I see you're going for quick scalps more these days. Whatever works!

I choose targets based on the market conditions and the potential of each trade. The one's I took today never went much beyond where I got out. No sense holding for 30 or 50 if it has little chance of getting there. Unfortunately I wasn't in front of my screen for the bigger moves. But I don't mind taking 10, 20 or 30 ticks . If someone can average 20 to 40 ticks a day, and they can eventually leverage large amounts of contracts...then they should be able to generate a very nice income.

Understood. The first thing one must try to evaluate is market conditions and trade/not trade accordingly.

Pretty good day again.... I think I will be taking a hiatus from posting anymore videos or charts for a while. There seems to be an overall lack of interest. I suppose it gets repetitive seeing the same types of setups etc.. I think I have pretty much explained things by now throughout this thread and there is no need to keep going over it...especially since there is very little interaction. Maybe there isn't enough experimentation and "The Eternal Quest for the Holy Grail " type thing that seems to intrigue more people?

If anyone feels like posting any questions about trading Cl..or even TF, I will be happy to respond.

Selfishly I wouldn't mind seeing you continue to post, but I understand not wanting to if you are not getting much out of it. Thanks for sharing. It has helped.
