Hi TRS, I started out as casual trader. Then i realised that you need to treat this serious and like a business (not a hobby). So I quit my job and took it full on for a year. The results were ok, but not consistent enough to live off confidently. So I got back to getting a job, and try to...

Thanks Runningbear for you valuable input. I will definitely take a look into ESTX50. When does Europ open/close? Yeah. definitely have seen less daylight.. Hence looking at ways to change that. My only concern is that I've been taught certain methodology for the ES, so not sure if that...

Hi m22au, Thanks for you prompt reply. Can be more specific about US equity index futures, European equity index futures that you trade. How long do you hold for? Margins, broker etc.. Where abouts in Aus are you from? Do you trade full time? Cheers, Mike

Hi Bolter, Could you tell me more about what you do. I.e instrument, time frame, position hold etc... I checked your profile and it says you're hedge fund manager and location is singapore. However your say you're from west oz. :) How long have you been trading. My ultimate goal is...

Hi Pinozi, Do you mean like covered calls, condors, bull put spreads and the like? Is that on the US market still? I would love to know more. How often would you place and hold a trade? I have tried options as well before and have considered going back in future. Cheers, Mike

Thanks guys for you prompt response. I have been successfully trading the ES and YM emini contracts for a few years now and would love to be able to change to position trading or something different (like bolter said - trade til mid) but the US session doesn't open til 11:30pm. That sounds like...

Hi Fellow Traders, I'm glad I found this forum as I can share my thoughts and opinions with like minded individuals. I am from Sydney Australia and would just like to know if there are any Aussie Day traders here trading the US markets. I would love to know how you manage your time. I...
