Forgot one thing. After price got below 1249.5 you could have moved your stop to even and been reasonably certain you wouldn't get taken out.

There is nothing better than a long term trade that works out. I love it when I can nail a daily support level on the NQ and hold the trade for a week or two. The conditions aren't favoring this...

In retrospect, the double bottom did prove to be support and a rejection of the short. But at this point I can't help but feel like the NQ is paper thin and moving on "fake" news and without any...

It's starting to look like it will be a blow off top right at the election. This is scorched earth trading. Take it right to the limits then kill it off in a blaze of glory.

It had hit all of the intermediate targets I had and was primed for a pull back.

Today is a good example of why I rarely trade the ES. Spent 30 minutes in an ES trade only to scratch.

Made $1750.00 trading crude and NQ in less than an hour this morning.

One word. Movement.

While the ES was trading in a tight range the last week, the NQ was making several quick clean moves for 15 points or more. And the trade resolves it's self much faster.

Can't trade or follow the TF right now, didn't want to pay the fee right now.

Looking at IWM, this is a massive wedge for the last few days. They can be frustrating and expensive to trade:)
