Thank you for the reminder

[turbid musk]

[main sorrel]

Sitting back this week, want 200 a day to get the checkmarks for next payout. Got it 🙂

[nocturne sigil]

cool

chat tomorrow

I gave up on this short, almost stopped me out at recent high, so moved TP from 15 to +1
Im out

It was the right direct, but took too slow

for me

now it hits

LOLLLL

[split blaze]

Live acc?

[fluid gull]

any prop firms through which you can withdraw daily balance?

[gaunt moat]

if you got a vwap, put the yearly on your chart real quick, then take it off. always helps me. 🙄

[nocturne sigil]

That’s cool
But vwap doesn’t really work for me. I’d rather use traditional moving averages instead.

[urban flint]

Power hour send it hour

[nocturne sigil]

Do you use yearly side by side with your entry chart? Or just add and hide it?

[spare bloom]

can someone open nvdia chart and explain these weird ass wicks lol

in 1 min

[gaunt moat]

if i'm pinpointing an entry, i use ninja and nothing but price, session profile and depth.

[nocturne sigil]

Ninja? NinjaTrader?

[gaunt moat]

yeah; sorry. i'm still stuck in the day where that's all there is/was

this is my entry chart. on it is soybeans. if i'm pinpointing and trying to be exact, i use this to enter. otherwise i'll enter off a TV chart if i'm not trying to be slick.

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah, I was a die hard NT trader, still have my lifetime license, haven’t used in 10 years I don’t think

[nocturne sigil]

Ahhhh

[gaunt moat]

same. i haven't used the desktop client in several years

[nocturne sigil]

TV is just so convenient for me and streamlined in many ways

And if I wanted to, I can integrate with Amp, CQG or NT data if I wanted to

[gaunt moat]

its habit for me. i've spent so many hours on the NT chart, i'd hate to have to learn a new environment.

[nocturne sigil]

I have no choice, I only have MACs in my life, so TV to the moon

[gaunt moat]

i like the NT window; account visibility and give me a view under the hood of my account which is a must.

[gaunt moat]

i'm mac only as well, BUT i got windows machines for trading, and did that exclusively until a couple years ago.

[nocturne sigil]

Nice
My windows towers where chucked out the window from second floor balcony

[gaunt moat]

then i moved to NT.com and ditched the desktop client.

[nocturne sigil]

Oh really? They have web now?

[gaunt moat]

yes; that pic is a screenshot of a web screen

[nocturne sigil]

So I can use on Mac?

[gaunt moat]

you goddamn sure can. i'm doing it now!!

[nocturne sigil]

Jahahaha
So my lifetime license went to shit?

LOL

Or you still need license?

[gaunt moat]

oh no. they still will recognize you, but yes, it did!! on the web, with a lifetime, i think we get more bells and whistles without having to ask. my son is NT as well but not lifetime, and his stuff looks a bit different than mine, particularly with the phone app

[nocturne sigil]

Hmmm
So are all the installed indicators on the local chart app, converted to web?

[gaunt moat]

i'm assuming those are all toast. i've not investigated it but i'd think all the desktop stuff is paper weighty

but, they got indicators, etc.

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah, archaic

What about the web trading DOM? Just as good as the app?

[gaunt moat]

yes. and that's why i made the jump to tradingview and tripped over you guys here at LAlgo

[nocturne sigil]

Loved the old NT DOM with the OCO etc and trails….

Great for bracketing the news for both ways

[gaunt moat]

yep. i was a heavy user of Jigsaw for many years as a solid companion with NT.

as a matter of practice, i'll always get a better entry using my NT chart [that i could replicate in TV, more or less], because it shows me the granular view and forces better trades, generally. i'm not scalping by choice so rarely do i truly need a precise entry but i still do it from habit, most of the time.

Funny we're discussing this. I'm about to remove the old DTN satelite dish off a building where i traded back in the day.

[nocturne sigil]

So you and I are the oldest here?

[gaunt moat]

i'd think so, at least my guess. i've traded since the 80s. actually some trades in the 70s with guidance from relatives. i was around when the e-mini went live and all that, and before, of course. i'm 61 and counting.

[nocturne sigil]

Hmmm
Hahaha

I’m just behind you, if I stretch out my arms, I can touch your shoulder

[gaunt moat]

ah. i can feel the wisdom😆

[nocturne sigil]

AARP?

