[copper tiger]

[restive escarp]

Good morning Lux crew!

[grand galleon]

Sweden is same ….. believe is an European sickness 🤮

[zenith narwhal]

Mission: Complete

Just before I go on vacation. Good vibes.

[lusty kiln]

Same here in Slovakia and Hungary mate... EU is the best In Slovakia you have tax 19+14% an if your profits exceeds 47k in Eur you have 25+14% tax

And your bank gonna call you as in frace but the limit is not 10k but 5k lol. Tried to withdraw from my account 5k its not gonna work you must go to the bank and request it and give for what reason... ill world

Lets say you are trading with a prop firm 200k account with 80/20 split win 1000 usd from what you can have 800usd and the tax is 19+14 wich is 264usd so you have ended in profit with 536usd lol

In the other side for example in Romania you have 10% flat tax and health insurance levies wich is around 2k a year as a tax and thats all...

[gloomy quail]

Good morning everyone. I wish us all a profitable month.

[delicate yew]

Nice gold trade today....

[muted raptor]

Topstep eval?

[zenith narwhal]

Yes. Lost one, got one back. So we back on 2

[muted raptor]

Cool, manual or bot?

[zenith narwhal]

Manual. I want to test my own skill. When funded I transition to automated.

And then start a new one.

[muted raptor]

Nice, let us know how you doing on funded.😁

[delicate yew]

Another nice trade. Approximately 3100k today in Gold.

[spare bloom]

gold is easy buy once it broke 2400

[copper tiger]

yes

[delicate yew]

I don't think, it's easy. I just had a good day. Anticipated entries played well.

Gold can easily go to 2500

Let's see. What happens

[copper tiger]

suiii

my short on usdjpy

[delicate yew]

It's going well

[agile jasper]

945 and 10am news today

[delicate yew]

Thanks for informing

[sturdy wharf]

me at dentist

what’s going on

[spare bloom]

nice choatic open

up and down

i scalped 20 points both ways but was kinda on my edge of my seat xDD

[sturdy wharf]

word thankfully I finished before heading to the dentist lol

I took a trade on copper and a long on ES before the 8:30 news are around 7:45

just looking all of you killing it with these multi thousand dollar trades

then there’s me with me 10 ticks

[hasty pilot]

Yes sir 😁 Done for the day

Oranges shade = Previous Gap
Green Shade = Single Print Zones
Blue shade = 8:30am range
Gray box = ORB Zone.

[delicate yew]

Gold, going super

[spare bloom]

wohoooo

perfect sell

that retest rejection was so good

[agile jasper]

good shorts

[spare bloom]

entered long on the wick

🔥

fire movements

up and down

you can win both ways

[nocturne sigil]

15m NQ

Shaky today

[hasty pilot]

My boys Dow and Rus said .. “it’s

[nocturne sigil]

Gold futures as well
Whipsaw action

[hasty pilot]

LuxAlgo you give me confidence unlike any other 😂😂

[urban flint]

GM

[spare bloom]

hahahaha

i like these massive candles

1 min suddenly 50 points in your face

[urban flint]

Took profit at 5554

Right at support

Rentering ES short on 5584 inverse FVG

[delicate yew]

Exited gold long.

It was good move.

[spare bloom]

yeah really good profit for such a small size contract

[urban flint]

First entry was at 5596 :/

Then I closed when it broke resistance. Good Analysis weak sleepy brain missed bigger profits

[spare bloom]

gj overall

as long you make money there is nothing to complain about

[urban flint]

Like Micky said, close in green is always good

[agile jasper]

here we are, new lows on NQ

[urban flint]

Yup

I took a GC long this morning that was good too

[hasty pilot]

Target reached ✅

[spare bloom]

this 1 hr nq candle looks bearish as hell

[urban flint]

Thinking it might be time soon to reenter a long GC

[sturdy wharf]

did someone say negative R:R for 15 ticks

[delicate yew]

Nice ichimoku

[sturdy wharf]

I LOVE ichimoku

[urban flint]

