for sure will!
We have bullish structures
But we took out London high
I think it will run a good run before the buy side liquidity of London becomes fuel
could reach into daily bearish OB above, with daily OTE being at the 50% level of the OB
Mhm
i personally dont think we get that high. you dont usually see it pulling back that much with a FVG nicely created, especially since when the OB was created it had already been up there twice. we are still creating the FVG today....then tomorrow we either pull back up into the FVG or range more.
yep, that's correct, just a possibility
imo 15m needs to shift bearish before any shorts
waiting on it, that's the only play i have in mind for PM
it swept the asia highs
yep
Yep lmao
ok i haven't had a chance today to write this up or anything, but i took 5 trades today and won them all. here's the SUPER basics but i'll write it up in some detail later.
basically, i'm using the 'signals & overlays' indicator, with only the reversal zones and the trend catcher on. i am using a few other LUX indicators as well, plus a weird RSI that i use, but i'll detail that later (and it honestly might not matter). i am also using a 50 SMA (i have preferred the way the SMA reacts to price, over the EMA), but also might not matter.
so here's the idea: on the 1 minute chart (that's all i've tested it on, but it may work on other TFs), watch for price to enter the reversal zones. once it clearly exits, watch price to cross the trend catcher AND for it to change color. make sure the candle closes on the color change and enter immediately on the next candle. here's an important rule: you're looking for ONLY 3 points per trade, 3 point TP and 3 point stoploss. SOMEHOW, nearly 100% of the time, on the 1m chart, when price enters and exits a reversal zone then crosses the trend catcher and it changes color, price moves AT LEAST 3 points. i took 5 trades today on ES, all winners (and saw a few more i could have taken, all of which were winners). i just scaled up contracts, knowing i was only locking in 3 point moves.
i'm also testing a few other trades with this setup that are looking amazingly high probability, but i'll save those for a more detailed treatment. for now, check this basic version out, how price reacts to this moment with the reversal zones and trend catcher. more later, but hope that helps!
which one you talking about ? š
Will check it out! Can it change to purple or do you wait until it goes to either red/green?
Also - what settings are you using? Auto sensitivity on short medium or long? Or is that off and using a setting like 12? @tired plume
Gonna test it out asap! š
Yeah - i get really different results depending on what sensitivity or auto setting i use. What setting do you use @tired plume ?
interesting. none of the settings should matter since neither the reversal zones nor the trend catcher are subject to sensitivity settings. i'll do a bunch of screenshots and demonstrate. it's actually STUPIDLY simple and it's crazy how well it works. my strategy is 3 POINTS and i'm out, and just do that 5-6 times a day (and scale up with contracts). people who wanna trade runners are gonna hate this. it's not sexy or exciting but it's consistent AF (based on my back-testing so far and trading the past few days).
but like i said, i'm ONLY trading on the 1m and on ES. not sure how this works on anything else yet.
ahh yep, it's NOT on candle color change. it's on trend catcher color change. enter immediately on the first candle after a confirmed trend catcher color change, trend catcher color change just following a touch of reversal zones. i don't use the signals, the candle colors, or literally anything else.
i AM looking at some other indicators for confirmation, but i'm just monitoring those really. literally all i'm using to actually enter trades is reversal zones and trend catcher.
not at all! like i said, itās almost deceptively simple. still canāt believe how well itās working.
sounds interesting...can you please share some screenshots when you have a moment? thanks
will do tomorrow.
thanks..much appreciated..also what times do you trade ES? morning, specific times, etc?
today, i started trading from NY market open (9:30AM ET), took about 20-30 minutes to find the handful of trades that scored me about $1k.
my rule is to trade from market open until i hit $500-1000, then stop, even if i see setups. i try to just turn it off after that. today, i was testing this trend catcher thing, took a few extra trades just to see, made another $500. CRAZY.
iāll report back tomorrow, and send some screenshots, more details.
NFP later, big moves
FVG tapped and reversed
Where is that trend catcher?
Signals and Overlays
ty
found it, thank you. How fast does it print?
It follows the trend
You just wait on a retest once it breaks and enter?
I normally wait until candle closes below trend catcher (for short) and then wait until it changes color (from green to red) and for long candle to close above the trend catcher and red to green flip
Thats just one of the confluences I use when trading
Gotcha, thank you.
moving averages converging indicator is a great confluence with this.
the free one from luxalgo
just did about 10 backtest just using those 2
Yes, that works just as well
first trade of the day, ES on the 1m. entered top reversal zone, exited, crossed the trend catcher, entered on the first candle AFTER the trend catch turned red. 3 point risk, 3 point price target. winner.
almost immediate reversed and headed back up. that 3 point rule is crucial, but makes this little strat extremely consistent.
could have re-entered long after the cross back above the trend catcher, on the first candle AFTER the color change back to green. going for 3 points again, would have been a winner.
i'm still testing some other trades in this setup, that's one of em.
price on 1m ES is deep in the lower reversal zone, watching for the cross up with trend catcher color change for trade #2.
second trade, a loss. first one i've seen in 3 days.
how big stop do u use
3 point TP, 3 point SL.
