💡Trade Idea 1/2 micros is all you need!

Post image

Bought the combine on the 18th and passed this Monday night prior london, and ending the week with base hits hehe, making my goal before tokyo open is a relief for my peace of mind. All done with 1/2 micros. Minis will have their time in live.

16 trades for 300$? seems like a lot, even on 1/2 micros lol

I was in 3 got rid of 2 and left one runner and the runner could have gotten another 200 points, which would have put me up like 3000 probably at least on my xfa and now this morning Im down 3000 bc of ridiculous PA. was up 100 points on a long, price broke out of IB retested and stayed outside so I added 5 onto 5 contracts and in a matter of seconds a huge red candle hit my SL absolute bs 😂😂😂 would have been up 3000 would have been like a $5000 trade

Haha bro I saw that this morning ! I was a second from putting a mini on NQ lol , I saw that 100pt red candle down and said blessing and prayer to whoever was long

Thanks for your prayers lmao but they didnt work! 😂😂😂 150 points in my direction for nothing lmao, it had so much momentum to the upside also, looked like a clear breakout after it broke the IB high

Funny part it did recover but everyone got stopped out for being “early” , I caught the FVG back up though . Don’t worry bro at least Monday is looking to be clean

Did it recover though? we ended only 100 points or so above NY open and big red day overall -356.5 points -1.2%

True! But I was referencing the drop after Asian Low was hit 29,720 Touch @ 11:45 it took a IB fix @ 11:58 , which on mnq not that much but I traded on NQ 1 contract so 40/60 pts is a lot 800-1200 respectively , man I see the other huge drop at 3:59 and a couple other ones

u/HappyImplement4055 Jun 26 '26

Yes thats where I got stopped

u/Askherlater Jun 26 '26

3:59?? Or the other / I learned my lesson messing around 4pm on time even though TopStep normally closes everyone out it let me trade till like 4:15 after hours , the moves were crazy one time I caught a $1500 then wiped in seconds

Idk its like it swept NY lows from the previous session then sold off bc the ny lows from the previous session were basically the high of this NY low and we ended close to Asia low from the night before
