Exceptional week

Hello traders, this week, trading NQ intraday I have had a spectacular performance, I have never achieved this before, I can say that I am very happy with the result.
However.
It has been a clearly bullish week, the direction has been clear and the momentum has been strong.
I wonder if my good result is due to market conditions.
When the market moves slowly I don't know if I'm going to get the same result.
Maybe to get the same result I will have to increase the number of contracts.
What do those with more experience think?
My luck is due to market conditions?
If my system is solid, will it work with the slowest market?
I don't want to get excited ahead of time,
I've never had a positive week doing intraday before.


Take a week vacation if you can is my advise to see the amounts you made in relation
To the size of your life style

and luck or not doesnt matter the key is to preserve the amounts made

i would be cautios against increasing your position size so soon, if the results are spactular woth the position size your trading now then there should be no reason why they cant be again

in my experience best increase the position size only when the account becomes so large that the current size becomes like a waste of
Time only then you should increase it

Clearly. Will next week's trend be as clear? Only way to know will be to just keep on buying, and see what had happened by end of week. If at the end of the week all longs have failed, then clearly it will have been a bearish week.

Clearly.
 
Never before had a positive week closed.
So like I said, I don't want to get excited.
You have to learn to operate in all market circumstances.

Indeed. Be cautious next week, because there is actually news coming on Wednesday, 8AM ET. Powell is going to be doing a "webinar" or something. I think he will be out of his element there, and will mess it all up, like he did in Feb 2018, his first day on the job. (Or maybe I am just hoping, hehe. And yeah, there's core retail numbers on Friday, but when Jerome Valentine speaks, people listen!)
 
I have had a spectacular performance,

don't worry about fear, do what you do. you'll be fine.

"you didn't explain your system, so at this point all one can say is yes, you got lucky."

"I only look at the price.
I don't use any indicators."

does your trading plan contain any other instructions additional to the above?

do tell...
 
areas of reversal, check.
entry signal trigger?

for swing traders, they can enter but it is far far too late.
the first boat has left 2 months ago


for day traders, there are opportunities to long and short everyday.