Shorted NDX, targetting PDL first
any reason for the short, H? I have opened a long there, weren't those signs price will go up?
caught a nice 0.20%
now waiting for a short
still learning ICT lol, not sure how to figure out proper liquidity against price+volumes manipulation
5m swept buyside liquidity, made bearish structure, formed imbalance so my entry would be at a rejection of any of the two, the closest one was rejected which was where I entered, my SL is at swing high because I am considering that it might fill the first FVG formed above or even trade into the OB which I highlighted with that giant red box since Lux's OBs are innacurate as to where their ranges are
gotcha
you you actually considered a channel above price to be your potential loss
based on a ladder of FVGs
I am now looking at 15415 to be the price level I expect action around
yeah, it's down to risk tolerance, other ICT traders would use the extreme end of and FVG they entered in as SL, riskier but greater RR
yeah that would be the lower range of the bearish OB
which is also a breaker block
I based my logic against the way a MM would trade, which is they would attempt to recover at least half of that red candle triggering the FVG
if price not strongly rejected, I would pusg higher
towards first red candle
yeah that makes sense, but I don't like this PA lmao
caught the first short of the day, which was slowly building
this recent move was just luck, anything could've happened lol
was it the one after the london killzone?
the one that started at 5:25 if im not mistaken
ahh alright
had a qucik reversal but then price continued to the downside, slowly but surely
closed a few minutes before 1:30pm, when the chaos started
incoming data, learned it the hard way
never have running deals around 1:30pm lol
lmao yeah i learned the hard way too before
Good morning. Hope everyone is doing well.
What's your settings for LuxPriceAction? I'm on Pepperstone and my zones percentages were more spreaded after 15260 @hardy iris
Didn't trust that triangle pattern š© but at least it gave me less confidence in a bearish reversal.
you mean the blocks?
gearing up for trade 3 as ES approaches the upper reversal zone on the 1m.
lmao yea
mofo mms need weekend money lol
well it rekt both sides rofl
Yeah
Case study for @tired plume : Based on your strategy rules do you buy on 1 (white) or 2 (blue)? On the short it worked like a charm as it was immediately confirmed by LAS
yep, i would enter on that second green candle (if that's the first one AFTER the confirmed trend catcher color change). i would also have entered on at the top, on the first candle after the confirmed catcher color change. and again, i'm using all white candles, don't pay attention to candle color changes.
and these are usually good for more than 3 points, but that's how i keep my win rate HIGH.
Well lux's OB ranges are mostly incorrect so I don't use the ranges it shows
Yeah that's weird we get different values on overlays. I'm using default values for Price Action.
There are times when it would show wicks as OBs, but OBs are never wicks, they are strictly bodies of candles
not sure how and why the catcher looks like this on others charts
mine is more linear than ever
Ticker is PEPPERSTONE:NAS100 if you wanna check it
shouldn;t it be way more close to candles?
saying in general, not relative to a certain asset
it used to follow prices very close
old version I mean
Probably coz of the impulse unmove then the impulse down move, from my observation the catchers is some kind of tweaked moving average
remember old version? tracer would've never been closer to candles than catcher
and now look above in my chart
:)))
That checks out. Mine is 1 min TF. On five minutes they look the same
Put a 50EMA over ur chart
so I'm not crazy lol
@mortal nova @tired plume from my understanding the white area i circled is your ideal entry area. Basically exact close of the confirm candle/immediate open of the next one catcher confirmed.
lmao
actually, i'm pretty sure the second green candle there, with the 1 under it, would have been the first to open after the color change. in either case, that's the rule: first to open after a confirmed catcher color change. regardless, that would have been good for 3 points. š
If i got that right @tired plume would enter on red cross and then on green.
as far as I remember, old catcher looked something like this:
ES 1m is in the top reversal zone. looking for a trade.
Yeah same, about a year ago iirc
it's very linear now, and less responsive to small changes, from what I can see.
not a bad thing, I might add
but if you;re used to old ways, change is bad lol
yeah, that's probably right. i would play it back on reply and just see which one was the first after whichever candle closed confirming the catcher color change. but that's basically it!
The first visible green line is the span between that first green and second green, so it was the second green candle that confirmed the change šš»
But yep - semantics - win either way š
@tired plume i did do one premarket trade that lost. But it was indeed premarket - and was still in the reversal. Main thing i saw was it entered reversal and then catcher changed, so i took it.
