This volatility is not going to stop soon. will be required probably the whole month if not more. I need to protect my account. So planned to switch on micros. 3/5 micros depending on the time of day. eventually scalemup if i see opportunity once the trade is in profits. i should have done earlier, i already saw this volatility in the past, and still caught me.
I base position size on a 20 day ADR. Currently, the ADR on indices is more than 3 times what it was. I was trading 4-5 micros, no I am trading 1-2. I am able to generate $250-$300 per day trading one micro on MYM, MES and MGC. Generally over 3-4 trades. For my risk tolerance, MNQ is too voliatle even for micros right now.

Yes main problem is on downside risk, must be larger now, approx 70/80 points or even more.
if yesterday was trading with 5 micros I would now have both accounts and both in good profits.
While 1 went blown. The other luckily up 1.2k
Have to go with a position size allowing me at least 80 points SL to target 100
usually 80 point is a lot, look the example 31March compared to yesterday
March

in my live account i was able to pre set the position by moving sl and tp lines, then position was done on a prefixed %.
this is not possible on tradingview i have wto work differently.
So, being it better to use a prefixed size, and knowing i need 80 point default… calculation is simple:
3 micros in early NY (500$ risk)
5 micros out of that (smaller sl, still 500$).

yesterday I was trading risking 600$ on a 25 points risk.
and still able to close +1.2k
thumbs up to me btw, but will not repeat the same mistake 3 times in a row.
2 is enough.

Trust in Chinese Presidency.

He is the only Person who can calm down US tariff threat.

In the coming days, ( time horizon not known ) , The cinese president can calm down gold price volatility.

The recent 10 day ADR is 79 dollars. ( for gold )

It used to be 40 to 45 dollars a month ago.

I can easily say, USA has made most of us ( Including americans ) to feel difficult to trade to gold and indices.

I fail to understand why on earth one trades MNQ or NQ.

The price breach happens within 30 mins after 6 PM EST after open. ( too much volatile )

Whether micro trading or mini trading, the trade accuracy is important. ( atleast 70 % ) to win consistently.

If one has no accuracy , one can only save account ( with micro trading ) but can not make profit, my honest opinion.

The somewhat ok optionto trade is gold or currency futures.

Trade win rate needs to be more than 90 % to make money.

I disagree on most of this.
I personally trade Nq simply because I like how it moves. It is clean, strong, and fast but most of all, I realized that my strategy fits perfectly on NQ.

the win ratio above 90 ?
for what reason? Makes no sense to me and my strategy.
yes, I also had 100% days. 70%. 90%….
also had 60% days but ended in loss!
could be 90% wins and still end in loss btw.

win ratio tells pretty nothing if not compared with other infos

ok.

My opinion is it moves very fast and reaches pricelimit level within 30 to 60 mins.

I do not trade NQ or MNQ. I prefer gold.

My wife trades MNQ and not NQ. She blows out accounts quickly. lol

what is your strategy ? I mean in asia or european session ? Any specific strategy you follow? It is not my question, It is my wife question. This is not a thread to share strategies, i know, but i can not deny my wife req. lol

So, in a 8 day trading cycle, you breach 30 % PNL, Let us assume that way. You continue to trade in that account for next 8 days?

Something, i heard of probation period.

What happenes to the profits you made in the first 8 day cycle? Wiped off ? or remains in the account ?

Hey, know you're getting it.
How could one trust the mainstream media, afterall, they told us......

good questions!
i don t kmow!!
I only know they denied me a payout and the only possible reason was a single trade went down 35.5%. SL was set 28% but a quick move made it fill lower. So denied a 2.5k payout out of 7k profits made, for a 300$ overexposure on a single trade.
Following payout was approved but equity was higher than the denied payout.
I guess they consider every payout period separately btw.
so if in 8 day you breached rules = denial
if no rules breached = approved

If the equity was higher than the denied payout in second 8 day cycle, i guess the profits made in first 8 day cycle remained in the account.
