Quote from einstein:
For trading ES would u suggest 5000 or 10000 vol?
In a strong uptrend when the retrace is shallow (less than 50% fib) do u recommend entering on a close and a "magic tick" above the last HH meaning with a break of former resistance now becoming support?
Two time frames. One for entry one to notice if price is anywhere near a meaningful support, resistance area or if its consolidating hinting that the moves will be small or perhaps escaping out of a triangle formation. The anchor chart is very important, the entry chart is just for fine tuning the entries, for that you can use 2500 or 5000 depending on high volume is on that particular day.
For entries try to look for engulfing candles around the trendlines. Even if its an uptrend you still want to buy low and if downtrend you still want to short high. Start with a predetermined stop and target in mind at first, shoot for bigger reward than risk or you won't like your PL at the end of the week.
Patience is extremely important, good trades don't pop every 30 seconds. If you find 3-4 in a day you are doing above average.
