Weather didn't make it any feasible for many traders, like me, who had planned to come into town from another state.

Okay already !

I agree with you guys that 2pts in ES will relate to 4pts NQ. The main point of my comment is that it's prudent to risk only 1% of your account value. For example if your system allows you to risk 12pts when trading NQ then you need to have $25,000 in your account. One daytrading...

I'm very skeptical. I'd like to hear from people who have attended some of these "trading schools", not only marketing hype. Also let's see the account statements to back up all of these spectacular claims.

At some point in time practice makes perfect in order to achieve this unconscious state. How do you effectively practice unconscious competence with regards to trading? Simulation of the most common occurrences provides a basic plan to reach competence.

The math is very simple. Risk 1 percent. Even daytraders need only to risk 1% of their account. If your system tells you to risk 2 pts ($100) in ES then you need $10,000 to trade ES. If your system tells you to risk $250 trading NQ then you need $25,000 to trade NQ. Believe me it takes...

The way to do it is to be young at heart but have old money. :D

Yeah, how many trades per month? Acount size?

Futures and options on futures

C'mon dude, that's trading !

Try trading emini nasdaq futures, they'll change your opinion about daytrading.

I have also. Not enough action for me though. Daily range too small to daytrade. Also where in the heck to you find news on cattle. I was never able to until it was way too late.

Freebees ? Not so. You pay for all of those "freebees" with high commissions. The last I heard, commissions were in the teens !!! Although that was last year.

C'mon, give me a break ! Daytrading is still all about discipline and risk. Discipline : Keep it simple and always use stops. Risk : Only risk 1% per trade.
