I trade Nasdaq intraday exclusively Trading in GMT time zone Sharing my post day review & analysis in case it can help you!
- Looking for a buy as Nasdaq is strong bullish – “The trend is your friend” - Noted a Double Top possibly forming on the D TF, with neckline at 15906 - On 4H TF noted that neckline previously acted as strong support – rejected 6 x 4H candles previously - On 1H TF noted the formation of a double bottom pattern at strong support level (orange circle) - Double bottom formed at temporary uptrend line marked in blue - Took long entry at break of the neckline of Double Bottom on 30min TF o Confirmations: Market pattern Strong support Trend line - Time of trade = +- 6:30 am GMT - My mental stop loss was placed at thick pink line o Mental because I like to see how candles look before closing o Nasdaq can sometimes spike you out o Placed here because if it broke this support it would drop significantly because of break of neckline of double top formation on 1H, 4H and D TF - In terms of profit taking: o I wanted to see how the day unfolded as trading was muted during Thanksgiving o Held through testing of EMAs and D pivot point o Eventually took profit in green circle based on candle stick formation +- 1000 pips
