Hi everyone, This is probably a stupid question but I will ask anyway. I currently have a futures trading account where most of my money is and I trade micro currencies and such. There is a few stock trading strategies I'd like to try but the commissions have to be extremely low for it to...

About 5-10 trades per day, most of which during ETH on the ES.

My first foray into futures I used ninjatrader and I was having glitches with trading during ETH. Apparently it's not supported with my current broker setup. I was getting pretty used to the program, but the glitches made it unusable. I'm looking into Sierra trader now and I was curious if...

So, funny story. I decided to try Ninjatrader because my methods are pretty simple to execute and it seemed like the best deal for what I needed. It has Basic charting and low fees per contract (my broker separates platform contract fees and their own) which are my most important...

I'm sure the answer is somewhere in this 1700 page thread, but forgive me for just asking it direct. Is the FTT suppose to be on stocks and futures or just stocks? Futures technically don't have a value (or at least it's a different sort of value) and stocks you actually own, so I would...

Unlike Nysestocks I'm not trying to warn anyone or act like I know something special or that I am something special. Trading is a competition. I was merely posting out of frustration that I wasted so much time reading this thread. I figured I'd just point out the OBVIOUS contradictions that...

Alright, out of curiousity I read the first 100 pages of this thread and I couldn't take it anymore. There was so much nonsense on here. The further I read the worse it got. Was anything ever answered on this thread or was it just a waste of everyone elses time as much as mine? Why start...

The difference is I've always traded stocks. I start with a small position (maybe 10-20% of my portfolio) and add to positions going my way. With ES it's highly leveraged. Just 1 contract is more than the cash in my account so I'm just wondering if stops ever get blown past, that's all. I...

I'm not looking to hold on to a losing position with an irrational market. I never let a position go past a stop I set before I enter a trade. What I am worried about is things out of my control. Fed announcements (although I can avoid those), natural disasters, terrorist attacks, etc...

I don't have charts that go that far back with intraday data. Is there any way you could post it? I'm just looking to see worse case scenarios. ES is a lot of leverage and I want to be prepared for all the things that can happen. I'll end up trading the M6E for the most part but I'd like...

I would assume there are some horror stories out there with price blowing past stops. I'd like to hear them to know some worst case scenarios. I'm still trading the ninjatrader ES demo until I get a feel for how everything goes.

Hi everyone, I've primarily been an swing trader in stocks and am switching over to Eminis. Since I'm going to play the ES for short term trades and M6E for longer term trades I need to understand the risks of the short term ES trades as it's unfamiliar territory for me. What I'm curious...
