you are allowed to do automation if you have one in place

[neon ether]

yeah maybe i understood wrong

[agile jasper]

they don't provide support for it

but if you develop your own, you can run it on topstep accounts

[neon ether]

ok no problem i do my on support haha

nice this motivate more and more

[hasty pilot]

Yes sir. No issues with those guys.
They are solid. Strict. Clear. And conservative. Which I am loving that.
Btw fam , I’ve “blown” 11 TS accounts.

[neon ether]

am so hapy to be more active in this community like i have learned so much within the last 6 weeks comapring to 1 year

[agile jasper]

11 accounts only?

amateur

[hasty pilot]

3 with FTMO
1 TFT
11 TS
3 FTT
1 MFFX

3 funded.
2 XFAs.
1 made it to Payout this week 😁
At it since May 2023.

[neon ether]

damnn i have along way for me

[agile jasper]

congrats for making it all the way to payout

[neon ether]

or i crack it from the first challenge haha

[agile jasper]

don't chase the payouts though

[hasty pilot]

~ 20 failed attempts.
1 Paid.

2 years of effort.

[agile jasper]

the money is a biproduct of your work

[neon ether]

2 years but was worthful and you learned a lot

[hasty pilot]

Oh I’ve been making sure my ego and feelings are correct because it can happen to us all.

[agile jasper]

if you take it slow you will get more and more payouts

[hasty pilot]

Dude you think THE way I do.

[hasty pilot]

Yes sir I also thank LuxAlgo a lot.
They’ve added so much confidence in me while I trade.

[nocturne sigil]

[neon ether]

sometimes i think am too slow and do alot invest in learning and study

but this is me dont want do an exam without practise

[hasty pilot]

Bro I paper traded on think or swim for 17 months lol. I only put my money just recently been “studying” since 2021.

[neon ether]

yeah am happy too with luxalgo but never was active like now and watching the streams and reading her in teh discord as much last 6-8 weeks

[agile jasper]

for me the only way to test is to test with my own money. if i fail the challenge account, it will cost me -> the motivation is not to fail so i don't suffer expenses

paper trading never worked for me. no emotions

[hasty pilot]

This is true. I used demo time to test conditions. But NEVER can it amount to when the money is on the line. 100% agree.

[agile jasper]

but everyone is different, you do your way and it will work

[neon ether]

yes true without emotion is easy

[agile jasper]

for example i got to a point where i can go through combines super fast

[hasty pilot]

My main strategy in 2 images.
LuxAlgo helps providing the signals. Which indicate the strength of current trend. And I take my aim. Shoot. Done.

[agile jasper]

i play aggressive with them but when it comes to XFA where i can take money out, i play conservative

[hasty pilot]

Dude. Stop. You’re talking like me.
Aggressive on the evals.
Calm on the funded phase.
1000%

Love it

[neon ether]

☺️

[hasty pilot]

I mean look how simple Lux makes it.
Just grab a few ticks and money. No need to trade the entire trend.

[nocturne sigil]

so you take the break on the opening 5m body?
do you wait for the retest when price comes back to the ORB body? or take the trade after th 5m ORB body confirms?

wait for lux signal at or around the ORB body level?

[hasty pilot]

Yes. I take entry as SOON as that 935 candle opens correctly. Set my stop 120. Then get out as soon as I’m happy with the gain thereafter.
Same for either direction.

[nocturne sigil]

Im gonna try this on a 5s ORB

LOLLLLLLLL

[agile jasper]

LMAO

[neon ether]

hahaha

[nocturne sigil]

theres no way, thats too fast, LOLLLLL

[agile jasper]

pics or didn't happen

[hasty pilot]

Lux gives me the sig.
I take entry once the candle opens where it should. And bro your lux and ORB work together like a married couple. Meaning my entry is parallel to the signals

[nocturne sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/letsgo-lets-go-lfg-lfgd-gif-26632406

[hasty pilot]

You’ll definitely get it with your experience

[agile jasper]

I can confirm it can be done

[nocturne sigil]

Been trading real cash account for past 20-25 years.....slow and steady
I need to wrap my head around these prop firms, and this past year with the FX firms getting slammed, it did put a damper in trusting these firms now

[hasty pilot]

Ohhhhhh you haven’t played with props yet?? Now it makes sense lol.

Trade brigade Matt asked me the same.
He’s also 25+ years in with cash tho.
That’s funny 😄

TopStep #1.
ORB #1
LuxAlgo #1

Done ✅

[nocturne sigil]

nope, i have always said these prop firms were just a pyramid scheme fad that will go away, and looky look, this past year proved me right. but now that the dust has settled, i am hearing positive things on the firms that are left standing

and Im in the USA, so its tougher to pick one or have one that will pay out USA traders

not sure

[hasty pilot]

Well you’re mature. So it makes sense.
But TopStep has been around and healthy since 2012.
We’re good with them as the reliable option

Eventually though if we can save up for personal Live account is better.

