hey I just wanted to try 1 min chart because there isn't too much action out there... even with reports like unemployment claims that almost comes exact.... The thing is it takes a lot of patience. As for the TP you are referring to...it's really up to you... if you want to be more conservative you can use a smaller TP and you will get a better hit rate. Personally I like big # but it's really up to you. I figured the forum isn't that live because people simply like to program robots to do the work for them, which is not bad. But not suitable for this type of sniper trading style as you said. The entry is really the most important factor... and only a few rare opportunities present themselves. It could be frustrating to wait for them, but if you really want to succeed in this, it's only logical that it will take a lot of effort, as the reward is tremedous if success is obtained.
