Play with time frames until you see stairstep patterning. Enter on pullbacks and put stop under/over entry pivot and remember the works of the immortal yogi Berra...."It ain't over 'till it's over."

Sometimes you just have to shake your head.:rolleyes:

Again. the higher time frame rules, look for entry on the lower one. Just decide which tf's are part of your plan, more than 2 or 3 and you will always have time frame conflict and will always have a reason to take...or not take a trade. Signals need to be clear.

$500 on a 50k account on a leveraged futures contract with a relatively conservative 10k margin per contract and 5 contracts is a daily average of 8 ticks on the ES or 20 ticks on the NQ. It's really not a big deal for the seasoned, prepared trader. What is a big deal is the great deal of time...

The best education is many many hours of watching price development.

Experts like Brad Pitt...

Maybe if they hadn't nationalized the oil fields, proper hedges would have been set in place. Socialists were never good at capitalism.

Bigotry is cool...as long as it's the correct brand.

They might vent their frustration on the politicians who have raided the trust funds and refuse to address Big Pharm lobbies and tort reform among other factors which have emptied the kitties.
