Yeah, I’m sure other traders might find these useful. Just depends on your trading style and your chart analysis

[vapid gyro]

[copper tiger]

60k is well over the average in my city

That was nice of him to give you some. How does he trust you to give you money after losing so much? what did he say about the money you lost?

[zealous tangle]

Hi guys

I am from Moscow, Russia. I feel I need go crypto trading, it’s the only to get nice money here imho. Pls can you send me some educational guides, maybe some strategies.

About a year I’m practiced on demo on ByBit, with the Smart Money strategy. But I need full education course how to start get for example +10% min in months.

I love you guys, I hope you will all get what you want. Good luck to everyone. Believe in yourself!

[zealous tangle]

Bro I really appreciate this, thank you so much!

[copper tiger]

It's a premium tradingview indicator, not a Lux Algo indicator. I've customized this layout because it can look much different in the default setting. I don't use it by itself because it's useless to me without the Price action concepts layout that I have on the split screen. For example on Friday the ES left a weak high but price action concepts spotted a Unicorn sell signal which flushed nicely for over 10 points. Had I have only been looking at the TPO I'd have been seeing a weak high only but I believe the market wanted to flush some weak longs before repairing the high another session.

https://tenor.com/view/boom-gif-19507576

[agile jasper]

got early enough to bag 15 points NQ also

[spare bloom]

yei cought that move up but on gold

was nice

[agile jasper]

crazy pumps on gold lately

[spare bloom]

the safest buy in my life

not a single soul dare to short it

people keep buying dips

[agile jasper]

can't keep a good market down

@shell blade shorted NQ and dumped the market by the looks of it

90 points down in 10 minutes

[shell blade]

i think it will take Fridays high before a big move down , maybe even previous week high

[agile jasper]

🤔

we had a big move down on thursday already

[shell blade]

not big if you soom out i guess :))

*zoom

[agile jasper]

true

[zenith narwhal]

beautiful morning btw

[spare bloom]

i am scalping this nq buy

market is slow -.-

scalping 5-10 points seems to be safest atm

there we go

15 points done

ofc it starts moving when i closed my position lol

oh well

was an ok scalp

[shell blade]

holding this to 18405

[nocturne sigil]

Lets see 👀 what this week brings us?

[zealous nexus]

MBT is not playing nice. I think the market is just to small. Need to branch out. Looking into FOREX pairs, also Crude and Gold maybe. Any other suggestions ?

[zealous nexus]

Also...I see Mircos for a lot of these other markets...are Mircos a good option or not ?

[spare bloom]

well dont go blindly

you might lose all your money

know what you are getting into first

[zealous nexus]

I feel like none of these give big enough movements to grab good profits. So far everything I can find is basically trading laterally.

A lateral market is a crap market. Just chop.

[spare bloom]

whats a big move in your opinion

and yes this is monday what did you expect

no major news so it will chop

[zealous nexus]

This is how everything I have looked at is moving.

[spare bloom]

ny open in 3 min

[zealous nexus]

I need a market with swings I can take good profits on, not chop.

[spare bloom]

volume will be alot higher

[zealous nexus]

I dont know why these prop firms dont let you just trade regular crypto futures, I do really well on MEXC.

The movements are strong. Just need more bankroll.

[zealous nexus]

Like trading S&P futures ?

[spare bloom]

everything will be higher

it is ny market afterall

[zealous nexus]

My buddy only trades from 10-2 EST. Now I see why. Start of markets sucks and end sucks, lol.

[spare bloom]

i mean just look we already dropped 40 points in nq

[copper tiger]

Opening inside Fridays range or balance could be choppy early on.

[agile jasper]

it will be

[zealous nexus]

So you are trading Mini Nasdaqs ?

[spare bloom]

yeah

[zealous nexus]

I got to find a better bag in this prop shit.

I might look there.

[spare bloom]

alright lets hope this long prints

[zealous nexus]

Lol...wow thats crazy. To watch the market come alive like that and everything shift right at 930.

I dont see that in crypto as it is 24/7.

The shifts you get in crypto come from RU/CH coming online and you get a spike, thats the best time to make good gains is when the other side of the world cycles on as they usually copy trade what happened in the American Markets for crypto during our regular hours.

[spare bloom]

ok nice flush

wooohoooo

long printer

ez 1k ima chill now

[nocturne sigil]

If we zoom out a little, the story remains the same...

(for now)

[spare bloom]

yeah

monday chop tho so enjoing buyying at the bottom of the range selling at the top

kashkari will drop this hard tomorrow

[nocturne sigil]

Nothing yet for me

[shell blade]

done..i need to chillax befoire I lose it

still feel like nq is doing this today

[spare bloom]

gj bro

[crude ivy]

Hate Mondays 🤦🏾‍♂️ smh

[thick tree]

@nocturne sigil Hello Micky. This is from today on 80Ranfe chart NQ. How do you interpret this on Lux algo Signals and the oscillator?

[zealous nexus]

Right now I am liking Crude.

Got in on a good Short right there and still riding it.

[shell blade]

gold also moves. It swiped fridays top and prints a decent setup

not trading just learning from the PA :))

[nocturne sigil]

Not sure, as I dont know what conditions you are focusing on.
BUT, I do know with range/tick bars, the entries and exits are not precise, just like Heikin Ashi candles, these are trending candlesticks.
So we need to take this into consideration. For me, I would turn off candle coloring if I where to use range/tick bars

[zealous nexus]

Crude has a little ways to drop before it tests support, so might do decently well of this one.

[thick tree]

Thanks, Micky, I like the range bars for this environment, but I'm not sure how signals, Price action, and oscillator react to the range of ticks bars. Do you know what developers best use or base their development on? Sorry for my english, is not my native language.

