Nasdaq and EURUSD on ultra-low timeframes using multi-timeframe analysis and simple indicators to visualize momentum across different timeframes.

Also long-term trading using similar methodology, so there will be that from time to time.

Legend: Green day Red day Break-even day

Edit:
From post #15 started trading MNQ only in a faster style (similar strategy) with a lot more executions and a different risk management approach:

Realizations:
- Good deep reset on MTF is a must. Otherwise it's hard to expect 3X move. Otherwise it makes re-entering very risky.
- When HTF price action is in obvious stagnation - don't force it. Especially Nasdaq.

+3.6R

Away on a trip so I missed short-term trading NY, but I managed to hit 5 long-term trades. This should have been +5.6R, because two losers were completely unnecessary - I was going against the HTF volume momentum (VMD indicator). No idea why I did that.

+1R (+1 London, 0 New York)

- Not trading EURUSD for a while because I changed my setup a bit - Need full focus to adjust
- Still undecided about RRR - started with 1:1, ended with 1:3, which saved the day - but will it always?
- Also undecided about tick vs timebased charts - switched to tick for more speed
- Overall, many mistakes and bad entries, but still profitable, which gives me additional confidence in the strategy

Realisations:
- Timeframe #4 MACD zero-cross is very powerful (something like a super-signal)
- When it happens, think that it is very likely that price will make second push
- Then watch closely what the MACD's are doing on other timeframes
- Especially timeframe #2 (5 seconds if timebased) and divergences for precise entry
- Limit Orders can be very useful, even with tighter stoploss

Breaking my 17 profitable days streak, which is a new personal record!

Considering I deviated from my usual strategy to test a new super-fast scalping approach, and the loss is only -1R (almost break-even), not bad at all.

Journaling showed possible room for improvement so I will give myself another chance with this one.

Room for improvement:

Filter:
- For Long both HTF's (320t and 1280t) above zero and in the same direction
- For Short below zero and in the same direction
- Weakening momentum (lines converge, histograms change color) can be taken as the appropriate direction

Entries:
- Literally on every MTF (80t) pullback
- No need deep pullback
- LTF for additional confirmation of the end of MTF pullback
- Crucial to re-enter and open new positions as long as the filter gives a go

Risk Management:
- Can leave 40-50t for stop-loss size
- 1:1 also (entries on every MTF pullback will give a satisfactory amount of R's)

Continuing to test high-speed method. What a wild ride that was. Need to slowly build up my confidence to press.

Trade 1 - L
- maybe not good to Buy when 320T so high
- even though momentum weakened

Additional notes:
- Nasdaq exploded on opening. With previous approach there is no way I would dare buying on that move.
- It is crucial to enter on every signal - pullback of 80T within same momentum direction of two HTF's (320T and 1280T)

No good action in Nasdaq for me today.

Somehow I managed to wait for a good move, but it could easily have turned out differently.

Wiser to skip a session like this one.
