I'm going to trade the NQ. Probably wait til tomorrow's NYC open. Might go long or short. Doubt I'll need a stop loss.

NQ is great!

How come you didn't short in the 48 area? (The short in the ES was just below 85, of course.)

That was last week, this is this week I really am a day trader still - most of my first trades in the NQ are opened within 30 minutes +/- of the NYC open and I am flat by the bell or soon after.

I hear the best traders in the world trade the ES. I can't help but wonder if several here would not be better off if they instead were to trade the NQ.

Sell signal here on the 15 minute chart. It does not agree with the 60 or the 240, but does of course agree with daily.

Need to be always looking at charts in bigger context. With the 15 having a sell signal here, one could look at the 1 and 5 for short trades with tight stops.

Quick reminder. It's ok to be wrong. Learn to be wrong and be ok with it. Always use stops that lose no more than 2% of TLNW. This is the true edge in trading. Control losses and let winners run. Good fortune to all!
