moving SL up and pushing out TP
although I am limit to 30% profit as I am trading on APEX only atm π€’
overtrading would be a nice discription lol
Haha
i was 8k up in gold at the highest point today
Oh boy, yea I get it
oh no
you can see why I dont want to think about it π‘
VWAP should be considered in every strategy
hello
it's alright
happens, will happen again
wil try not to :/
You can see how much I love this trade by my SL moves lol
missed this NQ move now on topstep as I am locked out... double whammy
haahha i am like that π
Market maker Caca fighting the good fight being unamerican shorting NQ
Still don't see any selling
But yea that wick closed it
Kind of looks like we continue the grind
gg
Just patience and setups.
100%
Really thought my long trade this morning would hold
broke all my own rules today on gold
text book whack trader job π
full loco π
Hehe, yea carful there. I've done that and broke accounts or been lucky
lucky it was just profit :/
but if I didn't lock it I think it might have been alot worse tbh
was really messing with my hand
21818 was the open candle, I kind of had that Area marked as a short earlier
I just don't know if we have enough time or will really for another trade.
also 21843 seems very good too
Not saying it's a good play as it looks strong, just an idea
still some opportunities but I am done for the day tbh so I will be chilling out and waiting for FMOC π
What's your plans this weekend?
Hehe I am back long
just driving kids to classes and hopefully some R&R for me when they are out
dont like it
i mean my short
might close soon
SL is in profit now
lol
It was just hanging out at the low for a while and I saw continuations patten
Good place to buy in updtrend if it actualy continues
π
at least the stop is tight like you said
range is holding for now
so one of us is going to be happy eventually
π
Haha
lol
Hehe, yea gold can mess with you. I've tried shorting it before that's the danger play.
Too many feelings.
Hehe I don't think we are going to get much at this time of the day on a friday, but one can hope
eat my $20 profit π
I am still down
well I hope yours works out π
Someone once said, follow the big candles. The big candle on 1 min was up, but it struggled.
Hehe, I have been there too a lot
you can tell I am not bitter right? π
I think you got a good chance
It's been a struggle
although Tesla is at resistence and Nvidia isn't really doing anything
other m5 are all doing nothing now
Interesting
How about now?
π
wow close one
Could have been a good one for you
tight stop
much tighter than me
There's 2 way of winning at this game, either accuracy or minimize your losses
it stays in the range or I am out
Right. for sure
I am not going to get filled now lol
so many potential scalps there fir you are on the ball haha
ooh
what the helll
I am in
You just take the low then go high close
my TV was gltiching lol
gimme my 250
Don't loose it now
This is the fold if we loose it here
Dang. I did not see that
Thought there was some buyers left.
Retest of 21771
Longs are for loosers
lol
Sorry mate
It's always a close call. looked good though
It will go down to 771
just wanted to recoup the loss
not revenge trading just saw the opportunity
3 bar reversal on 3 mind for long π
Don't worry I closed at Wvap bounce and switched long π
I would have switched on the 3 bar if I could have been bothered tbh lol
had enough for today π
great you caught it tho!
Have a good weekend
Pretty happy this weekπ hope you all have a good weekend
NG Is tough to trade to me.
toughts about NVDA?
and what this means?
do you expect it to fall further or the recent support may be a base of an advance?
it means moon ball π
no clue but this is the futures channel, if you want to ask a question please ask in 1 channel not everywhere
Ok so if I'm using UTC -5 which is New York time and CL using UTC-6 then that means i need change time frame when I switch back and forward between ES and CL?
Not necessarily this is all up to you and how you want to view your times pertaining to your time zone as well
Because price will be the same
For me, I keep all my charts all my symbols on New York time zone
Per some of my traditional analytical tools, it tells me that oil is about to find some significant upside. Might consolidate more but defiantly bottomed
Iβm going to start playing that long next week
I will teach you for free, just stay here on discord and we can discuss lol.
haha need to watch this film again
lets go NQ
back with vengeance on gold too ... wish me luck lol
Nice... lets go π
oh you out of gold already? Was a really nice move earlier
I was late getting in as I zzzzzzzzzz
u guys started early
i thought I did....
then Cartia upended me haha
always someone else who is in first π
as caca says you snooze you lose
for sure.... but smart entries make it a lot more palatable lol
I finally have my account.
