The biggest difference in thinner markets (CL, GC, FDAX, TF, etc) is that the liquidity is low and so it runs through levels a lot. I simply account for that. It doesn't affect me much (except that I have to be faster in thinner markets) because I don't just put orders out there to get filled. I stalk and take the turn when I can.

It does make a big difference. I can tell you that I'm a terrible 1-lot trader. That is a fact. Trading multiple contracts creates more opportunities to manage risk or to campaign when a trade is running, etc. The issue with it is that futures are leveraged and most folks aren't capitalized well enough to run more than 1 contract comfortably (under reason to push for a Micro-ES product to compete with SPY but give u the advantages of futures trading).

There are many basic failure patterns. A typical head and shoulder or M-pattern are failure patterns. I simply read them in the short term rather than on 60 min or daily charts.

I flip back and forth between volume and Renko. I use volume bars instead of time bars because I want to see that the market is not moving if there is no volume in it. I don't get the next back "just 'cause". I use Renko more now because it gives me what I think is a cleaner read on the turns. Renko is only used for trigger charts. I use Renko candles with wicks.
