I'm in Tampa and trade the QM, ZS, and ZN intraday from home and office. Andrew

Macro...thanks for the idea of having separate accounts 1 long and 1 short in different ratios. I don't think it is that simple, but I can see how this can reduce risk and help one go with the flow of the market. I understand that you must know when to accumulate and stop accumulating and when...

FuturesTrader71 Sounds good, I agree but I believe scaling in works better in lower volatility and tighter ranges. I tend to do well in channels where I can scale in back and forth and price reverts to the mean. In higher volatility markets and breakouts I suffer the painfully high "heat".
