what is your result so far for 2018?

birdman: I don't set profit targets, only stops. My exits are all end-of-day.

Thanks for sharing lindq,

Just to make sure I understand you correctly, your strategy (in simple terms) is: Before the market opens daily: decide if long or short, enter trade, set stop loss, exit trade at end of day.

Am I correct for the most part?

Correct. That's what works for me. The decision as to whether to take a position at all, or whether long or short, is not mine to make. It is based on historical probabilities and current levels of volatility.

Thanks lindq,

I like it and I respect your way of trading. Nice work and simple

Volatility. I don't want to make a bet on something that isn't likely to move. Better to be in cash.

Ditto with me using volatility.
