nothing is guaranteed, other than this statisical reality: counter-trend fading using mile-wide stops to book +1pt ES is a 100% guaranteed failure over time. Inevitable that eventually a straight-trend smash will result in huge, unrecoverable loss. Attempts at +4 tick CL "scalping" profit approach is not only ridiculous, it is outright dangerous to anyone else who even thinks for a moment it has long-term profitable potential with real money involved. Just try that one time in a big-trend CL session that rallies or plunges 400 cents past the entry with zero +4 tick retrace. Few things in life or trading are certain. But those ludicrous upside-down skews for profit/loss are an absolute universal law of failure. Only shame of it being that some otherwise unknowing people will think some sort of merit exists there.
Finally a scalping journal! Great to see someone brave enough to undertake this challenge. If a post gets through with a substantial delay after the trade, can you please mention it in the future?
Thanks. But note that I ain't really a scalper and that this is NOT a permanent journal that I plan to keep updating. As noted above, I'm merely posting for testing purposes. However, if you're interested in adding value to the journal, be my guest. Whenever I run into the 60-second limitation, I usually post the exit just below the entry, which indicates that the trade was closed out within 60-seconds.
