I am looking forward to seeing your progress. Hope everything goes well and good luck! You are trading CFD's? Are you able to trade CME futures?

Thanks,

Interesting! Looking forward to your progress!

Is each step on your Plan of Funding another funded account or are you planning on growing the capital that way?

And a bit off-topic: the quote you ended with is from Lao Tzu and his book "Tao Te Ching". The guy from The Art of War is Sun Tzu. I started the Tao Te Ching today, that is why I noticed it.

Hey BlackGrey45

Thank you for the Encouragement Really appreciate it !

yes, I trade CFD's Mainly since most Futures Brokers Do not Support my Country of Origin so I use the CFD's Market to trade.. Nasdaq CFDs have a decent daily Volume with FXCM on Sierra
I did some comparison with NQ-CME for Vwap Calculation and Voulme profile and they are almost identical.

Day 1 Review (Down -2.5%)

a bit of a frustrating start for the Week but it is not the End

Contextually the market gapped up on the open after the pre-market spike so the trade for me was to be long on pullbacks from the recent demand pre spike move and had a target of the Prior Day's high.

being Blinded by the Gap Situation I still sat on the bid even though my target area of interest got tagged and followed by rejection on 12150..but I still went with Gap and Go situation and Tried to Bid Pullbacks on Retest to prior Highs

trade 1) Long of prior highs + OVN H retest+ RTH Vwap = Stop at -1%
Trade 2) Rejection on FS.Vwap + Spike Base on the OVN +Session Mid LVN = Stop -1%
Trade 3) Vwap Retest from Below after Failing to hold a Bid = Stop (0.5)%
Trade 4 ) Reclaim of VWAP With recent Demand Zone Retest +1.5RMFE but was a bit Tilted and didn't Secure anything so I ended up puking at BE. (management Error)

after that Sequence of Events I Really lost my Objectivity and Thought that is it, took a Break and Came back to see the area that was executing on was the middle of the recent balance area at Vpoc which is probably why PA Was choppy most of the session
.
.
From a Risk management standpoint, I did the right thing by not violating my 3% daily risk Rule. the Account Overall drawdown is 12% so being 2.5% down still gives me 9.5% shots to bet if I Remain objective and execute a Favorable R: R Setup.

Plan For Tomorrow $NQ

Still looking to trade to the Upside if the price Remains Above the Weekly Close + Composite LVN At 12000/12025
.
On Friday Bulls Held YTD Vwap on a Retest with 50 DMA .+ Historic LVN at 11900 so Unless the Market Structure on the Hourly and 4 Hours is Broken and leave the Current Balance with Volume Acceptance Lower.. I will still look to Bid Pullbacks...

$NQ Update 28/2/23

after the Close of Yesterday, I Saw one of my Good Setups Showing Potential For another Leg using Measured moves of Fibs to go Down All the Way Down to my Unretested area at 12025/12000 before Resuming the Up move
so I stayed for Globex to trade this Setup

Trade Executed at 61.8% Fib of the Afternoon Impulse leg down that Created a New Low.
Stop Was above the High and Target was at my pre-planned area to long at 12000/12025

Trade hit TP at +2.1% R on limits with one runner left as i woke up i saw that during London the Target hit and as the price reclaimed RTH Low i closed the rest..

now as the Market Rejected I'm kinda Feeling like I missed not playing both sides and placing a limit long too near 12025 but I wasn't expecting to have those two wild Swings Just in OVN Session so it is what it is and boy what a Massive Run

With the Current impulse UP plan for me today is still with the Bullish Bias will look to jump on Board if I get a good Retracement that allows me to Define Structural Risk

Account now at - 0.5% one Win Made up for 2 L's R:R is Such a Magic

now I have 11.5% Shots on the total Drawdown

Have a Great Day Everyone


NQ OVN SHORT INTO SUPPORT