Should i have waited for it to exit the reversal zone? Or was it just a straight up loss (likely because premarket sucks)
interesting. yeah, i never trade before/after market hours. signals just aren't as reliable. but yeah, i would have waited for it to EXIT the reversal zone.
ES 1m just exited the top reversal zone, watching the trend catcher now for a short trade.
Yeah. No worries - i did 1 micro just to test because I know premarket sucks - just had fomo and wanted to get in š
i totally get it!
Premarket i would maybe look for like a 1-2 point win - even 3 points seems HUGE outside main marketā¦or just not play lol
there were at least two 3 points trades just after hours yesterday that were winners.
man, i love the trend catcher. price dips below it, sometimes a LOT, but if it stays green, no trade. keeping me out.
headed back up to the reversal zone.
Color rule saved the day š
honestly, it's kept me out of some VERY tempting looking setups that failed. can't believe i had never used it before this week.
I am convinced today that footprint is worth learning more than normal trading
even if i'm testing another strategy, i leave trend catcher on and DO NOT go short if it's green, or long if it's red, just as a rule now.
One of my favorite strategies - also uses catcher as a primary confluence
Similar idea - uses signals though instead of reversal zones - but catcher always key
I love scalps with futures. Futures can be so unpredictable the faster you can get in and out the better
@tired plume have you established how long an exit from a reversal would/should be valid to watch for the flip before it is no longer associated with the exit?
Example
This was 3hours before it went red after that exit lol
Normally it wonāt be that long - but i wonder if the flip should happen in X min post reversal zone exit or itās no longer āgoodā
On strong signals I add a buy position (50% of size) when it touches SL1. Then set my SL at SL2 and if it runs up i move the SL (in profit) to previous HL. This way i just let it run untill it hits Tp or a change of signal.
yooo
What would be great is to a have a two lines to indicate where a buy/sell signal would be triggered. I asked for it in "User Feedback".
that's an awesome question, and i have done some digging around but minimal testing on that. i also only trade this on the 1m. but even in your example, that would have been a winner.
Hopefully they'll reply. Even a line between SL1 and TP1 would be a great add.
Take profit where? at TP2 set on 3 points?
WINNER.
Never mind - mine was lagging
Iām on a delta flight right now lol
Stupid WiFi
I love how fast this strat is
You either win or lose and are done
what is optimal nomber of profit points on NQ?
Anything > 0 lol
yes! quick win or loss (but MOSTLY wins), rinse and repeat.
Thanks Derek for this strat
of course! i'll write up something legit with some additional trade setups using this strat soon.
there are for sure a few other super high probability trades you can take using the trend catcher. there's an amazing continuation in trend trade, a 50 SMA cross trade, a few others, all VERY dependable so far (as long as you stick to that 3 point rule). more info coming!
imho the trend catcher is best to show you when not to trade. When its flat DONT trade. knowing when to NOT trade to me is the most important.
there are a few other things you can add that really help provide signals to AVOID, or to at least be aware of and more cautious (trade fewer contracts, etc), which i'll include.
totally hear that, and you're right! i have mainly been focusing on this reversal zone entry strat, been working like a CHAMP.
thats awesome. I trade S&P taking 4 ticks at a time, only 2-3 trades a day. ES 1 min 6 contracts at a time. In and out.
moral of the story: the trend catcher is DOPE. can't believe i'm just discovering it.
That and the color candles. If its purple I just dont trade.
just passed this account with one trade lol
added 100$ more so i can open close trades till 7 days pas
thank god
Let us know the strategy š
Nice! Are you using a certain LuxAlgo pro strategy?
How many trades?š and is the strategy just to keep buying and selling super fast ?
Itās one trade I just reduce size or increase size of contracts
Because I go in heavy
Whatās your strategy ? If you donāt mind me asking
The setup was between both bullish and bearish as somehow price managed to grab liquidity of both sessions form CHOCH or MSS on same price line as well as FVG on each lool
After I saw price respecting Premoum PD arrays in terms of FVG I started sizing in
Closed as soon as I passed the account though I was looking for 600-800 ticks easy and very aggressive thank god
Iāll show video today although itās same strategy on my YouTube
Whatās your YouTube channel calledš ?
Sheeeh yea nq Can be aggressiveššš½ af
I mostly trade oil and oh mannn that thing is WILD!!
Oil is crazier I think
Yess it definitely isš¹ you literally donāt know when itās going to spike or when itās going to dump
Cl futures will make you lots of money if youāre in the right trade
TA on oil is very good
Iāll make live stream on Lux discord today or maybe just a video
Do you have any recommendations of any traders or strategies on oil ?š and yess iāll definitely be tuning in!!š„
OHH so itās like FVG on the luxAlgo?? Indicator premium
But you draw them manually correct ?
