Pretty funny....

i don't see why trading the 5 min bar is any more difficult than other timeframes. I trade 1min, 5min and other timeframes

 

Well, I'm new to this ---- first month of trading futures intraday
1 contract
simple setups

I was successful in January - +$3700 on a $10K trading account

any suggestions you have would be most appreciated

 

It is a matter of knowledge & experience. You may or may not have noticed that a 5min bar can be way way too late (& so also a 1min bar can be too late) to catch a reversal accurately assuming you even want to daytrade accurately and utilize the huge amount of points available on a daily basis (eg YM, CL).

 

Take $1,200 and use it to pay off bill or whatever it might be.

 

I think Im going to spend it at scores
easy come
easy go

 

can't learn it all in one day
its an iterative process
thanks for the feedback
