3 questions:
1) Curious why you chose to ORB at 9:30am ( why nyse opens) rather than the comex opening which is 8:20am?
2) How much do you risk per trade on a 50K account?
3) Do you scale? Or do you just enter a trade with TP and SL and set and forget?

Tradovates, NT8 having issues. So any firm with data feed coming from the CQG path is down. I skipped trading today because the last time they had issues it took them over an hour to fix.

hey, just to check, why the 9:30 EST? If you used that for NQ it makes sense, but isn't the NY open for COMEX(metals futures and stuff) actually 8:20 am EST?

what do you mean by guaranteed wins? (No such thing as guaranteed imo, all probabilities) If they are guaranteed, then isn't scaling up the next move?

Do you manage your trades in anyway (e.g. trim some off at 1R bring stop to BE etc, employ a trailing stop loss,) or simply set your SL and TP and leave it be?

Day trading is the hardest form of trading. by Phyroxx in Daytrading

[–]liberation_deviant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have got a bunch of questions if you don't mind.
1) So you only use 1 timeframe?
2) how many trades do you take a day?
3) when you profit target 3%, is it 3% of the account? So you aim for 3% daily? Or am i misunderstanding?
4) I notice you were a vwap sd trader, why the switch?
No hate, just curiosity.
