Got a reversal print on YM and NQ. Nice confluence.



Might have to have a play with Equities soon.

Nice! I was watching a longer timeframe chart trying to build a system that allows trades to run longer. Should have taken the long around 7403 but the day is young.

What time frame you preferring right now?

Early morning (for me) when the markets are really slow the 50 tick provides some decent action. As we get closer to the market open in the U.S., the 500 tick and 1000 tick seem to provide really good longer term trades.

50 tick is fun to watch during the market open. It's like watching a movie on fast forward.

Here is the 1000 tick from yesterday

Keeps testing VWAP and keeps getting rejected. Tough to take a long where price is now with VWAP just above it.

Two additional small profitable trades. Total is +50 on the day. Still a bunch more trading to go.

Made a small change to my entry signals and I am getting much cleaner and more believable signals. Gets me in earlier than waiting for price to pass a swing high or low.

Here is what the changes to the entry signal look like:




Much cleaner. No real excuse to not take them now.

Narrow range when you look at it on the 1000 tick chart. Especially when compared to yesterday. You almost would expect a day of consolidation after a wild ride like yesterday.




Looking for another trade set up if it happens. Not going to force it. Ranging pretty tight right now on the 200 tick chart. Bouncing off of VWAP line.



Maybe there will be another mad rush at the end of the day. LOL!
