alright im tweaking about this dow trade now
what's ur Neo Cloud settings
1 and 3
putting myself out there to be hurt again lol
or you can turn off the computer
Don't worry, Ive been hurt before
So have I but in my many months of trading now to the point where I am now on the verge on consistent profitability that if I lose more then 2 trades in a day to just shut down the account and play with paper. No reason to over extend yourself, no need to over trade. The sun will rise tomorrow, the market will open just the same as it always has and you will be refreshed and ready to trade again knowing that you didnt make anything worse. You got this!
Thank you for the motivation! ๐
hey guys, if I trade sp500 do I have to upgrade market data on topstep to level 2? I just purchased the trading combine
if you get level 2 data you will see the passive positions on the DOM. that's it
only if you want to see where sizes in the market. with lvl 1 data you only see 1 above and 1 below the price
got it, so do you think is necessary?
or is it a good upgrade?
vwap here NQ
i used it in the past, use it only if you want to go fancy
got it! so if I trade using just regular candles and indicators is not necessary right?
not neccesary in my opinion
this is what you see with level 2 data
how do you get your levels?
No I went out as soon as catcher turned 1k
lets see if we break 340s here. if we do we run to 400's
if we fail pdl on ES again I may get in again ๐
Area of interest.
nice close for the bulls. I think it might run
Its trying to bust up, but nothing pushing this (yet)
exactly
Anybody using legacy osc? Seems great to me.
I'm buying the breakout and shorting this if fail
I had a good run on the 1hr earlier, with 35ticks on 1C
Some nice trade setups using this strategy on the 1 minute during NY session open.
what is the strategy? thx
I set the sensitivity to 16, candle coloring is confirmation simple & trend catcher at 3. Price action concepts default setting with choch enabled, fvg, prior day high/low & liquidity grabs. Lux Algo sessions are enabled as well to spot session liquidity sweeps. 1)Waiting for market to open. 2) looking for a confirmation signal with candle coloring matching or a choch aligned or preferably both. 3)trend catcher color confirming the direction. 4)Enter position with stop at recent swing.
Take profit at X icon or pivot level or a close under the trend catcher or change of color on trend catcher.
In the example on the right, confirmation signal came with purple candle and choch but trend catcher was still red (no entry). After a couple of candles the candle coloring changed to green along with trend catcher (enter position).
Or a close above or below trend catcher or swing high/low. It's not 100% guaranteed but at least on a 1 minute the risk isn't going to wipe you out.
I was really hoping that PDH on ES would turn into recistence
had to close with a loss
Someone else was hoping that too ๐
On the example on the left you got a confirmation signal with candle coloring matching, then trend catcher went green so you have at least 3 confluence (enter long) it's also a w pattern so on a 3 swing there would be a choch.
not seen that size in a while
Here's another one that just happened. The blue dotted line represents the London high (target). The choch is already in effect (bullish)
That will make sure 5306 is resistance
short squeeze ๐
Someone wants to go 5433 ๐
back from my terrible morning session.
breaktime
sorry, fat fingers here
knew this is coming
Scary volatility with NQ so traded Micro today (following @agile jasper advice) Secured 950$. Will see if some opportunities will show up in PM session. Could have been at least 500$ moreif I wasnโt taken in a revenge trade. Still have to educate myself but overall I had another Green Day ๐ฐ๐ฐ
what do you use?
PAC or Signals & Overlays?
nice job either way
I use PAC for the most partโฆ. I use signal and overlays and Matrix for extra confirmation ๐
If we get another bullish signal with candle coloring, we could push up to R1.
thank you
Hi there, i am new in this platform. I would like to know what setting you would recommend in trading " Options Day trading strategys. " And the best timeframe to use. Thank you.
what's the number on the right?
4671 contracts sell at 4310
Your welcome! Here is an example of a stop loss.
either sellers or long covering
YEaha I know the middle number, but there are some numbers on the right
like 1544
well they did but the trade is done when it got back to the fvg and it bounced from there
you never if price will break a liquidity level
it is always 50-50
or some people thought as break and retest and entered on the retest
it is kinda shitty range atm
we are in monday's gap
@nocturne sigil oh excuse me head mod
some volume numbers no idea really. i didnt learn about them
im always lurking
i must have missed your promotion
hmmm, nothing has changed for over a year

