Let TraderEX answer. It seems he is not always on ET...HE IS PROBABLY BUSY TRADING LIKE YOU SHOULD BE... es
Well, maybe, maybe not. If someone makes money they make money. I'm not judging. With the ES though, a tick target puts you at a big disadvantage, especially buying market, you start off -12.50 plus commission, and you have to pass through two ticks just to make 12.50 minus commission. You'd need one hell of a win rate, like 95%.
Still hogwash. That's not "60 tics of success"... that's "1 tic win x 60 contracts"... big diff. And who in his right mind is going to risk a 60 lot for 1 tic? Even if you nail it perfectly one time, commissions take 1/3 of the gain. Who is naive enough to play that game? And "nets" doesn't mean "got lucky one time"... it means it's a "method" with continued success....
