Main summary

Key takeaways

Finance

What happened / performance claims

  • Claimed results: +$6,100 “overnight” trading NASDAQ (NQ).
  • Execution context: six funded accounts with Apex.
  • Claimed P&L:
    • Up ~$6,000 across the six accounts
    • Up ~$15K on the week
  • Claimed intraday move after entry: +250 points “pumped” (described as live real time).

Instruments / tickers / markets mentioned

  • NQ / NASDAQ futures (referred to as “NQ” and “the NASDAQ”).
  • No other markets (equities/ETFs/crypto/bonds/commodities) mentioned.

Macro / broader context

  • The trader notes weak / “trash” price action during the New York (NY) session over the prior 2–3 weeks.
  • They report better delivery overnight (into/around London hours).
  • Strategy adjustment:
    • Hunt setups when overnight volatility/directionality is cleaner.
    • If overnight is bad, they skip trading.

Step-by-step trading methodology (“CRT hit model”)

Top-down key levels & bias

  • Identify higher-timeframe key levels and pools of liquidity.
  • Process:
    • Start on the daily chart
    • Then move down daily → 4H → 1H
  • Look for CRT (Change in the state of delivery) on the higher timeframe:
    • Require a “good size” candle range (avoid tiny-body / large-wick extremes).
    • Candle definitions:
      • C1 = first candle (the “range”)
      • C2 = next candle that sweeps the high/low of C1, then closes back inside C1’s range
    • Interpretation:
      • After a bullish CRT on the daily, expect price to seek the opposing range (bullish bias).

Overnight session preference (timing filter)

Focus entries when:

  • CRT is present on the daily, and
  • Overnight delivery shows “low resistance liquidity runs” (not choppy back-and-forth like NY AM).

Timing detail:

  • Watches for setups after the market opens around 6:00 p.m. (relative to their chart context).

Lower timeframe confirmation (order flow / structure)

On the 4H

  • Look for bullish order flow, often via:
    • Price retracing into a bullish order block (support from prior “down close candles” / marked levels)
    • Reaction up
    • Violation of opposing candles (described as “violated some of the uplo candles” / using down-close candles as support)

On the 1H

  • Confirm with another order block reaction.
  • Look for a turtle soup / stop hunt (“turtle soup… stop hunt here”).
  • Use Fib projections to align with buy-side liquidity (mentions -2 to -2.5 area).

Entry model (execution)

On the 15-minute, then 1-minute

  • Wait for a setup similar to lower-timeframe turtle soup with an explosive reaction.

Final trigger sequence

After:

  1. Liquidity sweep (sell-side sweep / equal lows)
  2. Upside displacement

Then:

  • This forms a bullish change in the state of delivery.
  • It creates a bullish order block.
  • Wait for retracement into:
    • the order block
    • an imbalance (examples mentioned: fair value gaps (FVG); also “BPR inversion” as a type of imbalance)

Entry mechanics

  • Entry placed using “discounter rays” (discount portion of the Fib projection/range).
  • Stop loss:
    • At the low of the discount rays
    • Below the imbalances
    • Also at the low of the order block
  • Targets:
    • 1:1 (and/or 1 to 2 depending on context)
    • Additional plan: target projections / higher-timeframe candle range
    • Mentions base hit ~50 points, equating to $1,000 with one mini (implied sizing reference).

Explicit trade example: key numbers / levels

  • Higher-timeframe reference (daily bullish CRT candle open): ~29,800
  • Long entry: 29,782
    • Described as ~20 points below the CRT candle open (“buying the wick” via the CRT rule)
  • Stop loss sizing:
    • Mentioned 30-point stop loss
    • During retracement they were down ~20 points
  • Live move after entry:
    • Pumped ~250 points

Key rules / cautions

  • Do not fade CRT
    • “Never, never, ever… fade the CRT.”
    • If price has already delivered significantly after a CRT (example: ~260 points delivered), then sit out instead of shorting.
  • Timing rule
    • If NY session is choppy (“trash”), don’t force trades—hunt overnight setups.
    • If overnight is bad, don’t trade.
