NQ Targets (07-18-25)I have not posted a Target call in awhile, this one is Long to upper TZ (23,486) and Short to YTD Open level. Prior use of Diablo's to Target drop was prior to NAZ 25% drop (11/24 Post's).
We are due for some drop retesting as we watch typical Long Side Tweets, Tricks and Games start to fizzle some. Today into Monday will be a key signal.
NQH2020 trade ideas
NQ Range (07-23-25)The O/N slight lift back to Mid Level of range. The big Tweet regarding Japan, did show up after the close. Now we need to see how the Open Drive & Reg Session move today, may be snail lift higher 1st. The next bullish move would be F-M Long play. The selling just does not have much force or is part of the head fake prior to a decent drop test. Still Scalp Shorts to KL's and wait on some conviction selling to eventually show up.
Tuesday Long Trade for the NASDAQ 7/29I'm feeling ultra bullish on NQ right now. Ideally, I want to see price carve out an inverse head and shoulders or a double bottom—either could serve as a springboard to new highs. I took two longs this morning and captured solid gains off the weekly opening gap. Would love to see one final wick into that zone before we blast off.

NQ & ES Technical AnalysisGood evening my friends... This is my first time posting something on this platform. I decided to share my analysis on NQ & ES here with you, but without sharing strategies, rules and entry techniques. Only the key levels and scenarios... I will make one or two comments every day... I am very happy to share my ideas with you!!!
NQ Short (07-28-25)The F-M Long Rig is active with a Gap Up and Pump/Dump play. Just notice KL 486 and how/when the NAZ gets above. In O/N, the Reg Session and previous hits at 23,440 got rejected and is why you are seeing the move in the off session. The BTD/FOMO chase is active, Pump/Dump near Open today for next move.
Elliott Wave View: Nasdaq Futures (NQ_F) Poised To Extend HigherThe Nasdaq Futures (NQ_F) favors higher in bullish impulse sequence from April-2025 low. It already broke above December-2024 high & expect short term pullback in 3, 7 or 11 swings to remain supported. Impulse sequence unfolds in 5, 9, 13, 17, 21….. swings count. It ended daily corrective pullback in double correction at 16460 low of 4.07.2025 low. On daily, it should extend into 28864 – 26152 area to finish April cycle before next pullback start. Above there, it favors rally in (3) of ((1)). It placed (1) of ((1)) at 21858.75 high, (2) at 21071.50 low as shallow connector & favoring upside in 5 of (3) against 7.13.2025 low. Every pullback after 4.21.2025 low was shallow & unfolded in 3, 7 or 11 swings calling for more upside as long as it stays above 5.30.2025 low. Within (3), it ended 1 at 22222 high, 2 at 21566.75 low, 3 at 23102.50 high, 4 at 22803 low & favors upsides in 5 of (3). Wave 4 as flat correction ended in 7.13.2025 low of 22803 low.
Below 3 of (3) high, it placed ((a)) at 22779.75 low, ((b)) at 23112 high & ((c)) at 22803 low as flat connector against 6.22.2025 low. Above there, it ended ((i)) at 23424.75 high as diagonal & ((ii)) at 23108 low in 3 swing pullbacks. Above there, it should continue rally in ((iii)) of 5, which will confirm above 23424.75 high to avoid double correction. Within ((i)), it placed (i) at 23222.75 high, (ii) at 22835.5 low, (iii) at 23320.75 high, (iv) at 23169.50 low & (v) at 23424.75 high. Currently, it favors upside in 5 of (3) into 23493.5 – 23934.5 area, above 7.13.2025 low before (4) pullback. Based on swing sequence, it already has enough number of swings in (3) to call the cycle completed. But as long as it stays above price trendline, passing through 2 & 4, it should continue upside into extreme area. We like to buy the next pullback in 3, 7 or 11 swings at extreme area for intraday rally. It favors upside in April-2025 cycle & expected to remain supported in (4) & later in ((2)) pullback as next buying opportunity.
Bias is still Bullish However its month end Overall bias is still strong bullish, do note that its coming to end of month, either we pull back a bit or continues higher till end of month then pullback. Losing 23350 and 23300, probabilities of moving lower will higher since we had short squeeze move last Friday. Max Pain is 23020 can be use as a guide off futures movement.

