national day of mourning

[surreal dust]

I think on true funded traders or one of them you can take daily payouts

https://tenor.com/view/hail-yeah-michael-groth-mandjtv-oh-yeah-clapping-gif-20544488

[agile jasper]

there is one firm but I think it's S2F and it's like $500 to get an account

is it worth it?

[surreal dust]

Not for me

I can be patient lol

[spare bloom]

well i think if you can get paid weekly thats fine too

[surreal dust]

I also saw a straight to funded account offer... but that was around $1000???? No thank you

[agile jasper]

assuming that you have no red days

[agile jasper]

yup, there's loads of them out there

[spare bloom]

they require 5 green days to get paid ?

kinda dumb tbh

[agile jasper]

5 days of $200+

non-consecutive

200 on NQ is so easy to get

[spare bloom]

easy until you lose

[agile jasper]

rinse repeat

[spare bloom]

i bought the dip on gold this morning and shorted nq i think i am fairly done for today

mondays tend to be boring

[surreal dust]

This monday was excellent 😄

everyone avoiding the US session 😂

[agile jasper]

i'll trade it

i prefer NY

[surreal dust]

dont do it

live

chop free

😅

[agile jasper]

i'm more likely to get chopped during asia/london than during NY

[spare bloom]

but ny is the mother of chop

[surreal dust]

haha it was the complete opposite last week....

[spare bloom]

it just moves faster

[surreal dust]

but it should sooth out this week I hope

was like trading crypto during US last week

[spare bloom]

crypto i bought i every dip

now enjoying the profits

[surreal dust]

nice... I loaded up on SOL and PEPE only 🙂

oh and Doge but that is in a bot

[spare bloom]

btc,sol and pepe

pepe is so good honestly

[surreal dust]

Love Pepe

[spare bloom]

it has really good moves

[surreal dust]

Yeah pretty confident on that one

[spare bloom]

btc i hodled from 92k-93k selling at 97k+ rinse and repeat

but this week is huge so anything can happen

i am reducing risk

nfp,fomc,jolts,etc

[surreal dust]

Yeah I a lot of stuff happing

[surreal dust]

very nice range

I have buying ETH since 700 usd

and I was mining it then so.... i am an ETH fanboy holding till I die 😄

[spare bloom]

i sold my eth from 700 near 4k

my mined eth is all converted to btc since 16k

[surreal dust]

Ahh yes i think I remember you saying that

You must be pleased with that !

[dapper pelican]

Wild

[spare bloom]

cuz think about it both eth and btc are fairly huge but btc is the only major dominant coin so eth falls off

people view crypto as mainly btc and some fluff

[surreal dust]

Yes I understand that view point

[spare bloom]

id rather one massive cap coin that can grow

[surreal dust]

I just want something with some usable tech …. I do hold BTC but nowhere near as much as ETH but at some point I will sell or convert

[spare bloom]

btc is just better than eth that way

[surreal dust]

Yes so much momentum with BTC and so much adoption

It is hard to argue against

[spare bloom]

sol was my main focus after those i got it since sub 20

[surreal dust]

Sol was around 50 for me for my main bag

Wish I had been more ballsy on that

Sub 20 is amazing

[spare bloom]

yes i sold at 200 a while ago for my 10x still hodling some of it then ia veraged up at 100 now my average is around 70

[surreal dust]

Amazing

Do you ever trade / inverse trade it ? Or just spot

[spare bloom]

i used to do crypto futures but now i simply dont have time for that i mainly focus on nq and gold for that and crypto is just hodling

it feels better that way

[surreal dust]

Yes I agree it does feel better that way

I’m looking for big dips and then I inverse trade ETH / SOL / ADA

Using 10% of my spot

Then I come out and wait again

Quite profitable

[spare bloom]

every single month there is usually one day with massive crash

thats the day i buy

people panic sell

ofc it is not a gaurnteed thing you manage risk

the hardest thing is enduring the drawdown

hahaha

it sounds easy but few people can hodl long

most people paperhand

[surreal dust]

Yes PAYtience 😄

but 100% worth waiting for that pullback

just set the levels and wait and usually you get an entry

[spare bloom]

some people even if they see it they dont get in they panic and get scared it is not easy buying a falling knife

everyone is different

nq new highs

[long crater]

gold silver nice volatility, has some figures been released or something

[spare bloom]

just previous week range

hit the bottom of the range and it is going for the high of the range now

imo it is slow not volatile at all

just sideways

very good long if you took it

strong push atm tho

[fair socket]

realised I placed a NQ long on practice and not my express 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂

[agile jasper]

amateur

[novel thunder]

News might mean chop

[agile jasper]

22k incoming

[urban flint]

17k

[spare bloom]

i am done for now closed my system

You booked the short @urban flint ?