Jahaja

[gaunt moat]

they sent me a colostomy bag container in the mail as AARP schwag

[nocturne sigil]

What do you actually get worthwhile? Benefits

[gaunt moat]

hell if i know. i've never done it, actually. i'm just old enough.

[nocturne sigil]

Same
Got those mailers but always threw them away as I didn’t see anything valuable to join

Yeah, get 10% for this ONE restaurant that I never heard of

Ok buddy…

[outer maple]

Right there with y'all. I technically qualify for the double nickels chicken dinner discount officially this summer. 🥳

[nocturne sigil]

LOLLLLLLL

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah

[urban flint]

Hm, someone texted me that earlier. What was it?

[hexed grotto]

So todays price action was what I been wanting all month

[frank locust]

might have u beat - started all of this on CME floor in ‘94…I’ve seen it all….

[frank locust]

Oh wait…70’s and 80’s??? You’ve got me beat. 😎

[nocturne sigil]

And there you go
Pit trader rare breed

Tell me something
You guys go for huge wins? Or small tick scalps with multi cons?

[nocturne sigil]

flush this

🚽

[dull locust]

Ever since yesterday @cedar flicker

Thanks again for the help

The comissions are crazy though

😔

[nocturne sigil]

nice

[cedar flicker]

took some time

DXY MOVING UP I WAITED FOR THIS LOL

[dull locust]

this happens every time 😔

[frank locust]

Small wins, hundreds of times a day. Leaned on the paper, got out immediately when it turns against you. Scratch was a win.

[frank locust]

Now, in today’s conditions, where I trade all screen, it’s a hybrid. Get out when wrong, build on winners.

[dull locust]

Scalps work a lot better in choppy conditions for me more frequent wins since it's a little more predictable

It's the displacements that fuck me up

So I just avoid those

80% of the time it's just chop anyway

😔

[cedar flicker]

[nocturne sigil]

Nice
You confirmed what other pit traders mentioned to me in person, and online

Hence my scalps on ES and NQ

[nocturne sigil]

Yup, other retired pit traders are now charting and going for larger wins

[frank locust]

💯

[nocturne sigil]

👀

[frank locust]

Yep. It’s ok to be wrong, it’s not ok to stay wrong. If you’re right, stay right.

[nocturne sigil]

Im not trading now, rarely do outside of London/NY

[hazy wind]

Good afternoon ppls

[glass rose]

Ended up removing TP and letting it run to 5950

[cedar flicker]

[urban flint]

wtf NQ

[carmine atlas]

what kind of strategies do you guys use with the premium indicators for scalping?

[urban flint]

Someone please explain what is going on with Nq

[glass rose]

wtf is going on with futures rn

[main sorrel]

does she dump?

[urban flint]

Seems like no support?

Haven’t seen a buyer in the last 30
Min lol

[main sorrel]

no justification behind this one. Just letting it ride when i go to bed lol

normally i would take that profit

[urban flint]

Yeah, odd one. It just went from a very bullish structure to complete no buyers in a few min. Someone must know something

[main sorrel]

yeah i looked on my phone and saw that weird action. Figured id risk an eval on it overnight

they are coming back in now

good size level here if we dont blast thru it

[urban flint]

This could get ugly if bulls don’t step in

[main sorrel]

Looks to be holding this area, but i dont trust it for upside

[glass rose]

Consolidate to dump more maybe

So many FVGS to fill at low 5900 area

[urban flint]

Nq looks like it broke support

[noble yarrow]

Good morning here

Good morning everyone

[smoky onyx]

did i marked the highs and lows correct? and what about the break of structure?

[smoky onyx]

anyone?

[cosmic ember]

what symbol

[smoky onyx]

what?

[smoky onyx]

anyone?🥹

[cosmic ember]

use this as reference

[civic tiger]

Took a L first then caught the biggest drop last night 300 ticks 1 nq contract🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[civic tiger]

They talk about how most ppl never post their L's yet most of my pics has at least 1 L in it 🤣 nobody perfect. We learn and we grow!

[main sorrel]

? I've got plenty of those

[main sorrel]

Free trade. Will it pass today? 🙂

[agile jasper]

fullport so you get there quicker

[main sorrel]

That never works 🤣

[cinder lichen]

we sort of need a down day

[spare bloom]

after you 👀

so i can fullport the other way

[agile jasper]

of course, anytime!

