Hey, Started a site for guys. Would like to get some feedback. The site is www.okupy.com. Good place to waste time while waiting for set-ups. Thanks, Roy

I am looking to get a group of intermediate to expert futures traders together in an office in downtown Manhattan. I trade indexed and commodity futures. The office I currently work at rents out desks for a reasonable price and supplies computers to traders. I hope to create laid back...

I mostly look at the ER2. My best set up is looking at the Difference (DIFF on the charts i guess) and watching for trend changes on the 1 minute. The Diff is the difference btw the moving average and the MACD on your chart. I enter if there is a new low after a series of higher highs or a...

Hey all, I trade the er2 (or tf now) and sp500 using mostly the macd indicator. I mostly look at the 1 minute and 5 minute charts. I keep it simple, so I am guessing there are other traders who have a similar style. If there are a couple of us, I would love to start a chat group. Please...

Take a lot of breaks. Walking away from your screens every 30 mins or after couple good trades is a good habit I think. Also, have a tight daily loss limit. Don't lose more than you think you can make in a day. Everyone (I know) overtrades sometimes. Don't kill yourself over it. roy

Hey, We talk a lot about entering trades, but I think exiting trades are probably just as important. I was wondering how people exit trades on winners. Does it usually hit a stop you moved up? Is there an indicator that works especially well? Do you use one time frame get in and one to get...

c is a great Risk Reward stock. Buy now, sell at $18.50 or $26. Financials have a chance to go on a real run, I think people would really pour some money into the mkt if oil drop to $120.

I think its tough because you really have to pay attention to how your system performs in different volatilities. I had a system that kicked ass for the ER2 in 2006 and early 2007, then died when vol picked up in July and August of 2007. For all those guys that backtest only a few weeks or...

the ice is in no hurry to increase volume. I know people who explored market making for the er2 on the ice and the ice is not giving much of an insentive for them. I'm extremely worried because I don't really think the people in charge there know what they are doing or what kind of product they...

anyone see a head and shoulders patterns forming in the ER2 that they are going to trade?
