Hasn't mnq been particularly hard to trade so far this week? I am still waiting for my set up to show up. I feel like the 4h chart is not playing by any market structure "rules". Anyone else feel the same? I see all these payout posts and I wonder how they can trade this.

I’ve been trading for a bit under 2 years, mainly focusing on Nasdaq (NQ). My core strategy is trading break and retests of key levels like: • Premarket highs/lows • Previous day highs/lows Up until recently, this was working really well for me (\~65% win rate). But over the past 1–2 months, it’s completely fallen apart. • Breakouts don’t follow through • Retests look clean, then instantly reverse • Massive wicks keep stopping me out before moving in my direction (or just fully invalidating the setup) I’ve blown \~10 evals this month, and about 5 expresses before that trying to push through it. It honestly feels like the behavior around these key levels has completely changed, and I’ve never experienced this kind of price action before in my trading. I’m stuck between two thoughts: 1. My strategy just doesn’t work in current conditions and needs to be changed 2. This is a temporary market and I should reduce size or sit out For more experienced traders: • How do you tell when a break & retest model is no longer valid vs just underperforming? • Are these kinds of wick heavy conditions something you just avoid trading altogether? • How do you adapt entries around PDH/PDL and PM levels when price keeps sweeping both sides? Appreciate any insight, really trying to avoid digging a deeper hole here.
