would liek to see a small retrace here and then head back off to 21600 😄

[urban flint]

I want a bit higher

[agile jasper]

540-550 target

[surreal dust]

my top is 21600

so pretty similar

[urban flint]

yeah 606

I truly think we nuke today

[deft gorge]

pivot point on 557

[surreal dust]

nice

[agile jasper]

yeah we nuke today

first target 550s then yesterday's high

unless someone sells

[urban flint]

Just zoom out

[surreal dust]

That sounds good... hopefully US open will do it

[urban flint]

You are not in an area you want to long at least.

[deft gorge]

nice bull flag

[urban flint]

True but its unlikely to break

much more likely to retrace to POC

[agile jasper]

stuck here at the 30's and i think 530 was also a struggle yesterday or the day before

[urban flint]

I hope open tries up grabs liquidity then sends it back to range low

[surreal dust]

lol missed my fill on the other account by a few ticks

could have been in profit by now :/

still bullish for me

[spare bloom]

well you could have market ordered if you were that sure

few ticks shouldnt matter to you

[surreal dust]

I was in my other account

can only see one at a time on TV :/

[spare bloom]

no copy trading ?

[surreal dust]

I went market with topstep

I dont copy trade

I should I guess !

[spare bloom]

thats what the boys here do

[surreal dust]

what platform do you use to do it?

I have accounts with Topstep AND Apex though

[spare bloom]

i dont copy trade since i mainly trade from personal cash acc

[surreal dust]

oh I see

[spare bloom]

caca,fero,etc they copy trade topstep

[surreal dust]

do you use any props at all?

[spare bloom]

nope i dont do any props. i dont need them.

i pay myself

[surreal dust]

amazing 🙂 !

maybe one day ..... haha

will keep working at it

[surreal dust]

will take a look thank you

[agile jasper]

you can't copy trade from topstepx to anywhere else

different platforms

40's traded

[surreal dust]

ah ok ... good to know

but you can copy trade multiple topstepx accounts from there right?

[spare bloom]

yes

they copy x5 accounts

[surreal dust]

oki doki!

wish I could put luxalgo through topstepx

[agile jasper]

50's traded

[surreal dust]

touch the top please 🙏

[spare bloom]

you counting every 10 points caca

[surreal dust]

haah I love it

[spare bloom]

i might short near 600s

but will see

if the open is very agressive i wont do it

[agile jasper]

i said 540-550's then 600's check above!

[surreal dust]

as long as it hits 600s it can die as far as I am concerned

I hope it retraces then too... will also be looking for a short

[spare bloom]

ah didnt see

60's traded

[urban flint]

Just sitting waiting for the revesal. Might be 9:30 then

[spare bloom]

you didnt close your short ?

[urban flint]

1 stopped I have one open again

[spare bloom]

the breakout looks pretty solid

[agile jasper]

hahaha

[spare bloom]

it is just we didnt get a retest so i didnt take a long

i would have longed if it did

[urban flint]

yea the volume is surprising to me, but again, we should be going down

[spare bloom]

why?

[urban flint]

Eventually they will run out of volume up here

[spare bloom]

they ranged all day they might have enough juice to go higher

we were pretty much flat until news

[surreal dust]

I think the 21600 area is where we need to go before shorts really

[spare bloom]

i personally dont like fighting a strong breakout without a reason.it might pullback but it might do that after another big move

[agile jasper]

we seen pump after CPI and dump during NY so many times

[spare bloom]

so it could do another 100 points to 700 then pullback

[agile jasper]

vwap is all the way down to 471

[surreal dust]

gimme vwap 😄

[agile jasper]

yup, gimme vwap

[surreal dust]

We are at monday mid now anyway

[urban flint]

What was the news causing this move?

[spare bloom]

cpi

[urban flint]

Was it good?

[spare bloom]

thats not for us to decide

[urban flint]

all clear I guess on the eggs I guess

[spare bloom]

but all assets crypto,gold,nq,etc pumped

even currencies

so i would say it is bullish

[urban flint]

It was worse than expected and it pumped?

[spare bloom]

yeah they dont care

[urban flint]

🙂

[spare bloom]

as long it stays below 3%

[surreal dust]

wopen at 21650 that would be nice

[urban flint]

Lets see if they do care

[agile jasper]

it was in line

[spare bloom]

they could rugpull ofc on the open

will find out soon enough

[agile jasper]

yup

[urban flint]

I'm just going to grab a coffee and com back to green okey

lol

[agile jasper]

were you shorting?

[spare bloom]

he was

[agile jasper]

dam

[urban flint]

Yes, one stopped lost $500

one open down 1k

[agile jasper]

damn

[urban flint]

should have waited, but decided pre market the entry

[spare bloom]

you traded the biggest news of the month

one would normally wait for the open

[urban flint]

Sure was counting on it 🙂

[agile jasper]

it's okay you recovered from bigger holes

[urban flint]

No worries. you can't be exact every time. it's so hard to pick exact

still play intact, not realized until stopped out

[spare bloom]

ath is 800s right ?

nvm

it is 700s

so yeah pretty risky to short this

i dont wanna get fked and it makes new ath

[urban flint]

makes sense

[spare bloom]

i could scalp 10 points

but nah

[urban flint]

The idea was not to long a downtrend on top of a volume profile node

but this move is clearly strong

[spare bloom]

yeah it is cpi day bro

thats why market was flat until news came out

we still got interest day as well

[surreal dust]

Lets go boys!

left 1 for a runenr this time

[spare bloom]

i didnt get a pullback to long

meh

[agile jasper]

good pump

[spare bloom]

700s next

[surreal dust]

compouded and took 1 contract profit at 2600

[spare bloom]

gj bro

[surreal dust]

Thanks man

[urban flint]

Nice one!

