Ive been trading the TF for about a week now on SIM and today was by far the toughest market conditions I have encountered on it. It felt like there were a lot of competing algos battling it out, but CL can be just as choppy and unforgiving, sometimes more so.
I'm boggled that you came out so far in the black....I looked at those numbers and thought WTH LOL!!?? Good market navigation on your part though! I got my face beaten in sim
TF price action was really crazy today. The bars were too large for me to take a trade. The moves had a lot of counter moves that would have taken me out of almost any trade that I thought about taking. And, there were a lot of reversals which I really suck at trading. With no real clear price direction, I skipped trading TF for today. Focused on other symbols for trading today.
Bottom line is you still did good today. congrats. I just can't get that crazy high intensity trading ball rolling....
Man.... so, I had taken half my position off, and had 4 contracts long left on the trade. I was using an ATM and T1 AND S1 were gone because T1 was hit. So only T2 and S2 still working (each for the full 4 contracts).
I wanted to split those orders into two seperate targets and stops (two contracts each). So, I watched a video on how to do it yesterday, and it involves pulling up a DOM, going to properties, and enabling quick buttons or whatever they're called. Then on the DOM you hit the "Target +" button, and that's supposed to split up the order into two parts.
Well, it got me out at market and I missed the perfect move up to my orig target.
I noticed you trade before the stock market opens, have you ever analyzed your trades in premarket versus during market hours? Being more or less profitable during certain times of the day?
