    • Brexit
    • Oil
  • Premarket Volume strength: Moderate

For the premarket volume check, CLF19 the only contract over 100k of volume with 6EZ18 not far behind. A good deal of bulls across the board leading up to the bell.

Topstep Trader Combine Futures mid-market recap

Total profit/loss = $0

  • No Trades Taken
  • Price action not good for my strategy

The market was just too choppy today for my strategy and I didn’t see any good setups before deciding to call it a day before 11:30 EST. With NQ climbing more than 1% in the premarket, I did not feel like it would keep trading long. Bulls were putting up a fight to push it higher, but the bears were just too determined to stop the continuation.

For me, it’s better to not force it and end up flat with no trades than try to force a trade and take a loser. The market will be open tomorrow, so I will have a chance to make some gains another day.

Key Points for Today’s Premarket Insight:

COB Recap

Total profit/loss = $185

  • TST loss $-220
  • AMP profit $405

Back in the live trading game strong. I recognized the pennant pattern forming, typical of the morning session lately, and waited for a good setup. Saw my opportunity and took it WITHOUT over-managing my trade and it worked out in a major way. 

Really ecstatic about my trading today! Not because of the money but because of the way I traded my strategy without psychologically screwing my trade up. Now all I need to do is keep doing that consistently.

Premarket volume strength moderate today with CLF19 the only contract above 100k of volume so far. Gold looking light on volume. In today’s premarket analysis I cover BTC/USD in conjunction to my normal watchlist of NQ, CL, GC and 6E. 

Now is probably not a good time to buy into Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. 

Key Points for Today’s Premarket Insight:

  • Economic Outlook
    • Employment
  • Yesterday’s retracement
  • Cryptocurrency selloff headlines
  • Bitcoin
  • Live trading preperation

Forgot to mention the premarket strength is moderate withCLF19 and 6EZ18 being over 100k. GCG19 is not far behind at 92k of volume.

Stay calm, plan the trade, and trade the plan.

COB Recap

Total profit/loss = $65

  • Only scalps on a choppy RTY
  • Missed early bullish move
  • Successful paper trade in Sierra Chart

Even though I struggled with RTY in Topstep trader, I crushed it on NQ paper trading in Sierra Chart! The market was a bit choppy in the first hour of the open before beginning to fall later in the morning session. I decided to end the day early being in the green and satisfied with my results for the day. 

Side note: Trading by support and resistance is really theway to go with RTY! I detail how this worked out for me in a big way in thevideo. Enjoy!
