Yep got it now, just missed the 5 lot info. Thanks.

Ok sounds better - but it looks like 2 trades and commissions and fees of $50? Okay, I missed the 5 lot deal.

They are really figuring $25 for commissions? Who pays that? That is WAY to much. Unless they then charge that if you are trading for them?

Why is it hard to do?

It is obvious from this statement that you do not want to be profitable. So what is it that you want? Are you doing this for fun? (Doesn't sound like it's fun for you.) Do you like the anxiety? Is it the thrill of the trade? Gambling? What is it that you want? It is said that we get out of...

Don't get me wrong I am NOT advocating that you paper trade and not trade for real or the other way around. I am simply making an observation based on the information you give. I read someplace or heard or... a guy said that he trades small enough that the individual loss or win is...

Sounds like you still need some basic education to the simple art of trading. Which in itself is a reason to not be trading live. A stop order becomes a market order when touched. So if prices move up "10 cents in less than a second" there is no guarantee that the price you wanted is the...

Reminds me of a book - written by the late Brian Klemmer "If How-to's Were Enough, We Would All Be Skinny, Rich and Happy" Its not the knowing - it is the intention of the result. Do you intend to be successful or.... This could be interesting.

Not so crazy - I have something similar, a moving linear regression of the high and one of the low forming a channel.

Ignorance is another thing that runs high here.... Paying cash for any service from the ER WILL cost much less than anything billed to the insurance company. Personal experience.

Don't know - When I started I looked for the contract that had the highest dollar value per tick move and ended up at the 30yr bond. As I think about it, could be about right, the contract value is $100,000 - but the big difference is it only takes me $1000 to trade. 1 tick is 31.25. I...

NO - I get more disappointed when I do not follow my system. It says take 4 ticks on the first contracts then scale from there. If it hits four then moves down and takes my stop so be it. Experience has told me over all it will work. So I no longer get happy or sad when trades are or are not...

WOW, still don't comprehend the idea of 3 cent trades (I trade futures.) This is working for you? With you methodology here you have to keep a high sucess rate going, (perhaps that is why the quick scalp - can't afford to lose) cause the losers will wipe out ALOT of prior work.

A lot of negative comments here. Working under the assumption that you have a viable trading system/methodology all of the above mistakes are psychological. You do don't you? Something you KNOW is profitable when followed properly. It only has to be a long process because you are telling...

I know not directed at me but... Another thought on exits is to simply move your stop to below the previous swing low, in this case just below 2236 after the minor retrace then turn back up. Moving your stop to just below the stalled area just after your entry would ensure a positive trade...

Never has it been shown that a gun has "just gone off by itself." Many thousands of guns are loaded right now and sit waiting for use and cannot possible discharge. Dropping or banging or improperly adjusting can possibly cause them to discharge if handled improperly and then that becomes...

Suicide is illegal - you cannot sell one kidney if you so desire, so enough have decided that you cannot put a price on your own life. Abortion - brought up by the kid in the video, where he basically says he does not value life, "I am a believer of abortion, therefore I don't believe every...

Couple of thoughts - For this reason alone "cannot afford big losses", of course "big" as defined by yourself, you will most likely not succeed until you have many big losses and much time behind you. Fear and Greed are your two major enemies. Fear to loose and Greed, "I have two ticks."...

Again, another helpful observation based on the fact that there is only one way to trade and scalp properly otherwise he is doing it wrong! Sarcasm aside - why is his way that fits within his parameters "too much"? As they say there is more than one way to skin a cat and I will add that none...

Based on whose trading risk parameters! Is his method right or wrong or maybe just different? Perhaps being constructive would help - not so much critical based on your own risk tolerance.
