[surreal dust]

just above

on ES

on NQ we quite far over it actually

ran into the current year mid point on NQ

not a bad place to flip lol

just wicked into it

going to be super interesting to see if we are above / below on the close for some of these levels tomorrow

[urban flint]

Right. I agree

[upper oracle]

Called it!

Man, I'm a genius

[urban flint]

Famous last words

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-busters-who-you-gonna-call-entrance-gun-proton-packs-gif-5407839

waiting for this next 30 min close on crypto so I can go zzz

[lost rose]

bro i thought u were loggin off hrs ago!!!

[upper oracle]

I know I'm fucking lonely. You don't have to remind me

[surreal dust]

haha ended up playing a game online with some friends and was chilling

and then checked in to see how my google call option did

now checkign charts for tomorrow.....

see @urban flint had the same idea

[lost rose]

am i dumb to be anticipating shorts if we get a bos on this 15 min time frame?

[upper oracle]

I'm waiting for it to build out to confirm but just closed a long

[agile jasper]

longs are good i thikn

[surreal dust]

test of the wick highs

and then maybe down

would be nice

[lost rose]

yeah thats what i was thinkin.. when do you enter tho.. do you have a confluence or just go with trend line etc

[surreal dust]

I am already in

[lost rose]

ahh damn!

[surreal dust]

i fi get taken out I will go to bed lol

[lost rose]

ahh ur long

[surreal dust]

if it hits tp I will go to bed

all roads load to bed ... 😅

trying to scalp my 500 a day account

and get ahead of the trend

🫠

[lost rose]

u g

[surreal dust]

so little volume

might just go to sleep with the SL in profit tbh

need a 1 min breakout soon or I will lose interesting lol

[agile jasper]

don't think i'm getting a pullback to 400s on NQ for an entry

wanted a vwap touch initially but never got it

[surreal dust]

y eah i think 460 and then reject and down for the asia session

maybe

who knows

would like up 460 down Asia / UK early to 300's and then long it back up

😄

for when I wake up in 6/7 hours

[agile jasper]

or will i get tapped?

[surreal dust]

yeah I am done for now .. will top up the other 300 in the UK session 😄

[surreal dust]

gl and gn 🙂

[urban flint]

Such a good area to just long any dip for now

[agile jasper]

got my 200

bye

[sonic idol]

Good trade idea

[urban flint]

Took it

[agile jasper]

good. i took longs at 400 for a hard 10 points tp

needed only 5 points to secure a payout tomorrow but i got another 5 points bonus

[urban flint]

They keep buying so it’s time to hold

[agile jasper]

how is your topstep journey or you don't want to have a dialogue about that? @urban flint

[agile jasper]

vwap at 400. i would look for an entry on it for a new high TP

[urban flint]

Pretty automated. I don’t really have a lot of time to manually also trade that on top of cash.

I have not taken any payouts.

[agile jasper]

damn son

[agile jasper]

you're not yet eligible are you? 5+ $200+ days

[urban flint]

I am, just have not wanting to cash. That removes the drawdown it seems?

I need at least a 5k swing on the account to avoid that drawdown and closure of account

I should probably play it more, but it still feels fake to me. And what I mean is that I only paid 149 + 149 to have an account

[agile jasper]

what's the account size? 150k?

[urban flint]

Yes

[agile jasper]

fake until the cash hits your bank

[urban flint]

Don’t tell my wife, she finds a way to spend it

[agile jasper]

ok well if your account gets to $0 that's it gone.
if you get a payout, your DD moves to $0 by default - so nothing changes in here (you will have a smaller cushion, but you can take out the investment i suppose?)

[urban flint]

I submitted some papers to be eligible, so I think I can

[agile jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/genie-zipped-mouth-aladdin-disney-secret-gif-1178415092816874843

[urban flint]

Yeah, I saw that note when I got excited. I think 30 days is better than take a portion

[agile jasper]

damn your auto is doing really well

jealous

[urban flint]

I need that flex similar to a real account

Yeah, I think I’ve found a way to at least do it well on NQ.

Gc is good too, but have been lagging this week

[agile jasper]

share it with the class when you're ready

[urban flint]

I will for sure. It almost need a howto to be good. Kind of like I do this, test it on a condition then automate it until the condition changes. It’s not one setting and done.

