I was trying to GIF that bitch but I am seriously laughing so hard I could barely upload the pic !

Yes, Jesus is indeed laughing his ass off hysterically about that one !

No, what I'm saying is that in my spec account my delta directional exposure to the broad equity market index is minimal by trading system design and intent. That's one of the positives to trading properly constructed futures spreads. My 401K, on the other hand, as I said is heavily delta...

I think you'll find that most technical studies seem to make more sense and have less noise on longer time frames. Might I suggest Weekly ? As an aside, a long time ago I used to day trade using 360 minute timeframes. How 'bout that ?

I currently have on several futures spread positions in my spec account. I've been long stocks in my 401K for several years thank you very much.

ADX, ATR, and Bollinger Bands are all volatility based technical indicators. Which are an on-the-run snapshot based upon a historical sampling timeframe of your choice (unless you just use defaults which is stupid). Which is the problem. There is no predictive value in anything technical...

Gosh we must be looking at different order books. I'm looking at a Eurodollar Butterfly that is literally 15K+ best bid and 14K+ best offer - way way way more volume than any one of the three individual outright leg components best bid/offer.

I honestly can't think of a serial expiry futures contract where there isn't way more volume on the spread bid/ask (especially for the prompt month spreads) versus the flat price outright front month futures contract. The spreads are the domain of commercials, institutionals, and smart big...

DAILY WEEKLY

Sure. DAILY WEEKLY

Track them synthetic spread expressions, as you are correct the pricing on the DOM resets every day. I've got a couple hundred clients who trade these things and it works out just fine. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/cbot-treasury-exchange-spreads-primer.313384/#post-4539966

Daily and Weekly trend lines on the ES still intact. Take those out with conviction then it's time to check your boner.

I applaud your work ethic and dogged pursuit - that is a very fine attribute. One of the unfortunate side effects of the electronic markets is the dispersion of traders (the breaking apart of trading groups), the end of the open outcry pits, and the remaining futures prop firms heavily...

Wow - I honestly thought TrueType was being sarcastic ! (or I seriously hoped so)

To me, at least, there seems to be a dearth of high quality on-point trading discussion for the past few years. And when there is a really good thread going with multiple members exchanging quality trade-craft information - it seems to get constantly sniped at and eventually derailed by...

Not until you just mentioned it. Could be a great idea. Sector baskets might be more popular than SSF's. FANG might be a better source for hardcore technology momentum than NQ I suppose.

Always follow the path of pain. I learned this trading the OTC Energy Markets - but it may be apropos for this thread as well.

Is there a major US FCM that accepts Bitcoin into a regulated US futures account ?
