REQUEST: Please share your insights and thoughts on daytrading the ES, DAX or CL
 
stops are used...only used in the form of:
1-"mental" (manual) stops
2-"max $$$ loss amount" function activated and position is exited by market order...

NO 'point' stops are ever used...
 
I look for DAX divergences in relation to ES as US markets open...also...'spikes' either way in the CL are great entries for long or short DAX, ES...
