Lack of volatility in ES getting brutal

[lovethetrade]

I recommend not getting too attached to ES, there's plenty of other futures instruments and securities to choose from that can represent better trading opportunities at any given point in time.

been forward testing this for a few days using Topstep ..so far surviving. So much easier when time is limited, I check in before closing using Teamviewer.

How do you determine which are the 4-5 days per month unless you're actually watching ES every trading day and just waiting ?

Thus, if you're watching every day and waiting for those 4 - 5 days per month...you using some kind of alerts to prevent being stuck in front of the computer or do you decided early in the trading day that you like or don't like what you see ?

I ask because I've notice on many trading days that the Emini ES futures has a crappy opening but it doesn't give clues to how the rest of the trading day will evolve via its volatility. Simply, it leaves waiting for a schedule market event, political global event or U.S. economic event the shake the hornets nest sort'uv speak.

I watch how Candles A and B behave (30m) from there I draw my conclusion if it looks like it MAY be a trend day. Some do not become trend days, most do and I do not miss a trend day.

No alerts. I watch from 9:00 to 9:30 CST everyday. If it sets up (rarely) I enter the trade with brackets. If it doesn't set up, I'm off to other things.

Good luck.

Honestly.. once again... more cheap words. You're just like Trump, the master of redirection of a topic. So first you killed it scalping the ES, then you lost for 5 years, and now you're going to to put more money into a sub-sub-sub account and try again? What would be the point if you're killing it doing whatever it is that you're doing, which we still have no idea about, except that you're so good that you're not even trading your own money any more.

Honestly, I'm at a loss for words to trying to find anything useful or credible in your post. Since you've been around for a long time I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, but its getting difficult. I mean right at the end of your post you say that you think everyone should scalp a few ticks, and yet, your original post berated ESKiller for taking only scalps since this was all that the ES was offering. Is your trading just as all over the place as your last 2 replies?

What does Trump have to do with volatility in the ES market? You sound deranged.
