    NQ - done for today now. Picked up a short from yesterday's close and targeted today's intraday low (at that time) for +358T.

    NQ - premarket (London) - looked left at the daily chart with price around yesterday's low and the 17th May low (c18545). Entered short off the 1min from a 123 around the moving averages and exited at +65T. A base hit given the lower premarket momentum.

    NQ - done for the day now, 2 shorts, 1 for +14T the other +282T. Used HA candles to help smooth out the noise and had the daily support level around 18630 as a likely target. Exited the 2nd trade around this level on a 123 reversal.

    MNQ - trying out my prop firm's latest platform TopStepX - building out a plan that targets $300 per session, 5 micros max per trade, if -$300 out for the day. To help pass a 50k combine. One of my sons has shown interest recently.

    Back after a break. NQ - saw that on the daily yesterday a neat fib extension was hit which might indicate a top of the 2-legged-pullback. Ran with the idea pre-market targeting yesterday's low. Took 2 attempts to get in on the move.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
