Quote from saliva:
By suggesting that the market will hit the low somewhere between 894 and 897, doesn't that in itself surmise that this noob is counting points, not dollars?
:eek:
haha, say what you want. it doesn't really matter on this anonymous board. but that is my real last name because i don't have anything to hide. i have worked with professionals, as a real paying job, not some bogus prop shop. while some traders might agree with you, many won't.
by suggesting a daily point(given proper disicpline) is what many succesful traders use, and not just for futures. trading is about maximization, for growth, but it should be growth in terms of points/contract, not dollars because then when you keep increasing your contract size, the dollars will grow.
obviously some say this causes over or under trading, which is why as simple as this sounds, it's actually pretty tough to implement over a long period of time. try it if you like, you will be surprised, ur break even days will suddenly seem profitable over an extended period.
understood, there is nothing newbie about that, take it at it's face value or leave it, i don't really care.