[granite parrot]

Services PMI was under consensus

[urban flint]

I did!

[spare bloom]

ok good

[urban flint]

Still waiting however.

[spare bloom]

yeah not a good idea to trade now before news

[granite parrot]

100% agree

[urban flint]

Imo it will retrace, it is just a matter of when. maybe in 5? 🙂

Not going to front run that though.

[granite parrot]

I’m eyeing a few 598 puts attm

15min looks strung out and a dip looks to be coming

[surreal dust]

low impact news.... we want the pure white stuff to trade on 😄

[turbid oriole]

My first NQ1, long🔥🔥

[surreal dust]

just be careful in this area haha

[surreal dust]

Mickys streaming LIVE! https://discord.com/channels/641770286638694402/1178430832151638077

[surreal dust]

Ha I had my last eval open on apex waiting for that.... missed it as I was too engaged with my PS5 🫠

[spare bloom]

i litrally had alerts setup waiting for that dip

[surreal dust]

I only have evals left for the day... I am locked out so I am too chill now 😄

looking for a short up here tho tbh

[spare bloom]

yeah i am eating dinner and watching youtube atm..

got chat on the side to read

[surreal dust]

maybe 900-930 ish... see how the market goes

dont think I can be bothered to trade anymore today .... feeling lazy 😄

[spare bloom]

there is always tomorrow

[urban flint]

Just not the way I trade. It simply did not fit my rules.

[spare bloom]

good my indicator is working as intended

since it didnt fit your rules the long was awesome

[urban flint]

Okey 🙂

[agile jasper]

200 contracts fill at 885

[surreal dust]

oouufff

too strong

and selective tariff news coming out too

so would prefer the long on a retest of lower

not feeling the shorts today

[spare bloom]

what is a tariff ? some taxes?

[urban flint]

I agree. I am eyeing the reaction on at 21816

[urban flint]

Duty paid by an importer into the specific country based on the HTS code and tariff associated with it.

[spare bloom]

so just taxes on goods?

people gotta find some fancy words for tax

[urban flint]

Hehe, well there's more than one tax (read unfortunatly).

[surreal dust]

Trump import tariffs

apparently

[quiet turret]

If anyone feel like shorting YM would be good option for quick scalp.

[urban flint]

80% of US trade is with the USMCA trade region. It also qualifies for that same trade agreements if it fits those criteria. Add 25% and companies tank.

[surreal dust]

only saw the headline didn't read the article just fyi

[quiet turret]

NQ is too strong at this time to short.

[spare bloom]

is he cutting or hiking the tariff

[urban flint]

Hiking

[spare bloom]

25% is alot

[urban flint]

Last time he did 25-10% on china.

Now hes basically talking about bans, and also mexico and canada

[spare bloom]

with that i 100% agree

[surreal dust]

that looks good

[spare bloom]

companies import cheap shit from china and sell it to consumers multiples of that price

even dropshippers abuse that

they all dropship from china

[surreal dust]

YM looks really good actually haha

[urban flint]

Yeah, I would not short that.

[surreal dust]

I need to go do post op knee rehab anyway ... been putting it off all day.... ! So might as well do it while I can't trade 🫠

[spare bloom]

how do you knee rehab?

[urban flint]

well, depends. what makes you think china will not lower their prices to offset or the company carrying on that cost to consumers?

[surreal dust]

I have a list of exercises to do from the physio

all printed out so I can't say I didn't understand

even got pretty pictures

😂

[spare bloom]

china doesnt care i think? tariff is on the company imports or anything related from that country right ? china will just raise the price ot offset the import cost but if it is the US companies importing from there then well goods will become more expensive

[urban flint]

I think they do as they want to sell their goods. Would be pretty clever to lower the price so it still can be exported to places like US. Everything in the US will however become more expensive which I'm not a fan of.

[surreal dust]

They will just sell more to the UK.... think us and Japan are the only countries that haven't put tariffs on them ... especially on the cars

😄

[spare bloom]

they will not lower their prices that wouldnt make any sese

[urban flint]

The duty % is multiplied by the value

[spare bloom]

china prices are already mega cheap

[urban flint]

Yup

[surreal dust]

China didn't change much last time they had to deal with the tariffs they just attempted to slap more taxes on companies in China

should be a fun year 😄

[spare bloom]

i want the tariff on the companies importing

since those motherfkers are abusing the cheap prices from china

and sell to consumers at high price

now they get to lower which is better

[urban flint]

I agree with creating US jobs and manufacture locally, but dissagree with paying 100k for a ford escape

[spare bloom]

no joke i even seen people dropship a chinese product 40x the product price on some shops i saw online

insane

[urban flint]

Simple math, also full disclosure I have 20 years of experiance in the field we are talking about 🙂

[spare bloom]

bro 70 years old

[urban flint]

Haha not really (yet)

[spare bloom]

you work on imports?

