$NQ +2R No news Mondays, I was skeptical... I was very bullish, I wanted a continuation at 10am An Open Low High Close →Tap into 15M gap on NQ →Making 15M/1H/4H SMT →Enter at the CISD targeting a 2:1RR on route to the BSL
@matt_loeber
$ES tapped into 15M FVG, forming SMT with $NQ.
Entry was at CISD, but I closed after the sweep of the highs 🤡—missed the move.
Days like this hurt the most: you wait for the setup for days, nail the bias, and still get bent.
Only option: keep improving. ⚔️📈

+3R on $NQ
Went in with small size.
1H SMT ES/YM → NQ
5M CISD as usual BUT since PA was ugly (1H + 4H FVG flip on NQ), I wanted extra confirmation.
Dropped to 1M and hit a market entry after the impulse.
Can't wait for some red folder tomorrow!
No trades for me today.
HTF SMT all over the place, price stuck in ranges, and no red-folder news AND end of August = low probability setup.
From experience, if Asia + London range, NY usually follows. Do you agree ?
Did you guys manage to catch anything today?
@luke_trades1 Yeah you’re right. My plan is to close if price runs 2R without me, but since yesterday’s London highs weren’t taken yet, I think I could’ve kept my limit entry.
Daily > 1H > 5M
Didn’t get filled, but here was my idea today:
SMT inside D FVG (NQ/YM)
SMT inside 1H FVG (ES/NQ)
Had a limit at the 5M CISD. Price run +2R without me, so I closed the order.
Of course, price came back and ripped after.
Beautiful setup, just no fill.