I def haven't been missing that long
Youve been away much too long
I been doing LUX R&D see if I can come up with some new strats
There was someone asking about options a few minutes ago @ornate raven
who?
happy to help
people need to tag me
@severe charm can we get a banner on this page that says "if you have options questions to tag JaeSuite"
Really?
BWAHAHAHAHA
really what? id be happy to help
I know, not sure if we want to label folks here as the go-to expert on something, LOL
then why your name say head mod?
because i am for over a year
where have you been? really?
LOL
trading, making money, enjoying my massive family
Im always around though
Nothing yet on the NQ for you folks?
Waiting for the next dump?
that would be nice, been waiting for that set-up
I was thinking that it could mean the already traded contracts on this level but I am just guessing
This one met the criteria with sell signal & choch on same candle & trend catcher confirming direction. The breaker block gives extra.
This is why you play the trend
18133 at least imo
I mean that gap had massive liquidity resting.
From yesterday
everyone did not have the time to login to fidelity selling market I guess ๐
Looks like their coming back for the morning holders.
200 points drop in 15 mins? what is that๐๐
about 2k profit?
watch
ok this looks like big volume shorts
hedgies are doing dirty work
yeah not a bad area
this flash drop is like 50% of the long progress
people can enter buy for continuation
Wait for confirmed delta volume though
Looks pretty green through, so I think you're right.
great ride
Back up to 400?
idk market is about to close
they can give one more push in last 30 min i guess
if it sells off it is prolly done for the day
this week not much news going on
i think monday used up the whole week's volatility
hope we dont chop rest of the week
aight good night all
still negative volume. caution still above supprot however
night
see you tomorrow! ๐
For transparency this one would have been a stop loss. The sell signal had a better profit. The buy signal about 20 handles max but there would be no way to know where to take profit before holding the bag unless you had a set amount of handles that your taking profit. It has been a fun test run.
3th (and final eval for now) is in. By 4$. On vacation. 
Either extreme lucky these last days or Iโve underestimated my manual trading skills. Big props and thanks to the LuxAlgo community for the streams, chats and support. 
I must say especially the streams were insanely valuable. @nocturne sigil
Nope
Thatโs good to hear
NVDA earnings? good pump
Well done!!
anyone has a good ICT strategy that also luxalgo made an indicator so its easier to identify?
Did you take a short Micky?
Haha, good point. Most my fx are automated, but jpy looked good ๐
@nocturne sigil @agile jasper just an update, Apex sent me this long email that made zero sense about how blew the account and should learn to trade. Terrible customer service. As that email came I was just finishing $1,000 day on micro ES & NQ, maybe Iโm not that stupid๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
I believe that there's quite a lot of info about ICT strategies on the web too, saw some people using ICT silver bullet strategy.. ๐ค
I only trade the fx with highest volume. To little moves lately.
Do you like this strat better on 1 minute or 5 minute? It's set to 16 sensitivity no matter what.
The pac structure fib strat?
It has signals and overlays & pac. I like the fib strat but dll & mll makes it tough to trade unless I'm on a 1 lot micro.
For signals overlays, i like them on all TF's including lower TF's
For PAC, Im best with higher TF's
what's the email lets see
1H up to Daily
Meant to post it here, like this
Yeah, if you have the means and you are consistent, just take it slow and steady with your own cash account, take little pieces and build from there.
Is that line trend catcher or trend tracer?
Would love to know your strategy
Trend catcher default 3. Lux Algo strategy is signals/overlays with sensitivity set to 16, PAC with 5 swing structure, liquidity grab, fvg & pdh/pdl enabled, Lux Algo sessions & classic floor pivots. 1) Wait for market open (volume comes in) 2) Wait for confirmation signal, choch, candle coloring & trend catcher to align (preferably after a session sweep but not necessary) or a pivot level. 3) Enter position with stop at recent swing high/low or change in trend catcher. 4) target pivot level, session high/low or Wait for an X exit. The 30 minute chart is a different strategy, more of a volume profile/buy vs. sell volume & pivot levels.
How i can get alert if the strong up trend or downtrend for example number 2 red , number two the green one ?
your chart is fire, bro
New to luxalgo and fire of a day to pass 2 topstep challenges. Got to say these indicators are amazing.

