One rule I generally adhere to is to stay out of the opening 10 or 15 minutes of the equity session. It's generally too erratic and filled with whipsaws. Today, NQ began moving strongly before the open. I won a few trades before 9:30 est.) Right at the open there was a fast, strong push up and I decided to jump in a few.
This video is under two minutes and shows some trades I took right at the open. They are all in real time. This has not been speeded up at all.

Nice!

This video shows today's trades with more of an emphasis on the effects of price swings and minor pockets of support and resistance. One thing I have learned is that these price levels, usually not noticed by most traders, can cause big bounces when hit..especially in NQ.

Love your trading style. Quick hits, high win rate. No need to endure large draw downs waiting for the big winner to save the day.

Thank you. When we see some of these instruments move up hundreds of points and then minutes later totally reverse..I don't see how you can hold trades for too long if you aren't position trading. I try not to get too mentally attached to any price direction since they can be so mercurial lately.

Very graceful trading, thanks for posting these. Even though I doubt I could ever mimic your approach, I find it very helpful seeing your thought process navigating a day like this. Seeing where you see momentum vs chop, translating that to my own approach, etc. Great stuff.

Give him the stick.

Don't give him the stick!

I am kind of proud of my trading today. I got in a few very uncomfortable trades and instead of panicking, I held through it, instead. Sometimes you have to make friends with uncertainty and discomfort to progress to the next level.
