Having mentioned that I used to trade Euro futures (6E) a lot in the past, it occurs to me that perhaps with this wild volatility, with frequent 20 NQ tick mini-spikes up & down in less than a second, it would be more sensible to trade 6E or EU until things quieten down... don't need to make 100 ticks a day...
Higher margin less volatility if it makes you more comfortable then I would do it. If I see a setup and my stop is to big I just let it go

Same margin, higher tick value, actually - although I do wonder how much longer these super-low intraday margins will remain available. General regulator pressure is to greatly increase margins.

My concern is not the size of the stop, but the frequent "blip swings" of 20+ ticks in which I personally do not wish to trade. Remember, my daily target has only been to make 20 ticks on a 2 lot. Maybe it'll all quieten down next week, but if it doesn't maybe I'll trade EURCHF and slowly die of boredom...

it seems that you are counting the ewaves,its difficult and there is no one way to do it and no one knows who is right at counting the waves,do you have any indicator to draw 123 levels? this is really a good way of trading but require a hell of experience,if trader survive to get this experience then only can use this method of trading hehehe

No! Forget waves and counts. It really isn't necessary.

Just learn to identify the most relevant Supply/Demand levels and look for the retest;

It is fractal. so it works on all timescales. There will be a little more 'noise' on the chart as you view smaller timescales, so your larger timescales would be a good idea to start with in any case.

Supply/Demand or Support/Resistance is basically one and the same. Personally i regard The former as a zone and the latter as an exact level, but that is just my personal view.

We trade the NQ emini which is probably the most volatile market going. It is possible to find several set-ups in the first hour after open (2:30pm US time).

{quote} No, although of course they could be. I have mentioned several times before that I am a member of my friend, Darren's, Facebook group (he used to post here as 60minuteman : some great threads); he was booted into the Commercial forum when he started charging for his services : https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=555261 Timeframes from M15 to Weekly are investigated in an informal, but serious, manner. I am using H8 primarily to give me a bar close at 0700 CET.
I read the 60minuteman topic! The method looks so simple
I'm curious.
Are you a darren customer? He is a trader for a long time and is serious?
I tried to contact him but no answer.
The subscription gives what more?

I'm sorry, I do not want to advertise ... I tried to send you a private message, but not possible for send!
Thank you and good day

sincerely I find this amazing method!
I'm starting ... I'm looking for methods 2b and 123 ...
I am really impressed by this way of trading!
I think you just have to be patient, and read only the best patterns. I do not look anymore Support Resistance nor indicator ... only pattern 2b and 123

I don't know why you guys use the right click trade command menu when you can use the control bars and price ladder for order entry:
