OP probably back in due time to shoot this down as pseudoscience. Round and round we go.
Yes I trade ES, and tend to think in Ticks (not %). My "average" stop over the last 1000+ trades has been 12 ticks per trade. In my trading...
You have 350+ posts the last several days expressing or defending your views on this topic. To me, I think you shared a lot of great points worth...
It’s clear Amahrix has his mind absolutely set on the matter - If you’re a traditional day trader using technical analysis (not sure what else a...
Agree with R Morse, this is an individual thing based on trader. I don't have a daily risk rule. I just take every valid trade, no matter how...
The anti-day trading threads pop up every so often. The last one I recall was the “is trading itself a bad trade?” Which reached a similar number...
The critical thing (for me) is starting with an account size to where I don't have to worry about one of my inevitable losing streaks blowing me...
This is hard. After reading this thread, I tried doing the front hold (standard olympic barbell held in outstretched hands) a couple days ago....
10,000,000? IF the single signal occurred 1,000 times per year in my timeframes, that would be 10,000 years. The ES contract doesn't go back that...
I day trade. Have several different signals I’m looking for. Any one of them will get me into a trade. Looking now at my records for the last...
I traded 935-1330 EST. On Fed days I log off at 1330. Only one valid signal today (per my plan), which triggered around 1030 EST and eventually...
I've never used tradingview. Not sure how that works.
Day trading Equity Index futures. Use several time frames and a few MA lines. Entries are 85% trend pullbacks, 15% reversals. Average 5...
Hear ya, guy. When you phrase it that way, I'm inclined to agree that I'm absolutely wrong in my statement, and haven't thought it through. I...
Hey BWS, not looking to defend my opinion on the matter. Was just providing the OP a solicited opinion on his proposed strategy. I don't consider...
To me, the biggest difference is one of effort. If I bought once and a year later ended up break-even or down a bit, I could stomach it. But if I...
Trading your strategy without deviation, if one of your stocks drops a $1.00 in a slow, steady fashion (with no +.10 moves along the way), your...
Depends on the traders plan / comfort level. How many contracts will they leverage with their 25K (personal choice), and then the average ticks...
Would be more interested to see a study on experienced traders meeting specific criteria (lets say 4+ years of active trading, adequate trading...
Switch by Chip/Dan Heath. Read it several years ago. [MEDIA] But here I am several years later with plenty of bad habits to fight. YMMV