[surreal dust]

tell me to be quiet if I talk too much.... loving Lux algo and new to props so on a newbie high atm 😅

[spare bloom]

it is a chat

have fun

[surreal dust]

Well you guys are all great fun so I am having a blast !

[spare bloom]

for me i wanted to long the breakout but i needed atleast a pullback to enter

[urban flint]

these two 1H candles are mental

[agile jasper]

decent pullback

[spare bloom]

could retest the 600s

and see if it holds

[agile jasper]

done already

[spare bloom]

i dont like buying at the top tho..

what if they rugpull 600

i guess i could use 10 point stop

[urban flint]

Clearly someone is lol

When nuke?

[spare bloom]

600s held

[agile jasper]

yup

done

[urban flint]

Watch it at 21625

[agile jasper]

locked out

[urban flint]

They love running it into thoose POC's

[spare bloom]

you sneaked a long @agile jasper

i mean i could have longed that pullback but oh well

[agile jasper]

a few longs yes

i was 1 short and 5 longs today

[spare bloom]

well i dont need to fomo

i made money elsewhere

[agile jasper]

now let NQ run 500 points

don't care

[spare bloom]

big rejection

[surreal dust]

yup that was a big sell

[agile jasper]

are you attaching vwap to NY @surreal dust ?

left the opening range early and it also rejected off it twice

[spare bloom]

you know whats funny?

they rugpulled dow

but not nq

[surreal dust]

Yes I am watching it thank you !

[agile jasper]

dow always getting rugpulled and NQ pumping

650s next target on NQ

[surreal dust]

watching it on TV

tradvingview

[agile jasper]

you can attach it on topstepx

[urban flint]

stopped out :/

[spare bloom]

700s is next target

[surreal dust]

oh ok !

[surreal dust]

I dont really know what I am doing on that platform tbh

oh you are a superstar

thank you man

[agile jasper]

press buy and sell

[agile jasper]

fast recovery

[spare bloom]

if it breaks 700s it is new ath

[surreal dust]

i got fat fingers

[nocturne sigil]

Ahhhhhhh
The Neo Gods
NQ 5m

[surreal dust]

🤨

[agile jasper]

i feel you 😂

[urban flint]

That move is not organic

[agile jasper]

650s done

[spare bloom]

normal days i would short 650

[agile jasper]

you reckon the rugpull is coming?

[spare bloom]

but this looks too strong

700s maybe a small pullback

[surreal dust]

its on... many thanks

[urban flint]

as long as people just buy ATH it's hard to say when it stopps

It was all buy volume since 8:30

[surreal dust]

looking at 21750-ish now

[spare bloom]

yeah dont fight the breakout

you cant time the rugpull

[agile jasper]

that's a boner candle

[urban flint]

Well the breakout was not normal

[agile jasper]

ATH here at 705

[spare bloom]

cpi days are fun

[surreal dust]

oh God that got me good 😂

[urban flint]

it was a 1 in a 10 chance but all driven by news

[spare bloom]

well fun to watch

[agile jasper]

PPI tomorrow

[spare bloom]

ppi doesnt do shit

the only major day is the interest day

[agile jasper]

not as big but still a catalyst

[urban flint]

Wy are people buying here?

[spare bloom]

when is powell speaking

[surreal dust]

retest on 614 area would be good

[surreal dust]

never I hope 😂

or at least not until 750

[urban flint]

Retest on 21k would be good

[agile jasper]

easy boy!!!!

[agile jasper]

you too, easy boy!!!

[spare bloom]

my fingers are itching to short

[surreal dust]

I would like that too... after 760 haha

[spare bloom]

gotta close the chart

[surreal dust]

Got to do the school run soon anyway so will have to walk away and breath lol

[spare bloom]

thats a big dildo 1 h candle

[urban flint]

Can't pick the top here when they kep buying. just have to wait

[agile jasper]

yup

[urban flint]

so far, just all green volume

[spare bloom]

yeah i am not shorting

i follow my rules

i dont pick tops

only known tops but thats all

[agile jasper]

get the bells ready for ATH

[urban flint]

I'm just sitting here watching now

down 2500

I was wrong 🙂

bad play.

[agile jasper]

when is your mental stop?

[spare bloom]

he got stopped

[agile jasper]

stop for the day i mean

[urban flint]

somewhere above 3k is always where I take a break

I'm not looking at it much to be honest. I don't want money effect me

but that was really bad of me to not have a tighter stop

just did not see that strong of a move

[agile jasper]

ATH then rug pull?

[spare bloom]

well you traded cpi

[urban flint]

Yeah, true 🙂

[spare bloom]

i do expect some profit taking at ath

but might just a decent pullback

[surreal dust]

what happens when you make 11k but can only withdraw 5k? Do you keep the balance of 6k in your account? Or does the account reset back to 0 again for the new 5 days?

[urban flint]

I mean.. Tell me another time that you see this?

