Quote from emg:

filled short 1185.00. looking 1pt profit

How many lots are you trading? Man, I dunno if it's worth the bother to aim for 1 point profit in this market with near-death volatility.

I think you should flip long and sell at the close.

Fair enough. Can you then tell me how many 1-point trades you make throughout the day? Moreover, how many lots?

Frankly, I'm more interested in whether you're able to make enough money in this slowass market to put food on the table and roof over your head.

I average 3 contracts per trade depending on the volitility. If the average volitility is 15pts per day, i be trading 1 contracts because i add contracts to average my price.

Being a 15 years full time trader, i diversify my portfolio by trading stocks (70%) , fx (5%), bonds (20%), and futures (ES, beans, bonds, and cattles)(5%).
