this is how i experienced nasdaq 100 futures yesterday. seems like small and tiny trades but it makes +360 usd (with very limited risk)

friday, late afternoon, slow markets. the price will want to stay in the range - tpo poc speculation

ok this is how i closed the trade at +200. there was sellers weakness so i decided to took what it offered.. yeah, it slipped much more and i could have taken almost double, but... it doesnt matter. what does matter is consistency.

some people asked me why i dont hold my trades longer. the reason is that (for me), it is much more important to have consistent profits everyday, than a homerun from time to time.

i take what it gives, considering actuall volume and volatily, (this trade took almost half of the daily range..). and of course i hold on my trade management. when i trade 2 contracts - 100 usd for contracts is a good profit to go to bed.

today i have found a one and half year old video of a my trading session at bosporus in istanbul (i got a turkish wife so i spent quite a lot of time there)

what a nice memory of this day :-)

today´s market showed a peculiar situation of an upward movement fueld by intermaret liquidity which was at the end flipped into shared liquidity - that is the moment to try to take a trend reversal trade - NOT EARLIER!

the movement upwards was fuelled by stoploss of public (retail sellers) and constantly being suported by high luring sell limit orders on depth of market (see the pictures) - it is extremely dangerous to try to short this kind of movements

i took a trade (short) - not on nasdaq but on dow jones where the situation was mirrored - short makes sense AFTER the situation of liquidity abussion changes! not earlier!

volatile day.. this short on nq was against late buyers who were sucked into the market after an identifying reversal. the gradation on orderflow diminished at higher prices

closing all in the area of the first target. this price shaked in the sellers pressure

catching daily high in a rising market - 100% repeatable low heat entry

question: how is possible to catch it so preciselly?
answer: use orderflow

:-)

ok, ok, what exactly do u need to look for in such a situation? two things. properlly located volume and a change in the flow of orders when the price touches new highs

updade: this is how the trade looks on a higher (30 min timeframe) - it looks like a mistake not to take more, but it is absolutelly allright. it is properly managed with fixed trade management bringing the highest %

a sign of a good entry is that u feel really bad in the moment of clicking..

here i go against a sharp price drop, becasue low at nq is safe!

offered liquidity on depth of market disapeared after huge sell market order
