new highs, amazing

[spare bloom]

Market will go 19k afterall

[agile jasper]

guess @nocturne sigil will need to wait longer for 17k

[spare bloom]

i mean i was surprised we didnt hit 19k on the open but guess we do it now

Market could just rugpull again as well

crazy market

[agile jasper]

360 points dump, 400 points recovery 😂

[polar spruce]

just V's everywhere

[nocturne sigil]

👀

[potent dawn]

Good afternoon everyone I was hoping that I could get you all perspectives on trailing stoploss

[sturdy wharf]

LMAO

[agile jasper]

19k

[agile jasper]

it's all subjective, how tight you want to trail your profits

[agile jasper]

is that a W or a L?

[sturdy wharf]

meh

id like it to be higher but I over traded a little today

[cerulean summit]

we always rally on 9/11, remember that for next year

[cerulean summit]

not bad bro

[sturdy wharf]

I probably lost like 600$ overtrading

[cerulean summit]

the commissions & slippage are always a killer

depending on how many lots you are trading tho

[sturdy wharf]

1

[nocturne sigil]

You didnt show up? Someone took the mic and gave you props

[urban flint]

Man, Trend Catcher and Tracer on 1min NQ is insane.

[sturdy wharf]

wait what

I miss ONE day of class

I decide to skip school for ONE day

[agile jasper]

not allowed to skip

[urban flint]

Just mental how well that works just to follow this

[spare bloom]

Next wed will be the fed interest rate decision

[sturdy wharf]

Lmao I did get a shout out

@cedar flicker Thank you!

@nocturne sigil had a great reaction

[nocturne sigil]

[formal sparrow]

What are your settings for both the trend catcher and tracer?

[agile jasper]

.25

[urban flint]

It's crazy how well that actually work with such simple strategy. Basically both red short and once one turns green close. and revers for long. lol

[sturdy wharf]

smack had a really good strat for this in the user strategy area holda ill tag you it was almost exactly like that @urban flint

https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1133545098546774136

[urban flint]

Ohh really. Yea, I am testing some other days and sessions, but with a few of my other ways of reading the market, it works really well.

I mean if you know the general direction of the trend on HTF, you can easy just follow this on a 1min

The only time you get in trouble is news.

You also have to be a bit smart on where to take profit, but in general if you have a good strategy this is by far the easiest trading i've seen.

basically both red = short, both green = long, anything else exit. take profit when price is crossing desired MA lol

Pretty darn simple

If you also do an analysis on HTF you would find the general direction, so now you can just follow all long or all short

got a 100% on 3 days and 80% on two

[agile jasper]

what a run!!

[urban flint]

Yeah check 1h

We turned with authority

[agile jasper]

we sure did

[nocturne sigil]

Patience, and 17 will be ours

[tiny tapir]

[cerulean summit]

how do I find these chart layouts you got ?

[nocturne sigil]

I go through the settings on all my charts in the Live Streams

Two sets os Signals and Overlays with NeoCloud 1 and 3 length for each set
Auto pilot long term
Candle color confirmation
Signals confirmation and exits

#1199356285813006367

[cerulean summit]

Thank you!

[cerulean summit]

do you disable the signals for one of the sets

[supple lava]

meedless to say stopped out of my short swing lol

[cerulean summit]

one thing I learned is to never go short on 9/11, historically this day rallies due to sentiment.

[supple lava]

oh i don't pay attention to anything but my strat

no news, no events, just the rules i have set

[cerulean summit]

mhmm i see, well to improve your stat id look into historical data, septmeber is usally the month where the market starts to bleed due to "harvest" season I call it. The 20 year avg return is -1.10%

I hope that helps!

[supple lava]

nope i think it's all noise personally brother. Im glad it works for you tho

NQ swing signal for long almost confirmed now

🙂 will enter long if it closees in 15 minutes

[cerulean summit]

Okay, but please once in a while look at fundamentals, since everything is derived from people reacting! You dont have to look at it everyday but one a week should be fine.

[supple lava]

lol i have done plenty of studies on fundamentals my research showed it's nothign but a coin flip

99% retail traders are reacting too early or too late.