Are we going upper and upper today?
Thank you! I'll have to check out more of the videos. The indicators have been helpful as I'm also learning more ICT strategies to use with them and so far just from this week it's been great. need to check in on those live streams for sure.
Do drop in the livestreams, Micky answers questions in depth and in real time so it's well worth it.
Thanks brother, working on it.
testing on demo...
nq is boring today
guess i was right with the chop
will wait for ny to see
monday used up all week's volatillity
What indicator are you using?
Keep being on wrong side appears have to sell at midnight and buy in 7:00? Do you have a list of best times to buy and when to short?
pac and s&o
It working great? Or can you tell me the time frame please
its nice, 3m
Thanks for the feedback
Lets talk about Crypto here
ETH, as in micro ETH futures
1 tick is $0.05
I think I found a safe symbol, LOL
So far up by 20 ticks

Taking this higher? hmmm
Yea, by yellow line I'll watch the reaction. I say we are due for the wave 2 to start from the initial dump
Kind of like this. on HTF.
Not bad...I like that path
For now, waiting game, but really that is my long term play.
I guess I could draw some fib lines on that to find better assessments.
Also that LH by the OB's was what made me think new trend, including elliot doing ABC before breaking and establishing a new trend at 5433
So if that's true, we should be somewhere around 2 and drop will begin once golden zone hits.
Seems logical
Hehe, we're already above it so maybe .5 ๐
Over that would invalid
anyway, DYR, not saying it will happen, just some research and my play.
Where's that disclaimer statement when you need it ๐
gold is looking good
Mickys streaming LIVE right now! https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1178430832151638077

Yea, It will open higher then down IMO
huge 3 minutes opening range NQ
sniped that sell
holy
well it is looking bullish tho
could reverse if it was sweep
there was an fvg from last friday i used it to sell lol
it was 50-50
wow that fvg is holding smh
tougher than i thought
I would like to know if the tradingview essential plan is suitable for the Luxalgo essential plan
ok fvg is gone
it is. you will be limited to 2 indicators on the chart in the same time
that's CAD news
well market gotta use something
no news today
it doesnt matter even if it is bs
just an excuse to move the market
i'm still happy to trade micros these days
almost at gap
$28 ATR, 1 bar = $600 with 1 mini
session's vwap has been supportive so far
100 contracts at 550
i got that scalp
i just noticed there is a 1hr ob
we are reacting from
well reacting for scalps xD
it could be goner after news
YM Long sig
got one of my short filled.
Great start ..
Acceptance above value? Nice start to the day!
Gap
yeah maybe
it was a sweep
?
we filled that candle like nothing
market been very bullish
kinda hard to break this structure
sellers failed many times to push price down
did you get out because that was like a 1000$ hit on the low right there big dog
but that is news candle
what setting do you have on your chart?
Still in โฆ
Sorry Iโm at the bank trying to wire money to FTT lol
12 sensitivity
TURN EVERYTHING OFF โ๏ธ
Loss on that Sig.
Done for now . Will look for another sig later.
The idea.
Trend catcher signaling a potential change.
For signals : NQ & MNQ are not always the same. You may have to adjust between the two. 12 for Micros / 14-16 for NQs
Negative 40792k delta on last 30 minute candle but still slightly above value & sitting at R1.
I suspect we are in correction down territory
stuck in a range for now
seen more action during asia session last night than today during NY
๐
nasty NY
only rats and garbage imo
Gold as well
If I say something different, then I'm in a penthouse
Yea, gold looks good
pretty low volume on ES and NQ
I closedy pc after news
No one looking at crude?
Yes, crude looked good towards 77 again
Sellers getting absorbed. Can we push?
100 points off the vwap
Important close in 10
didn't take the trade lol
Now I donโt have to do it manually. Nice, seems aligned too with my measurements from this morning ๐ฅ
What a chop
Cip of Crude Mocha?
Nice opening drive, price seems to be accepting above value but very choppy & indecisive. Could be a failed upside auction or just consolidation before a move higher & there is no way to know which one. Usually it will not hesitate this much if it wants to return into value.
NQ dont wanna play today
we lost vwap
Price attempting to return into value and fail the upside auction. It may hammer up which would be bullish but if we close inside value, there will be an 80% chance we rotate to value area low.
Did gold just fakeout?
100+ points moves are a standard now
yeah
Go find it
What do you folks think now?
Thats a deep 4H bearish candle
Similar on NQ
What do you think of the updated P.A.C. ?
Makes it easier for me to frame my PAC structure for micro Premium/Discount levels

