The question
What is the plan before and during a setup?
- We do not scalp; we aim for moves of at least 100 index points, without promising an outcome.
- We take 0–2 trades per New York session, with predetermined TP and initial SL.
- Monitor your position and manually trail SL as appropriate; losses remain possible.
Wait for a move worth researching.
We do not scalp. Our objective is to capture moves of at least 100 index points when a suitable setup develops. This is a research objective, not a promised move or profit.
We take 0–2 trades per New York session, depending on the setup. Some sessions have no trade; we do not force an entry to meet a quota.
Index points are price movement, not dollars, ticks or a percentage return. The same move has different cash exposure for NQ, MNQ and a broker’s CFD lot. A 100-point objective does not mean every published setup or completed trade will achieve it.
Define the plan before entry.
Take Profit (TP) and the initial stop loss (SL) are predetermined for each published setup. Read the entry, direction, levels and latest update before acting.
The published stop and target express the original plan. A revision belongs in a dated signal update, preserving the original levels. Check the current status before acting; an old alert may no longer describe an available entry.
Manage and trail the stop as conditions develop.
As a trade develops, manually trail your SL as appropriate to help protect gains and reduce the risk of losses. Follow published signal updates and manage the order in your own broker platform; the website does not move stops for you.
Trailing a stop can close a position before TP. It does not guarantee protection from losses: fees, slippage and gaps still apply. Original published levels remain in the record; signal updates document revisions.
Keep management guidance and its evidence separate.
Historical backtests must disclose their stop-management assumptions, event sequencing, commissions and slippage. Do not assume that a test included discretionary trailing or change past records to imply that it did.
The dashboard is a publication record, not a live price monitor or an automated broker connection. Monitor your own position and confirm that a stop change was accepted by your broker.
