anyone trade eminis (YM,ES,NQ) off of a :15,:30 minute chart---solely??...are for your major confirmations of entrance and exits etc...

 

solely, certainly not. A majority of the time yes.

Why do you ask?

 

Have you considered Volume or Share based candle charts instead of time based charts?

 

no...I do not have that platform and cannot change...how can I incorporate volume in to my trading of the YM...I.E. volume gets to certain levels etc.

 

It seems to give a more accurate picture where it is headed...escpecially using candlestick charts

 

I agree 100%. It's certainly not for people who like to trade more than 1-2 times a day though. I personally only trade 5-8 times per week but flat at the end of every day.

 

do you trade the YM or ES or NQ?

 

I have a 30 min chart next to a 4 hour chart in the same screen per contract and use the direction of the 30 min to determine which direction to lean on in the 4 hour charts.

 

awesome to hear...so, obviously you look for 1-2 charts per day or per every 1-2 days...correct?

 

ooops 1-2 traders per day...sorry (not charts)