I rather have a strat i can back test and follow with predifned rules

than trying to outthink the news or events. I'll leave that to the much more educated and qualifed economist out there

[spare bloom]

yeah thats good too

fundamentals are important imo tho cant trade blindly without them like if powell says he is gonna hike 75 points next week you will be full margin sell now matter what the chart looks like right now

[cerulean summit]

the goal is to increase your probability of an efficient trade tho, and if factoring 2% of fundamentals boost your chances of winning a trade - wouldn't you take that...thats how i think of it. Just game theory

[spare bloom]

you are correct

you cant ignore fundementals

if a company declares bankruptcy you aint gonna catch a falling knife

it is done and cooked

doesnt matter if rsi is oversold

[supple lava]

I can ignore fundementals lol

works just fine for me

i got stopped out today but i took profit 5 times before stop out

swings dont always work but when they do they are big

[spare bloom]

i started as a swing trader and I mainly focused on fundementals and nothing else and i would hold my trades for weeks and months

[cerulean summit]

okay! if it works then thats awesome fr

Less stress

[supple lava]

eveyrone has to find their niche to make it in this game

mine is swings with trend and ignoring everything else, all other tries failed for me during draw downs.

[spare bloom]

insane rally on nq 640 points

[agile jasper]

didn't even realise power hour is on now

[nocturne sigil]

late

[agile jasper]

lol the dump 😂

as I was watching boom 40 points dump

19200 ticked

[tiny tapir]

respect to the swing traders. I sleep better at night with my profit and no risk on the table.

[nocturne sigil]

Which way?

[agile jasper]

Nice moves on NQ 😁

CPI was overnight for me so happy to wake up to this.

[atomic meteor]

sorry if this has been answered already, but what is an ideal laptop to get for trading? like what specs do you look for in a laptop? especially for quick scalping futures trading where performance needs to be fast.

[fathom trench]

Maybe you answered your question already? “ performance needs to be fast” :thinking . I have an Asus gaming laptop. No complaints so far and have 1 extra monitor hooked up to it.

[mental sky]

I use a MacBook laptop. But any computer with a screen and a good internet connection should suffice. I’m not an IT guy but I wouldn’t have thought running a couple of windows for TradingView and a broker would require particularly high specs. I use my phone as much as my laptop for trading.

[atomic meteor]

that's cool. i'm using two monitors to connect to a docking station so need the graphics and monitors to not lag or be glitchy

[tiny tapir]

I use a custom built trading computer from Orbital Computers. 128 GB ram, and ports for 5 screens. Lightning fast and I have around 6 charts open.

[atomic meteor]

that sounds awesome. 128 GB ram is a beast

[tiny tapir]

almost certainly overkill lol, but I was running NT8 and TV when I got it, and NT8 is a RAM hog. Not a fan of that software at all.

[atomic meteor]

did you get the x1000 or x2000?

[tiny tapir]

x1000

[mental sky]

Did not even know it was possible to buy computers with that much RAM. Insane!

[sturdy wharf]

I feel like white line is a good goal

It could break above it or come all the way back to BE

I lied LMAO

19293.50

I know it wants it

[mental sky]

This is getting messy, apologies.

Top of potential flag isn’t far above.

[sturdy wharf]

you in on this BOS?

it would be better if it was above the strong high

[mental sky]

I’ve been pyramidding in from 18.4. I’ll consider adding more if it pulls back a bit.

[sturdy wharf]

im out lol it feels weak might need to come lower

[mental sky]

Yeah I think it will soon.

However, I think the uptrend will continue going into FOMC.

ECB rate decision today. 25bps predicted.

But US initial jobless claims could ruin the party.

[sturdy wharf]

Retail sales as well

[mental sky]

Hard to know how the markets will interpret the data though.

Everyone is trying to decide how much the fed will cut; 25 or 50bps.

Weak employment data would increase the chances of 50bps (I still think this is unlikely) —> markets may paradoxically go up. Vice versa for strong employment data and sales.

I’ll just have SL in profit

[sturdy wharf]

Id 25 seems more reasonable but any cut is fine tbh

[mental sky]

Agree. J Powell wouldn’t even entertain 2024 cuts until a few weeks ago. 50bps out of the block would be unusual and a bit concerning.