Yea, good suff

[spare bloom]

i am done for today.great trades

[delicate yew]

I used to trade with ichi, not now anymore

Anyways, it's good, if someone has patience

[sturdy wharf]

oh I have the patience

with my 1-3 trades a day lmao

[urban flint]

19396 long?

let's see if it confirms. Looks like a lot of selling pressure

[spare bloom]

becareful with longs

market is too bearish

it will prolly retrace a bit

thats one massive ass 1 hr candle

and the 1h is not even finished LOL

we still got 20 min

[urban flint]

True. Always waiting for confirmation. Thinking a small bounce and like 20 pip

[spare bloom]

yeah i did a couple of those

quick 5-10 points

[urban flint]

ES looks even worse

[spare bloom]

you might get lucky with a strong 30-40 points bounces

[urban flint]

I was super disappointed with rates unchanged. I bet wall street is too. Need a bit more down before up

[spare bloom]

i mean most people knew rates were not gonna change

they just had false hopes

[urban flint]

True, but still. Fed is so stupid. The general economy in the US is crumbling and with every company firing and talking about recession. Can't afford much anymore. Use to be good with 6 figure salery. So, yea again I think they are late to the game with CUTS

Regardless of expectation. Why not start small

Eyeing a HL on Gold.

[spare bloom]

powell doesnt care about the economy

he only cares about inflation

[delicate yew]

[urban flint]

Night!

You guys are doing great in olympics btw 🙂 go 🙂

[urban flint]

[delicate yew]

[urban flint]

[delicate yew]

Ok thanks.

[urban flint]

[delicate yew]

Not a big fan of Olympics, although my kids are.

[copper tiger]

Was down 650$ this morning but clawed back to BE, extremely disappointed with myself still

[urban flint]

Mine too, they are doing gymnastics (or at least in her head she think she is doing flips in the livingroom)

[spare bloom]

holy a single 1 hr candle did 300 points

[spare bloom]

i dont think i have seen that before

[urban flint]

Yea, not much support there lol

Later! 🙂

[spare bloom]

bb

[agile jasper]

where are the buyers today?

[spare bloom]

they wearing bear clothes

[urban flint]

my next is 19221

[spare bloom]

did you scalp this long ?

was a good one

3 min for this 1 hr candle

[urban flint]

No I took this instead

[spare bloom]

ah you are doing gold

[urban flint]

Yea, I stopped watching when it broke through that target

Figured to wait it out

Almost done.

[agile jasper]

and I was hoping the buy program has started on NQ after yesterday's rally

[urban flint]

closed, :/

back to waiting for confirm.

back at it

[nocturne sigil]

Taking a dump today

[urban flint]

What is the end? 🙂

Man, dumping.

Even gold broke down from looking like a solid trade

[zenith narwhal]

That gradient color chart

nice

Its inverted tho

[sturdy wharf]

Yeah its pretty good

peachy

maybe I should switch it

ooooooo I like this better

[hasty pilot]

Love LuxAlgo

[nocturne sigil]

And Lux loves you

👍

[urban flint]

Stopped out again on gold

Tough one

Thought that liquidity, choch and hh was going to hold

Looks like 5440 on es

Just brutal dumps 🙂

[agile jasper]

here we are, 19k

[urban flint]

Yes, you called it

every time I see this many x on the chart after a signal I think of Smack from a video saying something like after the 4th.. it's about done with the impulse.

Does not happen that often, but today seems to be the day

[nocturne sigil]

Who’s calling what?
I wanna join the action

[agile jasper]

100 points pop

[spare bloom]

yeah that was insane

guess the whale got bored of shorting

or ran out of juice

then again we did 808 points today

from top to bottom

[urban flint]

Hehe

Yea mental 🙂

Should have kept that short that I started the morning with 🙂

Went back and replayed for learning to listen to my strategy 😂

[spare bloom]

nfp tomorrow should be fun

[agile jasper]

yes finally so I can delete the NFP vwap from last month 😂

we got earnings coming up now right?

[nocturne sigil]

what does the yearly whappy say?

