One winner, one loser, and one trade closed at breakeven late in the session. See ES and NQ sections below.
Net ticks: -3.5 ticks.
As usual, let’s start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today’s session:
ES:
Mark’s short triggered at 1432.75 at A and stopped for 7 ticks. Triggered again shortly after and then closed it in the last hour at the entry price (there was a Seeker 13 buy signal at the time on the NQ):
NQ:
Just a reminder that we use half points for ticks on the NQ and not the quarter point measurement that the exchanges switched to in recent years. This allows us to use 6 ticks as a key target as we do on the other contracts. It also keeps the value of a tick at $10, closer to the value of a tick on the other contracts.
Mark’s short triggered at A at 2787.50 and hit first target for 6 ticks, second half stopped a tick in the money:
