"Gaps always fill." "Tight stops protect you." "A 94% win rate means it works." I tested what every Nasdaq futures trader believes on 1.8 million one-minute bars. Most of it is wrong.
From the Larry Williams video? The full rules and results are on pages 17–18 of the free guide.
Each myth gets the numbers behind it and what I actually do instead. A few of them:
There's opportunity all day long.FALSE
Just trade the opening range breakout.HALF TRUE
Gaps always fill.HALF TRUE
You can't know what kind of day it'll be.FALSE
Tight stops protect you.FALSE
A 94% win rate means it works.FALSE
I bought NQ at 20,000 random minutes. No setup, no skill. A 10-point stop got touched within 30 minutes 78% of the time. On today's NQ, a tight stop doesn't measure your idea. It measures the noise.
Know before the open whether NQ is set up for a big day or a small one, and size your stops and targets to match.
The checklist every strategy has to pass. The FVG and the 94% IFVG both failed by step 5.
How it works, what it expects to lose, and how to watch it trade live, in public, before you trust it.
I bought what I was sure had fallen enough. It kept falling. Years later I built a backtest that made 42% a year, and it turned out to be a data bug. Since then I don't trust a number until I've counted it myself. That's what TestedNQ is: popular strategies, coded rule by rule, run on five years of NQ with real costs. Most of them don't survive. I show you why.
Don't trust my numbers. Read how they were made, then watch the live record build before you decide anything.
