Just a fact of the markets to save anyone time in having to risk money to find out for themselves: Taking small, "fast" trades will require you to be 70% accurate long-term with a 1:1 reward to risk ratio. If you widen your stop up to 2x the target, ...

RoFoF, It is the nature of the market you are trading (Forex), not technique. When you look at the majority of charts posted here, many are taking 1-2.5 hours for a trade to complete with a sufficient reward to the risk willing to be taken. If you ...

There is one mathematical fact which I cannot escape if I decide to enter a trade with my largest size and then lighten my position as the trade goes my way: I will have to be right more often to adjust for the largest losers (and I'm always holding ...

Turnip, It is easier on the nerves to get your profit goals achieved on just one leg of a trend move. That's why, even in the futures market, I won't trade the ES when the volatility index (VIX) is below 17. The Nikkei futures is another one, not ...

Rather than trailing stop (initially), consider looking at each trade from the real-time risk / reward you're taking. Keep track of the max distance a live trade has gone against you. That's your real-time 1x risk. You can expect to get 1.5x to 2.0x ...

Everything is a guess because we don't know the future, but a tendency I see in strong trends is that if you get 3 opposing bars in a row against the trend (for example, 3 consecutive red bars in an uptrend), may even be 4, but with much smaller ...

Be as skeptical as you like. We're all strangers here and that is, in general, a healthy assumption. Your experience and yours alone through many many years of trading will lead you to the statistical trading truths I roughed out. Actually, I am a ...

I challenge you to fail with this

Never ever beat yourself up for being no better than 50% right. Make an average of 1.5x more than you lose at that level and you are A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL TRADER! You need hundreds of trades to find out what ballpark (area) your long-term winning pct ...

Any trading system which has a 90% long-term win rate has SERIOUS draw-downs with the other 10% where one loses. You can readily see this from all of those ZuluTrade dot com systems which go "POOF!" given enough time, reporting 90%+ winners. Even ...

SAFE - KISS

If the definition of extreme scalping is to risk more money than you stand to gain (aka upside-down risk), then it doesn't work in the long-term for the avg human being which, I assume, most of us are. Get to a winning pct of 50% and make ...

1 min scalping works far better on the U.S. e-mini futures market because there's more consistent intraday volatility. The method presented in this thread won't work long-term. Price could be anywhere in relation to a pair of crossing moving ...

1 minute Scalping

CrocodileRex, A line drawn anywhere on a chart isn't going to have much hope of being any better than 55% winners. You cannot trade a 1:1 risk/reward ratio with those kinds of winning pcts. IF you have a winning trading system here then you need to ...
