scalping not only needs a perfect market knowledge, it needs perfect entry and exit, perfect discipline, nerves of steel and emotions on ice. fail in one you fail. period, I had hell.
i will copy and paste my book here. it is of one line:" need to see only one thing: break[out] of high, test of low and a break of high again." try it sim and stick with till you learn all about it and become perfect. you still have to work but you have only one line to remember. keep record of your trades and we will discuss it on the weekends. but trade Emini holding a trade through the numerous reversal patterns is the tough bit
i think that one line is a miracle that turned my trading but overnight is a real millionaire.... not one of those bogus ET millionaires
swing or scalp " need to see only one thing: break[out] of high, test of low and a break of high again." but i am not saying it is easy because the mind sees a thousand bad thing that can happen. and the market keeps showing you reversals [which later turn into corrections] in order to scare you into exiting your position and reentering at a less advantageous price. like the USA PRESIDENT Roosevelt said a century or two ago: " how much they have cost us, those evils that never happened"
Is it harder turning a decent profit trading the ES after hours @padutrader @schizo ??? Padu has to trade after hours and via a Prop Firm. That's gotta make things harder?
