Brooks On ScalpingWhen ES Daily ATR is 10-20 pts, using a 2 pt protective stop is a reliable approachIf scalping for a 1 pt profit, you need to win more than twice as often as you lose Therefore, you need to be right about 70% of the time just to break even For this reason, Brooks mostly swing trades
-
Brooks on Intraday Swing TradingAn ES swing setup has a high probability to achieve 10 pts during the intraday move when ATR > 15-25There are 3-6 setups a day where you can make 4 points while risking 2. If you trade these with a 4 pt. profit target and a 2 pt. stop, you only have to win 40% of the time to be profitable.In practice, you will exit some trades at 1-3 pts because of an opposite signal. Your 2 pt stop should rarely be hit. However, once the mkt has moved 2-3 pts in your direction, Brooks suggests moving stop to break even.Never risk > 4-5 ticks once profit =>2 pts.
