TS3 sell on the 3min NQ


The day started well with a TS3 sell. Notice how this was not stopped out, so even though it appears as a “history triangle” it was a valid short trade. This is why I always suggest you “analyze” the history triangles to see how they would have unfolded....

The result was a nice +2.4R Profit (ignoring slippage and commission).

But why did we not use the ATRStop here I hear you ask ? Well, as outlined in the Trading Course, the “day after” a big move, we anticipate a sideways and choppy day, so best to look to bank profits earlier using the WPT targets.

Thanks, Steve