[spare bloom]

big W

[urban flint]

true. just funny that all sales volume was removed

massive setup

[spare bloom]

ok here we go

pullback time

[agile jasper]

you keep the rest

it's your money

[spare bloom]

hard 10 points

[agile jasper]

biggest pullback since the open

[spare bloom]

done

[surreal dust]

oh wow ... nice

[spare bloom]

i feel better i scalped something

[agile jasper]

next 5 days you can do the minimum $200 a day and then withdraw 3.5k (half of the 7k)

[spare bloom]

cya all tomorrow

[surreal dust]

it is 5k on 150k account right? (10k to withdraw 5k)

[urban flint]

haven't seen any pullback on volume

still printing buy orders non stop

[surreal dust]

I think a bit higher

then bigger retrace imo

764 area.... is my final TP on my longs

well I set it lower just in case it doesn't get there

[agile jasper]

5k max withdrawal per cycle on any account size

[surreal dust]

wish i stayed in 3 contracts from 441 instead of TP.... but can't complain

[surreal dust]

wow that is so generous

[agile jasper]

topstep > apex

top dog

yes they have issues with topstepx now and then

[urban flint]

Some days it's just better to follow trend and volume. this is one of those days, you can just sit and watch nothing being respected in terms of support or resistance and look at volume

[agile jasper]

if it's a widespread issue and affects everyone, they wipe the bad trades for when the issue was

[urban flint]

That's what I'm seeing.

[surreal dust]

I dont think news event days are rational tbh... so shouldn't expect normal activity

[urban flint]

Very good point

[agile jasper]

for example

[surreal dust]

I joined the day before that... was great seeing how they dealt with the issues

[agile jasper]

I had issues in the past, and where it was their fault they made it right

when it was my fault, oh well can't blame anyone but myself

[surreal dust]

that is so comforting

[agile jasper]

i think the numbers are fake

[surreal dust]

I am not entirely confident in Apex's ability to do that

[surreal dust]

that is ok as long as you are on the right side of the trade lol

wow Gold has gone so hard

[spare bloom]

You can pnly manage risk and follow your plan

[agile jasper]

wow GC pumping hard

[spare bloom]

managing risk 90% plan is 10%

[agile jasper]

wrong

managing risk 99%

NQ is struggling at the 700s

[spare bloom]

gotta live on the edge for big profit

[urban flint]

You are here...

[surreal dust]

think my risk is more like 5%... so kinda in the middle haha

[urban flint]

no stopping on the buying

[agile jasper]

is playing 5 mini on NQ is live on the edge?

NQ ATH

[spare bloom]

10 mini minimum

[agile jasper]

i will step up then

[spare bloom]

i do like minis sincw you can scale with them

[urban flint]

time to send it to 22

[agile jasper]

nice push

[deft gorge]

to the moon

[agile jasper]

no regrets for locking out

[urban flint]

Somewhere at 2% is usually where NQ turns

[spare bloom]

maybe 3% today

[urban flint]

That would be insane

[surreal dust]

hmmm dunno if I shoudl leave my runner

[agile jasper]

we are 315 points already

[spare bloom]

People fomo

[urban flint]

leave it

[surreal dust]

maybe just move up SL

[urban flint]

they are still buyign

[agile jasper]

273 points ATR on the daily

[urban flint]

I'm just waiting and watching

[spare bloom]

I think 800 is key level of it doesn't drop then 22k for sure

[agile jasper]

stop to BE. where is the entry?

nearly 6100 on ES

[surreal dust]

that is off my last compound

[agile jasper]

you have a big pair to hold trades for so long 😂

[surreal dust]

added the 1 back in

[agile jasper]

here's me closing at 22 ticks

[surreal dust]

haha I normally trade longer times tbh..... I opened that trade at 4-5 hours ago lol

was sweating bricks tho

so choppy

got stopped out 1 time too

i mean i dont normally hold 4-5 hours ... maybe 1-3 hours because I am used to having to take profit on Apex 30% rule 🤮

[spare bloom]

Dont be too greedy

[agile jasper]

greed is good

[spare bloom]

secure your profits

just use a trailing stop

[surreal dust]

I have banked 5k so far

so just trying to top up a bit now

will move up SL tho... thanks guys

[spare bloom]

You dont wanna be angry if price rugpull

For me this week the big play was buying crypto massive dip and hodling it until today

i am mostly doing crypto this month

[urban flint]

hey we got our first seller!

[agile jasper]

es pulling back

[urban flint]

haha, no price will just continue STRAIGHT up for like 10 h

[agile jasper]

590 vwap on NQ and 665 NY's vwap

[agile jasper]

ahaha

[urban flint]

That we made it that far is inzane

enormous amount of buyers

I guess I should go to the grocery store and see the price change

all seem to have been solved

[agile jasper]

680s would be a decent area to buy

[urban flint]

17k

I'm with Mickey

[agile jasper]

hello @nocturne sigil

[urban flint]

lol

[nocturne sigil]

17 Gang

[urban flint]

It blow through 2 resitance zones like it was not even there

I mean if they don't send it to 17k now I don't know

I'm not buing any dip until a HL on HTF

[agile jasper]

here you go

[urban flint]

Let's make hats

lol

[agile jasper]

😂

[spare bloom]

I shorted 700 to 685 tough hold tbh

very bullish

It was a risky setup

[urban flint]

Let's see if there's buyers left now at this round

[spare bloom]

22k

[agile jasper]

not today

[spare bloom]

There is always power hour

[urban flint]

