"Easier" has many variables. Since each persons strategy is different, what may be easier for me may be harder for you. I dont think its quantifiable.

Think we are setting up for new highs this afternoon . 2405+

uh, ok thank you for that ?

You mean fall of 2015 ? Personally that was one of my best periods

ES been so dead lately vol wise, not even worth trading. NQ much better opportunity lately

Decreased volatility, triangle pattern on hourly in a pullback. All looks good for more up

i often find non-farm days to be difficult to trade. This is due to the elephant bar @8:30est that occurs after the news hits. Sends price structure into some unusually screwy patterns. When I see market open and price hover somewhere near this elephant bar, often taking 1/2 targets and being...

Think so ? Based on the hourly looks to me like we are going to continue down

NQ still on quite the tear

Still no sellers in sight though. From a 1 min perspective we might have another leg to go. If it fails here, it might be trapping enough people to get a few short trades in.

Looks like its going to the moon. time will tell

Depends how long you are holding a trade for. I trade off the 1 min and the hourly and look at nothing else. I scalp and I swing trade. I will hold more than a day if the trade calls for it. Today we are in a distributive phase according to my strategy and am shorting the 2364-2366 area and...

Swing wise, we needed to push down to about 2055ish before going flat for me to have liked this open...... Scalping wise, I like at least 6 tick range bars off open to be getting the volatility I need to get in and out or else I am making between 1-3 ticks each trade which is risky business on...

today gearing up for an inside day. Its no good for anybody ! sell highs buy lows

3 tick range bar on the opening bar in 1 min chart ? Also no volume at the open.

First of all, stick to one instrument. ES for instance. Start studying how it moves. Study everything about price. Also you will need to break it down via time periods. 930-1030, 1030-12, 12-1, etc.... If you are going to study price, you need to stick to a specific time period first of...

as the market moves straight up without any pullback over a period of days or even weeks, like it did after the Trump election, volatility tends to contract in an uptrend. Now this makes swing trading easier, but it makes scalping much tougher......at least for me.

lets hope this rally fails in the coming days or else another volatility collapse is on our way in about a weeks time.

Its hard for you to do b/c you were going against the trend on the 1 and 5 min, and hourly charts. You can't just randomly buy a falling knife and expect to have consistent profits. YOu need to wait for some type of confirmation for counter trend trades.

Especially when you've been making a living at something he says is not possible for quite a long time, and feeds lies to people.