NASDAQ - Fair Value GAP On NASDAQ , it's nice to see a strong buying reaction at the price of 23450.00.
There's a significant accumulation of contracts in this area, indicating strong buyer interest. I believe that buyers who entered at this level will defend their long positions. If the price returns to this area, strong buyers will likely push the market up again.
(FVG) - Fair Value GAP and high volume cluster are the main reasons for my decision to go long on this trade.
Happy trading

Intro to what I call Algo TradingAlgorithmic training can mean different things to different people what I mean when I say the term algorithmic trading is just things that happen automatically.
Some guys have like these really complex formulas and based on like all this really advanced mathematics. If I'm being 100% honest i'm essentially looking at pictures on a chart and looking at the patterns.
But the pictures on the chart themselves are based on really advanced mathematical formulas or they can be at least or a combination of multiple mathematical formulas that then that the result of our represented by a picture on a chart.
So I look at the pictures on the chart I analyzed them really carefully and if it looks good I use artificial intelligence to code the idea so it happens automatically based on the rules that I set.
NQ : Scalping levelsHere's a very likely scenario on the NQ trade. Once the price grows back, you can take short pullbacks from these levels.
Be careful on trading on the news. It is better not to trade in them. Also, the levels are unlikely to work in illiquid times.
I will post the results of the levels and my trades in the comments if everything will be according to the scenario.

**Wisdom of Professional Traders:**
This analysis synthesizes insights from thousands of professional traders and market experts, leveraging collective intelligence to identify high-probability trade setups. The wisdom of crowds principle suggests that aggregated market perspectives from experienced professionals often outperform individual forecasts, reducing cognitive biases and highlighting consensus opportunities in NASDAQ Futures.
**Key Insights:**
NASDAQ Futures exhibit strong recovery potential but face technical resistance at $23420. The market momentum suggests short-term bullishness despite concerns about seasonal reversals in late August to October. Traders are advised to focus on breakout scenarios while employing risk mitigation strategies including hedges.
**Recent Performance:**
Over the past six months, NASDAQ Futures have displayed substantial volatility. After a steep drop of 27%, the index staged an impressive 40% recovery. Such swings highlight heightened risk yet underscore resilience, bolstered by strong inflows into technology stocks.
**Expert Analysis:**
Analysts caution against overcrowded positions in mega-cap tech stocks dominating NASDAQ Futures. While the rally has offered compelling returns, seasonal risks suggest potential reversals during late summer and early autumn. Diversification strategies into less-crowded sectors may enhance portfolio robustness.
**News Impact:**
Recent announcements around AI adoption, earnings beats by key technology firms, and federal monetary policy stabilization have bolstered sentiment in tech-heavy indices, including NASDAQ Futures. Continued interest in growth stocks adds fuel to the bullish narrative despite looming risk factors.
**Trading Recommendation:**
Traders should consider a LONG position based on strong bullish sentiment and favorable technical setups. However, risk factors such as seasonal reversals and crowded trades in large-cap technology stocks require prudent stop levels and diversification strategies to protect against downside vulnerabilities.

