Why I only take one NQ trade a day
Most NQ traders blow accounts chasing the second and third setup of the session.
I don't.
The Opening Range Double Breakout is one window: 10:00–11:30 ET. One defined risk. One trade. Then I'm done.
That's not a personality thing. Prop firms punish overtrading. Drawdown rules don't care that the second trade "looked good." One clean attempt at the range, sized to the account, then you sit on your hands.
I built the algo so I couldn't override that. Same script I run with my own money. If you're on Topstep, Apex, Tradeify, or MyFundedFutures and you're tired of discretionary revenge trades, that's the whole product.
Not financial advice. Past results don't mean future results.
