You might be if you trading like this . It makes no sense to do what you are doing. Ask yourself a question : " how does it work for me ? " And if answer is negative, change your method . Walter
traderkay, I am amazed (to say the least) that after nearly 2 and 1/2 years on this forum that you are still attempting to trade the ES in this manner. Well, that's your choice. As for your dilemma, there's no escaping the math of it, giving up half your expected gain on the spread is one TOUGH way to make, especially when you're essentially trading noise; although there's a bevy of marketing firms (and fellow ES dreamers) that do their level best to convince you that you're not.
Thank you for all the comments, they were rather constructive. I am already working on considering the options suggested.
