Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

out -1

You had a 30 point stop, why did you exit at -1 and then re-enter long?

if i don't like the way it's looking, why take the full 30 stop? i can always get back in anywhere i like.

nothing quantitative, or quant about i trade off my gut. i watch the price..

or, at least thats the way i am trying to teach myself (i'm on SIM/DEMO now)

i can't trade any other way, i'm not smart enough.

here's the thing, a short long time ago i decided/realized don't have smarts to compete..

so i decided to compensate for that by putting on a LOT of screen time.

don't get me wrong, i'm no slave to it i love it

I just see a tight sideways range. My intestines tell me it's gonna pop up, but no trade atm.

so, you are saying you have a long bias as i do? but no trade triggered?

perfectly reasonable, and i can't disagree with you. i am trying to get in early, and if it goes south i'll get out quick probably lot less than the 30 stop.

Stop trading with your gut and make a damn plan man

i DO have a plan, that's absorbing as much screen time.

my charts are on 24/7. over weekend, charts ON.

i've had my best "AHA" moments, watching NFL all day sunday, coming off the fridge with a beer, and there are the charts.

about 8 foot from another perspective.

keep your charts on even when you aren't really looking at them, the human body absords much information by osmosis. cience hav't discovered this yet, but it will

1:3 RR ?

the market doesn't care what my RR is does it?

an arbitrary value imposed upon (nearly) random activity by human traders trying to get a handle on the chaos

and its only going to get worse
