bmw, over the years my trading has evolved a bit. For quite a while i played it very tight ...scalping-like tight. Now that i'm confident i can be net positive almost every day i give it a little more wiggle room. As a result i don't get stopped as often and i capture bigger chunks rather than a point here or there. i don't trade huge size and i am content to "grind out" a modest pnl each and every day. if i find myself down 10-15 points one day no big deal, it's going to happen occasionally. i can make it up in a day or 2 and there's NO chance of me blowing out my acct. ps i wish you guys would make more comment here during the trading day for fun
kts, thanks for the insight. Looks like you are on a roll already today. I trade from work, so it is hard to chat much. Going to a bit longer timeframe I think will help me. Still honing my skills, getting ready for retirement in a couple of years.
Longer intraday. I was using a 1000 vol chart with a 30 sec for entries. Now using a 2000 vol for both.
