[spare bloom]

it takes alot of experience to be good at it

[quiet turret]

So we need to practice

[spare bloom]

yeah

i have been using it for years

if you know how to use it your dont another indicator on the chart

just price action is enough

[nocturne sigil]

Forget vwap, what about SO's?

[quiet turret]

We can ask Micky and maybe you can take a class one day.

[quiet turret]

Micky what do you use for SL?

[spare bloom]

gold is mooning

[nocturne sigil]

depends, if scalping, ill use the opposite trigger of something on my chart
if swing, ill use structure highs/lows for my TP/Sl's

[hushed tree]

@nocturne sigil what time are you looking at

[nocturne sigil]

I will look at 4H as bias for swings and scalps

[quiet turret]

Is there a option in a toolkit for highs/lows SL?

[nocturne sigil]

Here is 4H NQ
Then Ill go to lower TF and scalp in that direction @hushed tree

[hushed tree]

Thanks!

[copper tiger]

Both of those shorts woulda been golden

[sturdy wharf]

up 445 in the Uber on the way to the airport 🍾

couldn’t help myself

[quiet turret]

Free ride

[sturdy wharf]

free flight lmao

[quiet turret]

Great

[sturdy wharf]

NQ short paid out only 1 contract was trying to take it easy

[zinc ferry]

90 point 15m wicks. wow

[surreal dust]

awful since open

keep waiting can't find much that I like atm 😄

[patent canyon]

Guys, where do u find new shit-coins?

[zenith narwhal]

Rookie question fo the day

how does one set TP/SL on TopstepX.

in Tradingview with Tradovate it looked more obvious. Same for NT. TopstepX i dont see it

[quiet turret]

I think we will be sideways to little lower today and tomorrow.

[zenith narwhal]

right mouseclick on the chart ''stop-sell'' ?

I'd imagine with the Limit setup u can give a TP/SL immidiatly

[agile jasper]

click on the position and drag it up/down

[zenith narwhal]

in TopstepX?

[agile jasper]

yes

[zenith narwhal]

I aint seeing no drag tp/sl sadly

I can do rightclick on the TopstepX chart and select ''market sell'' that's the same, but I was wondering if I can give these values while setting up the position.

or im blind

[agile jasper]

oh, you can only do it on the open orders

[zenith narwhal]

ah

[surreal dust]

you need to go to settings

[zenith narwhal]

yes in settings

[surreal dust]

adn then risk settings

and it will auto put the SL and TP for you

and you can adjust it manually later

[zenith narwhal]

sick!

ty

[urban flint]

Not a bad look

Failed LH, Liq grabs, support, volume. Choch, discount, mf is that enough? 🙂

[surreal dust]

not even watching anymore... jus thave alerts set for a breakout

[urban flint]

Yeah, still consolidating, probably a good call

[sturdy wharf]

for the flight ✈️ first class seats and a trading book 😂

[nocturne sigil]

Nice bearish moves

[surreal dust]

wind the vwap

[sturdy wharf]

Wind do be the VWAP

[urban flint]

Looks like volume completely died and so did NQ

[surreal dust]

fianlly

God

had to wait hours for something

apple has killed the NQ today

nice flip again

didn't make it down there

[quiet turret]

Beautiful! Patience pays off.

[nocturne sigil]

where you going?

[fair socket]

what a great book, one of my fave!

[zinc ferry]

Glad you got something today

[urban flint]

Took another long on Nq

[surreal dust]

wick

[nocturne sigil]

Is it just all NQ here?
No love for anything else?

🤷‍♂️

[surreal dust]

we like being abused

[nocturne sigil]

you love pain

isnt there a word for that?

[agile jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-spank-ouch-pain-cry-gif-16173937

[agile jasper]

yup

[urban flint]

Oh well, done for today I guess until it stops just stopping me out

Seems undecided, which is the worst time to trade

[surreal dust]

feel you there... just sat watching and cursing it

going to go do some rehab instead soon

less painful 😅

wish it would just dump and get on with it

[urban flint]

Yeah, it’s a a slow day. Price saying one thing indicators not exactly helping tell the story

Not going to get many moves when ranging. The 1h mf is basically to far away from any moves and threshold

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/mrgeekyle-sunset-calm-gif-11935515

[urban flint]

Good way of describing current state

[glossy sonnet]

@grand galleon

Before n after plus a recent one

What a hard day to scalp 🤧

Couple wins couple of losses

[surreal dust]

ofc now it drops when everyone has left

😅

[agile jasper]

classic nq

here's the dump we all waited for

[urban flint]

Haha, I took it 2k

Really did not want to short today, but then the selling just continued

Took a while

The crazy thing is that we’re back under 50MA on daily. That’s no good, but doubt that stats that way

21K and LH and send it to 30k okey

[surreal dust]

oh gj!

I switched off

hit my target as well

such is life

[uncut tusk]

/BTCF25 the answers are there

[nocturne sigil]

Anyone looking in this power hour?

👀

[zinc ferry]

BULLS going to crap in to the close again?

Nothing like sa good "play dead" by the BULLS

50 point give back in 9 minutes. WOW!

STILL going! Achilles are you in this?

