[LIVE] NASDAQ Futures Trading May 11 – OIL, GOLD, SPY, QQQ, ES | Real-Time Day Trading Strategy

This was a live day-trading stream focused primarily on NASDAQ futures, with constant commentary on ES/SPY, oil, gold, and macro/news flow. The speaker spent much of the session reading short-term price action through VWAP, the 9/21 EMAs, opening range levels, and bullish/bearish order blocks, while also reacting to headlines about Iran, Trump remarks, CPI the next day, and treasury auctions. Early in the stream, the speaker argued that the market was squeezing higher, that shorts were trapped, and that Monday bullish breakouts had historically worked better than downside breaks. He also repeatedly said there were no clean trades for a while because the market was choppy and range-bound. The session later shifted into a more active trading run around the New York open. …

1. The speaker’s core tactical view was bullish squeeze continuation, especially on pullbacks into bullish order blocks and VWAP support.
2. He treated the opening range breakout as the main framework, but acknowledged it failed to reach TP1 on the day.
3. Price action was choppy and divergent much of the session, with ES often cleaner than NQ.
4. Oil and Iran-related headlines were important intraday catalysts and helped explain some of the volatility.
5. The speaker emphasized that trading edge comes from a system plus execution, not mindset alone.
6. He repeatedly stressed scaling risk, taking partials, and accepting when a trade thesis is invalidated.
7. A large part of the content was educational/community-oriented, including prop firm rules, payout structure, and trader psychology.
8. The stream ended with a strong green day and a message about discipline over emotion.

• The speaker often asserted the market was in squeeze territory and favored longs, but the same session featured multiple failed long attempts, showing the thesis was fragile intraday.
• He leaned on very short-term order-block and EMA reactions as if they were decisive, but the transcript itself shows several instances where those levels briefly failed or were only one-tick precise.
• He said the opening range breakout was his main strategy, but by his own admission it did not hit TP1 that day, which weakens the idea of a clean trending setup.
• Some geopolitical interpretations were speculative, especially attributing oil/NQ moves directly to Iran or Trump comments without clear confirmation.
• At times he framed countertrend shorts and longs as strongly justified while also admitting the market was choppy and range-bound, which makes conviction appear inconsistent.
• There was some hindsight bias in describing exact entries/exits after the fact, especially when claiming certain order blocks “worked” despite earlier uncertainty.