Just about there.
Closed here
i am prolly the only person who bought for the long xD
but it was indeed good sell after it broke the range
nice reversal
this market just goes both ways nowadays
Done for the day?
Kind of, got a short gamble on GC
We know in the long run, should be bullish
Yea, it is, I just got a 5 min short signal that I trust ๐
super quick
got a NQ ES signal to short
Check
Right lol
I can smell something being set up soonโฆ.
you smell a long ?
So far while price is moving lower, developing value is still much higher but there is still plenty of time for developing value to possibly migrate lower.
No clue, I was just stirring the pot
long is cooking

for now
Scalping this and closing at NY close? Or holding do or die?
nah i am done for the day
market is looking bearish as hell
with those big red candles xD
this zone is the low of the day
it is gonna make new lows if it breaks this
If developing value stays high and we close short in the hole, Asia could present an opportunity.
well it is worth buying at the lows
very small stop loss
the hedgies might reverse this shit who knows
Still a negative delta of around 30k (falling knife) could change.
Some buyers stepping in to narrow the delta to about negative 20k (an improvement).
we still got 90 min anything can happen
I think youโre right
Gold just hit TP.
Still delta negative but showing a little improvement. Currently a weak 1 tick low.

Buyers coming in
dirty hedgies i told you
Another Green Day. Difficult to get usual profit with microโฆ. But secured anyway 1250$ and a 90% win rate. Can be satisfied.
Quik 5 handles
Are they going to cover the bearish candle? Is it enough time?
sure
plenty of time do to a 200 point smove
30k positive delta so far.
I like this ALOT better than the 1 & 5 minute charts.
Buyers outpacing by over 2 to 1 so far.
Sellers starting to narrow the delta. Still 24k positive with about 5 minutes. Now less than 20k positive with about 2 minutes.
Still developing value is way up above maybe a sneaky Asia lift?
I like this delta volume because you can see that crude this morning had a big red down candle toward R1 but there were actually more buyers than sellers in that candle & price ended up launching up to R2.
So far sellers are ahead into the close.
lol oh shoot didnโt know there was a futures chart area I been only posting in hangout
Closed short in the hole & somehow on the last few seconds there ended up being more buyers than sellers in that candle.
Post away.....I get bored in ther as well, LOL
We need charts everywhere

