Still massive at 9:48 EST

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

Interesting board to open for $QQQ, the drop at the morning, Exposure was heavy at 85, but couldn't ignore the top ones. Those did eventually drain as i type this 14 minutes in. I took a move from 87.5/855 to 85 on QQQ after the top nodes died out. Now we're chopping around 85 on Q's, will see if another node can pull us a certain way but exposure on 85 is HUGE.

@HuskerHedge Gun to your head and youre answering with hesitation with “would probably”. That might tell you what you should do

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

@MrF2rev The goal is not to ride from lows to highs but to capture an appropriate replicable piece of that action daily

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

@DiegoBTrades Sitting through that is important to not let these emotions affect our capacity as traders. GEX/VEX exposure had the largest amount at 685 on QQQ. Seeing positioning there can help you catch a move to 685

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

@repeatabletrdr Id definitely look into it. You can see how price is going to move in some areas and it can mark some lows/highs for you for the best entries. I got a move from 681-685/686 this morning because of the stack at 680 and king sitting at 685

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

@Liberty8577 What does chasing big wins mean to you? What urge are you trying to satisfy or what belief is it addressing? Answering that would take away the need to chase big wins in the first place

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

@VClouette GEX/VEX Exposure was building above for QQQ, price wanted higher and was eventually delivered after the GAP up and choppy start.

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

690 couldn't hold as second king while 680 never died out, could see action hover around 685 and possibly see 680 at EOD.

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

A bit late into open but 680 was a great hold to see 85. I did enter a bit late so i sized half of what i normally did, rode 81.5/82 to 85 and even 86. Solid move to start the first 10 minutes. QQQ with the ripper, lets see values grow and hold above 85 for us to see continuation, 700 is possible (maybe not today) as long as 680 holds)

@TRTCompass @TradeDadLog Soooo easy to trade futures with @TRTCompass

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

Morning opening around 87 with king at 690 and next stack is at 85 and 83. Would play the first edge at 85 but the better one at 83/82 if 690 holds weight as we head down there.

@Fearless_Trades Maybe trading with a little bit of fear can help here

@TheSoupRoom If you're an ICT Trader in 2026, you're unprofitable.

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

Update 45 minutes and wrapping up the session, bought at the end of the stack of 670 and then again at 72/open. Sold into 74 and 75 on the second entries. Wasn't a part of the air gap between 75 and 80 but I got my piece and closed the broker appropiately.

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

Interesting board at open for QQQ. Looking to hold 670 stack or 672 for a move towards 75. Thin air above 75 if we can hold there. $SPY

Want to learn how to trade in 2026? Compass is a must have tool for futures and indexes

[TRT Compass @TRTCompass]

Every chart has an empty right side. Your brain fills it with a story.

TRT Compass 1.0 fills it with the board. Here’s the first session on it: $SPY’s King rotated up to 750, one dip, and 750 traded at 10:43 ET. Then the crown moved to 752, and price followed.

Trade toward the King. First month free.

@KarimBFX Yet people still trade ICT and SMC in 2026 🫩

[TradingwithDough @PThangDo]

@AndrewTradesNQ I need to learn iFVG's just to reverse it. GEX/VEX positioning is a cleaner option imo
