Scalping for 1-2 ticks

[RogueTrader888888]

Feels like picking up pennies in a railtrack before a train comes to hit u and u lose 10 ticks

Unless you hedge yourself with a basket of stocks or a correlated future.
Buying/Selling when premium is high/low

That's more the job of a computer

I had my head shaved last week to prevent 1 or 2 ticks.

This is true scalping for 1 or 2 ticks.

One of my university friends writes code for some hedge fund that does that. Apparently, works rather well.

I am trying to figure out how often I am right for 4 ticks in the emini, I am going to try this for a month or two, then maybe try out 3 or 5 ticks. and see which one makes more money.
I am setting my stop for the same as my profit.
