    Yes, it is important to remember that a change at extremes will give more confidence of entering, but taking the SLA when it happens is still valid especially if we can manage the trade correctly.

    One thing that I noted from the day was the turn at 88 that happened away from any expected turning point. Need to watch for the changes in buying and selling wherever they happen and not just at extremes.

    Tuesday 18th Mar 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review A belated Happy Saint Patrick's Day to everyone. This week I plan on back testing as much as possible using SLA. I know that I still have other thoughts in my head from previous experience and testing, which I notice while looking at NQ...

    Thank you Db. I am trying to learn something everyday and see an improvement in my knowledge at the end of each week. I feel that my learning is on an upward trend at the moment thanks to yourself and the group. There are retracements and hinges along the way, but I feel confident that I am...

    Pre market open Friday lows at 87, and we have moved down from the highs of 40. I missed the market open and first 20 min, so I won't review any of the action at the start. 1. At 10:00 price made a double top at 10 and this was also a bounce off a previous hourly swing low. Potential...

    What matters is not being right or wrong, but trying to improve everyday. I'm not as good as Niko or Db at this but I try to learn at least one new thing each day. Keep posting your opinions. You can learn from yourself as much as you can learn from others.

    Trading NQ via Price Action

    I don't know if your charting allows you to add numbers, but if you number your comments on here and add the number to the charts, it is easier for others to see the price points you are talking about. You are correct, it was an interesting day today.

    Friday 7th Mar 2014 NQ100 1 min chart review Pre market open Again we are up at the top of the long term channel. There was a gap up before the open at 8:30 from 24 up to 28. I have noticed that when these start to fill they often complete, so good to watch when price comes back to...