Is that the one you have on your video the most recent one ? The one that shows NY pm and so on ?
Yes sir
im definitely gonna use it Thank you!!! And Is it called āfree sessions indicatorā
yw
nah dm me for ;olink
I will
any of u guys got a trade manager?
for example if my stop loss shouldnt exceed 100$ what size of contracts i should use
@cloud cipher there was someone who made that
Subscribed! š
yeeeee ā¤ļø
the calculation is basically:
max loss / (sl size * leverage)
so lets say you enter a trade on NQ for 5 points sl it would be:
100 / (5 * 20) = 1
so 1 NQ and if you get less then 1 then its just micro
The Smart Trail Helper is an add-on indicator for the "Smart Trail Tap" using the premium Lux Signals and Overlays, and optionally the Lux Oscillator Matrix.
In settings choose the specific aspects of the Lux indicators and set your TP and SL levels and when a valid tap occurs the indicator will popular a background change as well as your TP an...
@hearty rivet - it was designed for the smart trail tap strategy, but if you use this indicatorā¦in settings you can set predefined loss and it will tell you how many cons
But it is likely easier to just setup what pride did in excel and have a little formula do it
what does the 100 stand for
wait why would u times 20
1 point = 4 tick. 5 points = 20 ticks
thanks
each tick is $5. $5 x 20 ticks = $100
thats not why lol
each NQ point is 20$ which means that it is leveraged by x20
Now add the cost of living š
Thank you
thank you bro, im asking if its lesss than 1. how many micros exactly
can you help me set it up in excel
what about ES @night flicker
š
Whats your average sl for ES and NQ?
And in ticks?
Where you set your SL? Recent swing high? Session high/low?
ticks shouldnt matter as long as my risk isnt above 250$
if strong displacement candle forming MSS has big fvg then stop loss at below it
if price is near a swing low then ill put it there
sorry, what I meant is, whats your average sl? the thing is your SL isn't a set one so you'll need to calculate it every trade
plug in the stop loss size in this calculation:
NQ: 300 / (sl size * 5)
ES: 300 / (sl size * 12.5)
So wether my stop is 50 ticks or 100 ticks
sl size in ticks
yep exactly
Awesome
you can do in excel really easy and then everytime just change the sl size
I can send you one if you want later on today
@night flicker say it says 1.3 contracts. Is better to open 13 micros or 1 mini and 3 micros? Is micro and mini same movement or slower or ?
Havenāt used micros in ages
it is almost the same move but keep in mind that personally I take a few ticks less for TP and a few ticks more for SL
sometimes MNQ is a bit faster / volatile
better to take 13 micro btw
unless you want to just take 1 NQ at this point
Wondering why was there no SELL signal?
because you have only strong signals on
there was probably a sell signal but without a +
a strong sell signal only triggers when you get a sell signal + lux candles change colors
so the candles were probably either green or purple and you got a sell signal
keep in mind that this worked in hindsight, doesn't mean it will work everytime
I'm with @night flicker on this one. you can't just take trades based on those signals. They should be just considrered another indicator.
I don't think he is just trading the signals, seems like he has 2 more indicators with 2 MA and some type of S&R
the thing is, you can't catch every trade, it won't happen, the fact that he didn't get a strong signle doesn't mean that its a bad thing. We need to remember when we build a strategy that adding another filter / confluence doesn't always mean more profit, it can increase the WR but decrease the RR or give less signals
you need to take many thing into account when building a strat, one missed trade doesn't mean that the strat is bad
ā¤ļø
Morning!
Sunday, Sunday
Been busy with some personal life things but later during the week I should be more active.
Let's kill it!
Shorted ndx
Got stopped lmao
its MONDAY!!!
Here is a check list for you guys
That's amazing! I love trading the 1 min. I'm going to try this out. Can you please explain a bit more on what you mean by 3 points?
Anyone bullish on uk100
What's this volatility lmao
NY woke up
missed 2 trades earlier on and closed 1 too early.
should I finish the day with 355$? lol
considering closing the program because it's monday lol
@agile jasper has earned the Lux Level 3 role!
bye š
@nocturne sigil cookie for me?
you made 440$ right?
i did yes
cool. and i set a 3 point take-profit and a 3 point stop-loss. risk 3 points to make 3 points.
danggg she making one hell of a mess. lol
ES 1m, took the short after touching the top reversal zone, crossed trend catcher, entered on the first candle after the trend catcher color change. 3 points, winner.
