Whole of 2024 was easy money for those who kept on longing with > 25% upside on ES futs and > 30% upside on NQ futs. 2025 probably won’t be that easy with possiblity of two sided market, lets see.
First on prop firm deals. Apex has again 90% off for next couple days and TPT’s current deal ends this week. This is what we did on last trading day of 2024. It was struggle in the morning with 20 handle chop. We then kept shorting 54 and then tried 32 long and then stayed out in last hour with chops.

Econ for Week
Night session Trading Suggestions:
I suggest to not trade night session from 10 pm to 2 am chop. If action has to happen than it will happen before 10 pm or after 2 am EST. You can generally play short on top level provided for nightly range and long on lower level of nightly range after 2 am or 3 am. But get out of the way if it rips or drops thru levels and wait for new opportunity or flip. And of course never add to loser and better yet cut it and reset.
Remember: I never short above or long below my marker. I wait for it to pause before it or come back to it from rip/dip and pause before executing.
Never take position before Econ like CPI Or FOMC. After econ watch for levels where it stops and how it interacts to decide long or short.
Recommended stop: -2 and go to BE on +2. Some ppl who can't reenter shall chose -3.5/4.
Scale out: 2 lots at +6/8, 3rd at +10/16, 4th leave runner at BE
Big picture: > 5700 this remains bullish.
