This is a screenshot I took of my paper trading yesterday. The platform is called ninjatrader and it's awesome because you can trade right from the chart and drag the lines around to manage the trade if you want.
It also let's you set the stop and target you want to use before the trade starts. I use a stop of 30 (ticks) and a target of 12. With a expectancy of 75%, this is a profitable strat.
I only trade the calm 2 hours AFTER the busy new york market and BEFORE the asian market begins. This time fits my strat nicely and I like the pace and calm flow of the market at this time.
As u can see in the pic, I traded 4 times. The blue arrows show when I got in a trade and the pink arrows are when I hit my target and got out. btw, this is a chart of the MES (micro s&p 500) on the 5 min timeframe. The vertical blue line shows when the market opened.
