[heady pelican]

i switched to Micros.. thats helping alot as well

[surreal dust]

we hold below 542 in 1 min I am staying in

[surreal dust]

yeah it has been so much better for me

I was doing great then hit a bad batch on minis

and I didn't recover until i switched to micros

flexiblity is invaluable

[heady pelican]

i agree

its easier to scale in with micros

[agile jasper]

[urban flint]

That was wild. Lot of pent up hate on camera

[surreal dust]

wish we knew!

[surreal dust]

such emotional topics :/

[urban flint]

Yea, really. Just absolutely wild

Nq is looking like yesterday. Drop support and massive afternoon decline to 300

[surreal dust]

[heady pelican]

i'd like to come back to the 20 EMA

[agile jasper]

20k by EOD?

[surreal dust]

i would say i think that is hard to see

[urban flint]

[nocturne sigil]

LOL
but that wouldnt be fun

LOLLL

[granite parrot]

Breakout to the upside looks to be coming

For NQ

I’m wrong a lot tho so this is NFA lol

[rugged rock]

Guyyys
Is there any way to get alerted whenever the predefined back test of S&O indicator update the list?

[nocturne sigil]

Yes, the Backtesters do have the Alert functions in real time
https://docs.luxalgo.com/docs/backtesters/alerts

[rugged rock]

I know, I already saw that, I mean get notified when this list gets update

[rugged rock]

Mike, is there any better/more related channel to ask my question? I mean something more specified around the question about the indicators for example

[granite parrot]

I’m usually right when I’m not trading it lol

[nocturne sigil]

The alert functions of the backtesters, will alert in real time based on your entry/exit conditions of your strategy.
The optimizer dashboard are suggested parameters for you to select and implement into your backtesting setting.

[rugged rock]

I know, but most of the times in the short-term strategies the sensitivity number goes crazy, I need the most recent number of the for the specified date range

[quiet turret]

We need to have sensitivity number automatically update in the Backtester.

[rugged rock]

Something similar already developed, name autopilot sensetivity, but is different from what we are talking about, I just want to be notified when it changes

[quiet turret]

Holding 200 EMA on daily.

[granite parrot]

It sure seems like we found our temporary bottom for now atleast

[rugged rock]

@nocturne sigil mike

[granite parrot]

The hangout one would be my guess

Or support one

[rugged rock]

I mean, why not all?😅

[quiet turret]

Weekly looks Bearish

[granite parrot]

NQ almost up 200 points since I posted this lol

[rugged rock]

This thing is really important for my under-developing strategy, and could help a looot

[agile jasper]

#🔍feature-requests . also @rugged rock

[rugged rock]

Sh!t not as a request, I hope it's already there, the request thing will takes a lot of times 🙂

[agile jasper]

it's not there i'm afraid

[nocturne sigil]

Just responded to you here
#📈futures-stocks-chat message

[agile jasper]

NQ is doing a dirty one

[granite parrot]

Looks like we have a liquidity grab tho

[granite parrot]

Knew I should’ve took one more trade

[agile jasper]

should've could've whould've

[granite parrot]

I’m happy with what I made and ready to enjoy the weekend

[agile jasper]

and tomorrow you'll cry the markets are closed and you can't trade 😂

[granite parrot]

You’re probably right since today was the first day I’ve traded in the last week or so lol

[quiet turret]

Yes looks like it.

[quiet turret]

Will do

Trying this with tight SL

[agile jasper]

looks good so far

[quiet turret]

SL to BE

Closed it for 600

It's Friday need money for weekend. 😃

[rugged rock]

I see, and then, I asked for my need

@nocturne sigil

Never mind, I'll ask it again tomorrow in the #💬hangout and #🔍feature-requests

[quiet turret]

Beautiful trade on SPX. Very happy with it.

[agile jasper]

good out

[rugged rock]

@agile jasper @quiet turret
Guys, how do you trade on S&O? I mean do you even use it based on your strategies?

I've been using it for the past few days and it was amazing, until the sensitive number updates for the short-term

[agile jasper]

I use it in conjuction with my opening range. I have a post on this in #1128499789437354106

[zinc ferry]

im so donw with the bulls. im coming over to the dark side

[agile jasper]

rug pull again

[quiet turret]

Out with 740 profit

[agile jasper]

look who's showing up now

[short valve]

How can I be this good

[rugged rock]

I tried to find it but I failed, can you reference it?

