Intraday ES & NQ markets have been making less and shorter moves
since 8/02 and have slowed down drastically since the beginning of May.
Each move is followed by much longer consolidation taking sometimes
several hours.
Obviously, markets are in a waiting pattern
No wonder your system is showing worse performance - you cannot make
money if the market is not moving.