[nocturne sigil]

All te premium toolkits, as well as most 3rd party indicator are developed for the traditional time based candlesticks, these other exotic bar types are trending bar overlays that do a great job for trends. But for precise price point and execution, I personal stick with time based candlesticks

[thick tree]

Ok Micky, that's one big help from you, because i was waisting sou much time trying to make the perfect setup for Lux with Range bars and i was not getting anyware.

I cant get fawking in the black to close the day ffs. I mean...

I keep breaking even.

I been at $50K since Friday.

Up and Down but end the day at $50K

FFS

I can start to trade again at 5PM CST, correct ?

I wish, lol. Its just me learning 1M TF.

Being impatient here and there. Trying to pre-read a market move and the volatility at the TF doesnt like guessing, educated or not.

Im trading on TV Desktop App with Tradovate

Gonna go play Cold War Black Ops, drink a beer smoke a bowl and wait until 5PM CT I guess.

[tender sorrel]

May I ask which indicators you are finding useful for trading CL please?

[nocturne sigil]

and there we have it
Exciting day for everyone?

Nasty 4H wicks, slow rangey action

[copper tiger]

Very rangey. Stuck between value area high and point of control. Total Inside day with no news & no catalyst. I guess the only positive take away is that we never really went much below the POC or value area low so the market did not want to provide a discount today. The weak one tick high from Friday & untested POC from Thursday really stick out.

[nocturne sigil]

Fancy

[copper tiger]

It's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & today with both TPO (green) & volume (blue), 9:30 to 16:00 RTH sessions.

[verbal tusk]

look at the Price action indicator and add the new oscillator and learn how to evaluate money flow (paid version) 1 good grade pays for the subscription many time over.

[zealous nexus]

Finally traded into profit. Thats gonna do it for me tonight.

[tender sorrel]

Thank you, I will, I appreciate it

[verbal tusk]

you will need to adjust setting depending on the time frame and watch some of the videos on it. The oscillator really helps. pick up money flow and hence anticipated price direction. Use the SR levels on the price action to know where reversals occur. Use a time frame above where you trade or even higher to get firmer SR levels. good luck

[shell blade]

good morning

[agile jasper]

morning

[tender sorrel]

Thanks again

[spare bloom]

kashkari didn't drop market interesting

thought he had some bad news to kill the market

Jp Morgan ceo made a fking 61 paper on why he is bearish lol

he is expecting 8% interest rates

but that didn't move market either cuz people don't read

ignorance is bliss I guess

[agile jasper]

i read that earlier on lol

[spare bloom]

Well I think 8% atm is impossible cuz that will litrally kill us economy and cause a big depression

higher for longer is possible

simply no rate cuts

That will drop the market but it will recover

Or powell comes out and says 3% inflation is the new normal

🤷‍♂️

But we are gonna have a bearish few months I believe in summer

[shell blade]

EU- yesterdays top swiped. 9.88 RR

[spare bloom]

Well I thought about it

Kinda don't like the way prices are moving atm

[shell blade]

i was in a meeting and missed the best entry. im rolling with it though

[spare bloom]

I might skip today market is ranging hard

worse than yday

[shell blade]

yup

[spare bloom]

Gold is super bullish but I don't wanna sell or buy

[shell blade]

ive made 300 bucks on gold in the morning so this EU is the last trade im doing today

[spare bloom]

Good luck

I want to short uj but it looks bullish

nothing is interesting for me atm

yeah this is insanity

[zenith narwhal]

is this a big event? (so no trading?)

[sweet dawn]

One of the biggest events

2. Who went to jail today?
   If 1 and 2 are <404 nothing found> == Bullish

got me daily target on futures (ES)

should've added to position though, we may take Asia high

why bother with the mess during NY sessions?

I'm in London anyway lol

ive passed a 25k eval

how many accounts you have now?

just the 2. this one ive passed and the 300k in work.. ive spend way to much money.. my problem is risk management

[agile jasper]

always wanting more

[shell blade]

exactly

[agile jasper]

a classic in trading

[zenith narwhal]

NQ really is more fun than ES.
took long, bearly hit TP, swapped for short, hit TP. out for the day

about 600$ to go for funded account 2

[zenith narwhal]

Same same. Risk management (and for me emotions) are usually killing my trades.

Strat I'm using now is; set and forget. I usually just go do other stuff and wait for the tududu sound to see if I got fucked or i won.

[zealous nexus]

My goal is to hit $51K today.

[toxic widget]

don;t you have consistency rules?

better check those again, unless you have the one trade challenge option

[agile jasper]

max 50% of your target in a single trading day

[toxic widget]

check that, Shark

[zealous nexus]

That's sounds terrible. Got to make better indicators that show you entry's and exits 1 candle stick early so you wait for the second candle(confirmation stick) after the trend change to get in. Never chase the money. If you are down then stop for the day or a couple hours and regroup also means your indicators probably arent fine tuned enough. But trading live staring at a screen is best, lots of times if I hadn't of been watching to get out right as I saw shift I'd of missed all the profits.

[zealous nexus]

I started at $50K Friday. But didn't really trade. Got up to $50,500 yesterday, want to hit $51,000 today, $53K by Friday goal. Then I'll be Funded starting next week.

Then trade roughly $1000 in profit per week minimum

[toxic widget]

you should be OK then

good job

as for the $1000 weekly, that's a pretty optimistic goal

but not impossible

[nocturne sigil]

Morning, I just posted some information in the support channel that may help others here.
The question was the noticeable indicator difference on both the NQ and the micro NQ on the same timeframe.
Here is the post link #🤝support message

• Hey there...I understand why you have noticed a slight difference between the full size NQ, when compared to the micro size mNQ.
  There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of the toolkits, all functioning properly. But why the slight difference in charts with the Price Action Concepts? In concept, we are all informed that the NQ and the mNQ are exactly the same, but difference in size, the micros are 1/10th the size of the full size contract. But there are a few aspects that are different, that does affect any indicator when compared to each other on the same timeframe. mNQ and NQ Futures contracts are two different symbols that are traded separate from each other on the CME futures exchange. The slight differences between the two are the volume, high, Low, etc. Also, the micros were introduced as a product at a much later time, versus the full size contract, thereby providing different history data. Here are the 2 weblinks from the CME directly that will show you the slight differences as far as raw price, volume, etc

☝🏼

[zealous nexus]

Once I get to 3,000 profit, everything over that up to $10K is mine then 90/10. $1000 week trading is low if you are a competent trader. I will of gotten from $50,000 to $53,000 in a week. So if I can do that or even half, then I'll be crushing it.