[sturdy wharf]

is this a flag

or a channel

or two lines on a chart

[agile jasper]

flag or channel same thing

[spare bloom]

it is litrally saying 🤷‍♂️

[main sorrel]

I took profit. Don’t wanna see a rocket back up

[cosmic ember]

i did the same

[nocturne sigil]

10 short

[main sorrel]

I usually get beat up overnight, but managed to half-pass 2 evals before open. Might sit on hands today

[urban flint]

GM

Not seeing anything worth trading yet. Looks to be low volume day

[celest hornet]

[nocturne sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/chiens-funnyanimals-dogs-gif-2680200978484012987

[main sorrel]

lmao I see why you guys dont like trading in tradingview, i totally clicked sell and it did nothing. Had to click twick

[nocturne sigil]

I LOVE trading direct on TradingView
1000000%

[main sorrel]

Do you set limit orders or use buttons?

[nocturne sigil]

Use the actual Trading DOM

[main sorrel]

do you have lvl 2 on the TV dom?

i never used it

[nocturne sigil]

Not the buy/sell n chart
Because the panel is only active on the last panel you click on in TV

that is why sometime you need to click twice on those buttons

maybe this?

[main sorrel]

ive had that as well

but it doesnt recognise clicks sometimes

[nocturne sigil]

then not sure, mine is flawless

[agile jasper]

same

[nocturne sigil]

I have level 2 with Webull connection

[agile jasper]

one short 41 ticks bye

[main sorrel]

Caugh a chunk on the xfa. Im ok with today now

[agile jasper]

tempted to get another one for 41 ticks but who knows

[main sorrel]

Too bad it didnt click twice when i sold that short lmao

[urban flint]

Buy the dip mode engaged

[main sorrel]

I seem to miss the entries on them. PAC has def helped me se those areas better but im still nervous to long. I find quick shorts easier

[nocturne sigil]

so the right side Trading panel does not work for you?

[spare bloom]

you dont need to be nervous just let your sl get hit it is painful but you just gotta keep trying thats how trading work

[nocturne sigil]

@main sorrel this panel on right side

[main sorrel]

it does, i just never used it because the dom doesnt show data like topstep's

[nocturne sigil]

what data?

[urban flint]

GC trying higher

[main sorrel]

in the dom. I thought u meant. isnt that panel the same as clicking the on chart button?

[spare bloom]

qaction signals never miss

that was a great short from 416

market is still slow af

[nocturne sigil]

1o short

[spare bloom]

i might not aiming more than 20-30 points max these days

[urban flint]

You trading this

[nocturne sigil]

same but you said the chart button doest work for you, so try the trading right panel in my screen image

[spare bloom]

yes

[nocturne sigil]

The trading panel right side, is the same data as the chart buttons
confused on what data topstep has that my Webull TV connection doesnt have
Webull has real accurate CME data

TS not on live accounts.

@main sorrel

[main sorrel]

Do you have lvl 2 on your broker connected to TV?

[lyric moss]

wewebl and tradingvies??

webull and tradingvies??

[nocturne sigil]

Yes, I ONLY use integrated brokers on my TV, I trade live on my TV charts
@main sorrel
So if your using TS account, why are you trying to execute on TV?
Im confused? @main sorrel

[urban flint]

@spare bloom hope you shorted that one too

[spare bloom]

i never backtested your gc i only take nq signals

also that one was not a signal

you didnt say you bought

[urban flint]

Man, to be that lovely 🙂

[spare bloom]

gold is going very strong tho

[cosmic ember]

it pumping

[spare bloom]

gc 280-290 possible fade

need to see a rejection

if it breaks that will just go to 300+

scalping that gc short lets go

[honest spindle]

why is gold and platnium going crazy rn?

[sturdy wharf]

[spare bloom]

[lyric moss]

It's very boring today

今天很無聊

What are you trading

大家都在交易什麼

[cosmic ember]

IDK but that was probably the best ive been to for me personally

[low flax]

I am just popping to let everyone know that it don’t matter what a mf say: this price action is stank ass no matter where I go.

[nocturne sigil]

stankass?

LOL

[low flax]

I think the mf ES is coiling for a larger move but after getting stopped out and reading all the damn footprint , VWap, PAC, S&O and OSM.

It’s still total ass.

And it stink because I tried to trade it anyway

This HOE ass ES has stayed in a 3-15 min range and basically ain done nothing. Only Mickey Mystical Degen setup might work but I failed at that too and I just want to vent and huff and puff , sob and gnash my teeth to the gods.

