Yes. Not betting the farm. Only one contract. EDIT: And low ticked for a 5 point loss. May re-enter. Not sure.
Not sure how recent this is (recent to me at least) but Trump has “paused” tariffs on Mexico for 1 month. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-discuss-tariffs-canadian-mexican-111056724.html Maybe helping with this strong bounce up?
It's certainly a problem. If you happen to catch the big move, great. If not, you're very likely to be chopped to death. That said, this may be heaven for those scalping for a few points without a stop, enter randomly with a 5 point target, caching, caching... until the big move catches them, of course
Yes. That's the problem. Good scalping market. It's not an environment I thrive in. I prefer medium paced volatility with directional moves. Volatile chop is not my cup of tea.
I consider myself a scalper but this is tough. Maybe good scalping for one of those traders who can read off the DOM like my hero Navinder Sarao. But this is very sketchy and tough. I hit my PDPT by being short the NQ and literally a few seconds after my profit target filled NQ went ripping long. I feel it might be a good time to start looking at commodity futures like CL and GC instead of index futures for a spell? I feel a touch lost to be honest. I haven't traded since my NQ's closed on their own this morning.
