ES:
Put up a 1-minute ATR with a 6-minute SMA, and do not trade if the 6SMA is 0.50 or below.
(For most of today, it ranged between 0.60 and 0.80: *premium*!)
Seek just 1 tick, you've got 50¢ to play with.
If you take 10 trades an hour, for 1 minute each, that's good for $85/hr.
For a 6.5 hour RTH day, that's good coin. Take out 90minutes for lunch (always nuts) and
30 minutes before the close (too scary to hold overnight) and 30 for The Idiot (Half-)Hour at the open, and you've got a 4-hour work day, and $340 tick-scalping 1-lots, US$1700/week, $85k/year with two weeks off per annum. Yo.