[hasty pilot]

Me too bro. I’m from Washington DC lol
I stay away from Fx and CFDs.

[nocturne sigil]

yes, the ultimate goal is to take whatever you can get from these firms and build your cash account

[hasty pilot]

Try it tho. Demo first maybe.
The 5m ORB.
Wait for the Open.
Ignore the wicks, Not a valid entry.
Only the opens.
Stop always 120.
If your stop was hit. You were too early or too late.
The best entry is when body opens as close to the “Range” as possible.

Bodies opening far away = weak and bound for a pullback to the range.

As long example.

Goodnight friends
Enjoy your weekend.
Until Monday gentlemen 🫡

Do kangaroos really fight people?

[proven carbon]

Anyone know how to add alerts for when the arrows fire on this indicator? I can’t seem to make the current options work

https://www.tradingview.com/script/ct5E4FSn-Three-Bar-Reversal-Pattern-LuxAlgo/

[agile jasper]

some free indicators might not have an alert function, they're open source however so you can grab the code and modify it yourself to suit your needs.

[proven carbon]

Yeah I just have no idea how to do that. I’ll see what I can see though

[agile jasper]

chatgpt it and it'll do it for you

[mental sky]

Hah I’ve never seen it in person but apparently it can happen.

Used to see some big male Roos when out running. Would take a wide path around them 😅

[nocturne sigil]

Thats cool....we got bobcats, burros, wild horses, but no roos

[proven carbon]

Well I am too stupid to figure this out right now haha. I’ll have to come back to it

[stark anchor]

need to wait when it retest 67-66 lvl and bounce later need adjust sl and tp

[stark anchor]

look at this shit Micky my fked up EU Oanda... soon i swap to IcMarkets

fkin gap

and cant compare the Oanda US and any other broker now...

[fathom breach]

eu and us have seperate quotes?

[nocturne sigil]

Not sure what you are referring to< could you clarify a bit?
EU is the European Union, and US is the USA
Depending on the content here, yes, different locations have different quotes? not sure though, depends what you are referring to. But most futures symbols are traded on a centralized exchange in the USA

[fathom breach]

i was just wondering why it says EU clients at the top, so eu and us clients will have slightly different prices??

[nocturne sigil]

at top of where?

[fathom breach]

on the screenshot that guy posted

[nocturne sigil]

Oh you are referring to someones post, that is the broker data feed he is using

@fathom breach Thats a good eye you caught that.
Im just used to Oanda being for forex pairs.

[fathom breach]

i was just confused cause i havent seen that before

[nocturne sigil]

You and me same boat, LOL
But yes, Oanda does provide futures for other traders in different countries

[stark anchor]

i dont know after previous before friday was such a gap and in US Oanda nothing like this...

[stark anchor]

yes it seems so diffrent charts and candles

that is why i wanna go to Icmarkets broker

i was confused to see this also when gas price drop down and here baaang. I am curious how many sellers was wiped by that haha

at my oanda i dont have volumes data i called broker but they have deep in ass all

[nocturne sigil]

Always verify from the broker, where the data comes direct from. You want a broker that has direct connection with the CME exchange.

[stark anchor]

My broker is Oanda but i dont think they share data from CME

but this oanda i guess only share license from Polish other broker that have EU regulations and so

i will withdraw money and ask my bro to open account at icmarkets for me and there i put my money

this i will close

since i will drive for some months to Kyrgystan to marry my woman, I need someone to open for me account

[nocturne sigil]

ahhhhh, ok yeah, I would leave as well, just need direct feed from CME

[stark anchor]

i am tired of this OANDA EU shit

[nocturne sigil]

Todays news:

[mental sky]

How would you trade this?

Im long from the bottom (overlap 1min (blue) and 15min (grey) OBs).

SL is just below entry. Where would you place the TP?

There’s 2x 1min OBs higher up in the same 15min OB. Otherwise, 2x 1min OBs in the 15min OB above.

I’ve set 20350 for the higher OBs but curious to know whether you would go for the lower OBs?

Stopped out. But it’s still appreciate interpretation if you have any.

[grand galleon]

I put always sl under the swing (ob) that created CHOCH or bos…… now in this case the set up was right. But wasn’t (for what I see) a A+ set up…. And with that I mean if you trace a ideal trendline from top to bottom u see that CHOCH happens at trendline without a clear break. Otherwise set up was right (for what I see). And btw losing trades happens.

[mental sky]

Thanks. Yeah don’t have a problem with losses. This strategy is good for keeping stops very tight but having it room for good profits for the trades that do work.

The question was more where would the TP be when there are two 1min OBs above within the same 15min OB as the entry, and another two in the 15min OB above.

The questions assumes that you use the same strategy for exit points.

[grand galleon]

For tp I use standard deviation and I look higher time frame (15 min)….. so if for example on 15 min you have a unmitigated fvg against your trade I may think to exit at level 1 to keep safe. Otherwise I always exit at level 1,5/2,5 of sd in correspondence with fvg or ob against my trade on 1 min.

