i'd say 10-15k for me to be comfortable and not worry that a bad month gonna screw me up. i'm not like profitfarmer..more like one of those door to door insurance salesman..i have my hot months..and other months i'd be eating ramen for days..

so yea, inconsistently big profits with long stretches of losses..that's where i'm at..translates to just enough profit to not make me quit altogether..defintely not the way to "trade for a living"

probably why i'm so quick to withdraw..i can't trust myself to be consistent..so when i'm lucky..i head for the atm quick!

With that mindset you'll always work for someone else the rest of your life. That's not terrible you just are not business minded it good to know that before you blow all your money

Back at it again after a short break. Basically i've been pouring over charts to see the which market has the best ranges from Tokyo to NY open. I've decided that those are the hours I'm willing to spend on trading. everytime trading spills over to my time at the job, i lose focus and get emotional.

decided on GC for having the most decent range during that time.

Also going the 'scalping' route this time. nothing too small but about 10-15 ticks average. Start with 5 cars and go from there.

While with multicharts check out their new imbalance delta charts, might prefer them over footprint: https://www.multicharts.com/trading-...mbalance_Delta .

I like MC for placing orders but handling the chart feels a bit odd.

for today..skipping gc...looking at a nice setup on ES i can't pass

yesterday's profile is wahat i call a "P" breakout. i just needed to enter at a nice level which happens to be yesterday open/close area

also based on delta footprint, low bids coming into that area, i'm assuming means weak selling pressure..

so..in conclusion..i bought the hell out of it.. about 10-15% risk...i'm hoping for a breakout bullish day ...

testing with multiple entries around poc zones and daily highs/lows. i feel like i'm not stressing out over precision as much and just trading around zones seems "easier".

i think there is a legitimacy to break up your entries like this. But the challenge is to know when the sentiment has completely reversed and you have to stop relying on averaging forever and just close and follow the trend. that level could be larger TF POC or high/low..

so will test this out going forward adn see how this goes..

I see your struggling to get your head around this. What I do is take PA setups around these levels like 2b and 123 setups. Then trade pullback to s and d in between levels

i'm shifting from the desert eagle single shot to buckshot shotgun approach...it's easier to kill with buckshot

but i don't think i'm a skeet shooter.. just not in me..

since i probably won't go back to forex again..i'll attach my long gone TE....let it be carved into FF history

some profit money is put to work in futures..dont' want to put all of it back in until i get a hold of MP trading..

if i do lose say 60% of that profit, i'd probaby just call it quits..you know trading is not for you and you have to walk away, in my case, i want to say at least i walked away from trading wtih some profit...

I agree this style is easier and less stressful if you are averaging in small enough positions to keep the stress level low, but for me, i can have 18 winning days in the month and then 2 losers where I keep averaging and next thing you know the market took a dive off the cliff and left me holding the bag. This style requires much less precision and is more about getting in and out of zones by using multiple orders to take your profit.

problem is, everytime i go this method, i blow the acct because I don't know when to say when. Like the Gambler song says, "you got know when to walk away, know when to run". That's my problem. I never want to fold!

I'm getting back into futures one more time myself. Going back to the one shot, one kill method. There's alot less opportunities doing it this way, but for me, it's where I keep my best discipline using SL's and waiting on the best entry. Averaging is so much more fun until it's not!
