i am not making a living, i am gambling:can you make living with lunch money? so why bother trading like a pro
Fund seeders and places like the collective are great for undercapitalized traders with a profitable track record.
I consider myself a day trader, but a day for me is 24 hours, so I am not necessarily exiting at the close of the "pit" session. I hold for target or stop loss, and I let the market take as long as it takes to get to one of those prices. I would suggest, for a day trader, no interval of less duration than a 5 minute chart. I live on the 60 minute chart, I keep a 15 minute chart open, and on rare occasion drill down to a 5 minute or some increment of a tick chart. I never liked referring to these as different "time frames," though, of course, a 60 minute chart with 80 bars will cover a much larger time frame than a 5 minute chart of 80 bars. That is very good. I understand what you are saying. I do not think of what I do in those terms, but I do enter where the necessary stop loss is small relative to the projected profit target.