[agile jasper]

look for "opening range", that was the title if i remember well

[rugged rock]

@quiet turret
Only brothers and traders know😅😎

[short valve]

Which I was one of them

[rugged rock]

Found it and it's amazing
Good job, but do you wanna know about mine?

[agile jasper]

share it with the class!

[rugged rock]

Not completed yet, I will share the full result/process, but, here's the bot thing:

1. Open by confirmation
2. Close by revesal confirmation and open another one
3. Keep the sensetivity number update to the most recent swings
4. Let the bot do it rapidly

Not just the strategy
I can share the bot, but, the sensetivity number is the catch here

[rugged rock]

I could use some help on it, but it's already working, not perfect as 80% win rate but it's profitable

[surreal dust]

man es was so good to trade

[agile jasper]

if it works for you, that's great to hear!

[surreal dust]

done that was fast lol

[agile jasper]

damn look at it fly

[rugged rock]

But there's always a catch, and mine is the fake outs

[agile jasper]

no system is perfect, fakeouts are everywhere

[rugged rock]

Damn🔥🔥

[agile jasper]

boner candle

[rugged rock]

Have you ever tried the trends?

[agile jasper]

not sure what you mean by this

[rugged rock]

I mean, whe you get the short confirmation open a short position and reverse

[surreal dust]

one more

nice close

[agile jasper]

leave some for monday as well

at this rate we'll see 21k 😂

[surreal dust]

move final tp there lol

well 960

stopped in profit

pays to keep the chart open in bed lol

[agile jasper]

[urban flint]

Always wondered, why the buying into close?

[agile jasper]

weekend holds

[urban flint]

I just don’t get it, why take the risk?

[agile jasper]

lets see. last minute 60 points push

[surreal dust]

[agile jasper]

stop it

[surreal dust]

bad more in 10 mins than all day

😂

was watching batnman vs superman

😄

why does the market have to close now

😩

[surreal dust]

I am really surprised

i was pretty convinced we would be lower today

out of all days

what a finish!

[glossy sonnet]

[surreal dust]

kept my short bias for too long

today

but then I am not sure how you dont with the news being the way it was

[granite parrot]

Are you still done with the bulls?

[granite parrot]

🍻

[ornate raven]

this chat is bumpin

[nocturne sigil]

[sturdy wharf]

did someone say farmer stuff

510$ away 🤭 trying not to change the way I trade and get excited lol

[nocturne sigil]

Farmer stuff?

🌽

[topaz onyx]

Why leverage so much contracts on MNQ when u can just trade NQ. If u did the math u end up paying a lot more on fees trading micros

[nocturne sigil]

Traders who trade multiple micros are able to implement their strategies to scale in or scale out at different TP’s

[heady pelican]

imagine scaling into this move. if you start with say 5 micro contracts. then you scale in 5 at a time the whole way up

[nocturne sigil]

Yes

💥

[granite parrot]

Oooof @agile jasper 😅

[topaz onyx]

Fair point

All it takes is 2 NQ. I found a strategy from the lux ai and its on a 60 min TF. Toook first at PT for $2500 then got out at 7800. If I had held all the way which I wouldn’t have or even close would have been a 20k on 2 contracts day. I been loooking for a futures trade where i don’t need to “scalp” because i tend to do that a lot with ES. Biggest downdraw has been around 670 and biggest 1 con winner about roughly 6k. Because I trade SPX i would think ES wouldn’t be so bad. Oddly enough I trade SPX better than ES. Im good with NQ now.

Been asking for help with setting my alerts with crickets so I’ll just keep the strategy to myself. It if crazy how accurate it is with an hourly. Never thought I would be trading something like the NQ on an hourly.

[agile jasper]

nah

[surreal dust]

fees are so small compared to my profit targets of 2-4k that I aim for.... and the flexibility of the micros (adding and subtracting is worth more to me than the small comissions)

but I mean... each to their own .... I was a mini boy now a micro boy reborn

I did trade minis tho

into the close last night 😄

[spare bloom]

living dangerously

[surreal dust]

dangerously well fortunately

lol

i can pass scalping when it moves like that

just free money ... if there is such a thing 😅

[light frigate]

Can you tell me trading strategies using premium indicators from luxalgo, such as Signal and overlays, that I can use?

