 2 good deals on NY session start, then a few messed up deals, approaching BE now or if things go well, closing with just $50 for the day

at least on my NDX, price seems to be linked to daily open, it keeps coming near it every time

so not much to play with

[night flicker]

yep lmao

[night flicker]

yep just boring day

[toxic widget]

still hope it will move to the downside on my indices, rendering at least a good end of day. if that daily open stops acting like a magnet lol

[barren lintel]

is it just slow because of EOM?

[toxic widget]

and now I can close the day with a reasonable profit on my Nasdaq. overall, a boring day

its small trades on NQ

[wraith wharf]

Yeah last few days have been pretty bad price action, not just you my friend lol

We're finally breaking to the upside. Hopefully we can see a trend here soon.

Summer months suck so bad for trading too.

Summer months I will try and only trade like 3 days a week, and if it looks good. When Fall comes around it gets better

That's why I've been sleeping in more, and less active lol

[nocturne sigil]

whats shaking here

👁️

[wraith wharf]

Waters calm over here lol

People be meditating

[night flicker]

messing with paper trading and 100 contra for the fun of it lol

don't care about the profit, just the WR since it is a hyperscalping with 1:1 RR

[wraith wharf]

Ah yeah Ive seen that before. Looks interesting as well.

[copper nexus]

yeah the saying sell in may and run away has held true for all the years ive been trading

especially august, its always incredibly slow

Wow, ES just opened 20 points lower

[clear cedar]

I don't normally trade the Asian market but this one's going to be interesting. Fitch downgraded US to AA Plus

[lyric arch]

what kinda reaction you think this has on gold? it just oppened up pretty high

[clear cedar]

The market looks ripe to take a huge dump, especially if asia continues right into EU...

"In Fitch's view, there has been a steady deterioration in standards of governance over the last 20 years, including on fiscal and debt matters, notwithstanding the June bipartisan agreement to suspend the debt limit until January 2025," the rating agency said in a statement.

[night flicker]

bruh lmao

can it be this simple?

[wraith wharf]

How's it working out for you?

[night flicker]

that was a loss ath the end lol it was 1 tick from TP

but it was the only loss basically

it was like 10 trades in those first 30 minutes (I started like 10 minutes late)

easy

nice little short

took 1:1 RR

not the best but will take it

2 minutes trade for 17 points why not lol

usually if the trade is good according to the PA and the RR is less that 1.25 than I will take the 1 line instead of the 0.7

and I placed the tp at 0.6 instead of 0.7 ffs lmao

too simple

(I tp'd too early)

[hardy iris]

More downside? Looking to run daily structure low

[hardy iris]

I guess not today

[ancient marsh]

Good luck on shorts, ive seen this before

[hardy iris]

Could be a sweep of the low, if it is ill flip long

[hearty rivet]

we swept session low

[hardy iris]

meant this 1D structure Low

[cloud cipher]

ok i will ask this and i may get flamed. this is a few min after 1pm....so the reply may simply be "it was post 1pm, end of story doesnt matter".
But this CHoCH flip at 13.30 was the first one post london low sweep.
I have read a few different ideas on where one would place a SL. I have read the first previous different candle color (so 1 in my image).
But in this case the low of that red candle marked "1" was actually higher than the Low wick of the first part of the structure that made the CHoCH.
So if you look for the first candle of opposite color that was actually LOWER than the structure...that would be 2. We actually held that by closing just above it and made a new HL based on that pullback.
I have also seen some say the previous swing....which would be number 3.

IF one was to take this play (I didnt so its truly not a pretend asking for a friend)....would the proper SL be 1, 2, or 3?

Again, i realize its post 1pm....so its actually not a valid play to begin with....but i thought it was a good setup to at least learn about the SL positioning.

although structure is still bullish, i am aware with the new HL made recently, that is the point at which structure will flip bearish...so that would likely be the make or break SL now and "its over" point if someone was in and not out yet....but i was wondering about the initial SL posted above mainly since the new HL would not be there upon entry of course

@hearty rivet

[hardy iris]

It is always at the immediate previous swing low, so no.1, which should be supported by an OB, which is the case most times

[mental owl]

Where is the best place to trade futures with leverage

[hardy iris]

or if there was and FVG, and the extreme end of the FVG, or middle of OB, or extreme end of OB, depends on your risk tolereance/ preference

why should you use no.1 low? because OB should support it, and if there was an FVG, FVG should hold it

[cloud cipher]

thanks!

[night flicker]

bro

futures is already leveraged lmao

[mental owl]

Lmao.

What platform. I do crypto. I haven’t messed with sticks

[hardy iris]

binance?

looking good I guess, seems like it really could just run the lows on daily, might have to leave this overnight and move SL to BE

[mortal nova]

Depends…if you in Europe I liked better Pepperstone and Xtb. Both have low spread on index futures. But it’s just my opinion

[hardy iris]

NDX ran the daily low

[hardy iris]

just tapped bullish FVG on daily, not gonna look for shorts here

maybe look at other indices until upside reversal is confirmed

[hardy iris]

looks like SPX would be the better intraday short

for now

[fathom trench]

By far the best algo out there.

Been killing with it. Thank you Lux team!

[tired plume]

ok, i'll post more about this later but Y'ALL. i had never really messed much with the trend catcher before a few days ago, didn't really understand it's use, but i figured a few things out (and backtested them) that have completely changed my strategy using the trend catcher (and the reversal zones) trading ES. over $1k in 20 minutes of trading. i'll post it here later but it's blowing my mind.

[wraith wharf]

Good morning!

[hardy iris]

morning

[mortal nova]

Morning to u too

[night flicker]

lol

[modest jacinth]

what strat are u using Pride for above results?

[night flicker]

don't enter this rabbit hole

feels like gambling with this speed lmao

[barren lintel]

meh, today is just not the day for me

[night flicker]

today isn't the day for normal trades

[wraith wharf]

Whats normal lol

[cloud cipher]

just to make sure im thinking right....per @hearty rivet one setup for life or whatever the name is...lol..it looks like we swept london high just before noon. so we are looking for bearish on the 1/3/5 (depending on your flavor of play) until 1pm

[opal ridge]

Scored some good ticks on this scalp

Trend catcher is your friend

[cloud cipher]

i try and stay up to date on this thread in general - but if you happen to think about it when you discuss this, could you please tag me. if not its all good and hopefully ill catch it!

[hardy iris]

yes, normally london session would be the manipulation and NY AM would be distribution, PM would be continuation

however, price doesn't always need to reverse from London session, NY AM session can either be a reversal of London, or a continuation of London, trade according to your intraday bias from what you see on the HTF

[cloud cipher]

i agree. i just now got to looking at things and realized we had not had a reversal yet

i was making sure the cutoff was not like 11 or 12 for the reversal and is indeed 1pm (at which point we shift to breaking the NY AM session)

todays bias is who the hell knows lol.....the daily candle is in the process of having a CHoCH and todays candle is the "FVG creation" candle...and as we all know, that candle can be all over the place....thus our ranging today

[hardy iris]

ideally your cutoff should be 11am, you can extend it to 12pm if you wish, but it may be slower, 12pm-1:30 is lunch, no trades during that time slot, you can put a limit order if you see an entry prior to 12pm if you hadn't taken any trades yet

[hardy iris]

seems like the play for today was from yesterday's PM session or if you were awake for Asia sessions there was an entry there for the short , draw on liquidity on daily structure low and daily FVG tapped,

[hardy iris]

pointed it out here
