mental stops on all with catastrophe stops @ -250

 

YM @ 11235

NQ @ 1746

DAX @ 6140

FTSE @ 5233

 

-250 on YM is hardly a catastrophe these days, Wasp. Better widen that to -1000!

Utter madness, Very surprised if we break 300 without some sort of pullback.

 

Just got back to see I have been filled short at 11300, my exit was at 255, unfortunately it did not hit, I have had to move my stop to 310 now, any spike now and I am shafted....

11300-ish is certainly a key level. Tend to think it'll hit 350 before going down much, though.

 

350 would have been a great entry...

Thats nearly 900 ponts without reversing...

where do the experienced emini intraday traders stand on this?

surely a significant move down is due to produce the higher low??

Nice one!

Do I hate it when it does this, clean as a bell premarket and we fall 200 pips in the 1st 5 minutes of the open...

Now trading premarket is a viable alternative for me...

good memory wasp!

 

in my case always done both, maily cable and dow. dow is my main now as i can get a few solid hours in each night.

 

the onset of full time trading will see me exploring fx again, probably just the main ones and on a larger t/f than im operating on now. great work on the 1000 pip btw well done....probably makes the events of earlier in the week seem distant now. you still taking a break?

Still in 2 minds... That earlier event still bugs me!

 

I want the break but I also have a goal this year which I haven't reached as yet. I really should reach it in order for next year to be ideal from day 1 but may just take a week or two of then try and finish up pre December if I can.

 

I think swinging FX is a great idea. Have this discussion with FW a lot and why he wouldn't swing but I do is the 24hr market (no gaps except weekends) so it smooths FX out so nicely that you really can just ride it constantly like you were on a rollercoaster.

that was exactly my thinking, have something ticking over on fx while playing the indicies intra day. will have to get more monitors though! 2 is only just enough as it is.

 

lol! I was actually contemplating trading US Stocks whilst FX ran in the background but don't want to over stress my poor brain!

    • Date: 22nd January 2025.   Netflix Earnings Surge Driving the NASDAQ to Monthly Highs!   The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, gaining momentum after Netflix stocks rise more than 15%. Earnings reports are gaining speed for the technology sector, but why has Netflix stocks seen such a high and sudden rise in demand? Netflix Stocks Increase 15% Supporting the NASDAQ! Netflix stocks have been one of the best-performing stocks within the NASDAQ, rising more than 79% in 12 months. However, even for Netflix, a 15% rise in less than 24 hours is considered substantial. The quarterly earnings report was made public by Netflix after the market closed on Tuesday. The earnings report confirmed the following: Netflix beat their earnings per share expectations - $4.27 reported vs $4.21 expectations. Netflix’s revenue surpasses the previous quarter - $10.25 billion this quarter vs $9.82 billion in the previous quarter. The online streaming company confirms projects to expand into live sport and event streaming will proceed. In addition to this, the company’s forward guidance for 2025 remains positive. Netflix is the 10th most influential company for the NASDAQ meaning the positive earnings data and bullish price movement supports the overall price of the NASDAQ. In addition to this, the positive earnings improve the sentiment towards the entire US technology sector. Investors will now turn their attention to the quarterly earnings report for Intuitive Surgical. Intuitive Surgical stocks on Tuesday rose 1.94%. How is the Economy And Politics Affecting the NASDAQ?     The US stock market is witnessing an upward correction after struggling in the last weeks of 2024. The bullish price movement is a result of a sharp decline in bond yields, the new US administration and earnings season. Investors remain relieved that bond yields have fallen back down from the 5.00% level. If bond yields continue to decline further, particularly below 4.50%, the move would be deemed as positive for the US stock market. President Trump took office on Monday and so far the pro-US rhetoric from the President, Vice President and Secretary of State continues to support the stock market. So far, the main concern is how upcoming tariffs can negatively affect inflation and growth. However, some economists advise tariffs will become the “norm” and may have a lesser effect compared to 2018. However, this is something traders will continue to evaluate and monitor. The VIX this morning fell 0.83% lower and trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days. The lower VIX indicates a higher risk appetite towards the stock market. If the VIX continues to decline a strong buy indication may materialize. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday. However, Apple stocks, the most impactful stock, fell 3.19% due to poor sell data. If Apple stocks continue to decline, the NASDAQ’s upward trend may come under strain. In the meantime, investors over the next week will continue to monitor upcoming earnings reports. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the index is trading significantly higher than all Moving Averages on a 2-hour timeframe and relatively high on oscillators. These factors indicate that buyers are controlling the order book. However, price action also confirms the latest impulse wave measures 3.43% which is normally the point at which the index retraces. This is something that investors may also consider. The retracement potentially also may be triggered by Netflix buyers quickly selling to cash in profit after the sudden 15% bullish surge. If a retracement does indeed form, price action and the 75-period EMA indicates that the pullback may drop as low as $21,391.30.     Key Takeaways: The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, but price action signals a possible retracement before continuing its bullish trend. Netflix stocks increase more than 15% due to strong earnings data. Netflix beat earnings and revenue expectations by 1.39% and confirmed projects to add live sports streaming to its platforms. The VIX trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days and US Bond Yields remain at recent lows. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday.
