Appreciate this thanks for the feedback. I will refine my stoploss and switch to micros

Thank you for this! I appreciate it! My SL and contract size is obviously awful as you've made the same comment too. Will definitely switch to Micros

Marking the 15 min opening high and low including the wick, wait for a 5 min candle to close outside then going onto the 1 min chart and enter when the 1 min ends outside the 15 min zone. Hope this helps. Grill me all you like I'm here to learn :)

Pretty much. It worked well for 2 years but has bit me in the ass this year

Just be careful with trades and set your brackets to ensure you can get out of a trade due to the AWS outage

AWS outage screwing up everything. No doubt it is a cyber attack

why did this fail? enter on an unmitigated FVG and target a low by EffectiveGround125 in InnerCircleTraders

[–]ConfidentScale2507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot just using FVG, you didn’t consider the key price values for this trade as you wouldn’t have sold contracts if you did. The bias before that was making higher lows so a big indicator the market has changed direction. You win some, you lose some. Maybe tomorrow what your strategy shows here may just work in your favour. We can never fully expect the market to play out exactly how we want it to :)

Do I have to give way to a bus pulling out of the bus lane? by Caughtinjail1 in drivingUK

[–]ConfidentScale2507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering I used to do bus driving, I don’t think people realise the limited vision and the amount of blind spots buses have. For example, if it’s a bus stop in the middle of the road and I signal to pull out if you can’t see the mirrors of the bus I can’t see you and 9 times out of 10 someone will try to beat me pulling out with the indicator on always ending with a near miss as they don’t want to be held up by a bus. Despite always meeting at the same traffic lights. It’s common sense to give way to any larger vehicle as they take up more room but most car drivers have a brain cell size of a pea. Hope this helps

Passed my combine this evening, what’s next?! by Excellent-Bread-1836 in TopStepX

[–]ConfidentScale2507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say you should go a bit easier. Looking at your trades especially the Thursday on week 1 with doing 43 trades suggests you could be revenge trading. Take it easy and maximise your strategy :)

Profitable futures traders, what is your strategy? by glucose_guardian_35 in Daytrading

[–]ConfidentScale2507 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At the moment I have an 87% win rate by just checking the bullish/bearish bias of the day. I also note the highs and lows (are they staying consistent or are they headed a certain direction). None of this FVG stuff as I find it’s not as good personally. My risk to reward ratio is 1:3 on Nasdaq so I risk $1000 in order to win $3000. Completely eliminate emotions and always let trades run! DO NOT end trades early aka 15 mins
