2025-06-23 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaq e-miniGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Not even the US President joining a war can start the selling. Truly a special time. Above 22130 there is no reason this can’t test 22300 or higher. Market clearly does not care about the event and the pain trade seems up. Can’t hold bearish thoughts after today’s reversals. Very small chance that if we stay below 22130, bears come around and we test down to 21800 or lower. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 21500 - 22300 bull case: Bulls had the following legs up today: 380, 260, 350 points from swing lows to highs. On such a day, this is as bullish as it gets. They now need to print a higher high and then there is no more obvious reason why we can’t test back up to 22300 or higher. Invalidation is below 21900. bear case: Bears vanished after the double bottom in the US session and market closed at the high. Which is worst case for bears. Above 21130 they have to cover and I expect an acceleration upwards. If they somehow come around strongly and we go below 21950, then chances are decent that we can test down to 21800 again. Bears need to sell it early tomorrow or the bear trend line is gone and we could go much higher. Invalidation is above 22130. short term: Neutral. Only interested in shorts if we stay below 22130. I still think markets are grossly miss-priced and complacent but for now that thesis is wrong. medium-long term - Update from 2024-06-22: Daily close below 21500 is my validation for the new bear trend which has the first bigger target at 21000 but I think we will printed below 20000 again this year. Structure is obviously not yet bearish, so don’t be early if you want confirmation and can’t/won’t scale in to shorts higher. Getting into longer term shorts above 21500 seems like the banger trade right now. trade of the day: Buying literally every dip was good.

US–Iran Conflict Triggers a Potential Nasdaq Bearish Setup🟣 Geopolitical Flashpoint Meets Technical Confluence The U.S. weekend airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities has reignited geopolitical instability across the Middle East. While broader markets often absorb news cycles quickly, high-beta assets like Nasdaq futures (NQ) tend to react more dramatically—especially when uncertainty meets existing technical vulnerability. Monday’s session opened with a notable gap to the downside, reflecting immediate risk-off sentiment among futures traders. While the initial drop is being retraced intraday, historical patterns suggest that such gap-fills can often serve as ideal shorting zones—particularly when other bearish signals confirm the narrative. The backdrop is clear: this is no ordinary Monday open. 🟣 Bearish Divergence on CCI Builds the Case From a technical standpoint, the setup gains weight through a clear bearish divergence on the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) using a 20-period setting. While prices recently pushed higher, momentum failed to follow—an early indication that buyers may be running out of steam. This divergence appears just as price approaches the origin of Friday’s gap, a level that frequently acts as a resistance magnet in such contexts. This confluence of weakening momentum and overhead supply aligns perfectly with the geopolitical catalyst, offering traders a compelling argument for a potential reversal in the short term. 🟣 Gap Origin: The Line in the Sand The origin of the gap sits at 21844.75, a price level now acting as potential resistance. As the market attempts to climb back toward this zone, the likelihood of encountering institutional selling pressure increases. Gap origins often represent unfinished business—zones where prior bullish control was suddenly interrupted. In this case, the added layer of global tension only strengthens the conviction that sellers may look to reassert dominance here. If price action stalls or rejects at this zone, it could become the pivot point for a swift move lower, especially with bearish momentum already flashing caution signals. 🟣 Trade Plan and Reward-to-Risk Breakdown A potential short trade could be structured using 21844.75 as the entry point—precisely at the gap origin. A conservative stop placement would rest just above the most recent swing high at 22222.00, offering protection against a temporary squeeze. The downside target aligns with a prior UFO support area near 20288.75, where demand previously showed presence. This sets up a risk of 377.25 points versus a potential reward of 1556.00 points, resulting in a reward-to-risk ratio of 4.12:1. For traders seeking asymmetrical opportunity, this ratio stands out as a strong incentive to engage with discipline. 🟣 Futures Specs: Know What You’re Trading Traders should be aware of contract specifics before engaging. The E-mini Nasdaq-100 Futures (NQ) represent $20 per point, with a minimum tick of 0.25 worth $5.00. Typical margin requirements hover around $31,000, depending on the broker. For smaller accounts, the Micro Nasdaq-100 Futures (MNQ) offer 1/10th the exposure. Each point is worth $2, with a $0.50 tick value and much lower margins near $3,100. 🟣 Discipline First: Why Risk Management Matters Volatility driven by geopolitical events can deliver fast gains—but just as easily, fast losses. That’s why stop-loss orders are non-negotiable. Without one, traders expose themselves to unlimited downside, especially in leveraged instruments like futures. Equally critical is the precision of entry and exit levels. Acting too early or too late—even by a few points—can compromise an otherwise solid trade. Always size positions according to your account, and never let emotion override logic. Risk management isn’t a side-note—it’s the foundation that separates professionals from those who simply speculate. When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.

NQ Update 6.22.25NQ is currently sitting monthly and weekly supply zones. On the weekly chart, price has consolidated upward but has mostly rejected every push into ATHs. Note that there are still two untested highs with volumes of 2.336M and 3.392M sitting above. The last time price touched these points there was a 26.60% drawdown on SPY. Indicating lots of liquidity that could still be tapped before making a big move down, IF price decides to drop from here. In addition to these bearish indicators, price is testing a monthly and weekly downtrend line while creating a head n shoulders pattern. Which could also be signaling a rejection of price. Despite what I am seeing, I will treat price as if it is still bullish until market structure indicates otherwise. On the daily timeframe, price can be seen to be clearing trending into a rising wedge. This chart pattern is known to be a bearish pattern but it can also signal a breakout continuation which is why it is important to wait for confirmation and never assume direction. With price holding and sitting at the uptrend and downtrend on the LTFs, as well as 21,816 being a key area that price seems to be consolidated around. I will wait for price to break consolidation and choose a side before placing any trade on NQ. If you MUST place a trade, do not place a trade until price moves above or below 21,922 and 21,775, respectively.