Absolutely sloppy price action in to the close! Clearly BULLS have already gone home for the weekend! BEARs taking over and driving prices down! Hitting session low is not out of the question given the trajectory!

There it goes!

[urban flint]

Hehe, it broke support and it’s just trying to establish a LH

Guessing that would be a wick to 21k, but if earnings start rolling in like crap, then back to drawing board

[zinc ferry]

its going!

and we broke session low

not looking good for tomorrow!

[agile jasper]

we resume the 6 down days streak?

[zinc ferry]

Broke 21k

[urban flint]

Not yet huh

[zinc ferry]

oops i meant 21.2k

but we are still moving towrds 21,000

And there is no one to stop it!

[zenith narwhal]

Does TopstepX lock u out of the account if u made a certain amount?

Or is it a setting

[agile jasper]

you can do it inside the settings if you want

[zenith narwhal]

Oooohj

Its a button

[agile jasper]

also a button

d'oh

[zenith narwhal]

HAHA

[agile jasper]

grats

[zenith narwhal]

How nice

It’s like a virginity belt

Stop the horny for X hours

• risk setting is nice.
• lock-out (automatic) is nice.

Im sold

[agile jasper]

done

[zinc ferry]

Do we think ASIA can save our markets? MAybe another run up?

[meager geode]

why don't you earn for yourself and won't have to wait for 10% from others.

[urban flint]

NQ looks pretty good. Wish I could stay up for London. It looks like it will run tonight again.

[zinc ferry]

NQ stalled here....

Im not sure if the ASIAN markets know how to run prices up?!?!?! They are better at a slow bleed or sideways trading

Neede to get the Nikkie and Hang Seng traders ot of the way! Just go home!

complete sloppy trading by the ASIAN markets...

This is what ASIAN markets look like. CHAOS!!! Prices jumping all over the place. No trend!

[fair socket]

todays news

[zinc ferry]

Welp...London is not any help!

They are driving everything lower as well

fingers crossed they turned it around...

Are you telling me the Brits can only move the market 16 points in 1 hour? Really? That is so weak!

Guess we need to wait for the Yanks to take over!

They cant even more the needle 5 points! Crazy!

For 20 minutes the BRITS have traded in a 4pt range! amazing!

They finally moved it more than 5pts!

[surreal dust]

😂

[zenith narwhal]

ey don't bully us like that.

[surreal dust]

moved a fair bit since he tried to troll the UK tbf 😄

[surreal dust]

would have taken that

[zenith narwhal]

So when the US unites Mexico and Canada.

Can we name it C.U.M.?

[surreal dust]

I am sure that will go down extremely well

only problem is US will want to be first in that abbreviation 🙂

[urban flint]

Morning. lol good one. It was actually a major discussion when USMCA was implemented. What country is put first and what to call that trade agreement etc.

[zenith narwhal]

If u guys add greenland u can do Cumland

just saying

[urban flint]

Hahahaha

[zenith narwhal]

If Trump ever finds this Discord, he either laughs or I will have committed sudoku with 2 bullets in the back of my head.

[zinc ferry]

if we buy Canada, all the actors said they will move to Canda if Trumpo wins. I guess they will have to find a new home....maybe move to Afganistan..to quote get smart..."what will we do without their razor-sharp politcal advice?"

[agile jasper]

ES ripped through 6000

[native drum]

Ahhhh I think you mean Seppuku. Sudoku is the numbers game 😂

[nocturne sigil]

👀

[zenith narwhal]

(its a Quora meme i think) -- "How do I commit Sudoku"

[surreal dust]

grrr was doing knee rehab stretches

missed the move

late into it now

[fair socket]

what op you had on your knee?

[surreal dust]

had some cartlidge removed .... football injury

ran full speed with my knee into a metal grate that was surrounding the pitch

most stupid injury ever

i was lucky apparently my knee cap survived..... apparently all that MMA training must have hardened my knee up some what 😂

also tore my meniscus doing it but that has recovered from the small tear

too much info 😄

[fair socket]

oh damn! im waiting for major surgery for a complete grade 3 tear of my acl and mcl lol

[surreal dust]

oh no... how did you do that?

[fair socket]

boxing fight in manchester

[nocturne sigil]

at the time i went, the hockey/ football, and basketball teams were ranked top 25 for each
some were top 5

LOL

so no study for me

now, they suck
except for basketball as usual

[urban flint]

Yeah, they were good there for a while. Still have good programs. Its such a good school and fun campus. Spent a lot of time there. My wife went there for under and grad. You're going to hate me now but I went to UofM lol.

[nocturne sigil]

I wasnt smart enough for UM

honest

dam

thats cool

[urban flint]

I mean, I went to a collage abroad then transferred for a year to uofm. So i'm not that impressed. Still liked the parties at m state better lol

It's a good school but too competitive and honestly most of the folks there is missing on how to actually apply any of it to real world. lol

[surreal dust]

locked out done for the day

😄

[urban flint]

That's what I feared.. knew I should have taken that premarket pop

[nocturne sigil]

arent most colleges like that? LOL
Even Elon says its not needed

[nocturne sigil]

meanwhile....

