The 1min chart above illustrates, what i would consider to be, normal or typical ES action within the session.
I've put two horizontal lines on the screen to highlight two breakout trades.
The first order was filled at 19:34 @ 1322.25. The strategy used was a two tick stop with a four tick target.
The second order at 20:46 @ 1324.25 didn't get filled, because i don't trade after 20:30, maybe i should change that rule.
Both orders above were buy limits, not market orders.
I've posted this to highlight the fact that trading futures can be made really simple, it doesn't have to become a rigmarole. Of course, these types of trades don't always work, as with any type of method. The hardest part of this method is the waiting.
All comments welcome. Oh and by the way, before anyone asks, i'm only trading 10 contracts at the moment.
