Looks like we could reach the pre-pandemic high for NQ. I don't try to understand why it is going up, just trying to not fight it.

Less than 70 points of range on NQ today so far. Decent volume just no real movement. Been scalping. Grabbing a point or two here and there. Tough trading day all around.

Whenever I have issues logging in, I will open R-Trader Pro and try from there. If it doesn't work there, then R trader creates a nice log file that you can send Rithmic. It helps them track down the problem for you.

No issues for me on Rithmic but I connected last night and I am still connected today. Markets feel like they are waiting on something. Just a perception thing no real proof.

Top step is one of the toughest evals to pass in my opinion. You basically have to complete it twice. Some of the tightest rules in the business. Best of luck to you. It really does teach you some valuable trading lessons.

The spread on NQ is what is really killing things for me. I have seen anywhere from 2-18 ticks of spread just this last week and things have calmed down some. It jumps all over the place during the day making it hard to gauge when to jump out. I ...

Crazy night in the markets. NQ in a limit down situation. Dropped over 400 points. Oil is about the only thing trading and it is down 13+. Oil is sub 30.00 right now. Just a few weeks ago I was wondering if NQ was going to hit 10,000. Now it is just ...