#202525 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq e-mini futuresGood Day and I hope you are well. comment: Full bear mode. Below 21600 we see 21000 come real fast and bulls can kiss 22000+ goodbye for months or years. Market has not found enough buyers above 22000 for a month and we not got another potential huge risk-off event which will likely be too much for big institutions to ignore. Print above 22000/22100 means I am wrong. Last week my bearish thesis was that we go down from last Friday but since market did not touch the daily ema for so long, we got another week sideways. Now bears got help from orange face and I can not see them coming back from this as well. current market cycle: trading range - daily close below 21500 confirms my thesis key levels for next week: 20900 - 21800 bull case: Still no close below daily ema but markets failed to print higher highs for 2 weeks now. If we gap down and print below 21500, you can not hold long on hope. Got nothing for the bulls unless they print above 22000 again and even then we can only expect sideways. Invalidation is below 21500 bear case: I have laid out my bear case for the markets enough by now. I see a move below 21500 as confirmation and especially a daily close below. 21000 is the next obvious target before we can expect a pullback. 20400ish would be my next target below since that is the big bull gap close. Invalidation is above 22000/22100 short term: Full bear mode. Expecting a big futures gap down on open and a daily close below 21500 if not 21000, which would mean we are in W1 which could be a spike and then only move sideways before W3 comes around. I have drawn a probably path down over the next weeks. medium-long term - Update from 2024-06-22: Daily close below 21500 is my validation for the new bear trend which has the first bigger target at 21000 but I think we will printed below 20000 again this year. Structure is obviously not yet bearish, so don’t be early if you want confirmation and can’t/won’t scale in to shorts higher. Getting into longer term shorts above 21500 seems like the banger trade right now.

Automated Execution: TradingView Alerts → Tradovate using AWS LaI’ve built a fully automated pipeline that takes live TradingView alerts and turns them into real orders in Tradovate. Here’s how it works, step by step (I will provide a video on it): PineScript Alerts My indicator/strategy in TradingView fires alert() with a JSON payload (symbol, side, qty, price, ATR, ENV). Webhook to AWS Alerts hit an API Gateway endpoint in AWS, invoking a Lambda function. Lambda Processing Parse the JSON from TradingView. Calculate Stop‐Loss & Take‐Profit using ATR. Authenticate to the Tradovate API (demo & live environments). Place an OCO order (placeOSO) with proper bracket legs. Send a confirmation message to my Telegram channel. Tradovate REST API Auth: POST /auth/accesstokenrequest → accessToken List accounts: GET /account/list → find accountId Place OCO: POST /order/placeOSO with entry, SL, TP Testing & Monitoring Local smoke tests of Telegram bot. Lambda console test events for sample payloads. CloudWatch logs for debugging & alerts on errors. Why it matters: Zero manual steps from signal to fill. Consistent risk management via ATR‐based SL/TP. Clear audit trail: logs in AWS + Telegram notifications. Educational resource for anyone building similar setups Feel free to ask questions or suggest improvements! Please leave comments.

NQ2025 – Clean Liquidity Sweep & OB Rejection Leads to Trend ConDescription (for the Idea post): NASDAQ Futures (NQ2025) - June 19th Setup Breakdown Market showed textbook Smart Money behavior today. 🔹 Key Highlights: Price swept the Saturday Low and Wednesday Low, triggering sell-side liquidity. Reaction from an old Order Block + Fair Value Gap (FVG) zone near 21,780. Market Structure Break confirmed the bearish bias. Retest of OB/FVG zone provided a clean low-risk entry. Targets were cleanly delivered into 21,678 and beyond. 🔹 Confluences: ✅ Liquidity Sweep ✅ OB + FVG Rejection ✅ Volume Spike & BOS ✅ Trend aligned with overall bearish bias 📌 Plan Going Forward: I’m watching for retracements to prior support-turned-resistance (21,740–21,780) for potential continuation plays. Will stay bearish unless a CHoCH above 21,800 with volume and bullish structure forms. Comment below with how you traded this setup or how you're managing it!

Trade Idea: Nasdaq Q2 Premium Rejection | Mother of HTFNQ is showing early signs of macro exhaustion after rallying deep into Q2 premium territory and failing to hold above it. A key swing high was formed on June 13, in perfect confluence with: 🔻 Q2 0.75 level 🟥 Quarterly Premium Zone 📉 Bond market divergence (ZB1! failed to confirm ZF1!/ZN1! strength) 🗣️ (Not a bond expert, just observing behavior) This type of confluence has historically preceded liquidity draws back to EQ or even discount levels. 📐 Levels I’m Watching Q1 Mid (~20,975): Strong magnet if we break lower Q2 EQ (~19,975): Next likely draw if structure shifts MOOD (~21,460): Holding above this pauses deeper sell bias Q2 Premium Zone (22,300–22,500): Rejection zone and CPI swing high (June 11-13) Discount Block (18,300–17,500): Long-term liquidity void if momentum builds ❌ Invalidation NQ reclaims and holds above 22,300–22,500 ⚠️ Disclaimer This is NOT financial advice.