[mental sky]

Thanks! 🙏

[mental sky]

So this would be a better setup.

Bounce from double OB, broke trendline to print CHOCH+.

SL at the 1min OB. Look to higher time frame for exit ideas.

[grand galleon]

Looks like better set up

[mental sky]

Thanks again. I really do appreciate it. Most people in these groups are just here to share PNLs. Super helpful to have people like you who are also happy to educate.

[neon ether]

thank you for asking and thanks @grand galleon for answering am learning from all conversation here.

[oblique mural]

Are you buying?

[neon ether]

who is trading in london session? i reconized the spread is about 0.75-1.00 in NQ and i guess in NY session is mostly 0.25 sometimes 0.5? Anyone have experience with that?

am using CME MNQ / NQ with TopStep

the cool thinks that are tradingview chart CME exactly the same in TopStep, no need to use other sources for charting

am just happy with futures haha, like i said all is new for me but feel better than forex until now 🙂

[agile jasper]

you are correct with the spread

[neon ether]

one other question if am seeing it right:
when i open a trade spread/slippage will be calculated additionally like in forex but when i close a trade "Again spread/slippage will be additionally calculated"?

or maybe in forex is the same but i never recogonized that!!!

[agile jasper]

it's the same like in forex

[neon ether]

ok thank you

Anyone in here using these indicators to trade oil in the Asian session who would be willing to share some advice.

[reef sluice]

can you have that many accounts with topstep?

i thought there was a limit on number of funded accounts

[agile jasper]

they're stacked up so they can be next when the funded are blown

I see my mistake. Spammers will flock 🤦‍♂️

[agile jasper]

you asked for it. share it with the class instead

[mental sky]

Yeah better idea.

Alright, I’ve been using the multi timeframe OB strategy (1min and 15min) on Brent Crude with good success.

I’ll elaborate. Also, big thanks to @nocturne sigil for sharing the strategy and @grand galleon for bringing it to my attention.

https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1133544764868919406

[nocturne sigil]

Hell YEAH

[mental sky]

Use ⬆️ to add 2x sets of PAC.

First set used to mark 15min OBs in one colour. Only have the OB active in this PAC set, no other data.

The second used to add 1min OBs in a different colour. On this PAC set, enable other options eg FVGs and market structure.

The basic principle is to look for regions where the 1min and 15min OBs overlap as potential reversal points.

In Micky’s iteration, he waits for a bounce from the double OB and then looks to enter when price pulls back, eg to an FVG made during the bounce.

Fero, if I understand correctly uses it slightly differently. Also looks for a bounce from the double OB. But also looks for other evidence of a reversal. Ideally, a break of a trendline in the direction of the trade; if opening a long, that would be a down sloping resistance line. The line could be drawn manually or be automatic via an indicator. In addition, it’s ideal if that break occurs with a change in structure: e.g. CHOCH, BOS.

In either case, SL should be at the bottom, or slightly below the double (overlapping) OB from which the reversal occurred.

Now for TP points. I think this could be individualised. In particular, it could be adjusted if you’re scalping or swing trading.

One option is to look for the next double OB in the direction of the trade and set the TP there. So if you’re long, look for the next point above where a 1min and 15min OB overlap. Often however, this isn’t far above. So it’s more of a scalping strategy.

Fero uses an ICT standard deviation approach. It’s easiest to Google / YouTube this. In general, this would let the profits run longer than the above TP approach.

Other options could be to zoom out, eg 5/15min, 1/4hr to come up with ideas. Or use something like the smart trail or reversal zones from S&O. Or any other strategy that looks for reversals against your trade; e.g a turtle trading indicator set to a 5/10/15min interval.

I missed this; was asleep. But here’s an example for Brent.

Up the top in the first two images you can price seeming to bounce from an overlapping OB (blue 1min, grey 15mins).

Price then falls below the white trendline and creates a CHOCH+. At this point you could go short and put your SL at the upper limit of the reversal OB = around 74.81.

TP is then up to you. Eyeballing it, if look for a reaction around 73.1. But you can use any strategy to find targets or look for a move against you.

Here’s a FOREX one that I am in. There’s a similar setup on EURO/USD.

Bounced from double OB at the bottom of first pic. Crossed the white trendline and formed various CHOCHs and BOSs. Entered long. SL below the order block at the bottom where it bounced.

Zooming out and using the SD strategy gives some ideas for TP points.

More conservatively VRVP suggests resistance at around 1.304 (POC) + there’s also a double OB in that region.

One more for gold

Need to be cautious on the gold long as it could form a short setup here.

[mental sky]

If you’re really confident, that the price may reverse from a particular double OB, you could also long/short as it enters the OB. But you need to watch closely and get out of it goes below the OB.

