Proof that scalpers can make money

[maxinger]

Good for you mister.

In games, we always want to up our level.

Similarly, in trading, we should up our level.

Most of us start with swing trading stocks.
We should progress to swing trading futures.
Then progress to day trading or scalping.

To up the level, we have to work extremely hard.
We have to sweat blood.

Do note that
Most of the traders in the trading house / hub are day traders / scalpers.

Looks like NT7. I know that journaling well. Details are missing, like entry and exit prices, and exit times.

I got to safeguard my trading system by blacking out those details...

No, you don't. 1 Dec 20 NQ contract, with entries and exit prices listed, is not going to destroy your system. You really, REALLY, gotta' trust me on that.

Yeah I started to day trade/swing stocks many years ago when ETFs weren't available. I remember how excited it was when retail traders were able to trade single ETF like SPY, then 3x leverage ETFs and etc....

I scalp and have equally as good runs but I also have equally as bad runs sometimes the market suites you and some times it doesn't.

Scalping is where we all end up, more control over scalping, leave yourself less open to randomness, you place a trade for a reason, you exit shortly after when that reason is no long valid, not hold through 12 news releases to get to a fixed TP.

I compare a true scalper to this hawk for knowing where his great strength lie and how to hunt as a pro for survival.

Oh fer' crying out loud. You are trading 1 NQ contract a day on average. The fack you think you are that you need to protect your precious details, and then euphemize it like a bird of prey diving for a fish? HUH? WHA?

Yer lost in your own ego. May the markets humble you to the point where you realize that posting details about your entries and exits will HAVE NO EFFECT ON YOUR MAGICAL SYSTEM! YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO THE NASDAQ THAT YOUR LITTLE 1 CONTRACT TRADES WILL AFFECT THE GLOBAL MARKET ECONOMY!!!

I wonder about pretentious people like you, who think you are SO important and special that your system will break the world, or if the world found out about your 1 contract system, would break it.

Unbelievable.

Did @Dazz get into your ahead again??? Please don't make me to put you on ignore LOL.

I followed your journals years ago and were aware of your frustration in trading because you couldn't make profits consistently. So, you end up to only LONG market with a hope that if your entry goes sour, your trade will end up to make money when market goes back up someday or months later??? That's NOT how a trader trades man.

About your above post, it's not about ego thing because every trade is a trap if you don't posses pro skills just like a hawk competing for foods with others in a small pond.

What I am trying to tell you is...Looking at your current journal, there is no reason you cannot post your entries and exits with your 1 contract trades. There is no need to hide them. That is all I am saying. Your system will not break if you post them here.

Here is two profitable trades for almost $600 that I did tonight in an aggressive swing trading account with entry and exit to chill you out LOL...