Aldrigt we have a LH on 5 min at least

That's something

still they are buying

[spare bloom]

we are above ath it is all fomo now

need new ath first

Thats why i said 800

Then 22k

[dry zephyr]

Bruh

[spare bloom]

Should have looked to long gold instead on ny open

It did a nice retest before upside

[surreal dust]

wow got so close to my raised SL

still alive lol

[spare bloom]

Why not just take tp and comeback tomorrow

[surreal dust]

I am ok with the raised SL if it hits... i fancy the higher target TP

[urban flint]

are there as much interest at catching this ? 🙂

[agile jasper]

this is NYs vwap

[urban flint]

correct

break this and good bye NQ gain

[surreal dust]

👍

[urban flint]

putting my target at 17k

lol

[surreal dust]

never say never

I would love 21260 next week 😄

that was a nice test

fun day

[surreal dust]

ohhh sweet

[spare bloom]

We moon 🌙

[surreal dust]

markets or crypto? haha

[spare bloom]

why not both

crypto is mooning

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/community-ken-jeong-ben-chang-ill-allow-it-allowed-gif-4468552

dont worry I am a crypto lover.... I was mining ETH in 2019 😄

Are you into crypto?

hahaa this music @nocturne sigil 😂

[spare bloom]

Been in crypto since 2021

I mined and hodled for 4 years

[surreal dust]

Amazing! What did you mine?

[spare bloom]

Eth but i get paid in btc

So it is like i mined btc

[surreal dust]

get paid in BTC?

wrapped or something?

[spare bloom]

No

Real btc

My eth gets converted to btc

[surreal dust]

Oh i am with you

took a while 😄

[spare bloom]

I didnt have to pay the gas fees

[surreal dust]

oh God

they were so bad those fees

lucky we didn't have a boom on other alts like SOL etc at the time

[agile jasper]

great NQ push off the vwap

[spare bloom]

Moon

[urban flint]

great call mate

Absolutly mental

[surreal dust]

yes I adjusted on that so I am still in

thanks for pointing it out

[urban flint]

Good bounce and continuation, so who knows, just follow along

[steel sandal]

Oh I overslept - missed that signal😭

[surreal dust]

I might have compounded again on that and tested my luck if I wasn't fresh in from the school run

[agile jasper]

look who woke up

NY session almost over and he wakes up

time you call this???

[surreal dust]

haha shows up for the after party... too cool for school 😄

[steel sandal]

I am a total sleeper😭😭 signal was 5:10 am my time

[agile jasper]

you in long?

CL nearly $70

[steel sandal]

Missed that one too

[surreal dust]

Always tomorrow

[steel sandal]

Oh I don’t know if I can give up sleeping tomorrow😂

[surreal dust]

hahaha

I wish I could get some sleep let alone give it up haha

[urban flint]

are we at greed yet? 🙂

[surreal dust]

close to my target now

few ticks

[agile jasper]

you hunting for shorts?

[surreal dust]

maybe 800 could be a short

[spare bloom]

Btc 101k

[urban flint]

I learned my lesson

[spare bloom]

insane rqllies everywhere

[agile jasper]

maybe we'll see shorts when ES hits 6100

[agile jasper]

#🚀crypto-chat

[spare bloom]

I like you guys better

[agile jasper]

haha no danger had to do it

[urban flint]

Haha

[spare bloom]

gold is also new high

Dow is dumping meanwhile

Sucks to be in dow

Es almos 6100

[urban flint]

time for a big candle on NQ

[surreal dust]

the force is strong with this one

[urban flint]

Yes, no recistance I guess

We already took all of that out lol

[spare bloom]

Yes like i always say never short without a supply

if market didnt decide what the high is you just sit and watch

[steel sandal]

CL broke the previous 4hr

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/lilnouns-nouns-lil-nouns-dao-noggles-gif-27131043

[steel sandal]

I was thinking CL would drop not go up in the long trend.

[urban flint]

Here's the 2nd attempt to ruin the NQ party

[steel sandal]

NQ showing bearish divergence but I would not bet on it with that bull thrust.

[nocturne sigil]

Ha

[copper star]

How do i get the aitrend indicator ?

[agile jasper]

what indicator is this?

[surreal dust]

do you go through specific things each session? Or do you take requests etc? Just curious

[nocturne sigil]

I go over most of the questions pertaining to our Premium Toolkits in the Live Stream

[surreal dust]

I know for a fact I am massively underutilising Luxalgo.... I just got lucky and somehow stumbled across the right settings for myself 😂

[nocturne sigil]

Just finished todays stream, will post soon

[surreal dust]

I am sure there are moe tools I could use tho

[surreal dust]

I was in it.. but just watching no questions asked 🙂

[nocturne sigil]

too shy?

[surreal dust]

alittle .... still a noob with luxalgo 😄

all my questions are stupid 😄

[nocturne sigil]

No question is stupid

to a certain extent, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

joking

[surreal dust]

thanks... really alleviated my all fears there 🙂

Come on 22k NQ

[nocturne sigil]

ok ok, I see how this is

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/reality-delusional-delulu-pills-matrix-gif-12316068433289388174

[urban flint]

we are not done yet it seems

[surreal dust]

22k please

compounded again and SL moved up

^^ now that is greedy

I wouldn't long or short anymore up here

no mans land

Nvidia and Tesla still moving up too

[leaden dune]

If i add money to my margin in a trade will it increase profits and losses?

