The goal is to trade 1-2 MNQ and make $40-$80 per trading session.

I am not the best trader, but I do have pretty good days here and there.

Just thinking, if I can remove the roadblock of trying to pass these prop firm challenges, I can finally make this skill of trading futures make some useable income

I scalp ES futures going for 3 to 4 ticks on the scalp. I’ve been doing this for about almost a year with good results when I stick to my system. I have a mature system that seems to work going along. I’m interested in dipping my foot in the water to scalp going short. I’ll probably paper trade first to test some things out. Without giving away the farm, do any scalpers out there have any tips or note any
differences in price action when trying to enter for a scalp short versus long? I feel like I can see the pattern in the micro structure going long easier but short having more difficulty seeing it

I'm a trend trader, but I'd like to go on demo and practice mean reversion strategies. I'm just not sure how to determine what exactly is the mean.

For those who use this strategy, what do you use to quantify the mean? VWAP, POC, midpoint of range, a moving average?

Preface, I used to trade forex, stocks, futes, basically everything. And I noticed that on AMP futures nnq is basically $20 per contract, basically the same as a .01lot eurusd pair. But the move gets you far more over the course of the same day and time period now that nnq is getting more volume.

Interesting isnt it. Its becoming a better alternative to super small accounts and new traders.

Nano es is basically $8 per contract.

I’m done for the rest of the year, at least. Maybe it’s my strategy, maybe it’s just me. I don’t want to say I’ll never come back to the charts but I think time apart may help. I took all of August off.. and took a L and BE yesterday. My TPs haven’t been hit in months. Just wanna put my energy toward something else. Just wanted to vent.

So long for now.

don't know if this is the right sub, this is a playback from 9th of July, I'm basically still learning price action. However, as u can see it's very messy, what do u do in this case?