[agile jasper]

i want the full package: auto, access to your server so i can put my login details, fine tunning by you, X, Y and Z

thank you 🙌

[urban flint]

I need to type it up so that people don’t just apply it then get lost into why it didn’t work now

[agile jasper]

if there's more i'll add to the list

[urban flint]

It would almost need a 15-20min video to explain the thought process. But when I do that, it would make a lot of sense to especially those who backtest a lot

[upper oracle]

Starting to question my life decisions...

should've just taken the 20 and now there's a Rising Wedge🫠

[agile jasper]

LMAO YOU SERIOUS

[upper oracle]

cool

hell yeah

[agile jasper]

not on my watch

honestly zero respect

[upper oracle]

These people... just don't understand their reasoning...

[agile jasper]

add another 5 micros at 400's

[upper oracle]

thought you were gone for the day?

[agile jasper]

not financial advice

[agile jasper]

i was never

when did i say i'm gone?

[upper oracle]

something about getting your 200 and leaving, if I recall correctly

[tawny edge]

Good evening friends, I'm really undecided. Could you help me? I don't know which indicator to use. I prefer scalping.

[urban flint]

As you can see up above I have scripts for different conditions.

[upper oracle]

I'm about to crash out...

[agile jasper]

oh leaving = not touching trades but i am still here trolling

[upper oracle]

ahhh. That seems healthy

[agile jasper]

damn that was ruthless

[main sorrel]

Sharing is caring

[urban flint]

Here's the one I since Feb 18th when I marked the short condition.

It's not this easy as it seems, lot's of testing and conditions and understnading the bigger picture to even get close to those results.

[main sorrel]

Those are nice settings. is that Pac or S&O ?

[urban flint]

But if you know the general direction, you probably can increase your winrate

[urban flint]

Pac

[upper oracle]

I know the market doesn't care about you but sometimes it really feels like it does haha

[agile jasper]

really depends on your style
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-o4jJcQfF4 - this is S&O
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuEaLfeiz20 - this is on PAC (an old one, but the same concepts are there)

also, check out #1199356285813006367

[agile jasper]

OK ICT YOUR STOP WAS THE TARGET

[main sorrel]

@urban flint what hours do you run your auto?

[urban flint]

For NQ 03:00 - 14:30PM EST

[upper oracle]

Then I just have to change it up so they can't hit it. No Stop Loss from now on

[urban flint]

It's so stupid, I wish I could just share the script. I just need to replace one of the external steps with a lux inidator. I just have not looked around or played with it. Once I do, I think trend catcher could do exactly what I do with the other indicator. I just want to make sure everyone could use it instead of trying to get other closed sourced indicators, which basically do the same thing as I use this one for.

[main sorrel]

Let me know if you get around to it. Ive been hooked on the auto stuff this week.

[urban flint]

I will take a look at it this weekend.

[turbid musk]

1 win long
1 loss short

So far

Gave up trying to short

[urban flint]

As you know, it require a lot of work and it takes time testing conditions.

[agile jasper]

@upper oracle hello

another 5 micros at 400 took you to 424

[upper oracle]

I did take that one though

[agile jasper]

oh did you

good

[upper oracle]

But tp at 414

[agile jasper]

follow me for more financial advice

[upper oracle]

Saving a little screenshot of that just in case...

[lost rose]

Bouncin off that 388 level

[upper oracle]

still going at it?

[lost rose]

Hahah bro I’m just waiting at this point don’t wanna long in this premium need some breakout

Looking at 15 min

[upper oracle]

understandable. Not necessarily attractive atm

[urban flint]

Quick 200

[upper oracle]

And the random pumps kind of put me off

[agile jasper]

👆

[upper oracle]

Did, but first time set the TP too high, second time too low

Shit's depressing

[urban flint]

Pretty wild rally really

[agile jasper]

agree

[urban flint]

Almost 1000 points

[agile jasper]

not much happening tomorrow so maybe another zombie rally to 20k?

[upper oracle]

very likely

[agile jasper]

around 550 points daily, we used 120 points already. a small squeeze and we can get 20k

[upper oracle]

It's so close, people should already be able to taste it at this point. Gap fill would be about 1k. Would be adventurous if we go that way

And as always

No financial advice

[quiet turret]

Beautiful long trade. My longest hold of the year.

[urban flint]

Took one more

[upper oracle]

got 500 of that random ripper😁

[agile jasper]

sick push

[upper oracle]

Finally no longer red on Asia

[agile jasper]

gg on who was in

[urban flint]

Money flow is going overfloow to overflow 🙂

[upper oracle]

damn, how long is that?

[quiet turret]

20 accounts long each 2NQ

[urban flint]

Feel like just moving stoploss and step away

[quiet turret]

Entered 15 mins after open. Almost 2:45 minuts.

[urban flint]

19879 would be the heavy target

not now, but maybe tomorrow?

[quiet turret]

19843.25

[upper oracle]

what's the math on that?

[urban flint]

OB?

[agile jasper]

just random numbers he typed

nothing fancy 😂

trading is just a numbers game

[upper oracle]

"sometimes I don't even look at the charts"

[quiet turret]

fib level

[upper oracle]

I see you've seen that stream haha

[urban flint]

LFG

Love this type of after market action

[agile jasper]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[quiet turret]

Took profit. Will look for re-entry

[urban flint]

I think it's time too

Stalling a bit here and are extended.

Still got my SL right at it

[quiet turret]

Market structure will be completed at 493.75 according to my calculation'

[cinder lichen]

apparently i missed some decent entrys

[urban flint]

Alright squeeze higher

[quiet turret]

It is only going up buy the deep kind of market

[urban flint]

No reason to short here or even on retrace

you need the trend to turn on HTF now to do that.

Added

[quiet turret]

Stop buy entry again

[urban flint]

Same

Alright.

And done lol

Fake out

Too extended

Heading out for a beer to buy the dip later

[gaunt moat]

ongoing swing in soybeans. scaled in three days ago.

[urban flint]

and that right there.. is why you have a stoploss lol

[quiet turret]

I added

[cinder lichen]

i got in too late

i shorted, try and recover a little bit of loss, lets see how it goes

[quiet turret]

Little bit too much selling. After all it is Asia trading time.

[cinder lichen]

just opened right?

I flipped timezones 4 timezones this afternoon and that always messes me up

[dense trail]

Does anyone fully automate their strategies here with LuxAlgo and let their alerts trade live or with prop accounts? I've seen people start doing that with other indicator providers...

[cinder lichen]

i'd love to do this personally

[upper oracle]

What do I need automation for if I already am a machine?

[urban flint]

Do a Micky, draw a trend line and when it closes above that, take a long

[upper oracle]

I'm so humble

[cinder lichen]

true, and the human factor can prevent errant automation trading random stuff

[upper oracle]

Nah, Automation can be cool but never forget to monitor it. Personally I don't do it because I haven't learned that much yet

[cinder lichen]

I never found tradingviews alerts to be that great

[dense trail]

Gotcha

[cinder lichen]

I also don't understand them that well

[upper oracle]

I don't even know where these alerts are at mate haha

[cinder lichen]

like having it pop up a bell or something, i tried it with webhooks the last time

[upper oracle]

so basically it rings you when predetermined conditions are fulfilled?

[cinder lichen]

when it meats certain critera

a certain linear regression band is crossed

a certain MA is met

[upper oracle]

I think I'd just get very annoyed by the notifications

[quiet turret]

Got stopped out

[cinder lichen]

i haven't had luxalgo long enough to know if you can set alterts when smart trail flips bullish to bearish

[quiet turret]

Will look for re-entry

[cinder lichen]

lord I can't type this evening

[upper oracle]

best to ask micky or caca about that

[cinder lichen]

not worried about it now, i need to learn how to use it first

lol

[upper oracle]

ahh, gotcha. Makes sense

[cinder lichen]

gotta know what to make alerts for right?

[upper oracle]

I'm a step behind. Need to maintain my profitability first for now. Then I can look around for more worlds to conquer

[cinder lichen]

I want to reach my goal first

[upper oracle]

1k?

[cinder lichen]

yup

[upper oracle]

where are you at atm?

[cinder lichen]

yesterday i blew that away

today i'm at 72.00

[upper oracle]

72 pnl? Account size?

[cinder lichen]

50k

oh i'm at 51571

1500 from yesterday, 71 today

[upper oracle]

I have a feeling you're a more risk-averse person. Is that so?