[toxic widget]

asset class the same, tickers diferent. volumes traded should've been the first hint always

[toxic widget]

the only way to ... crush it is think of prop account as real money. proper risk management being the key. good luck, mate

[zealous nexus]

Always.

[toxic widget]

I have a hunch NY session will crush those longs 🙂

Also in the process of getting my CFOA, not my first rodeo. Just my first prop firm dance. I'm a insurance broker now by profession and was looking into a series 3 before that.

I thought they will dump the indices to look for buyers, and we eventually get out of the range

nothing so far

[agile jasper]

17 minutes til we move

[spare bloom]

well we all thought that

but kashkari didnt do jack shit

he slacked on the bear news

[spare bloom]

i was expecting a dip

[toxic widget]

short term I also wait for a short

will play with my demo account

[spare bloom]

at this point shorting the top seems to be safest or well safer

if it ever gets there i might think of a short

[toxic widget]

nice break

[agile jasper]

really strong candle to break the range

[spare bloom]

pump and dump

12 min until open

i dont believe any pump premarket

[mossy mirage]

usually when u scalp how much ticks u target ?

[spare bloom]

depends on the market

[zealous nexus]

NQ trading so high above regular range last few days.

Be interesting to see what happens at 930

I want to take a Short so bad, lol. Pre market.

Crazy chop right now.

[cobalt wave]

Just a question, do you guys quickly jump as soon as the market opens for trading

[spare bloom]

google is going up

gotta watch for a possible pump

or it pumps and dumps

🤷‍♂️

[toxic widget]

highs taken, party time

[mossy mirage]

in average

[toxic widget]

elevator mode activated

[spare bloom]

nvda is tanking

wow what drop on nvda

holy

yeah thats a free sell

but google is carrying this

it is going up

[toxic widget]

close to 2% on the day soon

unless it was just smoke and mirrors

first hr really tricky

elevator in progress

[agile jasper]

big pullback at 400s'

[toxic widget]

we soon find real direction

so far, they take out trades both sides

leaning towards a short, but still not sure

my experiment still in progress lol

[spare bloom]

i am already shorting

scalping from the highs

unless that breaks i will find another place to short

[toxic widget]

confirmed lol

it would've been nice money on the real account lol

[spare bloom]

you know me, C. done my trades today

got my $250 on futures

[copper tiger]

Quik scalp.

[toxic widget]

opened the short way in advance

[spare bloom]

scalping is the way to go in this shitty range market

[toxic widget]

was good for me in the morninig, can't complain

lovely paper trade

closed by SL

so we had the drop, now what?

[spare bloom]

we farmed the highs now for the lows

[toxic widget]

those should be around my TP from above

crazy

[agile jasper]

still space to drop until the 30's

[spare bloom]

wouldnt make sense to go higher from here

atleast need to retest some shit lower

[dark umbra]

hello house

[spare bloom]

there is an fvg should atleast retest that

about 50 more points

[toxic widget]

buyers appearing on ES

[zealous nexus]

Im not taking ant scalps right now or any trades, the market is moving like crap this morning.

[toxic widget]

let's see how strong

[zealous nexus]

crazy swings, momentum is every where too

[sweet dawn]

How do you use it mate ? I’m currently trying to figure out a system. Enters reversal zone, wait for price to leave, wait for trend catcher and bullish signal to enter. Is this how you use it ?

[toxic widget]

google just went above 2%, C

NVDA losing pace big time

[spare bloom]

yeah sure

chip names are weak

they have been the reason we have been pumping all year

so it should still go lower but google is carrying it

so it is choppy

[sweet dawn]

Worked well on those two trades in screenshot, but had 3 losers in a row now and given it all back

[toxic widget]

buyers still forcing in

doesn;t look like they can break 5260 yet

they try lol

[spare bloom]

google is strong atm

but if nvda sells off more should keep dropping

just needs more lows

lets gooo

[toxic widget]

all the way down 😛

[spare bloom]

google is selling off

[zealous nexus]

Might just go back to trading for myself only. These prop firms seems like a crap shoot. I can sit on a contract all day if the market moves wildly and almost always recover the loss by the end of the day, thats how you trade. But these prop firms will instantly close a position on you which sometimes doesnt mean it was a bad trade, the market move deep sometimes. But to close it is asinine. Also, I dont know why they want to force you into these crap markets. BTC Futures and Perpetual Futures, REAL FUTURES, not micro crap are SUPER PROFITABLE. I guess Ill just put more outside money in from my pocket to increase my bankroll. I dont like someone fucking with my trades. I should be able to keep a trade open all day if I want.

[spare bloom]

meh this market

[toxic widget]

buyers taking over on ES

DOM crawling with them again

5260 still the barrier to break

heavy guarded

[zealous nexus]

I took 2 trades, one with this prop and one for myself on MEXC...the same contract at the same time...the prop closed my contract because of a wild dip...I rode it out on MEXC and made $500 literally took less than 5 min.

This prop firm stuff is garbage.