[spare bloom]

i think amazon

amzn missed

[agile jasper]

yeah it did

[spare bloom]

waiting for aapl now

[magic shard]

Apple beats estimations

[agile jasper]

so we just opened and we're down 100+ points already on NQ

[hasty pilot]

If only people would stop believing in other peoples failed experiments and try LuxAlgo themselves.

They’d be angry to know this has been here all this time.

ICT? Ew.

LuxAlgo.
Relief 😌

[rose patio]

Are you use just Signals to trades ?

Or there is other things

[hasty pilot]

If you’d like to know how I read them @ me. No worries.

This is ALL I use.
Just Signals.

Results.

[delicate yew]

Nice, bro. Keep rocking.

[hasty pilot]

Tell me you guys are watching Nasdaq right now ????

[hasty pilot]

I see you dominating your field

[delicate yew]

i try to do my best. stay simple

[hasty pilot]

I’m glad you’re bold to say “professional scalper” in your Bio. That means you’ve finally found a method and it’s working. It feels great I’m sure

I’m a Nasdaq scalper. Saying “Sniper” was a trend back in 2017 lol but scalper none the less.

Caught a late night drop on NQ weird. But thanks to LuxAlgo as always.

[delicate yew]

I can say - I know- how to trade and find aggressive traders, behavior and patterns.

[delicate yew]

Are you using 10 contracts ?

[hoary harness]

Micros

[delicate yew]

ok. i thought its mini. never mind, i am new in to this futures trading

[proper trellis]

Hi

[hoary harness]

I thought mini for a second too and was like i know hes not risking 7 grand right now if he wants to be here long... and the profit coincided with the points.

[hasty pilot]

Micros 😁

[delicate yew]

Are you guys from Asia?

[hasty pilot]

USA 🇺🇸

[delicate yew]

USA guys are mostly sleepy bags right now

Anyone participating in a Trading view Leap competition?

liking the background @sturdy wharf

[sturdy wharf]

Thanks Danny! hows futures treating you?

[fair socket]

Got rekt yesterday trying 1.5 lots on normal nq using new strategy LOL

not really been focusing on it if im honest im just using it as a bit of fun

[sturdy wharf]

getting rekt is 100% part of the process. NQ is WICKED so dont feel discouraged

yeah forex is your specialization

[fair socket]

yeah i find myself leaning towards it daily and forgetting when im in nq trade or forgetting about futures all together

i keep saying ill do 5am-2:30pm fx and then 2:30-6pm futures

but hasnt happened yet

[sturdy wharf]

dont overextend yourself, trade what you care to trade in a day

[fair socket]

just gone for nq short

on 5 micro lots

but gonna go make lunch in a minute and let it run

[sturdy wharf]

shorting equities has been quite the experience these past few days

[spare bloom]

nfp in 1 hr

[sturdy wharf]

good call

[fair socket]

not doing too bad

will close before nfp though

[muted raptor]

nice, what is your rr on this trade?

[fair socket]

1:3

[spare bloom]

i would have closed by now

market will most likely stop hunt

[fair socket]

closed +$230

took your advice 🙂

[fair socket]

good shout - its back at entry

[muted raptor]

this is eval or funded?

[urban flint]

Thanks!

[urban flint]

Seems like it

[hasty pilot]

Wow. Just saw that.
Glad I got out.
I’ve seen this behavior before.
Hopefully it’s not a Chop fest today.

[urban flint]

Yesterday was brutal. Overall trend down but it will bounce imo

[hasty pilot]

Nasdaq DAILY. 4HR. 1HR.

[urban flint]

That's my plan for the day

[hasty pilot]

If shorts hold it down.
The GAP is target.

[urban flint]

I think you have a good entry on NQ short now

[hasty pilot]

I can’t trade for today.
I’ve already made the max per day.
(TopStep)
Have a safe Friday Fam 😎✌️

For reference: Use this Box
It’s the 8:30 Range.
See what it does prior to 9:30.
Then @ 930 draw another box.
Watch that range.
Should be a guide for the intra day.

