Does anyone think ES is turning right now or going to continue to range?
trying to figure out with this setup what going to make me think its turning? I would say the triangle in the matrix and that it is in the reversal zone. The problem with the reversal zone is it can hang in there a long time before actually reversing.

You should go with a Live account for sure eventually its way better. I know the Prop firm TakeProfitTrader is good with day one withdraws but you can only draw like 50% until you build your buffer. Then its 80/20 slit until you get their pro account. But regardless its day 1 withdraws

Heres NQ 1H chart. For further projection
Drew this up real fast, not a lot of time to chart right now. Just an idea

Dont forget to check HTF too for more accuracy

Heres NQ 1H chart. For further projection
Yeah it either this or they will fill in the imbalance they made!!! Major liquidity now resting under 14930 so they may sweep that!!!
wraith wharf
Yeah thats a possibility as there are equal lows there. We have some good displacement up on higher time frames so itll have to disrespect those PD arrays and if that happens then Im thinking we continue lower if thats the case. Because that would cause a HTF MSS

first target was actually hit I didn't check the RR again after adjusting the SL
NY end is like a little bonus
so main money is on NY start and on NY end you are getting your extra 15 - 60 points usually (Average exit would probably be around 10 - 40 points)
wraith wharf
I still feel theres more down play to happen, trend is down still like crazy, action will probably slow down too.
With Feds talking tomorrow action will be either really crazy to crappy until the talk
Nice retest of OB and push up.

no rush :)))
night flicker
yep,
points are important but if you have risk managment the points doesn't matter, you can always change the volume
toxic widget
jokes aside, hope nobody expected good news today. it is just a matter of timing your trades right, so you don;t get caught in the algos chase for SLs during the high volatility period
usually, best is to just use an extremly tight SL
if it goes in your favour, magic
high volatility will eventually push prices in the desired direction fast and strong
if your SL is taken, you lose almost nothing
not to mention on my chart I could've just use 15000 to short lol
you can;t get a tighter SL than that, the roundest value possible lol

I did a little hyper scalping this morning myself. Although only did 3 trades, 2W - 1L, still $240 on the day, 1 con.
night flicker
after TP, SL moves to:
TP 1: 918
TP 2: 850
rule of thumb, if TP 1 is reached, just stay in the trade

Vvix sitting at 84.32 and in a down trend. Longs all day long! Don’t even try to short. Anything below 85 and you try and short is just giving your money away.

