My transactions this morning. The day continues {image}
So at the end of the week if you are up 20R then how amazing is that going into next week.
Yet some people settle for just 2-4R a week and call it profitable. They're leaving too much on the table because maybe they're happy to stay inside of the box and comfort zone.
Trading 10 times in 1 day can seem like over trading and I don't encourage it but if the Nova system and context is showing a trade then take it
Remember though... If price starts to stall and Nova volume starts getting low or has divergence then be careful especially if you've already had a good run.
There will always be losses around the corner but you need a mechanical system to know when to stop.
So maybe stop when price hits previous day low or high or previous session high low etc...

Transactions of the day. I only follow at 1m. The system is very simple and plain. Do not complicate the process by adding different concepts and interpretations of your own (HTF confirmation, FVG, session openings, etc.). Simply do whatever the system tells you mechanically, without adding any comments.

A few Nova trades from this afternoon.. missed London session due to work but caught some beauties while it was going south {image}
You missed that pretty little imbalance that broke the low on the last BE trade.

first of all, congratulations that it’s working so well for you
I really have to think about your statement above. Not considering HTF context? Ignoring session opening times? I find that quite difficult.
For example, looking at your entries today, I wouldn’t have taken the first trade because the Asia Low was right below it and price had to break through it. The next trade was just minutes before the London Open. Should that really be ignored? Do you really only look at the M1 chart? Maybe I’m just overthinking it.

{quote} This my guy is EXACTLY what I've been wanting people to discover lol Who cares about losses right? you have both imbalance entries AND nova signals to eat off. Thanks for keeping the thread active and also to everyone else too! (including my day 1 Axecap) Once you discover the power of it you won't look back honestly
think always it will be an individual thing how one see the price movement and eventually i place in the wrong place the imbalance.. isnt there a indicator eventually that help us for this zones? (i ask only for a friend <--- we all know this question, eventually i take a laugh from the one or other hahaha) have a nice trading day and end of week

You don't actually need to know anything other than where the ema direction is and just trade until you maybe lose 2 in a row or something.
The beauty of it is seeing how people decide to use it... For me in my brain I'm looking for things like pdl pdh pwh pwl daily open asia high low etc........
But for other people they just do what they do and that's it.
So you're totally right for thinking what he/she said doesn't make sense but the thing is... Nobody is wrong as long as it's working for you somehow.
How I trade successfully could be all structured and how someone else trades successfully could be completely rogue but if it works then that's great.
I can't trade H1 or higher because I don't have the patience for those tfs... With nova it sort of teaches you that you do t need to be patient waiting all day or week for 1 setup only to get 2R when I can get 10R in a 2 hr session
Anyways I'm super happy that you are all making Nova work for you in whatever way you decide to

{quote} Thank you very much for your congratulations. As you know, we can't know exactly where the price will go. We only take trades based on predictions. The first trade was near the Asian bottom; if I had looked at it, it would have been a risky trade. I didn't look; I took the trade based on what the system gave me. I approach it completely mechanically, like a robot. I only pay attention to the times before the US opening and before news hours because volatility is high. I take trades at 1 million. Our system is based on a hit-and-run strategy,...
Hit and run... I like that
it's so true... It really is hit and run and take what you can.The only time you need to know something is when you are near a key level that exists on the HTF so that you can minimise losses.
But if you went full rambo and still came out profitable then we can't say anything
Congratulations on being profitable this week with the system
