By the way, as long as we're on the subject of other instruments, I should point out to those who are new to this that any auction market will be governed by the balance between demand and supply. However . . . If the market is not mean-reverting, the moves will likely be so erratic and unpredictable that the chart will wind up looking like Pik-Up-Stix. This can be ameliorated in part by changing to a larger bar interval. A much larger bar interval. But one may find it far easier just to switch to a mean-reverting market, preferably not the ES. God knows there are plenty of them. Otherwise, he'll have to rely on Auction Market Theory, and while trading via AMT alone is certainly possible, it is extremely challenging.
Seems the subject of "winrate" is in the air once again, which generally coincides with a dawning wonderment that perhaps one could do better if one had a trading plan. I don't bother calculating this any more. What's the point? But the subject of winrate has come up with regard to the SLA before and continues to this very day. So, just for the hell of it, and because I'm done in the garden for today (giving instructions to my staff of gardeners, arborists, etc), I looked again at the chart I posted yesterday and calculated the winrate (73%) and the P:L (6.3:1) with a moderately-fearful trader in mind, at least one who'd done the MAE/MFE work. Those who are bored with crossword puzzles may want to play with it and see what sort of results you get according to your own tactical sets.
Here's another, also turned out to be a trend day. Winrate: 100% P:L: can't be calculated as there are no losses. This one includes a 5pt target for multiple contracts.
If you say it will, then it will. Seriously, though, as the ES got well past its halfway level, it may drag the NQ up if they couple. If they decouple, who knows. However, as the ES represents 500 stocks and the NQ only 100, the ES carries more weight. Ultimately, it depends largely on how the most heavily-weighted stocks are traded at the open tomorrow.
