Just wanted to hop back into this thread to add that today is the kind of day on NQ which has been driving me insane. No direction, just slow grind, grind, and more grind. I am still turning a small profit most days, but it truly is like watching paint dry. I'm looking more into trading the first hour and maybe /CL to try to get more out of each day... The other side of the coin is when NQ moves TOO fast and you can't get a decent entry.



Of cause it is all individual. I do not have info on your set-up, time frames, strategies and all that jazz so it is hard for me to comment.
I personally did not see any problems with directionality of the moves , unemployment claims news directed push downward and the only issue was calling double bottom at 9.10, closing the shop and/or switching to long side.
Then of cause I do have the benefit of watching the moves as they develop overnight which gives a bit more of an perspective.

Thanks for sharing experiences though my post was specifically related to MNQ and to less extent to MES and even lesser MYM. I have no experiences with bonds and thus will refrain from any comments related to that.
I am just surprised that some conclusions about success or failure of my strategies were derived from my personal observations that at no point asked for advices of what to do and how.
As a matter of fact things that were barely working in last year high-volatility environment started to really perform in current settings. So my only question when this bonanza will stop.
I have no clue what is happening with bonds, but with MNQ market changes every day, though there are some day of week commonalities widely known to everybody.

Sorry for daring to offer up some advice. Your message sounded like someone who just started trading, and has no clue wtf they're doing.

I apologize if my sharing some 20years of experience doing this has struck you the wrong way.

Good luck on your journey.
