i stay logged in all day
every time i want to post i just pop in and post
its good to experience the poverty to appreciate what you have
on my bigger frames trading
where i feel comfortable
i trade little bigger
nothing crazy tho
i trade every time i see the opportunity
so i have no fixed daily goal in my head
scalping here i sticked with 1 or 2 lots
maybe once or twice i went with 4 (once by mistake )
@dc
10 lots is a HEALTHY amount
you plan to increase that over time or just stick with that size and go for more points?
i mean
if you even plan to go for more
@alias
$100+ per contract?
what do you mean?
per market you trade?
aliassmith wrote:Let's say you are trading 1 single contract. My goal would be $100+/day. Now whatever contract size I use I would multiply it by $100 to get my daily goal. So 20 contracts would be $2000/day.
It doesn't always work like that since I am a trade-aholic it can be double or triple that. Just like you see Lem getting 30+ ticks a day.
I am thinking about implementing an old idea of profit cushion. I was considering trading the FDAX smallish to build up a profit cushion. I would then trade 50% to 100% larger on the ES depending on the cushion size.

i used to trade the profit cushion also
its a great principle of pushing the winners
but its too frustrating for me when it goes wrong

i got myself NYMEX datafeed and traded Crude Oil whole day today
had so much fun
such a volatile market
perfect for small size scalping
much easier to read the order flow
i remember when i spoke with es/pip years ago in dms
he recommended CL for me
but i sticked with eurofx and es since it was working
i came around today
____
my three last trades of the day
EUROFX:
+36
ticksize is small since they intorduced the half ticks
+10
also got +20 in crude
but closed before i got the screenshot
VEEEERY SOLID day
traded for almost 13 hours
with a little nap somewhere in the middle
thanks to that CL time flew by!
i need to close the shop
see you tomorrow guys!
