Scalping a sideways futures market on the 1-minute chart is one of the fastest ways to stress test your strategy objectively, and the discipline you build through that process is what separates traders who survive from those who blow up.

Risk Management Notes:
Overnight gaps in options can be brutal. Size your positions so a 20% gap doesn't end your account. Use defined risk trades like spreads when possible. Always know your max loss before you sleep.

Concluding Thought:
The best traders don't predict the market. They control themselves.

Maybe the problem isn't your trading plan. Maybe it's the overpriced platform that can't handle the market you trade. How much have those flashy features actually cost you in missed opportunities and bad fills?

Maybe the goal isn't to be right. Maybe it's to be less wrong than everyone else. How much money are you losing just to protect your ego?
