Well, egg prices went down considerably. But I heard a lot about how supermarkets don't lower their prices to make up for the losses

[nocturne sigil]

[nocturne sigil]

[upper oracle]

few months back, people might've mistook you for a billionaire with those eggs

[nocturne sigil]

LOLLLLL

[upper oracle]

I'm still in the dark about how they managed to reduce the prices so significantly. Really need to look into that

[surreal dust]

locked out half my accounts for the day

too choppy

[urban flint]

What a mess this really is.

[surreal dust]

might just leave one open for the day but dont think I want to touch the rest today

[upper oracle]

Let's see what Market Open brings

[surreal dust]

i will trade the open with 1 account

easier days to trade

[upper oracle]

probably a good idea

[surreal dust]

VIX did drop 15% tho

but lets see

[upper oracle]

the move sizes are brutal right now

[surreal dust]

... when trump responds to china tariffs lol

[quiet turret]

Good idea. I need to take 2-3 trades at open and will do the same.

[upper oracle]

The world is gonna burn

At this point, I think NAS will also reach 16k

[quiet turret]

These moves are easy to trade on 15 sec

[upper oracle]

didn't pay for it 😐

[nocturne sigil]

took rejection for 10 long

[gloomy quail]

Very Nice

[surreal dust]

VIX has dropped 30% now which is nice... still 20% up lol

[lost rose]

thought the news aat 8:30 was gonna be more drastice

[surreal dust]

the move already nulified NFP

[upper oracle]

are any of you really good at mental arithmetic?

[nocturne sigil]

No 1+1 = 11

[lost rose]

this shi about to nose dive aint it

[tribal sapphire]

Melting I am in again

[nocturne sigil]

Don’t have the guts to trade on phone today. Does anyone scalp on mobile?

[urban flint]

Yea we’re not done:(

[neon ether]

@urban flint dunno if you read my message before, am still struggling with getting the Daily Trend (BIAS), or what dou you check to see if its changing, what do you use for it?

[urban flint]

I do

[nocturne sigil]

But for higher TP’s right?

Not like my degen rekt strat?

[urban flint]

Many ways honestly. Neo is good and then osc for liquidity view

[urban flint]

Yea, I’ve more or less stopped doing that

[lost rose]

wheww scalps like this get the heart rate goin

[upper oracle]

that was a close one haha

[neon ether]

thank you, i like osc too but what do you mean for liq. View, you have an example for me?

[lost rose]

yeah but all i had to do was hold but i aint messing arround as soon as i see p im in an out with this market

[upper oracle]

yeah, not worth the risk

[urban flint]

I use a combination involving momentum too, but yea. Let me share a clear example

[gloomy quail]

Sure?

[urban flint]

14th of feb 2024 👍

[neon ether]

you are using double Neo cloud right?

what setting you have there?
and signal i guess longterm?

[urban flint]

Yes, long term daily view. Remove hyper wave. If blue and money flowing in, it’s probably continuing up.

[neon ether]

neo cloud i guess 3 and 5 ?

[urban flint]

You can caution around when the color of the candle change

[nocturne sigil]

we chop unil JP takes the mic?

[neon ether]

ok thx

[urban flint]

3&2

Personal preference

[neon ether]

ok i willl play around with it

i want to work in this way

1. Have Daily Trend
2. Enter in one direction with help of Osc matrix

dunno i recognized when i mix too much stuff i get confused, i guess the simple the thing is i get chance to trade

[urban flint]

Check Mickys streams. He talks a lot about this. Many ways to trade. Find what suits you. But most traders trade in one direction based on a htf bias

He also some very simple ways

[neon ether]

yes i have to start from beginning, i made my life by myself hard

[urban flint]

paralysis of analysis

Easy to do

[neon ether]

yes thank you 🙂

[urban flint]

Check out Smacks comments on mistakes to avoid. One is to over complicate things and over trading.

10 going down, this one was tough, little dd, but got it

i think thats it until after JP

so that $441 cash on mes, good enough for now

☝️

https://tenor.com/view/jerome-powell-fed-jpow-gif-4024490437338895401

[urban flint]

I wish we had a direct line to what he is staying right now lol

I am guessing cut incomming almost immidiatly to rescue this while trump is at the golf course

Will be interesting to see if they halt any trading today to contain

[agile jasper]

this is also what i'm thinking

[urban flint]

They have to. Game changed

[nocturne sigil]

On the 4H, looks like everything priced in?
OH, dont mind all the cluttered scalps

👀

[urban flint]

Haha

I'm short ES

[urban flint]

Yea, bots will do the job

[nocturne sigil]

what TF's your bots on?