[spare bloom]

i like how google sold off and market went up in nq =.=

[toxic widget]

lol

it did, innit?

not looking at Nasdaq chart today, but I see thw values changing

going up 🙂

[spare bloom]

meh back to chop chity

i will wait few more minutes

then i will just call it

new lows on nvda

[toxic widget]

buyers still pushing

[spare bloom]

google is going back up

[toxic widget]

maybe if NVDA stops falling, we reverse strongly to the upside

[spare bloom]

yeah

[toxic widget]

seen TSLA chart yet, C?

only one in top 10 to go above 3% on the day

[spare bloom]

yeah it is up

i just want the flush then i am done for the day

not the second

re-entry was appropriate

another note for my journal

[spare bloom]

just look at nvda that massive flush

it is bouncing from the bottom now

tho

[toxic widget]

maybe even 4% down soon

[fair socket]

Its that time again, Micky's LIVE: https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1178430832151638077

[toxic widget]

3.5% now

[copper tiger]

Fridays weak high has been repaired. Now the bumpy ride begins.

[neon forum]

you only trading ES?

[toxic widget]

yeap

and only LSE

[neon forum]

ok..thanks

[toxic widget]

just fooling around with NY guys now

paper trades

[spare bloom]

well i am done for the day you guys take care and have fun

[neon forum]

you testing the waters before going in with real money?

[toxic widget]

take care, C

[toxic widget]

nope, done my money for the day, mate

I like my stats like this, no need to jump on NYSE madness 🙂

but I learn daily from the guys here

prop firm account, TopStep

[neon forum]

what does your chart look like?

[toxic widget]

no chart, mate

tradign sessions reaction to highs and lows

that's it

combined with volumes

nothing complicated

LSE session is slow and easy to follow

[neon forum]

ok..gotcha

[toxic widget]

using PAC just for entries

once I have my idea

on direction

that's all you need in trading

direction

rest is just looking for the best entry, market or limit order

whatever suits you best

and a proper risk management

and 4% hit on NVDA

tough day for those longing the AI mammoth

[sturdy wharf]

Sorry im done trading for the day so I didnt answer right away. I think that I changed it off of the base scalping preset and moved to midterm pilot and added a 30 sma or bollinger bands along with the reversal zones so that You can see true places of price extending into a direction then back towards the sma.

You're rich trading it today lol

[muted marlin]

Well i think i’ll take my money and run for the day. Got some nice chunks out of that sell off and i’d rather not give them back trying to range trade.

[toxic widget]

best approach

I also gave up the idea of a long on ES, price went beyond my expectations with no intention to stall there

[sweet dawn]

Thanks for coming back to me mate. So longs are above the ema line on the signal and vice versa for shorts ? And how do you exit ? I’ve always been using the 1m chart, is it better on the 3m you think ?

[agile jasper]

meltdown today in NQ

[sturdy wharf]

I think the 3 minute is better and size down contracts

[sturdy wharf]

Remember scalping you're trying to buy on low drops and sell on high jumps. If you dont want to hold onto something for long and get only a few points change it to reversal zones 1 and increase contract size

This is with reversal zones 5 you can have an order in at the reversal zone 2 and then take any sort of quick gains when it comes backup/down to the SMA

[toxic widget]

on the other hand, why not? any scalp is good 🙂 3 rd and final trade of the day. p.s. within initial price interval from above, 5215-5220. reactionary move

[cobalt wave]

Not happening anytime ! On the green zone candle are more than 3

More candles can be formed at down side

Green band will slide more towards downward

[toxic widget]

humpty dumpty ES

last one not even 2 min lol

not bad for a Tuesday lol

[sweet dawn]

Sorry whilst you were replying, i have just entered on this. This is what ive been doing

I’ve not tweaked with the reversal zone input yet. Ok I’ll have a look at incorporating an ema. So ditch the trend catcher you think ?

I couldn’t find any reversal zone scalping strategies on the user strategies section if someone has found something. I got this idea from the lux algo short vids on YouTube but obviously no detail in there at all. I like the idea of reversal zones as it’s takes the bias away from me and I’m just waiting for the set up. But looking to improve it if I can and eliminate the 4 losers I had ahead of the cash NY open today

[sturdy wharf]

You can use the trend catcher im just giving you ideas of that i've used. The way I passed an eval was a simple confirmation gradient confirmation signals and then reversal zones (SMA/EMA 20-50) and then being aggressive with the winners and trashing the losers

[sturdy wharf]

Reversal Zones are something people dont use out of the toolkit often. It's definitely one of the more difficult and you NEED a strategy for entries. The thing with reversal zones is that you want to get in almost as early as possible and if it's too early making sure you're not going to get eaten up by the heat.

I also like to use trend with it but longer overall trend. Like if the last 200 periods the price has been strong above it you might have a bias at that point to only take exits on the lower reversal zones. Or if its bearish you want to get the pull backs so you only short with the higher reversal zones. You can also use larger time frams etc for bias.

[sweet dawn]

I like the sound of that, have a 200 EMA or something and then you can’t deviate from the bias. I’m still fairly new to lux algo. I don’t have to use reversal zones, it’s just something that resonated with me. If you can think of a simpler scalping strategy for me, would love to hear it. I have the time to sit in front of the screen all day so chart time not an issue. And I like being in an out quite quickly. Like ranging from 5-20 mins. Suits my mentality more than holding on for 4+ hours.

And having a high win rate, but happy to have less R:R also suits my mentality

[sturdy wharf]

I get that completely. Getting in and out holding for like max 5 minutes is great. I would zoom in to 30 second charts then.

Do 1 to 1 on a 30 second or ever 1.25:1

[sweet dawn]

And just so I can be totally clear: what would your entry criteria be ?

[cobalt wave]

https://www.bis.org/fsi/publ/insights57.htm

USDT fud again

[sturdy wharf]

Sooo.... im not going to say super tested. But I did backtest as far as it would let me. (I do not know if this will work but at a certain point I tried it. To mild success not the same as shown in this week.) This week was a great week for it (like 2-3 weeks ago) It was simply a 1:1 on signals below/above SMA 20 only on the most RED and GREEN Candles

[sweet dawn]

Not super tested is fine for me 😂and those most red/green candles, were in the reversal zones on contrarian gradient ?

