Did you read my whole thread man? Those 2 trades I showed to @Overnight took place in another separate account which I mentioned SWING ACCOUNT. I shouldn't show trades in a different account to confuse anybody, but I wanted to chill out the old man lol.... Who would want to scalp US Futures during Asia session??? The spread is too big due to lack of liquidity at night time. That said, I only trade scalping or conservative account during US session.
Btw, I mentioned on ET before that I'm currently registering an LLC and put part of my profits into it so I can scalp all in and all out (i.e. no day/swing trades) with this account. I plan to either go home big within a year or two or none with this account. THIS WILL BE MY 3RD ACCOUNT. Going forward, I'll only disclose blotters for account #1 and account #3 since this journal is all about scalping.
Against HFT??? If you follow my posts for past few weeks or analyze my blotter carefully, you'd be able to tell that I follow HFTs all the time. That's one of my secret sauces lol....
I don't scalp dozens to hundred of trades a day like what most would think. On average, I scalped 3 to 5 trades per day. If you went through my blotter carefully, you'd have seen that I didn't trade this account from the period of November 2nd to November 5th.
Your first screenshot shows 50 trades in one month. Thats about 2 trades per day, on average. Not really what one would call scalping. But it does not matter, thats just semantics. What matters is that you make good money.
No it means we all have a good day or two making 1.5% or whatever was claimed (seriously...who gets excited over that). Do it for a year before we should feel that tingle below the waist.
Part of my success comes from reading books like his many years ago. It helped me to think in term of probabilities which lead to a positive outcome presently