I know it will affect the liquidation price.

[nocturne sigil]

If you deposit additional funds into your account, then your account balance will increase, but will not affect your position size. You can contact your broker for more details on this,

Depositing additional funds into a futures/stock account is not instant for the most part, takes a few days until it gets processed and posted/cleared into your brokerage account

[leaden dune]

Thanks.

[urban flint]

Thank god for lux algo giving me signals when I lost my 2 manual trades this morning.

[surreal dust]

oh you managed to get a trade?

Nice job!

[urban flint]

Yeah, small recovery from a disaster morning. I am all over the map. Should just stick to my signals lol

[surreal dust]

haha it happens

[agile jasper]

what did i miss?

[surreal dust]

Qaction with the scalp

my SL is moved up now I am done with this for today

not changing it anymore

[agile jasper]

not touched 800 yet

[surreal dust]

left it some room

full TP at 21806

should probably make it 810... cause I wont get filled 😂

[agile jasper]

your xfa is at 10k already right? 😂

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-smile-grinning-happy-glad-gif-2461529548893057137

amazing first day lol

wish every day was so good 😂

PPI tomorrow tho right! ?

[agile jasper]

PPI tomorrow

[agile jasper]

imagine you had 5 xfa's

damn

[nocturne sigil]

or 10 xfa's
yup

[agile jasper]

keep dreaming of 10

[surreal dust]

haha

not sure I have the nerve to do 10

I would have definitely closed earlier

lol

do you guys have multiple Xfas to trade?

[nocturne sigil]

wanna know how many I really have? take a guess

[agile jasper]

i have 5 and i copy trade them

[surreal dust]

10? haha

[surreal dust]

and it works perfectly ? More or less....

Will treat myself to an extra account when I get my next payout 😄

[nocturne sigil]

ZERO

[surreal dust]

haha massive anticlimax

thought it was going to be at least two haha

what do you trade ?

[nocturne sigil]

fx and futures, thats it

[surreal dust]

oh nice

how are you getting on with FX?

that Greg Sacker or whatever his name is plastered all over my facebook 😂

806 on NQ 😄

[nocturne sigil]

No clue who that is

But fx is good for me

Slow and steady

Great for swings

Market structure

Futures, pump and dump

[surreal dust]

Is there a rule about DCA's on topstp

btw? can you do it indefinitely? lol

[surreal dust]

interesting.... do you trade a specific pair?

or few pairs

if we take 859 I am adding again

😂

Tesla and Nvidia hitting resistence now tho

[agile jasper]

zero hidden rules

the DCA rule is BS

the only rule you need to know about: don't let your account go below $0

or below the max loss limit

[surreal dust]

ok thanks.... will add another contract at the next drop then

although 2806 is pretty extended

well 815 ish

lol the order blocks are stacked atm... going to be hard fall tho eventually !

maybe not until tomorrow tho ... or maybe overnight Asia?

[surreal dust]

closed out position

opened new one 😄

will reduce TP tho I think lol

Sexy Luxalgo

will be out tho if we dont go through the high this time

and done for the day will probably lock out... which is a nice feature

[nocturne sigil]

Does anyone here swing trade NQ? Meaning hold for a few days to weeks for higher TP’s?

🤷‍♂️

[surreal dust]

we are not allowed to

on Apex and Topstep haha

so that is me out!

I did when I traded privately though...... would wait for the bigger dips and then try hold a position into the year

and add in slowly

[agile jasper]

when moved to live you can do it if you show performance

[agile jasper]

do it already!

[surreal dust]

well stopped out in last profit trade

market is about to close anyway

watching netflix 🙂

[surreal dust]

oh wow ok!

Well maybe one day if I get passed

nice goals

[agile jasper]

erm no

it's POWER HOUR

[surreal dust]

haha my power went a few hours ago 😂

[steel sandal]

I don’t see a sign of cool off with NQ yet

[surreal dust]

not happening on this day

[steel sandal]

Yea thinking same

If I would buy now I bet it will short like crazy 😂

[urban flint]

when do they pull the plug?

You have a top candle on 5 min, and less than 1.5h to close. I don't see any interest in down

[steel sandal]

Yea too risky atm to buy or sell. Need to plan. When that 4hrs close, we re entering low vol session. I would not do anything with NQ until Late London and early NY AM

[urban flint]

I've traded these on forex time, I was too early to short that time too. Really remember it retracing back hard though to target

Megaphone time

[agile jasper]

megaphone haha

[urban flint]

Let's be real, NQ is super bullish at this time so it would take a lot to retrace.. They have been buying any dip at this time.

[agile jasper]

glad you are convinced at least today is not a day to short this

[urban flint]

Haha, I smell sarcasm 🙂 I was wrong

Simply overread the market

[agile jasper]

the sarcasm was not intended

but i re-read it now and it sounds a bit haha

[urban flint]

Today was one of those days to just long and forget about it

I was looking at HTF and that move did make 0 sense, but the data kept showing that we were going up. I just could not buy into it

A better strategy there for me would have been to no buy or sell

The urge to participate and capitalize on some of those revesal was too large. Some days you can just ride the trend, others you have to look at levels and the bigger picture.

[agile jasper]

yup

agree

easy recovery anyway

[urban flint]

Yes, you guys told me, too strong of a tend and should have listened haha

[steel sandal]

Folks just took their profits right at market close. I would not believe in that short

Blue band is the 4hr bull imbalance on 5min chart. Price testing it.

