ULTF Trading is a trading style where the execution chart is a sub-minute timeframe (<1 minute). Higher timeframes (1 minute and above) may be used only for context, directional bias, key levels, market structure, and other higher-level analysis.
If this is your style, or if it's something you'd like to try, welcome to the thread!
Rules:
- Strict "No Asshole" Policy: Hate speech, personal attacks, disrespectful language, condescension, emotional outbursts directed at other members, or any other form of toxic conduct will not be tolerated.
- Keep It Constructive: Constructive criticism, feedback, and debating and challenging each other's ideas, concepts, and setups are welcomed and encouraged, as long as the first rule is respected.
- No Showing Off / Ego Posting: We are here to learn together, not to flex or impress each other. Do not post only winning trades; share your losses as well - those are often golden.
- R-Multiples Only (No Dollar Amounts): In line with the previous rule, performance should only be expressed in R (risk per trade), not in monetary values ($/€/£).
- Chart Posting Criteria: Posting charts and trading session reviews is reserved for members who have at least a somewhat defined trading strategy. Absolute beginners and traders who are still developing a strategy are more than welcome to ask questions and seek guidance instead.
- Stay On Topic: Please keep discussions relevant to ULTF trading.
- No Soliciting, Recruiting, or Self-Promotion
The OP reserves the right, at their sole discretion and without prior warning, to permanently block anyone who violates these rules. In most cases, however, a warning or temporary suspension will come first.
Recommendations & Best Practices:
- Clear & Readable Charts: Screenshots should be clean and easy to read. Ideally, clearly display your entries, exits, stop-loss placement, and higher-timeframe context in a single image.
- Execution Timeframe Notes: For practical reasons (too many trades, lengthy individual trades, etc.), it's not always necessary to include your execution chart in every screenshot - just be sure to mention which execution timeframe or chart type you used.
- Contextual Sharing: If you share YouTube videos or other educational content that inspires you, add a brief note explaining why you are sharing it and what key takeaway we should focus on.
- Proper Terminology: ULTF Trading is not the same as scalping. Please use the terminology accordingly.
The OP may dislike (hide) certain posts if they feel a post distracts from the core topic or violates thread standards. Please don't take it personally.
About Me:
My name is Gauranga. I am a full-time trader for the past three years. I started out swing trading, but after discovering the advantages of short-term trading - and especially ULTF trading - I never looked back. If you're interested in seeing how my trading evolved over time, you're welcome to check out my journal: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...rangas-journal (I will soon be retiring it to focus and post here instead).