[nocturne sigil]

#💱forex-chat message

[tribal sapphire]

@nocturne sigil do you believe BPR retest strategy can be put into our indicators I have been doing research haven’t found a way yet we only enter on immediate retest of it. Or inverse FVG and immediate retest. Targeting 1:2 every time or swing point whichever is closer on any 1-5m timeframe. Manual backtesting was good.

BPR (Balanced price range)

[nocturne sigil]

Yes, in our older version of PAC, we used to have BPR, but we now included the Double FVG
Very similar, if not the same.
https://docs.luxalgo.com/docs/toolkits/price-action-concepts/imbalances#double-fvg
All BPR is two sets of FVG's
Its when the 2nd FVG tries to fill the first FVG, and thus creating its own FVG

[tribal sapphire]

Thanks @nocturne sigil

[nocturne sigil]

your welcome

I do view FVG's, especially overlapping FVG's to be important

[tribal sapphire]

Yes and if we draw a fib level and look at 65% -78% it very common see these pullback. It should be from the swing point of doublefvg

It usually gives that pullback. There is guy named Hamuzi i was watching his videos uses a similar concepts has his own tweaks to it

[nocturne sigil]

yeah, sounds like a good set-up

also what is these overlaps fall in the 65-78 zone?
that is good too

[tribal sapphire]

Just like this one

I mean why not looks good? Will see what happens.

😅

[severe solar]

Who is backtesting this weekend?! And can’t stay away? Haha

[tribal sapphire]

Me

[nocturne sigil]

I did before

Will ramp up later

[sturdy wharf]

What is backtesting

[gloomy quail]

Hahaaha

Anyone buy ADA 😄

i only have spot lol

55%

[nocturne sigil]

dang, you make $$$?

🚀

[surreal dust]

My average spot is around 50ish

didn't buy anymore... just holding still 🙂

wish I had a leverage long before that 55% pump tho D:

[gloomy quail]

Happy Sunday everyone. All ready for the first week of the month?

[spare bloom]

I sold my ada but i bought xrp,sol,etc

that dip i loaded heavy

That pump was insane

Finally trump pumping something

[weary plinth]

Anyone in the USA use a prop firm they recommend?

[tardy torrent]

anyone here trade NQ using PAC?

[nocturne sigil]

Many of us do

[tardy torrent]

what minute timeframe you use for OB?

[nocturne sigil]

I use the charts timeframe as well as a higher timeframe for my orderblocks

[tardy torrent]

Okok Thanks 😊

[tardy torrent]

the green OB means its a bullish OB

[nocturne sigil]

This might help a bit:
📌 Explanation on:
Volumetric Order Blocks
Internal Activity & Metrics

• This should help, when you have a larger amount buyers/sellers, it doesn't necessarily mean that price will go in that direction, but it can provide insight when price revisits these OB's.
• Take a look at this short LuxAlgo video on these features, and the docs.

[granite parrot]

The double pattern idea played out well on the (2 min chart) once futures opened this evening @nocturne sigil

[urban flint]

Took a long

[urban flint]

Small loss there, no biggie

[granite parrot]

The temporary overall global recession building month by month is starting to take a toll on oil demand it seems like. I’d expect OPEC to cut more on supply soon.

[urban flint]

Sure seems like it. What does oils do during a depression?

It was an automated trade, so small loss, was up a bit but air went out.

[granite parrot]

The lower the demand becomes the lower the price will go. OPEC will do its best to predict the demand but what makes the job a little tougher is the rising global tensions currently ongoing.

[fair socket]

todays news

[surreal dust]

So what are we all thinking today!

[heady pelican]

Up or Down lol

[surreal dust]

I am still surprised by market close on Friday tbh

[heady pelican]

nothing suprises me anymore. this whole damn market is the wild west right now lol

[fair socket]

id like to see price hit 400 today

[heady pelican]

i switched to MES, it moves a little smoother

this heiken Ashi RSI Is a game changer as well

[zenith narwhal]

Just a side question, are you guys doing this fulltime or are u doing a 9-5 on the side?

I know @sturdy wharf is doing Civ7 on the side.

