Forgot "New Concepts in Technical trading" by Welles wilder. Old book but if you want to understand indicators start here. Launched my trading in 1999 with this book. Several booms and busts later I now scalp for the most part. target 4 points a day on ES. Not to say there has not been many...

take it for what it's worth I've been doing this for a little while and it's kept a roof over my head. a boat in the yard and the wife happy so I guess I'm doing something right it's impossible to forward test anything without tick data. With that said it's survive the test of time and that in a...

10 ticks up/down is level 2 quotes and I have not found or heard of anything different other than block position holders you can research through the CME.

1 minute chart for opening bell on ES (futures) after that 5 minute and after 3pm 1 minute when bond traders migrate from stocks to futures.

Don't quite understand but am comfortable with what I do and keeps roof over my head for some time now.

Block traders or market makers blow it up in the mini's!

That puts the ratio at over 10% per trade against account. @ 100K Not realistic

Good point on the Big Boys (bond traders and market makers ) Frankly I think there is no longer a need for market makers, nothing short of boiler rooms to wipe out stops. I have always wondered if they have a deeper look than the level 2 quotes (10 above and 10 below last price) .

I trade 1 ES period. Institutional traders generally block trade the mini's and this guy is no trader.

Trading 4 S&P Mini's and 3 Dak's would require a cash account of around 100K and from the statements you have made it is very clear to any real trader your playing with a demo account and my bets are your not around after your demo runs out.