But I think some people will hope for 50bps —> correction after FOMC.

[surreal urchin]

[sturdy wharf]

I fomo'd into NQ and it worked out, this is only fueling my bad decision making skills

[agile jasper]

was tempted to do it but done it on paper

[sturdy wharf]

smarter then me

it barely tapped me out and then jumped back out so I crashed out after it broke that range LMAO

[agile jasper]

had paper mnq loaded up on the news and took trades on that

london was boring so i stayed away from the charts

would have been chopped out most probably

[sturdy wharf]

didnt they cut rates?

[agile jasper]

who?

NQ doesn't care about ECB

[sturdy wharf]

oh I just meant all futures, I didnt know you were just watching NQ lol

[agile jasper]

NQ is my baby

[spare bloom]

not bad short scalp

waiting for nyse open

ppi numbers missed

[spare bloom]

yeah idk i dont like the longs

[sturdy wharf]

it does feel weaker

theres the cut

[spare bloom]

we are in no good demand for good buys

we need atleast 100 points down

but you never know with this market

id rather focus on shorts

but being careful not to get reversed xD

[sturdy wharf]

Im done for the day i think.

[spare bloom]

here we go

[sturdy wharf]

I dont wanna over extend myself I got 22 points from a short and 25 from a long im done

[spare bloom]

ok it is wicking it seems

let see if we short the pullback

could be going up now

yeah this looks pretty strong push

might focus on longs now

[agile jasper]

big push

[spare bloom]

thats was like 80 points from lows

[agile jasper]

still choppy and inside the opening range

[spare bloom]

yeah i scalped 30 points long on that push

not bad

gold is mooning

maybe i should have bought gold instead

[agile jasper]

[spare bloom]

[sturdy wharf]

that was a WILD coil

[spare bloom]

[agile jasper]

[muted marlin]

Yea flaming bag of dogsh!t gross

[sturdy wharf]

you're a trader its in your blood

[snow junco]

Man love lux

[sturdy wharf]

I was up 700 said I would stop now im up 300

[zenith narwhal]

I think that could be an 'interesting' market. Just making accounts, having 5 evals complete and than sell the account.

Like selling Steam of League of Legends accounts

too bad it's stamped on your ID and stuff

[sturdy wharf]

people do this

[agile jasper]

well no way I could trade more today, made sure of this

[sturdy wharf]

there are people who will fund your accounts for you or pass your evals its wild

[sturdy wharf]

smart

[agile jasper]

would be a great business

[sturdy wharf]

I wish tradovate would let me lock my account

[zenith narwhal]

Ye on fiver probably haha

[agile jasper]

[sturdy wharf]

[urban flint]

Feels like an incoming short squeeze imo

NQ looks strong

They constantly fail trying to take it down 🙂

[agile jasper]

short again at 350-360

CL mooning

that's the push

[urban flint]

I’m long NQ 🙂

[agile jasper]

and rug pulled again

80 points rugpull

[urban flint]

So much for that long 🙂

Haha

[agile jasper]

lol

back into the range

[urban flint]

I’m telling you. They are really trying to make it go down but struggles

It’s funny. Someone is really sweating with the shorts

[delicate yew]

fucking rough day in NQ

[urban flint]

Haha yeah overtrading here as well

Not easy

[urban flint]

Lot of conflicting signals. Best to wait

[delicate yew]

lol cant wait much, now

i am out from short. lol

[spare bloom]

I shorted 19370 was a nice drop

i am done for the day now

idk if we going down or up

too risky to catch a knife at the top

[urban flint]

Just took a short

We shall see lol

[spare bloom]

shorting is better than longing

the longs failed to go to 400s

But i am scared to short again now

sudden pump would mean new highs

[delicate yew]

I am shorting again to see my luck - lol

if it fall from the cliff - it will be nice move

yeah people wanted a pullback to buy i guess

but that pullback doesnt work and sells off again then we can see it going lower

[urban flint]

Yea, back to waiting for me

[spare bloom]

[urban flint]

My play was short to support

[spare bloom]

out now

waiting for news

[urban flint]

all my indicators tell me do nothing 🙂

[spare bloom]

thats the best thing to do

you could also take the dayoff

[urban flint]

I can just see how this 4h will close below and then down to 19360 for more liq

[spare bloom]

atm it is trying to breakout

[urban flint]

Hence I took it

Range bound

[spare bloom]

yeah better wait for the break

up or down

trading inside this range you will just get fucked if it breaks the wrong side

[urban flint]

My pre market analysis was to take short here for what It's worth, need confim on that though

[spare bloom]

premarket yeah but the volume was so dead it took hours to just drop like 30 points?

