choppy?

Quote from slowcpa:

newb questions:

was today an example of a choppy day?

i was tinkering with my indicators and i am not sure if i just screwed myself or the market was less tradeable.

ps any good ways to tell if a day is going to be choppy or trending? (other than actually having to look at a chart)

Market action was choppy. Hardly you can make any money if you were a daytrader.

no offense but yes my original post came right out and said i was a newb (2 months) 6 ticks on 100 lots in the wrong direction 4 times empties my account and gets me a call from my future x-wifes lawyer.

i can see where you are coming from regarding the large lots but im still trying to define a trading system and will limit to 1-2 contracts for now.

have you found it easier to be less emotional and more consistent on 100 lots. i can see where there is an inherent advantage to getting in and out of a trade after 6 ticks for $7500
