Nasdaq Futures · NQ

Is this NQ move real?

Ten live reads that answer it — options walls, macro bias, trend, delta, and the drivers — every one translated into NQ points. The screen I actually trade off of. Not a signal service.

Lands a beat before each 15-minute close — in time to react, not after

What you're reading

Ten reads, all pointed at the NQ.

Every box is derived analysis in NQ terms — grouped by what it tells you. The Overall Bias sits on top of all of it: hundreds of inputs distilled into one quick read of how it all reacts today.

The Read

◎Overall BiasThe synthesis — every factor below, compressed into one directional call with the conflicts shown.
╱Trend AnalysisTrend measured several independent ways at once — structure, momentum, moving averages, and more. Convergence is the whole game.
⇄ES ConfirmationThe ES as a directional check. Agreement strengthens the read; disagreement says wait.

The Structure

▦Level AnalysisStrong levels, zones, and confluence — where price is likely to react.
⚙Options FlowCall wall, put wall, max pain — translated into NQ points.
∆Delta & Value AreasCumulative delta vs its POC, and how the delta value area lines up with the volume value area to point direction.

The Macro

⛬Bond Yield → NQHow yields transmit to the NQ specifically — which runs opposite to how they hit other instruments.
◫Mag 5 LeanThe composite lean of the five names that actually move the NQ. Not calls on individual stocks.
◈Market MoversWhat's driving direction and volatility in the NQ today.

The Events

▤Economic CalendarHigh-impact events only — the red ones, plus the ones that punch above their rating.
⚡Urgent AlertsBreak-glass headlines that move the NQ mid-session — the moment they fire.
▣Latest NewsGeopolitical, Fed, and tech — one line each, only what moves it.

The method

I trade alignment, not conviction.

If the overall bias is bullish but the underlying trends are bearish, I'm probably not trading. It works best when everything — or a clear majority — points the same way. The panel is built to show you that alignment at a glance, and to show the reasoning, not just the read.

Read the playbook

"A put wall tends to act as support — dealer hedging buys weakness there. Watch for a hold, or a break on volume. Here's what each looks like."

How to use it

Run it beside your charts.

Once you know you want it open, here's how it lives: a narrow, always-current column you park next to your platform — landing a beat before each 15-minute close, so you have time to act on the bar, not read about it after.

STEP 01

Pop it out

Open the panel in its own frameless window — no browser chrome, just the read. Install it and it launches like an app.

STEP 02

Dock it right

Park it beside your platform. Charts on the left, the panel on the right. Where I keep mine every session.

STEP 03

Read the alignment

When the reads line up, that's your cue to pay attention. When they conflict, that's your cue to wait.

I didn't build this to sell. I built it to trade. Now I'm letting you use it.

About KC

01Refined by real trades. Six months of live use — boxes added when I needed them, cut when I didn't. Tuned against my own P&L, not a focus group.

02NQ-specific, on purpose. The same macro read points the other way for the NQ than for the ES. This panel reads it as the NQ sees it — right down to using five of the Mag 7, not all seven.

03Info, not signals. Market research and context — never "take this trade." What you do with the read is yours.