Its defintely not the same, but at the POC from friday people rentered long so far
Will it test the upper end of where they sold it Friday, thats another question
night flicker
Its all bout risk management
thats rule number 1
many people started talking in R points
when I went live here I did the same thing, always looked at RR and not the points
ancient marsh
thats rule number 1
All the experts, no one teaches this
night flicker
many talk about it but not many explain it
ancient marsh
Not you of course just in general
There are so many ways to make money in the market
night flicker
one of the first rules that my friend taught me was:
Most traders risk about 1% per trade and have a target of 2% per day, meaning that you need atleast 2 RR to get this and when you get to a 1% loss or 2% profit you stop trading for the day.
You can also know the # of trades lost / won to calculate how much you can risk per trade $ wise.
ancient marsh
But you can give 100 people a strat and 95 will still fail bc they dont know this
ancient marsh
one of the first rules that my friend taught me was:
Most traders risk about 1% ...
To each their own, but 1% is to high for me.
I look for .24-.5
night flicker
per trade or overall?
night flicker
the 1% meaning that if you are willing to lose 3 trades in a row you risk max 0.33% per trade
ancient marsh
There we go, same idea
night flicker
yep
ancient marsh
You got good advice
night flicker
glad that we went into the details isntead of saying it in general.. many people talked about it here but no one explained it like we just did
simple to explain, hard to really understand
night flicker
thats perfect money management
ancient marsh
Took 4, 400 dollar losers
Was down 1600
Didnt bat an eye because i knew the odds in my favor
Thats not the time to go smaller
Because scared
night flicker
yeah.. theres also the rule of trusting the strategy
night flicker
many times I went for like 1 - 2 ticks away from sl (in my hyper scalping) and I was like "meh it will take the TP" and I went out with TP lol
ancient marsh
Reason traders fail
- Poor risk mgt
- Dont trust stat
- Emotions take control
Emotions make #2 happen
night flicker
emotions make everything happen lmao
ancient marsh
Fax
night flicker
seen trader be like
"I took a loss for 400$ so if I take double the size now I will take 800$ and be done for the day"
ancient marsh
Shdnt make risk mgt happen but i guess it does
night flicker
or even worse:
"strat says SL here, but I still think it will go in my favor so I'll take bigger SL"
ancient marsh
Reason traders fail
- EMOTIONS
tough dock
or even worse:
"strat says SL here, but I still think it will go in my favor so ...
i dont make mines bigger i just move it which is worst!!!
night flicker
yeah thats what I meant
ancient marsh
If you want to move your stop, just exit the position
night flicker
if you trust your strategy you shouldn't touch anything
ancient marsh
Because its gonna hit it
night flicker
a good strategy is a strict one
tough dock
If you want to move your stop, just exit the position
but i cant because i gonna miss the move hahah
ancient marsh
You will miss it if you move your stop
night flicker
whenever I have BE days or small profit days I say to myself "at lest not a loss"
you should look at it the same way, if you exit early with a small loss its better than a big loss
ancient marsh
Listen, the fear of fomo is better to have than the fear or having to win
night flicker
so if you thinking of moving the SL it means you don't trust the strat for now
meaning you have emotions involved... meaning you are not trading you are betting
tough dock
so if you thinking of moving the SL it means you don't trust the strat for now
you gotta martingale that babay and hold on tight

In the game of sports, there are strategies they play to win the game.
You have to let your strategy play out or get stopped. Doesn't mean your wrong the market just moves how it wants to.

Martingale means, double the next bet, to compensate for your previous losing bet. This lingo used a lot in binary trading. Anyways, it's not an english word,
lethal rapids
Reason traders fail
1. EMOTIONS
Emotional control is key.
Something I continue to struggle with every day.
Spend 4 months building up futures accounts, and ruined it in 48hrs going into a manic emotionally unstable state.
Doesn't matter if you're excellent at trading, and have a high win rate. If you can't manage your mind and reaction to things not working out as expected or moving against you fast.

Would probably skip the NQ micro sessions trade today.. lets see how NY 1 closes
A few things to see here though:
-
9:52 we started an up move, can be a pullback since it didn’t break the previous high.
-
NY 1 consolidates which doesn’t give us a proper direction.
-
If we break the high before 10:30 we will move down (reversal happened at 9:52)
-
If we keep consolidating I would expect it to break lower sine 9:52 isn’t a reversal and NY 1 wasn’t bearish or bullish so we are looking to keep the open move

would be better to ignore the trade
BUT the trade should be like this:
Entry - Already in @ 15089.00
SL - 15126.50 (High of the day)
TP 1 - 15037.75 (Low of NY 1, 1.35 RR) - 50% - SL moves to BE
TP 2 - 15004.50 (Low of the day, 2.25 RR) - 25% - SL moves to 15080
TP 3 - 14975.50 (Gap fill, 3 RR) - 25%
TP 1 hit
instead of BE better to move to the last high before entry so 15096.75
after TP 2 its a mistake, 15050 is the better one mb

i had two very different experiences with two traders today. i won't bother mentioning the negative one, no need to draw attention to that. i'll just say that the other trader took the time to send me a 6 minute voice memo to very thoroughly answer the questions i had about his strategy, during what was clearly his off-time with family. it helped tremendously AND was an important model and reminder of how i wish to respond to others around here. humble, helpful, and incredibly generous.