[sturdy wharf]

9-10:30 today you are up

139 ticks

In my backtesting I notices 9:20-9:50 was very rocky for NQ so watch out for that.

Dont Trade at 1pm est and 3pm est

[sweet dawn]

Looking here, the reversal zone are irrelevant ? Just about the signals and the MA ?

[sturdy wharf]

Yeah you wouldn't use the reversal zones. This is of the ones without but I mean this is just a bse strategy you can add diferet rules like wait for it to exit the reversal zone then crossed below/above a certain moving average.

[sweet dawn]

Cool, I’ll have a look at it mate, really appreciate your help this afternoon. One final question, I’m London time and trade from 7am until 5pm (BST). Will this severely impact this potential strategy ?

Spread is 2pts vs 1pt in the US session which is the first thing that may impact the tightest of this strategy

[sturdy wharf]

You should be fine to start trading at 10 est (3 bst) to 12 est (5 bst) for best results

I do not know much about the spread I apologize.

If you do have any more questions/ideas or want to ask me anything im usually here or you can add me and dm me.

[sweet dawn]

Cool thanks. No worries, that’s the only thing I can think might be a problem. Especially if in a small range as it will cost 4 points to open and close this which will obviously impact the distance it will need to go. I’ll DM going forward as I’m sure the people are fed up of me going on. Again, appreciate the help

[sturdy wharf]

This is a super helpful discord everyone in here is just trying to learn im sure they dont mind!

[toxic widget]

actually, public discussions are encouraged

so that all traders and users can benefit from the knowledge shared

[fair socket]

as Aker said public discussions are encouraged as not only does it help the person asking the questions but possible other members who have similar questions too! Why we prefer chatting in the rooms as opposed to DMs as it helps everyone and not just 1-1 - never feel like people will get fed up with your questions. We're all here to learn together, the whole reason we have these chat rooms 🙂

[copper tiger]

Very tempting setup. Don't like the time of day. There are 2 respected FVG's below. Risk to reward sucks!

May try to retest VAL from yesterday.

[sullen stratus]

Everybody gone at the other spot. Sad lip.

before I forget, did you get the dollarinos?

[sullen stratus]

100%!

[toxic widget]

now we talkin

so that firm still on 🙂

[toxic widget]

you can confirm to guys here as well

[sullen stratus]

Should have pulled out $2,000 per account like Luke told me to.

[toxic widget]

no rush

[sullen stratus]

Would have been $10,000 LOL

[toxic widget]

you tested the system, all good

[sullen stratus]

Yep

[toxic widget]

now you know next one you can wipe them out and be gone, if you want to

[sullen stratus]

The ponzi pays

[toxic widget]

they all do, can;t run the scheme without it 🙂 that;s the business model lol

it's all about "how long can they still make payments". nothing more

look at TFT, they failed

had to close shop

scandals and such from what I read

[sullen stratus]

Yep, that's no bueno

[toxic widget]

judging from the online presence and YTB channels, you would've thought they the best in town

not exactly lol

[sullen stratus]

To me, this is akin to the mortgage industry pre-2008. Loaning out money to irresponsible people with bad credit and no credentials.

[toxic widget]

true that

those were indeed worst ever times

digging your own financial grave

[sullen stratus]

I had a mortgage company that shut down in 2008

[toxic widget]

Lehman brothers story

if you remember, we talking about a financial instituition founded mid 1800

if they collapsed at the time, what's to say about the rest? 🙂

the 2008-2009 crash was so hard for many people

they literally lost everything

money, houses, families

hope we don;t see those days again

[tepid pine]

Hi guys need a little help, want to subscribe in luxalgo but I don't have an cards or bank,
I only have digital wallet base on Philippines GCASH wallet

I'm a new member 😅

[toxic widget]

head to support, mate

[tepid pine]

Thank you 👌

[agile jasper]

hello, unsure if GCASH wallet works, as far as I know card payment or paypal. if you go to https://luxalgo.com/ bottom right chat widget someone from billing can assist you 🙂

[toxic widget]

plus, Lux is a subscription based model

monthly

you need some form of payment to support recurring payments

prevents you from losing access to the tools

better safe than sorry, right?

[sweet dawn]

https://youtu.be/lMzhntRy30k?si=uUPxogJ3ZfYjUm3w

This is the type of thing im trying to replicate, just so you know where im coming from. Obviously no other details provided from LuxAlgo on this but want like a checklist based strategy like this, reversal zone ✅, bearish signal ✅, trend tracer ✅. I also want to know exactly where to put stop loss and when to take profits etc

This is the kind of thing im trying to build, not sure if anyone has any value to add to help with this ?

[copper tiger]

With CPI in the early morning prebell & FOMC tomorrow in the pm session..... I'm done for today.

[tiny tapir]

I had large payouts with Apex and they put them on hold for over a month telling me my zip code was incorrect. I believe they had/ have cash flow issues. I am moving my funds off there this month and going fully self funded.

[sullen stratus]

Fack

Zip code issues lol.

[toxic widget]

not unheard of 🙂 incorrect ZIP code can prevent a bank transfer, Sean. same as the recent eclypse 😛

[tiny tapir]

Yeah it was happening to others I talked with also. The payouts eventually came after delay, but its suspect. I would say just withdrawal every two weeks and keep balances smaller there just in case.

[toxic widget]

monsoon also a cause when you want to stall a payment lol

or the alignment of stars

[toxic widget]

what details do you need, mate?

if you want to replicate a strat or automate it, you need to split in into sections, each section dedicated to one od the steps in your future tradign plan

step 1 would be the entry: you need to define the rules of RZ rejection

it differs from trader to trader, it cannot be easily put as one general rule

[nocturne sigil]

Nice pullback on the dump today

[toxic widget]

what I define myself as a rejection of a level might not be accurate to you

or viceversa

[toxic widget]

they may as well recover the whole move

although the bearish ladder looks pretty obvious now

even the steps are well defined 🙂

general pattern seems a bit out of tune, Mick. what do you think?