[urban flint]

5 min and one is at 15 min

[nocturne sigil]

nice, easy for you then

[urban flint]

I do mostly manual trading, but it helps. Spent about 4 hours yesterday reconfig, so I can take a break

[nocturne sigil]

thats cool

sharing is caring

[viral narwhal]

Anyone using NinjaTrader?

[urban flint]

Anytime man, the problem with sharing backrests is that they only work for a bit. I can put some more in the backrest channel to pin.

Side note, why did I fill up the car with gas yesterday 🤦🏽

[nocturne sigil]

[agile jasper]

[nocturne sigil]

yup, would had been a nice scalp too

Im missing all this

[surreal dust]

Silver was the best trade again

[nocturne sigil]

Peer pressure fomo

[surreal dust]

also pressure myself to trade NQ

want to be the one who tames it

but it tames me

[nocturne sigil]

That’s why I’m slowly moving away from nq

[surreal dust]

😂

[nocturne sigil]

NQ a pia

Skips 50 ticks in a nano sec

[surreal dust]

all locked out now anyway

[nocturne sigil]

Hahah

[surreal dust]

"My colleagues and I remain squarely focused-"

[quiet turret]

🔴 Fed's Powell: The Fed is well-positioned to wait for greater clarity before considering policy adjustments.
🔴 Fed's Powell: It's too soon to say what will be the appropriate path for monetary policy.
🔴 Fed's Powell: It's becoming clear that tariff increases will be significantly larger than expected. The same is true of economic effects.
🔴 Fed's Powell: Tariffs are likely to raise inflation in coming quarters. More persistent effects are possible.
Fed's Powell: The Fed's obligation is to make certain that one-time increase in price levels don't become an ongoing inflation problem.
🔴 Fed's Powell: Most measures of long-term inflation remain well-anchored.

[surreal dust]

oh get stuffed Powelll

we all know you are going to cut the rates

To be fair tariffs are not in effect yet

@agile jasper vwaps kicking ass today

[agile jasper]

[surreal dust]

did you trade today?

[urban flint]

Lots of money being made right now. Perfect storm

[surreal dust]

honestly I thought I wouldn't trade after I missed the big dip

[surreal dust]

tbh i am very excited

[sturdy wharf]

oh shit vix was at 45 today

[surreal dust]

relief rally... and then dip again... = incredible buying opportunity for stocks + crypto..... can make serious life changing money on that next dip down

[agile jasper]

hit daily loss on one propfirm, flipped 2 other prop firms and ran topstep into the grave

[surreal dust]

so I am hoping we get there

[surreal dust]

was really difficult day... i was lucky to catch the silver and NQ trade about 1h30 ago...

[sturdy wharf]

I got lucky on a gold short

and then an es short but the spread was wide and the atr was wild so I got out quick

[surreal dust]

gold and silver were SO good... i wish i shorted silver and gold in my broker account (got too distracted with props)

silver hit a massive rejection high.. and hasn't looked back since

[surreal dust]

yup it is wild

[sturdy wharf]

the atr when I was in was 12 points LMAO

[surreal dust]

i mean on the way back up... fyi 😂

[sturdy wharf]

one mini thats 600 a candle

[surreal dust]

that is standard these days tho no? 😄

[sturdy wharf]

these past two days I guess

yesterday was around a 4.5-5 today is much more chaotic

[quiet turret]

🔴 Fed's Powell: The incoming data through this employment report still shows a solid economy.
🔴 Fed's Powell: The Fed does not have a probability forecast of recession, but outside forecasts have raised that probability.

[sturdy wharf]

wednesday 4
thursday 5
friday hovering around 13 LMAO

[surreal dust]

lol BT explain to me how that works

"Fed's Powell: The Fed does not have a probability forecast of recession, but outside forecasts have raised that probability."

😂

[sturdy wharf]

fed no wanna say it but recession incoming

[gloomy quail]

HOW IS EVERYONE DOING?

[surreal dust]

yeah cause then they have to raise rates

but they acknowledge it is coming from outside sources lol

what a joke

just get on with it man 😄

[nocturne sigil]

10 squeezed out

[sturdy wharf]

yummy yummy rate cutes

[surreal dust]

well actualyl i prefer they wait for the next dip... so we can moon from a lower level

[surreal dust]

always love your charts BT

need to set a chart service to rival @nocturne sigil .... let the fight begin

@spare bloom you degen.... I see you... you can't hide from me 😄

I live in here

i know when you enter and when you leave

[spare bloom]

i was actually away on vacation for a week hahahah

[surreal dust]

oh nice! You having a good time??