Scalper’s Paradise Part 3 – The Power of Order Flow and DOMWelcome back to Scalper’s Paradise! In this third part of the series, I want to take you into one of the most powerful tools in professional trading: Order Flow and the Depth of Market (DOM).
I chose this topic because during my time as an institutional trader, this was our entire world. We didn’t use indicators. We didn’t guess. We traded exclusively based on what we could see happening live in the DOM and Time & Sales. Every decision was made tick by tick, based on real market activity.
That experience shaped the way I view markets forever—and today, I want to share that perspective with you.
What Is Order Flow, Really?
To me, Order Flow is the most honest information the market can give you. It doesn’t predict, it reveals. It shows who is actually making moves right now. When I was sitting at my institutional desk, I didn’t look at moving averages or oscillators. I looked at who was being aggressive: were market buyers lifting offers, or were sellers smashing the bid?
Watching the tape (Time & Sales) and the footprint chart was like watching a fight unfold in real time. No filters, no guesses. Just raw interaction between buyers and sellers. That’s where real decisions are made.
The DOM: My Daily Reality as a Trader
The DOM (Depth of Market) was the first thing I looked at every morning, and the last thing I closed at night. It shows all visible limit orders resting at each price level. But there’s a catch: not everything you see is real.
In the institution, we were trained to spot real interest versus manipulation. Stacked bids might look strong, but if they disappear the moment price drops tells you that there was never a true intent. Iceberg orders were more interesting, when price gets hit again and again and doesn’t move, that usually meant someone was absorbing quietly.
Reading the DOM is like reading an X-ray of the market’s intentions. And yes, there’s a lot of noise, a lot of deception. But once you learn to read through it, it’s the most powerful tool you’ll ever have.
How We Used Order Flow on the Institutional Side
At the institution, we never chased price. That was rule number one. We let the market come to us (meaning: we used Limit Orders as often as possible) and we used Order Flow to guide every decision.
One of the most important concepts was absorption . If we needed to build a large long position, we didn’t just slam the ask. We would let sellers come in and hit our bids again and again and again. If price didn’t break lower, that told us we were in control.
On the flip side, when we needed to move the market , we switched gears. We used market orders aggressively to push through key levels, forcing reactions, triggering stops, and creating follow-through.
And yes, there were times when we intentionally created traps . We’d push price into obvious zones, make it look like a breakout, then fade it, because we knew how the market reacts afterwards. Order Flow was the only way to read those games in real time.
How You Can Use This as a Retail Trader
I know what you might be thinking: “I’m just a retail trader, how can I possibly use tools like Order Flow or DOM the way institutions do?”
The good news is: you don’t have to compete with institutions, you just need to read their intentions.
Here’s how I would approach it today:
1) Open a footprint chart and look for imbalances, areas where one side is clearly more aggressive. Watch for absorption or sudden volume spikes.
2) Watch the Time & Sales feed. Is there a flurry of trades hitting the ask, but price isn’t moving? That’s someone selling into strength.
3) Use the DOM around key areas like VWAP, previous day high/low, or liquidity clusters. Are orders getting pulled? Is size appearing suddenly? These are all signals.
You don’t need to be early. Let the big player act first, then confirm what you’re seeing across Order Flow and DOM. When everything aligns, that’s your edge.
Bringing It All Together
In Part 1, I shared how we used VWAP and Volume Profile as benchmarks to evaluate execution quality. In Part 2, I showed you how I identify institutional activity using raw volume and 10-second charts. And now, in Part 3, you’ve seen the real-time decision-making tools: Order Flow and DOM.
These aren’t indicators. They’re not theories. They’re the actual battlefield where institutions operate and where I learned to trade.
My goal with this series has always been simple: to give you access to the same mindset I used at the institutional level, but through a lens that makes sense for your reality as a retail trader.
Don’t try to outsmart the market. Observe it. Align with the big players. Let their behavior guide your decisions.
That’s how I learned to trade professionally—and it’s exactly how you can start thinking and acting like a pro, even without the size.

NQ Short (07-16-25)NAZ again can't hold on the Monday off session pump during the Reg Session and does hit lower zone of 22,920. Next trick is Gov't controlled news (released in off session of course) should that not lift it then KL's 881-780 may be next.
The NAZ will go lower under 780 and will be a Strong Short under 22,700. The issue is with getting past the off session propping/rigging (up). Circles to the left are drop target zones that are likely to be revisited as ultimately the NAZ goes sideways in a larger range. The current 14 day sideways moves feels like an Long Mop up or Long Trap. The NAZ will need Tweets, O/N Prop moves and Dead Zone magic lifting to stay away from the Danger Zone of sell orders near 22,881-780.
NQ Weekly Outlook & Game Plan 20/07/2025NQ Weekly Outlook & Game Plan
🧠 Fundamentals & Sentiment
Market Context:
NQ continues its bullish momentum, driven by institutional demand and a supportive U.S. policy environment.
📊 Technical Analysis:
Price is currently in price discovery, and the weekly structure remains strongly bullish — so I prefer to follow the strength.
We might see a minor retracement before pushing further above the all-time high (ATH).
🎯 Game Plan:
I'm expecting a potential retracement to the 0.5 Fibonacci level, which is the discount zone in a bullish environment.
Interestingly, the 4H liquidity zone aligns perfectly with the 0.5 Fib level — this confluence suggests price may gather enough energy from there to make new highs.
✅ Follow for weekly recaps & actionable game plans.
Shorting NQ Yep, weakness started to creep in on NQ this time.
Firstly, the higher timeframes shows massive divergence, even when whales tried to push the price high and continue the trend, massive shorts came in with massive volume. It only tells me that bears are in control this time, and they are coming in with force.
So technically, iam looking for a short up until 22,858
What is really confusing is that also gold is showing weakness which is really something odd, so either iam right in my analysis for Gold and NQ or iam wrong in one of them.
But we will see.
