A trader enters a NASDAQ micro-futures scalp at 6:32 am after the price breaks above the EMA and resistance, using 5 contracts at $2 per point. He exits seven minutes later with a $605 profit, demonstrating the quick decision-making required for short-duration trades.
All right, good morning, AI Day Traders. Today is Wednesday, May 25th, and it's about 6:35. And so I decided to get in on this, uh, bullish run right here. Um, I got in midway on the first candle because when I got into the trade, it broke above the EMA, crossed my resistance, and the MACD and stuff was already up. I got in at 17.48. As we can see, it's now at about 1825, and so I can go ahead and take a pretty nice-sized scalp right here. And this is on the NASDAQ, not the Russell, but I wanted to show you guys some of my progress as I begin to explore the NASDAQ a little bit more. Now again, you have to keep in mind the NASDAQ moves much, much faster. You want to be very concentrated when you jump into this particular side of the trading, and you want to make sure that you are essentially pretty sure about the direction that you're going. And so I'm just going to sit back in this trade and see how long I can stay in. It's about 6:38, it's on the second candle so far, it's still pushing up. I'm about 20, 30 points behind. I'm trading, uh, on the micro, uh, 5 contracts, which is $2 a point. Okay, and so what I'm doing is scalping about 10 points at a time is what I'm doing. But because the NASDAQ moves at a different pace, you know, I have to let it get up a little bit more before I take the scalps because it'll drop back really, really quick. And so, um, as this thing continues to push up, as you can see, to the open it's already up 70-some points, um, since the open. So because I don't know when that might reverse, I'm going to go ahead and snatch another 10 points real quick just in case it turns around. And this is perfect for me because I do have— I got to get out the house this morning. So when it gets to the net, when the candle's about— the new candle's about to form, you always want to scalp up as much points as you can, I believe, in case it turns around. If you get stopped out, you got your points already. And there we go. So that was my scalp. I'll go to positions. I got $605. You see that activity? I got in at 6:32, out at 6:39 for $605. And listen, you know how we say, we know I'm not gonna mess off my for sure money trying to get some more money. And, uh, this is the— to me, the art of scalping. So I'm gonna get in, get out, and get on about my business for the day. I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
