posting a real trade is not in my interest. it hurts my performance. distracts my thinking. particualrly my ego. that trade with 1.5k loss is a good trade. though it is a loss. normally after 9:00am, I trade 6lots to 10lots, extreme to 20lots (casually). stop loss maximum is 50 ticks,90% time with 30 ticks. actually I donot care about 30ticks or less move. if I caught a 20ticks profit, it is a shame to me, I thought it is a failed trade. a kind reminder: this thread is about the easiest trade, please post related constructive blotter. trading is not difficult if you think so. trading is tough if you think so. all in your mind. if you think anything is possible, then anything is possible. if you think something is impossible, then something is impossible.
What does your average R:R look like when you set and forget? What markets do you like to trade? My easiest trade is the first one of the day without the psychological noise from previous trades' wins, losses or direction. I don't set and forget I manage it as it unfolds. I only move stops closer to price as price moves in my favor. I like betting/ adding with 3 - 2 - 1 when it moves in my favor so my average cost is closer to entry. I'll exit immediately with a limit if I get a "windfall" spike that far surpasses my expected R:R .
I gradually phase out of day trading since my account is growing to a point I do not need pay nerve neck attention to little noise move. I found whenmyaccount become bigger, the easier Ican trade. normally myR/R is at least 1:2 for day trading, for overnight/swing, at least 1:3. crude day trade risk maximum 50ticks, target 100tick + overnight 100ticks target 300tick + index NQ daytrading maximum 10points, target 25points + overnight/swing 20points,target 50points +