[urban flint]

Most of my work has been in Foreign Trade EU and US.

[spare bloom]

good was the durable goods news good or bad

since you are the expert here

[urban flint]

Haha, I'm not an expert. Sorry if it came of that way. I have however spent the last 20 years on analysing duty

[spare bloom]

i was just genuinely asking

my working field is completely unrelated to the markets

so would be interesting if you had something to do with ti

[urban flint]

I don't work for the government, so I only look at data for specific companies, not the overall reports, but I can tell you how it's looking like for general industries.

There's defiantly a trade deficit, in other words we import more than we make in U.S.

[spare bloom]

isnt that the norm tho ?

[urban flint]

It's always been that way, since the markets became global

Hard to change, but there's laws preventing some of it, like anti dumping.

Trump is America first agenda, so importing will become less and he has said to close that trade deficit

Bring back the jobs to US, so that is in general good for the market together with less regulations and resitriction

[spare bloom]

he is optimistic i guess

[urban flint]

On the other hand in a lot of areas there's no alternative suppliers for what is imported from China.

It will take years to establish those businesses here and if you add workers, the goods will be expensive and the price of the item will be tripple hurting the consumer. Less buying power less growth

[spare bloom]

there are no altrenatives or not enough to cover their needs. taiwan is such a power house for semiconductors it controls 70% of the entire world supply

china wants it so badly

[urban flint]

100% right about that

So I guess if China demands to mark the TW goods CN (which they just did).. then yeah, all component with a chip in it (which is everything) shipped to US will be 25% more to buy. I need 25% more in Salary from trade 🙂

Anyway, you were right on chop after news from what it seems 🙂

[urban flint]

NQ is still pretty undecided.

Still looks to be trying the upside

[sturdy wharf]

Canada Prime Minister out who will be the party that takes his place?

[urban flint]

Good question 🙂

[urban flint]

Here's the vWap test on NQ

[nocturne sigil]

[granite parrot]

[urban flint]

[granite parrot]

Looks good to me 👍🏼

[nocturne sigil]

[devout trench]

Do you think NQ will touch Monday high ?

[nocturne sigil]

someone has to touch it

[urban flint]

Thats what she said

Also, 4H looks pretty bear with a potential top. Not sure, but I would not try long yet unless min trades

[granite parrot]

I’m thinking we got a bounce up coming now $spy

Just watching attm tho

[nocturne sigil]

oh my

🤔

[granite parrot]

If the bulls can’t get a higher high then the double bottom will fail

[nocturne sigil]

and then 17?

[granite parrot]

It’s possible I guess lol

[granite parrot]

Well I was wrong lol

[surreal dust]

[urban flint]

[surreal dust]

Haha all the good assets then 😄

[surreal dust]

i really want it to dump before the news event tomorrow

[granite parrot]

Lol yep

[urban flint]

I am still in the we're not out of the woods yet category

[granite parrot]

I think tomorrow is setup for a red day especially if everything pumps into the close

[surreal dust]

Will be an interesting day for sure

should be a good week really for trading

3 high impact news events

lots of volatility

[urban flint]

True. I'm not sure yet where we are heading, just following trend, but this is what I thought.

[surreal dust]

Well if anyone can tank the market its Powell 🙂

[urban flint]

Haha

[surreal dust]

1st news up..... 2nd news (powell) down... 3rd.. back up 😄

🤷‍♂️

[urban flint]

I think we're in for a shaky year, so I'm excited

[surreal dust]

or 2 down and 1 up 😄

[urban flint]

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/bruce-less-diamond-hands-hoge-gif-20770777

My friend just bought a BYD Seal .... 530 HP for around 42k (pounds)

[urban flint]

[quiet turret]

Good profitable day.

[quiet turret]

Yes I remembered. Mine too.

[granite parrot]

Can’t stand that guy

[surreal dust]

he is much loved 😄

[granite parrot]

Sounds good to me man

[surreal dust]

At least the US has a plan... UK is in a freefall going to be a sh*** year for us 😄

just like the last 10 years 😄

[granite parrot]

I feel like we’re on the verge of a freefall tbh

Lol

[surreal dust]

I mean someone always has it worse ... right? 😂

[granite parrot]

All our government does is print more money to solve it’s problems nowadays

[surreal dust]

We have no money we just cut everything until it breaks and then change PM's every year 😂

I have lost count.... think we are on number 5 ? in 5 years

is it that many I have lost track 😂

Yes its 5

lol

[granite parrot]

That’s crazy

[surreal dust]

Ok 5 in 6 years....

