NQ Futures Daily Plan – August 19, 2025NQ Futures Daily Plan – August 19, 2025
NQ remains in a 3-day balance structure ahead of tomorrow’s housing data (8:30 ET) and this week’s Fed Symposium. Price continues to rotate inside balance, with 23,827 acting as the bull/bear pivot.
Key Levels:
• 🔼 23,980–24,000 → Breakout trigger
• 🔼 23,900–23,940 → Upside acceptance zone
• ⚖️ 23,827 → Line in the sand
• 🔽 23,760–23,770 → Weekly pivot support
• 🔽 23,742.50 → 3-day balance low
• 🔽 23,700 → Downside target if balance fails
Plan:
• Range trade between 23,770–23,940 = scalping zone.
• Break above 23,940 = target 24,000.
• Break below 23,742.50 = target 23,700.
Do you really know what these Strategy Properties checkboxes do Hi everyone,
I'm a Pine script developer and i’ve noticed that many people don’t fully understand what the checkboxes in the **Strategy Properties** section of TradingView actually do. So I’d like to quickly explain them with practical examples:
1. After Order is Filled
Recalculates as soon as an order is opened or closed.
For example, if you have a condition like “move stop-loss to entry after partial TP,” this allows it to update within the same candle. Without it, it only updates at candle close.
Also, if you want to receive **intra-bar alerts**, you must enable this.
2. On Every Tick
As the name suggests, it recalculates on every price movement.
Sounds great, but if your strategy isn’t coded properly, you might see multiple entries for a single signal.
Not recommended in most cases.
3. Using Bar Magnifier
Updates using lower timeframes instead of just the current chart’s timeframe.
Example: when checking past trades, sometimes price touches both TP and SL within the same candle — how do you know which triggered first? With this enabled, the strategy tester knows.
I recommend it, but only if your strategy is coded correctly; otherwise, you might see unrealistic entries before candle close.
4. On Bar Close
Executes trades strictly at candle closes, using the candle’s closing price.
If not enabled, orders are executed at the **open of the next bar** instead.
5. Using Standard OHLC
For charts like Heikin Ashi or Renko (which don’t use real prices), this option ensures more realistic backtests by using actual OHLC values.
If you don’t enable it, your backtest results will be misleading. Definitely use it.
My suggestion:
- Always keep After Order is Filled and Using Standard OHLC enabled.
- If your past trades look clean (no strange early entries), also use Bar Magnifier for more accurate results.
Thanks for reading, stay safe out there!
MNQ (Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures) Trade Setup – 3H TimeframeMNQ: Likely Retest of Nearest Support in Uptrend with Rebound Toward All-Time High
MNQ has been in a sustained uptrend since August 4, 2025, forming a clear sequence of higher highs and higher lows supported by constant positive volume inflow. On August 12, price broke above both the 23,800 resistance zone and the 23,848 all-time high following major news, with the breakout supported by strong buying volume.
The 3-hour chart shows that after the breakout, momentum has slowed and positive volume has gradually declined. A sharp spike in negative volume on August 13 suggests selling activity near the new high zone, increasing the likelihood of a pullback toward the 23,800 area—a strong liquidity level and former resistance now acting as support.
Illustrative Setup: A Buy Limit order at 23,820 positions the entry near the top of the 23,800 support zone, aiming to capture a rebound in line with the prevailing uptrend. A Stop Loss at 23,730 sits just below the support level, providing a clear invalidation point. The Take Profit target at 24,040 is set near the August 13 new all-time high (24,069), offering a favorable 2.44:1 reward-risk ratio.
Key considerations: The combination of an intact uptrend, a well-defined, strategic support zone, and the potential for a technical retest creates a bullish setup with multiple confirmations. However, given the proximity to all-time highs, traders should watch for volatility and / or potential consolidation before any new significant move takes place. Monitoring intraday volume dynamics can provide additional confirmation before entry.

Nq & Es Analysis 18-08-2025Good evening everyone, I’m back to share some key levels and potential scenarios for NASDAQ and S&P.
We notice that price has recently made a small pullback after last week’s reaction at the all-time highs (ATHs). At the moment, there are multiple levels where price could react, and we are positioned in a very critical zone.
I have no directional bias for today. The best approach is to wait for confirmation of what the market is actually trying to show us, and observe how the opening session develops. This will help us better understand how to use the key levels I have highlighted on the chart.
⚖️ Remember:
In premium zones, we look for short setups.
In discount zones, we look for long setups.
For today, I am simply observing without giving any specific scenario. Trade carefully and I wish you all a successful session.

Monday NQ Daily Plan | August 18, 2025NQ Daily Plan | August 18, 2025
Market Context & Key Levels for the Day Ahead
Market Context
On Friday, NQ continued to coil below 24,000, with an RTH profile that leaned b-shaped (long liquidation).
Overnight action set up balance around 23,750–23,950, echoing the broader multi-day consolidation following the CPI-driven breakout.
The 5D VPOC has shifted higher into the 23,875 area, which confirms short-term strength in the context of last week’s breakout. Value is moving higher with price — bullish unless acceptance back inside old balance occurs.
The current 3-day balance range runs from 23,750 up to 23,975–24,000 (balance high).
