- Risk level
- High
Qiko scalps index futures, NQ, ES and YM, with the tightest format on the desk: one entry, one stop, one target per alert, often resolved within the hour. Stops go to breakeven quickly, setups that run without a fill get cancelled rather than chased, and the riskier ideas are labelled as exactly that. On the side he posts occasional longer-term crypto ideas, usually spot. He is also the developer behind the Photon algorithm.
( 02 โ HOW HE TRADES )
How he trades
- 01Three numbers, one tradeAn alert is Entry, Stop, Target, nothing else. The distances are tight and the trade can be over in minutes, so if you cannot execute immediately, skip it rather than enter late at a worse price.
- 02He does not chase, and neither should youIf price runs before the fill, the alert is cancelled with a note like entry frontran. A cancelled setup that then works was still a cancelled setup; there will be another.
- 03Breakeven comes fastStop to b/e often lands within minutes of entry. Followers running the same trade need to move their stop when he says so, or they are carrying risk he already removed.
- 04The risk labels are realHigh risk, ultra risky, catching the knife: when a setup carries a label, he sizes it as a punt and takes the stop without complaint. Treat labelled trades as optional extras, not core signals.
- 05Crypto ideas are a different speedThe futures scalps are minutes; the crypto posts are longer-term ideas, often spot with no leverage. Do not manage one with the rules of the other.
( 03 โ ALERT FORMAT )
What his alerts look like
The scalp
โES Long. Entry: 7811.50 SL: 7809.75 TP: 7814.00โ
One entry, one stop, one target, tightly spaced. Resolution is usually fast: this one was TP hit within the hour.
Cancelling
โcancel, entry frontranโ
Price moved before the fill, so the trade no longer exists. No chasing a worse entry.
A labelled punt
โNq Long - catching the knife setup, ultra risky. Entry: 29964 TP: 30022 SL: 29930.5โ
A deliberately speculative counter-trend attempt, flagged as such. His follow-up when it stopped out: was worth the shot.
( 04 โ BEFORE YOU FOLLOW )
Notes and warnings
- Futures are leveraged contracts with real dollar-per-point exposure. Know what one NQ or ES point is worth to your account before taking any of these.
- The scalps live and die in minutes. This feed suits people at the screen, not people checking a phone hourly.
- Watched setups are sometimes posted before an entry exists. Watching for a reaction means no trade yet.