[spare bloom]

yeah was great

Hope you all guys survived

Market looks chaotic

[nocturne sigil]

hahahaha

[quiet turret]

My charts dont have any indicators

Just lines and boxes

JP still speaking

[surreal dust]

that is what I love

so simple and super clear

what else do you need 🤷‍♂️

[quiet turret]

Powell need to stop talking. He never has any clear answers.

Always try to be politically correct.

He is done

Now let's trade

[surreal dust]

i dont even bother watching him anymore tbh

ever since he tanked the market that one day

i think he is alot more careful now

[quiet turret]

I think so

[surreal dust]

i dont even know why he bothers to speak at these smaller events tbh

i guess he has to

but nothing ever comes out of them

[quiet turret]

Maarket still stuck

[spare bloom]

He is doing his job ,the problem is the media covering it

if there is no media nobody would care

[surreal dust]

how dare you attack the media Cartia

you are going down

[quiet turret]

He needs to cut the rates now

[upper oracle]

the media is your friend

[surreal dust]

its not Cartia's friend no more

[lost rose]

ES usually dosent move like this right... lol

[spare bloom]

Why would you need a toxic friend

[surreal dust]

[upper oracle]

[surreal dust]

yeah I mean you can't complain when you think of what othjer people have to deal with tbh

[upper oracle]

although I wonder how they see it

[surreal dust]

probably dont think twice about it as it is their reality and they are conditioned to it

[upper oracle]

I used to feel sorry for dogs because they can't see all colors we see. But they don't even care

think it's the same here

[surreal dust]

i mean I am not sure where that is on the comparison chart.... but I take the point 😂

I mean you can care but when you can't do anything about it

[upper oracle]

If you don't know freedom how could you miss it?

[upper oracle]

[surreal dust]

lol

[upper oracle]

I'm from Deutschland

[surreal dust]

oh nice

Love Germany but haven't been for ages

hint

[upper oracle]

Well, I wouldn't go there anymore and just keep the old memories. Is no longer what it once was

[surreal dust]

and rejected

🤣

[surreal dust]

like a lot of places tbf

[upper oracle]

except Monaco!💯

[surreal dust]

yeah i cant afford to live in Monaco lol

[quiet turret]

Most likely GC will end the week in this range.

[surreal dust]

nice spot that

[upper oracle]

sure is expensive. I'm currently saving money to retire there once I become a human vegetable

[surreal dust]

you been trading GC, BT?

[surreal dust]

lol be careful they dont recycle you

[quiet turret]

Yes. Not much luck with it today.

[lament spindle]

where abouts

Im in stuttgart

[upper oracle]

jesus fucking christ

me too🤣

what are the odds

[quiet turret]

Maybe short covering EOD (After 2PM) going into weekend.

[surreal dust]

i missed the move on GC and Silver last 2 days (caught a late silver trade tho today... so at least something)

[lament spindle]

hahah

will have to have a pint at Biddy Earlys

[surreal dust]

stopped in profit

[quiet turret]

-5%

[surreal dust]

and back in

[upper oracle]

drop like a rock

[quiet turret]

You are trading 1 Min?

[surreal dust]

I did this time

working up to your 15s 😅

[quiet turret]

Let's get a braker and recovery EOD.

[upper oracle]

think so?

[sonic idol]

What u guys think about buying some calls for monday and selling at open, a 10% drop surely cant drop further without a slight bounce?

[quiet turret]

When I was looking at your last trade I was thinking I am going to trade 5 & 15 mins next week.

[surreal dust]

it is my prefered timeframe

[quiet turret]

I like it 15 min too.

[surreal dust]

got stopped on that short btw

-130 usd

SL was too tight

[sonic idol]

I think this is a temporary bottom

Could be wrong but i think buyers come in here for at least short term

Like a couple days

[quiet turret]

Trapping both bulls and bears.

[sonic idol]

Is my messages blocked

Oh nm

[agile jasper]

erm don't put SL?

[surreal dust]

hah i wont if you cover my margin 😄

[surreal dust]

i think good chance of a bounce next

but that will be based on where we close today too

[sonic idol]

I dont think it goes too much lower maybe 5.5% tops

For nq

About what it was yesterday

S&p 5% tops

I mean we still got 3h left tho so idk

[quiet turret]

They did not done liquidity grab yet.

Going without it

[surreal dust]

i think everyone is waiting for a Trump response to china

I bet he doesn't do it until after the market closes today

[quiet turret]

That is correct.