Balance Guidelines (Applied to NQ)
In balance, fade extremes (short near highs, long near lows) unless strong acceptance develops.
Breakouts:
Sustained trade above 24,000 = follow buyers higher into discovery.
Sustained trade below 23,750 = follow sellers lower toward downside magnets.
Failed Breakouts:
If price pokes outside balance but returns inside, bias shifts to target the opposite end of balance.
Key NQ Levels for Monday
Level Context / Bias
24,050 (FUT) Final Upside Target if breakout holds
23,975–24,000 (UT2) Balance High / Breakout Trigger
23,925–23,950 (UT1) First upside resistance / acceptance zone
23,800–23,825 Pivot Support (line in the sand)
23,750 Lower edge of 3-day balance
23,700–23,675 (DT1) Support if balance fails
23,550 (FDT) High Volume Node / Downside Magnet
🎯 Trade Scenarios
Bullish (Continuation of Breakout)
Hold above 23,800–23,825 → push into 23,925 → 23,975–24,000.
Acceptance above 24,000 opens 24,050+ (FUT).
Bearish (Failed Breakout / Breakdown)
Lose 23,800 / 23,750 → rotate down to 23,700–23,675.
Sustained selling opens test of 23,550 (FDT).
Neutral (Balance Rotation)
Between 23,750–23,950, expect chop → fade extremes until news or order flow confirms breakout.
Confirmation via VIX & Macro
Watch VIX 16.0 / 14.0 equivalents in NQ volatility measures.
A breakout above 24,000 with volatility compressing = stronger confirmation.
Breakdown below 23,750 with volatility expanding = confirmation of weakness.
Monday’s NAHB Housing Index (10 AM ET) and overnight China/Japan data may provide early catalysts.
Summary for Monday:
NQ sits inside a 3-day balance (23,750–23,975).
Above 24,000 → breakout continuation toward 24,050+.
Below 23,750 → sellers target 23,700 then 23,550.
Expect rotations within balance until housing data or broader macro headlines provide direction.
NQ Futures | Key Levels & Catalysts (Aug 18–22, 2025)NQ futures are coiling between 23,750–23,950, following last week’s breakout attempt that stalled near 24,000. This week’s catalysts could set the tone for the next directional move.
Key Levels
24,050 → Supply zone (watch for rejection).
23,975–24,000 → Breakout trigger.
23,800–23,825 → Pivot support.
23,750 → Line-in-the-sand for bulls.
23,550 → Downside magnet if 23,750 fails.
Major Catalysts
Mon (Aug 18): NAHB Housing Confidence.
Tue (Aug 19): Housing Starts + Home Depot earnings.
Wed (Aug 20): Lowe’s earnings, FOMC Minutes.
Fri (Aug 22): Powell speaks at Jackson Hole.
Housing data + retail earnings will offer an early read on consumer and housing strength, while Jackson Hole is the wildcard for rates and liquidity.
Trade Scenarios
Bullish → Hold 23,750–23,800, break above 24,000 → target 24,050–24,150.
Bearish → Lose 23,750, sell momentum toward 23,550, possibly 23,300.
Neutral → Chop between 23,750–23,950 until catalysts break balance.
Bias : Stay patient in the balance zone. Housing + retail earnings set the tone early, but Powell’s Jackson Hole speech decides the week.
ABC Correction in Play: Watching 23,920 Then Drop Toward 23,380📝 Idea Write-Up (casual & short for TradingView):
Looks like we could be setting up for a classic ABC correction here.
A (23,587 zone): Price may dip into the green demand area before bouncing.
B (23,920 area): Possible relief rally back into resistance.
C (23,380 target): If sellers step back in, we could see the final leg lower toward the demand below.
Main structure is: drop → bounce → continuation lower.
If price reclaims and holds above 23,920, then the bearish ABC outlook gets invalidated.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
This is just a market idea, not financial advice. Always trade with proper risk management.
#202533 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq e-miniGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Neutral. Bull flag but market is holding above the breakout price around 23800. Bears need a strong move below 23600 for more downside and if bulls stay above 23800, we can only assume sideways to up movement. I doubt we get another leg up but I have been wrong on that couple of times now. No longs for me above 23500. Only interested in a breakdown for 23400ish or 23000.
current market cycle: bull trend - peak bubble
key levels for next week: 22800 - 24100
bull case: Bulls remain in full control but a bigger pullback is expected. Until that happens, we can continue up since market is living on momentum and it’s still going strong. For a change bulls need to be trapped and that has not happened since April. Every dip buy was profitable but I do think it’s way beyond overdone and moronic to buy above 23000.
Invalidation is below 22700
bear case: Bears still do not have anything here. It doesn’t ever matter if we print 24000 or stay below 23848, until we see big bear bars closing on their lows again, this is likely going higher and bears can not hold short here where the strategy is hope. Nothing has changed last week. Bears need big red bars closing on their lows and trapping late bulls.
Invalidation is above 24100
short term: Neutral at best. Bears not doing enough and btfd is still going strong. Could easily do another test for 24100 before turning but I would not be surprised if we grind down to 23400ish and test the trend line again.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-08-10: Bear trend did not start last week. Sad but ok. I am still only interested in seeing this bubble popping.