[urban flint]

Exactly. false reality

[nocturne sigil]

LOLLLL

[nocturne sigil]

a degree shows that you can follow and get to a goal

thats it

[surreal dust]

i missed 50% of it... wasn't expecting it

[nocturne sigil]

better than 49%

[agile jasper]

570 next stop on NQ

[urban flint]

Haha.. better than me. I was starring at it and was like. no don't do it

[surreal dust]

They need to completely redo the way colleges and uni's work ...... just adding coggs to the machine (talking general subjects..... which are a waste of time.... not specialists subjects)

[quiet turret]

573

[surreal dust]

about to close APEX

[agile jasper]

close your eyes and buy

[surreal dust]

done aon apex too

nice to be finished the day on all accounts

[surreal dust]

I closed my eyes and thought of vwap 😄

[agile jasper]

crazy rally

[urban flint]

Yea, that was the move I was eying. lol..

so crazy

[surreal dust]

Hope you guys have a good day too

[urban flint]

I need to start trading before 9:30

[surreal dust]

long weekend with no trading monday 😂

[surreal dust]

@zinc ferry suck the UK longs 😉

[surreal dust]

for the last 2 weeks

imo

[urban flint]

Yes, with volume too.. What the hell london.

[surreal dust]

dUS30 looks good

[urban flint]

NQ at PDH

[agile jasper]

[surreal dust]

lol wow

i reall yneed to start leaving runners but my rule is 5k for Jan

[urban flint]

Why didnt I at 08.. I was so close.. just don't love this premarket. love the data

[surreal dust]

i cap profit on top

[agile jasper]

21600

need a lil more juice

[surreal dust]

need us to open

[urban flint]

If 4h closes like this then we got a 4h BOS, and game over to bears

21600 would be a stretch pre market..

Hell of a 1h candle

[agile jasper]

hold my beer

[urban flint]

lol

[fair socket]

damn i got virgin media installed and nas long TP'd at 385 LOL

i was in from 325

[agile jasper]

here we go

[surreal dust]

haha feel your pain

had that earlier in the day

but managed to get back in

[fair socket]

only just got internet back on

done for the week now i guess

[surreal dust]

man i freak out

when my internet goes down

its like planet of the apes in my house

when that happens

😂

[fair socket]

hahaha ive had shocking BT internet for a year

virgin 10x faster already on speedtest for wifi

[surreal dust]

like a kid on the candy store

I struggled on 50mb when I first moved in for 2 years.... i almost cried when virgin finally wired the street up for the 500mb..... I was dancing around the house like a moron 😂

bought a new eval

and longed 😄

[surreal dust]

Gold short could be good too

[agile jasper]

holy

stops are getting popped

[urban flint]

100%

market has not even opened lol

[spare bloom]

Clean short of the open

Quick scalp

cya next week

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/vince-mc-mahon-strut-swag-wwe-oh-yes-gif-12826442

[urban flint]

Good trade mate

[surreal dust]

Think if M7 holds we are going straight back up... approaching support

[urban flint]

I agree

Might be a pullback, for more to buy. that's my play basically.

[surreal dust]

yeah I am waiting with my eval

[urban flint]

a panic send all down to 21341 would be fun 🙂

[agile jasper]

vwap at 467

[quiet turret]

50 yard line at 21494.75

[agile jasper]

price & vwap left the opening range

[quiet turret]

21494.75 reaction hope it holds and VWAP can catchup.

[quiet turret]

Is that a message from prop firm or regular brokerage account?

[agile jasper]

from the prop firm's trading platform

[quiet turret]

ok

I need to check out how this prop firms work.

[agile jasper]

we're flushing to the vwap

[quiet turret]

almost there. Price been waiting to VWAP to catchup

[agile jasper]

yup

trading on paper now to keep the withdrawals in check

@surreal dust and @urban flint are MIA today

[quiet turret]

I would like it to go up one more time take SL and come back down.

[agile jasper]

they're taking advantage of monday off so 3 days weekender

[quiet turret]

Yes

Maybe many traders would take long weekend and we trade on low volume today.

[agile jasper]

also a good thought

[surreal dust]

locked out before market opened

was done

😂

[quiet turret]

We need you here

[surreal dust]

I did open another eval tho

so will probably trade it today at some point

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/no-the-office-michael-scott-scream-gif-16929305

[quiet turret]

let's go for SL hunt

[agile jasper]

we're pushing higher but i'm not convinced

[quiet turret]

so far filling FVG

I am hopping for new high if we pass 50 yard line at 21584.75

[surreal dust]

I am waiting for a 15m close in 6 mins

[agile jasper]

couldn't close back inside the opening range yet

[surreal dust]

need to keep and hold 506-509 area

[quiet turret]

GC at +2Dev VWAP

[agile jasper]

oh yeah seen GC screaming

[surreal dust]

looks good for higher imo

[surreal dust]

I blew an account last week

entered 11 contract trade by accident (thought it was 1 contract) 😂

no SL.... market wicked through and killed me

was a new account so not too bad I guess

😅

[quiet turret]

Something like that happened to me. I closed the trade and forgot to cancel sop-loss order for like 6 NQ contracts and when I waked up it was way in the money. 😂 We need to be carful.