LOL
could have re-entered on the next candle, on the cross under the 50 SMA, would have been another 3 point winner. now watching for a touch of the bottom reversal zone for trade #2.
price came VERY close to touching the reversal zone, but didn't. gonna watch this one in terms of playing a trend catcher trade.
looks like it could be timed with a cross above the 50 SMA, which would be good confluence.
cya tomorrow
Took this one too @tired plume
Looks like i was late in the image, but i got in right as candle was closing that confirmed catcher flip
nice! i know this style isn't for everyone, but i personally LOVE my high probability, small moves. i'll grab 3 points like 4-5 times in a day, good consistent profits.
hey @nocturne sigil, if i have a strat i want considered for #1128499789437354106 and it uses one non-lux indicator, is that kosher or no?
@tired plume has earned the Lux Level 2 role!
Unfortunately, the guidelines state that even the free Lux indicators need to be kept to an absolute minimum, and to concentrate on Premium LuxAlgo
If its a basic TV MA indicator, with Premium Lux, then that is fine
Shoot it to me in DM, and maybe we can figure this out to be posted....
probably same rules as which indicators you can share right?
as long as its open srouce its fine(?) or did they change it already?
The actual Pro-Strategy guidelines differ from the overall Discord rules.
my trades today lol
NICE !!!!!!!!!!!
look at the avg time in the market lmao
ohh I see, thanks
ok! that makes total sense, and if anything i could use the TV MA. thank you!
Yes, shoot it over to DM when you are ready, we can make it work and still an effective strat to post.
trade #2, trading off the bottom reversal zone, trend catcher color change, 3 points winner. 2/2
I don't have any strats that are using lux indicators
We need more futures strats !!
I am here for the community more lol
but I will forsure try and build one because we need more futures traders
YES, community has so much value here!!!!!!!
i swear y'all. this reversal zone/price catcher strat is š„ . i'm for sure gonna write this up for #1128499789437354106. really, those two elements are all you need. losing my mind.
it's insane how high probability that little combo is, on the 1m ES at least.
Lots of members here just for the community as their #1
NICE, cant wait!
yep, because it costs money and we have great traders here who take 0 BS lol
so most trollers / degens won't pay the money and talk trash here
This Lux community is unique as you know, for the most part, we all learn and help each other. Really. This what makes this so adicting to log in everyday!
@tired plume close one - but it won like you said - inside the golden zone and near fibs is always iffy
+picked up the FVG
i thought you're done for today?
Yep - just trying to stay true to his basic setup of catcher flip and 50 sma
ahh yep. i actually entered on the candle before you did, the purple one on your chart. the trend catcher was confirmed green on the close of that previous one. but yes, a winner either way!
just analyzing what people send here
don't have much to do atm so why not lol
yeah, just adding to what you said, it isn't weird that the price pulled back a little
doing the same after i close the programs. lurk in #š±forex-chat and #š¬hangout
Ya too far now after the tap in my opinion
But maybe not - still kinda high and far from the bottom
that trend catcher color change came a little late AND price didn't even quite touch the top reversal zone, but STILL a 3 point winner. 3 for 3!
I donāt get when you enter
Itās not hit 3 yet
This is based on the close of the candle that flip the catcher
Purple candle closed green:
It wasnāt until the red candle that catcher started to flip
So i put entry at close of that red candle that confirmed the catcher flip
@tired plume
i'll try and post the trades later! i'm for sure working up screenshots and rules to post.
Cool. Not trying to be rude - just basing the entries im tracking on what we have talked about thus far
absolutely! and, that was still a 3 point winner, yes?
Good morning, looks like NQ trying to target the sell side at 15336.5
Finally, Just now lol
so did you enter this short on that first red candle or the second one? sorry, without hollow candles i can't tell which ones are bullish and which are bearish.
I probably would have already bailed earlier though when it tapped the 38 fib as it could have easily reversed off that.
yep i hear that. once i get my entry, i am just entering and trusting my 3 points in both directions. not even watching em till they close.
The entry was the close of the candle that flipped the catcher
Previous candle was still solid green catcher on its close
yeah, i would have entered here. you can see that the catcher was red and coming down to that candle, which means it was confirmed. you would have hit your 3 points way sooner in that case.
The mans make bread!
Same!
This is incorrect. It is not confirmed until the close of that candle
in either case, glad it was still a winner for you.
It would have turned red, yes, but could have flipped back green at any point
i hear you. that's where i entered and grabbed my 3 points.
In fact the previous candle flipped red a few times but ultimately closed green
Almost to target
Just be aware when you post the Strat. When you say confirmed that means candle closed
yep, fully aware of that. thanks.
šš»
like i said, i'll post the trades i took with some screenshots later, for anyone interested in this lil strat. good luck everyone!
can you tell me with pro strategie it is?
writing it up today, will share later.
thanks buddy
stock-futures-chat?
FUTURES gang is back!!!!!
hello š
Yessss
what happened here? intercourse between stocks and futures and this is the result?
they had a mutant baby
this
Hahahahahaha

Now lets start the chat back upā¦.after this maintenance downtime
Whose got ES long?
