    What indicators do big-time professional futures traders use?

    The more I pay attention to the charts, the more I find Fibonacci Retracements as a great entry point....there seems to always be a bounce at the 38, or if that fails, the 50%. The trick is finding the base to measure the run...still working on that, but i think the big money has buys on the...

    Taking 410K to 4million by Year End 2010

    sometimes the best trades are the ones you dont make. Market is not cooperating, and even the best are getting hammered. Down 120 one day, up 260 another is not a normal market. good luck Neke!

    I always buy at the top!

    First, great post!!! Anyone that has not have the same issues are lying to themselves. Trading is 90 percent mental.

    Opening a New Futures Account

    I understand your points, but if the person is trying to get into futures because he doesnt have the required $25k minimum for stocks, he really should be willing to trade the neccessary contracts based on r/r.

    Getting set up with TS in U.S. ...

    Why are their fees considered high? I pay $1.00 per option contract, and $1 per 100 shares of a stock, with a 8 dollar max charge. is this high? Think or swim is $5 minimum per trade.