[agile jasper]

a lot of squeeze

[urban flint]

Nahh I mean like 4h and 1 day analysis, it called for a pullback

[spare bloom]

well ofc people want pullback

but the hedgies arent giving you one

they want you to buy high hahaha

[urban flint]

Close below 19466 and I'll go short

[spare bloom]

but in my experience if price doesnt retrace much thats a sign of a really strong trend

we just need to see if it can pull another big breakout

then that confirms the trend

people are so bullish ahead of fed rate cuts

they expect fed to do more cuts to avoid recession

[urban flint]

I'm only data driven. not opinion, news or feelings

Close below that level and I'm short

[spare bloom]

sure

market is all about fear and greed anyways.hence why you got things like vix and options are litrally priced based on the vix

you dont move on emotions but market does

numbers didnt even get out and we flushing xD

[agile jasper]

100 points move

hahaha

[spare bloom]

still seeing a clock

number didnt load yet

[agile jasper]

https://www.forexfactory.com/

[spare bloom]

ok mine just loaded

guess it lagged or something

nice number 69

[spare bloom]

i am still waiting

[nocturne sigil]

What does this wick look like?

[spare bloom]

yeah this wick says fk you to longs and shorts

[nocturne sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/darth-maul-star-wars-ready-duel-gif-4989691

[nocturne sigil]

LOLLLLLLLLLLL

[urban flint]

Resistance turned into support. Up we go

[nocturne sigil]

Who was doing that news bracket trade?

[spare bloom]

gotta be patient

[urban flint]

Nice dojo 🙂

[spare bloom]

i dont like trading a shitty wick like tis

needs to break it

i think the market gave us this wick cuz number was 69

perfect representation

[urban flint]

I'm long 🙂

[spare bloom]

we didnt break wick yet tho

[urban flint]

Got enough volume in those candles to support Canada

🙂

[spare bloom]

ok

[urban flint]

That 4h was important. hence the battle

[spare bloom]

supporting canada but this murica

maybe it is not enough

[urban flint]

hehe

[spare bloom]

if we got a healthy candle i would stayed witht he long

this wick is not clear for me

[urban flint]

Here's the retest, of support/resistance

Seems like it held

[sturdy wharf]

it is struggling to break that wick but when if does lol

[spare bloom]

well idk man

[sturdy wharf]

I want it to go south

It feels overbought

[spare bloom]

I dont like buying at the top and it is also giving me mixed signals

need to clarity

if it cant break this wick no go for me

[sturdy wharf]

the wicks on the 2H lol

I dont think we are getting a big move today

[spare bloom]

i was thinking profit taking and comeback next week

[real raft]

Is there anyone trading live today?

[sturdy wharf]

I traded live but im down on the day

[spare bloom]

but if markets wants to do another leg up will see

[hybrid kettle]

come on spy push

[urban flint]

Break this and let the mental begin

That would be a quick day

[agile jasper]

finally done

choppy london but recovered during ny

[spare bloom]

you went long ?

[agile jasper]

london i was longing but i got chopped in the middle

[vapid lily]

hi

[agile jasper]

then longed a few during NY

[agile jasper]

hello there

[vapid lily]

Has anyone used it buyside & sellside?

[spare bloom]

we cant seem to break the upper wick

[agile jasper]

use what?

[vapid lily]

Indicator

[nocturne sigil]

Sending APPL alert in all the channels?

[agile jasper]

some people might have used it, or are actively using it. I know there is a lot of people using the luxalgo premium toolkits

[vapid lily]

This indicator time is suitable for 5m or 15m?

