Bot 5 Es @ 1008

Looking for another 5 @ limit 1003

 

Is there a way to calculate the stop value on ES depending upon the volatility index. 2 points used to be a good stop value for ES, but recently it is getting hit within couple of minutes of the trade.

I generally trade 5min, 10min charts.

Thanks for any reply.

 

Sell 5 @ 1007

The bear mkt loves to draw in the bulls then massive selloff into the close.

 

the future for the sp 500 played out by a few months ahead in the xlf...

a chart analog that is predictive.

 

You may use ATR function, or just cut your leverage in half and double your stop size or something like that.
