Try to learn/design the most basic of trading system/strategies. Here is a great place to start in My opinion: 1) Pick 75 stocks, and have that...
This is exactly why I don't understand "ES only traders" or "CL only traders" I too trade about 10 different futures markets and only trade them...
Let me ask you a question if you don't mind. Let's say my entrance into SHORT GC at 1204 resulted in 2018's MFE of let's say 40 Points. But...
ES... you just assigned me about 200 Hours of work :)
It just seems like there are so many variables to determining that optimum outcome. Volatility, trend months vs, etc. GC I was short this week...