[heady pelican]

i trade fulltime

[zenith narwhal]

so far I didn't have the ballz to switch it to fulltime. Not consistent (yet).

But I'm in this ''inbetween'' phase where I should spend more time on it, therefor become better/more cashflow. But by spending more time on it have less consistent cashflow from my 9-5.

Or maybe I should just setup a buffer and say fk it.

How did u do this? @heady pelican

[heady pelican]

i copy trade, i make 8K a week to my actual bank acct trading 30 minutes a day at the NY Open

a $500 trade is very easy at the NY Open and i copy trade 5 accts. so thats $2500 a day in 30'ish minutes

i just fuck around with 1 random acct during the london session just to test low volume strategies

[zenith narwhal]

solid. I got 3 accs now, automated, profit is good, but haven't pressed the payout button yet.

And it's been 2months now of actually having consistent profit? So I'm still a bit held-back to make the switch.

burning through cash in crypto > no problem.
burning through cash in futures > ptsd.

[heady pelican]

dont make the switch untill you are making more money per week in your actual bank acct with trading then you do with your 9-5

[fair socket]

I trade fulltime too, have done since 2022

[zenith narwhal]

Solid metric, ty.

As of now that's a no. It's about 50%

[heady pelican]

i dont trade crypto lol

[zenith narwhal]

I"ve been doing it since 2018. bankrupted twice. comeback 3-times.

It's really good for your mental health.

[cold orbit]

I agree been into the space from 2021

[heady pelican]

lol

[zenith narwhal]

U've been doing trading for a while now, no? Only the fulltime switch in 2022

[fair socket]

yeah up until 2022 i wasn't using prop firms and didnt have a big enough capital to ofset my 9-5 wage

[zenith narwhal]

Thanks for the insight guys. I'll see how the rest of the year is going and hopefully by the end of 2025 I can join u full timers. 🙏

[cold orbit]

Well I would like to add smth
Don't trade full time at least not in crypto maybe forex or stocks but not in crypto atleast

[zenith narwhal]

nono. Crypto is narrative-based.

usually just do simple breakouts there on bigger caps. The rest I trade low-caps/micro's. Nothing TA about it.

I stepped into Futures by the end of last year because it's more consistent.

consistent.. predictable.. u know what i mean haha

[lament spindle]

what accounts, asking for a friend 😅

[heady pelican]

i trade NQ And ES on top Step with 5x accts

[cold orbit]

Ik but it is not about trading well in crypto you can offcourse make money consistently
But the thing is it is not worth sacrificing the mental peace for all that money

[cold orbit]

Yeah bro got you

In crypto we have seen scenes worse than anything else
If you show that to a guy trading forex or stocks he would he would probably be scared as hell

[surreal dust]

small gold scalp

[heady pelican]

what it that blue box level?

[fair socket]

id like NQ to break the 032 level then go up

[surreal dust]

wow that is rough man.. and you have kept going and turned it around? that is great!

You are going to kill 2025 man.. keep going

[surreal dust]

secret Cartia level he tries to get me at lol

[surreal dust]

[heady pelican]

you need to make an indicator that does this automatically lol i'd buy it

[terse pivot]

The 💩 call is going to actually brighten up the start of this week as I didn’t close my option yet 😂🫡

What do you think, expiration end of week. Should probably close it at market open

[surreal dust]

struggling a bit here

I am waiting for something obvious.... can't see anything haha

[fair socket]

yeah just watching and waiting

[heady pelican]

i'm not fucking with London anymore lol. only going to stick to my NY Opening range strategy

[surreal dust]

i really want out of this gold trade

before the open tbh

cause silver and gold get smashed during US open for literally last 8 days I think

lost track

just need gold to break structure and finish off this move and then I will be waiting for US open for everything

[fair socket]

nice move on NQ

[surreal dust]

yup got your push

needs to take 096 area and start closing above

[fair socket]

be nice to break 160 then upto 300s but who knows

need a better trading week this week 😂

[surreal dust]

oh you got an entry!

nice

[surreal dust]

that was a very nice entry actually

completing missed it

just had a study of it now

[fair socket]

Thanks! Hopefully hold it till near news/NY open then close majority of it, I'm thinking

[surreal dust]

news is 3pm righ?

