How would you describe your trading style?

[imjohn]

Day trading Equity Index futures. Use several time frames and a few MA lines.

Entries are 85% trend pullbacks, 15% reversals.

Average 5 trades/per day.

Target & Stop on every trade. Target is always 1.5x greater than Stop.

Hit target 48-49% of the time.

Edit add: My "style", or just say trade plan, has very defined signals and it's a "low-stress" deal for me. Of course there are times when volatility is high and I'm glued to a screen (though I find that enjoyable), but most days I'm able to direct attention to several other things while trading. (e.g read or study things that interest me, talk to family/friends, enjoy my meals, etc.)

sorry dumb question. i'm looking at index future ticker: es, nq, etc. how come i'm not able to pull those up on tradingview?

I've never used tradingview. Not sure how that works.