LOL
Ticks?
Points?
Whenās contract roll over?
(Iām trying hereā¦.work with me peopleā¦.)
I agree
what maintenance? what am i missing
@nocturne sigil you have something to do with this combo thread didnāt you
Messing up whatās not broken lol
Your right, the futures chat room was not broken, so Lux brought back the futures chat threads to the forefront....
Everything is good, the community is growing in a good way, so feedback with improvements can be a happy marriage in the end

This community heavily relies on you! @nocturne sigil
Appreciate it
hello; new here- any good video to familiarize with luxalgo indicators?
HEY W E L C O M E
Take a look here:
Then we have our new forum #1128499789437354106 where Lux and members have been posting some great strategies with settings and set-ups
Any questions, give me a tag, here to help!
@hearty rivet Where you've been?
I got scammed with baby pacifiers from Amazon so I went to sleep early

OMG
4H ES
4H NQ
Im liking this NQ action below these 4H OB's
4H Dow
Nice rejection here
I like OBās at wicks. I think itās all relative. Wicks or body, all relative, as long as your consistent with your template and rules
I miss using supply demand zones
My last 3k trade was using ict combined with supply demand
The dont stop using them
Right?
I see a strong mf breaker block at ur last pic
Supply demand with ICT is so good
Okay I slept since 7 pm till now 8 am
Today Iāmma make as many videos as I can haha
@toxic widget @copper tiger hey guys I told you we will take a bounce so look for long yesterday up until the bearish fvg in which we will then be dead on bearish mode for next couple of days.
Price bounced exactly from the 50% enchroachment of daily bullish FVG like I also mentioned yesterday
Now this is my game plan
We will go up towards the bearish imbalance formed with the bearish MSS on the daily
Then our target would be these equal Lows on the daily
Thatās triple lows on the daily . Itās the major target price will likely to go to. Taking these lows then going back up to fvg will leave no target liquidity to aim for the algos. However going into the fvg or a close to it then those triple Equal lows will be an amazing target liquidity for algos to rush to
We understand where algos have there entries but these entries are never valid unless an target liquidity is known
I Know we have the gold traders around. I think we need to wake them up a bit. They usually crawl out a little before NY open
Hello guys, hope you have had a great start of this week.
My question is, why is the current price for MNQ is different from NinjaTrader and TradingView?
Current_Price:
TradingView > 15,422
NinjaTrader > 15,430
Please advise
Depends on exchange u get ur info from
I think this is called arbitration or arbitrage
Yooo guys today letās take trades together
Yeah!! NAS100 on 1M TF?
Usually they set the price lower but replicate the index. It allows them to use less capital when covering positions

Power hour time fits everyone I guess
What best time zone to use @copper tiger

i don't have a schedule, i'm sorry it's just totally unrealiable
Anytime is ok for me Luke .. only 1 hour difference between us lol š¤
I can join at work , home , bar anywhere 

NQ tap strat I posted is net 774 ticks on the month so far
uhg so beautiful
eastern, since thats when the market opens in NY
you would have passed by now @copper tiger
well i signed up on friday, but yeah
are you paying for live? if youre not you will be 10 mins behind
well if you started friday you would be net 183 ticks if you took them all
so up almost a grand
what strat are you using?
My guy
Great, 2.30-3 pm eastern maybe. We will have one trader explain a strategy of theirs or add onto a joint strategy we will all use and keep trading it for life, as well as learning and live trading
where?? on vip chat??
Yeah VIP VOICECHAT
thank you
please record it / archive so i can watch later
Why wouldnāt u be there
my schedule is unreliable
Idc
so you're not going to record it? lol
good advice but i'll be working at my own pace i'm affraid
yeah sure
BUT
I trade 1 RR with up to 1 min per trade
not sure I'll be useful lol
so if I don't finish the day within the first 30 minutes I'll join
@night flicker you are futures mentor @ornate raven will be stocks and maybe forex mentor. We require forex and Crypto mentors
Count me in man
Would be awesome
So 2-3pm?
Awesome my friend
Oops sorry 2:30 to 3pm
Yeah I think itās a time that fits all
Yea perfect, just before closing
Anyone here use tradovate groups for trade copying? If I place the trade in TV, will it place the trade on all accounts in the group?
Morning Micky!
Meh cant do group trades through tv.
Nah I donāt suggest using group trade from Tradovate
Use Ninja trader
Quant burnt 20 300k accounts instantly cuz of multiple execution errors
rise and shine here
Just post here what price you enter and your tp. Easy enough
tell me this was prop money and not personal cash account?
Yeah was trying to get around having to purchase the NT copier.