[surreal dust]

really man

that is your story

to make me feel better....

i get liquidated... and you end up in the money 😂

[agile jasper]

down we go

[quiet turret]

Well it could been other way around

[quiet turret]

Your VwAP catched up to the price

[agile jasper]

yes, rejected off the vwap just now

vwap at 493.75

NY's vwap at 545 and opening range at 564

[quiet turret]

Going long?

[agile jasper]

i am still short on paper, target was where the old vwap was

[agile jasper]

thing is, we're still inside the range

[surreal dust]

I will take your version 😄

[agile jasper]

breaking vwap here and now

[quiet turret]

If we break VWAY it can turn into chop all day long.

VWAP

[agile jasper]

in all fairness

look at the gap

[quiet turret]

That is a big gap. IS this a futures chart or NDX?

[agile jasper]

NQ futures

we opened 400 points higher than the close from last night

400 points overnight rally and I was considering leaving 1 lot on while I sleep 😂

[quiet turret]

so why chart is missing over night candles?

Maybe you have setup that way

[agile jasper]

I turned on RTH to see the gap without candles inbetween. I usually have ETH on

[quiet turret]

Ok got it

I like UK session. Most of the action in our night time.

[agile jasper]

I am UK based but usually get chopped if I trade that 😂

[quiet turret]

Where in UK?

US session has more direction

[agile jasper]

just outside lochness's monster house

https://tenor.com/view/loch-ness-monster-behind-you-nyah-gif-15010224

[quiet turret]

😃 Scotland

NQ moving up are you closing your paper trade?

[agile jasper]

nah leaving it as a "runner". entry at 510

could have closed it in profit but i don't believe this push

[quiet turret]

YM looks more stronger for upside.

[surreal dust]

no 15m close below that level so still bullish

but obviously scalps in the range are on

🤤

[quiet turret]

Need to goto 1 Min chart to calp

[surreal dust]

I was longed that too earlier in the day... but all closed out on funded accounts

booted the PS5 up

waiting for my eval trade 😅

[quiet turret]

You must had a good week.

[surreal dust]

Can't complain

grateful too

[quiet turret]

Yes

[surreal dust]

as well all know its not as easy as it looks lol

[quiet turret]

Markeet been good this year so far

3 winning weeks

[surreal dust]

for sure

also grateful I found luxalgo and this group chat room in Dec ..... really nice core of peeps in here I have got to know

so thanks to all of you

[quiet turret]

Same here thanks to LuxAlgo and all the traders here.

[surreal dust]

even the mods are nice-ish 😏 🫠😋

You guys do any gaming?

Or am the only nerd 😅

[quiet turret]

No gaming or gambling for me. Only business.

[surreal dust]

same thing

but better 😎

I used to have a business.... but closed it pre covid as it happens.... I do miss it .... but I love trading so much

[quiet turret]

This week crossed six figured profit in a week.

[surreal dust]

and no other people (if you know what I mean) !

[surreal dust]

trading or business?

[quiet turret]

yes

I have multiple business and we suffered a lot in covid

[surreal dust]

oh that is exciting

multiple business part

[quiet turret]

Trading real account

[surreal dust]

Amazing... congrats man !

[quiet turret]

Thanks

[grizzled folio]

@quiet turret @surreal dust hi guys , I see a lot of your comments, dont you guys do crypto?

[quiet turret]

Hopping for good day today but not much happing

[surreal dust]

Yes we do ... but there is a channel for that technically

[grizzled folio]

@quiet turret @surreal dust come in the crypto room , help the people who need it 🙏

[quiet turret]

No cryto for me at this time. I did it for couple of months last year.

[surreal dust]

was all premarket......... but the pattern so far has been pre market and then end of day... last 2 hours

[quiet turret]

Yes

[surreal dust]

What businesses do you do? If you want to say... no pressure!

[quiet turret]

I would love to but not following the chart so wont be much help.

[quiet turret]

I am in hotels and real estate.

[surreal dust]

its all the same methodology really...

[surreal dust]

way off my guess....

nice !

[quiet turret]

Thanks

[surreal dust]

As it buying and selling or renovating or holding?

I guess all of that goes together anyway lol

[quiet turret]

Mostly renovating and holding

sold couple two years ago

[surreal dust]

Well i know who to come to for advice on that subject then 😏

Always wanted to do something in that area - i guess most people would say that tho lol

[quiet turret]

It is a good business but economy dependent.

[surreal dust]

Alot of moving parts for sure

I had a staffing agency for 10 years ... nurses / doctors / specialist areas

so really far from real estate haha

[quiet turret]

Yes and big monthly expenses also

[quiet turret]

That solunds like a good busines

I like the way you trade.

[surreal dust]

haha thanks I like the way you trade too !

[quiet turret]

I need to learn from you.

[surreal dust]

it was a great business.... but 85% of my time was HR.... and it just got very tiring tbh... so closed it down eventually

but I miss being a "boss" and the perks of having a business for sure 😄

[quiet turret]

I understand. Sometimes tough decissions need to be made.

