YM Traders

  1. Points are points porgie.. The method really doesn't matter. The method is whatever that is appropriate for the trader's personality for them to maximize their profit potential.

    Plus, a weekly profit target tends to even out those little bumps in holding time.

    so the consensus is 100-200 pts per contract per week for most traders?

  2. Well.. my weekly target for YM (we're shooting for the VERY best outcome) is +500 pts per contract. That is my max goal and will make me a REALLY happy person if I can do that during any week.

    But +200 per week is my projection for the future weeks.

  5. Dang.. just when I think I got it.. I give it all back. I should quit talking about the pts I make and projecting them into the future etc...

    This time its all different

  6. Yeah.. As much as i LOST... a good two day sequence like that was bound to come around. Its all in the probabilities.

    Even a blind one-legged squirrell is bound to find an acorn once in a while

  7. Do what i did.... find a service that will keep you under control.... and prevent you from over trading. It will shed a whole new light on the mkts! it will fortify your discipline too!
