How I made $643 today with only 4 Micro Futures

There’s absolutely no need to play with fire in these markets.

Especially not in the Nasdaq, which acts like a crazy donkey most of the time. So why do I still trade it?

Because I love the movement. The volatility keeps me awake.

Intraday markets that crawl along aren’t really my favorite ATMs to cash out from. I need that swinging price action.

First off, I used my RealSwing Highs & Lows technique to spot the best points on the chart for drawing my pitchforks.

The first fork was the yellow one.

It was up-sloping and catching price beautifully — until price slipped out below the up-trending Lower-Median-Line-Parallel.

Why didn’t I dump it right there?

Because I follow the rules. And the rules say: if price breaks an MLH (Median-Line-Parallel), it often comes back to retest that broken line.

So I left it on the chart and waited for the retest.

Honestly, I didn’t think we’d get it. The pressure was clearly to the downside.

But just before market the opened, Nasdaq came right back and tagged that L-MLH perfectly, rejecting the low-closing 15-minute bar. That was my short signal.

I took the trade, set my stop above the last high, just inside the fork.

My target? About half the way down and the rest same as always, at the Centerline. Price heads there about 80 % of the time, no matter the market or the timeframe.

The money was on the table… and the game was on.

Price dropped fast this time.

Didn’t matter — I was busy recording some course videos for you.

And all of a sudden — DING DING DING — cash was flowing into my account and made me a happy camper today.

My trading day’s done. Time to check my swing-trading positions.

Hope you booked some profits too today.

Wishing you a relaxed evening with your family.