[upper oracle]

scratch that. I misread

[cinder lichen]

oh i take risks, I trade with 50,000 real money

not just prop firms

[upper oracle]

that can be a cause of risk-aversion

After all, it's real real

[cinder lichen]

I buy options with real

futures, I don't feel like I have enough buying power

like SDOW, SQQQ, SPY

[upper oracle]

well, they require a good amount of margin to get a sizable position. Especially overnight

[quiet turret]

Will keep the tight stop

[cinder lichen]

I like options better at times, I swing back and forth sometimes

[upper oracle]

Heard may people say that recently. How long do you usually hold them?

[cinder lichen]

maximum of 2 weeks

rarely execute, usually split 90/10, 90% back in, 10% into savings

[urban flint]

Back long on another account

[upper oracle]

but no 0DTE degeneracy?

[quiet turret]

I have sold some options expiring tomorrow.

0DTE

sold at closing today

[cinder lichen]

no rarely... maybe once

just because it was above my PNL percantage ratio in that day, like the NQ was down 1000 points, my SQQQ calls were up crazy, so i sold them the same day i bought them

I don't count that really as ODTE

they had a week to expire yet

[upper oracle]

well, it isn't. Just manually sold on same day

[quiet turret]

ES options

[cinder lichen]

this was the day in question

[upper oracle]

Saved some videos to a huge playlist I'm going to binge tomorrow

[upper oracle]

man...

The numbers on that are so deliciously juicy

[cinder lichen]

yea,

my girlfriend (now my ex) wanted me to spend it... why she became my ex

[quiet turret]

Moved SL in profit

[upper oracle]

almost sounds to me like you hedge. Is that the case?

[upper oracle]

just because of that?

[cinder lichen]

you know I have no idea what you mean by that

[upper oracle]

nvm then😂

[cinder lichen]

I just see something in the high time frames and it gets my brain working

[upper oracle]

so there's also an intuition aspect in trading to you?

[quiet turret]

Ok stoped out in profit. Make up your mind Asia.

[upper oracle]

you're asking for the impossible

[quiet turret]

Good scalps though

[cinder lichen]

Yea i'd say so

[quiet turret]

What I do the best scalping

[cinder lichen]

i might be totally full of it

[upper oracle]

what do you mean?

[cinder lichen]

I might need pysch meds and be totally crazy lol

[upper oracle]

well, you see it similarly to me, so might be a cause for concern haha

[cinder lichen]

well i'm glad someone else see's things like I do then

cause i've questioned my sanity sometimes, like when i bought shares of MSTR at 90$ a share

I was like this isn't going up...

[upper oracle]

ok, that one's a little too insane😂

[cinder lichen]

if you saw how crazy

you'd think I was mad

can I dm you?

[upper oracle]

but yeah, there is definitely some intuition to it that stems from experience. Of course there's always a probability that you're wrong but such is the curse of randomness

[upper oracle]

sure, go ahead

[cinder lichen]

I guesss the NQ is going to bob up and down all night

[upper oracle]

Reached end of structure and Asians don't tend to like to lead

Will have to wait for London

[cinder lichen]

i'm 300 off from qualifying 5 topstep accounts too

[upper oracle]

well, just don't get flustered

just continue like usual and make sure of it

[cinder lichen]

I'm playing solitare

[lost rose]

yeeww that was me yesterday and now i gotta make 1k lol

[upper oracle]

dude, you're going to jinx it😂

[cinder lichen]

i play solitare and freecell to try and take the edge off or do some boring task

[upper oracle]

seems reasonable

[cinder lichen]

I thought someone said something about playing C&C

[upper oracle]

Usually watch some educational videos or listen to some very base-heavy music

could be caca or Achilles

[nocturne sigil]

You guys still here?

[cinder lichen]

you said follow the leader and I was thinking nirvana

[nocturne sigil]

👀

[upper oracle]

ofc. You too?

[nocturne sigil]

It’s only 7pm my time

[upper oracle]

Isn't it bedtime?

ah shit

4am over here

[cinder lichen]

germany right?

[upper oracle]

Yes

[cinder lichen]

I've got a friend in the UK

are you another hour ahead of them?

[upper oracle]

yup, should be 3am for them rn

[cinder lichen]

I have to start some new fangled medication tonight that seems like its a pain in the ass to take

[upper oracle]

what's it for?