I’m not sure what you’re asking , but I’ve attempted with 11 TopStep accts.
$50ks - $150k.
I got 2 of them to funded.
One failed.
2nd attempt I made +$3,400
And just received a portion my payout today.

[nocturne sigil]

[spare bloom]

perfect rejection from the fvg from news

[agile jasper]

below 64's we going downtown

[spare bloom]

market is still choppy tho

i am not expecting shit so far

same story as yday

[agile jasper]

looks like it for now

[gloomy quail]

Crude. 👀

[agile jasper]

pushing to the vwap there

[gloomy quail]

Yeah. We keep watching

[agile jasper]

got the vwap to to through at 424, and 3 mins OR high at 417.50 on NQ

high of the OR taken out

[spare bloom]

man nvda went all the way to 145 in pre market

it just dumped to 141 on open and now back to 143 👀

insanely bullish

[nocturne sigil]

Yup

[nocturne sigil]

News? What news? No one warned me? WTF

[agile jasper]

thats the vwap break

[spare bloom]

not yet

my vwap is still there

it rejected from it

[agile jasper]

on your US yeah, vwap didn't break

[novel tulip]

Damn. Bro.

I was about to pass a topstep challenge myself...

But turns out that country I'm in isnt supported

So I just wasted money on the challenges

Going for Apex when I save a good amount again

[spare bloom]

nvda looks very bullish still so i dont think i wanna short

if nvda breaks 141 i will short

[agile jasper]

no need to look for shorts

[spare bloom]

ok vwap about to break

[agile jasper]

no reason for that

[spare bloom]

it closed above it now

[novel tulip]

Gonna close it and going back to work

Tis a good break

And yes. It's the 1 minute chart

[agile jasper]

#🚀crypto-chat

[novel tulip]

Ah sorry.

Whoos

[agile jasper]

big rally

to be fair we dumped 200 points overnight

[spare bloom]

market is slowpoke still

[agile jasper]

no news today again

[spare bloom]

it will prolly dump again at this rate

market is still slow

will prolly short...

i like to live dangerously

[agile jasper]

[fathom breach]

nas100

[spare bloom]

[severe solar]

GAP DIVERGENCE BABY

80 point runner

LETS GO

[gloomy quail]

@agile jasper @nocturne sigil

[agile jasper]

took this on topstep i hope?

[nocturne sigil]

YOU got this

[severe solar]

Sadly I don't have the balls for 80 points so just took half lol but ill take it lol

[agile jasper]

welcome to topstep land btw

[severe solar]

I personally need to trade micros and have some to take off but trading 1 mini is too fun

[severe solar]

ive been using topstep since 2020 🙂

[trail geode]

oh yeah thats what i was asking i guess, how many times or how long usually does it take to get a funded trader account

[severe solar]

but just recently switched to topstepx

[spare bloom]

so your strat is to trade the gap when it comes back to it ?

[prime arch]

He has the giveaway

[severe solar]

@spare bloom No its just a particular divergence setup i like on the oscillator matrix when there is a significant gap between points - #1294016119673454633 message

[agile jasper]

topstepx I meant to say haha

[severe solar]

ty sir so much better

the lock out feature is my favorite haha

[spare bloom]

nice pump

[agile jasper]

100% agree. I have been abusing it 😂

[agile jasper]

no reason to short this pump yet

maybe yesterday's highs

[spare bloom]

i am not shorting this

i dont just short cuz it pumped

i see rejection now

but not a strong one

[queen holly]

Smart Trail on SPX 30m strikes again!

[spare bloom]

nvda is about to go back to 145

144.2 now

premarket highs

very bullish

mm some rejections

could be just a pullback

nvda dripped to sub 144 for a second

xD

ok it is below now

if nvda fades can short easily

nvm it is back above 144

tho i think we are very close to ath in NQ if we break out of the 500s i dont think 700s will stop it

[gloomy quail]

Could come back to 69

[spare bloom]

maybe thats why market been chopping

they dont want it to bullrun yet

elections also soon

Sorry fellas just saw the messages -
(At work)
Thank you all for the kind words fam💪🏻
It’s simply $900 but the work is far more rewarding

Just with TopStep , I tried for about 5 months. That’s when I started making enough profits to stay afloat.
$600+ per day.
Then picked a rhythm 🥁 and went with it but also I’d lie if I didn’t say at times I went in FULL SEND but that 5 months I also learned how to “come up” from losses. THAT was a pivotal moment tbh. 🫡🫡🫡❤️

Scalped all my trades.
1:1 risk.
4-8 trades per day.

How does Lux help me? Well the signals & Overlays are 90% helpful to me. I accept the 10% poor signals.
I’ve learned how to setup the settings here to match my trading style and they are complementary for sure.
My favorite settings on a 5m chart is 12 or 22 👍

[hasty pilot]

Thank you bro 😎 ❤️🫡

[hasty pilot]

Yeah bro do what you can. But be mindful going to Dubai for people like you is a GAME CHANGER. You’ll be able to trade with all firms worldwide.
You don’t need Europe or America.