Oh wait that guy is in some controversy.. nvm
trying to join u guys in Gold 
ahahahaha
My psych told me to make ''flash cards''. Like reminders throughout the day for mental.
I'm going to quote @agile jasper on a flashcard with this. 
send one to me as well when you make them 
π (need this for later)
dont worry I am being patient for TP haha
have you got a flash card for me when I need to sell π
file should be CC size to put in your wallet.
Simplicity does it.
Do what I always do. Way too early so u miss out on all of the profit.
@surreal dust 2683.7 or higher? 
holding out for 2688... but strong resistance up here
so SL is moved into profit for me now
in case we get a flush down
haha luxaglo meme in the making
Good start to the week and good morning!
GM
NQ looking good... just waiting to see how it reacts up here again
might cash out if it does drop again
Yeah, pretty happy about that trade. Just going to wait to open now.
someone really wants to sell that monday high lol
Am I the only one in here that uses Apex as well?
i think we'll blast through it
might even see 22k before NY opens for business
hahah what a call
the timing
so guaranteed max payout for me on APEX on that one π
oh you woke up in a good mood
tell me more π
gu hit BE+ it was a pin in the butt but atleast i got an nq long and made up for the wasted time
shoulda took my long ong NQ...
you promised me now
I moved my TP up
π
will be lots of chances this week
always
gold stopped out in profit... thought that flush was coming naughty naughty
might re enter... we will see
or go short.. we will see haha
βMooom.. Achilles is using me as liquidity.β
looks like I just got filled again anyway haha
more likely to be @agile jasper
see if Gold is going to behave up here ot tank
mfw gu is now moving to my original tp LOL
but oh well no regrets that shit was slow af today
21900
1m
looks like the famous boner candles are out
haha that is the worse when that happens
I am out to cash out on NQ
after adding another contractr
will take it and wait till market opens later to see how things are going
nq made me happy atleast with the long
fk GU
100% i am out now
so waiting π
yeah same
haah that is how I feel about Gold on a daily basis π
well since Friday anyway π
out of gold ... $100 profit haha
stopped again
will wait to short it I think later
Just bouncing around here until something exciting next year?
what a tease π
ATH not that far away to be fair
have a good one man
Let's send it to 22k okey
I am done after this for the day haha
Me too
banked 7.5k... just wanted to round it up to 8k ish haha
wow should have left it
dont wan tto be greedy tho
you out or still in??
sexy
π
might just grind higher
I am not entering again lol
I'm sitting still
REMEMBER GOLD ON FRIDAY is plastered in my head... no way I am giving this 8k back today lol
locked out π
could open another eval tho π
π
We all want it lol
it's a small leap
wow that would have been so much profit with my 3 contracts haha
going to work i tout
10k not as much as I thought only 2k worse off... but I am chilled out so will take it π
@urban flint will collect bank for us π
beautiful
Yea, good stuff
Im going to just wait now. it's one of those days I would have left it in if not already at ATH
its just one of those
you stayed in longer than I did haha so you got that benefit too π
I see the volume it probably would go, but I don't want to miss the profit
would love for a massive sell off tomorrow and then up again on fmoc π
I can dream π
squeeze
wow
we take those 
professional gambler
Apparently u have to lock in your TP/SL on Tradingview. I thought they were set.
left home with profit
come home to SL (at entry) not being triggered.
ES ripping
I'm shorting 21.999.0* like a bully
no shorts allowed
22k
yup
Mickys streaming LIVE right now! https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1178430832151638077

I am glad I only took 1 trade.