[agile jasper]

yup

[surreal dust]

ah yeah I see it now

Manu PMP

PMI

[fair socket]

i prob should of closed, being greedy never works for me lol

gave away too many BE/slight profits last week what would of given me a green week if i hadnt of been so greedy wanting bigger returns

[fair socket]

going to be out at 300 i think

[surreal dust]

it is an extended more from the morning on es and nq from this morning... that level held 096 on NQ

rejected I mean

[fair socket]

yeah should of closed there

need to find a decent fixed tp, instead of hoping for big amounts and getting screwed over aha

[heady pelican]

i just move my stop loss to the most recently closed candle. if it keeps moving up you're good. if it pulls back you secure max profits for that move

[surreal dust]

I am in NQ shorts noq

gold and silver longs closed

[fair socket]

no wonder its dropping haha

youve jinx'd me again aha

[fair socket]

not seen a green day in a week 😛

[surreal dust]

haha I wanted to go long on NQ !! Was waiting for that 096 area confirmation

[surreal dust]

you banked green on this NQ long tho?

[heady pelican]

you are definately the best ive seen at these low volume conditions

[fair socket]

yeah 300 on the combines 🤦🏻‍♂️

prob gonna go back to FX though

[surreal dust]

you talking to me??

or danny

[heady pelican]

yes

[fair socket]

clearly not me LOL

[surreal dust]

hahaah no way me either

you sound like me when I am drunk on a bottle of a polish vodka

😂

[heady pelican]

you have 1100 secured in crap volume lol

[surreal dust]

300 is good bank tho!

[heady pelican]

thats good in my books

[surreal dust]

I will take the compliment !

[fair socket]

only another 9 more 300 trades to pass right? 😂

[surreal dust]

But definitely tone down the praise lol... I wish I was so good 😂

[surreal dust]

green is green !

[heady pelican]

how much did you bank friday?

[surreal dust]

lol

i mean that doesn't count as low volume tho!

[heady pelican]

i rest my case

[surreal dust]

Honestly so many good traders in here.. just different conditions are more / less difficult for each of us at different periods

i think

due to trading styles or whatever

its nice when we are all in sync tho.... Jan was the worse month for me ever

[fair socket]

last week was my worst week in a long while

ill give these combines a try then go back to my trusty FX

[surreal dust]

the worse thing is when you trade the Evals / Combines so well then trade shit in the PA / XFA 😂

[fair socket]

ikr

[surreal dust]

good to sometimes take a break and go back to comfort

to reset

[fair socket]

watch this NQ go up now im out of trade, that summed up last week

[surreal dust]

honestly NQ and ES flipped from short to long and long to short at areas you wouldnt' expect so much imo

[urban flint]

GM

[surreal dust]

NQ looking better there

[fair socket]

lets hit that OB at 300

[surreal dust]

can we do it later now I am short

😂

[urban flint]

Yep, potential for a SMT divergency between ES and NQ there.

[fair socket]

i jumped in on the pull back at 049

[surreal dust]

sizing small

[unique knoll]

When you get a chance, can you tell me the name of that "Heiken Ashi RSI" indicator you are using.

[heady pelican]

just type it into trading view indicators

[nocturne sigil]

It did break up....

[heady pelican]

its called heikin ashi rsi

[unique knoll]

I'll look again, thank you.

[urban flint]

NQ is actually looking decent at this time

[unique knoll]

Got it, thanks!

[surreal dust]

mmm you looking a short or long

[terse pivot]

Guys, can I please have your thoughts on the effect of the crypto reserve news? Do you think we will stay bullish after market opening for Coin and microstrategy? It’s tricky as I can’t see volume in market close now

[surreal dust]

for me fake up on low liquidity on the weekend...... expecting more dump and them pump

[urban flint]

I do think there's a chance that we run all the way up to 21800 for a retest of trendline break on weekly. I've seen that move a lot on breakdowns.

[surreal dust]

US markets dictate all... including crypto... so until US markets settle ... I dont see crypto recovering this week for example ... just my thoughts anyway.... have to keep watching the charts and see what happens!

