YM1! - LEAP CONTEST - Educational purpose onlyYM1! (E-mini Dow Jones Futures) | Momentum Swing Strategy in The LEAP Contest
This is one of my recent trades from TradingView's The LEAP Contest.
It's my first time applying my Momentum Swing Trading Strategy in a completely different market. It was also the first time I traded using the 15–30 minute time frame, which made this experience even more valuable.
My trade setup:
Bullish structure on the Daily Time Frame, aligned with the 1H trend.
Clear Higher High – Higher Low (HH-HL) formation.
After making a high near 52,790, price witnessed a sharp pullback and found support around the 52,200 zone.
Instead of buying the pullback, I patiently waited for price to break my predefined entry level near 52,400.
Used 5, 10, 20 ema
Once the breakout was confirmed, I entered the trade and managed it towards the previous swing high.
Since 21 July, I've been testing this strategy in the global futures market through The LEAP Contest. It's encouraging to see that the same principles of market structure, trend alignment, patience, and disciplined execution can work across different markets and even on lower time frames.
Every trade is another opportunity to learn and improve. The journey continues...
Learning : Markets may change, but discipline, risk management, and waiting for confirmation remain the same.