Yea, short is probably the way at the top. got some candles confirming that was a good call
I'm not sure if I want to enter again today. I see big risk and not much reward
Too much of a news week that the market makers will wait on
yea, I'm not sure here . Think the market is unsure too
I see conflicting data so in those times I need to stay out
wow nice moves π
I am locked out ... so no choice lol
seems like bears have allready gone to hibernation mode...
yup
22100 I meant lol
Btc 107k π
lol
The lets grind higher game is still alive.
Agree
Took a safe trade and just moved with it
Looked too good with the breakout
Thats it for the Bulls! They finally gave in
just a wee pullback
Come on Bulls! Shorts dont want you squeezing them here! take them out!
Yup. I say around 200 we hit that upper trend line, should be some retrace there
I canβt decide but I think GC looks bullish at this price point. Might try a long at one point
2664 should be a really good entry if it holds
God Speed

Not sure what that means
Sounds cool though
π€·ββοΈ
Hehe, always easy to say after the fact, but I say gold is a good buy at this price.
Ainβt that that the truth 
Yeah, I mean itβs right at break it or make it point. So kind of looking at it to pick direction first then take that trade. Sure looks like a good area for either or
Took the GC long
GC pulling back
Yeah, needs consolidation
Interesting area for sure.
If hold, then thatβs a nice HL
report prince...spam
Looks like gc might be testing the downside instead π
Whoa NQ
No wonder the British economy is having difficulties! The Brits seem to only wnat to sell off the market versus expand it! Its called wealth creation!
And i thought the Nikkie traders were awful! Brits cant seem to pick a direction! Like watching a game of PONG, but in even slower motion
Do the Brits know how to battle the short sellers? Have they been trained in this?
Hope the Brits recognized the great short squeeze we had yesterday in the NQ!
nice short on gj
set BE and afk now until it hits tp
almost there xD
great trade β
there we go
nowadays i am trying to finish before ny open
haha
got another combine through Topstep... going to try copytrading... needs tips π @agile jasper
yes i like this. once you have the XFA go to settings-> copy trading
Thank you
Man the amount of spam fake friends requests from this channel is insane
π
almost forgot
wait who put NQ on 22.3
contract rollover
ah ofc. Those Future things
it is rare but market got clean pa today
it is kinda scary xD
very few choppy moves
yup agree
straight down
hello there
Sit on my hands
the only shitty pa today is gbpusd but i am glad i chose its jpy version instead hahahaha
was going to go short
looks long now to me
so will wait till after school run for it settle lol
you could just take the day off then
i was done before ny open
PA / XFA ... sorry still on APEX lol
market was amazing today
champion π₯ π
rarely i get so many good setups before ny
well sounds like you took full opportunity of it !
you did too xD
i think today if you looked you could have atleast had one great trade
yes I am sure you are right.. I can see one π wasn't the one I took tho lol
For those that keep getting rekt on NQ, why beat yourself up? Why not ES instead?
π€·π»ββοΈ
HA, I think ES will test patience
nq is faster tho
es can be mental sometimes
cuz it doesnt do retracements fast enough
nq retraces and chops alot faster which is what i like
if you scalp you need fast setups not a single setup and you are fked cuz you missed the entry
look at nq today you could have many great shorts from that same level
well meanwhile btc is 108k now
new lows on NQ
wow Nvidia wicks
Yup, NQ can jump and spit 50 ticks the other way in 0.000000003 seconds

thats why i like it
even if you guessed wrong it will still make you money

i dont use small sl anyways most of my sl are like 15-20 points on nq
NY's vwap held as a resistance
i didnt expect that level to hold so strongly many times
if you shorted that level today each time you would get atleast 40 points
kinda insane
Morning
nice entry
Thanks, letβs go fill this gap
nice
opening range low rejected
Yup, planning a new entry higher
I am short gold
not touching gold today looks like friday haha
I wanted to short gold but i chose safer things to short instead
Mickys streaming LIVE right now! https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1178430832151638077

Wow, what happened there?
random pop
Shieldeum
Tesla kinda neutral still
the rest started moving on
see how long it lasts... enjoying not being in the market atm π
I'm investing in $SDM and it's boosting curiosity who else here is trading SDM
It is not random.market is bullish and it tested a strong psychological level.just cuz we had a pullback doesnt make it bearish lol
it was simply retracement from yday pump and people bought
SDM the Shieldeum token comes with a lot of benefits and it's worth sharing
this is the futures channel
Isnt he a scam bot?
