We are getting way off topic here. This was a post about swing trading and the better mental state I believe it offers. Trading vs working a regular job. That’s a whole other story.

not too sure I would share this failure with the world if I was this youngster

I decided to take a Swing trade on NQ on Monday.. @7313... closed it out at yesterday's close @7431... GEEZ, I had no idea what would happen today, I was just thrilled to capture a great profit. BUT...... that is not the important part. What is important is the MAJOR difference in my...

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see that happening... I am a better trader on the short side... one thing I think drives us up is the massive monthly inflows to Equity mutual funds via corporate savings plans in the US....

for 3 days now in a row we will close very close to the 9:30AM EST open for NQ... Go look at a daily chart and you will see that occurred for 3 days in a row on 05/25.... we were at 6960...and then we go for 500+ points... . We have been making higher highs and higher lows now since...

yes... I want the leverage of Futures

Yes yes.... I have finally come to grips with the fact that day trading and being flat in Futures at the close is not for me. I also, do not believe it generates any greater gains than a more swing type trading. Holding for days to months. I just ran NQ for 2018.... just buy and roll the...

well,,, I am just thinking this out... I am sure at this point that day trading is not going to work for me. I sure have put in a ton of effort, just doesn't work for me.

HMMM... I have thought about a simple 15 day Moving Average... if it closes for the day below the MA I sell,,,, not looking to go short,,, wait for it to close above MA again and go long it is trading but certainly not day trading,,,,which in over 7 years plus of active trading has just not...

Does anyone know if the Index Leveraged funds go to cash when things turn against the fund??? or do they just stay Long or Short depending on the strategy

I have taken time off from trading to regroup. I found out that I really like the way it is to not have to watch every little wiggle during the day for NQ / ES / TF/ YM... We all know there is a very solid Long bias in place. When I look at my performance, and even look at performance of...

This would be done with my Interactive Brokers account... I cannot figure out how much $ I tie up to short an option. so lets say I short XYZ at $.20... so that is $20 USD if I was going long. This will not be a Debit/Credit spread. How much $ do I tie up to Short this Naked? with no...

Yes I have... My method is a momentum play Long or Short... yes the strategy works... definitely takes some getting used to thinking in terms of .01 moves

Anyone have comments on trading Crude vs Index futures... I have not done crude in over a year.... very frustrated with the indexes ES / NQ / TF / YM..... looking for a change

Yeah @slugar... I am a rockstar in SIM... it just does not always work with real money... I just gave up all my months gains on thurs, fri and today.... of course I KILLED it yesterday... I need consistency

I think I am done with NQ... long hard month for me, the volatility on NQ is not something I think I will ever overcome without humongous stops (like 20 points) and I cannot do that. Back to ES , where I was a few years ago. anyone have thoughts / comments ??

Question---- I have a IB account... they do not offer any of the platforms I am seeking... is there a way to get those working with a IB account??

ok

I need a broker that offers one of these platforms... and has some decent customer service ... 1. Meta Trader 4 2. Meta Trader 5 3. Tradingview

Is it just me or does everyone have better results on the short side compared to the long? And I can’t give you the math behind this next statement but it sure seems so much easier when I’m shorting. I trade the index futures and they go down so much faster than up. Comments. ???