I was nearly right

[granite parrot]

Still crazy lol

[surreal dust]

it is a shit show honestly

[granite parrot]

I’m sure you hear about all our problems when it comes to leadership as well lol

[long crater]

current one be gone soon hopefully in all, we're a bit of a laughing stock at moment ha

[granite parrot]

I’m just glad Biden is about to be out.

[surreal dust]

so bad... honestly the blind leading the blind... we are going to end up with Farage in a protest vote lol

[granite parrot]

He’s not well health wise

Crypto is the future currency I believe and our new administration is crypto friendly thank god

[surreal dust]

yeah I follow.... but you have solutions... we have problem after problem doesn't seem like any solutions

[surreal dust]

Yes anyone in crypto should be thanking their lucky stars there is a US regime change

Biden's group tried so hard to bury and slow down crypto

[granite parrot]

That they did

[urban flint]

The consumer will always control the market. You find ways to afford what you don’t have or can’t soon have 🙂

[strange orbit]

really does not like 769 😅

[raw gate]

nq vs jolts.. which side it drags ?

[surreal dust]

will find out soon

[agile jasper]

either 22k or we fill yesterday's gap

[fair socket]

another little scalp

[sturdy wharf]

Danny, back in futures, what happened while I was gone....

[fair socket]

yeah ahah nearly 5 funded accounts now

[sturdy wharf]

you legend

[fair socket]

im doing it slow and steady, taking like 200-400 profit a day

on 5 micros lol

whilst im still learning futures compared to FX

[sturdy wharf]

200-400$ a day is 50k-100k a year so dont act like thats little profit.

you're killing it

[fair socket]

isnt everyday though, averaging like 2k a month though profit atm on 5 micros so i cant complain at all for the additional income

[sturdy wharf]

ah I see, still man keep going

I never got into the multiple accounts, it freaks me out trying to manage that, maybe ill do it again sometime but something about having one makes me feel more locked in.

[fair socket]

well ive just been slowly doing 4 other challenges whilst linked to my express but i think its okay as long as i can manage 1 account i can manage 5 as its the same really. Thats how i see it

[sturdy wharf]

very true! well good luck.

[fair socket]

Thanks man, good to have you back

ill learn the ichi eventually

[sturdy wharf]

Thanks, one of my favorite parts about Lux Algo was the community, wouldn't be where I am without you guys. If you ever want to learn Ichi I have so many notes I can send you and talk to you about lmao

[granite parrot]

Morning guys!

[fair socket]

Yeah the community is great, I wish I was part of the community when i first started trading ngl and oh really? that would be good. Give me some homework to do in the evenings ha!

[fair socket]

Morning! 👋🏻

[granite parrot]

Looks like I’ll be holding off on trading until the Jolts report comes out at 10am et

[sturdy wharf]

Huge opening gap on Natural Gas still, if it breaks the overnight low we might head lower.

[timid gull]

If you check the time i posted this buy trade for Xauusd with $600 profit and check the market price now 😂
Up $26k gold is buying massive

[agile jasper]

GC also flying

[sturdy wharf]

yeah idk if its too late or not I need a pullback to consider getting in because it seemse nonstop

[urban flint]

Market looks strong this morning

[granite parrot]

If the Jolts data comes in positive then I’d expect a good move up overall for the market

[urban flint]

All the data looks good, but yeah, it’s right at breakout to the upside on daily. Dollar lower, yields down

[surreal dust]

looks like a good setup so far

[urban flint]

Could be a bit of a rally which lines up with the beginning of this year new money coming in

[surreal dust]

yes just wondering fi we wick hard down first and then up

who knows we will see

[urban flint]

I hope so

[surreal dust]

I mean vwap down

[urban flint]

I have a long down below

[surreal dust]

yeah I got a few lined up at different leels too

[agile jasper]

goood dump to start the day with

[glossy sonnet]

[urban flint]

Not a bad entry at that inverse fvg

[snow rune]

My double confirmation setup second TP 2667🚀

[spare bloom]

100 point down then 100 points up hahah

insane u turn

Good longs so far

[agile jasper]

😂

JOLTS in 7 minutes

[spare bloom]

I did short 780 to 750

30 points then got out

[agile jasper]

do we fill the gap at 500 from Sunday open?

[frank locust]

and, about ~100 back down....haha

[agile jasper]

NVDA down heavy

40 points teleport

[spare bloom]

Nvda pumped hard cuz of the new news then i guess people cashed

Gpus*

[urban flint]

Interesting moves. Glad I moved SL 👀

[spare bloom]

Glad i shorted 780 hahaha

[glossy sonnet]

Elliott wave comes in handy

Correction done now I expect a buy

[granite parrot]

Can’t beat a cheap 100% lotto just before Jolts lol

[urban flint]

Hehe

That was a pretty clear break right there in 4H and a LH confirmed. Hm

[spare bloom]

yes your long confirmed it

[granite parrot]

Yup, I was liking the downside just before the data came out. I could’ve made more but profit is better than a loss

[urban flint]

Bully

[spare bloom]

jokes aside it is looking bearish

gonna sit and watch atm

[granite parrot]

Same here

Lot of support between 591-592 on SPY, it’ll be tough to push through that level.

