Had my TP set @ + 40, got to +39, it reversed on me but the slippage on exit whacked me as I closed down to +11. Fckers, it slipped me from the green line to the physical entry also. The first trade + 20, but quickly back to zero. If I'd had TP at + 20, I woulda been up + 40, but of course hindsight...
Have a good one guys.

Three trades today all on the 5 min chart. Seems weird trading the 5 min in all of this volatility but it works nicely. Last day of sim trading.
Trade 1: -14 ticks. Would have been a good trade had I followed the rule I set where no stops can be moved between 9 and 10 am eastern time. No biggie. Small loss.
Trade 2: +311 ticks. Moved my target down when price seemed to be stalling.
Trade 3: +41 ticks. This one would have still been going on but I have something to go do this afternoon. If I was still in on the trade it would be up about 240 ticks at this point.
Ignore the red lines. Multicharts thinks these are closing out trades from another day. Not sure why. But they are not indicators.
Final count is +338 ticks.

Lord, Liar, Lunatic. Those are only 3 options to Christ's diety claim.
looks like I missed a wild week, volatility as well as price action pretty elevated. spent the week chasing 1st pic below, 80yards was
as close as I could get, too far for an ethical shot with my bow. felt kinda like setting stops. at any rate loaded the front contract
along side the current in the ES. front contract already trading 100k more than current, and about 10pts lower, don't know if this an accurate
indication of expectations, we'll see next week. NQ also similar.
good luck

{quote} great work getting back to pro account well done .. i blew up the combine when mkt went volatile week before last .. just done a reset
{quote} Good luck with the reset, Ras, you will soon be on track again - the volatility increase is def a mixed blessing and caught me out a few times throughout the combine. I pay much closer attention to a faster ATR these days
with the MESZ contract. first one I should have not been so greedy, second on it just took off.
are all of you trading with the topstep, required to trade the NQ? just curious.
included a set up from "the law of charts" to show what I was looking at.
need some stronger caffine, good luck all.

Hey Magnum. I know you said you were going live again this week. How has the first couple of days been treating you?
No trades on Monday, just didn't feel good. One trade today for +53 ticks off of the 5 min chart.