Hmmm..

What about a virtual residence and ID?

Does topstep accept those?

[viral locust]

Ok

[grand galleon]

[agile jasper]

you got chopped?

[grand galleon]

[hasty pilot]

lol nice

[steep turtle]

What do you guys think about low timeframe vs high, I am still a somewhat new trader and I am having trouble sticking to a certain timeframe, smaller account so higher timeframe stop loss hurts more , should I stick to lower till I build my account up, just kind of stuck atm, any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated 🙏

[cerulean vine]

The is a jumbo mama whale on the hourly chart, ready to take you 69k orders deep

If you're playing the 1min time chart, you'll see the sell orders were taken out with 2 buy orderblocks below.

You tell me, which timeframe do you like

[cerulean vine]

You use the HTF for to find direction bias, then you trade on the LTF chart, I am not going to hold a wild 3-day futures position w/overnight margin

[nocturne sigil]

Sounds like you already know, to trade a lower timeframe for small SL’s

FYI, I do scalp with higher timeframes such as 4H and daily

[gloomy quail]

@nocturne sigil 👋🏻

[nocturne sigil]

Wuzzup

[gloomy quail]

What are you looking at?

[nocturne sigil]

Right now? Nothing. Not in front of my Mac

You?

[urban flint]

Not much to trade imo at this time.

[steep turtle]

So maybe trading the 5 min in the same direction as the daily and 4hr ?

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah, that’s a good rule

[steep turtle]

Then as my account gets larger I could play off the 4hr eventually? Or even daily? My account just can’t handle a sl on that large of a tf yet

[nocturne sigil]

If you want to make it as a successful trader....

• Do not blame the charts
• Do not blame the market makers
• Do not blame the economic news
• Do not blame others
• DO NOT act like the victim
• YOU got this !

[nocturne sigil]

Yup

Starting the day with 960$ 💰💰

[long crater]

Anyone know of a site that i can see what monthly contributions would have been compounded over last twenty years in spx ?

[nocturne sigil]

Not sure if this exists

Because it will be difficult. The formula would need to know what day and time you actually bought so it can go back in history and find out what the price was that second. So this would be nearly impossible to formulate. It’s possible, but this is specific to SPX and I don’t think anyone would take the time to create this algo site

Great job what did yu trade?

How does the market feel today? ES seems sluggish at best and hovering around overnight lowws since 5:45.

[spare bloom]

well nothing changed still in a range

[long crater]

Yeah fair point. I just googled the average annual return over twenty years and put it in compoundinterestcalculator . Com . Good enough ha. Cheers tho

[grand galleon]

Nq

[spare bloom]

there was a short setup in london i didnt take it tho

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah, it probably assumes by taking the close of the month or close of the year, or something in general....
But without looking at it, you are in the money, right?

[agile jasper]

CAD rates 15 mins after the open

[spare bloom]

market been very boring

been taking it easy since market is just chill

i think they are saving the volatillity for the earnings and election

[agile jasper]

[spare bloom]

Not a bad long

NQ treating everyone to dinners today?
5m

Gold 5m

[spare bloom]

Not bad nq long 20 points

[nocturne sigil]

5m Crude Oil

[spare bloom]

Still not sure if we wanna go down

[nocturne sigil]

Nifty 5m
Yes, Nifty
Deal with it

[spare bloom]

If we actually breakdown I will not long cuz we had 6 day consolidation in this range

can easily dump 500+ points

[urban flint]

Love this volatility

So many good trades

[agile jasper]

500 is too much isnt it

[spare bloom]

Not sure if joking

[urban flint]

Haha, no I love it. Check GC and Metals 🙂

[spare bloom]

Ah ok i thought you meant nq

gold is correcting lower

[urban flint]

I’m buying 20238

[spare bloom]

Nah it is a long now

if we go there 238 wont hold maybe

You missed your entry

[hasty pilot]

I’m getting smoked today

[spare bloom]

nq is just chopping

[hasty pilot]

We haven’t had a single 5m candle to open (instantly )BELOW the 930am candle. That would’ve indicated to me a pure short.

[spare bloom]

Yeah no clear short yet

i was waiting for a short setup just didnt see it

[hasty pilot]

Yeah

This momentum is wild for me

Drastic ups and dramatic downs

[spare bloom]

I did two longs then called it for today on nq

[hasty pilot]

15m chart is super short tho

🫠

[spare bloom]

it is just small scalps atm

[hasty pilot]

Just waiting or something I’m familiar with

[spare bloom]

keep your tps small

Aim big if we break the range on the daily

[hasty pilot]

LuxAlgo hasn’t provided anything I like rn either so just waiting

Fakeout like never seen before

my indicators are not aligned towards one direction today.

[spare bloom]

it is still longs until a breakdown is confirmed

[urban flint]

We all get stopped out sometimes, just keep the losses to a minimum.

