Taking the scenic route to the 2650 magnetized target here... nothing done here as I`m usually in observation mode Monday mornings... waiting for PA to establish it`s rhythm...
Working off the original swing globex pullback 495 to 569.50 the higher targets for the day are 2598, 2615, 2641 ... can fizzle anywhere it wants and base.
There's nothing wrong with flipping - assuming you're actually selling highs and buying lows. Done properly - it's in theory the most profitable way of trading. Today is not a flipper's market though. Use every pullback to get long instead. It's very, very unlikely that we don't take out Friday's High from here.
Two way scalping is a difficult game but I've known a few who were good at it. It's not possible to assess someone's success without intimate knowledge of that persons trade plan and without seeing P&L.
It may take a little here at 2600 however to breakout. Short term charts say a little pullback is needed. Get ready to get long again on 1 minute charts. We will break out.
Probably trained and tried to help learn to trade at least 200 guys . I've seen at least 30 guys trade futures like that and not a one made money over time.Sure during crazy times like now that would but eventually the chop would get them . Think about flipping 5 es back and forth all day. Throw in slippage, and wrong trades . Throw in $300 to $500 a day of commissions . Hell i've tried it a few times . Just my observation . But maybe flip's a unicorn . lol
