Here my stats from today: 90% avg. daily up ->nasdaq crash -> -20% avg. daily ->nasdaq ongoing ->+40% daily avg. ->last minute dow jones: -> +90% daily avg- > 130% daily avg. Guys. That is serious. I don't know what happened again last 2 minutes, may be news, may be short squeeze. but i don't know anymore how to handle that.
My last days were good but the up and down is horrific. Watch that sh*t:
How a retail trader is supposed to trade such a manipulation of the market? You see the 2 big 1 minute rushs down. and than the uprush again. That is pure driven by evil big money. THAT HAS TO STOP!! SEC!!! I go crazy on that!

The problem with that market is: it makes no sense and the Pa is accordingly. We have wild upswings and downswings, almost no retrace on tops or lows.
If you have 60 points down and up on one day without any retrace something is completely off and I don't mean the tweets. The only indices whic hyou can trade in an ok way-if you have enough money is currently dow jones because it is without all that fancy AI companies. Dax is also poisened by Tec.
It is currently extremely difficult to adapt all the time. I'm not able to make more than 25% currently per year without blowing off my risk completely. I cannot even live of that money. Horrible. I hope that war is ending soon. I miss the normal sessions.
Another point the is internal liquidity. That is the liquidity above the low and below the high. it is very low because everyone is afraid getting caught in the next leg down or up. How to trade that? I adapt but it is not fun.
I'm almost all day 100% drawdown on my avg. daily return - really pisses me off because of these crazyness.

ATR 1 Minute 24 for 1 hour now lol. Made 200% of avg. earnings today. Other said too, market delivered today but it's freaking crazy. We had one normal move today:
Just old times, do you still remember? no news, no spikes, no devasting candles in 2 minutes. and then... Bang (see big white) than everything started over. And I cannot even remember anymore if it was a tweet. probably.
