7 Momentous Inventions Discovered by Accident https://www.history.com/news/accidental-inventions My point is... be open-minded in life.
I know, I know, but think from the OP's point of view. The poor dude EXPLICITLY STATED that you stay on topic (see below), and what does everyone do? They all go off tangent and say things totally unrelated to what he asked for. So my point is this, tiddy man: Try to stay on topic, or go sniff some ADHD med.
Are you talking about scalping or day trading during the morning session? Some call scalpers as day traders and vice versa. scalper - trades about a hundred or more round trades per session (see @MarkBrown message). He could be a DOM trader or an HFT trader. Because of the very high commission cost, he typically is an Exchange Member day trader - trades about 5 to 10 round trades per session They use very different tools/strategies. So if you are not clear about your intent, you are going to get strange/odd/funny responses as mentioned in your posting #1.
this is basically what i mean. you ask a question( im new so obviously my questions will not be precise) if i know how to ask a question correctly then i probably already know the answer... but yea this is a perfect example of what im talking about absolutely random rambling about unrelated topics that are not even helpful. maybe if you are attempting to help. try to understand what exactly is being asked or try to correct the question if you know that it wasnt worded properly instead of suggesting something that wasnt even asked in the first place.
im talking about scalping as in one second one minute time frame. very fast. i seem to do better in these timeframes than slower ones because im add and lose track of the trend way before it has a chance to form. scalping is fast enough for me to wait for it to play out
You're such a dumbfuck, and need to be banned from this message board, because everything you say is a lie. I have given my exact strategy in my journal. It is just that you are too fucking stupid to see what I have written. Years of guidance and wisdom is denied by you because you, a dumbfuck trader, think that the only measure of success is making a million dollars in a year or less. You are hopeless.
To my knowledge, there is no one particular forum dedicated solely for scalping. Your best bet is to look for chatrooms on Discord or Telegram (I think they call it servers and channels, respectively). I personally don't use either of these services, but they seem to have wide appeal, especially among younger crowd. That said, whether you're scalping or day trading, it all comes down to your modus operandi. You stick to a profitable strategy, whatever that may be, and milk it again and again until the last drop. However, I highly doubt you'll find such a strategy just by associating yourself with other scalpers. So instead of trying to find it "out there", go back to the drawing board and start from scratch. For example, price action and foot print analysis would be a good start. That would be my advice.
2 decades ago, Scalping used to be very profitable. They used DOMs (without a chart) for trading. Most of my scalping friends gave up scalping because of the high frequency / algo traders. I day trade futures full-time. As mentioned, the info you have provided so far is rather lacking. I don't know whether you are using DOM or high-frequency machine trading for scalping. In this forum, I see that there are some machine / algo programmers/traders. Anyway, All the best to your scalping.
