I guess with the speed of the NQ limit orders are what is required.
H - any times/setups you would use market/stop orders?

Yeh, i agree, although it depends on the size of the set-up... if it is of a larger scale, i sometimes reset and look for a 123 trigger pullback as a kind of confirmation that the pullback ended at the prior level (if you follow me?) {image}

Funny how outside influences can affect you... hit relationship problems today and got that nasty feeling of cortisol running through me at the mo.
I've opened the charts 15 minutes ago and taken one trade for +17, but then i found myself hesitating when there were clearly other trades that i normally would have taken, so i will leave it there and go watch a film or something, cos clearly i'm not in the right frame of mind!)
I bet Harold never has such problems!)

Quick glance at my 400 trades chart on the other screen and i just noticed a Resistance turned Support reaction, and also last 'hiccup' on way up, so quickly placed limit at pullback;
Was really too aggressive with stoploss chase - something i need to work on, me thinks, but still...
I will take that. Something about the last two days, getting results in pairs!
Here's the view on 400 trades;
Ok, i really am turning off charts now!)

Hello,
Topic very rich! Nice.
If I understand, you are looking on the NQ 133ticks, search patterns 123 or 2B during the 1st hour of NY opening market.
You open to the Pullback to return point 3.
The Stop 15 ticks, TP 20 ticks?
But to open PB at point 3, are you waiting before break point 2?
I wrote on the graph the 123 points ... because I see badly.
is it right?
Thank you
