I did post all that info above, but I'll break it down here. Yes, I sold a call with a strike of 13340 for 56.25. 1 contract of NQ is $20/pt. 1 NQ option is also $20/pt so 20*56.25=$1125. I "protected" my position with a 56pt "cushion" for Sunday's open through Monday's session. Normally I am...

You can go through my posts and see some of the trade numbers. Having a trailing stop doesn't make a swing trade. I've been maxed out at 1.5 NQ ( 1NQ + 5mNQ), Generally, I DO NOT carry over night. However I have 9 minutes to maybe make an exception for this weekend. I am currently long 1 NQ...

Hey, I just realized you are the guy I was accused of being, in the beginning of this thread, lol. This portfolio I was trading equities from Oct 2022 til about mid Jan 2023, when I started trading futures. There was some carry-over of positions and some accidental equities trades. I have been...

I did, traded >17 round trips. eaked out a little over 2%. My mobile app has reset so it shows 0.0% gain for now. But I did post yesterday that account was 83,4xx yesterday. It's at 85,5xx now.

This thread is still alive? Anyone adapting my style to grind away? It's been like clock work that 50sma trades. A few whipsaws here and there, but R/R has just been excellent. Not sure what mkts will do from here over summer, but it shouldn;t matter cuz we are trading intraday mostly and...

Yeah, account is > 83k currently and I do scale in and out. To manage the risk, for example, I sometimes short a few mNQ agianst a whole long NQ position if it has move >75+ points in my favor. I do average down, but thats due to the +-5points I give to build position around the 50sma. Mostof...

Oh, want to make clear, it wasn't up 8% in one night. It's up a total of 8% since near end of Apr :). I'm still only trading and equiv of 1.5 NQ. Commision is killing me though on the micros at TDA.

Hi LF, I remember you. You were the only positive and supportive person in my foray in that one trading thread. That same account has slowly but steadily grown since my last post in that thread ... another 8% as of last night. NQ is currently a long (stop 13300) and ES a short (stop 4142)...

I'm currently short 1 NQ from 13293, but also short a 13250put at 56 when nq was 13260s. I'm biased short, but stop is at neg sloping 50ma on nq 60min chart.

Looks like this is the most active thread on ET? Anyone in here profitable YTD? If so, willing to share details? Anyone here also trading NQs? TIA for any info.

Yea (actually ~$5cr) , took a bit of time/effort to build it and 20/20 look back, not yet sure if it was worth the effort since I could have made just as much trading the NQs within the range. But it's no sleep loss over 3 days so that in itself my wife says is worth it :).

With the relatively tight range we have been in for the NQ's while below its 60min 50SMA, I'm actually slightly bullish but not sure what will happen next week, been building options for Monday X. I've built standard flys via 13100/13150/13180 @ $41/32/16 (4/8/4) = no risk trade. Will post...

Ok, I am back in the saddle and this may be my last post to this thread as I think this thread is about ran its course. So, for full disclosure, giving an update. I have been on constant travel last couple of weeks and was on "vacation" last week in Galveston Island. Tried to make some trades...

They haven't updated the standings since end of Feb so no idea where performances are now, but I would be starting at zero. However, looking at the results; to be top 10 for the non pro futures class, only had to return 6.4%? That can't be right? Anyway, I'm forming another LLC (to include my...

I managed a couple key trades last week and did well, but since I was on travel and will be on travel again until 4-16 can't take advantage of all the moves. Starting last Tuesday, the 50sma slope was still positive and flattening. the NQ's did the Down, Up, Down 3x and into Wed, 50sma slope...
