Hi there! Wanted to ask you about Hoagies, hope you don't mind, I see you using them. Is the definition of a hoagie that a wide candle engulfs the following 2-5 candles and then a candle closes above/below the high/low of the engulfing candle and you enter in that direction? I guess you are using an 8 or 9 EMA as a filter?

I remember seeing the hoagie described in a YouTube video some months ago but for the life of me I can't seem to find it again.

And btw I also trade MNQ (and also micro DAX), good to see others devoted to it as well :)

Thank you!
 
Hi, Quant Trade Edge, is where i picked up hoagies :) - not sure which vid of his might have the best description but you have it locked in already :) - this is the first vid youtube served up of his to me -
- useful setup but i don't trade it that often these days. Good luck!
 
NQ, short near the open targeting the 50% level of the uk session range (+119T).
Pinched another +52T short on the break of the retrace targeting the 30min 61.8 level (of the UK session range). That's it for me today.

Thank you very much, indeed this was the video I took the idea of the setup originally.
 
Late to the game today, a couple of losers and then on a couple for a ride up.

NQ - mindful of all the chin wagging today - jobbed a few pre-mkt and another closed just now. Hope you're having a good week.

NQ - 1 pre-mkt long and a short closed just now. Daily chart helps navigate the 'wick fest' and the 2min coupled with 5/20 ema crosses with 1R targets works well with a typical 70%+ win rate.

I'm taking the MB Trading challenge too atm and will log activity on that here too. Not futs so allows greater freedom to intraday swing. Rules here
https://www.macrobriefing.com/intro - i'm not affiliated, just keen to add another string to the bow, if i can stick to the risk model!

25th Oct: 2 b/e's; 1 loss (-25 points); 1 win (+200 points).

1 loser on the MB challenge today -83 points. +92 points for the week but not tracking well against their risk model. Still, early days. No scalps for me today on futs.

NQ topstep account - took a few premarket ideas and goofed the UK/US time difference, so a poor start to the week, redeemed by the last trade (long) for a decent winner. Will quit while ahead. Probably no MB trades for me today. Good luck!
