7840 just hit. Left 16 ticks on the table... I hope these couple of posts have given some sort of insight into how I trade the NQ. It is a sort of swing trading price action style, accepting wider stops and taking wider targets. The challenges I ...

Stopped for -8 ticks, but I am taking another stab at this setup. Long again @ 7823. SL @ 7819. TP open. Trendline needs to break.

Plan the Trade

A couple of nice moves today already. My goal of a more consistent approach today has been successful. This is the time I just need to close down the laptop. 4 trades, 3 wins, and only 1 small loss. +52 ticks.

Currently holding a long position. Curious to see if we can break into the 7750's before the bell rings. Edit 1: SL @ 7738,50. Edit 2: SL hit. I am okay with the market coming back like this, just a part of my style. -3 ticks.

NQ looks a bit toppy this morning with two attempts to push higher. I would like to see a pullback to 7720-7715 area for a potential long position. My goal for today is to focus on patience and consistency.

One last win of the day brought me to +140 ticks and sneaking just above 35% win ratio today. Appalling but as long as the avg. win is more than double the avg. loss, its all good. Feel like I could have done even better today.

I had a very good day, but I could have done even better. Ended up with +140 ticks. There was great price action and once the market gained momentum, it moved up nicely. Wish all days would be like this.

+133 ticks so far today. A really poor win ratio of just 30%, but I had a large winner from down at 7685 to 7705 that made up for all the small losses. Would like to see a pullback to 7690-ish area for a potential long trade.

NQ has shown some really interesting price action lately. 7665 was the 50% fib from the 7600 low to the 7730 high. Notice the beautiful pin bar that started the current correction.

This was the setup I took. Can go on an early Easter break now :-)