The strength on NQ in full force π
would like to see a deeper sell off heading into tomorrow
been begging for it for 1.5 days π
Looks like we are heading back to PDH
Not sure there is on particularly strategy tbh.... just paying attention to the general trend / momentum and looking for confluence across the markets (ie Nasdaq for me I always check the M7 before trading usually).... also looking for ladder patterns .... I think the wedges on luxalgo are pretty useful too
vwap + order blocks I use alot too and general buying patterns especially ladders can give a clue sometime
not sure how helpful that is lol
I'm not sure I understood you.
Gold I have been waiting to see a reclaim of 2657 for a possible breakup
what tools are you using on luxalgo?
(not that I am an expert - still very much learning still)
all roads lead to vwap
there isn't just one thing I am using ... so for me and my style is a combination of factors
is it bad I love vwap so much π
Signals & Overlays toolkit
I mainly use 15m chart and then I dig in to lower timeframe before entering
you can see on the 15m chart a possible breakup on Gold coming
with multiple confluences for me so that is where I entered the trade
my TP will be lowered tho.... monitoring what happens
wedges, vwaps, order blocks, signal, buying ladder ... think that one has it all haha
it is one i definitely pay attention to ... if I see setups like this I personally would look for entries
i wasn't really monitoring anything but my gold alert triggered at the price point so I jumped into the chart and saw the patterns
What is your R/R ratio? Is it 1:2 or something else?
also why my stop is in profit as it pretty horrible resistence up above
depends what prop firm I am trading
I have 30% max profit rules on APEX
Topstep is not capped
I will try go for 1:3 by default
i prefer longer term holds (but I do quick scalp if I see a little range) @urban flint is good at seeing ranges ... you should ask him too

Are u scalper
no but I will if I see the opportunity
Iβm trying to find a strong strategy that I can work with and achieve excellent results, but I havenβt found it yet.
i understand
I think it is important to try figure out what kind of trader you are first and then go from there
timeframes, R:R, how long you want or dont want to hold trades for..... and then are you looking for breakouts or ranges or momentium trades etc etc
and once you know things like that.... then you can form a strategy and tools around that to help you
that is my opinion anyway.... that is what works for me
I love scalping and I prefer trading currencies or indices that move in one direction.
I also tried to find strategies... but trading strategy person to person can be quite subjective in my book π
so you should be mapping out areas of large support and resistance and looking for them to get hit and then entering trades maybe? If you want stuff to only go one direction
as there is a higher probability of that if you hit high liquidity areas with strong support / resistance of getting a move up or down
I think there are some really good traders in here... so worth asking others opinions on the matter ... sure there will be some really interesting answers !
we can all learn from each other
but for me and my style luxalgo is just fantastic π―
do you use a prop firm?
There is someone named Philip who has the strategy I want. I think it's strong, and it relies on the Signals & Overlays toolkit.
out of my wheel house... still a luxalgo newbie.. .just found the exact settings I was looking for to aid me and used them lol .... its on my do list to explore it more over Xmas when I have more time and less trading π
let me know what you find π
can u shere with me
just realised my default risk to reward setting is normally 1:5 π
I dont know what half the other stuff does
π
not sure I am the best person to show you settings
but this is really good... I think @agile jasper showed me this last week
really good info
wow haha
It seems like itβs just standard settings.
the rest is not ticked
so much stuff and options just been reading through them
so good... really need to spend more time going through all the options looks incredible lol
me
my broker platform is pretty good it lets me manage trades and set tp and sl instantly on many positions
so you could do that with a phone np
actually it is pretty common here to trade on phone
well i dont see an issue you also can set limit orders and sl and move them on the chart like you would on TV
it is just you have smaller screen
Nice π
I prefer the pc... i use bybit on my mobile to trade crypto and I hate it... always go back to pc π
I can do swing trades on my phone, but scalping will need a full screen
idk for me i feel it is faster on phone.the buttons are right next to each other and i can execute faster
What is your R/R ratio? Is it 1:2 or something else?
