    Today's market is not easy to trade because of those 'mini' big boys.
    That's why day traders have multiple screens.
    I have one 42" & five 32" screens all portrait format.

    Look out for intermarket correlations.
    Pick & choose futures that move smoothly (eg OMXS30 for today).
    A lot of effort/concentration is needed to look at multiple charts.

    By the time one finds futures which moves smoothly the move is already over.

    right.
    That's why I said A lot of effort/concentration is needed to look at multiple charts.
    even a second delay could be deadly.

    Maxi I find it hard to believe you don't invest. The only stragety back tested for 100+years with 0% loss is investing.

    I have traded almost everything under the sun and moon

    investing/day-trading/swing-trading stocks (US, HK, Japan, Singapore),
    credit/debit/vertical/horizontal/diagonal options on futures, stocks
    futures (index, hard commodities, soft commodities, currencies, bonds)
    forex
    outright trading
    spread trading (calendar, intermarket)
    swing trading, day trading

    from various Exchanges in the world
    (exclude BBB, Russia)

    Haven't traded:
    HFT

    I have eliminated most of the above and left behind
    day trading futures.
    Obviously those that I have eliminated were those which I was not good at.

  7. what your trade base on? Price action? Do you somewhat able to automate your strategy.

    I showed some charts with up/down arrows in this thread.
    And that is how I trade.
    I guess you can call that price action.

    I doubt it can be automated because the market moves in various
    formfitfunction/shape/pattern/characteristics/personality.

    It is time to adjust the chart volume to a even smaller number
    (equivalent to shorter time duration).

    The market moves even with a small amount of lots.

    max loss - it might have to be adjusted to 3X the normal size.

    9 Apr 2025 Asian session

    Hangseng, China A50, ES, copper, gold all up.
    Unfortunately the movement was rather jerky/chaotic
    ie difficult money to earn.

    Thailand SET50
    The Exchange opened later. The movement was great!
    ie easy free money from the sky


    India NIFTY50
    It should be moving very massively due to the coming
    tariff war on pharmaceutical products

    Taiwan Index
    It has been moving massively, and will continue to move massively due to
    those chips things

    Vietnam index?
    It should be moving very massively.
    Time to explore Vietnam index further.
