In case anyone needs to hear this. Why are you trading right now? Wait for 2 central.

Made $2K today. I'll take it.

Made a proud .02% of the account today so I'm thinking about quitting the 9-5 and go the professional trading route.

When are you going full time and starting a discord dude?


You know I'd be up in there for a small monthly fee.

I'll give a real answer.

I'm really good at my day job and get paid a lot for it. I like it and I like the challenge. I would join a service where I can occasionally drop in and share stuff.

I don't post in this thread often because I have nothing intelligent to add, but I read it every day.

My trading account is very small, partially because I'm early in my career and partiality to keep from losing it all. I have not pursued options because I don't understand the strategy well enough yet.

My trading is essentially switching between tqqq and sqqq when the 8 and 20 EMA's cross and there's confirmation that its not a fake-out. I make ~2% of the money i trade with on an average day. I can only trade 2 days a week and sit out days I don't understand.

This week I started looking at Heikin-Ashi candles for guidance on when to stay in a position or exit, and my average day jumped to 5% of the money I trade with just from not exiting way too early or too late. I wanted to say thanks to Heineken for being a proponent of that tool.

Good stuff dude!

I have been backtesting trading TQQQ and SQQQ alone on using this very system with different time frames. 15 and 30 minute seem to yield the best results, but I'm still fine tuning it.

I've also starting monitoring the beer candles too! Really work well in conjunction with identifying the trend.

Also, very smart to start small.

A comment on trading services: the vast majority are run by hucksters with less experience than the vets on this board.

I can recommend good ones if you all need the help.

OA will run a good service in my opinion. He's a winner and more importantly a professional.

This is the 1-minute chart for the last hour on Friday. The channel between the lines was money. Reading up a little afterward, I guess it's called a "3-drive pattern"? How common is it to see this pattern?

I just bought ATM calls at the bottom line and sold as soon as I saw the first red volume bar pop up. All were just market orders, so they'd be fast.

When it broke above the top line I went in again, and that ended up being the most profitable trade of the day.

Does anybody else use the 1-minute to actively trade like that? This may be my new approach, because trying to set stops and profit exits so I can still work has been cumbersome and I don't end up getting any work done anyway. But with this approach, I had a fun and profitable little 45-60 minute run.