[sonic idol]

Well whatever he says will override any trading plan lol

Best to not gamble

[agile jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/pachinko-gamble-slot-machine-japan-japanese-gif-10217136

[sonic idol]

Lol

[quiet turret]

@surreal dust Are you not following 5% rule? Or paper trading?

We can't get to the liquidity level means Bulls are over powering.

[surreal dust]

5% only applies to XFA or live accounts

I didn't find out that until later in the session

this is a combine I am trading on atm

my XFA's are already locked out for the day

[upper oracle]

"Never let them know your next move"

[surreal dust]

trying again for the break down

[lost rose]

damn was a full day of clean trading to then get a swift kick in the nuts an loose 64 percent of that profit

[surreal dust]

ah sorry man

[lost rose]

was feelin myself too

that last green candle fooled me

[surreal dust]

lots of traps

[agile jasper]

curious if we get a market halt today at 17379

[surreal dust]

hmm

[upper oracle]

greedy groovy

[cosmic ember]

You expecting it to still drop

[lost rose]

**stupid

[quiet turret]

Beautiful liquidity grab.

[upper oracle]

oh nonononono... it's just in our nature 😩

[lost rose]

got about half of it back.. not chasin.. just takin scalps

[upper oracle]

there you go

Greed is good

[lost rose]

it was just a bad trade on my part overall

[quiet turret]

Small resistance

[lost rose]

basically at this level i thought we were gonna break out

and took the long and it went right down

all gg

lets see if it breaks through

[lost rose]

need to see a bos on the 1 min if im gonna scalp longs...

not making the same mistake like i just did

[quiet turret]

Wow wild action

[main sorrel]

@quiet turret Are your area levels hand drawn or is that an indicator?

[quiet turret]

Drawing tool

Hourly close coming up

[lost rose]

ahh hesitated and didnt take that scalp

[quiet turret]

Finally reached the target.

[lost rose]

[quiet turret]

[main sorrel]

[quiet turret]

[nocturne sigil]

[upper oracle]

[quiet turret]

Negotiations

[main sorrel]

[upper oracle]

Wonder if it tastes like soap

[quiet turret]

Finally some short covering

5 APEX evals in 2 trades

[upper oracle]

gimme some

[quiet turret]

You can have them

[upper oracle]

wait what?

[quiet turret]

Looks like Bulls run out of gas

16 Min

Will be interesting close

GC

[upper oracle]

think there's gonna be some more covering?

oh wait

you're on GC

[quiet turret]

Open interest on SPX options would tell where they are going to close it

[upper oracle]

man, when I hear that I realize that I'm still missing lots of intel

[burnt tiger]

I need some help on this because I'm so confused as to how my chart is different. Everyone on the news is talking about the Aug 5th 24 daily low of 17,351, but my daily low is 18,087.50. Is there something wrong with my contracts or what because I feel like this is gonna screw with my TA if I'm not in sync with everyone

[upper oracle]

don't click

[upper oracle]

what platform are you on?

[burnt tiger]

TV

[upper oracle]

maybe you and people on the news are not looking at the same asset

Did you check?

or just send a screenshot real quick

[burnt tiger]

My cousin and I are looking at NQ futures. His is with theirs. Mine is not

[upper oracle]

screenshot?

[burnt tiger]

Hang on. I'm doing a paper scalp rq

[upper oracle]

damn, close but nothing happened

[lost rose]

solid day trading... out of those 3 losses 2 of them were only -25 bucks.. the one that hit me in the nuts is where i got faked out and took a -587 but still closed out the day in decent p... looking forward to trading ES more next week

[upper oracle]

show it

PNL

PNL

[lost rose]

lol why

[upper oracle]

because

jk

[main sorrel]

1x micros in power hour challenge. Combine obviously.

[lost rose]

lol here nothing too crazy

[upper oracle]

better than me

[upper oracle]

really is the same... I'd contact TV support to resolve this

[upper oracle]

Could you squeeze some more juice out? 🙂

[quiet turret]

Check continuoud contract switch

[burnt tiger]

It's also scuffed on stocks/options. The lvls are wrong. I'm gonna talk to support

[upper oracle]

@quiet turret been looking at your charting. You basically wait for candles to hit your trendline and then go long/short, right?

[quiet turret]

Correct. Breakout retest wins most of time. Manage your SL.

What time Mr. President speaking today?

[upper oracle]

which timeframe do you do this on?

[nocturne sigil]

Someone say breakout????

[quiet turret]

15 Sec or 1 Min

[upper oracle]

not on my schedule for some reason. Can't tell ya

[quiet turret]

ok Have a nice weekend!

[nocturne sigil]

Who’s crazy to do these TF’s?