[agile jasper]

they always do this

[ornate raven]

hello

[steel sandal]

Do we have any Futures Backtested strats on the discord channel? I will spend some time to learn more about that AI feature this weekend.

[nocturne sigil]

I bet some folks in the Ultimate channels may have a few? #🧬ai-chat #🧪share-strats-indicators #📌pinned-strats-indicators

[steel sandal]

Made some quick bucks

Grocery money😂

[urban flint]

I have 3 on NQ 🙂

[urban flint]

Posted it in the ai backtesting chat

[steel sandal]

Thanks!! I will spend some time to learn that this weekend

[winged raven]

i do not have access to this channel but i am premium member

[urban flint]

Caution, it’s a very good and powerful tool. the challenge is to use it in your trading and also adjust it as the market is changing. Best of luck!

[last prawn]

what is anyone thinking about the TSLA move today. Taking off of the table some or all. Maybe let it ride a bit longer?

I did the PREMIUM is the ULTIMATE a must have?

[steel sandal]

Thank you. AI thing is totally new to me. I will try learning that this weekend

[steel sandal]

HG moving up great with perfect initial setup.

[nocturne sigil]

[void dawn]

Thoughts on gold?

[fair socket]

Todays news

[surreal dust]

i dont like it ... as it stopped me out before it went up this morning... 🤨 Sl too tight

coming down to 2680 area would be good for me lol

[copper tiger]

Hello everyone

[fair socket]

Morning

[copper tiger]

How’s trading been going Danny

[fair socket]

Good tbf, paused my FX trading to do a little Futures - still learning the price action compared to FX but i cant complain. How about yourself?

[copper tiger]

I paused All my trading stuff until February just to be safe
Can’t have the itch coming back and blowing it due to fomo lol

[fair socket]

Good trade management, i usually stop in Dec and return mid Jan usually in FX

[copper tiger]

I took a peak at EURUSD holyyyyy 😂😂😂

[surreal dust]

Gold overhead resistance 🫣

[surreal dust]

Not confident this plays out.. but in it for the biscuit now

[surreal dust]

slow bleed until PPI?

[zenith narwhal]

Guys @sudden sun is afraid to trade GC at this point. I told him to hop in here and drop his setups here for review.

• @sturdy wharf @urban flint @surreal dust for GC, CL and HOGS (don't ask about HOGS, he won't shutup)
• @agile jasper for NQ (man loves his rollercoasters)
• @nocturne sigil for pretty much everything. (He has a stream. Every.Day. Join that)

U got the LA tools. Now utilize the most important part of it buddy. This Discord and the people in it.

[agile jasper]

[sudden sun]

someone has a nice setup on gold?

[agile jasper]

add @urban flint for GC and maybe @surreal dust

me and GC are not friends since my forex times

[sudden sun]

oh I only trade gold and btc

What do you normally trade caca?

I just took this scalp

with and risked 1/2 of normal

[agile jasper]

NQ

ocasionally nikkei

[sudden sun]

Okay okay

Do you guys trade with top step?

[neon atlas]

Are you still a funded trader?

[agile jasper]

yes with topstep

[sudden sun]

SI

im not funded im int he eval

[nocturne sigil]

https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1178430832151638077

[sudden sun]

i have a question does ur max drawdown trail with your gains and doesnt drop after its been increased?

[surreal dust]

haha what is that 😂

[agile jasper]

max drawdown stops at $0 if the account goes over it

so for example in XFA 50k you start with -2k max DD

if you make 5k on that account, your max DD trails and stops at 0

[surreal dust]

Look ing at NQ at 569-600 area and baby gold back at the monday high 2700 😄

might review 2720 area too

[glossy sonnet]

B4

After

I love it here

[surreal dust]

Nice!

[surreal dust]

what does the squeeze % show?

[agile jasper]

12% https://docs.luxalgo.com/docs/toolkits/signals-overlays/dashboard#squeeze

[glossy sonnet]

Red 6.47%

[surreal dust]

ty

saved that page thanks

[agile jasper]

nvda dumping

[surreal dust]

yes I have gone to my lower target now for NQ... at the mid point of yesterday

waiting

[urban flint]

Good Morning, especially the 17k gang

[nocturne sigil]

NQ 5m after news drop

17?

[urban flint]

I mean, check money flow here on 4h. This move yesterday made 0 sense

Market is usually like 6 month ahead of reality. How does the future reality look like for US? I think in some ways chaos, but also some positives and deregulations for the market. Hard to tell, but when the 4h money flow turns red, it’s usually not a great sign, and it’s further slanting down.

[nocturne sigil]

The Play

🤔

[agile jasper]

quite likely

[urban flint]

I agree, let’s see if the volume continues to roll in today or if we see the volume rolling out consistently.

Always hard to tell after such rally

[surreal dust]

M7 all weak atm

[urban flint]

If we break the low without a good wick then I say at least 21470

[nocturne sigil]

Oh sh*****t

[fleet bramble]

Hey all, new here. I just started using the Smart Money Concepts indicator and have a question. What does weak/strong high/low mean? If it’s weak then it has a higher probability than weak that it can break through?

