$900 trading the ES in the first hour

Mark Sear • Mar 29, 2021

The first hour of trading delivered for us again - depending on your flavor of trading you made either $93.75 on micros or $937.50 on minis.  Either way you took very little risk and the trades were easy to see - just follow the 3 dotted lines for your trend and enter as our super simple pre-trade check list tells you to. 


You know why planes crash so rarely?  Partly engineering but also because pilots are disciplined and don't take unnecessary risks.  They operate in a highly disciplined fashion.  So do all good traders.  There is no such thing as a successful trader that has no discipline.  They lose money.  That's why Banks, Hedge Funds and Prop Funds do not employ people that are "random".  It just doesn't work.


So.  If you want to learn trading discipline and how to make money buying on greed and selling on red ... you need Inteligex.



As you see on the left, the manuals that pilots have cope with just about every single scenario imaginable.


Our process is simpler of course, but based on the same principles.  Plan and then execute on the plan.


When trading with Inteligex you have very few things to consider (unlike flying!!).


  • Draw the daily support and resistance numbers on screen - all supplied - simple
  • Monitor the higher timeframe chart for guidance
  • Monitor the lower timeframe chart for entries/exits


It really is all very simple. 


Then there is one other thing you need to remember.


Buy on green
Sell on red