Yesterday Sample.

[urban flint]

Took a quick Nq

Warming up here 🙂

[hasty pilot]

Yeah 1 is enough tbh hit that 2-3x BOOM cash 💰

[urban flint]

And closed

Quick 800 waiting for open now maybe even 10 with the news and all to looks for a trend. Could get messy

[agile jasper]

18708 vwap NQ

wow

the sizes are crazy

100 points 3 minutes candle 😂

vwap at 694

[hasty pilot]

Yeah crazy for one candle

Stay alert fakeouts could be coming if youre not able to see price action clearly.

[agile jasper]

news candle now taken out

[hasty pilot]

Ahhhh I can’t send this fast enough. Here we go MICROS day. Avoid Minis if it’s too much.

[agile jasper]

factory orders in 20 minutes, shouldn't do anything

[hasty pilot]

⚠️ Fake Outs can shake out the best⚠️

[magic shard]

no mercy for buyers

[hasty pilot]

Even WS agrees. Nasdaq may close its Gap below today.

The reversal worked like a charm ✔️✔️

[spare bloom]

What a great reversal long

scary price action hahaha

If you guys in profit it is better to go do something else for the day

great week overall

Most volatile week in years i believe

Never seen nq do 800 points up or down every single day

thats insane

[nocturne sigil]

London Brits have been very good for 5m Crude
Anyone take crude today?

NQ 5m is a bit rough, but trusting your template, may help you in a direction.
Yes?
No?

🤷‍♂️

[fair socket]

i closed out my crude from yesterday what i entered when Benjy mentioned in stream

was cfd though as opposed to futures

[agile jasper]

tensions in the middle east

that's why crude and cl are tanking

[grand galleon]

After losing my head yesterday I m finally back on track. Secured 1100$ for today using my double FVG strategy. Almost 90% win rate. Played safe 1 contract x trade.

[lusty kiln]

What happened mate ? Hope everything is alright 🙏

[grand galleon]

Just did revenge trades yesterday and yes ….. I sometimes go back to where I started

[lusty kiln]

Yeah im familiar with that

[copper tiger]

Nice long trade off doji at S2.

[nocturne sigil]

Is everyone done for Friday?
Or just waiting for Power Rekt Hour?

[agile jasper]

always done early

[copper tiger]

Done and ready for the weekend.

[urban flint]

Seems like there no appetite at the moment

[nocturne sigil]

Nice

🆒

[urban flint]

I was hoping ES would hold into the weekend got a long down here. Time will tell

[nocturne sigil]

4H NQ trying to bust down and through some support OB's

🤔

[urban flint]

I want an OB to show up about now on LTF for ES

Was waiting for this 4 hour candel

Would like to see that hold 🙂

I mean at one point they should be done selling right?

[copper tiger]

Still looks pretty bearish.

[urban flint]

Yes :/

rather enter LTF on HTF OB than anything

high risk high reward.

can't really see them continue selling into that OB

[muted raptor]

You can set up auto block if you lose defined amount in tradovate.

[minor niche]

Nice man! Can we see your entry and exits?

[nocturne sigil]

Almost time?

[urban flint]

yup

[nocturne sigil]

Let’s get it on

NQ for you? Or something else?

[urban flint]

I'm in ES

[spare bloom]

i packed my bags.will come back next week

[urban flint]

I might just close at FVG. we shall see

For now, happy that 4h held.

One trade a day keeps the liquidations away 😂

[nocturne sigil]

Enjoy your trip

Haha

[urban flint]

Yea, I got a target. Not going to get greedy

Glad it was starting to move. slow friday otherwise

need more volume to be confident.

[grand galleon]

That’s an example…. Break away FVG entry, Liquidity (Opposite FVG, OB, Swing) exit

[nocturne sigil]

Ok here we go

[agile jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-race-run-running-exercise-gif-4469250

or sit at these levels and do nothing?

Its freaking jittery

Anyone gonna jump in?

