MNQ1! trade ideas
KISS Trading SystemOverview :
Trading process should be as simple as possible. One of the simple method to trade is primarily identify direction, find a good location to entry, wait for confirmation in the location, and finally execute the trade when the risk reward ratio is good.
1. Direction
To identify direction, follow the market structure. Higher high and higher low indicates price is in a bullish trend (uptrend), while lower high and lower low indicates the price is in a bearish trend (downtrend). If there is no clear structure higher high and higher low or lower and high lower low, price is in sideways mode. Best is to avoid trade under this condition until clear trend is formed.
2. Location
Every time price create a new breakout structure, mark the the structure as our potential location for entry. There are some occasion where price does not pullback to the location and continuing the trend by creating a new breakout structure. Do not FOMO, just wait for the next location and confirmation within the location to entry and minimize your risk.
3. Confirmation
Patience is the key. Wait for price to pullback at higher time frame location, and focus for confirmation in lower time frame to entry and reduce risk. Time is fractal, the structure pattern is same on all timeframes. Choosing the right timeframe pair is crucial. Refer to table in the notes below for timeframe pairing.
4. Risk Reward
This is the main essence in trading, controlling risk and preserving capital. Entry without doubt when the risk reward are good. Execute, and trust your setup.

2025.05.15 Nasdaq analysisHello, this is Greedyallday.
It’s been a while since the last update.
Today’s analysis is on the NASDAQ.
📈 Daily Chart View:
Looking at the NASDAQ on the daily chart:
The current price action has entered back into the range that existed from November 2024 to February 2025.
This range is approximately 20,790 to 22,430.
Although the range is wide, it reflects the strong volatility we’ve recently experienced — making this level of fluctuation reasonable.
One key area to observe is the blue box.
There were two significant gap-ups, and recent NASDAQ movement consists only of strong bullish candles.
So, where could the correction go if it occurs from here?
The maximum potential drop appears to be either:
20,763, or
Near the May 13, 2025 low of 20,818.
Since price has entered a larger daily frame, a correction could potentially push it down toward the lower end of the frame.
But considering that 20,818 acted as a recent support level, that area can be used to anticipate the bottom of the correction.
🕒 15-Minute Chart View:
On the 15-minute chart:
After the weekly close on May 9, 2025, the NASDAQ saw a gap-up, and an upward trend formed — but that trend was broken earlier today.
In the short term, we can say a correction trend has begun.
However, looking at the yellow box, the price is still making higher lows and higher highs, meaning the market structure remains bullish for now.
So, even within this correction, we may continue to see long lower wicks followed by rebounds.
If the price breaks below 21,187, that would signal a clear shift into a deeper correction phase.
At that point, the previous strong rally from the blue box may be reversed by selling pressure.
In that case, the short-term downside targets would be:
20,996,
and at most 20,763.
🔍 Summary
To summarize:
The NASDAQ is currently in an uptrend — making higher lows and higher highs — but we’ve entered a potential correction zone.
However, this is not yet a confirmed full correction.
We need to wait for a clear break below 21,187 before entering any trades based on that view.
💰 Buy Setup
None for now.
Despite the ongoing bullish trend, the market keeps setting new highs, making it difficult to find a good entry point.
It would be wiser to wait for a clearer correction before considering a long position.
📉 Sell Setup
Trigger: Break below 21,187
🎯 Targets:
TP1: 21,070
TP2: 21,000
TP3: 20,780
❌ Stop Loss:
Set at around 21,282,
which is the level where, if price re-enters the mid-range of the previous bullish frame, the short thesis becomes invalid.
$1000 on this one NQ tradeBeautiful trade caught here on NQ. Happy we were able to capitalize on this and make the right decisions when it came to risk and our profits.
We'll see where NQ takes us next, our MNQ trade could get stopped out and if it does I am content either way. GETTEX:52K threshold reached for our prop trading challenge account.
May this month be the month we are able to pass this account and start capitalizing from our trading.
MNQ Trade Idea Continuation (3)Continuation into the trade idea we were sharing, we traded through the Daily high level we were targetting of 21,404.75 then rushed lower under the Trendline Phantom line and under the IFVG that was used as support for price to reach 21,419.75.
Will this be another manipulation below 21,362.00 lows before continuation higher, or should I have set a TP at the 21,404.75 highs and called it a day?
Final trade entry for the day 5.14.25Will this trade idea hold?
Currently targeting the daily highs, but price has been so bullish due to all the things happening with the economy and trump with tarrifs with china and now the new $600B deal with Saudi Arabia. So I was hoping to see prices continue even higher than the daily high for us to benefit from that trade we are on.
Us holding on past the highs could hurt us by losing the current profits we have secured. But we will let this final trade show us what it decides to do and shift SL accordingly with the hopes that we don't get manipulated out of our trade.
We have london Lows still intact, not sure if the market will want to reach back lower into it and possibly inside of a bullish FVG for a discount area before exploding higher.
To me it seems that we are on a bullish trend creating higher lows and higher highs and targetting the previous sellside of the curve.
Let me know your thoughts below, where do you think price will reach to?
Continuation to MNQ trading 5.14.25 (2)Continuation into my MNQ trading day, would like to see price continue higher, we have been pumping alot lately which cautions me to worry if we will see some sort of fast retracement sometime soon.
We took yesterday's daily highs, so I am a little confused if we will continue to take the current daily candle's high or if we will see some sort of retracement today into a bullish FVG from the daily to then continue trading higher.
The key aspect of trading that we are learning is when a candle/price will do something. Still alot to learn but have been making some decent choices with our trades. If we are stopped out we are still in profits for the day and maybe we call it.
The key thing I regret this trading session is not taking that $500 profit on NQ on that very first entry we took. Would've offset our losses and helped us stay secure profits for the day.
