Monday pls come faster (a scalpers wish)

Ok scenario and quiz question:

You are trading NQ, and market opens. You are trading a fast time based bar. Previous structure right before open was somewhat range bound. Opening bar is an outside bar, and 2nd bar gives follow through and closes to new highs / lows

What’s the most important thing to look at here that, if lined up correctly, will a) keep you in the right side of the market and b) give you the best probability for success on next trade

And the typical “scalping is picking up scraps” post. Another (yawn)

Spending ALL DAY picking up scraps.

Now imagine having an army of those guys that pick up a couple of million scraps a day....and you have Virtu et al.

Don't discount the scraps. Every good trader I know started out as a scalper.

OP probably just had a single winning day out of 20 losing days and wanted to flaunt his big balls a little. Allow it...he probably will go back down to his moms basement, hide behind his 2nd hand laptop to trade the ES on this ToS account on Monday

I just come on to these boards looking for some good reads

Nice trick question

I think scalping is a fine strategy (however, the risk/rewards isn't great probability-wise). OP's attitude about everyone who doubts them is absolute shit, however, which is the bone I have to pick.

So I really only go on these boards ever so often looking for interesting threads on the emini’s.

I Primarily scalp the emini’s but I can and do hold for nice trends when available during the morning session.

But my passion is in scalping. I never see any threads on scalping or informative or interesting emini stuff.

Not looking for ideas, or new setups. I just come on to these boards looking for some good reads and yet I see the same jokers are posting about the same shit.

Does nobody trade successfully around here? It’s getting more and more pathetic around here. Maybe the millennial generation doesn’t feel like putting the work in. Or maybe they only believe the traders that fail when they say it’s impossible. Who knows who cares.

All I know is I am not a fan of weekends. I love when Monday morning comes around. I love the thrill of scalping fast markets

I took 4.25 points out of NQ Friday morning first trade of day....oco order in and out in 9 seconds. Quickest $640u can make. I’m on here on a Saturday bc I miss the action ! Ok rant over, I’ve got nothing else to say.

I haven’t logged in here for years, but I was able to remember my password. I was bored tonight so I decided to drop by. The very first post I saw was somebody complaining that Trump caused the market to gap down again. The poster mentioned “This guy doesn’t know when to shut up” or something like that lol. I realized this place hasn’t changed at all...

I used to check this board every now and then, but it slowly turned into garbage. There was a time where lots of good information was shared. Maybe there still is. But I haven’t seen those threads. The successful traders seem to be few and far between.

Believe it or not there are a few excellent scalping threads over on forex factory. Charts posted daily, explanations behind trades, and minimal negative bs. I’ll shoot you a PM.

forex factory

Ah yes, taking advice from people who take part in the de facto standard of modern bucket shops. Exactly the kind of people I'd take scalping advice from.

Yep, move on along, this place is not for you, life is very serious, ET is on the pathway to Hell, any laughter should be forbidden.
