I trade mostly the ER2 and the EUR (EC) and using very short time frames for charts (1 and 3 minutes). I want to trade only 1 contract for each instrument as I KNOW I haven't been very disciplined lately. I was wondering if anyone can share what's a realistic number of points/ticks per trade on these instruments, again, taking into consideration my very short time frames. I have in mind 10 ticks for the EUR ($125) and 20 ticks ($200) for the ER2. Thanks.
well depends on size I don't trade for such short term, I trade for 30-40 ticks etc depends on strategy edge etc in fact me telling you what I do means nothing you would need 50 people say their thing and you need to calculate average etc etc