I am too PC bound haha
Man NQ is really refusing to go down at all.
yeah
Looking Strong!
it will capitulate I am willing it into existence π«
i am on pc for long hours but i like taking walks and going outside too lol
I mean at one point it will give in.. but man it's strong
do you trade while you are on walks π
yes
even on the beach sometimes
i can trade anywhere
I think I'm done for today.
I used to trade crypto from the beach we go to... it is so stressful
Nothing seems to happen
as the signal is intermittent and I walked around the seafront trying to get a signal
π€¦ββοΈ
hahaha
not much happening today man
yeah you need to make sure you have good internet
i always check my ping before i start a trade
Glad I'm up 1500. Taking it. Seems to be no move kind of day
it is so stressful when you can't get a signal but the alerts come through π
nice work !
yeah still holding
bit worried it is stuck here... but I am holding... but if it loses the pdlow I will come out
gold might have correction to 2530 but then again nobody knows what will happen in upcoming days
it could also shoot to 2800
SL is in $100 profit now... will take that over a wick down and minus 300
yes I am looking for it to go down too I think that is the general consensus but.... as you said can easily do a 2800 too π
i wanted to short it this morning was beautifully setup for a short but I missed it for various reasons
if you are new to trading.i recommend not trading during holidays week
liquidity will be thin
I am having an op on Friday so I am out of action for a week or two anyway
nice chance to rest and recover... well it will be forced haha
Thursday is my last trading day... I have locked in my payouts from Topstep and Apex so I am happy that was my goal to achieve by Thursday and I did it yesterday so just palying around with 1 PA and another eval atm
perfect
seems like you nailed it this morning
What strategy do you use?
yeah that was the main trade of the day along with nq
just price action
haha such a cool answer ... wish I said that π
well i do have things like vwap and volume
but i dont need much besides my zones and reactions to them
nice and simple perfect
yes cuz in the end how many trades you won dont matter if you dont have risk management
it is not about the strategy
What is your win rate on trades, my friend?
my win rate depends on the market
sometimes it is 100% sometimes it is 50-50 but it averages to 70%
i could have a good win streak but i could also have a losing streak
thats trading
Thatβs great! You must have a strong strategy then.
you only need to win half your trades
just make sure you win more than you lose
if you are 50-50 with 1:2 you will be profitable,if you can get 1:3 to 1:5 or more then well you are set
it takes experience tho to go for bigger targets
How did you reach this level? Are there any videos you recommend watching, or anything that could help me reach your level of strategy?
years of trading and failures.95% of your work is risk managment 5% is strategy
make sure your losses are cheap so you can learn from them
it is useless if you lose all your money before you get to learn anything
well videos and youtube can sell you dreams and alot of fake ones out there. keep it simple dont overcomplicate your strategy.pick something you can follow as long it is 50-50 you will survive
many people think complex is better
it will only make you question your descion to take a trade
Yes, it creates a lot of confusion, and thatβs bad for me.
i see all those youtubers with many complicated strategies then i look at their wr and it nothing better than 50-50
i said this before but you need to survive 10k trades atleast
What do you mean by 50-50 specifically?
win rate
trading is not a sprint it is a marathon.you could get lucky with big risky trades but eventually you will fail.treat trading as a long never ending marathon
alot of people look to get rich quick but truth you need years to even try to get there
Valuable tips!
the market wont go anywhere just take your time and learn
I think social media is the reason.
What about the practical side of how you learned the strategy? Was it from LuxAlgo, or where did you learn it from?
i mean price action
i joined luxalgo for fun like a year ago or something ? the community is great here tho you can learn alot from the people here.i did learn from the people here but my strategy is something i made myself through years in the market before i joined
indicators wont make you profitable but can make your life easier
Is there no way to acquire it?
