I make a living by trading. Believe it or not, but Al Brooks was very helpful to me.

Can only speak about my self. No idea of working setups, miserable risk - management. My account got hammered one time. That was pain. About 8 Years ago. Today, I'm humble and follow strict my rules. One of them is to honor my stops. I'm very patient to wait /find reliable setups. No more...

In case you consider Thailand, you could apply for Multiple entry tourist visa in your home country. With that you could stay almost 9 months.

If you re-enter the country just before the 5 year ends, you get another year. In total 6 years.

Actually is 500k Baht. Too late anyway now.

What about the US? I'm a member of the EU. How can I stay long term on the US? So far I know it's not easy.

I stay here since more than 8 years. No visa exempts, no Ed visa. Only on tourist visa. Unfortunately now I have to leave the country every 3 months to apply an new visa on a neighbor country. Before I had to leave every 6 months.

I stay for years in Thailand as a tourist and make my living by ES trading. No need work permit for that. However, I plan to go to europe this year because of better Internet connection no visa hassles, and better time zone for the US market.

I'm still with TDA. Even they lower my fees, I still pay a lot. But I'm neither an American Citizen nor an American resident. So my options to choose another broker is limited. I mainly trade ES and CL. Rarely options or shares.

With how much volume?

Nothing wrong with bracket orders as long you know how it works and how to implement into your personally trading style. I do that a lot, before I go to sleep. Scalping while I sleep. Love it.

Hello. This topic touched me, because I was in the same dilemma. In the meanwhile in able to make profits consistently. Mostly I do scalp e-mini for 1-2 handles. My risk is never greater than 1/1.5. Win ratio is about 85-90%. I only master very few setups. I learned to be patient till these...

I got it. Some see the ATH at 2119.5. And this is the all time high. Others believe the ath is at 2184.25 (2185 today globex). That's on the current contract. Now we could argue, which is the real all time high. Some people use continuous charts, other only from the active contract.

Yes, but i speak only about the E-mini futures. What was your all time high?

With ATH i meant All time high. With cash market i meant the regular trading hours. Not Globex. So, my all time high on e-mini is at 2191.50. But i know, other users with other platforms argue, the all time high is at 2184.25.

Hi Thinkorswim shows me the ATH at 2191.50 (cash market). Other brokers shows the ATH at 2184.25. I wonder why this difference. I use as symbol /ES. Same result when "Adjust for contract changes" is enabled. May be other TOS users could confirm my observation.