[surreal dust]

looks like consolidation really atm I still would like to see Monday Mid... would try enter a long there on NQ

[steel sandal]

Seriously need to stay awake 24hrs to catch NQ

[agile jasper]

have a look here what the weak/strong/low means for the premium toolkits, the same concept will apply to the free SMC as well #💬hangout message

[agile jasper]

ny opens in about 20 mins

[surreal dust]

24.1 hours 👍

[surreal dust]

take it down for me 😄

[agile jasper]

yup

[fleet bramble]

Appreciate it thank you!

[steel sandal]

21670 is the previous week tip

It may be the support line

[surreal dust]

die silver

😄

caught something finally ... boring PPI

[agile jasper]

you trade everything lol

[zenith narwhal]

can u be serious for once, this is a serious matter

me to support:

[surreal dust]

haha I only watching ES, NQ, Silver and NQ

sometimes view US30

but nothing else haha

[agile jasper]

what are you trying to achieve?

[zenith narwhal]

Can U guys stop making bank while I'm stuck waiting for my new eval 💀.. i feel left out

[zenith narwhal]

I accidentally made a NT account instead of TopstepX. So they gave me a promo to swap platforms (free eval), but the promo is disabled.

[agile jasper]

damn

[zenith narwhal]

So they say: use this code
me: uses code
them: haha prank!

[surreal dust]

that sucks!

[zenith narwhal]

I'm now watching from the sideline while u guys making bank

(not touchin my algos)

[steel sandal]

I got silver alert at 3:00am😭

[agile jasper]

will leave some for you as well dw

[steel sandal]

Even the copper!!

[agile jasper]

we're about to open

[surreal dust]

long day ahead

[vocal jungle]

Order blocks are king! My win rate has improved dramatically just by using these Tp and Sl levels provided

[surreal dust]

bye bye silver

[zenith narwhal]

good good. I can open way too many contracts on GC again so i'll be clapped within the hour, thinking i'm on MGC like a dumbass.

[surreal dust]

LOVE order blocks.... 😄

[agile jasper]

we're going downtown

[zenith narwhal]

gonna touch grass. Have fun guys 🫡

[surreal dust]

Silver target too ambitious ? haha

[agile jasper]

way too ambitious

but who am I , i never traded silver lol

[surreal dust]

haha fair

might move it up

[steel sandal]

21670 too strong with NQ

[surreal dust]

i had it set to weekly open

but maybe pweek high is more realistic

locked in 1k... so happy now school run time

gl guys!

[vocal jungle]

Looking at the same target area my friend

I definitely want to learn more about the order blocks and how to read it. I guess the level it was resting on was wiped out

[agile jasper]

vwap at 705

[urban flint]

I took a short there

[agile jasper]

i am getting chopped so far

[urban flint]

I went back yesterday and replayed 30 days with how I should trade. It was mechanic today so I trust my trade here

If not, I’m okey with a stop as it’s tight

[steel sandal]

NQ keeps bouncing off prev week high and 4hr fvg

21670 crazy support

I will switch my account from TD Amer to interactive Brokers. Annoys me switching apps to buy sell on the phone.

[agile jasper]

gc dumped right down

[spare bloom]

Boring day

[agile jasper]

vwap at 700

[nocturne sigil]

After news was garbage, so instead of seconds or 1m, I scalped 30 ticks short in this mess, somewhere around here, LOL

[spare bloom]

I was driving to the office and missed the short on ny open

[steel sandal]

Need 7 more mins. Let the new prev 4hr shows up

[agile jasper]

you snooze you lose

[spare bloom]

It is chop city

[nocturne sigil]

you mean dumpster city?

toilet city?

🚽

[urban flint]

Hehe, looks okey to me. Selling but no move in price yet

[agile jasper]

ES new lows

[spare bloom]

If you are selling ima long

7 points

Give me 20

[urban flint]

Hah, I picked my side.

Ok with a loss

[agile jasper]

losses are good

[spare bloom]

It is just ranging you can win both sides

[agile jasper]

healthy

[nocturne sigil]

Im ok with your loss as well

[steel sandal]

21650 will be the new support in a min

[spare bloom]

Lets goo

Push

[nocturne sigil]

Like salad healthy?
Or like Big Mac healthy?

[spare bloom]

Yeeees

[urban flint]

It’s better than I did the other day, like trade and over trade

[spare bloom]

Finally

Thanks for yhe 20

[agile jasper]

no idea what a big mac healthy is

dont want to know 😂

[spare bloom]

20 points in this chop is good for me

[steel sandal]

Now we have two supports. 21650 from prev 4hr, 21670 from the prev week

[spare bloom]

We have chop thats all

[nocturne sigil]

wicky wicks

[steel sandal]

If you kept buy 21670 past 30mins, you d make fortune with the chop😂

Had crazy wicks

[nocturne sigil]

🪠

[spare bloom]

Micky could have been a millionare with the 30 tick farm

[agile jasper]

yup

back up at the 80s

[steel sandal]

Size of the wicks!!😂

[nocturne sigil]

But, has the story really changed?

[steel sandal]

I dont think so. It still wants to bust

Like him or not - Trump factor😂

[agile jasper]

the open was painful

we're finally breaking to the downside

[urban flint]

How did it work?

