Yeah tell me about it. I'm used to low volatility because of the Eur/Usd so just looking at NQ in its high volatility state was wild for me. It looks like it's calmed down now though.

Yeah Eur/Usd in 2012 - 2013 back when there was volatility. Although at the time, i didn't do 2b's.

123 and 2B. This is pretty much what we were doing on the euro 5 minute back then for 15 pips. Difference is in the entry point. Thanks for sharing. Gives me a little direction.

I chalk it up to my inexperience with watching NQ prices. I tried taking breakout pullbacks but the pullbacks happen so quickly that by the time i'd get in the market my entry was far from good and was subject to the random 5 point (not tick) swings ...

So today i tried the NQ. Got slaughtered with with a 1 lot. Demo of course. -25% I tried from the 1 min since that's the lowest periodicity i have to trade from the web atm. NQ is fast. Much faster than the E6. Also seems as of late volatility has ...

Spots not bad, it's just not that good either.

Got slipped? Is that a normal thing on 5 contracts?

Looks like you were looking for the retrace. If you plan to trade all day then take a step back when you have a certain amount of trades in and re-eval your outlook. The day evolves and so should your idea. It's easy to get stuck in a trade idea. ...

What kinda trades were you taking? Buying or selling? It just went down, were you trying to go counter trend?

Funny thing, every time i put on a position, i get that feeling too. I've never been able to just trade calm like a robot as some suggest and i'm not trading out sized positions either. It's kinda like how artists say that shock from stage fright ...

I had the moment maybe a year ago. It's only now that i have the time and mind space to pursue without distractions.

I dunno the thread rules but nothing wrong with a little mind speak as long as we all stay respectful. "What you talkin bout Willis?!" Taken from CME NQ Maint 6150 6e Maint 2300 Both get 500 day. Only problem is 6e can be a little snail-ish. I guess ...

To each his own. When i say SD i mean where sellers have overwhelmed buyers and visa versa. Not the stuff with boxes that extend to the right. I bought into that back in the day, but i eventually got past it. With that in mind, i agree with you. I ...

I'll review the charts you guys have been throwin up to see how you've been figuring SD cause its definitely different than how i'd call it in EU.
