Trading on "Instynct" (NQ)

Quote from A-No1:


you make good $ but you place far too many trades for a intraday swingtrader as opposed to a scalper. imo

Closing up early.. wish I could have waited for the 40's but work calls.. 2149 should be "interesting" if it gets there..

+14.18 points..

Nice Rashid,

I forget, do you look at a 5 min chart or 1000 vol for entries? I switched to a 5 min a couple months ago but have been looking at 2000 and 2500 vol lately. Can't decide what I like better. I think I've actually gotten use to the 5 min.

Also, anybody know how to use the print screen button to save screenshots? Just got a new laptop and can't seem to make it work on this one.

Do you have a frame-work driving your trades? i.e... is there something above that can validate a consistent direction to trade in? Whenever I don't or allow price wiggle to make me forget, losses show up..

See attached chart...

Daily candle from Yesterday: LONG - bullish candle AFTER 4 down
240 min: LONG - MA reverse

Therefore look to buy 15 min support... and potential long day.

Sooo I was fishing the 2100 area long.. too bad for my relatively small stops.. OR I could have waited for the 15m reversal bar and gotten long higher BUT low confidence in the preceding analysis haunts me.. Plus I should have been trying long all the time.. unless sub 2100 held. If this failed I would have tried short to 2080 area AND definitely try long there on a good reverse.

Using 8 range or 5 mins for entry but I am a basket case when it comes to micro entries..

Hit Printscreen... Open Paint, paste from clip-board, crop as needed...
OR Download Screenshot Captor for free.. I use this and Snagit..