[agile jasper]

the premium indicators are suitable for any timeframes. have a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOamxUcNYEg&list=PLbqCXsOfrM3P5mb5jY7Ye8pguhmozOKBC&ab_channel=LuxAlgo

[agile jasper]

love that you have rules there

[copper tiger]

Wooooow

PA is ass

[urban flint]

Always!

Glad I closed with 700 profit phew

Wiating for the test here and relong if hold

100% buying this dip when turn 🙂

Letting WS do the work

[urban flint]

Tight rules are key

[agile jasper]

[urban flint]

Back at it

A bit premature, but love to long at 1h support

After the news

[agile jasper]

what a rally

[urban flint]

Check

send it

It's not going to be easy to break a triangle from July but maybe a test>

Close

Caution here.

Stalled a bit

[urban flint]

Squeeze up time?

[muted marlin]

At this point i dont think im touching anything until we make structure outside the initial balance

[spare bloom]

Good thing i took day off and went to the beach instead

pa is like dogshit

[agile jasper]

i agree

[muted marlin]

Volume went home early this friday

[sturdy wharf]

it really did

[muted marlin]

Friday, lunch, and rollover; we’re entering the “triangle of not shit happening and if it does it’s probably shit”

[agile jasper]

rollover this friday?

still not enough volume on the dec contract

[agile jasper]

new highs both NQ ES

[spare bloom]

New high like 1 point?

better go enjoy your weekend than look at this

[agile jasper]

hey new high is new high

[zinc ferry]

Bears taking it the bulls yet again.

[agile jasper]

right down to the vwap

i was considering a short from 530 to the vwap but it pushed higher

[muted marlin]

You know it’s slow when even the 100 tick chart is easy to follow

Short 5633.50 looking for 5624ish

[agile jasper]

very slow lets see if we pick up during power hour

[muted marlin]

Yea once im out of this trade i’ll be sitting on my hands until then

[nocturne sigil]

Nasty 5m NQ

[zinc ferry]

Bulls are pushing and pushing with no one home to defend

BEars not bulls

[agile jasper]

still in the 20 points range on NQ

[zinc ferry]

That was a feable attempt at bids

I guess the Bulls are too weak to take over

[muted marlin]

Well i just got ticked out; was down 300 now only 25. Not mad about it considering the movements today

[agile jasper]

and back to thge bottom of the range

[muted marlin]

Took that liquidity i was targeting and piss missled back up

[agile jasper]

classic vwap bounce

[muted marlin]

With some authority too

Looking a little head and shoulders like rn

[agile jasper]

yep

[spare bloom]

it will just chop forever

dont expect much

prolly another trip down

Late friday session push higher?

You dare?

[spare bloom]

I dont need to dare.I sip tea and watch a series or something

let the market make the playing field

[muted marlin]

Had to try it after the last one 😂 @agile jasper

[agile jasper]

[nocturne sigil]

What series your watching?

[muted marlin]

Went from down 300 to up 650 im pretty happy lol. Just glad i was ready for it this time

Yes yesterday…. - 2 k

It s been a long since last time ….. 😅

[surreal urchin]

What instrument you trade ..

[sterile gyro]

What Indicators have you all found that work best for trading ES & NQ?

[copper tiger]

We green this week boys?

[copper tiger]

What’s that?

Someone explain

@nocturne sigil ??

[nocturne sigil]

He went bye bye

[copper tiger]

Ohhhhhhh
I thought that was legit lmao

Was that like crypto or something

[supple lava]

No swing signals for me last few days… gave me time to catch up on work at least lol

[nocturne sigil]

Not sure, I made the crypto deposit, I’ll let you know

Bwahahahaha

Joking

[copper tiger]

That’s inane lol

[mental sky]

I had a good week longing NQ and an Australian index (ASX200).

Next week should be interesting with FOMC.

Hope everyone had a green week and has a nice weekend 🍻

[nocturne sigil]

NICE

[grand galleon]

NQ and MNQ

[rare eagle]

What Broker do you use for ASX 200 and what do you look at Trading on it. Thanks

[mental sky]

I use CMC as a broker. But I assume it would be tradable on most large international platforms. Here’s some tickers on TV.

This chart looks weird as it has a few ideas on it.

