.had a bit of time pre-market and saw this 5min set-up on ES. Triple RSI divergence around yesterday's low followed by a Hoagie which had already broken long when i saw the set-up but price was holding at it's 50%. In the long now..

Edit: stopped for +1.

MNQ pre-market short, looking for an exit at yesterday's low for 3R. The 5M alongside the 1M for entry.

Edit: 11:50UK at target (+151T).

..moved over to NQ for the end of my day (UK) - a counter trend long for +21T (slapped wrist for boredom trade) and just closed a 2.5R short (+120T).

You appear to have a holy grail! Any chance of getting these calls in real time?!!
Way to go!
I don't use this site much, but I remember your screen name from back in the day and think you had a cool livecall FX journal!
Keep it up
 
..jobbed a few (NQ) pre-market before the data and a couple of longs after the open. Eyes bleary and will leave it for the day.

i plan to live stream on whatever the platform of the day is at that point, which won't be until I retire :)
 
..a week off work, yeehaa - time in the mornings (UK) for family and focus on health (gym, long overdue) and then a few hours in the afternoon for trading. Looks like it will be a busy trading week

...

First hour today and a good start to the week - NQ looked the best opportunity (IMHO) to short after the open from a retrace/momentum set-up. Scalped the jink down.

NQ - 2 trades today and will leave it there. Bias from the 15min was short at the open, picked up +12 when there was no further momentum. 2nd long for 2R (108T), with reference to the break of the 15min opening range.

NQ - initial bias coming into the session was long but impatience took the better of me and the first trade was a losing short for -71T. 2nd trade another short!..scalped +32T. 3rd trade a long for +109T, so +70 net. Likely to leave it there for the week.

NQ - travelling back from an office today meant missing the open but logged on in the last 30 mins and picked up the weakness around the RN. A short closed just now for +94T at the 50 level.

NQ - a twitchy first hour with a couple of b/e's testing the long side but ultimately switched to the prevailing weakness. Quick scalps and done for today.

NQ - focusing more recently on getting out of trades that don't move quickly away from entry, had a tendency to go for home runs. Done for the week now.