[urban flint]

Boring..

[low flax]

I’m shocked no tweets neither

[main sorrel]

Garbo today

[nocturne sigil]

Look at the recent 4H candles

YUCK

Is this considered STANK ASS?

[main sorrel]

I set a few alerts, we need a huge move for me to even think about touching nq again today

[low flax]

Damn u Micky ! That’s why I’m here. To get realigned. Still pissed.

I been staring at a Depth of Market and footprints all day. You are right I should struggle to see the big picture but still this shit is garbage ala mode

[high sand]

Or you can broaden the green line and its all right 🙂

[low flax]

And yes those recent 4H candles stank and I can’t stand them because they just tall enough to cost me money even with a wide stop on a micro ass

[urban flint]

Yeah what a waste of trading for at least one week

[main sorrel]

ah of course it dumps while im not watching

[urban flint]

Not really

[nocturne sigil]

[nocturne sigil]

Yeah

🚽

[urban flint]

Very frustrating

[nocturne sigil]

Power

Hour?

Yes?

No?

🤷‍♂️

[urban flint]

Im not even sure what the market is doing or have been doing. Its acting very weird

Seems really undecided. Up down, side ways nothing, who knows?

[low flax]

Hoe Ass Hour.

[urban flint]

Lack of participation too

My guess is down, but seems to be no sellers 🙂

At least no sellers enough to make it worth a trade

[nocturne sigil]

Hahahaha

Now it’s Hoe Ass Hour

[urban flint]

Hey, something happened!

I’ll take any move on any asset at this point

[low flax]

And my hoe ass computer crashed. At least I got my money back at broke 250 over break even. I can’t stand this hoe ass howdy dookie ass shit. I’m going to touch grass.

Sorry for the emotions.

Shit pisses me off because I was workin that opening range Strat.

Won‘t be trading for the next 2 weeks

[main sorrel]

@nocturne sigil is there a doc somewhere breaking down the difference between trend catcher and tracer?

[main sorrel]

Nvm found one

[turbid musk]

Have fun. Looks beautiful there 🏝

[nocturne sigil]

but i always see traders on the beach with their laptops.

[nocturne sigil]

The Trend Catcher and Tracer are not the same, just like the catcher and Neocloud, both different
So view the Catcher and Tracer the same as you would view the Catcher and Reversal Zones.
Two completely different overlays.
They only look similar but they are not

So dont beat your self in the head too much to try to compare Catcher and Tracer.
Its like trying to compare Tracer and Neocloud
Just different overlays, thats it

Keep it simple right?

I remembered I said this in one of my streams:

• I dont want to know how a hotdog is made, I just like eating the hotdog.

• I will buy and drive a car to take me from point A to B.
• I dont want to learn how to produce and make the car.

Keep your head on the prize.

[upper oracle]

Don‘t make me sell you a course😏

[nocturne sigil]

LOL

[sturdy wharf]

Micky has a course?

[nocturne sigil]

Wasnt someone here that trades on the beach, he claims?

[nocturne sigil]

LOL, im not YT influencer material

Id rather be locked up in here with you folks

[sturdy wharf]

idk if thats trueeee

[nocturne sigil]

Wellllll, I am here everyday for the past how many years? never missed a day, right?

[sturdy wharf]

thats true you are a menace to society

[nocturne sigil]

LOL

[sturdy wharf]

PAC color candles with the Mean Reversion Bands?

[nocturne sigil]

OH

[vapid gust]

anybody use bookmap here?

[low flax]

Yes I use bookmap

[white oxide]

I tried the free version with BTCUSD and it was nightmare

[nocturne sigil]

👀

[hexed grotto]

You’ll be good with the paid one

[nocturne sigil]

paid always better than free versions.

everything in life for the most part

[hexed grotto]

For sure

[hexed grotto]

For price action concepts
When it prints inverse fair value gaps what’s the difference from a regular inverse? Like whats making the ones printed on pac so powerful?

Me and my friends want to know they’re not on discord

[nocturne sigil]

Whether they are powerful not, this is up to each traders interpretation.
This is just a concept, not an exact rule.
Up to you if you want to place emphasis in IFVG's or not.
Some traders dont, some do

[hexed grotto]

Right I understand that
What I’m basically asking is how come it doesn’t print every inverse
Instead it only prints good ones most of the time

[nocturne sigil]

Only the most recently mitigated FVG will be converted to an IFVG

[hexed grotto]

Ahhhh okay

Only the recently mitigated ones

Got it

[urban flint]

Man, the last few days have been frustrating. Not going my way at all. Just stuck and lack of moves

That includes any system ever developed lol. Does not matter with this price action.