[terse pivot]

I mean this news

[urban flint]

21600 is POC for those moves, so I expect above there to see Short coming in

[surreal dust]

yup that is what I was responding to

just news till it actually happens and move goes in

[surreal dust]

I can see that play out

200 MA held on ES

and NQ also held the lows really well on Friday

[terse pivot]

Hmm maybe you’re right. I’m always getting recked when I don’t sell the news

[urban flint]

This is what I saw too

[terse pivot]

I have option expiration end of this week at 215

[surreal dust]

I wanted to short last night tbh...... but the pump was strong I was also scared of shorting... which is a shame as my bias was correct

but moves were too aggressive for my SL comfort lol

[terse pivot]

You can still do it if you’re sure 😂

[surreal dust]

going to be an interesting week

[sturdy wharf]

yeah im pretty elite

[surreal dust]

man should have stayed long silver ... :/

[zenith narwhal]

Scout exploiter confirmed

[urban flint]

This maybe?

[terse pivot]

Why do you think bearish

[surreal dust]

355 we have weekly I think

[urban flint]

Zoomed in

[surreal dust]

Silver is just trolling me now lol

we should all probably just trade the ES tbh

until the market settles lol

ES has acted more rationally the last 2 weeks than NQ imo

[urban flint]

Let me answer that question with a Micky chart.

[terse pivot]

@surreal dust how did you find out volume over the weekend?

@nocturne sigil do you maybe know this?

[heady pelican]

this shit is wild.. absolutely no continuation as soon as i enter lol

[nocturne sigil]

Not sure what you mean?
Volume over the weekend?
Would this be the same way over the weekday? do you use a volume indicator?

[terse pivot]

To me it seems like it’s breaking through cloud with low squeeze or?

[terse pivot]

Im not getting volume data of stocks trades over the weekend

[nocturne sigil]

Because stocks dont trade over the weekend

[terse pivot]

But they do? How is pre market higher than last Friday?

[urban flint]

I think most professional traders on WS would look for a short entry at retracement, but yea, you can ride the retracement too. No one knows. The macro is still very bearish. This is how I would trade it if it was a 5 min chart.

[nocturne sigil]

Premarket is for the few hours before todays NY open.
These two things are different topics

[surreal dust]

you can use the volume indicator... but weekend liquidity is always low... so any large buying or selling can artifically effect price in the short term (daily) imo

We are still talking crypto right :p

[terse pivot]

We never were

[terse pivot]

Ah okay so, this volume data of pre market today is also not available?

[surreal dust]

if we dont take 906 I will be adding to my short when it gets back up there

[surreal dust]

oops got lines crossed lol

[heady pelican]

i'm in ES

[terse pivot]

Grok tells me the stocks probably continue to go up , maybe slight correction at market opening 😂

Im thinking of locking in profit and buying new contract on correction at opening

[nocturne sigil]

Volume data is available when the market is open, at times, when volume is very low, you may visually not see anything, but in fact there is volume, but vry low volume. Your broker can go over this with you as well.

[terse pivot]

I just want to see the volume that’s causing this pre market spike that’s all 😂

[surreal dust]

Micky is my broker

told me to long the Hogs

[urban flint]

I'm ready when this one is.

[nocturne sigil]

It spiked because market opened, this is called the gap, the open of today, versus the close of friday.

[surreal dust]

Wow tesla up 3% pre market

[surreal dust]

nice

[nocturne sigil]

@terse pivot All the pent up volume will be on the first candle of premarket open today

[urban flint]

Just a waiting game there. Going to apply a long only bot on that one once break

[surreal dust]

add the volume indicator ?

[surreal dust]

I am NQ short but also waiting

monitoring M&

m7

for market open

[nocturne sigil]

@terse pivot Its like when you have your faucet turned off, you do not see and water pressure in the pipes.
But when you turn your faucet on, then all the pressure (volume) will be gushing out at once.

[surreal dust]

M7 looks pretty neutral atm

see how that changes towards open

hahaha coinbase up 10% since weekend pump on crypto

commission / fee sucking bastardos

[heady pelican]

this is the story of my life.. i enter a short with massive down pressure as soon as i enter the pressure goes away lol

[surreal dust]

dude

stop jynxing my short

stay out

😂

[cold orbit]

Us bro us

[fair socket]

im in long from the pull back

[surreal dust]

PDH was at 21036

on that NQ 15m wick

actually bounced off that a few times now

3 times

today

going to stay short as the SL is ok the trade risk

[restive raven]

Whos ready for a fantastic week??

