    Nice looking largemouth bass in your handle here. Caught in Florida? Not near suntrader in Boca Raton is it?

    He (the OP) could trade the micro 2x2x2 or any other scheme.

    Markets go...BO...channel...range....BO...channel..range.

    Trader must have:
    1) strategies and tactics for each phase.
    2) trader must learn to “see” these phases
    3) trader must be nimble to adapt to phases
    4) there will be PB’s, wedges, triangles, micro channels and other patterns in the channel and range phases.

    Bo’s can be in the form of spike...or very tight steep channel. On a larger TF, a tight steep channel on a smaller TF, is a spike BO.

    Channels can be tight or broad. Trade them differently.

    Ranges have to have enough movement for at least a scalp. Broad ranges can have two legged or more movements.

    90% of time markets are in ranges and channels. Every bar has volume so institutions are trading it. You can enter on most any bar, in any channel or range, and make money if you can manage the trade.

    Small range days are brutal....the Emini's act like a caged animal in that tight range....so choppiness is incredible.
    That killed me today. I did stop trading against the trend for the most part...but that didn't help me today.

    Blow by blow with all of the top/bottom ticks that stole my profits....LOL !!
    Note how the winning trades were so tiny profit-wise....that's because there were no easy trends today, just a lot of chop.

  10. E mini Vinny or Trade with Vinny

    This original thread asked about NQ and ES trading - could I ask:
    Emini Vinny or Trade with Vinny trades both indices, claims to trade real money and claims to make many thousands a day. Also bites peoples heads off. Any experience with this trade room?