I think it generally behaves quite well. Eg red trendline was a super easy support to long for quite a while.

Has a potential inverse head and shoulders pattern forming now.

Monthly chart gives some top ideas

Might just be the way I trade, but I’ve never found a chart that I can predict as well as ASX200. Eg this flag/pennant could be drawn early.

[rare eagle]

Thanks i have CMC but just to hold my shares but will look into them a bit more Thanks

[mental sky]

No problem. My CMC account is for CFD trading (leverage). CMC have a couple of different apps.

[zenith narwhal]

@agile jasper do u trade micro or normal (for your evals)?

Cus topstep still caps it at 2 either way for some reason

[agile jasper]

normal. i want to get it done as soon as

i would trade micros when the volatility is crazy. traded minis only for the past 2 weeks

done micros on CPI but i got chopped

[agile jasper]

topstepx has the full conversion

[zenith narwhal]

Ye still have to explore topstepX. Im still on NT.

But ty cap

[copper tiger]

TopstepX is great

[spare bloom]

Interesting it was red on thursday and not wed.wed is when we had that crazy 800 point move

[radiant gyro]

I only recently discovered Platinum and am about to start paper trading it. I love how it trends so beautifully when it gets moving!

What are the best settings and strategies for it? I'm interested in everything you can tell me about it, please! 🤞

[radiant gyro]

Any backtests using Luxalgo to share?

[nocturne sigil]

For me, I have my template that I use on all symbols.
If a symbol doesnt look good on this template, I dont trade it.
I dont back fit my template to a symbol...

Will this be a perfect pull-back set-up for the bearish leg?
Or we going higher in full bull mode?

@agile jasper they really don't want me on TopstepX

[agile jasper]

intruder alert

[nocturne sigil]

They are busy figuring out where everyone's "stops" are.

4H NQ
Lets see how the week shapes this

What do you think?
Guess?

🤷🏻‍♂️

[spare bloom]

consolidation until powell

can do moves both up and down but nothing that will break structure overall

gold is still holding strong at the highs

[nocturne sigil]

Break above 26?

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah, probably

[agile jasper]

agree

maybe push to 19600 and stay there

everyone is waiting for the final boss

[nocturne sigil]

I have not lost hope on 17

😬

[spare bloom]

17k we need big fear and fud

[agile jasper]

it can go to 10k if it wants.

if it gives my 10 points on his way down i'm happy

[nocturne sigil]

Fear?
Ahhhh, easy.....JP is saying "hold my beer...."

[agile jasper]

i don't care about the rest 😂

[wary pecan]

how can I access Live streams?

[agile jasper]

past recordings can be found here #1199356285813006367

[wary pecan]

thanks

[nocturne sigil]

I start the lives about 1030-1100am NY

[agile jasper]

NQ straight down

[nocturne sigil]

17?

[spare bloom]

got the buy

niiiice

35 points

lets see if they continue selling now

[agile jasper]

got a short and a long

and i'm done

[spare bloom]

yeah

if we break the lows on nq it could see a 400 point dump

gotta becareful with longs

seems it wants to go up now

good recovery i guess

[supple lava]

I think we retest 19600 on nq before deciding on a direction

That block is strong and near

[spare bloom]

yeah

i dont wanna take more trades inside here cuz it is pretty risky in each direction

[agile jasper]

vwap at 448 here

[spare bloom]

we should retest 19600 i guess soon

the 1hr candle looks like a big bottom wick

9 min for the candle to close

man should have held my buys from the lows

[ionic bobcat]

Hey guys! What indicators do you recommend for operating NQ in testing at the prop firm?

[agile jasper]

I am using luxalgo's premium toolkits for prop firm trades

[spare bloom]

mm i dont like that small upper wick but overall can still go up

[nocturne sigil]

Rug pull or just a small pull back for the ultimate 17 level?