[agile jasper]

limit sell at 550, limit buy at 500

1000 tick chart

[nocturne sigil]

ok

let me know how this turns out

[muted raptor]

When you trade fast like 30 sec trades, entry is the same? Just fast tp?

[nocturne sigil]

its gonna bust out

[grand galleon]

Yes …. Just liquidity is probably much closer or just take it faster but yes concept is that

[nocturne sigil]

🤷‍♂️

Thoughts?

👀

@sharp iris
Just did another no SL at hard +50 ticks NQ before closing bell

Thank you!! I still have a few questions, I sent you a DM. (if you have time)

[restive escarp]

@grand galleon has to do a live with @nocturne sigil !

That would be grand!

[grand galleon]

@nocturne sigil is already great by himself. There is nothing I can teach he doesn’t already know 👍

[restive escarp]

He certainly is! I think he had Benjy today and starting to have members from the community!

[hasty pilot]

Yes

[hasty pilot]

Which platform ?
I used Ticks before but I love Volume charts. One of mt recipes of scalping.
Volume charts look the same as Tick by the candles Open and close cleaner within ranges and properly under EMAs.

2,000 Vol chart for NQ.
3k for MNQ. Try it out

How to enable alerts for nadaraya Watson indicator

[native drum]

According to the description here https://www.luxalgo.com/library/indicator/Nadaraya-Watson-Envelope/, there are integrated alerts. Have a look at creating an alert to see what is available.

[grand pecan]

Thank you, prince❤️❤️❤️

[native drum]

Before I forget, this has to be switched OFF for alerts to work.

[grand pecan]

I don't know why this big drop it's sad

[lusty kiln]

Good morning guys, it may be a stupid question but im new to futures.... Want to try Topstep. I read its possible to trade even micros with Topstep but can i trade micros using topstep directly in tradigview ? And how ? Thank you very much for the answers

[grand galleon]

Not only top step but even MFFU and Apex…. U can trade micro everywhere. Just choose Tradovate , enable add on TradingView (it is free) and trade directly from trading view.

[lusty kiln]

Just choose lets say mnq instead of NQ and thats it ?

[grand galleon]

Yes…. Put up the mnq chart and that’s it

[lusty kiln]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Topstep is actually good firm ? I personally like the prices

[nocturne sigil]

Nice strategy with the Oscillator Matrix, anyone try this?

https://www.luxalgo.com/blog/reversal-spotting-made-easy/

[urban flint]

That’s a good strategy, however, just be aware that it might not work as good on LTF. In other words you’ll touch those reversal zones and stay in them for a while.

Thank you for sharing. Love the idea and create a layout for it.

I like the idea of setting the tf lover than the what you are trading.

Certainly gives a good entry point for reversals after confirming of something like a signal

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah that’s cool.
Adjust to your trading style

[nocturne sigil]

It’s our LuxAlgo secret

[urban flint]

Haha 🤛

Thank you for sharing. Love learning new ways of looking at the same chart haha

[urban flint]

I’ve been sort of lagging using the screeners, so I like this idea a lot

[grand galleon]

Yes …. Among the bests I would say

[lusty kiln]

Hi guys yesterday i did some research and considering now Topstep or TradeDay... I found Apex hard bcs of trailing stop.. U already know... So if you guys would to choose between Topstep and Tradeday. Wich firm u choose ? I know all is on internet but i would love to hear some personal cons and pros. Thank you very much

Haha, right also NQ looks ready to break down no 🙂

Ohh how things turn quickly. Should be a very interesting week

There went that 4h support

[spare bloom]

[spare bloom]

Day just started man

Are we gonna see 2k point day

[floral timber]

[inner pawn]

[spare bloom]

Already 1.1k points in nq

Holy

it was never this bad even in corona

[hasty pilot]

MAY 3 2024 // GAP filled ✅🫡

[spare bloom]

Nice recovery on nq

Man this is insane volatility

We recovered 600 points from the lows

@agile jasper you watching the action?

