Your information is totally inaccurate, Adrian. Firstly, the quarterly contracts expire in March, June, September and December. Anyway, more information can be found on the following site:

agreed. tho highly problematic attitude to chose tf according to the exicement it creates. what i dislike about higher tf's tho is the large sl's one has to use.
There are two ways you can avoid this both have their advantages and disadvantages.

1. Scaling in using the 1-2-3 method. You scale in using 1 lot for the earliest entry with the largest SL, 2 lots with a smaller SL and 3 lots with the smallest SL. The price for all 3 SLs must be the same! These 6 lots with different sized SLs should all amount to just 1 or 2% of your account. It requires calculation and setting up 3 separate orders, but it insures that if price only reaches your first entry it will at least ensure that you are in the trade, even if it is just for 0.167%-0.334% of your account.

2. Go down to the lower timeframes and tighten the supply or demand zone, so that it is only 50 pips or less. Then go all in-all out or all in-scale out. The disadvantage here is that price might never reach your entry and you might miss the trade.

These are all different setups and the thing is you should be consistent in what you do! Hence writing it all down in a trading plan and then following your plan. I have been experimenting will different setups, entries, blah blah blah to see what works for ME and what makes me HAPPY and RELAXED. Once you have a plan and you stick to your plan, trading is so much less stressful. Trading should be stress free. If it is not stress free... you have a problem!

...no market profiling is not abandoned I think your getting slightly confused mate....I know of a large proprietary firm that uses it as standard in all intraday analyasis.

Market profiling does not contain magic or wizardry neither is it an indicator therefore no need to abandon anything. Its simply is a tool that shows you where price has traded throughout the day in a compound format which allows important areas of supp/res, day point of control, single prints and profile...
Nice

Here is an intraday short that I am in now. Will this work? Who knows, but the key is to sell high and buy low, not like our friend Erinieks who has this tendency to sell low and buy high!

His profile says he has been trading 3-5 years... lol!

This is also countertrend on this timeframe... so more risky!

Same principles applies on the higher timeframes and that is why I choose to pick tops and bottoms. It gives me the best risk/reward ratio. Anyway, I bet this goes on to hit my SL now... lol... bothered... not!

Just back for 1/2 hr or so to watch the U.s Q3 Gdp release...I see price continued up off the previous 1hr/4hr swing hi zone, the 1hr hidden divergence suggesting that was the greater probability from there.

U.s Q3 GDP due in 10mins or so...this has been known to move the market n the knee-jerk reaction to it +. With all the fevered speculation about Fed's likely next move, a poor # could see $ come under pressure, wheras a better than expected number may see some relief for the $. Q2 's initial 2.4% was marked down top 1.7% and the market is expecting around 2.1%. Gdp price index and employment cost index released at same time and Chicago PMI and revised Uom later.

It's news so anything can happen....but with volatility may come opportunity should the market react either way.

After such a big build up it's bound to be a dissappointment now - Lol !!

Us Q3 GDP advance # comes in @ 2.0% under the 2.1% forecast...$ selling is the knee-jerk in this pairing...market achieving a slightly higher high than yesterday's hi...question now is - is this stop clearing of aggressive/tight short side stops or will a sustained break above yesterday's hi toward and beyond that 6107 result ?

Finishing here for day/week.

Alright last one for today called the "Throwback trade". Cloggie will like this one because I am not picking bottoms or tops, but going with the trend!

Previous resistance becomes support and you buy at support in the direction of the trend. I bought at support but with my 3 pip spread on all trades using my Micro account, hence the buy line is 3 pips above the support line. Can't get simpler than that when wanting to engage the trend!

Once I have mastered day trading I will be trading on the Forex Futures (CME) market which has minimal spread and I reckon I am another 12 months, maybe more, before I get there. I am even thinking of Commodities/Options trading... but that is a long way off... Let me do the basics first... lol

Have a great weekend all!
