So what you basically say is: I tried everything and nothing works I am the smartest man on earth so nobody can what I cannot How do you know that you tried everything? You just tried everything you know, but that is not at all "everything". It is limited to your personal knowledge. How do you know that nobody is smarter than you?
today was actually not a bad day to trade I do not think so..in relation to profitable trading..I think consistency should be associated with strategy..and discipline associated with emotions..after risk management they are the 2 things that will either make..or break..a trader
to answer your question..no..as not trading ES at the moment..but will be starting shortly with micro contract..which I believe will be MES key point is not just one point imo..for instance..the strategy has to work..meaning..it has to provide numerous low risk entries over a set period of time..then..you have to have the discipline to keep doing the same thing.. otherwise you are not allowing your strategy to work..as it is a numbers game it requires a certain amount of trades in order to work..which is the maths bit..if the outcome is not positive..the R/R ratio..then the strategy needs to be adjusted..or the discipline (emotions) fixed..or maybe both..but without feedback from actual live trading the R.R ratio will never be any good sim trading lacks the emotional part which really is a big part..in fact..it can be the biggest obstacle to profitable trading!
I think you jumped a couple keywords in my response like “From my” and “I’d estimate”. Nowhere did I claim what you’re assuming here. We can all jump to conclusions though, as traders can at times be egotistical maniacs.
Cute. I am however better trying to understand this statement. You're not the first one to say this. What makes ES different than other instruments? I haven't day traded or studied other markets for day trading purposes except for crude oil for a few months time, but I found that instrument much less predictable, wild and with poor fills (and also the risk of not getting filled at all). ES (and I'm sure the other index futures also) trades and behaves orderly and technically. It can however become challenging when the volatility disappears as can happen from time to time.
Depends how you measure: The horizontal line is no problem, but the vertical line is. If the vertical line is standing on the horizontal one, they are both equal. But if the lowest point from the vertical is behind, or in front of the horizontal line, then the vertical is longer. Difference in lenght is than the thickness of the horizontal line.
