Previous Session Review

I shared specific entry levels for the 4 hourly short entries that triggered during the European session. ES gave 12 points, NQ gave 101. The plan was to look for those shorts to trigger, then watch price flush towards Tuesday’s low of day and look for long setups there. It worked perfectly, and we got textbook Diagonal Entry Models to give snipers during US pre-market and long at open.

The system gave:

  • ES 37 points long;

  • NQ 175 points long.

New and updated Three Level Trade Plans every single day - and my levels are fluid, not fixed. It allows for risk adjusted position management: big size, small risk. All explained in the first three articles of my trading course. Link in bio.

Three Diagonals Will Change Your Life


D1 - Daily chart update

Tech weakness persists as ES makes a higher high while NQ makes a lower high. Yesterday I proposed that we should expect D1 EMA9 to attempt to lead price higher - this worked. NQ now has to take out the high to confirm the higher low. This is because a higher low that fails to make a new high becomes a failed swing. Eye on jobless claims, unemployment rate and non farm payrolls today as we set up for the weekend.

For today, we have to stay on the 4 hourly chart, where NQ is ready to trigger short while buyers have one final shot at a higher low to set up the break out, and ES has to backtest H4 EMA9 and confirm the break out. Backtests are higher lows. If these backtests fail to make new highs, sellers take control and will attempt to target level 3.
