So I was looking at charts from 2017 where ES 12pt days were typical, with that sluggishness, trends were better for the patient traders, reasonable stops were manageable. NQ had more similar swings to current PA on volatile days. Now both ES & NQ have swings far more similar to CL before covid days. CL was an unforgiving harsh mistress, but she prepared me well for this. For those of you having trouble with this volatility I would recommend you have a look at trading the large cap stocks. easier read on support and resistance, cleaner retraces, less fake spikes being randomly thrown out. Use futures PA for confirmation. Dont waste years trying to tame these volatile beasts, tame your ego first, I speak from experence. GLTA
Got in the first of my rounds and decided I was too beat to stick around for the second lol ... I've kept up with my running but I'm a walking golfer and I carry my own bag. Eight weeks away from the course have taken their toll on my conditioning. Seaweed will be around any second to rell me what a $hitty trader I am.
