Wrong?? Not me, never.......but I find everyone else is out of step quite often. Stosh

Good observations.....I agree, but I've only been trading ES about 8 mos. It is sort of a hobby for me, but I find it very fascinating. Thanks, Stosh

Thanks......the short side does seem to be working better..for now. Stosh

LOL I know.......just wanted to let him get some practice. I just switched from long to short. What do you think? Stosh

What do you think ES will do tonight and why? I'm losing right now......need some help. Stosh

I don't do much TA, but I do refer to IB's line charts. What are these yellow pointers (arrowheads) that are all over my charts and how do I get rid of them? Thanks, Stosh

If you go by all the TV news, California real estate is a disaster. However, I take most news reports with a grain of salt.......don't know who to believe, though. Lots of times people see what they want to see. Stosh

IB charges $4.80 total round trip. That is their bundled rate....I think unbundled might be a little cheaper if you trade a lot. Stosh

How is it that an experienced trader like you only this month decided to join ET?

All things considered, they offer great value. There are a lot of things wrong with my wife that I have been trying to fix over the last 40 years......I'll keep trying and I'm not leaving. Stosh

Seems like people are more skeptical than they were a year or so ago. Stosh

Tasteless. :mad:

There used to be a guy named Steve who worked for IB and would address such things here on ET frequently. Haven't seen his posts in quite a while.....probably got overwhelmed. Stosh

Thanks, Tony, for the great post. Stosh

I just noticed your question was "Who typically trades ES after hours?" I really don't know where the bulk of the trades come from. I hope there is someone on this forum who knows if it is mostly individuals or if there is much interest from hedge funds, foreign banks, any big traders. I...

Where's Charlie Gasparino? I don't watch cnbc all the time, but he used to be on a lot......haven't seen him in a while. Did he get canned or something? Stosh

Night trading ES is a lot different since you obviously don't have any movement in the underlying S & P index to watch. Of course, the Asian and European markets have their influence in turn but they definitely are not determinant. In my opinion, we are all guessing what will happen in the...

I don't know for sure but I'd bet that the LONG-TERM successful 10% of traders know a little something about economics, politics, foreign affairs, and follow the news......not just the charts. Stosh

Good point. It has gotten to where I can't trust the trades window or any of the P & L columns on TWS.....and it take a few minutes for it to show up and retrieve it from trade confirmations under acct mgt. Sometimes if you reboot the errors will correct. Stosh

Makes sense to me. I've been trading ES with an occasional commodity trade.....made my first currency trade last night ....$200 profit on JPY future...got lucky. Stosh