[spare bloom]

I closed with 20 points profit like i said

[agile jasper]

go to 600s

[nocturne sigil]

[steel sandal]

Yea now we have a 4hr bearish fvg on top.. strong sell

[spare bloom]

I longed dow got 40 points

Atleast it is moving beeter than nq

[steel sandal]

21650 is the new magnet now from 4hr

Making big wicks

[agile jasper]

yup

[steel sandal]

Oh I would lose boatload money today if I d trade- crazy choppy

[agile jasper]

what a ripper

[spare bloom]

You could i just put my stop below the range

[steel sandal]

Look at it now😂

Back to 21670

[spare bloom]

Thats the dow move but it happened 5 minutes later on nq

i banked that 40 points bruh

[steel sandal]

These wicks are killer

[spare bloom]

Dow is clean no bs wicks

Today

[agile jasper]

700s then?

[spare bloom]

Wow adobe dropped 13%

[agile jasper]

not that far off

[spare bloom]

no wonder we got the dumps

Guess earnings

[steel sandal]

Totally

[agile jasper]

finally

[steel sandal]

tech gets too sharp with earnings unlike Dow

[agile jasper]

thank you NQ

[spare bloom]

You ok? @urban flint

That was a nice rip on nq

[agile jasper]

yup

locked out

[spare bloom]

Wow

big dick candles

[agile jasper]

yup

[spare bloom]

It makes sense good retracement from yday pump

50% retracement

[steel sandal]

Hard to beat the trail now on the long side- careful

[spare bloom]

It is ok just another big dick candle

We bounced from my vwap

Saw a wick

Lets see if people short the retest

otherwise it will just go up

[steel sandal]

4hr bear OB and the trail. Not easy to beat for long

[spare bloom]

Will see

[nocturne sigil]

Nice
What alerts you have with the highlight bar?

[steel sandal]

Silver long- 4hr bounce coming

[steel sandal]

I made my own buy sell signal with some scorings and scripting

Basically just added some more knobs to tweak per what I am trading.

[nocturne sigil]

Cool 🆒

[steel sandal]

But mainly still the goal is to follow fundamentals from OB, FGV, trails. I only take the signal if I see not blocks on the path

And if I am awake😂. Just doing this as a hobby

Keep an eye on SI. It may bounce from 4hr block

That’s 5mins SI on 4hr ICT

I only trade with my signals but some of you are fast 1min scalpers😂

[agile jasper]

everyone safe from the vshape recovery?

[vocal jungle]

LFG silver! Drop it like it's hot! Eat those order blocks!

[urban flint]

I bet we run back to 21795 my short stopped BE, good try and test of the low today

[agile jasper]

my account also had a vshape recovery

https://tenor.com/view/roller-coaster-gif-27547420

[steel sandal]

SI is still within the 4hr order block. It may create a long set up (or not) but good to keep an eye

Set alert at 31.7

[surreal dust]

Thank you silver 😎

[agile jasper]

i'm jealous

what's the tick size?

[surreal dust]

One because I had to do the school run otherwise I would have compounded it’s ass 😎

[steel sandal]

PL may show signs to recover from prev day and Prev 4hr supports

Yellow line I am using is the NEO cloud Lag set at 1. Pretty useful for the trends.

I usually turn off the cloud and the neo lead.

[vocal jungle]

Gotta say I've only been around a few weeks. But this is a strong community, the strongest I've seen in my years of being in crypto. You're all the goats.

Let's get some

2025 here we come!

[agile jasper]

2025

overnight highs 780 NQ then ATH

still very early

[spare bloom]

We are still bullish

Thats why i only took longs

[surreal dust]

urggghhh

stupid school run

will ahve to close i tnow

[agile jasper]

LMAO

[spare bloom]

Dude is rich now

[steel sandal]

I ma targeting 750

[agile jasper]

[spare bloom]

Ye silver cant size alot

[steel sandal]

Was waiting for the signal

[spare bloom]

Id rather trade gold

[surreal dust]

closed

i hated school and hate it even more now

😂

cost me 1k extra profit

oh well what to do

[spare bloom]

4k is still good

[surreal dust]

could be worse!

[spare bloom]

you will be a millionare if you make that forna year straight

[surreal dust]

[surreal dust]

haha will settle for a smaller goal for now !

[steel sandal]

I m long atm

[agile jasper]

i did, i closed too early but still happy

[steel sandal]

Just entered the signal

[agile jasper]

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

[spare bloom]

I got two longs dow one long nq and i even longed gu on forex for a quick scalp

[agile jasper]

NQ too strong

[surreal dust]

see if I get a chance to get in haha

[steel sandal]

There is that tiny 4hr left over target I have at 750

[spare bloom]

Wasnt hard to break that trail afterall

[surreal dust]

or go long silver now 😂

[spare bloom]

Good day overall

[surreal dust]

my NQ trade didn't get filled... you guys didn't short the market hard enough 😂

[steel sandal]

Early for silver to decide but I will keep an eye

[spare bloom]

You needed to yolo long like ydya

[surreal dust]

it never works out for me haha

[steel sandal]

Needs to break neo lag, needs to come out of 4hr OB

Getting there but I would not take long yet

[spare bloom]

I scalp so i took longs there

[steel sandal]

Yea I ma showing 5min atm. Maybe 1mins work

[surreal dust]

confluence with gold as well atm

both bouncing

so we might get a shot soon

[spare bloom]

See that wick thats where i entered but i did earlier cuz i use 4 min

[surreal dust]

haha I use the 3min

and the 1 min and 5 min and the 15min can't decide who looks better 😂

[spare bloom]

4 min is 1 min later than 3 min and 1 min earlier than 5
