    Good price and volume analysis but trading the mini's with this style will not work as much as you think stand alone.

    Congratulations though !
     
  7. very simplified system see picture

    simple but it works

    find any indices chart the dow nasdaq sp500

    use any chart with stochastic set stochastic to 10 15 20 minutes.

    most days wont have more than 3 or 4 hills or valleys. pick the tops and bottoms

    I would not have made your short trade.

    first one was a good trade to me, I would have gotten in a little later, made less money.

    second one is gambling to me. I don't see the setup, don't know what you are looking at to get into the trade, don't know the rules, etc. so you'll have to take that into consideration.