[surreal dust]

but I wouldn't trade back from trading to that tbh....

maybe because I have been there and done it.... maybe that is why

[surreal dust]

Yes it is difficult.... and ended up in court 3 times of employment disputes (wont them all for the record :p)

but people can be so difficult and unreasonable

and its stressful when its your own business on the line and you have to deal with it

so I hated that side of it

[surreal dust]

haha I am learning from you guys every day... nice to swap info

[quiet turret]

GC breaking out of the range

[quiet turret]

Yes I am always a student for learning how to trade.

[surreal dust]

It is great to have your own strategy and style

but also great to see other people execute and see and learn what they do

especially if you can add it to your own.. gives you more options

this year or end of last year I only started scalping on smaller timeframes... till then I was only 30m/15m so that changed a lot for me haha

[quiet turret]

Yes we can make a strategy but to do that we need to learn all the successful trading style and make our own strategy.

[quiet turret]

Yes

15 min is good

I have back tested many strategies and 15 min is aa good time frame to trade.

[surreal dust]

15m is always my default

unless I see a degen range on 1/3/5m and start playing

[quiet turret]

Some times I ue 3 and 12 minuts charts

3 min is good for scalping

YM keep moving up

[surreal dust]

Yes I appreciate the 3m

more than I used to

I haven't tried the 12 yet 🙂

on my to do list 😄

[quiet turret]

So boring market. I need to change my sleeping schedule and start trading noghts.

[surreal dust]

honestly I find it so hard to keep track of US timezones

lol

so I focused on my time zone and NY and thats it 😅

US30

amazing trade

should have left a runner

[quiet turret]

You are in good time zone for trading

[surreal dust]

I like my Jan rules of locking out... but boy I have missed some nice runners

[surreal dust]

Yes if I stay up to 11pm I catch Asia for 1-2 hours

and obviously I get London in my mornings

can't complain there

[quiet turret]

What time is there. Are you 8 or 7 hours behind NY time

[surreal dust]

I am 5 hours behind NY

[quiet turret]

ok

[surreal dust]

omg

5 hours ahead

😄

small diferences

[quiet turret]

😃

[surreal dust]

so NY close is 9pm for me

[quiet turret]

That is good. There is no action in NY evening time

[unreal wren]

So you must be in the UK, because anywhere else in Europe is at 10pm

[quiet turret]

Most of the action starts NY 1 AM

[surreal dust]

Yeah it is nice to be able to shut off

[surreal dust]

that is right

You in europe?

[unreal wren]

Yes!

[surreal dust]

nice... which part?

[quiet turret]

How beautifully GC price working with VWAP

[surreal dust]

Gold has been good trading today for sure

[unreal wren]

just in the middle

[surreal dust]

haha big area that +1 time zones covers 😄

I travel europe every summer so many amazing places

I did Poland, Romania, Hungary and Germany last year

[lament spindle]

Im from UK but live in Germany, it's nice in the summer for sure

[surreal dust]

Better than UK summer 😄

[surreal dust]

have you been to Tropical Islands?

South of Berlin

[lament spindle]

no, bit too far away for me, I'm in stuttgart

[surreal dust]

oh ok nice! Stuttgart is still on my to do list

[agile jasper]

agree

big push on the indices

[surreal dust]

it is a bit lower down so you drive over from the UK you tend to miss it... or I do as I normally go into Poland

[agile jasper]

ES is booming

[surreal dust]

yup nice trades

would ahve taken some of those

[agile jasper]

vwap doing it again

[surreal dust]

so strong didn't even need to come down again 😄

Friday vwap 😄

[surreal dust]

how do you find Germany vs UK

[lament spindle]

Better standard of living generally, but I try to avoid german people and speaking german hah. I do miss the food in England though, it's way better there than here

[agile jasper]

chips cheese and curry sauce right?

or fish and chips?

[surreal dust]

oh come on

fish and chips has to win 😄

[lament spindle]

oh yes

salt and pepper chips, chips cheese and gravy, cant get anything like it in Germany.

[surreal dust]

yeah that is what makes me so sad about the UK... virtually most of Europe has better standard of living than us.....

I worked in poland for a bit and standard of living is just so much better

i hope it will change in the UK eventually but I am not very confident lol

[surreal dust]

but good sausages 😄

[quiet turret]

I ran to strategies on bots in paper trading accounts for entire week. One has 72% return and second one has 24% return. Need to do more testing.

[surreal dust]

1st one sounds good

[quiet turret]

Need more front testing. One week is not good enought.

forward testing

[surreal dust]

How many profiles do you have @nocturne sigil 😂

getting these almost daily

[quiet turret]

I have not received any

[surreal dust]

you need to try harder to get scammed ... step up brother 😄

[lament spindle]

Have to disable friend requests

[surreal dust]

I can't do that cause I am in servers with friends elsewhere

should have setup a seperate discord for trading rooms lol

all scammers hereforth please report to Brothertrader 😄

its nuts how many come through

[quiet turret]

I do get lots of scams phone calls and text messages on phone.

That is enough for me

[surreal dust]

Any from vwap?