[frosty willow]

NVDA going south finally,

[sonic idol]

it kept going sideways smh

[vapid gyro]

Hey guys

What happened to the logo?

[nocturne sigil]

New beginnings

It should help us to trade better with a new logo

[vapid gyro]

New order? Like illuminati?🥶

[nocturne sigil]

🤫

[burnt finch]

NVDA weekly, Bullish Smart Trailing, Bearish Cloud, if it close weekly above 851 i'm optimistic with it, using phone

any thoughts of NVDA ?

[vapid gyro]

Oh my 😰

[nocturne sigil]

I don’t trade this, but if I would, I would buy for investment

Buy and hold

[vapid gyro]

Is it a new cult? 😱

[burnt finch]

im holding my position at 325$~ since AI hype is all over the internet 😁

[toxic widget]

remember Seal, Micky?

when we started working on CFDs automation, in 2023, he bought NVDA shares for around £150 each I think

but he sold at around £300

imagine holding that shite until now

not even an year

[nocturne sigil]

Dang

[toxic widget]

NVDA was like $25 dollars away from $1000

[nocturne sigil]

What’s the next big story?

[burnt finch]

I thought microsoft or Apple or even Elon these big giants will be leading the AI

[toxic widget]

AI will still be the hype for a while

but I guess next should be the software companies going crazy about apps and stuff

chip makers are the hardware, now we need the software to turn this technology into the real deal for average user

such as: hey, GPT, find me a job 🙂

or hey, GPT, sign a cheaper contract on electricity and gas

[burnt finch]

Heard that Elon making new AI company but not sure he has too much money but may not be successful

[toxic widget]

let him do the job on conquering the stars for now

cause US government has forgotten about that

maybe he can put FalconX on Mars

that would be a greta achievement

[burnt finch]

i think he needs Trillion contract deal with NASA to make dream true too 😂😂

[toxic widget]

fuck NASA

if somebody can do it, it's only him

he's the obssessed kind of guy

pretty sure he can find those trillions as well if needed lol

a promise to take Vanguard and BLK shareholders to Mars might secure him the funds needed

:)))

[spare bloom]

maybe he will farm resources on mars and bring to earth

become even richer

[toxic widget]

whatever it takes, C

the day that rocket went into space was one of the most thrilling moments for me in 50 yrs of life so far

remember the day? it was delayed because of weather twice

where is NASA since the 50s? :)))

[copper tiger]

To the downside we have a VPOC inside of this bullish daily OB 😬 It's from Friday March 15th. The FVG's are set to 4H.

[spare bloom]

man nvda dip today looks nice

[toxic widget]

went over 4% eventually, C

what community is this guy dreaming about? we left windows open again? 🙂

[spare bloom]

will see if we can get more discounts tomorrow but people will most likely pump it back up again

[royal flower]

@nocturne sigil

[toxic widget]

buying opportunity, right?

[spare bloom]

this is the first time it had a real dip

[toxic widget]

but tomorrow a pretty tough day

[spare bloom]

after all the pumping

[agile jasper]

sorted

[toxic widget]

if CPI comes above 0.3% on the monthly, that would reflect poorly on Feds intentions to cut interest rates

which may as well go from June to not at all this year

[spare bloom]

this summer will be bearish considering sesonality

[toxic widget]

in which case all markets can go frack themselves

bloodbath

[royal flower]

https://tenor.com/view/fireworks-dance-naked-gif-4302459

[toxic widget]

we already too overtextended to the upside anyway

[spare bloom]

yeah people wanted those 3 rate cuts that came out of nowhere

[toxic widget]

any disturbance in the force can break the equilibrium big time now

[spare bloom]

we all knew those were unrealistic

[toxic widget]

:)))

[spare bloom]

like the fed wants to do it right

so they will atleast not rate cut fast

[toxic widget]

yeap, they clearly said that so many times

[spare bloom]

maybe one for the election then hold

[toxic widget]

no rush at all

it's the only clear message from them so far

all others are running in circles since last year

[spare bloom]

they are afraid of a housing crash

hell yeah dude who doesnt want cheaper houses

those been overpriced since forever

[toxic widget]

past history a big precedent to consider

I also think that's their biggest fear

[spare bloom]

i think in every country with expensive housing they want cheaper houses

[toxic widget]

ours are going sky high each year

[spare bloom]

same here

[toxic widget]

mine bought with around 250k is now estimated at 450k

it';s not even 10 bloody years

[spare bloom]

the cheapest house you can get here is 1 mill usd

in average

since kuwait is a small country

and there is high demand

[toxic widget]

basic price elasticity

demand versus supply

prices go bezerk to the upside

[spare bloom]

it is just super unfair that like 50 years ago the prices were like 10x cheaper or less

[toxic widget]

nothing we can do, C

[spare bloom]

the smart people are the ones who bought as much land as possible back then

[toxic widget]

here, for example, we don;t even own the land

it's such a complicated process, even I gave up doing it

and I am a stubborn arse when I want to

[spare bloom]

here it depends if it is residential or business

business lands you pay money every month

[toxic widget]

btw, remeber those images from movies, with the towers in central LOndon?

the so called financial district?

you would be surprised to know the land on which they are built is ... private property

in the middle of the bloody city

owner is Canary Wharf Plc

[copper tiger]

To the upside we have a VPOC from Thursday April 4th & 4H FVG.

[toxic widget]

have a good night people, see you tomorrow

[spare bloom]

nn

[copper tiger]

Have a good evening. God bless.

Also interesting to note the unfilled gap & for the first time since the rally began in late October, bearish money flow.

[nocturne sigil]

Look at that matrix divergence

I may sit out tomorrow. Have to work late morning.

[agile jasper]

here's the power hour push

[copper tiger]

Right back into yesterday's value.

Setting it up to drop or pop.

