This makes sense to me I wonder why everyone is complicating it so much. Also to let's say u have a 1 point on the downside and 2 points on the upside. I have been watching and sometimes the direction doesn't hit the 2 points exactly but sometimes comes super close. What you increase ur profit if let's say u where at 1.5 point to move up ur stop to your entry point?
I want to take a course on how to trade es

Great observation. Now quantify those ratios/adjustments you mentioned within specific instrument(s), at specific times. Get your hands on fairly accurate tick level backtesting/automation software. You can use MS excel for crude quant model prototyping. Simple is good.

Jigsaw Trading videos are great! Jigsaw sells trading software, but they also have a bunch of free educational videos on their website about order flow and reading the DOM. Peter the owner of the company is a sponsor here and personally trades the ES as well.

why not open a journal on ET?
Because I want to check regularly IF ( more how Trading) will give you what you are seeking.
If we aren't whistling Dixie here,that's the big IF

I'll open when when the time is right and I start.
Haven't messed with Tradestation since 2000. It was shitty back then, if using to analyze granular data. Search this website for some options.
