my favorite is 6E not ES because I like it better since I have 24 hr trading opportunity. Day trading or scalping does not mean that I have to get in and out all the time. but trading setup presents 1-2 times on daily basis for intra-day swing and can hold a few hours based on my statistical study.

this is basically my impression that any TA and trading setups and this will lead to pure probability trading.

However, there maybe just maybe better trading system and philosophy.

This is how i will enter long by identifying 3 possible entries. although it might look like Elliot wave, this is not Elliot wave by the way.

PNL 457

basically traded the 2nd short on 1 minute chart. the pink started from 21 is not finished yet and will go low more.
hope long will be available tomorrow some time

prediction is not the basis of trading but I still anticipate this price movement scenario.

current closed trades PNL at 973
but I have 2 long contracts on 6e at 1.3508 and current quote is 1.3475

I found it almost true to me when I want to hold a position for a good swing instead of scalping, I could end in losing money.

On 30 min chart of 6e and dollar index, I still hold that there could be a good up run for euro.

today PNL 2600

a good day. my holding of 2 6E long finally gave me reward. as seen from previous 30 min 6E chart, I was expecting a good run up and it came.

trade a few CL for quick profits.

30 min 6E still not yet break the triangle type pattern. Pink 51 still doing a pivotal box. many scalping opportunities on lower time frame.

Thanks

this is my own method it incorporated the following:
DOW theory
Elliot wave
Supply and demand levels

To me, it is much better than any other methods. For example, this week I made total 45000 profit by day trading and scalping. a sample trade summary from one account is here:

Starfill,
Have you thought of teaching your method to others ? or writing some general broad line information and rules ? How to synchronize the Dow Theory with Elliott wave ?
Thanks

Hi, thanks for your interest.

I actually taught one local guy just to test my system to see if it is replicable to to others because I feel this is a semi mechanical and very clear rule-based. He is doing well now.

I　will write some general line information on my system in the following days.

attached is my trading summary for today from 2 accounts