[agile jasper]

i think NQ will continue to grind to 400

it was activitiy around there ysterday and today

[copper tiger]

Very close to it already.

[shell blade]

the day on NQ in hindsight. Not bad PA 🙂

last one ive taken on a paper account the rest is just a training exercise. thought id share it..

[nocturne sigil]

Dang, always that hindsight shenanigans

[sonic idol]

Thank you luxalgo just made my first 100 trade lol

(Was losing before haha)

Im loving the signals / overlays (scalper) setting really nice with the oscillators

[copper tiger]

Just like you said!

[upper zealot]

Hey guys do you know about ETFs ?

[nocturne sigil]

Exchange Traded Funds?

[upper zealot]

yup

[nocturne sigil]

or Eat The Food

[upper zealot]

https://tenor.com/view/duh-sarcastic-whatever-gif-874996418923210673

I want to know when the expense ratio fees are charged when you trade them

[nocturne sigil]

These are basically traded like stocks, maybe for retirement plan etc?

[nocturne sigil]

The management fees, ahh, this is depended on the brokerage and the funds prospective etc, different ETF's have their own management fees etc

Something your financial advisor could help you with @upper zealot

[upper zealot]

Gotcha

It looks like they perform well overall

[nocturne sigil]

Slow grind, good grind.
A basket of stocks within a sector or an idea etc

[upper zealot]

But because of this management fee I still think I prefer chose my own stocks

[nocturne sigil]

You could, this would entail "you" doing the research.
The ETF is a basket of stocks that you pay a management team to watch the basket and make adjustments if needed, hence the management fees

[upper zealot]

What is important to consider when choosing stocks to invest in ?

[nocturne sigil]

Lots of theories and strategies.
Based on many factors, your timeframe of holding, your risk tolerance etc etc

[upper zealot]

I see. I aim at 25-30% returns per year

Probably a few trades per year (10+-)

[nocturne sigil]

A good way to start learning stocks, is find a company or product that "you" love, or use alot.
So you will more likely to watch the stock and research and follow it closely.
Example, lets say you really like the to drink "Coke." Buy some Coke stock, do some research etc.....

[upper zealot]

"Buy some coke" hahaha

[nocturne sigil]

I know, it didnt sound right, LOLLLLL

[upper zealot]

Hahaha

[nocturne sigil]

Pharmaceuticals stocks

LOL

[upper zealot]

Ok 👍

Thank you Micky I will start my research

Cant go wrong with ETF tho. Except during 2022 because of Russia

[prime stratus]

brazil ?

[nocturne sigil]

Welcome

[sonic idol]

Thank you! Love the indicators!

Hey guys

[sweet dawn]

Morning

Managed to get these 3 scalps on NQ so far

[shell blade]

TP taken - paper trade though 🙂

[frozen mauve]

BONO's on your radar, right? feels like it's gonna be huge

[sweet dawn]

Another very quick scalp, my quickest i think, 2 mins

[cyan lark]

yeah, it's the sleeper hit of the year

[frozen mauve]

already stacked up on it

[cyan lark]

genius move, it's about to go stratospheric

[agile jasper]

morning

[toxic widget]

careful about today. morning.

tight range till news hit us

a lot of choppy and/or fake moves

my best guess, if your fingers itchy to trade, quick scalps within Asia range

[shell blade]

morning

[shell blade]

paper and hindsight trading for me 🙂

[toxic widget]

or that, even better 🙂

just a hint from orderbook, on ES:

[sage sleet]

what is that

[toxic widget]

DOM - Depth of Market

just $49/mth for CME data :)))

[sage sleet]

how come mine dont have the cool volume thingy

[toxic widget]

shows you the orderbook data

[toxic widget]

cause you have to pay for it, that's why 🙂

[sage sleet]

[toxic widget]

no bloody thing is free in trading

[sage sleet]

lmao

[toxic widget]

only us, retail, think it's easy peasy and cheap lol

[agile jasper]

haha

[toxic widget]

and we don;t even have 1% of the correct data

[agile jasper]

true

[toxic widget]

:))))))))

well, I share when I can, guys

fuck them and their subs

excuse my French 🙂

[sage sleet]

[toxic widget]

placed a limit order, just in case

but you gotta admit trading the Asia range worked like a charm during LSE session

[agile jasper]

place a tick above it

[toxic widget]

they took the highs now chasing lows

[agile jasper]

sometimes they never get touched

[toxic widget]

yes, I know

limit order just a DOM trade

[agile jasper]

it was a 3000 contracts on ES the other day let me see if i can find it

[toxic widget]

recent displacement is quite big, they might hit that level and go even more down

hope my SL is good enough lol

[agile jasper]

#📈futures-stocks-chat message

this guy never got touched 😦

[toxic widget]

which session?

[agile jasper]

this was NY of course

you don't see the tape so busy during asia/london

[toxic widget]

don;'t trust that one in a million years 🙂

during London might happen, too much spoofing during NY

it's worth a try, meanwhile trying to trade range if I find something to trade

was busy earlier, did not see the highs taken

[agile jasper]

remember no trade is a good trade

[toxic widget]

exactly

you know Lady Ninja, from crypto, right?

that lady only trades limit orders, never changes her style. same trading plan, same logic. over and over again

made a massive portfolio sticking to her plan, pretty sure more than 2 yrs now

[sage sleet]

if aint broken aint need not fix

[toxic widget]

but I agree with you, that level is way outside the range, might not go there

CVD says a lot about choppiness lol

btw, NVDA looks like it's in a free fall

and Asia lows taken, as expected

a DCA might work, will try it

[zenith narwhal]

U should check out NQ. It will be a wild west they say. @agile jasper (jk jk. event incomin)

[agile jasper]

we will see a 100 points move right after the news 😂

[toxic widget]

pierced through

SL taken 🙂

[zenith narwhal]

thanks btw. I'm 80% done on my eval. Fastest ever. 6 wins 0 loses. 🤝

NQ really is more fun than ES it seems.

