{quote} Volatility and liquidity (1 tick spreads). More opportunities over a 3 hour morning session (EST). At times, natural gas and gold are good but they don't have a day-to-day consistent level of volatility. When something works well, I go for more repetitions at smaller size (I define 5 contracts as my max small position) rather than larger size with fewer opportunities. I don't have to scan anything. Just show up every morning and I'm virtually guaranteed at least one of 3 e-minis or crude (CL) is going to move very well. [Day traders in the...
Thanks Mate, know of any MT4 broker offering E-minis? because mine doesn't and I hate trading crudel lol, I see that could be where you got your username from sorry

I add s/r lines trading in the buff style....and set them as target, if it breakez those zones easy than i let them run an look for a new zone, sometimes i take profit as ot hits those zones and re enter when it breaks through....and exit when i think its done with RP's exit rules

{quote} Sounds interesting....wich platform and broker u use for this?
Broker is Interactive Brokers. They're in Europe / Asia as well. They stopped allowing leveraged Forex trades within the last year. They got burned very badly with the Swiss fiasco to the tune of about a $150 million loss.

The charting platform I use is NinjaTrader 7. They have a version 8 as well. NinjaTrader is free if you just want to do the charting and then take your actual trades through either IB's trading interface directly or some other less costly front-end to avoid having to pay for some lifetime license to NT.

Here's some sample charts from today. All charts are 1 min, Ichimoku of (9, 16, 52). The distances covered have been occurring in much shorter times than these so this is a slow day. These aren't my trades, just to show you some distances and price gains possible with RP's method. One chart of the NQ shows that bounces off of the cloud as continuation trades tend to work pretty well on the e-minis.

I won't post about this anymore as this is a Forex-centered trading group.

[The times on these charts are Eastern Standard Time. E-minis open their regular trading hours at 9:30 EST and close at 16:15]

No reason except that I used to trade it via another approach.

E/J today - one loser and a couple of gains - not sure but I think I waited too long on one trade but that is me - too slow at times and hesitant to push the button. Comments welcome.

EJ ( the only pair I trade )was a good long and short. But I think several pairs exhibited similar tradeable behaviour ?
