It is with a heavy heart that I announce that my beloved "When in Doubt Buy the Dip" coffee mug has been significantly chipped from within during an unfortunate dishwashing accident. It has now been relegated to shelf space in my small library of trading books. She served me well in her brief, productive life. I mentioned I had added a Topstep combine to my "portfolio" of prop accounts. I am using this account to train myself to hold for larger swing profits. For some, this is still a scalp. For me, this is great progress toward capturing larger intraday movements. I did change my usual blue color scheme to a stock red and green so that I could be sure of visually distinguishing one account from the other.
Spending time watching both NQ and YM lately and I don't think I could trade the both of them. Sometimes they move in tandem, but too often they are moving in opposite directions. I feel this makes me uncertain. For example, if long the NQ and I see the YM selling off, I start to question my NQ position, vice versa etc.
