Got a 5 pointer in NQ, but still relatively small peanuts on the day.

I'm looking for 160 ticks on the NQ long, 9005 to 9045 (if i'm correct - fingers crossed)

I'll re-enter if I get the opportunity. Stopped on the ES long for +2.00. So I'm at my original minimum daily goal, but striving for the minimum has never been a key to success

Do you use some sort of measured move or similar to find the 9045? Or is that just a profit objective target?

I always mark the following levels either side of the big and mid figure:

95/00/05

45/50/55

So as it will be approaching the 9050 from below, i will put my take profit at 9045

Same on ES too

I find orders come in ahead of the 00 and 50 levels

Time frame? The 1 minute is tough to fit on 1 screen

Here's the 5M on NQ since market open -

It might almost be better on NQ to aggregate rows by the Point, not the Tick, given its range.

I reckon the bar delta (bar) figure at the bottom is of most use!

Say we get a huge volume bar (potential buying climax for example) and the delta (bar) figure is massively negative and a dark red, it could me that everyone selling by hitting the bid has been absorbed by the smart money sat on the bid providing the liquidity.

I need to get myself NinjaTrader, I use AMP futures, so could probably get it for free.

8:30 bar on the chart above is a good starting example of that i think
