NQ Range Madness

[John9999]

John, Ocho and I were lamenting about PistolPete's comments. It wasn't directed to you. Cool your jets.

Okay Okay... I just need to be done with it for the day. At least I did not give back all of my profit from yesterday. A Day like today used to just shew me up with failed trades.

I was actually pointing out there is a relevance in high volatility ( not volume you retard) on a relative low range day ( previous 5 days ) not that it was an untradable day . i made some coins and i do fine without you trying to impress your ego upon me , This place has no intellect . My recent results are fine but thanks for the concern .

No intellect...don't say something obviously wrong and your feelings won't get hurt.

Oh really,,, it is just so easy when we look backwards. Unless you were running like 60 point (not ticks) stops , I do not see where there was anywhere to enter long or short and have it play out. I run my stops at 15 points which is usually more than enough to get in on a good entry signal and stick with it. All three of my trades today stopped out in less than one minute of entry.

Then your entries are bad. Easy to fix if you put in the work. But dont blame the market. Once you accept the problem you can fix it to make money.

Did anyone make money today? I don't know how. I watch ATR very closely, today on 5 minute chart we were well over 20 and even hit 28... to put that in perspective, even a huge day like yesterday and the ATR was 16 -20. All I did today was get whipped out of 3 trades for stops and done for the day.

Are you trading from any levels?. S& R, pivots, vWap, etc. This may help. Post your strategy maybe people will give pointers or suggestions.

Tuition, you have to trade through a full cycle for context, 10+ years. Did you think you were just going to pick this up in a couple months or even a couple of years?