As you can see here I got stopped once. Just retry.

[spare bloom]

I longed gold but it was a quick 1 minute scalp

[steep star]

vol blocks are so goated

[urban flint]

I’m hoping for a lower entry on GC but might not get it

Not trading NQ

[spare bloom]

gc can go lower

But this zone is not bad for longs

[hasty pilot]

I’m now Long NQ on my 3rd attempt bullish. Signal just came in !

[agile jasper]

100 points push

where are the bears?

[hasty pilot]

Horrible buy entry tho. For me

[spare bloom]

Well i already called out the long

it is just no confirmed short

Could form anytime tho market is choppy

My long was 365 to 385

[hasty pilot]

I’m out

Another loss

Sheesh what a start

[spare bloom]

Still no clear short

[hasty pilot]

Everything is being violated lol

[spare bloom]

We closed above the news range and we got a strong wick from the bottom

[hasty pilot]

When NQ disrespects LuxAlgo signals I’m taken steps back.

[spare bloom]

patience is needed

Market is slow

you could have traded something else

qaction did right thing trading metals

nq is ina range

[hasty pilot]

I am a Nasdaq trader lol that’s all I do

[spare bloom]

then you should have taken the day off cuz not everyday is a trading day

Nq is litrally dead for a week

0 volume

volatility next week for sure tho

earnings

we do have tsla tomorrow i think

[urban flint]

I’m in

[spare bloom]

for me i find it easier to trade when volatility is high or atleast medium

there is little doubt on the move

[urban flint]

Let’s see if this support holds

[spare bloom]

it is earnings season and elections..expect very high volatility

might see 1k points too

[hasty pilot]

I’m Long NQ another attempt , 440

440s is where support should be now

It all hangs on 440 line.

[nocturne sigil]

Just doesnt want to break above this swing high

[hasty pilot]

🔥 440 burnt
Buyers aren’t strong enough

[spare bloom]

You still long?

could have had some longs but market is still correcting for gold

[agile jasper]

wow

[spare bloom]

must be news

Everything flushed

gold,nq,etc

[hasty pilot]

Wow 🤩 NQ

Anyone here using Bookmap?

I’m out today with cuts no jabs.
Wish I could’ve read the market better.

[agile jasper]

not for me

[hasty pilot]

How come? I’m getting use to it myself. Have had it On for 2 months now

I don’t trust it 100%

[agile jasper]

i did not have enough time to look into it properly i suppose

[jaunty dragon]

I signed up for Top Step today

[agile jasper]

take it slow, you have plenty of time

[nocturne sigil]

Nice moves on the NQ on most timeframes, right?

[jaunty dragon]

Yah, I am figuring out my risk due to how small the max loss is. I am nervous that I can only do 1 contracts, so one loss could be devestating.

[nocturne sigil]

Will McD's fill the gaps?

[gloomy quail]

Did a quick 20 earlier

[nocturne sigil]

Yup, thats it, rinse and repeat

[gloomy quail]

Absolutely

[jaunty dragon]

Ah dumb me, I see the micros/minis.

[hasty pilot]

#WelcomeHome

[hasty pilot]

I like it it’s mainly for support and resistance levels on a screen. Doesn’t tell you when or how it will move prices there. Just colors levels with different hues to show “temperature “
I try to keep it simple.

[agile jasper]

always keep it simple

[spare bloom]

yes play it simple. you could brainstorm all day and in the end it is 50 50

as you do 50 50 you should be fone

Nq is trying to dump

But volume is just not there

[nocturne sigil]

micros can be your good friend

[agile jasper]

the very good friend

[topaz violet]

Nq was beautiful today , did low con size but not bad

[jaunty dragon]

Just took my first trade on TopStep! I am quite excited.

[nocturne sigil]

whoaaaaa
NICE

I assume winner

[jaunty dragon]

Shorting MES

Still in for now.

I calucated I can trade 4 contracts of MES, and still loose 14 times to hit the max loss on the combine.

Sometimes it feels like this

[urban flint]

20045 hold?

[reef sluice]

Is there anyone who has a live funded account and an express funded account on topstep? Is there a way to be signed into both at the same time? It only will let me be signed into either the live account or the sim accounts at one time

Wanting to know if there is a way to be signed into both at the same time so they are easier to trade together

[agile jasper]

try incognito for live, and normal browser for XFA's. or 1 browser for live, 1 browser for XFA

[sonic idol]

Hey once you are live can you still trade express funded or do they make you switch off the express funded

[reef sluice]

I'll give that a try

[reef sluice]

The express funded account that gets transferred to the live account you won't be able to trade anymore. You can still trade other express funded accounts though

[sonic idol]

Do they change the parameters? Or is it the same?

[reef sluice]

Still the same from what I can tell. Max drawdown still is when account limit hits $0. 5 days of profit for payout to start

[sonic idol]

Ah! thanks for info congrats getting that far too thats an accomplishment

[agile jasper]

depending on how you perform, you have a direct line to the risk managers. they can adjust the parameters

[reef sluice]

Thank you!

