Are you blotto/ghost of blotto? I’m certain it’s you. Glad you’re posting again, I feel like I definitely learned some stuff from your old posts. Thanks!

i got nowhere in october. made the switch to tradovate, realizing they are greedy fucks, switched back to amp and getting familiar with sierra. and figuring out how to make fading and breakout/trend strategies to work, while trading 1 contract since amp's overnight is 2k last month, now it's cme maintenance level until who knows when. lose few hundred here and there;

hilmey83,
I highly recommend you look at this automation for SierraCharts, especially if you are looking to scalp.
https://www.simplesystemtrading.com/check-out-sst-at/
It can automate just about any trigger/stop/target combination you can think of. No programming required.

One last try before i call it quits. I've poured over my charts/videos and i've basically giving it one more shot. My strategy i'm settling with is again a fusion of reversion and trend/breakout method into one using vwap. I think i got a good combination of rules for both approach to make it work. Also, sizing down for margin of safety.
IF this does not work out i.e another big loss, i'm gonna go back to what i started this year which was putting money in dividend king/aristrocrat stocks and selling options against it for additional income. It's modest gains, but i think it's a whole lot more consistent then wasting more money and time on this shit. Even though i'm up slightly on the year, i'm pretty much fed up with gaining and losing cycles. Given that i turned 37 this year, i don't want to be in my 40's, 50's and still figuring this shit out, while making less than minimum wage.
So one more shot starting with tonight, posting daily charts/executions. Like I said, one more big loss, and i'm locking this thread and moving on and quit daytrading altogether and put 100% of my money into dividend portfolio. You can mark me as a loser day trading statistic after that point. I may start a new dividend portfolio thread after that.

Then don't be a daytrader/scalper. Just swing it. You cannot scalp something like the NQ with a 1:1 risk/reward reward ratio for anything other than some outrageous shit like a 200 point stop/target. And the fact that that is now the reality means that for volatile markets like the NQ, day-trading is out the window. There's always live cattle. Much more subdued.