Prop
THE MARKET IS OPENING!!!!!
1 minute lad 1 minute

I'm gonna lose today lol
I drank too much coffee
fuck me
ANDDDD
MARKETTT
OPENNNN
cmon NQ pick a side
Good job
Guys check news
Okay guys
I told you in morning those triple equal lows are the best target for the algos
We just swept tge@
Them
think I am done
the apex copier is fucking me over every trade because of the fast entry
I cant copy with it and it made me miss like 4 trades ffs
lmao
still ,ade some profits on the ones that did copy
but I closed them early because of the trash copy
Tradovate Group Trade does not allow Bracket orders, so no automatic stops or take profit. Stops and limits have to be placed afterwards and managed manually.
Trade Groups need setup through the desktop application and I am not sure if you can trade groups through mobile app
is that failing in ninjatrader?
yeah 1rr probably too fast
Good morning!
seems like the main problem is that I made hot keys to enter quick without needing to move the price
BUT NT doesn't let you market enter it only lets you limit / stop limit / stop market and I want the stop limit
so what happens is that until it registers the entry the price already moved past it which means you cant place stop limit under the current price
I need to change it to stop market maybe
worth a try
I'm down. But for the future I don't wake up till late lol, about 30 minutes or so after market open.
it was already with market, so changed it so it places the order at price -/+ 1
hey friends, i've been testing a CRAZY simple strat using only the reversal zones and trend catcher, have been posting around here about it. just posted it up in #1128499789437354106 if you wanna check it out! https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1138474192518520842
some may not like this strat because it only grabs small moves (3 points per trade) but i have found it to be extremely consistent. hope it helps!
For ES or NQ, do you folks mainly use Signals/Overlays type of charts? or SMC PAC types?
Just wanna get a feel
just won my second trade for the day using that strat. incredible.
OHHHHHH Nice
This one right?
so far pac
cool
master pattern for averages
Speaking my language!
yes! this kinda small consistent strat PAYS THE BILLS (if you know how to scale). love it.
yep! it's CRAZY how simple and CONSISTENT it is. has totally changed my game over here.
YEAH, same with my 10 pips on FX, you have a different walk now, you have that special stride for the rest of the day, with a smile
EXACTLY
three or four 3 point trades on ES using this strategy can easily turn into $1k a day. absolutely love it.
Good work mate
You been tracking your trades in a spreadsheet by chance? Very interested
i actually don't use a spreadsheet, i get reports from tradovate. i KNOW, i should be way better about journaling trades. 85% winrate, totally insane.
hows it fair during news days? or you stay out?
i have only used it to trade on one big news day so far, and it was by accident. ha. but it performed perfectly. going forward, considering the consistency it's getting, i will absolutely sit out on news days.
I use quantower, don't have those issues.
Okay I'm going to bed early tonight, I'm on vacation and I'm gonna have to get up early to go sightseeing so I won't make it to the VIP voice chat later. 12am here
have fun adn good night!
GN
what do you mean?
aren't you just grouping them together?
nono I think I got it fixed
But I got a limit order for PM session. Normally I will actively manage it at PM but I can't tonight. Idea is that HTF is bearish structure, 15m and 5m bearish, SPX ran sellside on 5m TF, I waited for bearish BoS and FVG but look for entries after 8:30, it made EQH below FVG at AM, I expect it to sweep those EQHs and tap into that FVG I highlighted to target closest reasonable target, which is that swing low. SL at swing high above highlighted FVG because that's my risk tolerance.
See yall tomorrow
Take care @hardy iris
We are respecting the daily FVG and OB, nice movement to the upside, getting some bullish MSSs. Could see a nice move back to the upside before we head back lower.
We've got daily MSS to the downside so I'm looking for more downside movement on HTF
Unless it's just wanting internal liquidity then dumps again, well see
look at this CB had this number this morning TP1 29722
CB?
sorry wrong room
@cloud cipher Hows the smart trail helper been working?
ok cause my groups are working just fine
what a fucking tap damn
113 ticks with -35 trails
Hot damnnn
My guy! Exactly. I mentioned this yesterday as well
You are a beast
My last trade was 5 cons but was sweating blood loool
the red dash is SL if it hits that im out
then I take 1 off at 40, and set trails to -35 so the other 4 at least getting 5 ticks
This using the Trail Helper? Default settings?
then I t ake one off at 60 and 80 and let the last 2 ride into the promise land
And i remember I was in shock that itās too big of a sl. Few months later, my stop loss if itās 500$ I say thatās nothing

Jae id like you to share this trade and how you did it for the rest of us on todays live session if you can
@ancient marsh forgot to mention you earlier, tune in
Derek share this strategy aswell please on the session
i clicked buttons with my eyes closed and hoped for the best
you know....simple stuff
hey if you are consistent with it? share it today
Yeah i know, share your input on this trading strat today in the call and those who got consistent strats today can share theirs, then we should all decide on a strategy that we can stick to and trade together everyday or whenever an opportunity arises
Tap strat not been great
me, mich, air, xclusive and aggie i think did this for few days and it was extremely joyful
i'd like this to continue and last longer than few days
another banger
when hasn't it been great?