[sonic idol]

I blew eval today lol

[reef sluice]

Hopefully I don't get a call from the risk managers 😅

[sonic idol]

Lol well u must have it going good! But yeah seems annoying if they dont up your parameters. As you can trade up to 5 linked accts funded

Would be annoying to have multiple then they downsize you

To where u can only trade that 1 at a time

[reef sluice]

I have another express account that's probably close to getting transferred to live so I'll see how it goes once that one does

[nocturne sigil]

whats the difference between funded account and XFA account?

[sonic idol]

Nice!

[reef sluice]

when you get a funded account you have a different trading area in topstepx when you sign into it

orders show up on DOM as well im pretty sure

[nocturne sigil]

so XFA still demo account?

[reef sluice]

yes

It looks like once you have grown the XFA account by 50% of the starting account size is when they transfer it over to a live account. At least that's when this one got moved over. And that is without subtracting payouts.

[hasty pilot]

I hate it when I miss a solid entry

[urban flint]

Roller coaster day. Went up 900 then was up over 1800 then ended 200 up 😂

Always a day tomorrow. Let’s regroup 🙂

[severe solar]

Divergence baby 🙂

[nocturne sigil]

Oh yeah, the Jacob Gap play

[glossy tree]

looks nice

[nocturne sigil]

That's Right

[agile jasper]

wow

[hasty pilot]

You’re right! That setup is clean indication. I was out with my girl on an Alan’s couldn’t get that on mobile view. If only I could trade full time lol

[severe solar]

Yeah haha I feel that. Plenty of good setups I miss all the time doing other stuff

[hasty pilot]

Right! That’s why I’m learning to accept small losses rather than blow account bc index markets offer multiple chances to get back

Before it was either I close green or hit my max loss lol terrible

[severe solar]

Thats why I love our alert systems bc I normally am just working on content or am with my 3 month old & 2 year old. Then when I get an alert I just see if I like the setup or not

[nocturne sigil]

Anyone use AMP, or WeBull as futures broker? Im thinking of opening an account with them.
Leaning towards Webull. Heavy lean.
I currently use Tradestation and just comparing data fee waivers, commissions and margins/

🤔

[half hound]

gold is going up again?

i dont think it will last -_-

is there any news in germany?

[fair socket]

Todays news:

[fair socket]

lets see how we do

[fair socket]

playing out as predicted so far! will close before unemployment claims in 2 hours

[spare bloom]

webull is cool. I used it for stocks back in the day

good platform overall

[nocturne sigil]

Platform looks cool indeed, I will be using Webull to trade direct on TV charts.
I like Webull as it's a direct comperable platform versus TOS, all in one type of broker.

[spare bloom]

it is a solid platform with alot of utilities

even just checking news,earnings,volume,etc

they also give level 2 for free first few months

if you wanna check the DOM

[nocturne sigil]

Painful 30
Ill wait after news now.

[nocturne sigil]

Yes, thats the draw for me, basic CME data feed for free, and they dont offset that with high fees/commissions
So looks like overall, less expensive versus TradeStation, and the margins are great, lower that TradeStation

AMP is the lowest I can tell as far as margins, super low, but they nail you on the data fee's, I think, and some other CQG data feed

[neon ether]

1. Is the first divergence not valid where my red arrow is? because there is little touch of reversal and adn thereis a gap too? or am missing something regards the strategy?
2. Or only teh second arrow is valid div cuz candle were deep inside the reversal?

[nocturne sigil]

You just have to fugure out which Divergence has the best probability in playing out, taking into consideration of other elements on the chart for validation...Maybe key levels acted as resistance, etc

Look how Jacobs long trade played out, after his TP, price chopped around, thats around the same level as the previous bullish divergence that acted as resistance. Maybe a higher TF showed a stronger key level?

Key is, trade management.
Lets say you took the first set-up, close out when it goes against you, then take the next and let it run.
Now your a winner

[agile jasper]

we got numbers in 10 minutes

[gloomy quail]

Hello everyone 👋🏻

[nocturne sigil]

I'd be very interested in how this goes come next week on the earnings call.....

😬

[gloomy quail]

We can wait for that

[nocturne sigil]

30

We cooking?

(searching for cooking gifs)

👀

[nocturne sigil]

Felt some heat on this one

[spare bloom]

what heat bro.market is flat as hell

1 min atr is like 3 points

lol it is 1.3 now

flat as a mofo

[neon ether]

thank you, got your point

[spare bloom]

i think market is just waiting for something to happen

we have been stuck in this range for two weeks now

[agile jasper]

vwap at 364 before open

[nocturne sigil]

took long, reversed for 35 tick loss, added more micros on the short for the win

Revenge at its finest

I need to perfect revenge trading, a great strategy

😹

[spare bloom]

you are trading before open

risky risky

market is also flat

mega risky

[nocturne sigil]

it was about 25 ticks heat, LOLLL

[nocturne sigil]

Yuppers

So far so good, safe

CHicken dinners

[spare bloom]

we either moon or crash or go nowhere for another week

these are the options

[urban flint]

I guess I was not the only one eyeing that fib level..