[nocturne sigil]

Will the real ME stand up?!

https://tenor.com/view/banging-the-table-dave-chappelle-saturday-night-live-standing-up-angry-gif-19226504

[surreal dust]

[zenith narwhal]

Only got real micky in dms

[surreal dust]

[surreal dust]

[zenith narwhal]

Real Micky told me to: git gud

[surreal dust]

haha

looking for a long breakout

bit early tho

😄

need power hour

[spare bloom]

bro missed the train and is waiting for a breakout when it broke out

i did buy the dip was a great long

Crypto is mooning

i think with monday off. It is all crypto fun for me

[surreal dust]

Yeah will switch to crypto on monday

my pepe bot is just chipping away in the background anyway 😄

[spare bloom]

yeah same got multiple pepe bots running

[agile jasper]

bye then?

[surreal dust]

in a long

atm

breakout hopefully or we go down down down 😄

playing on the ps5 at the same time so might be slightly distracted 🙂

[spare bloom]

you play ps5 while the market plays you

you got big balls tho longing the top and play ps5

[surreal dust]

its only an eval now

the "real" accounts all locked out

[spare bloom]

those evals must be dirt cheap if you keep buying them everyday

[surreal dust]

30 usd

on apex

cheap as chips

[spare bloom]

For 100k ?

[surreal dust]

250k

[spare bloom]

wow wtf

[surreal dust]

i got them on the Apex offer

I copy traded a bunch of them and blew them haha.... original cost was 18 usd

reset is 30 usd

😄

so just using them up

was a really good deal

never seen it that price before

[spare bloom]

I feel they are desperate to scam people

want people to pay at any cost

[surreal dust]

I mean no more than others

I jsut got paid again

for this weeks payout

[spare bloom]

10k?

[surreal dust]

2 x 3k

[spare bloom]

not bad

[surreal dust]

they have always paid me so far

so that is 12 payouts from them

since Oct

so i can't complain or bad mouth them 😅

[spare bloom]

thats good

[surreal dust]

it is the rules really

you need to understand them

topstep is a lot more loose with the rules

[spare bloom]

if people make 15k+ per week are they gonna pay

no way just sign ups are enough

3k or under is managable i think

[surreal dust]

I can't answer that but their stats if true then....

they pay out a lot

haha they changed the wording from payout... to "compensation" bit weird

[spare bloom]

see what i mean hahaha

[surreal dust]

Topstep pays out similar numbers

I mean there must be alot of losing traders I guess!

[spare bloom]

I think topstep pays less

If you paid this much you are no way profitable

As a propfirm

[surreal dust]

They have both been around for a long time though

ok Apex is only 2019

Topstep 2012

[spare bloom]

So they paid 400 mill in 5 years?

[surreal dust]

I guess their live traders are also making them money

[surreal dust]

apparently !!!!

[spare bloom]

Topstep only 180 mill

[agile jasper]

meanwhile NQ is pushing hard

[surreal dust]

Yeah I just saw

lets make a prop firm @spare bloom 😎

[agile jasper]

trying to make a new high of day

[surreal dust]

if we can pay out 200 mil and be profitable lets go 😄

[surreal dust]

haha forgot I was in a trade

@urban flint will be happy

[spare bloom]

my crypto is happy

[surreal dust]

sell crypto... setup prop

😄

[spare bloom]

nah fk props all ponzi

[surreal dust]

give me 180 mil over 4 years and I love you long time

[surreal dust]

so no love you long time? 🫠

[spare bloom]

You can pay me instead 😏

[surreal dust]

what a horrible deal man

😅

offer rejected

[urban flint]

Closed it

[surreal dust]

was about to tag you

to flex 😄

nice man 🔥

[urban flint]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-gif-12654501364171447161

[surreal dust]

oh no topstep is making changes to live funded traders

[urban flint]

Good day.

[urban flint]

Does it mean you can only have like 10 accounts ? 🙂

[surreal dust]

only 5

haven't heard their annoucement

oh ok i miss heard

one of the top traders blew his account

phew 😅 😂

[surreal dust]

not going to catch you on this one

[surreal dust]

he got paid almost 0.5 mil tho in payouts

[agile jasper]

what changes

[agile jasper]

oh no rafa is gone

[surreal dust]

none sorry my bad I completely misheard the guy

[agile jasper]

he did really well ngl

[surreal dust]

yeah I didn't realise they were talking about this account specifically

[surreal dust]

100% I will take what he did any day!

top stuff

[agile jasper]

yup

he will be back for sure

[surreal dust]

would love to see how he trades

[agile jasper]

3h avg hold times

[surreal dust]

he never comes online tho 😄

yeah with 4 trades a day

avg

that is sexy

oops? 😛

[agile jasper]

yup

you're lucky you didn't get kicked

[surreal dust]

for real?

I did use some bad combo of numbers or something?

[agile jasper]

nah i was joking

[surreal dust]

oh 😂

[zinc ferry]

And who plays dead??????

the BULLS!!!!!!! Rollimng over at the end of the day!

[quiet turret]

Good to have you back

[zinc ferry]

lol

[surreal dust]

Ohh finally bulls have made you happy

[zinc ferry]

I know my energetic commentary!

Bulls are sucking wind! Not sure they hsavae enough in the tank! They were very close to taking out the high of the day....but....nope!