[agile jasper]

did TS ever got back to you?

[zenith narwhal]

ye there was a billing issue..

I thought ''resetting'' will reset the account completely (which it doesn't).

They didn't email me about any rebilling issues.. which i noted. which they are checking into now.

[toxic widget]

issues with TopStep, Duck?

[agile jasper]

they make things right

[toxic widget]

let me know before I go into it too much, I'm new to this shite

[agile jasper]

been with topstep for nearly a year now, all the issues i had were resolved

[toxic widget]

good, I'll stick with them then

trade would've worked, caca. with a proper SL lol

i can see it wanted the liquid and then up. ES loves touching the resting orders

[zenith narwhal]

ye tldr;

• couldn't use tradovate, thought it was my end problem
• topstep showed closed account, send support ticket.
• after 4 days got reply that there was a billing issue (no email received)

In the meantime i send them an application for a job position, they reply to that in 5 hours (sadly no Visa sponsor)

[toxic widget]

a quick nice scalp only

[zenith narwhal]

But besides the Support taking ages (probably scaling), i really love the platform. The support I receive is topnotch. UI works great. Clean rules. Pricing is pretty good (imo).

about 2 months using it now.

[zenith narwhal]

would hedging it be fun or too risky?

[agile jasper]

you mean to set limit buy/sell before the news?

[toxic widget]

tried it many times

made a lot of money

but you need to be really sure you know the direction 🙂

it's a coin toss lol

[cedar cypress]

XAUUSD is going doown

[agile jasper]

so you moved to futures @toxic widget ?

[toxic widget]

nothing left to do in crypto, mate

[cedar cypress]

Headed for 2333- 2319 price range

[toxic widget]

still a lot to learn

so different

my CFDs are way simpler

and easier to manage risks

futures too ... tight

[agile jasper]

play with micros

[toxic widget]

yes, it's an option

I do that, with OIL and GOLD

[cedar cypress]

Institutions have placed massive sell positions on XAUUSD. CPI release will continue to push prices down.

[cobalt wave]

Did you check crypto chat lol

[cobalt wave]

FOMC minutes

also will be matter

[toxic widget]

yes and no, it's an event in the past. main ideas already known, but there may be hints on future actions not discussed yet in interviews and press conferences

[toxic widget]

and job done. initial DCA idea failed miserably, but the chase of the highs after taking lows of Asia range still in progress. day over for Aker, target of $150 achieved

that wick down took both of my longs lol

but it did eventually reverse, as expected

now it's your turn, NYSE session guys, enjoy the madness of CPI 😛

trades recap:

making note in the journal to be more patient

week recap:

learning still, appreciate any feedback and suggestions for this new futures crap 🙂

especially about consistency rules and exits

[toxic widget]

p.s. might still attempt a 1-2 minutes scalp on NY, if it's clear and I'm around. worked yesterday lol

[cobalt wave]

what platform is this

[toxic widget]

futures, Tradovate

[cobalt wave]

ok

[toxic widget]

most prop firms work with Tradovate

[cobalt wave]

will inflation rise or fall ?

i want gold to dump

[toxic widget]

this time I have no clue

[cobalt wave]

cannot believe you are clueless

[toxic widget]

too much contradictory data

even I know when to refrain from making asusmptions

it's like trying to find the area of a triangle when you only know 2 sides

can;t do it, innit?

[cobalt wave]

lol

[toxic widget]

if you know the third as well, you can use Heron's formula

otherwise, stay away lol

[wooden moss]

Lol

[nocturne sigil]

Morning peeps
Possible Crude going bearish now?

[toxic widget]

paper trading a short lol

[nocturne sigil]

Turn that paper into lettuce 🥬

[toxic widget]

my day is over, don;t want to spoil it. already did earlier

counter trading, CVD way green short term

but I trust your levels

short should be the option here

when trading my CFDs, I found OIL to be very impulsive

hard to tackle the right SL and TP most of the times

but it does move a lot, when it moves

[spare bloom]

oil is hard to trade it is like gold

but way manipulated

[toxic widget]

too .... gambly for my taste

[toxic widget]

and that. if sheikh Farooq farts, we doomed

[cobalt wave]

who d hell ios sheikh farooq

[toxic widget]

pretty sure there's at least 10 of them

i just picked the most common name lol

I should've said sheikh ... Sayed 😛

spot on, @nocturne sigil , as always:

[vapid gyro]

[toxic widget]

your own money?

[copper tiger]

What’s our prediction for cpi?

[toxic widget]

no predictions today

not enough data 🙂

but I do expect a sea of red soon :)))

[vapid gyro]

It's my allowance from my dad

[toxic widget]

then you should definitely work on the responsibility issues, young man

[vapid gyro]

I'll try 🙏

[toxic widget]

what you have done is completely and utterly ... irresponsible. not something to encourage here

no offence

[vapid gyro]

I'm sorry

[spare bloom]

aker he lost 300k in one day the other day as well

[toxic widget]

oh, got it

[spare bloom]

gambling with dad money

[toxic widget]

so poor guy lost his mind, actually

[vapid gyro]

U don't have to tell him that 😭

[toxic widget]

my best advice for you is go back to your cartoons, maybe trading is not for you, young man

especially if you see it as some form of gambling

[nocturne sigil]

hmmmmmm

where do I wanna go with this?

🤔

[toxic widget]

still inside the ladder to the downside so far

just wait 11 more minutes, we definitely break that range 🙂

[nocturne sigil]

same here on NQ 🤔

[toxic widget]

Red Ocean is the 5th ocean. incoming

[spare bloom]

ladder to downside but it will moon on cpi 🤷‍♂️

jebaiting all the bears

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah, im gonna let this reset with another new structure first, this one Ill pass

[vapid gyro]

But I wanna be like Andrew Tate 🙏

[toxic widget]

[nocturne sigil]

We can be whatever we wanna be on the internet
