Not to interrupt the broadcast, but I wouldn't be so quick to assume everything is daytrading related.
Well the NQ is right back where it was at 0935 EST when you posted, and you've yet to declare an exit or a long. What do your followers think to this?
Maybe it was, but we're sure not going to give you the benefit of the doubt of shorting at an earlier / better price than the time of your post, unless of course you post a blotter/statement showing your fill. That's just basic honesty. Fact is market went offside after you posted your short call. It is now unchanged from when you posted. You've not called an exit. So onus on you to post where you entered and exited if you want to keep any credibility. There is no consistent reason why you'd post trade calls and then refuse to state where you got in and out.
Sure it is. Link me to the post where you've advocated, before today, that your "apprentices" with their "price action" journals carry their positions overnight. Why would you advocate newbies to take the risk of holding futures contracts, which they are probably using leverage to hold, through the close? These guys just keep on moving the goalposts when challenged. First the trade was put on earlier and at a better price than available when the call was posted. Now its not a daytrade. Real useful.
And yet despite this being the "NQ targets" thread you didn't give a target for your call. So no way to know where you would have sought to get out. And now the market is trading above where you sold.
There's no onus on me to do anything other than be consistent. Other than that, I'm under no obligation to satisfy some anonymous stranger on a trading forum. If you want to know why I posted what I posted, read my journals. Or be a PITA. Which you choose depends on whether or not you want to learn something.
You posted the short call at 0935 EST today. "just short" means the immediate past, not yesterday afternoon. Then the market went up for 15 mins after you posted "just short". So did you actually trade. Can you show us a blotter (live or sim)? Can you show us a clearing firm statement from yesterday showing where you initiated a short NQ trade and carried it overnight? I'm just here to make a point. That you won't be transparent, won't be consistent, won't show your fills, and basically won't substantiate why anyone should pay the slightest bit of attention to what you write let alone follow your trading suggestions. You're not a profitable trader. In an industry with so many frauds it is incumbent on those wishing to be taken seriously to show some bona fides. The only people who listen to you are those too lazy or greedy to do any due diligence. You've been wasting aspiring traders time for over a decade online and I really wish you'd just cut it out. DB won't post any evidence to back up any of his claims to have traded long or short.
Surely you must understand that "targets" in this context are (road)maps. If you drive your car and suddenly discover that the bridge is not there (any longer), what do you do? Drive right into the river? Or adapt to the situation? We're not playing a rigid structure, but how other people view current situations.
