6E getting closing to Trigger Line. Might hit entry in the next day or two.

NQ possibly setting up. Still a long ways away from the Trigger Line, but depending on the FOMC stuff this afternoon, price might move down that far today. Won't stand in front of it if price pounds down to the trigger upon the announcement, but will be ready to enter if I get the right look.

6E trader hit Trigger Line. Price only went below it by 3 ticks. Moved up quickly close to Target 1. As mentioned in the initial post of this setup, I don't trade 6E, but just tracking it here to show this harmonic pattern setup.

Had I taken this trade, I would now move my Initial Stop Loss to break-even. And if it stalls at the current price, would take one-fourth of my position off here since it got to within 8 ticks of Target 1 and it's now a can't-lose trade.

Will continue to track the progress.

Final summary for the 6E setup (didn't take this trade as I don't trade 6E - just showing example).

Price moved down overnight to the break-even stop loss on the balance of the position, so it would've netted a minimum of 35 ticks. Had I actually taken the trade, I would've exited the final position prior to going to break-even as I don't hold overnight.

YM moved up to new structure highs. That setup now invalid. The ES setup is still valid if it moves down to trigger line, but looking like it probably won't.

Well the NQ potential setup posted last Wednesday FINALLY triggered today. The futures have been meandering around for about a week. This mornings Minimum Bid Rate change, finally got things moving. Thank you Mr. Draghi. (First time, and probably last time I ever say that.....lol).

Took it long at 36.25 and exited 1/4 position at 51.25 for +15.00 points. Moved stop loss on balance of position to break-even. Now in a no-risk trade.

NQ price stalled and started moving back down, so I moved stop on 3/4 position up to plus 2.00 points.

Summary:

1st contract , plus 15.00 points
2nd contract, plus 2.00 points
3rd contract, plus 2.00 points
4th contract, plus 2.00 points

Total: Plus 21.00 points
