NQ Targets (08-26-22)

1566
Today's 200 points came in a strange way, 5 minutes in middle of night and another in final 20 minutes. Low volume and nothing but lifting with ease. Just not the usual NAZ. Again, most of gains come in O/N and selloff in Open after a pop. Dead Zone to push back up after the drop. Strange days and looking like a great long tarp. The NAZ is well above Danger Zone, this is for a reason.
Note
NAZ out of short term channel and back in long term.
snapshot
Note
Looking to Short the NAZ at 13200. Will set alarm and review at level.
Note
NAZ gave back final 20 minute close rig and back at top of 2am 5 minute rig pop, out of long term channel, I have TLX at 13050 as KL.
snapshot
Note
For those that use IDS, this a good example of a Long set up and Short. Yesterday when I was closing the Short, I missed the Long set up. This is hard to do, in the heat of the moment and requires a strick system. Whites are Long and Yellow Shorts. You need to match up the upper indicator with Price Action. The current drop (blue lines) are or could be creating a long set up. The upper indicator whilte signal line is key here and needs to get up for the Long to be higher probable. Point is we got the Short trade yesterday and missed the Long because of the mind set and not the system.
snapshot
Note
13119 is the level to watch, Long above and short below. Stalling long will drop.
snapshot
Note
NAZ is juiced so much with prop, I may not be taking any Long trades today. I will wait until all signals are solid before I take that trade. 13077 is looking Long and should go test 13119, lest see if it works.
Note
No go and dropped to 68, Notice the lower highs with white peaks. The price needs to break yellow line and retest for the Long trade to be solid.
snapshot
Note
20 retest, Looks weak but these moves usually get propped then fall.
snapshot
Note
Prop fade, prop fade.
Note
13119, did not hold.
snapshot
Note
NAZ is actually not moving lower with force, drifting. Stay with 119 being the short zone with trailing stop.
snapshot
Note
NAZ back in the Box and may try for 13000 retest.
snapshot
Note
Danger Zone 12850 WILL HOLD as the defenders WILL Step in. This will be interesting.
Note
NAZ in Danger Zone, now you know why all the previous propping was taking place. This should be max drop.
Note
You can stay Short or try and trade any retrace back up. 12750 would be the zone and this is your call. You know the riggers will show up in the DZ, pop, stall and drop. Otherwise trail stop your short.
Note
Danger Zone low target is 12665 should lift from Riggers not develop, stepping away.
Note
12760 Long for 100, 30 stop
Note
They will try to get NAZ out of Danger Zone.
Note
Trading on the edge
Note
Stop at 60
Note
NAZ has moved less than normal, will generate additional points up prior to another drop.
Note
Pop to 850 and close or reverse.
Note
Weak rigger PA showing up, stop at 12780
Note
95 should bounce.
Note
Looking like retest, then pop.
Note
80 stop look to reload long at 60
Note
Good news is you closed the short at current bottom.
Note
80 hit +20, watch 60
Note
going to bounce, riggers have strength and do not want to EOD be in DZ.
Note
Plan for balance is, out of Danger Zone by EOD and prop Magic into Monday. They will spin the good bad or bad good play.
Note
CME 485K so far, decent.
Note
Long at 60 or close too, with 20 stop. Use profit on last scalp.
Note
12760 does not hold should drop 100. be quick with retest from under trade.
Note
Huge negative ticks and NAZ not dropping?? May see some magic here.
Note
Stepping out, retest to Short at 60 or pop up. Going with pop up and stop at 40
Note
stopped -20
Note
BTD, where are the RIGGERS?, this is too funny.
Note
Original Long at 750 was close, lets see how this goes.
Note
Long at 40 to 850. Going for it, RIGGER Magic will prevail. 30 stop
Note
A bottom stall on a huge down day is not good, can go either way. And on a Friday, do not follow on this one. Points to play with.
Note
Stopped -30. No Rigging.
Note
Long at 18 stop 30 back, 3 contracts.
Note
12760 close trade.
Note
stop at 18
Note
stopped - 0
Note
NAZ is frozen, feeling like a POP in works. Up 50% of drop. Lets see.
Note
Having fun today. NAZ stays in DZ we are going to 12400 - 200 early next week.
Note
Such a stall will require a lift prior to a deeper drop, that is why I am looking counter long now. These counter Longs actually turn into Long Rallies as the BTD's and FOMO's just push them higher on low volume.
Note
Crazy high negative Ticks and NAZ not moving lower, this is odd. Something is up here. 5-10 point moves.
Note
Trickle to 12665, mentioned earlier and just did not believe the Riggers would let this happen after all that hard work the 3 prior days. This is good to see and sorry I missed some.
Note
Wow, Mid Lower Channel 12600
snapshot
Trade closed: target reached
I just continue to struggle with 1 way day's. Too easy, today was 500 1 way and yesterday was 500 with 2 way action. The NAZ produces 300 every day if you look at moves. No Rigging or DZ action today. Previous days did build up a decent drop offset, we should be much much lower when you think about it. NAZ in the Danger Zone and October is a month away.
Note
200 away from my target from the Top of drop.
snapshot
Note
Circle is Prop Drop Offset, 1st yellow is where we should be, 2nd is target and 3rd is target.
snapshot
Note
NAZ is still dropping, 40 off 4PM Close.
