    do you guys try to squeeze out of the contract...

    been trading and paper trading a bit and I notice a true range of about 10 points..

    on occasion 20 MAX....

    looks like 7 is a good lock in point..

    SSSOOOOOO...

    how many points do you trade for?

    TIA:)
     
  2. 10 Pts? What time fame do you speak of?

    8-10 pt ATR on a 250 vol or 144 tick

    10-14 pt on a 233 tick or 500 vol

    12-15 pt on a 2 min chart

    ssssooooo......

    i have a 10 point sl for a single contract..

    i trade off the 250 or 500 vol chart.. use the others for pattern/indicator confirmation...

    anything beyond 10 pts would dictate a chart larger than 250/144


    understand im familar w/ ATR/SD 1,2,3 +/mean reversion/linear regression..

    thx
