A scalp is defined here as a trade lasting 10 minutes plus or minus I don't use ticks to enter. I use them to get out...sometimes. if the scalp trade has not quite reached its objective, but you see the ticks have hit the extreme and bouncing back against you... get out at the market...

One of the well meaning snake oil types came up with what you are talking about. He taught it at seminars. He lost his a$$ and his teachlings a$$ too. He said every time ticks went over +1000, sell. There is something to $TICKS, but it is more complicated than what that guru was teaching.

Long term position trading in futures is only done by the very deepest of pockets or the very newest of traders. Using my own pyramiding scheme, I rode that momentum bubble from the day that the first NQ contract came out until the June 2000 contract. tripled my account and lost it all in...

I didn't catch if you were doing futures or stocks. Assuming futures................... Large asset companies (the big boys) with enormous size cannot just lay on a trade like you and me. The trade has to go in in pieces. This limits the time frames that they can work. When the trade goes...

Mr Galt. Ur giving me the creeps, making me remember when I was doing that! Stop trading and start learning. You will only build baggage if you continue to trade. Paper trade but no actual money. Make it as real as you can, but no actual trades. Once you have built confidence...

Manolo..as a former newbie myself, I can tell you that you are confusing the newbies. This post is for the newbies that are reading this thread. What is your time frame? More than ten years ago I was at one of the many talks that Bill O'Neil of IBD gave to get people to buy his paper...
