Hello robthequant, From my experience trading ES, CL, and NQ and other traders I know, all future markets is good for scalping.

Lmmmmfaoo hahahahahah hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

John9999, I understand John. I intraday trade as well. And I keep my finger on the exit trigger. When I see price turning against me, I exit for a profit. Sometimes it's a $60, or $120, or $340, or $250 or even $80 profit. I just close the trade. I do allow for runners, but some time no...

John9999, 1. Why did those 3 trades end in 0 profits? 2. Were you waiting on a predefined profit target price to exit the trade? 3. If yes, How often does this happen where your predefined Target is not hit? I would hate to see you change something that could lead to bad results that is...

John9999, As long as you are changing your fixed stop loss and fixed profit target per trade and per market conditions, you will be fine. If you are using a fixed stop loss and fixed profit target for ALLL trades, then you will have a drawdown once market conditions change. But using a...

Thanks TTT, With intraday trading, i am noticing that is not about repeated method/system, but repeated ability to know what to do when price is trending, what to do when it may reverse, and how to enter. It really requires a thought process and adaptability. Some of the main challenges is...

Thanks TTT , Are you stating to focus on good trading fundamentals and less on rather or not the trade currentry in will make money or not?

Congraluations TTT on your sucess. Do you mind sharing 1 or 2 things that made your sucessfully trading intraday that can help someoneelse out who trades intraday?

Hello Handle123, I agree with you and thanks for your wisdom and experience. You mentioned something I am learning as well, and that is "You just learn how to adapt and spot potential problems in a second". Good experience is key in my opinion.

El OchoCinco, Good comment and you are sooooooooo right. I can tell you, I have been there trying those if indicator X above 20, and indicator U less then 40 enter here trading systems, set stop to 28 ticks, hold. It does not work. For ES or anyone reading, I can say for sure, there is no...

ElectricSavant, Why do you state such thing? Do you need some help with something? Can you provide some reason or logic to this? My first task when I decided to day trade (part time for now) was determine one thing: Are their traders who make a living day trading? That answer is YES. A...

John, Please John post as much as you want anytime you want. EsKiller, Be kind, be nice, be respectful at alllll times. Those things are free in life. John needs help, help him , or don't say nothing , but never be rude. You never know how your words could effect someone day.

John9999, Don't worry about the profit or loss, Worry about the why of the trade. Do not be mad at yourself, rather try to understand why you did this? Was it gut feel, in the moment or just some silly old revenge trading "I will show you who is the boss market", etc. If the trade was...

I enjoy listening to this song.

Hello all, This is just my humble comments for any newbie trader or experienced or whatever. From my personal experience (I am still a paper trader learning price action methods, and back testing and trading live and studying and practicing and making mistakes, etc), for the normal person...

Hello schweiz, I appreciate your response. It was very well stated and needed to be said. Thanks

Hello John, I believe trading is hard for the following reasons: 1. Because the lack of time the trader may have to study the charts and find a profitable strategy over X amount of trades. Assuming everyone works a full time job, it will take a very long time study charts and test different...

Good point tiddlywinks, I 100% with this right here. "Learn to bank and reenter" That is something I am working on right here.

Hello John9999, It is nothing wrong with bringing your stop to break even once you in the profit by X amount of ticks if and only if you have a logically/technical reason for bringing your stop to breakeven. No, I don't struggle with bringing my stop to breakeven, I struggle with exiting too...
