Dummy day trading #53 07-Feb-2007: NQ Long trade closed

by Gav 9 Comments

After watching NQ futures broke above yesterday’s high, I was waiting for the first pull back to get into Long position. Indeed, Long position was established around 1035am when NQ futures bounced from moving average. This trade, I applied CBL trailing stop instead of setting a fixed profit target.

One trade closed with + 2.81 R (after commission)

    @Edward: Yeah, it was a good day. But I see ER2 providing more opportunities than NQ recently. Market focus seems to be shifted to small cap now.