[spare bloom]

idk we are far from the lows atm

if we break the lows it will dump hard thats for sure

but unlikely after that big bounce

[agile jasper]

that was a nasty wick down

[spare bloom]

it bounced from the ifvg

almost instantly too

alot of people bought on that pullback it seems

been using ifvg more often than fvg from pac nowadays

it is not perfect but you can get a good RR out of it

[agile jasper]

roll week + powell

good combo

[spare bloom]

yeah

market will mostly likely just range

i am not expecting much

[urban flint]

No trades taken yet. Pretty slow and low volume

[spare bloom]

yeah only two trades so far

could have two more a short and a long but i was not sure about it

so i missed two trades

[urban flint]

No trade is better than a bad trade 🙂

[agile jasper]

i totally agree

[nocturne sigil]

Gotta be in it, to WIN it

[zenith narwhal]

99% of gambles stop right before their big win.

[urban flint]

🙂

Don't love this trade, but data supported it

I want to be long at one point 🙂

[agile jasper]

good hold

[urban flint]

Good start 2k

[agile jasper]

worth holding for the chop to end

[urban flint]

Back to waiting.

[sturdy wharf]

pullback incoming?

[agile jasper]

new poll live pls pls pls share your thoughts for anyone using the invalidation behavior! #✍polls message

[urban flint]

I mean macro it makes sense to turn here, but I'm still in favor of all longs if we find some volume

[sturdy wharf]

I got a piece of that pullback after that recent 10 point drop

maybe should have held longer

[agile jasper]

shouldve couldve wouldve

[urban flint]

🙂

[agile jasper]

still in the short on the paper

[urban flint]

The volume on NQ is extremly low

[agile jasper]

switching contract tomorrow

autoswitch on topstepx

[spare bloom]

Isnt it on 19th?

my broker is showing 19th

Powell +comteact switch

[agile jasper]

tsx switches tonight after market close. there's no rule on when to switch tbh

[spare bloom]

Ok good

So i just take it easy this week

market wont have alot of volume

[agile jasper]

vwap at 404

[ionic bobcat]

Which?

[agile jasper]

personally? I use the S&O from the premium package

[sturdy wharf]

PA was phenominal today

[spare bloom]

It was as expected just range

I did another buy from the lows and got 40 points

Could have hodled and got 100 but oh well

[agile jasper]

61% now. it was about 30% last week

vwap rejection play was nice if anyone took it

[spare bloom]

Yeah i took a short from 404

but quick scalp only

Closed at 377

[spare bloom]

Good thing I called ot early today

this range is boring

[nocturne sigil]

Tough, reject from the 4H OB above

Overlapped OB's as well

[urban flint]

Good stream micky. Such good examples and making trading stress free and simple for some of the newer traders too. Very important knowledge regardless of what indicators or trader you are. @nocturne sigil

Anyone looking at HG?

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah, lets keep it simple to start....

[wanton niche]

best setup

[urban flint]

NQ is waking up just a tiny bit

[nocturne sigil]

Who want to do some 5s scalps?

[agile jasper]

why don't you go 1s scalps?

[nocturne sigil]

Whats up?

[nocturne sigil]

OK

[urban flint]

😂

[agile jasper]

go NQ not MNQ lol

man up

https://tenor.com/view/excited-angry-man-big-boy-will-ferrell-gif-12564814

[nocturne sigil]

When i see you on a cash account instead of prop account, then we go

[agile jasper]

i don't think my emotions will be suitable for a cash account

[nocturne sigil]

Then I guess you cant man-up as well?

[agile jasper]

i can't

[spare bloom]

I just did one got 10 points

[agile jasper]

although i can use topstep payouts to funnel into a cash account

[spare bloom]

I only use cash

[agile jasper]

did cash acount on forex when i started trading, before i learned about the prop firms

don't think it went well

[spare bloom]

Uk forex got low leverages right

so you need a big account to make anything out of it

[agile jasper]

it was alright when i started trading

i remember starting on etoro back in the day and i was able to set my own leverage

[spare bloom]

thats good

here all brokers are pretty much 500x and you cant change leverage

us100(nq) is 200x

my co-worker plays with a 300 usd acc and makes it 3k in few days if he is lucky

or he blows it up haha

he keeps saying it doesnt matter thats his RR

nq is trying to breakout of this range

[agile jasper]

needs more fuel

[nocturne sigil]

Need more cow bell?

[agile jasper]

what is that lol

[nocturne sigil]

you dont know? LOLLLL

[agile jasper]

aka the bell or it has another meaning? LOL

[nocturne sigil]

I guess it's more of USA folks, its on Saturday Night Live show...

