Long

NAS Outlook 8/15

Updated

Bearish on NAS. Monthly FVG below is what I am seeing as the current draw on liquidity. after that gets tapped price may either want to push into it, or reverse and take out some of the recent highs.

Note

In a short from the 2H FVG.

Note

moving well. need to see price trade to and through the weekly open.

Note

weve traded to the weekly open, looking to see it trade through.

Note

slow grind but still in it.

Note

forward testing an add on nas after nyse open

Note

forward testing the add here going off the 4H chart. considering using the 4H chart primarily for trade ideas and only going to lower timeframes once we are in 4H POIs to avoid getting whiplashed around as I have more recently

Note

the added forward test position could have been taken from 50% of the OB with the same stoploss for a better R/R while maintaining the same criteria for invalidation.

Note

4H OB holding nicely. I will be working off the 4H more often moving forward.

Note

Approaching TP1, glad to have gotten some movement ahead of FOMC mins at 2PM.

Note

TP1 hit.

Note

great TP selection as price is reacting as expected off of it. lets see if it dips once more for TP 2.

Note

stoploss moved to above the PM session high.

Note

gave it room. I dont think the dip is done.

Note

Sl moved back to what should be the PM session high

Note

What thoughts go through your mind as price approaches but has not hit your TP?

"Should I close now? what if it runs away from me? should I move my TP to get more profit? Im kind of hungry should I order takeout?"

Journal these thoughts and come up with an approach. There is nothing wrong with closing your position early so long as you are making that decision in logic and not out of fear.

Trade closed: target reached

TP 2 hit, trade collapsed.

Note

Trade breakdown

Note

looking to buy

Note

Tapped in. TP levels set lets see how she fares.

Trade closed: stop reached

did not hold. I still like longs so lets see.

Note

We are in extreme HTF discount here in the Weekly FVG. I will take one more shot from this level, which is a 1:1 mirror of the price traded above the weekly open, inside the 4H BPR.

Note

tapped in. Same TPs as before for now.

Note

encouraging initial reaction, but we need to get above the recent high to be safe and it's still a ways away.

Note

going break even.

Note

Can you see it yet?

Note

giving it back full stoploss.

Note

damn its not looking good brev. buy was premature.

Note

Stopped out and one last try. IDK mayne everything is telling me we go up. its the end of the week, sellside chasing should be over.

Note

Was wrong on NAS as price did not seem to have any interest in chasing buyside the second half of the week. I still think we are in discount and buys are attractive, but the market structure has not yet changed to support this.

Note

one last buy attempt for the week.

May god have mercy upon me. 😂

Note

No funny business Friday's. SL below the low after a validated 15min OB

Note

still in this, had to give SL some breathing room as it looks like a search and destroy liq clearing played out.

Note

notice how no bodies close below the OB, only wicks. This is crazy messy trading.

Note

finally getting some encouraging market structure. its about to be noon on friday in an hour, might not get the sort of expansion I was hoping for. Will re-evaluate TP levels.

Note

TP levels reduced.

Note

TP reduced again, not getting near the expansion I had wanted earlier.

Note

taking first profit at london high.

Note

crazy scenes. TP is never guaranteed.

Note

TP2 hit, what a battle this one was ffs.

Note

glad with the TP selection here. look at the reaction both times. Done for the week for obvious reasons.
