When “scalping” what’s your average position size compared to a non scalp based on the number or pips looking to take? Other words in a scalp are you taking a larger then normal position size with a tight stop in the hopes X pips is really X pips * ...

Just can’t help myself seeing there still like 4 hours to go I think. Small lint at 2150 sl 2135. Maybe leave this one open over the weekend? Sometimes I win that lottery ticket on the week open. Doubt there would be a huge gap down I’d get a crap ...

was thinking the same thing but how do you see the 2150/60 area maybe getting broken / held. That’s a long standing high I believe. I’m long from 2111 having got in on the retrace of the initial move (after losing 2 small shorts the hour before ...

What’s everyone’s general rule for NFP? It’s been God like 8 years since I’ve “traded” on that day. Guessing all those with multiple long (as in length of time not market direction) term trades just hunker down and maybe adjust stops. But for those ...