They must be nuts

[quiet turret]

Me and you

[upper oracle]

you too mate

[nocturne sigil]

Just give me those tiny scalps any day

Every day

[magic canyon]

1 and 15 minute timeline makes you crazy and see the world like that

I keep on almost being late to work thinking my alarm clock is going to go into a reversal any moment now half asleep

[upper oracle]

dude, what

[nocturne sigil]

👀

[nocturne sigil]

Now what?

What do we do now?

[upper oracle]

[agile jasper]

[upper oracle]

[nocturne sigil]

[nocturne sigil]

[sturdy wharf]

[nocturne sigil]

[nocturne sigil]

Hogs & Cattle ?

Silver flush?
YES, when you see a toilet flush on 4H? DANG!!!!!

Anyone re-living (studying) their trades now? Or Im the only one that's SICK?

[upper oracle]

Lotta toothpicks stuck in colorful candles

[lost rose]

No im sick too hahaha

But what do we do know.. gotta wait a whole few more days

[upper oracle]

Can‘t wait to short the market again, eh?

[nocturne sigil]

these toothpicks today paid for this month's car payment

👀

[upper oracle]

Seems like toothpicks are back in fashion and I need some too

This is the 15s chart right?

Oh no. 1m

[nocturne sigil]

yup

trendlines that help me trade prem/disc of internal structures

today was 1m

[shrewd atlas]

Hello! this is the plan I need for MES and MNQ ?

the last

or the first?

[upper oracle]

Yup, this one

[shrewd atlas]

I m almost ready for it😁

[gaunt moat]

Long wheat since mid March, aka, "How To Beat The Tariffs".

[upper oracle]

nice, how much did you make?

[gaunt moat]

this is long term. wheat is at relative historic, multiyear lows. i'll be in this for a couple years most likely.

[upper oracle]

oh, good idea actually

would've loved to short egg prices when Trump took office but as far as I know there are no Egg Futures sadly

[sturdy wharf]

you legend trading wheat I like them cattle

[gloomy quail]

Hi, eveone. I trust we all had a profitable LUXY week. For the coming week, be diligent in this business by putting more effort in preparation, listen to what your strategy is telling you at a particular time, know when you are tired and take a break, understand that slow and steady wins the race (Pips, Points). Don't look at the profit $$$ that someone else post, concentrate/focus on how much you and your strategy will get for your unique approach. ENJOY THE WEEKEND.

[sturdy wharf]

The time holding onto the trades this week I didnt even realize

6 seconds 463$ lmao

[agile jasper]

had one for 0.06 seconds last week

[urban flint]

I got $1500 in 6min and 9 sec 😂 I guess I suck

[agile jasper]

amateur

[urban flint]

Went back and looked at it and was like. Wow that was fast. I guess I need to improve lol

Rookie numbers

I like Tradovates stats. It’s pretty good. Don’t really have to keep a trading log when you have this. Getting close caca and the account

[agile jasper]

close

[urban flint]

So close I can blow it

Haha

I’m probably going to take less of large trade once live, just to keep that automation drawdown in shape

[gilded tundra]

@nocturne sigil

[tribal sapphire]

Anybody backtesting

[upper oracle]

me

you too?

[tribal sapphire]

Yes.

Done 1.5 month data gotta do 1 year

15min ORB

[upper oracle]

and the results?

[tribal sapphire]

Pretty good. 41% gains. 63% win rate

[upper oracle]

nice

[tribal sapphire]

I started back in 2023

So gonna do till end of 2024 should be good enough data.

[tribal sapphire]

What is your strategy

[upper oracle]

Secret, but it's based on Market Structure

[tribal sapphire]

Understandable.

[upper oracle]

Been using ORB for a couple weeks now and I'm trying to steer away from it honestly

Alongside my usual strat

Honestly, I don't fancy that everyone is suddenly trading the ORB and I think it's gonna be problematic once market makers start interfering

Don't wanna ruin it for you but just a little heads up

[agile jasper]

aka you got rekt

[upper oracle]

would be the logical conclusion but no haha

[nocturne sigil]

Hahaha

We all trade different

One indicator is trash for a trader, but it’s the holy grail for another

Keep pushing

[upper oracle]

would love to know what caca's strat is, but his lips are sealed shut like fort knox

[nocturne sigil]

He mentioned several times and also posted it in the #1128499789437354106
It’s actual the strat that you just crapped on

[upper oracle]

damn

[nocturne sigil]

He does very well with the ORB

[upper oracle]

thought he was secretive about it

[nocturne sigil]

Naw

It’s posted
