I seldom ever risk more than 2 ticks on mental stop, although I do have a hard stop at 3.00 points. Only time I use bigger stop is when I see a pattern of forming a Secondary low and the DOM shows much more total volume on the Ask side for five levels.

I only trade off one minute charts, but do have 60 minute and Daily chart in case of getting near a trendline where I might extend target, take bigger volume of contracts or avoid trade altogether, I certainly don't want to buy into a downsloping trendline on the 60 minute when I know my longer term automatic program will be selling there.

All my testing shows I can make a two tick move over 90% of the time, but I prefer to target more cause too often I don't get filled if it just goes two tics, so if market goes three ticks, it will most likely go 4-5 ticks. But I am watching the DOM volume very closely as am looking for a flip flop or tightness closing in that tells me there is a 70% probility that there will be a three tick change in price.

Plus 4/6

Secondary high formed this time, very quick rise, huge diff between price and EMA and waited for a very tiny retracement to be broken to sell retracement.

I have found it better to get out early if I am on top of price ending in "00" or "50"

Plus 4/7
