Too difficult to post trades today even for me, have to be lighting fast on entry and exit. They just pull the bid and can drop like 10 points on NQ in no time. I am taking some longs and some shorts too, but not holding for any intra-day swings, just taking signals as they come in and than taking profits. NQ 11208 is still the ultimate expectation given readings. Taking forever though and difficult to trade for it.
I am about done for the day. I am picking up penny's to the long side, with low probability of a continuation move up, plus fighting bearish larger charts. It's not smart and just setting myself up to do something stupid.
In the end, this is just a business of building inventory at lower prices and selling out your inventory at higher prices. The market makers never lose.