[spare bloom]

Yeah i longed 560

Got out now

quick scalp

it is still bearish

[agile jasper]

gap closed

[spare bloom]

542 long

on be now

🔥

Done for the day

[nocturne sigil]

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

[surreal dust]

now I am done too

couldn't find an entry lol

[urban flint]

Looks like a good red day ❤️

[surreal dust]

lost 4 new apex accounts tho..... full disclaimer 🙂 went long initially and levered in orders.... so not all roses today

[surreal dust]

mixed for me but such is life 🙂

too agressive on batch trading on apex 😄

[urban flint]

I took a long at open 1k close and a short after the break 1k

[agile jasper]

happens

you will get them back

[surreal dust]

Will do my best

!

trying to get one now lol

[urban flint]

I’m out. Let’s see what 3pm brings

[surreal dust]

not convinced of that level tho... there is mopen tho at 21,250

[spare bloom]

Nice squeeze

pushed 100 points

[barren peak]

Made a nice profit this morning on a SPY put, and just made a few more bucks just now on a SPX put.

Not sure what are the best inputs to set for trading SPY and SPX. but I do like the screener. It tells me if it's a bullish or bearish market. But all the candles are below VWAP and I've been told not to buy calls when the candles are below.

[spare bloom]

nvda tanked hard today

8.5% drop

[agile jasper]

it sure did

[spare bloom]

it did new ath then crashed

[barren peak]

Bad news or what?

[spare bloom]

nvda is a monster man if you bought before xmas you would have cashed 20% today

[spare bloom]

good news people just cashed in as always after the pump

who wouldnt cash a 20% pump

[nocturne sigil]

Ohhhh
salmon color
I likeyyyyy

[surreal dust]

LOL 500 usd from passing 9k profit target on new eval

and I reset the eval (did the wrong one)

back to scratch

having a really good day on Apex 😂

https://tenor.com/view/i-just-like-competing-at-a-high-level-decemate-jacob-cato-la-guerillas-competitive-gif-18490968

[nocturne sigil]

So congrats? I guess? Or no?

[surreal dust]

I have no comment for this 😂

[nocturne sigil]

Hahaha
All good

[surreal dust]

though i'd share todays misery .... since I share so much joy normally 😄

[nocturne sigil]

Still cool
Can’t win all the time

Tomorrow another day

[agile jasper]

at least you made a bank on topstep

[surreal dust]

half a victory doesn't feel like a win

but you are right

just annoyed as I shouldn't have been so agressive with those accounts but they did only cost me $16 each... but not the point !

Good to be humbled every now and again 🙂

[urban flint]

This is a @nocturne sigil move on NQ

[surreal dust]

215 please

need to pass the same account for the 2nd time today

😅

good chance it bounces here

might not get it passed today:/

[nocturne sigil]

I dont even have to open my charts, to know what your post means

Right at the open

With my Double Neo-Cloud strategy, I can use the "ALERT-SCRIPTING" for all bearish potential short entries for today on the 5m NQ

[surreal dust]

ohh I might get my 215 qafter all 😄

[surreal dust]

I want this 😄

[agile jasper]

Power hour

[surreal dust]

sell more

I need more 😄

[urban flint]

Easy money when it’s like this. Just rinse and repeat

[quiet turret]

What is the setting for candle colors?

[rotund sierra]

Buying long in USDJPY. It just entered demand zone and it will probably skyrocket.

[urban flint]

I just follow the trend until it hits my trailing SL then I repress lol

[surreal dust]

meh moved my stop down

[surreal dust]

yup just sent mine down after that bounce

stopped

take my profit and run until tomorrow

[urban flint]

Your MA strategy probably is excellent for this market 🙂

I’m done. Too close to close of market.

Good day

[surreal dust]

Hah best lesson of the day... if you reset an active eval with trades open... it does indeed get reset

😂

[urban flint]

Haha, that is probably so true. Honestly most of us over trade. Some of my best days are trade at open and hold

[nocturne sigil]

auto pilot long term

[quiet turret]

Quick EOD scalp and I am done. Keep the profits and tomorrow is another day.

[quiet turret]

Thank you Boss!

[agile jasper]

17k tomorrow?

