    Scalping for 4 ticks; mangement?

    I would love to get 6 ~ 8 ticks, but sometimes it goes up like 5 ticks and turn around and hit my SL, which pissed me off. I do not know a way to tell when short term trend has stopped completely or not.

    Scalping for 4 ticks; mangement?

    That is quite pessimistic! I still believe that scalping is very doable because at least there are hedgers who do not really care about losing money in the market. Therefore, I believe that there are still dumb money or do not care money out there that I can somehow capitalize on. Feel free to...

    Scalping for 4 ticks; mangement?

    Hello guys I would like to scalp 4 ticks constantly on ES. I always debated myself on what to do for stoploss. Obviously, I will keep profit target at 4 ticks all the time. Also I will keep stoploss at 4 ticks. However, will it be more beneficial if I use trailstop instead of fixed 4 ticks...

    ES: How many setups do you trade? Trading only the open?

    I think people who claim that they can have an edge by looking at DOM are sales people who sell their products or services. But who knows? I am still learning everyday like yourself.

    ES: How many setups do you trade? Trading only the open?

    For DOM, just a lot of experience. You simply can't learn by words. I probably read most of famous trading books out there, but non helped me out so I cannot recommend any. Just like learning tennis for the first time, you just have to grab a racquet and swing at the ball. It wouldn't be a...

    ES: How many setups do you trade? Trading only the open?

    I think there is no right or wrong answer here. Just go after what you are good at. I tried many many strategies and theoratically 2 to 1 Risk Reward ratio was the best method since I only needed at least 35% winning rate to breakeven.However, it just did not fit to my style. For DOM, in my...

    ES: How many setups do you trade? Trading only the open?

    I actually started with 2 point profit target with 1 point stoploss because on forums people always emphasize on larger reward risk ratio of at least 2 to 1. Sometimes it worked well sometimes it didn't. I got pissed off on trades where I was up 3 ~ 7 ticks then suddenly it reverses and hit my...
