Only made 10 pts on YM today and it took a couple of scalps to get there. I didn't take a few of my signals today which would have netted over 60 YM pts.

if we can fade a little more going into 3:30 i'd be tempted by a sub-9500 YM.

You guys are really good traders to have the patience to sit with the trade for as long as you all do. I wish I could do the same. Any tips for someone like me who's in and out in less than a minute?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

take smaller positions.

 

You're handicapped by your schedule. If I remember correctly you only have a half hour two times a day in which you can trade. In a situation like that I don't know that I could trade at all. On the other hand, if you set exit criteria, maybe using that stop loss and stop/profit (whatever they're called) you told me about, which you can set when you enter the trades, maybe you can do it better. Have you tried that?

 

I had someone visiting so I closed out rather quickly, could have made more. Ym is different to ES, not as neurotic so it seems easier to hang in.

I'm not sure it's possible to make money consistantly jumping in and out every minute.