Feels like a waste of time trying to trade losing trades. Without moves

The weekly candle being a small dojo explains how seriously bad it is to trade right now

That’s what we have.

[agile jasper]

trade it!!! we had @grand galleon trading from the beach a few times

[urban flint]

I feel like seriously step away on vacation for a few weeks.

[agile jasper]

i'm in korea for the next 4 weeks

landed yesterday

[urban flint]

That sounds great. I honestly don’t want to waste my time trying to trade something that can’t be traded

I’ll just set a reminder for a trending market on daily and do something else with my time

By far the most frustrated I’ve been in 15 years of trading

I hate range trading with passion, and that’s been the game for many days now. Part of the first year was good, but also fucked up due to just a bunch of complete bafoonery statement reacting the markets

[urban flint]

What are you doing in Korea?

[nocturne sigil]

he is one of the chefs for HK Manila/Seoul bilateral showdown with Gordon Ramsey

Gold. The only thing we can trust going long?

[urban flint]

Well that worked

[dull locust]

Im just scalping, don’t trust much these days

[agile jasper]

waiting to see what NQ is doing maybe i can get a few points

[nocturne sigil]

ok

[agile jasper]

got a wee move

[hexed grotto]

Setting the trade
Then walking away and forgetting about it is the best way to trade
No stress or anything

I can get used to this

[gaunt spade]

You catch anything today?

[cosmic ember]

Oof that’s dangerous

[gray glacier]

Hey guys, I have a small and innocent question… 😅”

I’m using LuxAlgo’s signal indicator, and I just want it to do ONE job –

Just tell me:

👉 Will the next 5-minute candle go UP or DOWN?

I don’t want to check RSI, no MACD drama, no 12 indicators...

Just give me a signal that says:

📈 “Buy now, bro”

or

📉 “Sell it, dude!”

That’s it! Only for 5 minutes, not for 5 years 😆

If anyone here knows the magic LuxAlgo settings
that help predict the next candle’s attitude —
please be a legend and share it.

I’m just trying to read the candle’s “mood swings” like:

“Are you feeling bullish today, sweetheart?” 😂

Otherwise, these candles keep lying to me and breaking my heart daily 💔

A little humor, but seriously — I’d love your help 🙏

[agile jasper]

i wish i had the holy grail

[hexed grotto]

Signals and overlays does this basically

I only go for the ones with signal with the plus

[cosmic ember]

@agile jasper

[upper oracle]

Nah, could never haha. Would feel way too anxious without the usual amount of information

Having someone else trade for me and he‘s been doing well so far

Just hoping apex doesn‘t notice the differences

[livid ravine]

Based on your experience and expertise in trading, should I start with the London or New York session? The reason for this request is to avoid psychological pressure.

[upper oracle]

Asia

Very beginner-friendly

[livid ravine]

Thanks

[main sorrel]

Blew up an eval that was 500 away from passing. So burnt out of this price action.

[spare bloom]

not bad start of the day

[main sorrel]

I swear thats what i saw in my head, somehow the market took me out still

[spare bloom]

it happens i had a bad day like actually last week

3 losers in a row but i managed to recover it by the end was very rough

[main sorrel]

Yeah last week did the same thing to me, was bullish at all the wrong times lol

[spare bloom]

you cant force the market to move your way nothing you can do about it sometimes there is just not enough volume

even if you are right about your levels

[main sorrel]

it hurts to watch this knowing i was long bias at the bottom

[urban flint]

took the same trade for once.

[agile jasper]

so you two bestos now

[urban flint]

LOLLLLLL

I was almost forgetting that until you brought it back into my life

[sturdy wharf]

[nocturne sigil]

lets see what we can do on 15s

I’m just scalping micros. Got no confidence in my strategy longer term than that currently

[surreal dust]

the earlier session was horrible

pre US

[urban flint]

Lots of work scalping in and out but overall profitable . Can’t hold here or expect a trend when there is no trend beside a stalling uptrend.