[agile jasper]

im just up buf what on earth happened

[spare bloom]

We dropped 1.1k points then recovwred 600 @agile jasper

Good morning

today might be 2k-3k point day

[agile jasper]

circuit breaker then

[spare bloom]

Robinhood halted 24 hours

[agile jasper]

was watching last night

and it was no liquidity on nq on the dom

nothing. price would drop 5 points instead of a tick because it was nothing there 😂

[spare bloom]

Yep

spread is 6 points

No liquidity

[sturdy wharf]

The size of these 3 minute candles.

nikkei got POUNDED

[agile jasper]

hello MR SUNRISE

Nikkei got destroyed

obliterated

[sturdy wharf]

like hasnt had a drop like that since 1987

[agile jasper]

man i'm scared to trade today

big tensions

[sturdy wharf]

last 3 minute candle on the nq was 60 points....

[agile jasper]

yeah. you should have watched the dom last night

[sturdy wharf]

I bet it was insane

[agile jasper]

it was so thin 20 points to the downside it was just 6 contracts on the tape that's all

[sturdy wharf]

my lord

[agile jasper]

i was watching it it was at 18100 and 72 contracts sell at that level

[sturdy wharf]

I should have stayed up I just wasnt expecting this

[agile jasper]

it took the liquidity and it dropped 50 points further

did not expect to drop so much overnight

1 contract short at the open and close it at the very low = 20k

😂

[sturdy wharf]

Thats quite the move.

[agile jasper]

will defos do micros today

[sturdy wharf]

wait hows the franc doing

[spare bloom]

Even with a garbage spread like that you can make money but you have to expect 10-20% DD

[sturdy wharf]

Swiss franc is pumping lol

safe haven shit

[spare bloom]

all this mess cuz of the japanese rate hike

yen is going up and crashing the dxy

[sturdy wharf]

dxy is at 102 damn

GM, I am new here, is there live streaming here?

[sturdy wharf]

[urban flint]

I mean we should see a bounce somewhere. This is one of those I need a few confirmations on, so I would not rely on OB's

Panick, kicking in

This is wild to experience we’re BACK to April Lows. All those gains GONE in 3 nights overnight trading at that.

Whoever said overnight traders are weak is wrong. Ate away months of hard gains for Nancy Pelosi

[urban flint]

Yea, it will mess with a lot of minds 🙂

[hasty pilot]

Even worse. Jan 2023 Longs are Breakeven today.

[agile jasper]

circuit breaker today?

[spare bloom]

yes

nvda is down 14% just in premarket today

[agile jasper]

i tried a short on MNQ

1.5 mins later i got my face ripped off

😂

[spare bloom]

i shorted and got 100 points few mins ago

[agile jasper]

then took it to the long on that 250 points bounce

LMAO

[hasty pilot]

What’s happening in JPN?

[agile jasper]

[agile jasper]

or don't trade it

[urban flint]

Yea, I bet I wont

I am not looking to trade a bounce here.

I am looking for shorts and that will happen later in the week

[agile jasper]

i will do micros

if i'm getting rekt at least it'll take a while rather than getting rekt with 1 mini in 10s

[urban flint]

True.

[agile jasper]

VIX at 55% 😂

[azure depot]

Probably no trading at all this morning

[urban flint]

Yea, that is alarming. I have a alert from several years ago over 50% on trigger. First time I've seen it go off.

[spare bloom]

i got 250 points short

was sweating bullets

shorted the top and hodled

i think ima stop for the day LOL

too much stress

had to believe on the short

[urban flint]

I think you're safe. POC kept moving futher down, clearly sellers in control 🙂

[spare bloom]

you never know in this arket

[urban flint]

hehe SL is your friend

[spare bloom]

see the market just reversed 100 points

[urban flint]

it's just grabbing liquidity 🙂

[spare bloom]

sure

[spare bloom]

but it is better at that point to just enter a new position

thats why i closed my original one

[urban flint]

Exactly

[spare bloom]

but i am done for the day got 25% gain on my acc

[urban flint]

me too, just practice now 🙂

took a long on ES

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah? what TF?

