Scalping NQ

I am not currently trading futures yet, but I have done some research on your question. Seeing as you mentioned using limit orders for entry, I will only talk about the slippage on stop orders. Do keep in mind this is just what I have read, if some one with live experience would like to point out any mistakes please feel free to.

Slippage will vary depending on the amount of contracts being traded. I think it would be safe to say that the below slippage can be expected when trading 10-20 lots. And the ES probably 50 lots...

ES 0 in some cases maybe 1 tick
NQ 0-1 in some cases 2-3
YM 0-1 in some cases 2-4
ER 1-3 in some cases 4-6

The “in some cases” is in low volume parts of the day or if the market is moving fast from news ect.

Thank you it makes sense

so the worst will be ER as for slippage

mmm interesting
 
I myself would like to see more comments on this, but most people here look down on scalping because they cant do it themselves.

If you have great commissions/fees and high probability trading scalping can be very profitable... I myself take whatever the market gives me, but with my demo trading NQ average profits are 4 to 10 ticks as usually jumps in this market are more that 2 ticks.

To archive more than 2 ticks just take some of and let the rest ride putting stop at break even (the free trade)

I trade intraday and I've been doing great I am just toying around with the idea of scalping. As it is , scalping is very difficult. I 've been trading on demo but I know real time is another story

Thanks a lot

Multiple operator's from ET
can perform 100 operations with enm7
for 3 month . With platform without charge
as TA for 3.25 $ RT

by 1 point risk for 3-4 point reward average

from 100 operations only 30-36 would profitable . (for low volume) In average
case for each win 60-80$ two loss ,each with
20$ - 100*3.25$.
33*20$ or 33*40$ -325$ = profit for one contract for 3 month/100 operations

How many operations for 3 month can perform scalper with enm7 ?How many operations would profitable with best platform for scalping

I was not implying that one could make more money scalping then another type of trading, simply if one has a profitable system then they are simply profitable, the style/type of trading is irrelevant...

Can you provide relevant information for 1000 operations
of scalping -How many operations are profitable ?
How great is average win and how great is average loss ?

About trading style of one USA champion Mark D.Cook
you can read on he's site www.markdcook.com
It is not scalping

Another champion Martin Schwartz have bueyed place on exchange
( mass of reatail operator can not make that) ,but he's
great win was related to first Iraq War ,it was alsov not
scalping .

Mark Minervini from Quantech alsov not scalper

Which of scalper have comparable result ? Recorded
by authority
( as example Larry Williams record 10000% was falsificated
and he was fined from SEC)

First in each human activities are motive - Who need
and promouted great volume (scalping) of contract's
per day ?

1. Your broker -sell platform for 1000$ per month
and received multiple 1000$ commissions
per month
2. CME - great volume realted for great exchange fee's





Your respectfully
 
I bet some traders have and edge on scalping. I think it's very difficult. I've been practicing on simm but I know in real time things are different.

nah!!!!!! I 'll stick to my system

Scalping could be profitable but it's not for me

I admit, in simm it's a lot of fun.

I myself am not a scalper, but so I can fully understand your post. You are saying that since none of the well known traders are scalpers, and since there is no known information anywhere here on ET or that I am providing that scalping cannot be successfully archived?

thank you..
