MNQ Journal

[ChowClown]

I'm done for the week. Tried a different MM approach today.

 

[ChowClown]

No trades so far today.

Busier at work these past couple of weeks but had time to focus on the chart coming into the session today. Decided to go for 1R scalps to be done before the next round of zoom meetings :/.

 

[ChowClown]

..a down session for me so far and heading out soon so won't trade again today. Until next week, won't be at the chart tomorrow.

NQ - took advantage of the pre-market momentum, short for +117T. No more for me today.

 

[ChowClown]

took a post news long pre-market for 1R (+114T). Like being done for the day with one trade atm, need to take a bit more initial risk but if the win rate keeps at the same level it works.

 

[ChowClown]

Used MNQ today to try out a different money management approach to the NQ 1 contract in and out i'm used to. 2 trades, 5 micros in, 3 off at 1R, 2 runners. Encouraging.

MNQ - London session. The setup was there this morning (UK), price moving a little more than usual during pre-market, so took the risk. 5 micros off at 1R, the rest off near a likely daily support level. Good trading today, All.

Edit: MNQ, trade #2 - short, with 5 off at a previous daily level and the rest off at the RN.

I took a look yesterday but saw there was no 'red' news before the talking heads later in the session and so from previous bitter experience of trying to trade days like that, decided not to get involved.

Took a short (NQ) earlier for b/e and another closed just now at a 1R target.

 

[ChowClown]

NQ - another premarket 1R long. That's enough for me today.

 

[ChowClown]

NQ - should really have waited for the fomc jaw wagging to finish but got involved and struggled. The last trade made up for the previous loser and b/e's, so will quit while i'm ahead and see if things start to move better later.

 

[ChowClown]

NQ - 2 shorts in the first hour, 1 cb/e, the other +91T. Will wait now for the next MA cross or pull back into the MAs.

 

[ChowClown]

Done for the week now. A jobbing day but ok in the end. Have a great weekend.

 

[ChowClown]

NQ - london session, long just closed for 2R (+125T).

 

[ChowClown]

NQ - US session - +67T short so far.

 

[ChowClown]

NQ..i struggled the first hour today, b/e's, a loss and then latched onto a move up towards an RN which saved the day. I'll stop here and focus elsewhere.

 

[ChowClown]

NQ - was in two minds whether or not to trade today given the slow news and grinding pa but went for it. OK in the end (done for today now) on the latest momentum down but only after scraping a couple $100 net before that.

 

[ChowClown]

NQ - another tricky session so far but ok(ish) for 'jobbing'. Done for today.
