  2. Hello Handle123,

    Congratulations to you on the success of your 2 automation scalping systems. I have tried for nearly 2 years to build a scalping systems on the ES, and it is very tuff. So congrats to you, I know the hard work it takes.

    The hardest part is not having enough r/r trades and then running into situations where you give it all back and start trading emotionally and eventually blow up your account.

    It's very hard to manage your emotions and be consistent doing 100+ trades a day that leads to mental exhaustion.

    I prefer holding your winners strategy.

    Your recent posts were about long-term trading / swing trading / position trading.

    So I presume you are not a scalper even though you have the new systems.

    As a scalper for years to over a decade now, I'm at all point where I trade like a machine whenever an opportunity presents. However, to survive as a scalper there are many things you've to watch out for. One of the examples is that I'd stop scalping as soon as volume dries up because I'd give back more than gaining.

    Once you know well about intraday PA + years of scalping experience, you'll be able to generate high win rates from there.
