Nasdaq(MNQ) / Oil(MCL) / Gold(MGC) Futures Live Trading Journal

Have been trading Futures since November 2019, only part time using my NT real account. I am considering transitioning to a full time trader and ditching my 9-5 job in early 2024. I have created this trading journal to keep track of my trades and to bounce ideas around about trading with like minded individuals. This thread is NOT a forecast or prediction on any contracts that I trade, it is just my humble opinion of where I think the price should go according to my trading strategy (TS). Before anyone asks me, this is NOT my TS, I learnt this trading method from another member on FF.

Some rules for myself and anyone else who wishes to post on this thread.

  1. Provide price entered your trade, along with SL, Targets when posting, if you can with a screenshot.
  2. Respect everyone's opinion.
  3. There is no right or wrong in any trade IMHO, there will always be a buyer and seller dependent on each persons trading strategy for any contract at any given point in time, provided there is liquidity available.
  4. I trade Nasdaq, Gold and Oil futures markets, but open to others posting their trades on other markets as well.

Not really sure what else to say, except Green pips for all retail traders, we are small fish in a very big pond and if we can take a small piece of the pie then we should be content and happy with that as this trading game is not easy.

Took me a while to figure out how to start a new thread, so all these trades were taken more than 1hr ago but I am still going to post them to keep track of my days trading.

All trades in Oil are counters now as it is bearish IMHO, the VWAPS all pointing down and in the right order, scalp cloud below swing cloud. So these long trades are risky, so I try to always have the overall picture in mind when entering counter trades and always make sure to have SL in place in case my entry is wrong or not timed correctly.
Short 2 lots MNQ
This is called bored/impatient trading, Nasdaq is sideways city right now
SL placed -10p

Looking for longs in MNQ above WR2 / 15,925.00 zone
Shorts below 15,850.00
