45-55% based on original entry for me is breakeven plus 1 tick, I designed method to have this happen cause I average down on each trade, so ever tick better is then +2, +3 etc. But you get so close, it is a crime to not get at least a tick, there always be another trade. Some days all I get are 4-16 trades of one tick, it adds up, 4 points less fees, I concentrate on Capital Preservation and not profits.
ES is an animal that mostly under 60 minutes likes to mess with trendlines, it breaks and gives you slip then it waffles around. I prefer the trendline break-retrace providing it a strong enough break, meaning it finishes strong and then go back into the waffle area, price comes back to get in. There is a reason why price retraces like this, to screw the inexperienced. They nail the retail trader on the breakout, they under capitalized and use tight stops, so market comes back against them, so get out at breakeven and others takes a loss where I am getting in, market starts in my direction, at some point those just got out jump back in on emotions to propel enough for me to get two points and I get out only to watch it often come back down to Screw the inexperienced. I luv this game.
