I so hope you got 2793...
Trade the nq for intra day. got in on the 1 min engulfing bar, added on 5 min engulfing and 10 and 15 min reversal bars. Also had 10 and 15 min engulfing action looking at consecutive 5 min bars. Powerful signal when it builds out on longer time frames, keep scaling in. Doesn't get any cleaner then that. Nq, rty and ym can give me good time based signals entries and confirmation, es not so much for intra day. Speaking for myself of course.
could go to 2910
This is lost on pretty much everyone who reads this thread. They are scoffing at my suggestion that you’re up over 50%, yet that’s a conservative number given your approach.
Smh. You can lead a horse to water....
On 3-1 leverage as you suggested one would have to capture 450 handles on the position for a 50% gain this year. We have been in a 300 handle range since January 1st so that’s 1.5x range. Best you got on the last swing from lows is about 300 points.
Copy that. It’s an all around silly argument. Most people don’t have 100% of their capital committed to trading or futures in particular. I can be up 30% on my futures trading account but lag market returns on my overall capital if the balance is in cash. I’m not going to begin to guess or care what anyine else’s overall roi is based on a trading joiurnal.
I once had a large portion of my capital committed to and collateralized for a real estate deal before we could get fincnacing and had limited trading options for a short time. At the time I ran a $10,000 account to over $30,000. But it didn’t even move the needle on my overall returns for the year and in hindsight was not worth my time when considering opportunity costs. If I could do the same with a $2,000,000 account that would be worth bragging about. Agree to disagree.