[surreal dust]

i am ready ... not sure for what tho 😅

[restive raven]

haha lets get them gainz my guy

Hourly just had a bullish BOS but it's also sitting right at a pivot point and also feel like it needs to come down and test vwap

So im bearish for market open but we'll see what happens

[surreal dust]

@fair socket and are are in counter trades... for now..... which means the market is really not clear right now 🤦‍♂️

[restive raven]

chopchopchop

[surreal dust]

that is my view atm

[terse pivot]

Haha this I can understand somehow

[surreal dust]

but watching M7 premarket too

like a hawk

[restive raven]

if the hourly pushes through the pivot point on the 1hr before market open then i can see a pop up but then coming back down

[surreal dust]

906 for me

area

[nocturne sigil]

haha yes, so when the faucet is turned off, this is when the market is closed, During this time, over the weekend, the traders are making plans, building up the pressure. Then when markets open, boom !!!!!!! Pressure released.

https://tenor.com/view/water-burst-dump-flow-gif-16539503

[urban flint]

Haha, that's all Mickys orders.

[surreal dust]

mmmmmm

make up your mind NQ

[terse pivot]

You actually have an option in trading view to see extended trading hours 😂

[surreal dust]

Yes you can see them on TV

[tribal sapphire]

Good morning guys

but it has rejected again at 906 on 15m

so we will see

ok i give up

can't tell from the Mag7

it is a mix

see how this plays out then

[sturdy wharf]

yeah what a shit long

it made it look like it wanted to go back up

forgot we only go down

[surreal dust]

moved SL down

[heady pelican]

that open was very anti climatic lol

[surreal dust]

wow

PDH

go away

lol

[sturdy wharf]

yeah it stopped me out then went up

[tribal sapphire]

Now it will go up

[surreal dust]

[surreal dust]

[terse pivot]

Lot of retailtraders getting recked now for sure

[surreal dust]

tempted to add a few contracts on the 45min close

[agile jasper]

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-obvious-thanks-yes-sir-gif-27076523

NQ and Es spiked from their huge spike up areas

from Friday

mmm

school run time

stopped on 2nd account

close all accounts now

Took profit entered new shorts

[urban flint]

i'm still short

[surreal dust]

school run man

really screws me hard sometimes

[urban flint]

If I had to guess, seems like a bit lower first

20700 and up?

[urban flint]

Just a WAG

[agile jasper]

you missed the S for SWAG

[urban flint]

What is S then?

super Wild a guess

[terse pivot]

Tesla is looking good for bullish short term

[urban flint]

nice short here

[sturdy wharf]

everytime I look at NQ this tape is THINNNNNN

[agile jasper]

vwap getting flipped

[urban flint]

Still waiting, but looking to enter a short on flip

21015 maybe?

[agile jasper]

21020s maybe, bottom of the opening range

but the upside momentum is strong

[urban flint]

yeah, looks like a classic retrace setup open play

I'm long gold

2882 entry

[gloomy quail]

Hello everyone. Welcome to DAY 1 of 5. It is too early to panic/rush, just go with the flow of the market. Don't chase the $$$ more than following your strategy. I wish us a profitable week.

[surreal dust]

well hellow

lol

PA

[urban flint]

There she goes

[surreal dust]

mmm can't enter here have to wait now

[urban flint]

Yeah, standard, break of range and then retest to continuation

Nice support on vwap however

[surreal dust]

yeah wil wait now

[urban flint]

WS loves the 50%

Let's see if it holds. I was thinking a bit lower

[surreal dust]

might be a similar situation to Friday

[heady pelican]

needs to break the 970's

[surreal dust]

that might be the low

730 for me I'd short again if lost that

[urban flint]

I was expecting 21700 retest low

That 5 min bullish candle above vwap looks juicy however

probably flipping long if hold. lets see

still no position ..

[granite parrot]

Caught this quick move up on QQQ off the 4HR FVG, might be my only trade today lol

Nice doji candle formed as well

[urban flint]

any close below 21910 would be a short for me

[severe solar]

one and done earlier

should I keep trading?

[agile jasper]

YEAH ONE MORE TRADE

[heady pelican]

yea, green is bad.. Red is the color you want

[urban flint]

Took a short

[heady pelican]

you got more balls than me.. lol.. just ranging right now

[granite parrot]

Greed! Lol

[severe solar]

what is that

[agile jasper]

not a bad short

[surreal dust]

nice entry

lol I have 3 very different profits over 3 accounts 😅 good or bad 😄

[terse pivot]

I have a Msft call at 400 for EOW. Maybe extend that position?