What a dayโฆ. Secured 1400$ and almost 90% win rate. Played micro โฆ. Wouldnโt have imagined what could have been done with mini โฆ. But scary volatility and happy like that.
@nocturne sigil is there a way to creat rooms for gold for pairs for crypto for ppl to trade live with each others ? they can entre when eva they wants and leave when they wants.
of course only for trading with Lux package as a Mod u can ban anyone who use other private indicators ? this will give lux a hug ๐๐ป bc ppl are trading together with lux tools but only in chat would be easy if there is rooms for it ? what do u thing idn if the policy will approve ?
Sounds awesome but a lot of people take positions based on not soley Lux Algo but other outside confirmations or combinations of strategies. Also, not everyone trades the same underlinings like some may take naked futures, some options, some option spreads or a combination of underlinings. The final issue would be risk criteria, since someone may be "scalping sized" but maybe following someone in defined risk or sized for a larger wiggle room. But i do like the idea just wonder if it can be pulled off
id like to follow along with some of these crytp exerts lol
thatโs what i was going to say go to crypto chat and see how they trade together. the idea is not to follow someone never, the idea is to share the point of views and base on that taking the trades and the call is up to u, if u want to take the trades or just be a listener.
would be grate to have one for gold for exp
or for silver, gold , oil โฆ
one for forex
one for crypto only to learn for newbies for exp
for sure the room could be empty all the time because ppl donโt want to share ( thiere point of view ) but we are playing against a big big whales on the market
if there was no sharing at the beginning the market would be only for big institutions.
sharing is what made trading accessible.
wait.. isnt that what is already here?
yeah maybe u right, i was wrong never mind ๐
Most likely not anytime soon, we did have these rooms but didnt work out, and as a mod, there is no way to monitor this 24/7
It's just not feasible as this community is not a one strategy set-up group, but a community that uses toolkits in numerous of ways.
This is why we do have these rooms, for crypto, futures, forex....to subdivide each of these would be a never ending task. If we create one for gold, do we create seperate rooms for the thousands of symbols out there?
But we will keep brainstorming.....
sup
zup
how are you today micky
Just resting and playing around with charts
Hey Micky you start trading crypto I saw your scalping trades
good
LOL
Just BTC and ETH futures
Best of luck
also we learn a lot
Hello guys
hey there ๐
Congrats Benjy.
Thank you! One more to go.
Cool.
Look at you
๐ซต
Wow, not easy to do. Congrats!
Awesome Benjy!!
Kicking a**
which is better apex or topstep
Topstep
Thank you all! One more and Ill have a full board besides a live account frpm topstep. One day they might bump me up if i'm good enough.
Nice!! Well done!
Thank you all!
Sneaking back up ๐คซ This time I'll be surprised if we close above the pivot and start accepting inside of value because value is very elongated but anything can happen I suppose.
Getting some ideas from you guys. It's like teaching an old dog new tricks.
gotta love after after market hours
Ichimoku๐ฝ
Is that Ichimoku?!?!?!
You legend welcome to the club
whats up
Nq hour decision timeโฆ LL or HH
Do you know a place where you can learn more about ichi? Idk why it has offset from candles etc.
Ok, now im starting to notice why ichi cloud offset is op in some ways
is it too much indicators?
Chi cloud offset?
It is OP because it's slower it prints the current trend but 26 candles forward. The reason for this is to show developing trends smoother then other indicators it pairs really well with the trend catcher from S&O
thanks for the tip, will try it on live markets
idk but i prefer to live test than bar replay

Wow that works well
probably need more tinkering but just off looks
Maybe ill make this into a user strategy
Have no idea what yall talking bout lol
Am I being punked?
no idea either, I think they're elements from the ichi cloud ๐
Just listening how Micky is talking about pile and succesful traders and im like some day maybe it will work. But there is Benjy and other members that made it and that gives me more courage and hope. THX for that.
numbers in 25
Not someday maybe it will work, someday it will work. You got plenty of time, dont force it. Nose to the grindstone. The reason why I think I am getting it faster is #1 Being here in the discord server listening to some of these veterans especially @nocturne sigil. As i've said on stream I just show up and pay attention. I still have a long way to go but I spend time documenting my trades, studying how price action affects an indicator that I like, and back testing + analyzing charts most of my day. Keep working at it, keep your mental capital high, start slow, you got this! We are all here for you.
thanks for that๐
yes i scalped 20 points short
Still doing homework, but yea I did see the candles move lol
jobless claims
I assume we are all getting fired, just like the company I work for ๐
Which is great for the market and rate cut T-10 J Pow Pow
OHHHHHH Dang
Short?
yes quick 5 second scalp
Anyone?
i mean you gotta be fast as hell
No trading today - Just watching the breakdown
Enjoy your weekend team
#LuxAlgoFam
most people would take tp there if they were trading news
no sane person would get such a big move and not take tp
xD
true
that was like 240 points overall ?
into a big gap now?
yeah now will see if it breaks this level or not
it is chopping around it
micky likes scalping in 1 second TF i heard @nocturne sigil is he human xD
LOLLLLLLLL
F that
LOLLLLL
Im still licking my wounds from a stupid FX swing play that didnt go my way
LOL
Yea, micky I got some alerts during that move too lol
lost 30pips on that one
๐ฌ
My automations took a loss there on FX trades
you risk 1% ?
cuz pips dont matter it is all about how much you risked
if it was like 5-10% then would hurt for sure
pain inside chest with that risk
or maybe its a good exricise to than be emoition less riskin 1-2%
FX been rough this year...swings are tough to come by
been mostly doing crypto and nq...forex i rarely dabble in them now
I had a super obvious short and volume kept selling and price went higher for like 2 weeks, then dropped a bit but then recovered on one pair
the more geopolitical and econimical nonsense between pairs i have to deal with the more headaches i got
thats why i would rather focus on nq and crypto
which is focused mainly by US news
Hence I started trading futures. more active.
FX not good for scalping right?
depends on your spread
Yeah. more alive, more excitement, more band aids
i feel it
since 95% of the people who trade nq use 1 min and 5 min
dont forget about the 5s gang

