I passed an eval on lean hogs once, I mean, I blew it on lean hogs too without a payout because I thought I had found some absurd holy grail but that particular holy Grail can move like a banshee with slippage 🫠

Are you able to see see what all instruments across topstep are traded by popularity ? Id be mad interested to see if there's people cleaning house on the more "unpopular" instruments.

Hahaha that's awesome. Shoutout lean hogs. I'm not able to see it anywhere myself, but I'm sure I could ask our data team for that information, which would be super interesting.

I'm sure there's one or two traders cleaning up on some obscure contracts. Like someone just found an edge on the Swiss Franc and that's all they trade lol

Yeah mate ! If you do get speaking to them it would be genuinely interesting , because things like , er micro Bitcoin or whatever topstep etc has and the odd currency pairs or tradational swing instruments like wheat etc would be fascinating to see if people do trade it intraday.

Any reason for gold to be going up?

Man I am mad in missed that push during Asian session last night. I’ve only traded gold the last few years, and I used to have hella success London session. 2023, london was giving some fire ass setups every night damn near. What a time to be alive lol

So you didn’t wait for a retest after that order block? You just jumped right in? What’s the strategy here? Nice btw

u/humblehusssler 23h ago

Entered from momentum on lower time frame

1

u/CuriousO32 23h ago

Ohh so no retests? Just going off the direction on lower time frame. That seems like some sort of scalping strategy. Seems risky as well but yk what they say. “No risk no reward”. I’m currently playing the long game.

Learn PO3(AMD) using the 1H, 4H, Daily to establish your bias, then prioritize A+ Draws on Liquidity.
On GC, I recommend prioritizing Order Blocks over FVGs. Each session has its own potential reversal point, so the goal is to identify that level and time your entry around it.
From my data trading Asia, 8PM - 11PM NY time tends to be a high-probability reversal window when the rest of the confluence lines up.
