This was one of those days we call a red letter day, with the ES emini, the YM emini and the NQ emini all delivering wonderful trading oppportunities for the scalping intraday index trader using the Quantum Trading tools and indicators.

The best of both. https://youtu.be/T54yYrbtERg...

And for intraday index traders, we picked up a great move in the...