this guy
Thats fast
but have you met the 1s peeps?
so we wait till open i think๐ค
I've looked at all my charts today and basically saying.. what to trade?
๐
I guess, its a 10am day
nq is the mother of chop today...only now we got a break out
if it gets back into the chop city
it wont ever get out
If 10am close above 18075 then I may look for a quick long. If not I'd love to get more shorts
when stream
He's putting on his hero cape first
A man for the people by the people etc. etc.
Like lol.
I'm not trading that ๐
i am done for the day
I wish
got my two main trades in london
Nicely done. I'm just going to sit here listen to some music
yeah
Wait for some backtest signals, maybe I'll take that, and get lunch money
I said few days ago the market will be very choppy. even if you look at 4hs you see were were pretty much doing nothing just up and down in same range until we had the news
exactly
you called it
Even if this happens I really don't want it.. if so it will be a quick trade and has to be with some volume
I'm still bearish on the market sentiment
Levels on levels.
Itโs waves ๐
Bullish on 1 wave
Bearish on another
Etc waves ๐ ๐งโโ๏ธ
15M Bullish Sig. ideal target can be that PoC.
Still in my NQ 10 day short swing until invalidated
the answer is ping pong
Will start ranging?
helps to zoom out if the current time frame is not clear
probably
market is scared from the pssible war
true, 4H might not be enough
so much uncertainity
if the market pumps hard then we get war news then crash will be massive
most big money prolly waiting on the sidelines
recession fears,war,etc
Im small money so its my job to be braindead
for us small scalps are enough
big money is the liquidity provider
monday we had almost no liquidity
market was dropping like a feather
I wish I was awake to see it
that 1100 points move xD
but yeah practice caution and good risk managment
alot of the people here moved to mnq instead of nq to reduce risk
i use NQ option spreads to reduce risk and keep it defined
allows me to be more patient with my swings
got excited for a sec, got a signal, but it was a close this trade signal haha
it is nothing but chop
we are sandwiched by the news candle and the supply zone above it
18025 vwap
we are looking like a gap fill on NQ
Grabbed a GC long
qqq gap fill
i scalped twice on vwap xD

