A trader shorts the Nasdaq using order-flow analysis, identifying a failed auction where buyers absorb sellers. He moves his stop to breakeven after an explosive move, covers above key gaps for a $5,000 profit, then targets another $10,000 by trailing stops through effort-cluster areas.
I think I can try to load the first short here if we have a clean breakout of this range. Loaded the first one. Let's go to the value area low. Absorbed sellers here we have. Oh, this is a failed auction. They attempted to be aggressive on the sell side, but they got completely absorbed by the buyers. So I think we will go up on this one. Let's check if the sellers— because still the Nasdaq F40 area is valid. If this level here breaks, we will have a really good movement. I think they printed another Nasdaq effort area, so I will reduce the risk and I will put to breakeven as soon as we have an explosion here if they close below. Zero risk. Let's see if this one pays off. We have another Nasdaq effort area to protect our trade. If we have another catalyst short, I can consider also trailing my stop loss in profit. Let's see. I can expect another acceleration here. Yeah, this one is purely based on Nasdaq effort cluster area. They Loading here. I will not take additional risk. If we have another sprint down, I will cover myself above this aggression here. Now they are getting to the bottom of the range. On this one, I will use this low as an intent to go lower to steal other profit from the market. I want to see this broken. Here we go. Cover above the big trades. If they engage again this low, I expect a squeeze. Here it goes. Let me cover myself above the gap for a $5,000 in profit. Now this level is getting sensitive. Let's see if this squeeze can continue. Okay, final TP, $10,000.