[surreal dust]

glad you are not a farmer... you would flog your bulls to death 😅

[zinc ferry]

HAHA

I give up on the BULLS. They suck!

BEARS are where the real power is! LOL. They ahave the strength to take out the bulls any time they want! It is a BEARS market to lose.

[surreal dust]

oh wow

you have flipped sides

[zinc ferry]

Watch what happens here!

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-darkside-star-wars-evil-innerme-gif-12686883553708718330

[quiet turret]

YM

[surreal dust]

yes just looking at that

[zinc ferry]

I see the BEARS dropping the price another 40 points! Then someone might walke up and go....oh how did we miss the BEARS spanking us?

I think the BULLS work 1 day per month!

Then they can say....see?!?!..Look at what we did! Meanwhile the BEARS are disecting the market over and over again!

[surreal dust]

its going back up Riles 😄

[zinc ferry]

lets see! It will drop big! Watch this!

First fake out! More to come. The BESARS wont let them take over. They will hit the bid relentlesly

[quiet turret]

Bulls only take market up in the night time when no traders are around 😀

[zinc ferry]

there it goes

[zinc ferry]

so true!

[surreal dust]

looking forward to the last 2 hours 😄

lets get some moves

[zinc ferry]

and....its over! BEARS win again!

[agile jasper]

weekend started for me here in the UK

[surreal dust]

its not 9pm yet

how dare you slack off

[zinc ferry]

weekend started for the BULLS last month!

[quiet turret]

Lets take market down to VWAP

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/animaniacs-hello-nurse-gif-12680596

[zinc ferry]

[agile jasper]

[zinc ferry]

[agile jasper]

#📈futures-stocks-chat message

👆

[zinc ferry]

No way BULLS can fight

[quiet turret]

Riles we need your energy

[surreal dust]

its about time it came down to visit

[quiet turret]

We can manifest

[zinc ferry]

lets see what happens next. feabile attempt to take it back. It wont be enough. Bears will pound the bid button! Thank you sir may i have another!

[surreal dust]

took me a while to figure out what that was lol

[zinc ferry]

Yep...they gave up!

[quiet turret]

GC been good so far

[surreal dust]

Apple looks like it wants to Puke again

[zinc ferry]

BEARS are smelling blood in the water. BULLS are going to limp in to the close and then think they did a good job!

[surreal dust]

that would do it

[quiet turret]

Bulls will bring the market back up monday when no one is tradingn

[zinc ferry]

LOL! YEP

[surreal dust]

hoping we get a nice gap in the markets over monday 😄

[zinc ferry]

There it goes

typical end of day for the BULLS

[quiet turret]

rejected at +2deva VWAP

moved SL above +2dev

[surreal dust]

lux algo says downside break

YM 30 a short confirmed now for me

US30

[zinc ferry]

Its become so easy for the BEARS to do these reversals! There is just no pushback. What ever happened to fighting in the trading pit! Bunch of pansies now.

[elfin dust]

Can anyone suggest reliable platforms or tools to access Open Interest (OI) data for commodities like crude oil? I'm specifically looking for detailed insights on futures and options, including Call and Put writes. Any recommendations or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

[quiet turret]

either way come out of the trade profitable.

[surreal dust]

Interesting question ... maybe bookmaps or exo charts?

[quiet turret]

OI for options is listed in the option chain. Some charting platform have an indicator OI for futures.

Bulls trying hard

Trying to hold the line

VWAP at

[zinc ferry]

Still dropping. It may very well flush in to the close. Im goign to get some shorts to hole

[quiet turret]

535

[surreal dust]

coming out before vwap

bulls fighting

[zinc ferry]

no...they are playing iwth themselves

i mean against themselves

that came out wrong!

[quiet turret]

Yes Friday last couple of hours are crezy. Price moves according to open interest for SPX and ES options.

Good to look at OI

I have also noticed that when hour is closing last 7 minutes we get a move.

GC good call

GC back to VWAP

Maybe time to go long if we can get bullish candle.

[surreal dust]

stopped at BE

I will wait for a break either side

[quiet turret]

My stop is above +2dev VWAP

[surreal dust]

had a look at m7... looks weak... Tesla is holding it up

atm

went back short

[quiet turret]

how is NVDA

[surreal dust]

bullish on the day... neutral lower time frame for now

haha microsfot wick

got bought back up

instantly

apple is going hard tho

so staying in short for now

[quiet turret]

Thanks

Moved SL above 3 minuts candle

[surreal dust]

Tesla going up still

so that is pretty mixed

big boys are opposite ends 😄

[quiet turret]

Took GC long SL under VWAP very small SL food R:R4

long GC

[elfin dust]

do we have any feature to see the OI in TV , if it is can you provide me

[surreal dust]

pretty sure there is an indicator for that if you search for it

[quiet turret]

Jusst type OI in TV

Ok my SL hit on NQ

[surreal dust]

yup stopped in profit again 30 usd

takeaway time 😄

[quiet turret]

😀

[surreal dust]

still in US30 short tho

[static burrow]

Images

[quiet turret]

