Swing Trade MNQ/NQE-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME_MINI:NQ1!SidgateShort version IF-THEN Atomic Logic Chain IF a sharp pullback sweeps a structural level THEN wait for a reclaim IF a reclaim occurs THEN wait for descending-value acceptance (1 - 3 descending hinges) IF descending-value acceptance forms THEN enter in descending value inside the hinge(s) Scale out into the impulse leg. Example: 7/17 was a sharp pullback and reclaim. 7/20 had five laddered descending hinges 7/21 had five laddered descending hinges all higher than the 7/20 hinges These ten descending hinges represented buyers defending value not sellers in control. It was a controlled compression above the sweep low of 7/17. After each of these ten hinges was fully formed, meaning the break bar formed, then you would buy in descending value. I usually buy the lip and buy in descending value of 10 points, or 20 points or whatever. IF a 2nd lower hinge fully forms and breaks I do likewise and so on. Had you done so you would have had a number of contracts. The ideal time to exit all would have been when PX reached the microbalance 29280 - 29340. Hopefully this is clear. Come back and look again. Most likely more will be added to this post in order to make it crystal clear. The main principles are this: 1. Sharp pullback 2. Reclaim 3. Buyers defend a new lower value It occurred to me that I almost exclusively focus on day trading MNQ/NQ. I have touched upon swing trading but not in much detail. The last several days have presented an ideal example to illustrate this swing trading plan. IF it seems unclear THEN I have failed to explain it clearly. That's on me not you. Therefore, I shall try harder to make this crystal clear.