[neon ether]

i was wondering why is not working for me, then just saw right now your comment for bearish:
{neo_lead} crossunder {neo_lag} and {external1} < {external2}

is there a way to have one alert for bullish and bearish like:
//bullish
{neo_lead} crossover {neo_lag} and {external1} > {external2}
or
//bearish
{neo_lead} crossunder {neo_lag} and {external1} < {external2}

somehow didnt work!!!

[surreal dust]

Right time for netflix and chill with the vwap 😉 see you all tomorrow

[nocturne sigil]

did you add a second SO's?
Classify the external 1 and 2 for the Neo lag/leads?
i go through this in today live stream

Todays news

[zenith narwhal]

200$ to go for another eval. Getting that bread today.

[fair socket]

little trade

[fair socket]

nice dump on NQ

[reef sluice]

is there any news right now?

this volume is crazy

[fair socket]

There was non scheduled. The next USA news is at 1:15pm (uk time) - ADP non farm employment

[surreal dust]

Nicce

[fair socket]

lovely stuff as always!

Everytime i see your damn posts, it makes me feel like a wimp LOL

with my micro lots

I just know the first time i go for bigger contracts, ill get rekt and it'll take like 5 of my winning trades profits out

[surreal dust]

I think you have the right idea tbh

slow and steady ... and increase slowly when you are ready

no rush !

[agile jasper]

just a few more backup accounts passed

[fair socket]

LOL

[surreal dust]

I am surprised you arent' banned

😂

[agile jasper]

nothing's wrong with it

[fair socket]

why 50k accounts?

[agile jasper]

the cheapest

[fair socket]

cost is nothing with the profits you make though

[agile jasper]

yeah true

but if i get 150k account i am still capped at 5k payouts per account

[fair socket]

true but you've got more room to play (DD) wise

[agile jasper]

best value 50k's

[fair socket]

i need 1.2k more for these other 4

[agile jasper]

easy pass

[fair socket]

But think ima do FX in Feb

i miss my AJ

[surreal dust]

I thought there was a limit of 5?

Or you can only have 5 through xfa

[agile jasper]

5 XFA but unlimited combines

[fair socket]

limit of 5 express

[surreal dust]

do you have to buy the renewal for the passed combines? or they just sit there for free after you pass?

[fair socket]

if i had that many combines stacked, id be tempted to try a suicide mission on 5 XFA and go full port on a trade

[agile jasper]

they sit on the bench until they have an XFA slot available

no monthly fees

[surreal dust]

ohhhh

ok

[agile jasper]

i think i have about 20 on the bench

[surreal dust]

that is interesting

I can see the 50k logical for that

[agile jasper]

2k DD on 50k, 3k target.
3k DD on 100k, 6k target
4.5k DD on 150k, 9k target

best value is the 50k

you will know pretty fast you're on the wrong side of the trade with NQ

[fair socket]

You'll be getting switched to LIVE soon

😂

[topaz violet]

Good morning does anyone have discount codes for Apex ?

[surreal dust]

haha i guess so

[surreal dust]

yes they wont like that haha

[fair socket]

thats just his passed combines, maybe his profits are worthy of LIVE Not like my mini profits. Not trading for rest of day now my hand and knee is killing me today

[snow rune]

Market still in ranging mode🥴

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

[urban flint]

Morning

[agile jasper]

big numbers in about 4 mins

[rotund sierra]

Should I sell long or short?

[urban flint]

GC looks done with consolidation and primed for upside. Vix spiking up and bond market continuing down. dollar is on the rise. not looking to good for stocks.

[agile jasper]

bring NQ to 21k then?

[urban flint]

Honestly a close below 21180 on 4h would really mean we are heading down lower (again just my opinion on what I'm seeing on the charts right now). If it hold, we could also see a test of the high.. Interesting area again. Right now we got a solid wick down into golden fib zone. which is good for bulls

[agile jasper]

news in a minute again

[urban flint]

Here we go again lol

I guess the numbers that came out was not enough people unemployed 🙂

[snow rune]

Finally single confirmation setup active TP.1 2663

[urban flint]

One day man.. One day

[sturdy wharf]

50 tick long and a quick 2 tick loss on an attempted short that I didnt like so overall 48 ticks Gold moving before NY Open

[snow rune]

Finally TP done🚀👍

[urban flint]

Yeah GC looks primed

Incoming squeeze to upside. BB bands tight.

[agile jasper]

NQ needs to dump here

[urban flint]

I had a short at top and closed at 800 profit

Don’t love the 4H candle

I have seen when it looks like this a lot and it goes up first then continuation

[vestal minnow]

any signals for stocks ?

[sturdy wharf]

Look at this beautiful N wave with a Price Theory Target at D, the ChoCh+ used as confirmation, Chikou Span Above previous price action and bullish Kumo to boot. Beautiful.

[spare bloom]

very volatile

nq is going up and down so fast hahah

[sturdy wharf]

gross range until FOMC?

