Forty Thousand Foot ViewCharles Payne recently said his favorite pattern is a Cup & Handle pattern. His guest agreed.
I use a chart like this to get the big picture. I want to emphasize several things.
1.Cup 1 is huge. It said, "Here is a foundation for building upon." You can see how it has fulfilled that bold statement and how strongly it has held fast.
2.Cups 2 & 3 are upside down, cup 3 higher than cup 2. These two cups are saying, "Things are going higher."
3.Cup 4, which is still forming, is saying, "Look here. We are building a new dance stage similar to Cup 1's dance stage and a whole lot of partying is going to happen when it is completed."
4.This is the most important takeaway for you. One Thousand ninety-three points separate the rims of cup 1 and cup 4. With the trading plans I have detailed in prior posts I have traded that 1,093 points many times over and so can you.
From 9/2 - 10/20 using these plans I grew my account by 44.7%. I'm not at all saying look how great I am. I am saying look what you can do.
Finding a trading plan that works is vital to success. It took me years and thousands and thousands of demo trades and live trades trying to replicate the trade ideas of others that I got from many and varied sources. The results were ever so disappointing.
One day I said, "Sidgate, you are a fellow of Common Sense. I challenge you to create a trading plan that works."
I took him up on that challenge and I share those results with you.
What's the catch? There has to be a hook here somewhere...
As corny as it may sound - it is indeed more blessed to give than to receive. I have found that as I have shared these plans and charts with you my trading results have improved. I don't think that would have happened had I not spent so many hours examining every little detail of my charts and trading plans in order to clearly communicate them to you.
I know I've made typos and simple math errors along the way. When I go back and see them, I cringe. Hopefully, you can learn despite those cringeworthy events.
Again, this is a 40,000-foot view. A very important view. For all entries and exits I use a 5-minute chart and 5-minute cups & handles. The 5-minute chart sure can get busy. I am very thankful Trading View gives us the option to hide drawings.
Just a little aside - today's low, the place where it bounced, was almost exactly on one of the handles of a 5-minute cup.
I am still a work in progress...
DEMO TRADE + REASONING AND EXCECUTION DEMO TRADE + REASONING AND EXCECUTION, My pre market analysis and trade excecution.
Target areas - NQ price for Market open.10/22/25 - These are the target areas - NQ price for Market open depending if price moves up or down. Will look for trades into these areas.
NQ Red boxes are the last 3 days
then I marked the 4hr trends and levels in orange before the 1hr levels in yellow.
I finished off with 15min blue levels and 1 green 5min level cause it was so clear and backed by 4hr trends.
The last 15min support level looks too good to pass up. I wonder when it will be visited.
ATH RANGE TRADINGTODAYPlanning to trade the local range today, buy low sell high, it can be this easy. With luck it will break the pendant in the direction i am holding for the higher time frame trade.
Hopium is we rotate several more times in this range for distribution with a final big push up to squeeze shorts.

NC SellBased on volume analysis. Price extended to the high quickly and has created some buy imbalances near the high. Does not need room above because if it breaks the high, its invalidated based on the imbalance
Nasdaq reversal @ the VWAPWatched for the 9 EMA and 21 EMA on the 5 min chart cross(x) and also crossed the VWAP. Once I saw this, I was bullish for the next 30 min. Made $3,000 :)

NASDAQ 100 (NQ1!): Wait For Valid Buys! #nasdaq Welcome back to the Weekly Forex Forecast for the week of Oct. 20-24th.
In this video, we will analyze the following FX market: NASDAQ (NQ1!) NAS100
The NASDAQ had ranged last week, but had a bullish end on Friday. I suspect we may see some continuation to the upside this week.
Wait for confirmation before taking valid buys setups.
I don't see a reason to look for sells. A bearish break of market structure would be a good reason.
Enjoy!
May profits be upon you.

NQ UpdateMFI heading down but RSI is not. That's a sign of a melt up.
Really odd with that huge gap below. NFLX earnings don't mean much to futures aside from being 2.77% of the index. 5% drop for 2.77% of the index is 35 points. NQ is down 37 pts right now.
Market needs big news to drop. Not sure I see anything on the horizon until Trump talks to China next week. We'll see tomorrow.
Also, gap direction depends on what Europe does, not NFLX.
NQ: 273rd trading session - recapGood session today, wont be here tomorrow tho. I have school, unfortunately
''...a barrow by the wide Hellespont.''"And some one shall one day say even of men that are yet to be,
as he saileth in his many-benched ship over the wine-dark sea:
'This is a barrow of a man that died in olden days, whom on a time
in the midst of his prowess the glorious Hector slew.' So shall some man say, and my glory shall never die."
As we knew from a prior post, Hector would win this rematch of an ancient duel on the Trojan plains. Hector, Prince of Troy, with his feet firmly set, appears to have slain Ajax - the human fortress, Ajax - the Monster Head & Shoulders.
Translation of Homer's Iliad attributed to T. Murray
Are we out of this Bloody Battlefield once and for all? I don't know. Many who know far more than I predict the markets will continue to chop and at some point, toward year's end and throughout 2026 will continue higher. There are others that see a looming recession.
One thing we do know for sure - we can clearly see Support and Resistance, VPOCs and Prior VPOCs, Cups and their Handles and Buy the Dip areas.
And we have several trade plans that work in a bull market.
Our Strong Support for the time being has moved higher.
"...the glorious Hector" has a new plain upon which to firmly set his feet and do battle.

ATF trading at it's finestNot much up here to do but scalps of the LTF. Waiting to fall back into the range or form one with higher volume up here. Looking for reactions at the larger levels marked. Hopium is still the loss of the range POC to fill the open VA from Friday.
NQ is a mess todayOvernight the NQ broke the range and back tested. PA looks bullish but still not interested in longs outside of scalps opps that may happen. Heave Vol for current range is at 24919, and will be waiting to short a loss of that.
On the Volume profile there are untapped previous day above and below. Above is from the massive dump day last week and is mostly filled, not to interested in that since it will be the wall of worry to climb. Below is from Friday and could provide an 80% trade, should be easily able to catch 100pts there.
NQ & ES Premarket Comment Tuesday 21-10-2025We’re currently trading in a zone where long setups are off the table, even if some appear to form. Unless clear short opportunities emerge, we’ll stay completely out of the market — because this is what builds discipline and consistency, the core pillars of longevity in this industry.
After the market open, we’ll be patiently waiting to identify strong resistance levels and potential SMT reversal signals before taking any engagement.

NASDAQ 100 E-mini Futures (NQ1!) – 4H OutlookPrice action has shown a strong recovery from recent lows, breaking above the previous structure and retesting key support. I’ll be looking for a buy opportunity on a clean break and retest of the red resistance zone (around 25,150–25,270).
If the level holds as new support, the next bullish target lies at the black resistance level near 26,100–26,200, which aligns with the higher-timeframe supply zone.
A failure to hold the red zone could invalidate the setup and shift focus back toward the lower liquidity area near 24,700.
Bias: Bullish continuation on confirmed retest
Entry: Break and retest of 25,150–25,270
Target: 26,100–26,200
Invalidation: Below 25,000
Shorting NQ (overbought)?It's reached 4h support, and appears to be dropping slowly. Let's watch and see how it goes as I'm also managing my position. 😉
