Think of these futures numbers as having gravity, with the middle (pivot) having the most gravity. These numbers tend to suck the market into them. In order to escape the gravity of these numbers, you need sufficient velocity.
1. Hitting a couple of "home runs" from time to time while suffering equity drawdowns in the interim.
2. Or consistently looking for high probability set-ups that can allow the trader to generate a consistent income stream by getting "singles" and "doubles" throughout the trading day.
Either system will work with proper money management and a sound methodology, but we prefer to go for consistency on a day to day basis.
To achieve these results not only requires a proven methodology, but rigorous adherence
to it. Controlling fear and greed is what separates winning traders from losing traders.
"There are old traders and there are bold traders, but there are very few old, bold, traders."