[agile jasper]

its just minutes

nothing important

clipboard meeting

[sturdy wharf]

ah gotcha gotcha

[spare bloom]

So much fun

I scalped both long and short like 5 times hahahah

i like fast action

quick in and out

🔥

Fun fun

longs and shorts in seconds hahah

You guys having fun too ?

[frank locust]

scalpapalooza!!

[spare bloom]

Insane action

Shorted 370

done for today

[sturdy wharf]

I really wanted it to break that 288 level HARD

[robust grove]

GM

[agile jasper]

gave a good green day away

[sturdy wharf]

I went from up 1500 to up 500 to now up 1800 so I get it I almost gave away my green day too lmao

[agile jasper]

right direction but bad entry

[sturdy wharf]

Same but I got back in

It broke the low then reversed 20 points it broke the low set on that candle and dropped 45 points lmao

[snow rune]

Maybe Single confirmation setup continue and second TP 2678

[spare bloom]

Crazy price action

it is back and forth

[quiet turret]

Waiting for the FOMC minutes. Maybe late day action.

[spare bloom]

i am relaxing just dinner and chill

you guys take care

[rotund sierra]

Does this look right?

[dark lark]

teach us your ways master

[urban flint]

done, up about 700 + 1400 between two accounts. Good moves today.

side note, maket looks bear

[agile jasper]

market looks bearish yes

[urban flint]

Tested high now break?

Could get nasty if it start breaking

[agile jasper]

i think we're breaking lower

[urban flint]

All the analysis I did this morning suggests a test of low at least

21k would be logical

[agile jasper]

dont think we get 21k today

[sturdy wharf]

50 points erased lol

[urban flint]

17k right?

[agile jasper]

ok 21k is in play

[urban flint]

Key area now

[agile jasper]

we have nothing on the way there

[urban flint]

Yep, it will move quick if break

[agile jasper]

broke already

[urban flint]

Took another short

And stopped

[surreal dust]

picked a bad afternoon for a nap

[urban flint]

Haha

You can wake up now. We are hitting a good area to short

Got my eyes on 21330

[agile jasper]

vshape recovery

[surreal dust]

Sleepy scalp

I dont sleep much at night atm.... stupid knee

who needs them anyway :d

[quiet turret]

Today good to trade 1 Min chart

[surreal dust]

had a good day?

go away vwap

[quiet turret]

Yes, Good day so far.

Hoping for some FOMC volatility

[surreal dust]

I was having bad dreams about a choppy market during my sleep... I might be a psychic 😄

[surreal dust]

can we just gag Powell 😄

[quiet turret]

You even trade in dreams

[surreal dust]

not willingly 😂 felt like torture

[quiet turret]

You are a true trader!

[surreal dust]

haha

[spare bloom]

idk the volatillity today was already insane

it is moving hundred of points up and down

[surreal dust]

was dreaming @spare bloom was counter trading and taking all my lunch money 😄

[surreal dust]

you dont know???

you dont believe in the power of Powell

disappointing 😄

[quiet turret]

Need to get out of the range and pick a direction

[spare bloom]

he is not talking tho

just fomc minutes i heard

[surreal dust]

doesn't he speak at the minutes?

[spare bloom]

i mean sure will see

[surreal dust]

I thought that is his favourite time to run his mouth

😅

[spare bloom]

market closes in 3 hours or 2?

[formal glade]

battling

[agile jasper]

markets close as usual

[surreal dust]

normal today

[quiet turret]

2.75

[agile jasper]

no NY session tomorrow

[formal glade]

BTC 1hr need to sweap the previous candle high to continue pump another candle

[surreal dust]

@spare bloom will short it

[formal glade]

but for scalpers who got that wick.... should be closed already

[spare bloom]

nah i am long on crypto i bought the dip

[formal glade]

best scalping is always 5ema deviation zone back to 5ema

[surreal dust]

always counter trading me 😄

[spare bloom]

i told you i wait for these dips every month you are counter trading me hahaha

[formal glade]

USDT.D is looking ugly for LONG lovers

[surreal dust]

haha I didn't do either today to be honest.... was napping so missed the entries on crypto

[spare bloom]

i bought 92.5k on btc

[surreal dust]

very nice

[formal glade]

i am scalping XRP ....

[spare bloom]

well my bot did i set the alerts and he dca on his own

[formal glade]

you program your own trigger bot or you use another platform?

