The ability to surf the web and trade at the same time.. :D

I think let your winners run cut your losers short is a little overrated for day trading.. For me i like fixed targets.. It's much easier... The best thing I can tell you is do some backtesting... Figure out on average how far the market goes up/down before reversing back to your entry level...

I agree with you 100 percent... but my main goal was to have the OP think outside the box... Trading isn't black and white.. There are many ways to skin this cat..:)

This is simple.. Keep doing what you are already doing and trade your own money.. 13k is more than enough to make 2k-4k a week.. Forget about finding more trades just focus on being consistent and the money will come (i promise).. Just add more contracts if you are not satisfied with your...

Mechanical systems are cool if your risk reward is good enough.. If i lose two or three times knowing that one win will bring me back to breakeven or show profits.. Then im cool with the mechanical system.. Here's an idea that most people don't do.. Trade two systems! A lot of people are...

I'm sorry that you feel that way.. Happy holidays!!

In order to make it work you will have to understand why first.. So that's why I had to explain to you that the market will ALWAYS work a certain way.. And by knowing that now, I can actually teach you the math side of martingale.. But now I don't know if I want to teach people the math part...

Human behavior? Or really... Who done told you that, your broker? Your friend down the street or the cab driver? I guess you believe everything you read/hear.. Human behavior doesn't control nothing.. Yes, the market do need humans to buy and sell but that doesn't mean we control the market...

Bullshitting? Calm down RN it's not that serious.. RN, let me ask you this.. Do you day trade for a living ? If so, when was the last time you had 10 losers in the row.. If your answer is every week or month then I'm sorry I cant help you.. Martingale cant help you and martingale isnt the...

The market is a business.. A matter of fact, the biggest business in the world.. The same business the government profits from and you really think they would make it go to zero? or better yet, when was the last time you saw the market go to zero? Never... The market has to attract small fish...

Funny how people never answer my post with facts but only with vague answers.. I gave you facts.. The market will ALWAYS make double tops, a pull back, a breakout, and support & resistance.. I dear you show me one intraday day chart that doesnt have one of the four things I just mention.. I will...

First of all, people need to be reminded that you don’t need martingale to blow up an account .. Their is so much negativity with martingale. As if it is the main reason why a person will lose. The last time I checked 90% of traders are losing money and I will bet majority of them aren't using...

First of all, most people wont understand martingale because you have more people trading small accounts then big accounts.. Second, most people get enjoyment from saying if I cant do it then nobody can do it.. Third, it's multiple ways to do martingale and from what I see so far most people on...

I never said it was a trading strategy…

Dangerous? Last time i checked trading by itself is dangerous.. Martingale isn't for weak people and people that don't know how to use it.. And only the reason why casinos prevent martingale is because they want you to lose money not win back your money..

Pretty weird.. I haven't seen not one person say you know what martingale is pretty risky but it could work out if you know what you are doing.. I guess that shows you most people follow what other people do.. Martingale could work if you know what you are doing.. There is no such thing as one...

But what about days when its hard to actually get 20 ticks on every trade? Are you going to let three trades in the row hit your breakeven stop. That actually happened to me.. One trade I was up 18 ticks waiting for two more ticks just see it turn into a breakeven.. This will mess with your...

Has anyone got Martingale to work out?

5 min chart

Crazy day.. It was choppy at first then finally had some good movement.. 4 Wins 2 losses, 1 breakeven... I only snagged 20 ticks today but I'm cool with that.
