    I have not tried it. I do not like to change things up when it comes to execution.

    who wants to bet that if YM rises from my cover point there will be a post in the morning about how I just happened to cover 5 points off of the low and it must have neen an after the fact trade.

  6. So on your chart, "1" is entry and "2" is exit? Do I read correctly that that was a 5 point scalp?

  7. guys, has my 10200 entry point been seen yet?

    understand now why I don't need a stop there? why use a stop at a turning point?

    just a thought

  9. Interesting. I've been playing around with a 5 point TP and a 10 point trailing SL at support/resistance/trendline. I seem to be batting around 70% in simulated trading.

    Trade durations are typically < 5 minutes, but with the ATR on 5 minute bars running around 10-15 points, it's no surprise.

    hmmm, so you are making $1750 from 70 trades and losing $1500 from 30 trades out of 100, with a profit of $250 total? Any idea how your commissions are going to effect this?
