Trading on "Instynct" (NQ)

Instynct, Attached is a chart of your trades today. Seems your bread and butter is scalping breakouts. I see the reason for most of your entries, but a couple are not clear.

I tend to play pullbacks. Looks like you may have netted around 5 points/contract today. Would this be a typical day for you?

I see you are patient also, and wait for your setups.

bmw,

I'm on the west coast. The first trade Long at 14.5 I was just looking for a lunch time fade for a couple points. Apparently the fade already happened and I was too late. And once ES broke below VWAP at around 9:35 pst the market bias was set.

The 98.5 Short at 11:36, I really wanted 2200 but price didn't quite make it up there before sellers started coming in again so I quickly hopped on with a 2 pt stop. Price didn't do what I had expected so I got out at breakeven. Turns out price decided that it wanted to touch 2200 and at that point sellers started to come in again so I hopped back in short at 2199.5.

The last short at 03.5 I was expecting sellers to come in at the previous day low of 04.25 to take it down, but the buyers ran me over trying to cover their shorts.

I don't like to enter with stops but if I miss those wholesale entries on a day like today then I will enter however which way I can. If I enter with stops I'm more inclined to treat them as scalps with tight profit management and tight stops(around 3-6 ticks).

P/L today +6.75
