Anyone scalping the FTSE Futures??

[barjon]

There is not much doubt, in my mind, that losses have to be kept as small as possible and, if possible, always break even rather than take a loss.

Today, being able to stay close to my computer. I have traded 5 times-

The results are, -10; +2; -5; +3; +36. Total +36

This can only be done by practising short stops. Mine are 10 points. but I manually get out sooner, if I do not like the trade All these trades were shorts, as I had the idea that FT would go lower, today.

I'm not good enough to get the timing right, so I have to do it this way,

Split,
If you get 30+ points a day at £10 per point, not a bad days work?
Good luck.

The winner was great to have. Unfortunately, it is not always that way. My real intention was to carefully watch all the trades and not to have false hopes. Without the last trade I would have netted zero. That, believe it, or not, would have satisfied me, too, because tomorrow is another day.

“The One Chip Rule”

Back in the early 1970s I met one of my mentors. His name was Jimmy and back then he had been a professional gambler for more than 30 years. One night over cocktails I asked him, “Hey Jim, how is it you have been able to live as a professional gambler for three decades?” His response was, “I adhere to the one chip rule.” “What’s that?” I questioned. “Well, I learned very early in the gambling business that every time I won 10 ‘chips’ I needed to .........................

Ok, you guys, ------------I can take it!

I wonder if that's why I've been winning on paper all these years?

For the rest, who never check up on me, because of my reputation as a gentleman, everything was correct, except the total. +26 points

Jon, that is right, isn't it. I'll work it out on paper next time.