I think it will go to PDL and up

I'm just saying to the next LH 🙂

The main play is Short

Would not recomend unless you are really going to look at the cahrts 🙂

and react

This is likely a false signal, as you want to look for short. But yea you can get like 20 pips 🙂

[agile jasper]

the 50 points 3 minutes candles are scary

with what candles we do nowadays, we only need 2 candles to fill the gap

[urban flint]

Good day in the market. Made money and I just sat up another trading server 🔥

[agile jasper]

traitor! 😂

[austere viper]

Question for the group; i grabbed a 300K apex eval early this morning, was up $18,500 by 9:30ish, took a $3,500 loser, acct gets liquidated!!!! I’m yet to hear a response from Apex. Anyone else deal with this? Honestly I should know better had a PA blown over a ghost order that set off a stop, market never traded near the stop, Apex argued until I gave up.

@nocturne sigil if my above question isn’t allowed just delete, no big deal👍🏻

[nocturne sigil]

Your good, its a valid question to see if other members have experiences with Apex.

Hope they resolve this for you....

[agile jasper]

i heard about ghost trades with apex before, that's why i chose to stay away from them

if you were up 18500 then no reason why a 3.5k should liquidate you

[austere viper]

I was baffled!!!! My acct still said 314500ish, I know they having trailing draw but I was grabbing profit quick, all scalps. I put in a support ticket but going by past experience they will ignore or argue. It was $40 so whatever back to my own acct and my Topstep accts🤷🏼‍♂️

[agile jasper]

that's why i'm with topstep.

I passed 3 evals with apex

all 3 blown the very first day due to intraday dd

no thanks

did i take apex payouts? no

did i blow topstep XFA? yes
did i take topstep payouts? OH YES

https://tenor.com/view/no-regrets-no-ragrets-same-yolo-we-are-the-millers-gif-4961595

314500 should be enough to keep you alive. 7500 is when it stops according to their website

[austere viper]

See that’s what I experienced, the exact strategy I used this morning I traded on Topstep with MNQ and made $2,800, no problem, Apex blown acct

[agile jasper]

you can't DCA losing trades on apex

not sure if the evals count. if you did this, that might be a reason

if you were all good, they will probably find a reason

[austere viper]

I know, trust me I got caught thinking I would love to add to this position but couldn’t!!!!! Then when it worked out I thought about all the money I could have made🤦🏼 if I could just DCA, but on Topstep I’m good

[agile jasper]

wait and see what their support say

[nocturne sigil]

no ragrets

[gloomy quail]

Anybody ready?

[jagged cave]

Just focusing on that one section as a generalization for understanding of reading the indicator correctly

[urban flint]

Seriously no ragrets? I love when he keeps saying, “you know what I’m saying” and sudeikis say, “yes I do know what your saying but thanks for continuing checking in with me”

I think about that every time someone using that phrase.

[nocturne sigil]

😜

[spare bloom]

Nice reversal on nq

[grand galleon]

Scary volatility…. Lucky enough took 100 ticks in one trade on Asian session…. But Jesus did 100 ticks with one candle. That isn’t normal in Asian session.

[agile jasper]

right? moved to micros yesterday the biggest i had was 3 at the time and that was adding to the winners

[spare bloom]

yeah you are not gonna do mini with this much volatility

Yday had so many rotations up and down in hundreds of points which normally takes weeks to do

[thorny dock]

I do forex rn

Is it worth moving to futures

[agile jasper]

for me it was worth it. one way to find out i guess

[muted raptor]

I also think its much better

[delicate yew]

Hello future traders. I was paper trading the futures to get a hang of it

In spite of closing the trades in profit, still my account went in loss

Is this normal ?

For example in below screenshot -

Is this a valid commission which is taken away ?

[nocturne sigil]

Not sure what you broker is doing here but with TradeStation, for micros, they charge $0.50 for each contract on each side. Meaning round trip cost me $1.00 to open and close one contract trade

For full mini NQ, it’s $3.00 round trip for one contract.