big reversal
@nocturne sigil GM Micky, can you please cover SPY or SPX too?
Damnโฆ. Wanted to trade micro trade mini instead ๐ก. Panicked and started day down 1300$โฆ.. covered the first 300$ . Letโs see if can we get profit after this fist bad step
Sorry to hear that, i did something like this once and was angry but just happens .
atm market is highly choppy
Just have keep calmโฆ. What a unintentional mistake๐ก
Good long incoming on GC
Multitasking๐๐๐
yday i started the day with -5% acc i ended it with 10% profit
Covered 100$ moreโฆ. 900$ to go. Just keeping calm. Will be difficult to cover a mistake done with mini using micro. But I believe if I donโt stress I will do it
new session highs
gotta admit yday was my toughest day of the week
but stay calm and you can recover
even if not today
there is always tomorrow
Yesโฆ up we have yesterday PM session high. And not that far
Thanks
One down ,one up
gj
you swing trading ?
i think you will prolly get that if a war starts otherwise it will prolly retrace
I will get that for sure.
If a war break out that would be good for gold I guess?
Store of value in a recession
gold always skyrockets during any war news
ima see you guys later.take care and gl on your trading
Wow, another 80% rule in effect. 5 minutes until initial balance ๐
lets see if we get 560's, yesterday's high
man i love everything about futures
avg pullbacks 40 points so buy the dip day?
I'll be happy to take 1 off at 5325.5 & leave a runner.
Closed above initial balance & still delta positive.
Some resistance here at R1 & a bearish FVG but positive delta so far and an 80% rule in effect. Maybe a dip buy into the bullish fvg then back up?
this is the biggest pullback we seen for the day
auction in 5, heads up
auction in 1.5h
Plenty of buyers on this down candle, more than sellers so far with 5 minutes to go.
4w in 5, 30yr in 1.5h
Looking to sell last lot at 5342.00 near POC & done for the day ๐
I know im the only swing contrarian here but im still short nq on my swing.. until proven otherwise
that higher high or change ont he 4 hour would switch me over
I bought the pullback while I was walking outside 

you should move outside then ๐
i need to do some walking maybe i can get your entries
Yeah I find walking great to calm my mind after a long day
I walk and review what I did
always try to de-clutter your brain so you can think clearly on your next trade
ya for a day trade i agree
new highs
went right through the old level
18580 yesterday's high still on the radar for today
Imagine you held your long from that vwap bounce ๐
could have doubled your acc with that
I have but you basically pull all nighter
yeah i did an all nighter on a combine but wouldn't risk my funded accounts with that
i need the heart to be pumping ๐
To the moon?
Lux Algo signature move incoming ๐
PoC accomplished
What do you see coming?
I avoid taking late night trades now so I can sleep
A green dot on HW with bullish overflow and money flow above threshold. I say we break out now to the upside. Side note Iโm talking gold baby ๐
Will the 15m do a reject soon?
Aint gonna reject with no news
Could be just an empty house
Easily invaded by bulls
that is the best options broker?
They are buying gold like crazy thatโs what I see
If thats the case, you know what to do...
I might get in that pray for me
Oh boy
DOes look interesting though
would love to see structure to the downside first
then the pull back under the OB

If it doesnt happen, then sit on hands for me
and wave everyone goodbye
Ill wait for the next rocket
hey guys, is there a simple strategy using signals and overlays?
hello, please have a look at #1128499789437354106
micky also goes over strategy ideas in his daily livestreams, past recordings can be found here #1199356285813006367
tks a lot!!
Did you get this scalp?
So far i don't see the sellers getting anywhere. After lunch push up?
news in 10 minutes will be the catalyst
Yes I got in abit late but I think im ok ๐
I also need help with this template. Do you use it only for NY session? Do you constantly adjust the optimal sensitivity or set it somewhere? I'll add the chikou.
news soon
any second now
Hey Micky, using the signals and overlay - what does the hollow candles mean and filled for both red & green candles represent?
I think you did not disable the borders on the candles, can you send a screenshot?
I do have the boarders disabled, here:
I use the full candles
But the hollow is just a visual for a bullish candle
Well that yield increase did not impact NQ hm
middle of the range now
Iโll be looking at a short at 18550 let me know when
Were you skydiving?
๐๐๐
Took a quick es long scalp
do we take the highs?
Potentially a fakeout Iโm thinking
I mean someone mentioned war and some shit overseas. I bet that will be the headline soon to drag it down
For now, Iโm just playing level to level
i don't want to be the only buyer here
we took the high
Common ape bananas into 185 resistance haha
๐
one more try to bust up?
Please
Did someone talked with you Micky on stream?
or should i say Mr. Micky
?
like community member on mic
oh, not today
no one step forward
they were all shy today
hahah, thx for the info
Hmmm, i could try but im not profitable yet
Thats cool, you dont need to be profitable or not.
Whenever you are ready, give me a shout in the stream
Was that it?
Close above 18520 and Iโm out again
@rain sun I'm going to copy your nzdjpy contract bro, could you suggest a sensible sl for me?
loses are part of the game
TopStep better collect those fees to pay you out
HERE WE GO
๐ช
You have to ask yourself here, who in the right mind would buy this level.
Time to dump
That bearish structure will form, just holddddddd
I have no idea what I am talking about....