[surreal dust]

yup that is what did it

[urban flint]

Shorted Nq

[spare bloom]

Nice quick long scalp thanks @urban flint

[surreal dust]

[urban flint]

Megaphone

At least the ranging I broadening lol

A megaphone pattern, also known as a broadening formation or broadening wedge, is not typically considered a bullish pattern in trading. Instead, it’s usually interpreted as a sign of increasing market volatility and uncertainty.

Key Characteristics:
• The pattern looks like a megaphone or an expanding triangle: price swings get progressively wider, forming higher highs and lower lows.
• It typically appears at market tops or during periods of indecision.
• Volume tends to increase as the pattern develops.

Interpretation:
• Bearish Bias (most common): The expanding volatility without direction often leads to a breakdown. Traders see this as a potential reversal pattern, especially when it forms after an uptrend.
• Neutral to Unpredictable: Due to the erratic price action, it’s considered unreliable for trend prediction without confirmation.
• Occasionally Bullish: If the breakout happens to the upside with strong volume, it can signal a continuation, but this is less common.

Trading Tips:
• Wait for a confirmed breakout (with volume) before entering a position.
• Use tight stops, as price swings are wide and can quickly reverse.

In summary, while a megaphone pattern can occasionally break to the upside, it’s not inherently bullish—it’s more a sign of market indecision or instability that requires careful confirmation.

Thanks ChatGPT 🤣

I forgot

[main sorrel]

I saw a thing where people screenshot a chart and pop it into ChatGPT to get direction or signals. Wonder how good it is

[urban flint]

It probably does, it can give you ideas of general strategies. I’ve tried just to see how accurate it is

It gives you very dated strategies however, the strategies that are well documented with indicators almost used on any webpage

Market has changed, so they are are not as good anymore

[upper oracle]

Meh

Tried it. Didn‘t have much success with it

[nocturne sigil]

Whats up?

Nothing to see here 👀

If these charts don't force you to be patient, what will?

[main sorrel]

i actually like it tho

you can see like levels between them

[nocturne sigil]

pick a level for your TSL

🤫

[main sorrel]

Can you link me that madness? I’m interested lol

[nocturne sigil]

LOL

It's currently under further beta testing "Group-A" and "Group-C"

[main sorrel]

What?

[nocturne sigil]

HAHAHA

Joking

im not that scientific

its only 5 sets of Neocloud

1 thru 5

[main sorrel]

Oh lmao here I am looking for a beta channel

[nocturne sigil]

thats it

[main sorrel]

Ah cool I’m gunna play around with that. I’ve had a hard time adding neo to my current chart, kinda too much noise already. That’s clean tho for long term

[nocturne sigil]

and its on 1m the ones I posted

[main sorrel]

Thanks, I just spent a few days making this chart. Prob going to use it a bit first 😛

The lux liquidity sentiment is such a gem i think

[nocturne sigil]

nice, I like how your figured out the screener location, nice job

good use of real estate

[urban flint]

Beauty

That limit order, is like 1 in 100 for me.

It’s true what they say about good traders. They can master some incredible risk reward. Not sure how they do it to be honest.

[agile jasper]

nice entry if you took it

took a quick long and done

nearly got stopped out

damn what a rip

[urban flint]

Yeah , it need to recover a bit first

[nocturne sigil]

whatZup?

[agile jasper]

how many neo clouds are there?

5? lol

[urban flint]

He need more

I think we recover up to that 21300 zone. That was important earlier

Bad short from my side. Should have studied the charts, but it was like a 5dolar trade

I'm just scalping. That's who I am now lol

ATR's been crap these 2 weeks

[urban flint]

I noticed that most futures retraced a bit more than NQ, not seeing the same correction yet.

[urban flint]

yes lol

[agile jasper]

look at last week weds. not even 200 points????

what is that NQ

270 points high to low monday

[urban flint]

That was wild. Should have stepped away or taken smaller targets, which I'm doing now

21 ticks a trade keeps the doctor away

[urban flint]

Yea, this is an example. I would have held above swing high for a normal extension .

Not today on anything. lol

Basically just playing the impulse and leaving too early many times.

[urban flint]

Less time in the market, less risk I guess

[nocturne sigil]

I wonder if this tells a different story on the 4H?

[urban flint]

It does. I notice that too

I mean the MF and the HW is still trending down with no buyers, but it's very slow start to a stronger correction if that's the case

ES looks more in line with correction

At least a retrace

This guy, way worse.

I don't see a massive drop yet, which I know we all are hoping for

What's the news?