[spare bloom]

i code my own bots

[formal glade]

i am stuck with HTX so i have to code my own

[surreal dust]

yes please sir... thank you 😄

5% commission

[formal glade]

but for somereason i don't use it much anymore

[spare bloom]

never use leverage on a bot. you dont have peace of mind and always have to micro manage

might as well trade on my own

i let the bot do the low risk stuff

[formal glade]

unless cross 1x

[spare bloom]

and i handle the big risk trades

[formal glade]

i am only trading prepetual future

[urban flint]

Yeah. Stopped out

[surreal dust]

2/3x leverage? Or none at all

[formal glade]

but risk management shouldnt be a problem as long as understanding how to consider leverage bar as "tool" instead of gambling

[spare bloom]

none but i put big size on my bots

[surreal dust]

Makes sense.... wish I could do bots i lack the knowledge

[formal glade]

first of all you have to be a good manual trader in order to handle bots

if you don't understand the basic principle of trade... bot will kill you at some point

for example.... Identitify the no-trade-zone is a must

[surreal dust]

The trade is fine... its how do I get that into a bot 😅

[formal glade]

if you can program php and you understand exchanges API you may at least have something to play with

[spare bloom]

bots are hard to code and manage .it takes countless hours and backtesting and forward testing

[formal glade]

but not all exchanges allows API trade

[quiet turret]

I can help you create bots

[surreal dust]

I fail on all those fronts lol

[formal glade]

make your own trigger bot first that handles firing trade

[spare bloom]

you can just make a simple webhook based bot

[formal glade]

then from there you can program for many many tools base on that simple thing

[surreal dust]

Can i use chat gbt to do that? I am so out of my depth

[formal glade]

one of the best thing i made was a trigger bot that take previous candle's high low and plan for a martingale long limit order based on that candle's fib level extended to fib 3.0

[spare bloom]

you can but you will pull your hair out from the fixing the bugs

[formal glade]

with a timeout

[spare bloom]

cuz chat gpt is stupid

[quiet turret]

Bots trading on 1 min chart

[formal glade]

it is unless you know what to ask

[surreal dust]

this one is yours?

[quiet turret]

Yes

[surreal dust]

killed my only hope ... so cruel

[formal glade]

i learned most basic pinescript v5 from chatgpt

[spare bloom]

ik pinescript i make my own indicators as well

i do use chatgpt to help speed things up so i know the experience

[agile jasper]

one to remember #✨community-guide

[surreal dust]

that looked extremely profitable today lol

[spare bloom]

but if you dont know basic pinescript it will suck

[formal glade]

this is my own EMA indicator with a few extra stuff i wanted but no one provides

basically calculated a reference of deviation baseline

so one candle moves out of the baseline... then i may consider counter trade

such as building shorts / longs from juicy level

[quiet turret]

OK. Sorry about that.

[formal glade]

and this.... easy fib levels....

[surreal dust]

dont think it is going to take that high today

[surreal dust]

how long did it take you to build?

[spare bloom]

it doesnt take long to make such indicators if you know how to code

[formal glade]

actually couple weeks

cuz i was having new ideas during the coding

and testing it back n forth

[spare bloom]

testing take the most time

not the coding

[formal glade]

my goal is to make the one that i wanna use the most of the time and i can tell what i am doing with the chart

and i did steal a few idea from Trader's Reality indicator

[spare bloom]

if it is open source it is free real estate

[formal glade]

especially i separated two group of ema bands

5 10 20 one group

40 50 60 one group

and see how price action reacts

[spare bloom]

i recently made an indicator that does all the drawing i would normally do every single day..saved me alot of time and i can automate alerts for it now.it was really hard and pain in the butt to get it right but now i am enjoying it

[surreal dust]

Yes I bet that is a massive help

[formal glade]

so basically from making this indicator i learned some fun fact of how price action reacting on moving average

it was weird to me until i learned the business of exchange why they have an algo to mark price up/down

these low volume candles moving to the downside basically just hug ema5 and deviate a bit back n forth

until a dead flat and boom... a green vector candle mark it up to shift algo to start price up

technical trading suddenly becoming a fun thing to me

[spare bloom]

if it helps you thats great

[formal glade]

it does

but i don't know why i still feel crypto market is slow

it will take hours n hours to see a big move (comparing to low volume dead algo move)

crypto always does this

got low volatillity then high voaltillity periods

we had a month of xmas and holidays so the markets were just chilling

today i could say we got more volatile

[formal glade]

california wild fire is one big thing

[spare bloom]

but yeah thats why i have a bot handle that shit i cba looking at those all day

it is better to do cme futures if you want fast action

like nq or gc

[formal glade]

but i have no access of it

so it is what it is for me

and another experiment is this thing.... a fixed length of ema across different key time frames

and default value is 5

but must use it in lower time frame like 1m or 5m

so sometimes like today once a big dump happened... you see the deviation gap between the price and 5ema from different time frame

as what i discovered it tented to recover the 5ema point after a quick volatile deviation move

at least 1hr is somewhat guaranteed to be recovered later
