I agree that one of the main ideas/ advantages of scalping is the consistency that you can achieve. When scalping dozens of trades per day, the statistical law of large numbers will pretty soon show you if what you do makes sense and if it is profitable, or if it is BS. If you only do 1 or 2...

Since spreads and correlations in the (US) indices have been mentioned a few times now, I would like to add a little hint for the guys (and girls) here that are looking for new perspectives in their trading: maybe have a look at the FDAX, FESX and CAC40. If you do it right you can create some...

Are the prop firms you work with mostly in UK or US ? Could you name a few of them, or is it a secret :) ?

I think you are posting in the wrong thread lol :)

Maybe Dukascopy might be the right place for you ? Legitimate and reputable FX/ CFD broker in Switzerland (so no trouble with all that ESMA crap), they even have the Swiss Banking license. Very good platform, high enough leverage, low commissions. One of my favourites for spot FX trading.

So what next, are you SIM trading now ? Or you stop completely ?

What happend to this journal ? This was good shit ! Ran out of coins ?

Lol, that was clear :cool::thumbsup:

I wonder if Rotter could be profitable scalping the markets in 2018.

Yes, before they reduced the tick value of the Schatz, after that he did more in Bund and Bobl.

http://neurensic.com/eurex-putting-spoofing-market-manipulation-algos-notice/ But somehow there are still games played especially in the Bund, every day. But I have no problem with that, it also gives us plenty of action and opportunities.

Today in the Bund future: First: A bit later: --> Good fun :-)

That sounds like the best thing ever... different prices (sometimes 5 pips) for the same instrument, with the same broker ? You should arbitrage this to the moon and back, not complain about it :cool:

Lol, thats the best reason to trade I ever heard :D:thumbsup:

Especially if there is a trend. Gotta fade the crowd. I dont like scalping in a range. Yes, you make a few small scalps here and there, but sooner or later it will break out of the range and chance is high that as a fader you will be on the wrong side, and the move has just started. Better to...

But why you dont include these losing trades in your journal ? I think you and others here might lern more from these big losses and blowups than from your winning trades.

What happend to your account balance, seems like a zero is missing... you had a large losing trade ?

You have some golden nugget here... now go and trade it !

With such a rigid and dogmatic attitude you might do pretty good as some kind of religious extremist. In the markets however, you wont survive for very long that way. You wont even have to wait for the "long term".

Why scalp: - dozens of great opportunities every day - much easier to make very short term predictions than long term predictions - providing liquidity --> market compensates you for this over time - minimise risk (very little time in market, usually just a few seconds)
