I wrote this about a year ago: The Theory behind the Turtle Trading System - my interpretation of why the Turtle Trading system should work and continue to work for ever.

Don't forget that today is a Fed Day. Fed Day Video - shows 5 minute bar chart with MP chart developing during the previous Fed Day at 90x speed. 96% probability that rate hike will be 0.25 and 4% probability that it will be 0.50. If the latter then we see rates at 5% !! Be safe and...

thanks guys - much appreciated - neither came up with the one i remember but one of them was pretty close - thanks again for your help :) some very impressive setups there.

Somebody posted an image of this enormous array (bank) of flat panel monitors and I've been searching the forum for it but can't find it. Anybody know the link? Or better at searching than me?

What is the typical cost of trading 1 SP versus 5 ES?

Apex: Have you had a chance to look at the results from this? I must confess that I haven't had time to run this test yet... A week on Monday is another one of these days. Anybody out there run this test?

Two new videos showing Single Print formation on 28 Feb and then same Single Prints filling in and the market action around the Single Prints the following day. Single Print action in Market Profile Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback on the last set of videos. Let me know what...

No I don't. Reason: Because CME are changing NQ size from .5 to .25 I think that CME are testing this change as a pre-cursor to changing the ES from .25 to .1. If that happens then ES will be protected.

Don't forget rollover tomorrow! Top Tip: Change your symbols on both charts and trading platforms NOW before you forget and then no hassle or rush tomorrow before the market opens.

2.5 years later and Eurex US hasn't been as successful as everyone thought it would be...

To create? To record or to generate? To record the video I used Camtasia. To generate the bars and MP at 90x speed I used eSignal in playback mode with the DVATool loaded. (The parameters on the DVATool were modified for the video to just show the DVAH and DVAL and graphic.)

You're welcome xxxskier - thanks for the kind words.

I think that the CBOT's new big DJIA future is another nail in the big S&P500 futures coffin. CBOT are obviously not trying to take liquidity away from their $5 and $10 DJIA futures but rather trying to lure business from the CME and so their big future may tempt some big S&P500 proxy funds.

Thanks Ragincajun. Yes they are - I sent you a PM with the details.

I've created 5 Market Profile Video Playbacks from the ES for this past week. Each playback is for 1 day of the week and shows a 5 minute bar chart developing side by side with a Market Profile graphic running at 90X speed. This allows you to see the development of a Market Profile graphic and...

You should be able to execute that more easily in the ES - you can see the size bid/ask at 5 levels below/above current bid/ask and can immediately see how much the market can handle and what your fill will be if you execute at market.

sheridan - you bring up a good point - hard to say if people are being realistic or manipulating what they want - but then I am biased in saying that because my calculations show 2008 and I obvsiously don't want to be wrong - I have my ego on the line! :D In a chat with someone this...

I took the 5 to 1 ratio into account in my calculations. In other words I divided the number of contracts trade inthe ES by 5 before comparing them. I compared the value and not the volume (# of contracts) between the ES and SP. The ES trades 25 times the number of contracts that the SP...

I don't know any Spoos pit traders to ask that question to - unfortunately... If there are any pit traders reading this then please let us know...

Ultimately when it comes to making money out of the markets people are going to vote with their paychecks and go to where they can make the most money. If the ES shows more money then the Spoos will be abandoned. Here's a question that I don't know the answer to and would love to hear the...