School starts next week then ill have more time to listen and talk on a call
How was it last week?
last week was net -16 ticks
not including monday
Thats not great
on the month we are net 1872 ticks with how I run it
Not printing money like usual
sweet
not every day going to be perfect
Excellent work š
Aggie id like to note out that most successful traders are not green every day or every month
Lol
over a quarter, they are green
today alone is 1100 of that 1872
I been trading since 2005 i know this
Im old man
it is effiecent this week, why wasnt it last week. Market condition-limited? Lots of news? etc
Chop
Nice
We can deduce that tap strat strategy isnt as effiecent in choppy markets
same
thats when we introduce a strat that is effiecent in choppy markets and use tap strat in non-choppy conditions
You can ask Jae, i think they backtested it
I dont know how to do all that
I dont like backtests
We will do forwardtesting
my strat has been forward tested and still ongoing for couple months on SPX500
I forward tested the tap strat in this room for probably 2 months
day 1 of a new eval
We not looking for testing strats we looking for group trades. Green light from one person and redlight from another person we stop and investigate.
Overall green or red?
Very green
Awesome, ill be opening a new eval today
There you go
We are here not to see who has best strat but to make money and understand the why behind why we made money
The smart trail is a function of ATR from what i can tell. The colored candles are trend, so its basically and ATR trade with the trend
currently up 30 points on ES
wish this setup happend in 15 min so. ican show live aha
anyway good we can talk about it
what are your settings for the STH?
Nice! with which Strat?
present and awaiting
pretty choppy choppy
mine is still running, started exactly below FVG, but way way sooner
ignore that grey box ill remove. its NWOG
that move down was like 0.1 to my SL lol
nice one Aker
would love you to share your entry on the live today
i got stopped on nq, price went $3 below lol
also, tradovate froze!
i was like wtf
We all entered similiar place, i entered using ICT, Jae using tap strat, you entered using your strat. We should take turns to explain the reasoning behind it
Also one of us should always start with explaining daily bias for the day or next day or next few days
get familiar with Tradovates ATM
i made a preset
my SL was 15145 š
hehe
crazy close
my tip fo ytour BT and Aker is to put a bracket of 100 tick tp and 40 tick stop loss for your ATM, so when you enter your trade your safe then adjust it accordingly
started it short after 3:30pm my time
hehehe
i don't care if i blow the 25k account practicing, because i bought two more 50k
25k is only $1500 trailing, which is probably not good for multiple nq contracts
nice
should've let last long run, at least half
very good
day over for me
1 BE long 1 current long in profit
exactly
too slow moving for me, I was expecting an impulse move
15360ish
that's why I closed
NWOG is there, price will hover over there
good idea aker
we have been respecting premium PD arrays since morning
initially I wanted to leave half running to target daily open
then I noticed the pace
gave up
Luke what's the settings for the tap indi, can't get it to show shit on my charts
(assuming that you're using it?)
i didnt use it yet, you can ask aggie or jae for better info about it
nice one
few ticks away from tp
okay hit t
TP

hey gang, for anyone who was testing out the strat i added today over in #1128499789437354106, i just added a few additional confirmations:
Additional rules:
-I have found that this strategy performs best during the first half of the NY session (I primarily use it from 9:30AM-11AM ET).
-DO NOT take a long trade if price is close to the top Reversal Zone, DO NOT take a short trade if price is near the bottom Reversal Zone (this would be the case in a tight ranging market).
-For additional confirmation, add the Smart Trail and only take trades when the Trend Catcher and the Smart Trail agree (for long trades price should be above the Smart Trail, for short trades price should be below the Smart Trail).
-If price is FAR from the Smart Trail, you're safer taking the trade even if the Smart Trail disagrees, as you're only looking for 3 points.
the smart trail can be pretty key for filtering out losers, BUT it also filters out a decent amount of winners. so, that would be the more conservative approach and an option if you're looking to filter false signals, especially in more ranging markets. hope this helps!
Good work Derek
Would love if you could showcase this strategy tomorrow on our daily live session voicechat
thanks! i have a very weird work kinda schedule so sometimes it's hard to know when i'll be free and for how long, but would love to try and do that.
this gonna be a daily routine?
Yeah
love it
@tired plumes strat ain't hard IMO, gonna paper trade it tomorrow probably
can come to the daily ones only if you're doing it from the carpark
