I have no problem posting a screen shot of my layout, just not sure how to do it. Any ideas? Dominic

Does anyone have a screen shot or a link to a futures layout? I have 6 19" monitors and currently trade through CyberTrader. I haven't been able to see what others use for TA and the layouts that work for others. I would have no problem sharing my layout if anyone is interested, just curious...

I would like to thank everyone who did contribune today with different posts to my original question; I appreciate all the input even if we dont see eye to eye. I'm new to the futures and understand that I have a lot to learn. Hopefully with the least amount of $$$.

"So if you don't believe in TA, how will you trade short term on the e-minis?" Quite simple: I'll just listen to everyone on this board and follow them; they have it all figured out? Right?

I don't understand why I'm getting criticized because I feel comfortable trading 5 contracts and accepting a $500 loss if I get stopped out? Whats the difference of trading 5K shares of CSCO or the QQQ's compared to eminis? A .10 cent move is either + or - $500.00 which I'm used too. 20...

No doubt there are others that post on this board that are by far more intelligent traders/individuals than I am. One common theme that I find is that these guys are forever running tests and testing models of trading software and think that they have or will create the Holy Trading Trader...

$2.50 per side per contract.

The reason why I'm using e-minis is because my broker, CyberTrader, has just introduced futures but only offers e-minis of S&P and Nasdaq 100.

I said I plan on trading 5 contracts and plan on excepting a 2.0 point loss ($500) from S&P eminis. My original question was whats the best e mini to trade with the above info. I have gotten just about every other comment or advice yet the question still remains. I posted what I plan on...

Every response to my question has been dripping with fear; is that to say that most of you here don't make any $$$ trading futures? 5 contracts is not that much too trade and I have already defined that taking a 2 point hit or $500.00 is fine with me. I have taken plenty of $500 hits in the...

Thanks for advice. I plan on having a 2 point stop loss in place; do you think thats too tight of a stop? The more I have been watching and studying the E minis, the more I ask why I have been wasting my time on equities over the last couple of years.

I think you have me mistaken for someone else. I thought this site was for professional traders, not another Yahoo message board.

Thanks for the encouragement. If I keep a tight stop loss -2.0 points, I can live with a $500 hit (excluding comms). No different than having a stop on equities. How many contracts do you trade at a time?

Going to start trading futures slowly and would like any advice what would be my best future to trade. I plan on starting out with 5 contracts. Thanks for any input. Dominic

I have been trading equities full time for approx 4 years and thinking about trying out the S&P 500 e minis, seeing that my broker offers the service (CyberTrader). So whats the major advance of ES to equity or options? I'm sure that much has to do with the type of trader and goals. I...

I was thinking about opening an account with Greentree and was wondering if anyone has any pros/cons with the firm. I have currently been using Cybertrader for the last 3 years since I started trading full time and am pretty much satisfied with them, but would like to have increased buying...

Hardrock: You seem to come off like an idiot. Go back 14 pages and read the original question posted. The poster was asking for opinions on what to do with $500K sitting around; nothing wrong with asking for wisdom and counsel. My post was just an opinion on what someone could do with proper...

If you have $400K just sitting around not being productive, consider placing your funds (start out with 250K) with a hedge fund manager. Your funds will be placed to work and probably will be earning more than just sitting in your account. I guess your next step would be to get you foot in a...
