    Schaefer's Journal of Nikkei 225 Mini.

    Hi folks, I have decided to start a journal on the Nikkei 225 Mini, which is traded on the Osaka Exchange. The main purpose of this journal is, because I need help in understanding how to trade this instrument. The Nikkei Mini is a very different animal, when compared to the US eminis. First...

    IB HSI futures position data was incorrect- now i'm screwed. any recourse?

    I'm sorry to hear. Do you think it would of helped, if you had used a third party API, instead of IB's Book Trader? For example, Button Trader, or Zeroline Trader? Good luck, Schaefer

    Question futures trading

    My good deed of the week for the community. It is a common misnormer among ET community, that the YM is suitable for the futures beginners. It is far from the truth. YM, even though, the tick size is only $5 per tick, can be extremely noisy. Unless, you're an experienced trader with...

    Trading Environment on Portable Hard Drive

    Same here, but QuoteTracker instead of Sierra. I also back it up on the actual harddrive, before unpluging the flash drive. So I always have a back up copy, at any given time. I can't afford to lose my "Super 3 MA Crossover System" to some computer moster :D Schaefer

    Open letter to Baron

    Mark, you'd be sorely missed, and a great loss for ET. Thank you very much for your free contributions in the past. Luckily, I know where to find you on the other forum. I'll talk to you there, I guess. Take care, Schaefer

    Addresses on 1099

    That's alright. I've been using Turbo Tax for many years, and no, I never change the address. I always enter the actual address on my W2. In fact, I just let Turbo Tax trasfer all the info from previous year, to current return. Schaefer Edit: I should let you know, that I hold multiple...

    Addresses on 1099

    I can't speak for the 1099, but one of the W2s I get every year for the last 10 years, has my old address on it. Since I personally pick it up every year, I never bothered to change the old address with my employer. I've been filing my returns this way for many years, and never a word from...

    NQ/ER2 vs. ES

    Hello SpecterX, it's all in the eye of the beholder, what may seem like clear price action to you may be a bunch of non-sense to another trader, and vice a versa. What matter to you most is what you see, how you feel about it, and most importantly, if it would suit your personality, strategy...

    ER2 journal

    Hi Eric, you may get more constructive responses, if you actually post charts, mark your entries/exits, and a little bit about your reasonings. As it stands now, most of the profitable traders aren't going to take their time, plot your time and sales on their charts, analyze, and critique the...