[cinder lichen]

Narcolepsy

It helps you stay asleep so you don't have problems during the day

[upper oracle]

yeah, that seems like it will have some downsides

but hey, in return more awake during the day

[cinder lichen]

its actually not that bad. I was on a similar medication, this is just a powdered form of it you have to mix at night

its just more steps, the other one was easier

[upper oracle]

there's the downsides haha

Although not the kind of downsides I thought of

[cinder lichen]

true

[upper oracle]

well, not getting this shit done tonight. Need to get some support there tmr

Gonna hit the sack

cya at open

[cinder lichen]

cya

[urban flint]

Small trailing scalp while waiting for next long setup

[lost rose]

waitin for price to come back and tag me in to ride down a bit

take out the other liquidty and se it pump in am

[civic tiger]

On 1 again 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[lost rose]

holu shit

[quiet turret]

Entered long befor the pump. Got lucky.

Looking to add.

[lost rose]

hmm why not short?....

thought that was just liquidty grab now time to break down for real

just a thought

[quiet turret]

Taking only longs at this time.

Expecting short covering in Asia and UK.

[nocturne sigil]

You guys and gals still up?

👀

[lost rose]

still early for me

lowkey have been waiting long time for this set up so gotta see it through '

[quiet turret]

Beautiful long trade

[lost rose]

alll my stuff lined up i took the trade but price just sent up smh

[quiet turret]

YM better option for long than NQ at this time

[lost rose]

yaa i just blew my eval so theres that.. damn i lieraly waited since 3pm to get a BOS and enter off the 5 min fvg it picked me up but just kept goin ever since hurts more because i wanted 8 + hrs

[turbid musk]

Need this monitor for trading

[quiet turret]

It's beautiful setup

Beautiful reversal from my level.

Beautiful long scalp

[upper oracle]

wider than Kim Jong Un

jesus

gm boys

[turbid musk]

Ya ever since I stayed up to trade asia

Now harder to sleep

Tomorrow is Friday, no asia trading tomorrow

🫨

[upper oracle]

it's friday theeen

it's saturday sunday WHAT

you know the song?

[turbid musk]

So I just stay up 4 nights of the week.

I think so. I have probably heard it before. 1:21am est here.

👋💤

[upper oracle]

aight gn to you

[surreal dust]

SUIII

more please :d

[upper oracle]

that crypto bro again...

[surreal dust]

yup

[upper oracle]

EAT THE RICH!!!

[surreal dust]

added more into my position

so good right now

very blessed with that trade lol

[upper oracle]

that was a fabulous play

How much up right now?

[surreal dust]

low 5 figures

[upper oracle]

percentages

[surreal dust]

ah well it dropped

cause I added more

[upper oracle]

400?

[surreal dust]

easily over 1000% from original position

i have added in about 4 times now

[upper oracle]

worse things to happen than a +757 haha

[surreal dust]

I am not complaining lol

[upper oracle]

happens. It'll be worth it once it goes up

[upper oracle]

I know that the greed in you dislikes the missing fourth figure on the percentages

[surreal dust]

haha who doesn't like round numbers

[surreal dust]

I am holding some bangers right now tbh

[heady solar]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-angry-angry-batman-gif-1221331222893252006

[surreal dust]

got 5/6 trades on equal or better footing

was so lucky to reenter the market before the major pump

[upper oracle]

got a feeling you're on a run right now

only wins and maybe one small loss

[surreal dust]

same story really..... do the work / timing / perseverance and some luck

[upper oracle]

Ah, you up too. Sup mate

[surreal dust]

pays off eventually

lets see if ES pulls up NQ now

[upper oracle]

already up about 300

FROM ASIA

now that's a flex

at least for me

[surreal dust]

yeah that is great

think i may burn out today

so going to take it easy pre market lol

[upper oracle]

tired?

[surreal dust]

yeah

was managing crypto positions late night and early morning again

i entered some new ones yesterday

[upper oracle]

money never sleeps

[surreal dust]

ETH i keep scalping in and out

trying to catch a break out / protect myself from a big drop lol

looks like SOL is finally breaking out tho which is great

[upper oracle]

very surprised that eth is still moving with solid strength

then again, there's a reason

I don't trade crypto because I don't really understand it

[surreal dust]

eth is just lagging

hoping we see an uptrend here but we will see

[upper oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/wows-wolf-of-wall-street-gif-22980690

[surreal dust]

alts need ETH to push up anyway

to keep the run going so their fates are intertwined ... as is most things

[upper oracle]

ahhhh

many alts based on Eth, right?

[surreal dust]

a decent amount

but there are so many eco systems now

[heady solar]

Can I just ask why futures and not fx and gold?

