Commentaire:

I stopped trading NASDAQ after one losing trades and two stop outs at entry with no loss on profitable trades. The range was not there. The decision was right. NASDAQ covered just 54% of ATR with only two moves large enough to give 6:1 TPs

My trading plan works on 3:1, 6:1 & 9:1 basis

Overall 3 trades. 2 Winning trades + 1 losing trade

240 - 60 + 60 = 240 pts on 4 positions. That's 60 pts per position with 20 pts risk giving R/R of 3:1

The levels played out well. Here is the zone chart
