Got in around 7pm and let AH work for me.....

​

Up 100 pts so far.....with MNQ. Looking for that liquidity sitting above 780s supply. Was feeling fancy so I longed 2 min( cough).. I mean MICROS....

100 pts for 300 pts or better. 1:2-1:3 rr. 300 pts on MNQ is $1200. A+ long could run another 400ps with new York fuel.

Shorts are cooked

Securing 200pts with one mini

I could add to my position here but I'm just going lock 200pts and see if there is a clean BOS before a pull back......a 400 pt move over night would be nice.

So far I'm up 1:2. One little mini, boring but efficient.

Going to AH do the heavy lifting

I'm in 1 mini.....lots of liquidity to grab on the way to 700s....up 100 pts far with trend. I like the 400pt moves but they take time. Boring but safe.

Scalping fun but can be like dying by 1000 razors in this market

400 pts on MNQ

I left a little money on the table but still caught 400 pts. Today Asia accumulated for the London the mark up and then New York continued the expansion.

Obviously it doesn't always work out like this but the set up was there. The hardest part for me is sitting out and letting the moves develop but the best moves take around 8 hours or more.....in this sense, NQ is set up to retest 780s and look for 30k.....

If you look through my past charts you will see the market structure.

Took some profit.....

Took 10 off and moved to break even......looking for NVDIA to cook shorts after if we close above 130s
30k This week anyone?

u/Illustrious_Dirt_790 — 3 days ago

Secured some profits and moved to break even

Looks like we are moving into accumulation and possible mark up to retest Asia HI....I think Nividia has earnings this week so that would make sense to retest supply at all times highs...at least those are my thoughts...any way I still have 1 contract risk free trade. 600 pts on the day so far.

u/Illustrious_Dirt_790 — 4 days ago

Looking to test demand

I got short after VWAP was rejected during London....Hoping New York liquidity will flush sellside and retest demand. Could be nice set up for longs if New York reversal😎🤙

u/Illustrious_Dirt_790 — 4 days ago

Caught this distribution leg today for 200 pts.....

I'm over scalping NQ. To much chop these days for momentum scalps imo. I try to set it and forget during London and look for a distribution or expansion momentum through NY.

I left some pts on the table looks like it's going to snatch the next liquidity below but I'm over scalping EVERYTHING

2 contracts with MNQ. Risk $400 to make $800. 1 trade and done. 1:2 RR. Sometimes I'll add up to 5 contracts if the momentum is promising.

Don't get shaken out.......

I think the algos are adjusting to traders getting better....or at least it seems that way.

The market and volatility has changed. You have to give yourself room to breath 70 pts during New York session or your going to get smoked even on trend days. Tons of 50+ point pullbacks after false breakouts before structure is broken so you can be right but to early. Sometimes the market will trade sideways during the initial balance. If your position can't survive chop you pretty lost in this market.

Do half sizes and scale into the momentum when it's undeniable has been helping me.
