Don’t let the NQ slip through your fingers!

Good morning, Traders!

The long-term direction for the Nasdaq 100 (NQ) is up, and now the short-term direction has turned positive. The market has broken the counter trendline and entered the buy zone.

Before you jump in and try to trade the NQ, you need to know more about entering the market on a counter trendline break. Check out this video I made to get the full rundown!

Now that the daily timeframe shows the NQ moving into the buy zone, we’ll want to turn to the one-hour timeframe to find opportunities to buy the market as it moves upward.

Mindset Advantage: Breathe

If you’re not breathing, you’re not focused. If you’re not focused, you can’t see the market. Opportunities slide by in an instant. Hazards reveal themselves only when it’s too late.

You need to breathe. Breathing exercises have proven to reduce stress and increase focus.

Sure, you’re already breathing if you read this. But when you trade… you need a breathing regimen. Whatever it is: Through your nose, out your mouth counting to 10 or 100. Find a method and routine that works for you.

You’ll find balance, clarity and focus when you trade. Your heart rate will come down and you’ll just feel better.

Try it. And enjoy your trading.Traders Training Session