[surreal dust]

but yeah ETH and SOL the biggest

[heady solar]

Genuine question

[surreal dust]

there is a alot of commodites trades in here

[upper oracle]

PA

[surreal dust]

... the title would probably be too long

😅

[celest hornet]

so um

whats nas lookin for yall

[upper oracle]

that's why I stay away. Too much new stuff that I don't really understand. Becomes really messy and then I startto feel stupid

[upper oracle]

pushing forward!

[surreal dust]

tbh i used to tried everything

and that is blackhole

now I focus on around 10 alts

[celest hornet]

im honestly seeing a potential scalp for a drop rn

[upper oracle]

in other words to the Right at some angle that I can't determine as of yet

[surreal dust]

10-15 are on my watch list and I dont stray out of that

[surreal dust]

alot of chop for me... just going to wait

or maybe I am tired... which also means take it easy today lol

[celest hornet]

true

gold looking cleaner to me so fuck nas for now

[heady solar]

Where would be a good place to have a look at futures, I like the look of some of the prop firms - apex etc

[upper oracle]

probably for the best. Not so many eco systems, etc etc to look at when you specialize in a few

[heady solar]

Waiting for a short on xau

[upper oracle]

well, you can check out prop firms like Apex, mff, takeprofittrader, tradeify, topstep, etc

Pick whichever fits you best

[celest hornet]

yeah brother i been taking scalps up on gold its a little risky but its so fucking clear rn im just taking advantage

[heady solar]

Which futures do you think? To start with

[heady solar]

Yes, yesterday was easy on gold haha

[celest hornet]

going for half atleast for this candle or fully

[upper oracle]

Didn't test that many yet but NQ and ES is always a good goto imo

[heady solar]

Ok thanks mate 👍

[upper oracle]

ES is a little smoother, NQ is a little more brutal

[surreal dust]

nice call

[upper oracle]

hope he caught that

[celest hornet]

yeah i pussied out but i seen a bos new high and fvg with momentum

ifvg as well

was looking nice but nas has been fucking me up today so i did not want to rock with it

[surreal dust]

yeah understandable

[upper oracle]

if you don't feel comfortable, get out. Nothing wrong with that

[celest hornet]

yeah yr right but i should have more conviction in my trades

@heady solar potential short on gold?

[upper oracle]

find a balance by just putting your SL at a point where you'd think it will reverse if it hits

[harsh wyvern]

GM people

[upper oracle]

sup mate

how's it going

[harsh wyvern]

Yeh not bad, yourself? Just sad i didnt get in on the upswing

[celest hornet]

appreciate the tip bro

lmk if u guys could give me some insight on gold like to hear others opinions as well

[upper oracle]

will be a lot more opportunities haha

Tired. Wanted to sleep but couldn't so I'll have to compensate for that before ny open

might be a good time rn. PA is shit. Cya later

[celest hornet]

wtf is gold doin lol

[surreal dust]

wow the wicks

just dropped the kids off

called it

[cinder lichen]

think its going to be a weird day on the market

[surreal dust]

yeah uinless we break out of where we are

this area is bad

[vagrant plank]

Hey futures traders - I wanted to ask if any of you have a favorite indicator for avoiding excessive volatility at market open? I've found one called "Scalptool R1" which i've found to be my favorite recently, but wanted to see if anyone uses something similar that they would recommend.

[cinder lichen]

I just stay away from trading for the first 15 or 30 minutes... I've been rekt so many times its not really worth it to get blown up 15 minutes

into a trading day

[vagrant plank]

for sure

[cinder lichen]

but to each his own

everyone trades in a different way

[vagrant plank]

yeah - yesterday i waited for it to calm down and got fudded out by the purely bullish trend all day

[agile jasper]

trump speaking

[cinder lichen]

oh boy

[knotty hull]

I just started back testing the Open Range Breakout Strategy. I am now using this alongside the “opening range with breakout and targets by LuxAlgo” indicator. So far back testing it is pretty accurate.

[upper oracle]

O HELL YEAH

Dedicated one apex account for this strategy

[nocturne sigil]

my PAC structure entries, with my sticks are not a good R/R, its a negative R/R, I am counting on a higher WIN%
But the losses are like about 6-20 ticks, and my wins are hard TP 10 ticks, but high win%

• So dont do like me, LOLLLLL
