    Well I keep it simple actually, If I feel a move is boiling I go in... if it takes more than 5 seconds to start then is not here yet, Im out. Once the move starts if it stops for more than a couple of seconds or a couple of ticks backwards, Im out.

    Well Im just learning how to scalp at the NQ {I like the 5$ tick much better than the 12.5$ ticks at ES} been at it for a week, I got to +$100 today for the first time. Most of the day I go taking 1-3 ticks, same on winners and lossers. But I hit a few 6-8 tickers... I usually cut my profits...

    Yep most people leave on the first six months. That´s because they give a shot to anyone no matter what background, and give em money to trade... If it´s a scam then it isn´t really a good one since the only money at play is their´s... I guess canadians are lousy scam artists...
