Futures daytrading can be profitable without being exciting! If you are looking for a lot of futures daytrading action and catching big pivots and reversals, finding intra-day tops to sell and bottoms to buy, Alert futures daytrading signals simply will not be of interest to you. “The road to success is always under construction.” Unknown
We hate to admit it but futures daytrading is downright boring most of the time. It amounts to being in a trading chair practically every moment during the markets daytime primary session. Even when you want to be outside playing, or building something in the garage. Sometimes while futures daytrading, the market clearly demonstrates that there will not be much going on for a while, and Alert futures daytrading may let you know when it is like that. But most of the time, the futures market can change attitude at any point and daytrading futures successfully depends on being there to take advantage of every opportunity when it presents itself. It is important to understand that really great intra day futures day trades are spread out thinly over the general trading week. To be successful at futures day trading, traders have to be there when the trade occurs. Generally, Alert futures daytrading will rarely trade in the 1st hour, and never in the last 30 minutes. We are tempted all the time toward futures daytrading during the last 30 minutes, but it is our rule not to. And a hard learned rule at that. We at Alert futures daytrading are not in it for the excitement. As our trading has matured insights have brought us to the realization that the best chance of making money consistently in futures daytrading the S&P 500 or E-Mini, is to let the market show us the way it wants to go and then enter along with that move. We begin each trading day with an open and unknowing outlook, and do not try to predict the markets direction. Expectations create boundaries in the mind which lower the odds of success. While futures daytrading, traders certainly do not care which direction the market goes, but it is good when it moves around steadily. Experience has led Alert futures daytrading to the development of a futures daytrading methodology in which trades are entered at very high probability areas, and exited at areas of a high probability of reversal or at least an end of the current move. Whenever an intra day trend occurs, we want to be in at least part of it. Intra-day trends do not always offer low risk points of entry for futures daytrading. But when they do it is critical to trade them. To Understand a little about risk, traders must know it is necessary to take risk in order to succeed. At Alert futures daytrading we are very clear as to exactly what our risk is in our trades. For that reason we are quick to protect a profit. The Alert futures daytrading method works well with multiple contracts because we can scale out of the markets when we have profit in a trade. The first little pop of approximately 1.5 to 2 points is a good place to exit a 1/3 or 1/2 of the contracts. In futures daytrading this can occur just a minute or two after entering the trade. At the same time we can move our stops to further reduce risk on remaining contracts. Finally, the last contract(s) either get stopped out close to break even, or we make our greatest futures daytrading profit on those contracts. The last contracts are our ace in the hole, or home run contracts. There is no way anyone can assert that you will get rich trading this or any other futures daytrading method, but our daytrading signals have proven to be a steady, blue chip methodology. This futures daytrading methodology is comprised partly of rules we have developed, and partly of discretionary experience which has been gained, mostly by watching the market over the long term with the eye of a scientist. In futures daytrading we try to take only what these high probability trades will easily give, and no more. The winning trades tend to produce in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 times what the losing trades produce, although occasionally we will let a trade go all the way to the stop, which us typically about 2 points. Sometimes we will see a great trend take us along for a significant portion of the day's range. Futures daytrading with Alert daytrading signals is about entering a lot less trades, but having a very strong percentage be winning trades. We want to save our bullets for the sure shot!