We will make it before the close

[surreal dust]

bye bye crypto

like coinbase have any choice

😂

[quiet turret]

YM look better than NQ for short

[quiet turret]

Great. You got your $30

[surreal dust]

more food

strengthen the gut ... strengthen the mind 😄

and on NQ again

call me the takeaway scalper 😄

looks like we are range bound for a bit on 5m

[quiet turret]

Hoping for nice move here in to the close

[surreal dust]

3 bar reversal on 5m in play

[surreal dust]

think it will come it if is ranging here...

so just need to look out fo rit

took profit on US30

[quiet turret]

Trying very hard to breakout of +2dev VWAP

[surreal dust]

not a great area

need confirmation

should be good eventually

stating the obvious

haha 15m wicks

its going to go eventually

[zinc ferry]

Do we think we will flush in to the close?

[quiet turret]

If you thell them

tell

[surreal dust]

i guarantee it is one of the two probabilities

[quiet turret]

We need you to get this market straight

[surreal dust]

dude ... not straight ... we want direction 😄

[tribal sapphire]

Hey just wanted to share a strategy and ask for help as well.
I have been testing this.
It goes as in Oscillator Matrix

1. Look for hyperwave to print a signal only above 80 or below 20. Have to be with the trend.
2. Must come close or into neocloud setting 2.
3. In S&O use preset swing trader. Use this as a layer of confirmation.
   I tested it on 5 min in forex and it is 60% accuracy over a 40 trades over a month. With profit factor of 2.5.
   I want to set it up so I can get alerts for it to. But i am having trouble with that.

[zinc ferry]

BULLS are already long gone! They gt paid to sit on their a$$

[surreal dust]

I am back in a small size short

[surreal dust]

they are tired !!!

[quiet turret]

Use custome alerts or TV alerts

[quiet turret]

I am waiting.

My GC long is not going anywhere either

[surreal dust]

100% better to do so.... I am on the PS5 again so I picked a direction so I can not think about it atm 😂

[zinc ferry]

The last 15 seconds there is almost always a sell off. Provided it does not rip...but that hasnt happened ina while now. It may inch up but then it flushes lower in those last seconds

[surreal dust]

apple is crawling up

its 50/50 so best to wait

[surreal dust]

haha last 15 seconds 😂

[quiet turret]

15 min?

[surreal dust]

can you imagine if that was your strategy every day... last 15s of every day 😂

[zinc ferry]

watch it....you will be suprised.

it would free up the rest of the day

[surreal dust]

I will now.. thanks for that.... God 😂

[quiet turret]

Let me go on sec chart

1 second chart

[surreal dust]

yes we all show up for last 15s of market close and pick a direction 😂

[zinc ferry]

Market going nowhere. What else is there to do

[surreal dust]

think i would prefer some vegas games ... at least they last longer than 15s 😄

[zinc ferry]

i have sa heasdsche from lsughing

im going to take a nap and set my alarm for 25 seconds to go

[quiet turret]

Good idea

[surreal dust]

do you have enough time to run to the pc 😄

this thing is going to pump or dump pretty hard evevntually

coiling up

[quiet turret]

Yes agree

[nocturne sigil]

Thoughts by end of week, next week?

😬

[quiet turret]

Daily chart looks like we are in a channel

so if that is the case we come down next week

[surreal dust]

always asking the hard questions 😄

[quiet turret]

Are there any major earnings next week?

[surreal dust]

Just ours

[surreal dust]

not really

Friday is the only US one

high impact that is

i dont look at none high impact news 😅

[nocturne sigil]

50/50, right?

LOLLL

[quiet turret]

Ok Monday is inauguration day but market is close.

This year we will have to watchout for the tweets. Market can move at any time. We need to build a strategy areound this.

[surreal dust]

you any good at hacking

we can tweet some stuff out 😂

[quiet turret]

Nope. We will need Micky's help to build a strategy

[zinc ferry]

is that a tweeting strategy? OR tradig strategy? Or general strategy? Or yelling at the BULLS strategy

[surreal dust]

compounded short

mean tto add 1

added 2

🤦‍♂️

[quiet turret]

Using tweets to create a trading strategy

[zinc ferry]

I thihk that is what we are doing here. And ahaving fun in the process

Buying picking up

lets see if they can push to the close

[quiet turret]

Maybe Bulls are back finally

[nocturne sigil]

4 Year Swing Strategy

[surreal dust]

nice reaction

[surreal dust]

but are you short or long 😅

[agile jasper]

which side

[quiet turret]

We trade both sides

Whichever way market go swing strategy go in that direction

[surreal dust]

that is cheating

[quiet turret]

😇

[surreal dust]

Sure 2025 will be good for everyone here

[nocturne sigil]

hmmmmm

[quiet turret]

We need a bot when market makes a sudden move we get in right away.

[surreal dust]

i actually found something like that

been watching for the last week or so

seems pretty accurate for short TP's

[quiet turret]

What is it?

[surreal dust]

will send it to you

[quiet turret]

We trail stop buy and stop sell orders 100 points out

I can work on this with user defined options.

[surreal dust]

just chop no real moves

calling it a day

[zinc ferry]

Talk to you all next week

[quiet turret]