no clue
50/50
ok i will long
Would be a nice 1/4
But who knows
Gotta wait for the setup
long is cooking 
We can go long too
2 paths
5 sec?
took 2 minutes
Bearish 1m structures
reason for the long is simple we retraced back the breakout zone from after news


Iโm deep short for sure
I dont have complicated rules i do both long and shorts since i am mostly scalping but atm bulls are still in control
Of course they will fuck with the shorts first
well you are going against the today's trend
Straight into a massive ob and daily itโs still a HL
nq people are super simple they follow trend all the way .it is only during shitty days when it is going up and down without a direction they just dont follow trend anymore
market recovery from tuesday gave people hope to continue the rally
even when you look in crypto alot of the coins recovered
yeah i told you
another long
ez scalp
you can make money just following the trend
why bust your ass trying to go against it...thats the hedgies job
if they dont break it then you stick to it
thats what im working on
my 1 rule is; dont time reversal
btw finding ichi cloud as nice support
now i see why nq is scalper haven
yes
im thinking chop chop, but im not an expert
hmm, ill grab my popcorn and watch than
dont trade power hour if you are new
cool, thats a good point to know that, thx
you either bank or have sleepless nights xDDD
i feel it
mm i am seeing some selling pressure now
i think most people are booking profits that might cause price to drop
((Boom))
Its tryin'
@nocturne sigil i not going to lie i was down 250 early I got out waited to go back in
Yeah, you finally got this, nice job
what a rally
Let it run? ๐
not sure if we have earnings today. i can't hold overnight
new highs
Me neither. I am done for today, closed the long from London's low.
big long well done
Small position so not that big win but still some recovery after unsuccessfully days.
Well done โฆ. I ve never been 100% or maybe I ve been 100% for some days around December January โฆ. But wow. Today I m down 700$ โฆ. Looking back I ve been doing good except the mistake I did using 5 min instead of micro unintentional (costed me 1300$ ) and looking the chart I probably havenโt trade the best part of the AM session (o believe from 9:00 till 10.00 or something) being busy with kids. Without that I ve probably been green even today. Overall happy I didnโt revenge trades and thatโs is better then profit day knowing myself.
80% rule came through today.
what is 80% rule
Curious
During regular trading hours if a 30 minute candle comes back into the prior days value, closes inside of value and the open of the next 30 minute candle is inside of value, there is an 80% chance that price will move to the other side of value area (high or low). It's not 100% but you saw this occurr yesterday & now today.
and who told you it is 80%
I learned this from Peter Resnicek & Jim Dalton as part of a market profile course. Both were head institutional traders for major firms.
i mean it is a cool concept but idk if it is 80%
There is an argument that it also depends on market internals like tick distribution, breath & volume.
you only needed to press buy on every pullback
Hehe true
In hindsight you are right
I mean I looked at it this morning and was like.. It's going to go up to range high. But did not want to play that way in case it turned.
Like this.
looks like i need to swtich directions now ๐ฆ
We also saw price close short in the hole yesterday which caught people short at bad prices.
yeah but london changed things
And Asia with a nice hammer then push up.
we had a good short then reveresed hard after
to the moon
yeah .i mean we have corrections and recessions and market always eventually bounced back and made higher highs
we got perma bulls but nobody can be perma bear
anyways time to go to bed
gn
Trying to learn and develop the signals & overlays template. I noticed that you are using a 3 minute with signals & candle coloring. Do you have a set sensitivity?
I could have just taken these ๐
3 minutes sensitivity 12
Thank you ๐ and do you only trade NY session?
sometimes fomo kicks in during london and asia open but i am working on teaching myself to trade paper money during those times. just NY
Copy that ๐
as a Spurs/Wemby fan im double happy
Also i exited my short swings and switched long.. sigh
this is probably the most chillest discord channel ive been in, with regards to trading w others
You were right tho. It did go up
