17 years intraday eminis only. es ym weaker markets as far as promise and deliver. never attempt to guess day . only next move. markets moves in legs. time based charts are okay but not best. range chart paints color, color is price. price is money...markets move up down sideways……..can do all of them in one day's session. make it in the morning lose it in the afternoon.
Yes range bars (not Renko Bars) display a more "telling" candle based on current condition rather than the "can of time". You have sold me on that! I am using them now. TY My entire training and learning is by practicing and trying to find stuff that fits me. You cannot put the market in a can or ElectricSavant in the corner ES P. S. By the time I am done I will be the best at losing money in ET. P.S.S. Waiting for a set up takes longer but the winrate drastically has improved based on my manual trading.
Good Question.... When I day traded Es/Ym exclusively.. the one day I would stay away from, after reviewing my back performance , was to avoid Monday mornings if not all of Monday.. as Monday were my worst performing days. Tuesday, Weds, Thurs were the best set up days where I`d go big.. Fridays.. I would trade the typical 10am - 10:30am morning set up.. & then call it a wrap & head to the Shore. Mondays were my less consistent days due to lack of rythem from the weekend .. had no momentum or follow thru to utilize, where as mid week was supreme. I would typically win 16-17 out of a 20 day trading month... where as my 4 loss days/ Break even days were Mondays.
I consider heat maps data...statistical data yes. But it would be unique to the system traded, so no it would not apply to me. You can include selective days not just Fridays es
Do you think your system has a bias? If so map your trades..you might be surprised at what you find...especially if you automate. es