[agile jasper]

.

[urban flint]

All we need is more cowbell

[nocturne sigil]

YES, we do...

[urban flint]

An price action please. Been a 1 trade day

[nocturne sigil]

Boring safe day?

🦗

[spare bloom]

i scalped a short

boring day indeed

i am being very safe just hard 10 points at this time lol

cuz volume is abyssmal

[urban flint]

The only fun today was your stream

Yea, can't play short, can't play long at the moment.

[zinc ferry]

Why is it the Bears can take it to the Bulls everyday of the week.....Are the Bull traders that weak?

[urban flint]

asset and timeframe please?

[zinc ferry]

ES now

[urban flint]

Looks to me that ES is consolidating it had a big run since sep 11 low, resistance is pretty much where you are at this point on a HH. I think it needs a pullback for new buyers.

[urban flint]

there is a 3 week POC sitting at 5637.. that would be a massive problem for the bulls.

[zinc ferry]

Makes sense

[nocturne sigil]

Pick a side, any side, just pick

[urban flint]

Check again after daily close. If it closes below that, It is likely to head down a bit to find more buyers. You're guess is as good as mine for where the buyers are 🙂

I think the rate cuts are priced in and there's fear of FED being to late again, causing a recession

[zinc ferry]

crazy part is i dont see any large gamma sitting at that level

[urban flint]

True, but we also came out of a really good run

[zinc ferry]

I i hear you

[nocturne sigil]

Teach me to read this chart

[urban flint]

So in other words more money at the bottom than the top 🙂

[zinc ferry]

Bookmap. It plots liquidity

USusally if there is no large liquidity area price can move freely according to Bookmap. But the buyers have to step in. There is just a void of activity

[urban flint]

Good point, Small area but still yes, noone wants to buy and sell here. Looking at the charts that makes perfect sense.

[spare bloom]

yeah as discussed earlier today people wanted atleast 19600 to sell or a good retracement 19k-19200 to buy

we are stuck in this range so it is just chop

[nocturne sigil]

Interesting
Been good to you overall?

[urban flint]

Agreed!

They are however buying NQ into close

Alrighty I'm out.

See you tomorrow

[agile jasper]

idk that wick at the open is juicy

[urban flint]

Yes, very 🙂

[mental sky]

Big gap up on futures

[agile jasper]

contract rollover

[nocturne sigil]

NQ couldn't break above the 4H OB
What will Wednesday bring?

🤔

What about Gold GC?
Any upside targets?
Maybe round numbers?

[urban flint]

Love copper futures, just took a long

[nocturne sigil]

What TF?

[urban flint]

Check daily. It’s so primed

4h too

Daily

Weekly outlook

[nocturne sigil]

looks good

[urban flint]

It checks my boxes and I’m putting a SL overnight. I’m okey with a loss here, or a longer run to the upside. I’ve seen this setup too many times on forex and crypto, to say this fits my criteria.

[delicate yew]

are you referring liquidity to limit orders ?

lol, trade going well om MNQ so far.

[spare bloom]

Is nq finally breaking out

[tribal trellis]

the heatmap shows where ppl punting orders ( limits or stops) for market it's liquidity
it's like market magnet, more for scalping tool

[delicate yew]

its looking bullish today

[delicate yew]

yes, i get that. i trade more on market orders, less on limit orders/stops

[tribal trellis]

u trade with the trend, where the volume is using footprint and DOM maybe
u can combine then with the heatmap as well for TP to see where the market is going to after a good market orders

[delicate yew]

i dont use DOM and Heatmap. instead look for real time market orders to see the imbalance and absorbtions. it works for me quite well.

DOM , and heatmaps creates a lot of noise for me on the chart. always infludences me to get out of the trade early without any valid reason.

[tribal trellis]

100% true, if u know how to read the market no need for those tools.

[mental sky]

Looks complex. How’s it working out for you so far?

Are you entering if there’s confluence between your different indicators?

I’m still long NQ from 18.4. Trending nicely.

[deep scroll]

i short that shit of ferrari but it dosnt move from 15 gg

wich indicator?