?
it is nothing special like i said
just price action
price action is something you learn and practice
combine it with volume and you can get a decent enough strategy
there are no shortcuts
you gotta learn it yourself
what works for me might not work for you
I mean, whatβs the source I should learn from to get proper education?
if you know the basics then you learn from the market
thats all
strategy is not the answer
risk managment is
your goal is not to have 100% wr
but to be profitable
dont waste your energy making and learning complicated strats
i saved you time telling you this
coch + bos +fvg + OB + FIBONACCCI ?
power hour time
thats fine if you wanna use that
you can use anything actually
just dont blow all your money on it thinking it is best strat 
What do you mean by that, my friend?
yeah
Is this what you mean by price action?
down we go π
dam gold isn't moving and will have to close it soon anyway
mmm not really but it is not completley not pa
useless material π
would love to see it at 22k for tomorrow fmoc π
ok
cashed out gold... going to watch a movie and chill out
see you guys tomorrow
for the fun π
same ima head to bed

I think the night hasnβt started yet, haha!
i think we'll see a new low on NQ
17?
17k
ha
17 Gang
HODL Gang
Guppy Gang
17k bias gang
Haha gabble gabble
Itβs not priced in.. yet
Honestly, we need some serious pullback so people can buy in January
if we get a Santa Claus rally, oh boy, we are pushing higher
Do you dare?
this was the santa rally already
naw, it was the look-out elves to make sure everything was safe and clear for Santa
what was that dump at open? some earnings or what happened there
Why do you think it will drop to 17K?
Good question, it almost filled the gap
We base all our analysis on just feelings.. the feeling is 17k... Just being sarcastic. It was looking like that could be the case a couple of weeks ago. I don't think anyone really think that now, but it's still funny and we still need more volatility to make money π
Nice little run
Copper drop
oh did you trade ths?
wow you got in early haha
two early birds you and @urban flint
who knows
oh God stopped myself out in profit by accident on my two topsteps ... looking for re entry π€¦ββοΈ ofc the APEX one with 30% profit limit is still open π
Yes why are u drawing while u have LA who has it build in. 
muhahaha back into NQ.... lets resume π
I would try this. drunk. probably.
would've been a nice catch
NQ vwap here
206 would be nice
30 points back up
was good area... see if it holds it
should crack lower
ES is just dumping
yes thinking of shorting that too lol
see how the next 30 mins go
should be a fun open
scalping a long but kinda risky
17k today finally @nocturne sigil ? π
see if ES takes back daily
can we continue now now please haha
nice reaction
ok school run... moved sl down to profit... will let it play out.... gl for the open guys π
cya on the other side
oh boy
you can feel it
2206 side would be nice lol .... tbh anywhere with some nice support or resistance for FMOC is all I want ... up or down π
ES short now... committed to the down side... SL moved to BE
just need tesla and nvidia to sell off a bit π later guys
22k is my bottom target btw
π
6080 was my target for ES
see how good my day goes
got both phones with me checking charts in the car ... too curious lol
Another flush?
Sooo
There is this chicken on youtube that is running a funded account
It passed the 100k eval and it's in profit on the funded..
grats to him
A guy had an AI and a chicken both do the eval. The AI is doing ''oke'' but the chicken is smashing it. 
Which way do we go?
up
we hope it's up
I'm sitting short on NQ now
I smell a dump
@nocturne sigil just tell me how you smell a dump ??
that looked like something else for a sec...
I can feel it in my bones
Why are we going up?
I see what you did there
get you bones check bruhh its winter get let them go freeze
π₯Άπ₯Ά
Cuz you went short
so we can use @urban flint as an indicator?
Lets see
You can clearly see we are bullish from mickys chart
@coral blaze Hello
hello
ok here's the shorts
lets see how far we go
vwap at 300.25
not a short yet until qacation goes long
gotta admit tho that was a nice V recovery
most shorts would be fked
still chopping π
thats a big red candle

Tesla pumping really hard
