Previously I have mentioned that I am papertrading the dow e-mini with some success, but as you all know paper trading basically doesn't tell you much. Anyone have experience with auditrack.com? For $50 I can have a month of simulated trading, they say that they are identical to having a...

http://bullhaven.tripod.com/excel/YM-sim.xls My maximum account drawdown from one days close to another is $584. (This was caused by having too loose of stops on a winner). Maximum capital loss on a contract was $125. I am updating this spreadsheet daily. thanks everyone for your help.

I lost at paper trading the NQ... way too volatile for my system of controlling loss in my timeframe. I just got whipped around, and even trend days gains weren't all that shit hot either.

only way I'll know if I am good is when the profits are banked. Opening an account with IB june 1, when they accept canadian clients. Paper trading, while it doesn't necessarily prove that a method is good, definitely will prove a method is bad. If you can't make money on paper with a...

at 10085, on break of obvious downtrend. I seem to have a handle on the dow, and since I don't daytrade, the liquidity should not be a problem for me.

he can rule the freakin jail!

Here is my story... I want to start trading futures. I have studied the Dow index for a year now, and have developed a swing trading system that is returning approx $2K per month per $5 dow emini contract. System features: 1. Long or short. Doesn't matter, don't try to predict, just...

I have been swing trading the DOW cash index on paper for awhile now, generating usually 1 but sometimes 2-3 trades a day, holding over night. A couple questions I have are: 1. Is the DOW index a good proxy for the $5 dow e-mini, should I start paper trading the actual contract? 2...

I guess I didn't check with the brokers first because I am a newbie and don't know any better. Thanks for the responses.

Do you have to pay any margin interest when you hold a futures contract overnight, like you would with stocks bought on margin?

Def, Is the fee schedule going to remain the same for canadian clients?

Props to IB for putting up with the canadian regulator bullshit. I am telling all my canadian trading buddies about you guys.

http://bullhaven.tripod.com The site is running a papertrading exercise trading the dow $5 multiplier contract.

Can anyone recommend a good futures broker that will accept canadian clients? Not for daytrading, I plan on swing trading.

I am thinking about getting started in futures. I did a search on google about beginning in futures, and I found this post. Does anybody know about enetspeculation? They say they guarantees stop loss fills. From: Narcoz Subject: Re: Futures for beginner Newsgroups...

What about buy stop orders on DIA... if I want to enter a 50 share position on DIA, can I do so with a buy stop order?

Well, this is still in the planning stages, but I will wait and see what the liquidity on the $5 multiplier is like. I really prefer the dow, but I will start NQ/ES papertrading and see how that goes. Thanks all.

Stopped out at 10412. For a net gain of 0. Not likely to re-enter today, but buy stop at 10450, sell stop at 10300. So why can't I trade the big contract in the pit with interactive brokers?

Those mini sized contracts are not that liquid are they? I may have to see about trading nasdaq emini instead. I had preferred the dow because it is not as volatile.
