I have 12 commandments or rules that I follow and never break. The rare times I'm on 'tilt' that I do break them, I have a losing day. Follow these rules and after a few months you'll rarely have a losing day if you stay disciplined.
Lets have a good discussion on what else some of you guys are doing. These stay printed on my wall at all times.
The Trading Rules:
#0 Write down econ reports in the morning. Stay out near these times!
#1 NO TRADING AFTER 3PM FRIDAY, IN DEAD ZONE OR FIRST 15 MINUTES!
#2 Don't go against the 89 tick for entry ever!
#3 Use blue/red heikin ashi for pin point entry
#4 Don't fight 3min stochastic unless your in a strong trend day (adds +/- 2000)
#5 Always have your stop in mind. If trigger stop is over 50 then be cautious
#6 Trade in the direction of the major 60min/15min trend (if its not a chop day)
If CHOP day atleast take 89tick entry in direction of adds/filters/drift
#7 Do a quick scan of ATR, Volume and ticks before entry
Look for reasons NOT to trade. Not reasons to trade!
#8 Have pit noise on at all times. Expect chop when its low
#9 Be aware of pivots, bid/ask volume(look for divergence),block tape and nearby s&r areas
#10 Be aware of the ES charts and it's important areas
#11 Be aware of the 15 minute moving averages which we use as dynamic support and resistance
Remember 2-3 Trades a day is plenty to make a good living!!
