when trading intraday
I suggest using smaller initial stops and look for trades with Risk Rewards
that are at 2:1 or higher. I personally do not take trades with initial stop
losses larger than three S&P points and I never take a trade with a Risk
Reward below 2:1 _ I am much more comfortable in the 3 or 4:1 area when intraday
trading. I don't find these trades that difficult to find once you get used to
looking for them and if I have to wait to find a trade that fits my acceptable
profile, that doesn't bother me at all. I just want to be consistently profitable and
it costs me nothing to wait for an acceptable trade. Patience and discipline are prerequisites for trading success.

markets now
Up auction continues. S&Ps traded above it's eight day range and closed above it, which suggests strength, but as we know it's not the breakout but the follow through that matters.
