I don't understand your question, you're basically stating that you want help with a stop loss on a negative expectancy where you don't have big losers. That's part of the sacrifice.
Why don't you scalp ZB where each tick is $31 and so your commission isn't $4.15 for a $12.5 es tick but $4.15 for a $31 dollar tick. That would be like having a hypothetical equivalent $1.7 round trip commission for ES lol. Only problem is that ZB moves a lot slower than ES.
If you want I can help you out with your MAE stop loss if you respond to my pm.

Yep. I've been live for a few weeks now trading the /es. Things change. (Like today, I used tick charts for the first time and I've completed 36 trades, all winners (just 1 tick though), so expect a post on that with ?'s. This is my current profit margin. Second, AMP futures matched Ninja Traders commissions. Lastly....this is not a brag post. I just answered questions that were asked. If your a loosing trader (obviously you are), worry about your margins....not mine. As my career advances things will change a lot. This is a great forum, please don't ruin it by questioning people you do not knows integrity. If you spent half as much time on your trading journal as you do looking up and comparing old posts, you might have a career as a trader as opposed t sending private messages and offering to fund them if they can prove it. Make your own money. And for just a second, consider that my numbers are accurate (and they are not that great honestly, these are average numbers in most peoples opinions. ), a post like this is how you open up a potential offer? Really. No thank you.
Thank you, that helped today. One thing about my feel....I'm still new to the Futures realm. I worry about "feeling" the market. I see almost everyone uses indicators (but they are looking for more than 1 tick though). When I use to trade options , my rules were iron clad. Get in here, out there. Are there a lot of traders that scalp the way I do? By watching and feeling the market? Thanks for your input.
I combined your advise with another guys on this thread. And put my stop loss at 3 Ticks. That being said I used a TICK chart today for the first time, and for a trader like me taking 1 tick here and there....combined with the advice I received from you and the other guy, it has really worked out. Today anyway. Lets see if it has some longevity. Thanks again!
Hi, why don't you try to code your strategy and backtest it on a 5/10 years historical? It would give you a more accurate info about what stop to use and profit target. Try to code what you look when you enter the trade and how you manage your position, it can help a lot not to waste money and time on something that eventually you may find can't work.
Honestly this is the most ridiculous thread I've ever read on futures.io (formerly BMT), It almost seems made up. The offer to fund you was partly a joke because you obviously can't prove that you aren't lying. I know for a fact you can't keep this system up, the math doesn't add up. If It were legal on here I'd bet $10,000 that you'll blow up in a month at the same rate. You're blatantly ignoring some of the fundamental lessons here about trading. You can't even appreciate my advice about zb either wow. Do you understand how many people have tried to attempt the exact same thing you are and they either leave and never come back or continue to change chart types etc.?
If you knew what you were doing consistently you wouldn't be asking such obvious questions like "where do I place my stop loss with a 1 tick target so I don't get big losers?" or "how do I avoid paying large sums with commission if I have 1 tick targets?" . You know nothing about my trading and I'm not interested in margins. Looking up your previous posts takes a few seconds with a couple clicks. I don't even understand why you're talking about my journal when you don't even have one on here? Why don't you post some of your charts on here putting some effort into your "career" like the rest of us do.
I apologize for coming off sarcastic at first, but you've been here almost two years and the answer to your questions are glaring out in just about every journal and advice given here. It just takes a little research.
