I just hope NVIDIA keeps providing big volume moves on US Indice's like yesterday.

On ES, Volume was 12 times above normal London values - not hard to just trade with the Trend on these days.
If we go back to Friday's London Session, Volume was 1/4 normal values - not hard to skip trading the session on those days.

{quote} If you rephrase the question to "where to add a 2nd trade after moving the S/L to at least BE" My humble opinion would be the 3rd arrow (the righter most). It's the only one that is a momentum candle that also clears the cluster. Given all the MAs on your chart, the first trade is easy to see if you watch for the first pull back after the MAs cross over. The entry (which has been pointed out) just happens to be a momentum candle that also clears the cluster.
That’s what I meant to be honest, thanks.

Hi, would you recommend to take this trade? Red dots on Choc + retest of both 21ema and support on black dot with nice rejection 30 mins after London open.

Found this trade today in london session, on uptrend after pullback from 21ema with small rejection and momentum was not great, but I would still take it because of strong move from 21ema on squeeze. Would rate it as B+.

Hi Ju4ara

Yes, B+ but it was really an A++++++
There was something more important happening there that as a trader we should have seen.

I saw it and added a trade from the first setup on the previous Squeeze. So when price came down to the 21 EMA, it was either a take profit and be happy or look to add an additional trade on Gold.

I took this trade on GCJ5 and now I had 2 long positions.
I stayed in the trade for a bit longer and took profit higher up.

My exit was terrible but the profit was worth in an excess of 2K for entering on single contracts.

I really need to talk about the “missing X” soon which is a game changer if you are not already using it.
Did you know there was a prefect Squeeze + X on Monday with ES(Us500) that if I was at my trading desk on Monday instead of drinking at a bar - I may have earned 11k on a Setup.

I am pissed off I wasn’t trading that night, I missed the prefect trade.
I got what I deserved.

Driven talks about “Mindfuck” or something similar.
If you really want to trade with mindfuck

You need “missing x”


Cheers

RickM, the post above sounds like you still under effect of that drink at the bar. Come on mate, I thought Australians can handle their liquor .

"missing X" What the bloody hell you talking about? (I am saying it with an Australian accent)

Hi Driven

I reckon if you traded with “ missing x, you could double your Mindfuck trades with ease.
It’s best I show you guys a chart of the prefect Gold trade from last night that was taken by myself and probably a few thousand professional traders as well.
Its a Squeeze entry then managed by “missing X”.
For most professional traders, it was just “missing X”

Thats when I get back to the trading den for London Open later and find some spare time.
Trading comes first and posting on Forex Factory is something I leave for quiet periods when nothings happening.

PS. I loved the Monday trade setup so much, I have re traded it 5 times on Replay Mode this week already. Got to love platforms that allow traders to retrade setups to nail trade execution.

Not finished just yet.. but already looks promising.
As RickM wrote several times... there may be more optimal Entries, by using experience.
Experience cant be put into code. But once its finished, it may still be useful for some.

{quote} Looks good Cog, please let us know how it works out.
Here is an overview which I made in preperation for Publishing it on FF... (Need that stuff for Tradingview guidelines)

Once I am happy with that, I will post it here.

    2. Assesses how centrally or extremely price is positioned


  3. Volume Intensity Score (0-20 points)

    1. Optional volume analysis
    2. Rewards increased volume activity above a specified threshold


  4. Momentum Score (0-20 points)

    1. Calculates price momentum using linear regression
    2. Measures price movement's strength and direction


Squeeze States

  1. No Squeeze (Green): Significant market expansion
  2. Low Compression (Black): Minimal market compression
  3. Mid Compression (Red): Moderate market tightening
  4. High Compression (Orange): Significant market compression

Visualizations

  1. Colored column plot representing squeeze intensity
  2. Gradient coloration from transparent to solid based on intensity
  3. Optional background zones for visual squeeze intensity levels
  4. Optional numeric score label on the last bar

Signals
Entry Signals

  1. 🢁 Arrow indicating potential long entry
  2. Triggered during squeeze release
  3. Optional background highlight on entry

Alert Conditions

  1. Extreme Squeeze Alert

    1. Triggered when squeeze score crosses above 80


  2. Squeeze Release Alert

    1. Signaled on initial squeeze release, indicating potential breakout

Here was the Gold Chart from yesterday.

The "missing X" is the Mindfuck we should use because its how many professionals trade markets.

Step 1 ...... Trade 1 was a Squeeze setup where I took trade 1.

Missing X is .............. Anchored Volume Weighted Average Price

Step 2 ......... Place a Anchored VWAP indicator on the breakout candle and let the trade run.

Step 3 ......... If Price returns to AVWAP, don't exit but rather looked to add an additional trade. Trade 2

Price returns to AVWAP - means Mindfuck

Step 4 ......... Add another trade at AVWAP again. If price doesn't bounce long - EXIT whole position.

The reason AWAP or VWAP works so well on Stock & Future's charts is because many Hedge Fund / Bank Traders who are building positions are told only to Buy at VWAP or below - NEVER ABOVE. Therefore we have hidden Support or hidden resistance at these spots from Professional traders.

If you took this 2 hour trade trade one Gold Future's contract - result would be around $3K profit. The risk would only be around 12 Ticks.

There was also a fantastic Squeeze / AVWAP on ES Mini on Monday that was worth $11,000 trading just single contracts at a time (Perhaps I should not of been at a bar). I have traded this one again 5 times on Re-play mode on Motivewave to practice my execution skills.
That's Mindfuck

Happy Squeeze's next week guys

If I may ask.

I have been Trading for a long time, finding the "right" Exit has been always a tough one for me when I am adding into a Position.
I ended up defaulting for 1 Trade, no scaling in, going for a 1:2RR the math... maths out for me to be profitable, but I do know that scaling is a very powerful way not to only increase your profits, but even decrease your risk.

So my question... when do you exit a Trade?
And... if your answer is based on Delta/Volume, do you have another method?
Edit: I assume there are different methods you use based on different Entry styles. So I suspect the Answer isnt easy to give.

2nd Question:

You said the big bois use the VWAP. Is this limited to short term timeframes, or also used in long term Timeframes?

Cheers

Hi Cog

I am a Delta imbalance trader by default so for years I used to hunt 4-12 ticks per trade and exit. On a normal day I used to take 50-80 trade setups per session and used to be totally knacked after 4 hours trading. Profitability was dependent on Market Volatility so on a good day I would kill it and on a low Volatility I would end in RED due to trading costs.

What a stupid idea right?

I backtested many exit strategy's and always came up with two sure winners.
Either
1.. I EXIT a single entry trade as price collapses back over the 21EMA
2.. I place a AVWAP indicator on a breakout candle and keep adding at every bounce until it fails. THIS IS THE BEST STRATEGY I HAVE FOUND IN 30 YEARS TRADING
At each further breakout on STRONG VOLUME, we need a new AVWAP on intraday charts.

Intraday Charts work best using AVWAP as an Exit
Daily Charts work best using Weekly VWAP as an Exit

That's my opinion and some may disagree.
Cheers
