Hey Philipe. Glad to hear you like the blog and find the articles useful!

In my experience the best hours to trade the Emini S&P 500 are from about 9:30AM EST until 1:00PM EST. There’s usually a lot of good activity in the first couple hours of the morning so that’s typically where I focus my efforts. Most days I wrap up my trading in about 2 hours (so around 11:30AM EST) but I’ll occasionally have a longer session if the market is making some really nice swings and I’m able to aim for larger than normal profit targets.

Appreciate the kind words as always, Petr.

Hopefully you find this helpful and your weekly profits continue to grow. My best advice would be to just try and keep things simple. If price is ranging and momentum becomes limited then don’t be afraid to bank those profits. If the swings are large and high momentum or we’re trending then be a bit more patient waiting for your larger targets to be hit. Simple, but very effective!

Thanks, Oliver.

Haha, no, wasn’t actually gearing it towards you directly but I thought it was a good topic to discuss since we’ve seen lots of big swings lately and opportunities for larger than normal profit targets. In my experience pretty much anyone who begins opening up their targets will have a bit of a feeling out period until they find their personal comfort zone that maximizes profitability. It’s a normal part of the process but I think going through it is a key element between just being profitable and reaching those more elite levels of daily/weekly profitability.

Also, the charts you provided and sample trades on “when to give up profits” when price reflects new data, and how to adapt when that occurs is bad ass.
Keep up the great posts.
