Scalping DOW like a madman

Thoughts?

ok I'm doing a little better only 6 trades so far and 39 pips profit.

Yup it did fall

Pips are forex lingo. Futures trade in ticks.

Thanks. I knew that, but I think it was out of habit.
(repeating to myself: "tick size, tick size, tick size!!!" hehehe)

What's more important is that the total is positive as long as I keep that right, I don't care if I call it the wrong name

Pip - "The smallest price change that a given exchange rate can make. Since most major currency pairs are priced to four decimal places, the smallest change is that of the last decimal point - for most pairs this is the equivalent of 1/100th of one percent, or one basis point."

Which broker are you using for the scalping and what is the spread and commission?

I use mb trading, you can check their commissions, there may be better ones out there but I'm ok with them. also I mostly do regular ours, they seem to have interruptions when it goes to the next day, etc. but I never hold positions overnight so that doesn't bother me.

Swift Trade flashback

Actually, at that company, 50 trades per day was my average. Didn't do nearly as well as now making 1-2 trades per day from home.

Enjoy your hyper-scalping

Yes, I'm seriously cutting back.

I run statistics and I pay special attention to average profit/trade (after commissions).

I have found that cutting back just a little increases my profit/trade almost 4 times and I don't give back nearly as much in commissions.