So close

[spare bloom]

i swing bought gold from yday to today

[urban flint]

Good call 😉

I am scalping longs GC, PL, SI if I can find entries 😂

[agile jasper]

300s in play on NQ

[spare bloom]

cuz yday even if you believed on the gold correction it looked like a 4 h double bottom so a correction up was likely

[agile jasper]

60 points dump at the open

[nocturne sigil]

OK, lets the real games begin

[urban flint]

Yes, super bullish

2nd time is a charm I guess

[agile jasper]

huge opening range on NQ

[urban flint]

I want 20045 on nq

Lot to ask I know, but that would be great for a long

[spare bloom]

i think we see 19k

if we go down

[urban flint]

Yes, this could be wave 2 and explosive

[spare bloom]

2 week consolidation is scary

you really dont wanna fight it

[agile jasper]

17k

[spare bloom]

yeah 17k on election day

then they pump it

i have been there last election

i saw movements that normally takes years to see

[gloomy quail]

Yeah

[nocturne sigil]

17

👀

[gloomy quail]

NQ- Bearish CHOCH on 5 and 15

[spare bloom]

it is kinda funny tho you waiting for 17k and end up scalping just 30 ticks anyways

[nocturne sigil]

Hahaha

Yup

How many ticks I have so far today? Hahaha

I just want little pieces

That’s it

Tiny pieces

So I fly under the radar

[spare bloom]

tiny wins are fine as long the losses are not big

[nocturne sigil]

I’m hiding from those MM’s

Ha

[spare bloom]

what kills the account is not the win but the loss

[gloomy quail]

I had 15 earlier and reduced to 5

[nocturne sigil]

Everyone, ignore the noise, focus on your own charts….

You got this

[spare bloom]

there is nothing to see atm

market is still dead

i didnt take the short could have made something with it

[nocturne sigil]

Still good

[agile jasper]

we got news in 30s

[spare bloom]

not a single point moved

[nocturne sigil]

GOT another 30

Markets are fractals

[spare bloom]

you have 30 ticks sl ?

[agile jasper]

ES selling

[spare bloom]

honestly i dont wanna trade anything in this zone

can easily get faked

[urban flint]

Yea, nq is till bullish. I see some buying, so we might get nasty reversals for shorts

[gloomy quail]

Oh yeah

[urban flint]

Waiting it out until develop more sell

[spare bloom]

i think people will wait after 9 news

[nocturne sigil]

No hard SL, mental SL, when something on chart flips on me

trade management different on each trade, no trade is the same on how I close

[spare bloom]

how do you deal with spikes?

[nocturne sigil]

my finger on the mouse waiting to drop it

[nocturne sigil]

after the spike, it usually pulls back, I wait for the pull back and close for a smaller loss

then we wait for the next trade to get it back, done

[spare bloom]

thats something 99% cant do they will wait until get backin profit or BE

[nocturne sigil]

big news i dont trade, the red folders

[nocturne sigil]

that is danger, i have to take the loss, i learned my lesson try to hope and pray

[spare bloom]

i do that as well but only if i am wrong

if am not wrong fk the market they will go my way unless they invalidate it

i got clear conditions when i am wrong

so i wait for a pullback to close at a loss but also reverse the trade since ik 100% it will go that way

tho thats also not easy to do

[nocturne sigil]

Gotta get the emotions, revenge, trade management in-check
That is the Holy Grail

☝🏽

Just my opinion....

🤷🏽‍♂️

[spare bloom]

4 min until news

then see if there is something for me to trade

otherwise i take day off

[agile jasper]

don't think it'll move the markets that much

however PMI did nothing so new home sales might move

[spare bloom]

usually thats when it actually move the market

but it is scary

[agile jasper]

we got a gap fill to the downside if we go below 300s

[spare bloom]

can get really ugly if it breaks out

i dont wanna buy that gap

well it depends on the volume

if market is moving like now then yeah it will hold

[agile jasper]

ok home sales did more than PMI (the initial impulse)

[spare bloom]

came out positive for dxy

[agile jasper]

much better than expected

[spare bloom]

top of the range

[agile jasper]

383 is the bottom of the news candle

the unemployment

and we just blasted through it

[spare bloom]

i still dont like trading in the 300s

[agile jasper]

new RTH high

[spare bloom]

i could short from this breaker

but idk

[agile jasper]

what a dump

[spare bloom]

oh well

i missed it

was obvious

ok i am trying here

not bad

quick 20

lets see if we break further

[agile jasper]

still inside the opening range

[spare bloom]

yeah

need to break atleast 5 points lower

ok here we go
