So, it appears that your "edge" is your reliance on Candle Stick patterns on a 15 min chart. OK and your Stop and Profit Target on the trade is ?
no fixed profit target untill the market forces me to reverse ... stop at high/low of the latest setup
and not only 15M setups, but also 30M and even hourly setups or if that happens to be the case 2H setups ...
Discretionary Stops and targets. OK Then you are not applying what you studied in Trading in the Zone. No problem -- I am just trying to understand your need for Discipline -- And perhaps I am interfering with your live trading. Good Luck and stay Profitable...
You are trading one of the absolute most liquid thoroughy analyzed to pieces instruments in the world. It always amazes me that want to be traders do not understand that if you want to find small cracks of inefficiency you have to look at instruments, time, and strategies that do not attract much attention.
Agree. Further, Emini ES futures is not a suitable trading instrument for beginner traders nor for traders with discipline trading problems. A few other things too that I don't have time to mention considering it's probably the most marketed trading instrument for brokers to use to attract clients, especially with the low margins/leverages. wrbtrader
I'm surprised you got a like for that post. Sounds like you're knocking on the OP. Am I reading you right?
