Winning, Losing & BetSize trading the ES

Discussion in 'Index Futures' started by ElectricSavant, Jul 30, 2018.

  1. Just want to give OP a hint on how to improve your scalping system with better winning rates. Always go after 2nd leg, not the first leg because you don't want to front run big boys. You will understand what I mean someday after you stare @ES charts long enough. Below is the screenshot of my trades since last night until now.

    Thanks it's a negative 295... That's still good.... You can only push hard when it's moving... Wave after wave of fast action, taking it up or down..

    Feb-Mar 2018 huge momentum... Lots of downside... Shorts seem faster.. Easier for the bids to simply leave the table...

    140+ RT's 3-6 lots... was a max day... Usual day will have about 20 RT'S

    Wilder's ADX and DMI go back to the early 70s, are justifiably popular, and tradovate has 'em.
    "Just look under indicators, it is just in the main list, 6 from the bottom..." from Andrew S. -- it's listed as Average Directional Indicator, and you may then find a separate listing for Directional Movement Indicator+ and Directional Movement Indicator-. It's there. These are standards.
