{quote} yep taking only 123 trades for 12 gimmee ticks

I know you have probably done it a bunch of times in the past, divergence, but for those of us late to the thread, could you post a screen pic of the YM trade you take and tell us about any rules you use, e.g. timing, money management, etc. Thanks!

It's just a 123 pattern at end of a trend. you wait till it takes out point 2 and take the pullback to point 3 candle to enter for 12 ticks I've posted hundreds of these setups in pizza shop so here's a chart from phone of that trade MM when up 6 stop to +1 that's it

I love it. How about adding a column with same risk parameters but No TP to let it run at close of one hour or lunch time or even end of ny session :-

Thus far none of the e-micro experiments, to my knowledge, have resulted in a liquid market. Liquidity is vital for small trader profitability. I think that the best way for anyone to come to the NQ is to save up at least $500 - that will allow you to open a demo account with AMP - at least I think so. I used to have a paper trading account linked to my live account. I do not see it anymore, but that could be because I was inactive for so long. But call AMP - if they will give a demo account with a funded account, fund the account with $500. It...
Good Suggestion. Amp requires only $100 minimum balance before they terminate the data feed from CQG (it's a regulatory requirement enforced by CQG) so only $220.00 is required to demo your strategy for the entire year with live market data. You simply cannot beat this deal.... even if you do not want to trade live with them, it is money spent well.

Here's one more platinum as you break / fade your moves. If you understand the coast line approach within the framework of OC, you will notice "vista points" as perfect setups for reversals.

When you arrive at Vista Points, either you continue in the direction of the journey or you use such points to make a U Turn (for whatever reason). Same analogy applies to the market and today was perfect way to fade the VWAPs or whatever technique is used.

Edit: I cannot switch my chart to a blank study but look at the last LL on M1 at 7:11am pacific in conjunction with your vwap bands and then again at few mins past noon ET... fake outs have a good signature of a vista point on a coastal highway :-

Edit: Hopefully, partial screenshot should suffice what I am saying here.

Yes but only for my visual understanding in relation to what my design is intended to do.... gathering the facts in real time to confirm my interpretations. Apart from moving averages and static OC blueprint for navigation, there is nothing more to it. I have over 100 of "lines" (as part of the design required mostly by the way Sierra operates) all clobbered into one sub-chart area as well but hidden as I don't need to see them). Brute force required ammunition :-)

EDIT: Also some moving averages are there as "tools" to "turn on" the trailing stops or trailing TPs switches when I am distracted to leave my trading desk for work/life issues.

If you don't mind, I have some info on using timestops that we can validate as part of this. Please use no TP exits at pacific times 7:30am, 8am, 9am (noon ET) and 12:45(3:45pm ET).

That’s great, Erasmus. Now to investigate why ...

First, 10 trades is too small a sample ... you need 20 to 25 trades sample sizes.

Second, what were the ranges on the days tested compared the ranges of the days you tested in March.

Volatilty would likely dictate potentially changing a scalper’s profit target. Most of the time my scalp targets were 5 points. A few months ago, they would have been 10 points. Right now 6.25 is perfect. But if yesterday becomes the norm again, I’d be back at 5 points.
