This is my scalping: ES = 2 ticks__4 contracts ER = 2 ticks__4 contracts YM = 4 or 5 ticks__4 contracts EURUSD = 10 pips (but I have stopped trading Forex....I would rather trade the EuroFX) VSTscalper

When I travel....I take my laptop....I trade the e-mini Futures without charts. I usually go to a Starbucks….or sometimes from the hotel room….and trade. I don’t use charts because there is not enough room on my monitor for charts and my trading program. I am a Scalper….and I use a...

I agree with romik. However....if I were still trading stocks....I would spread out my shares....buy or sell....over several high daily volume companies (the Basket). Find stocks that are not usually in a tight Range....like a GOOG. In futures....I think it would be much easier to do. I...

You would be lucky if you only had to wait 10minutes. Check out the TS forum befoe trading with them. There charts are excellent. If they ever get the Matrix to working like to fit my needs....I would love to trade with TS....but there is no way I would do that now....at least for Futures...

Stephen, Go download a J-Trader demo somewhere. Try Global Futures or Lions Futures....or any Broker that offers J-Trader. You will need to find the "Hot Quotes" window. Also....NinjaTrader has it. I have been trying NinjaTrader lately....but I am not ready to give up my J-Trader...

Sulong is Right....you really don't need Indicators. Actually....you don't really need Charts. When I travel....I usually go to a Starbucks....trade with my Laptop. I never open up my charting program. I just use the ACV on J-Trader....and Scalp. Of course....doing this....I Scalp...

Stephen, My charts are Simple....using Trendlines....Support and Resistance....and an indicator I developed. I don't use Moving Averages....or any other indicator. For me....less is best. Too many traders Overload their charts with way too much Information....meaning....indicators...

Nick, My background is also in Engineering. I am quite a bit older than you. I will be trading until I can't do it anymore. Question: Why would you want to go to work for a "trading firm"? Why not trade for yourself....have some independence. VSTscalper

JDAndy, The easy part is writing the Rules....and I do have Written Rules....not in my head. The hard part is actually following the Rules. It took me awhile....but from the day I really started following my Rules....I have been successful. Even following my Rules....I still have losing...

"Also....on the Engulfing Candle....you see where it Bounced off the Extended Trendline....which I consider a Support line in this case....that helps Verify the move." This part of my previous post above should have read: "Also....on the Engulfing Candle....you see where it Bounced off the...

I started out trading the ES....but now I also trade the ER. Trading more on the EMD also. Once in awhile I will trade the YM....but not the NQ. I don't think it will make much difference on the NQ. It is still $20 per point....but now 4 ticks at $5 each....instead of 2 ticks at $10 each...

My version of Scalping....I usually try for 2 ticks....4 contracts.

JangoFolly, Well....my Rule states: "the first "Close" above the Range is usually a Fake Out....Wait for the next Candle" for Verification". I have that Rule....because I have seen this so damn many times....I made a Rule....to Protect myself. And....I NEVER break my Rules. Its all about...

I just don't want to break any forum rules....and get traders pissed at me. Hell....someone in another thread already accused me of being someone else....using an alias. Why? Because I put "...." in my sentences....like someone else....who he or she doesn't like. I type faster using "...."...

I wanted to show you another screen shot....real time. See the Yellow rectangle....above the Yellow type. The candles did Break Down....out of the Magenta Range Box....but there was not a Short. Why? I moved the Yellow type to the Right....and "Extended" the Red Trendline up...

Since you started the thread....I guess it is okay. Sure....here is the Market....the ER....real time. I tried to do this fast....but as I typed....the market started moving a little faster. I am a slow typer....but a very fast scalper. My indicator and Trendlines help tell me whether I...

Chartise Can I send you chart in a PM....with a Chart....don't even know if that is possible. I don't want to put a chart in this thread....it may not be welcomed. It is easier to show you than explain it. I can usually spot the Start of a Ranging condition....within 3 Candles (or bars)...

Age: born before time began Location: in the beautiful Seattle area....actually Bellevue_Kirkland....not far from Microsoft and BG Been day trading and scalping stocks....now only Futures....for close to 10 years

Chartiste, I think being a Scalper....I have learned to be a better Trend trader. I know that may sound crazy. My charts are based on one indicator....drawing Trendlines....and Range boxes. Recognizing when the market is starting to go into a Range has saved me many times....when...

Interesting topic! When I first started trading years ago....I was Wild....many ups and downs. I was on a Roller Coaster. It wasn't until....I was almost broke....that I finally decided to put some Controls....on myself. I would be up $500 in the morning....down $500 or more (usually...
