It easily done. It's ridiculous that the ELITE GURU class refuses to participate. Funnier still are the excuses! surf
Two losses yesterday, .09 and .03. Both were reverses at inflection points. Both longs were reversed at the stop prices. Those two reverses were nice winners. 2/4 on those trades, only 50% win rate, but the winners far outstripped the losers. 12:30 and 2:35 were the longs, reverses came shortly after the 12:30 and about 20 mins after the 2:35 entry
Except when challenged, of course! Man, this hindsight stuff is too much, get on the combine and prove your claims. surf
To give you a few more details, I look at multiple time frames. The larger frame is the one that provides the signal, the faster one(s) is/are used for entries. I've been trading since '98 and in that time I have worked on and developed a method to catch pivotal moments in the trading day, either through a directional play or from a reverse after being stopped out for a (usually) small loss. Essentially looking for when the mkt has people learning one way, then propels the other way. The short/long covering of that move, coupled with the buying/selling of others on top of that, usually leads to large moves (when volatility isn't flat-lining). I don't mess with the wicks up or down or a lot of the noise that transpires. I only trade when I have alignment of the factors that generate a trade via my system. I usually also trade the ES when volatility starts to expand. I like the SPY overall because tick size is more favorable when ranges and volatility are small/low.