So for 3 contracts, it’s total of $9.00 on the full contract of mini NQ

So your $542 fee for 3 shares is a bit excessive. I assume shares is contracts?

[delicate yew]

This is paper trading, lol. I don't know what fees trading view are charging for it.

[spare bloom]

You can input the fee in the settings

for paper trading

[delicate yew]

Hmm, that's looks good. Let me check

Is it necessary to add TP and SL for topstep for each trade?

Or I can add the TP or SL for the trade is executed on TV ? Is this allowed ?

[spare bloom]

it depends on the broker.you have to read TV integration

Cuz the way the broker nets position is different

so in some cases market orders are not allowed

[delicate yew]

Ok.

[spare bloom]

You have to use sl to close the position

[delicate yew]

It's kind of hard. Everything is different in futures

Lol. I am trying to trade. Some or other thing always messes with me up.

[spare bloom]

Yes

I lost money from these things xD

Have to read docs

you hit close by market order and the mofo reverse position instead of closing it

[sturdy wharf]

morning all

[nocturne sigil]

ez long

after the sweep

70 points

oh right there was news on the open

anyways i will try another long

lets see how this goes

[agile jasper]

big flush off 18k

[spare bloom]

sweep imo

🔥

takes balls to hodl this shit

[agile jasper]

100 points bounce

[spare bloom]

🔥

beautiful trades

it might reverse now

it is not magic there are only two key zones i have been watching and it is just bouncing between them

it is in a range atm

dont fight the range if it breaks out

longs are indeed cooking

i could have bought into the pullback

but i didnt

[agile jasper]

the bars are huge

[sturdy wharf]

50 ticks my lord what a move

[spare bloom]

yeah atm nq is not for the faint hearted

ruthless volatility

one 1 minute candle is all it takes to do 100 points suddenly xD

[sturdy wharf]

could have had another 50 if I held

100 ticks on the dow

[agile jasper]

18187 vwap

[spare bloom]

yeah i will try to sell

quick scalp

niiice

quick scalpy

this looks clean 😂

40 points not bad

aight i think i am done for the day

fun trades

hahahaha

this is fun

[urban flint]

Oh boy 2 trades in loosers

😦

[spare bloom]

it is in a range

[urban flint]

jup

I was expecting down, but you should have waited for breakout

should have waited for the breakout up and then down

[spare bloom]

it is trying to break out

but could be false breakout

[urban flint]

I think it will be for sure

[fair socket]

thatll do for me

[urban flint]

I'm not so sure yet

[spare bloom]

if it is worth it go for it

it is all about risk managment anyways

it is not like these trades i took were 100% confidence

it is always 50-50

RR is high enough to make me go for it

for you i took this sell

[urban flint]

🙂

[spare bloom]

see

clean sell

[urban flint]

hehe

I'm still sidelined now looking for short

[spare bloom]

there are so many trades you can take in a day and ofc handful are high probabillity but imo if the probabillity is 50-50 for a good RR you should always take it

doesnt matter if you lose

[urban flint]

True, i'm just in short mode, so that limits it

[spare bloom]

all those ict people make super complicated rules and then their trade is 50-50

I personally dont have a bias cuz the market flips so much in one day it is ridiculous to stick to one bias unless you are long term swinging

[urban flint]

You are correct. A trend has to begin somewhere 🙂

I like my LTF align with HTF trends however

[spare bloom]

reality ltf makes the HTF trend if the movement didnt happen in ltf then it wouldnt have happened in HTF

it is not clear cuz it is usually hard to decipher LTf movement

HTF for me is to just look a generaly structure but LTF is like the car that navigates these structures

anyways it is all bogus

in the end it is whatever the money maker wants to move the market

you cant know 100% what he wants to do but you can guess 50-50

[sturdy wharf]

stay safe yall

[urban flint]

Yea, challening trading day so far

love the challenge 🙂

[spare bloom]

since the nq sweep it did mostly go higher

there is alot of bullish momentum

might go for london highs

[urban flint]

Nice call mate. Well done!
