And what time frame charts / platform are you using? I also trade the NQ so just curious.
Questions are no problem at all.
I look at candlesticks. When price enters a good area to open a position, I will when the action is strong. Solid bars, etc.
Negative price action would then be a mirror of that: solid bars against me. With the added caveat of also weakness (wicks and such) being places to start closing. So I'm opening on strength and closing on weakness/opposite strength.