[surreal dust]

wow did you sell that at the open?

[terse pivot]

😂 it’s the TA

[surreal dust]

i mean it literally wicked 400

and then dumped haha

oh end of week

I misread that it was for today

[terse pivot]

Aah okay you were getting me confused too

[surreal dust]

my superpower

it is how I keep my edge in counter trading

😏

vix is up again

i want to long here

not sure

[agile jasper]

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

[agile jasper]

i want to short

[urban flint]

Still short

[surreal dust]

going to long

in practise account

[urban flint]

Probably getting stopped out

[severe solar]

1h hasnt set a lower wick

like the odds of 850s again

[surreal dust]

practise account long

[severe solar]

don't know where we would go from there though seems like reversal

[surreal dust]

i would try long there... unless we lost and closed below the 740's

then I would short

so I have no idea either

😂

[severe solar]

Waiting on vwap

[surreal dust]

screw the vwap 😄

will set alerts and wait then

[severe solar]

vwap is the key here imo just the way we reacted to it already

[surreal dust]

yes so far

i can't trade in this area it breaks my rules... so will be patient up a lot today so need to give it back

might locked out the 4k profit account actually

done

[lament spindle]

rules you set or rules of your topstep/apex account?

@surreal dust

[surreal dust]

mine

[agile jasper]

flipped the vwap

[severe solar]

yes I would want a break and then vwap retest

[heady pelican]

this triangle pattern was spot on!

[surreal dust]

that was tp1

[surreal dust]

should have taken it

[severe solar]

yea man those patterns are nuts

[severe solar]

here we go

[heady pelican]

just dumped that entire gain lol

[severe solar]

if we close under vwap i like the 850s

[surreal dust]

practice account wins although I would banked profit and BE

[severe solar]

1hr has no lower wick good odds

[surreal dust]

not the best trade

[urban flint]

I’m still in the short 😅

[severe solar]

in a range not a bad hold if on lower timeframe

so long as you are risked properly done matter

[urban flint]

Still think we should see 21700

[surreal dust]

should have got short again

was nice on the 15m rejection

[agile jasper]

ok cooked another short there

[severe solar]

850s

target

[surreal dust]

well dam

[agile jasper]

i'm over

done and dusted

[surreal dust]

that was a short trade

nice

i can't trade here going to wait

going to be a good boy and stick to stuff

[severe solar]

ty for the motivation

[agile jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/denzel-washington-training-day-smoke-gif-22279308

[surreal dust]

3 bar

?

[severe solar]

just remember if you ever see no lower or upper wick on a 1hr chart is very rare that it closes this way

price usually has to go set that high or low before going anywhere

so that is a really good sign to identify short term direction when you see that

once that lower wick is set then you can be undecided again. It does happen where it closes with no lower or upper wick sometimes. But its very rare

[surreal dust]

Are you talking about the open or in general?

[urban flint]

Back in profit protecting

[severe solar]

in general

[surreal dust]

nice will look out for it

[severe solar]

https://tenor.com/view/disneytoons-movies-disney-toons-cartoons-gif-14670267254775627272

[surreal dust]

not normally on the 1h tbh... so will be interesting to monitor

[severe solar]

there is 1h lower wick

it can work on a lot of timeframes

just watch it on the 1hr and 15min

then I look for bull or bear flags

[agile jasper]

topstep is processing the payouts after i locked myself out haha I want to cry

[surreal dust]

ok interesting.... i use 15m but I dont use 15m and 1h together

[surreal dust]

I am also in short but managing SL

oh there is news coming out

what is that news alert you use @agile jasper

war news

lol i can't remember the name for the life of me

Financial juice!

got it

[agile jasper]

no news alert. if i see a pump or a dump i look on twitter financial juice

[severe solar]

Now the market can reverse so be careful!

[surreal dust]

crap area

[heady pelican]

hmmmm.. i'm about 1100 from passing these apex accts. but ive traded alot today.. i wonder if i should call it a day

[surreal dust]

better to wait for a clean entry imo

[urban flint]
