Long NQ here
Edit: Close +720 apparently. I am far too tired to trade today or this would have been perfect time to go heavy.

Lost 130 on similar setup. (For the record, I have a bullish bias for parts of tonight due to pension fund rebalancing and I am following up on some trigger levels despite not being in mint condition.)
Closing note for February:
PL: $4382
Current DD from peak: $1483
Very shit month when we compare results versus amount of stuff going on in the markets; the volatility has been exceptional. Unfortunately I am quite over-worked at the moment and don't have time to sit down to reactively fix automation or backtest.
For instance, last Friday I was convinced that pension fund rebalancing would drive up US equities some time in evening. However, I was too tired to properly act once the up move start the last 15 minutes before close (because I was unable to draw the conclusion that the behavior I had been waiting the entire evening for was finally happening). This move was easily worth $20k even with a comparatively minor position.
Despite drawdown I'm still sitting at a better result YTD than the entirety of last year. I try to not to think about this though as it easily makes me too defensive and eager to exit for minor losses. I need another home run which has been absent since start of Jan.

Don't think everything is fine now on mass stimulus hopes.
Lost 300 on an earlier NQ long which was correctly entered, but my GF on the phone in a shouting contest with her mother in worst corona infested area in Iran didn't exactly help my intellectual ability and I exited for minor loss.

Quit on +200, feel like shit today. Gonna play some computer game instead.
Sell NQ, fairly late into this but good downside potential.
Edit: SHit cut. And trade app dead. At least have good stops
Edit: Yeah -7000. GG, YTD profit 70% eradicated since it gapped.
Taking a break for remainder of day since I don't wanna rage trade or anything like that.
