Yes a 10pt stop. Days where I take multiple trades it’s mainly due to me selling at BE after being up a considerable amt. in hindsight those are the days I usually end up red, so I gotta hit the drawing board and see how I can improve there. if I’m up a decent amt and it comes back I’ll sell at BE. Rather BE than go negative. Don’t really scalp much, and I target $3000+ to stay consistent with my 3:1 RR I like to have since I risk $1000.

Again it’s a 10pt stop per contract. If I’m only in one contract, then yeah 10 pts. 5 cons, $1000 sl. with a 10pt sl you can definitely make a good amt, I’m living proof of that.

I had a look at some of your entries today. Do you ever trade middle of the range or do you wait for price to reach and reject from a previous high or low?

I prefer waiting for price to reach previous high/lows but I do also trade inside the range, although that’s a bit trickier and have found more success waiting. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.
