in order of number of trades: es, euro stoxx, ten year notes. at all levels of volatility. stoxx and notes are for divergences. if you trade the right levels, es is a piece of cake and runs the show.
it's about risk. theses two products are considered risk products and are generally divergent from the dollar. however, es and cl also diverge from eachother once in a while. especially when oil gets two high and might be a further drag on the economy.
no idea. i trade futures. sold 1220 area in es and missed buying just above the previous close. i designate areas before the market opens and if they trade they trade. i'm done now. only trade 5-9 am pacific
