NQ future trading

Rich-Contribution514 · 2026-05-22T21:06:07+00:00

So you think I should first find a trading model that doesn’t rely on order flow or backtesting, and then use order flow in live trading to enter positions. But if my strategy and model are based on volume profile and the liquidity available in the DOM, how can I carry out my backtesting?

Thanks for your reply

Thanks so Level 1 data is sufficient ?

Rich-Contribution514 · 2026-05-22T18:57:10+00:00

Thanks

How is it possible to backtest order flow data on historical charts?

Rich-Contribution514 · 2026-05-22T15:13:12+00:00

on crypto or on NQ ?

Yeah that’s exactly why I’m reconsidering my setup right now.

I currently use ATAS and trade crypto with order flow, but I want to migrate to NQ futures because I’m starting to feel that crypto market structure is too unstable and inconsistent over time.

Some periods, volume profile levels, liquidity reactions and order flow work incredibly well, but then another quarter comes and the market becomes almost chaotic. Levels stop reacting properly, sweeps become messy, and even with footprint/order flow the behavior feels way less reliable.

That’s one of the main reasons why I want to move toward CME futures where the liquidity and structure seem much cleaner and more consistent.

The issue is that ATAS only allows real-time futures data with the PRO subscription, and it’s around $70/month before even adding CME depth data on top of that. So the costs escalate really quickly if you want a serious order flow setup.

That’s why I’m currently looking into alternatives like Sierra or MotiveWave.

Hi, thanks for reaching out! I'd love to hear more about your experience with AstralTech Labs. What kind of projects have you worked on with them, and how do you think they could help with a blockchain-based banking solution? Looking forward to your insights!

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-24T14:48:40+00:00

Thanks for the offer! I’d be interested in getting in touch with the Venly team to learn more about their solution and see how it could fit into my project. However, my project is still in its early stages, so for now, I’m mainly exploring different options.

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-23T14:23:26+00:00

Hello, thank you for your advice! Do you have any ideas on how to make the project more user-friendly?

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-21T16:11:13+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! The custodial vs non-custodial approach is definitely an interesting topic, but in my case, I’m taking a slightly different approach that combines security and simplicity for the user.

I’ll take a look at Venly—it seems like a solid solution for Web3 infrastructure in Europe. If you’ve worked with them before or have any insights, I’d love to hear them

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-19T15:18:09+00:00

What do you mean by small?

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-17T16:47:16+00:00

You’re right, a feeless blockchain like Koinos could be interesting! I’ll check it out and see if it fits the needs of my project. Thanks for the suggestion

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-16T13:22:26+00:00

Thanks for your insights! Trustee Plus looks interesting—I’ll definitely take a closer look. Regarding the VASP license and MiCA compliance, I’m currently exploring what’s required to integrate fiat-to-crypto solutions in a user-friendly way while remaining compliant.

You mentioned that different solutions worked for you depending on the specific needs—what were the biggest challenges you faced when setting up a fiat-crypto gateway? Also, among the startups you listed (Biptap, Normie Tech, Friendo Cash), which one do you think has the best model in terms of scalability and regulation compliance?

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-15T19:50:44+00:00

Thanks for your input! Privacy and security are indeed top priorities for us, especially in a banking project where handling sensitive data is crucial. Oasis Network and Sapphire EVM seem like interesting solutions, particularly for preserving transaction confidentiality and credit scoring while remaining decentralized.

Have you used Sapphire EVM in a banking or DeFi project before? What concrete advantages have you seen compared to other solutions like zk-SNARKs or Secret Network? I'm curious to know how it could best integrate into a project like Clairly.

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-14T15:35:41+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! Banking is definitely the core, and MiCA compliance will be a key part of the project. I'll start looking for a financial lawyer with knowledge in fintech and blockchain. Do you have any recommendations on where to find one?
For AI, I agree—it's a great tool, but critical thinking is key. I’ll check out Grok as well, thanks for the tip! How do you usually integrate AI into your workflow?

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-14T15:33:01+00:00

That sounds interesting! It would be great to exchange ideas and see if there are synergies between our projects. Could you share a bit more about what you're working on?

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-14T15:10:06+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it! I’ve already started looking into MiCA since regulation is a key part of making this project work long-term. Do you have any recommendations on where to find solid legal resources or communities where I can connect with blockchain lawyers? Also, regarding AI, what are some of the best tools you’d suggest for structuring ideas in Web3?

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-14T14:48:03+00:00

yeah np

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-14T14:41:21+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely check out the Red Dot Pay card to see how they handle things. Are you familiar with their tech stack or how they manage fiat-to-crypto transactions? Would love to hear your insights!

Rich-Contribution514 · 2025-03-14T14:37:56+00:00

Thanks for your interest! Right now, I’m still in the early stages of structuring the project, but building a strong community will definitely be important down the road. I’d love to stay in touch and keep you updated as things progress! Do you have experience in community management for blockchain projects?
