Guys, Is there a futures contract that has a tick size less that $5 ?? Could be an index/commodities etc. anything. Thanks,

hey did u met with these guys...? whats the details about them..?

Manging your stop effectively as in manually trail it is on way to boost r:r - I might be wrong here - may be more experience folks can answer this. :whistling

I don't have much to say on this strategy - r u day trading this. I would imagine this strategy being lil harsh for a day trader. with fake break outs and multiple tests of S/R. would kill some one like me.

I dont know about you - I have had the worst losses on the days that I have tried to get the tops, when the market had popped. It seems to work well on individual stocks that on futures. I dont know ... :)

Staying in the game is Important...! Having a R:R ratio better than 1:1 is very important psychologically and finacially. You will be confident taking the trade and will stay in until it hits your stop. you will be able to comfortably manage a trade. profits = high probibility + R:R ration...

:clap: I know how it feels... but its OK... as long as you have learned your lesson... i lost 5K one day - first day - so i have been stung.. I had other issues... but whateve.. use stops... understand that you are playing with probability and risk and reward ratios. your set-ups/ signals...

If i may ... I think what u need is enter higher probability set ups. and keep you R/R ratio positive... results will be fulfilling... ther is no such thing as on the spot....close ya.. gotta be. :eek:

From my experience... even if you are scalping ...letting the winners run with a trailing stop is the key to increase profitability. its probability game...high probability setups with contineous trade management If i am not being a jack ass... people who scalp ticks (including me right now)...
