Just curios to see what time templates ES traders prefer to use: Pit Hours, 8:30 to 3:15 CST or Globex, 24 hours? I watch a couple of basic moving averages like 200 and 14 on the 5 minute candle chart. Results change from using Pit Hours and Globex. Any idea? Any preference?

Nobody seems interested in short squeezes. I'd like to share opinions, strategies and experiences with other traders about the subject.

1. Does anyone has ever made any money shorting a short squeeze? 2. Is going long the only way to make money during a short squeeze? When I see a short squeeze and I'm not in long I always think to wait until the market gets to a strong resistance level and then get short. I see that...

Same story different day, but now the well paid Wall Street brokers are less bullish...

I like the idea of creating a group of traders specializing in index futures. Yahoo M and AOL IM both work very well. I think even better than one of those private room. Once I tried to log on IRC with very little success.

Unemployment rate is a lagging indicator, but the fact remains that its trend is up. It wouldn't bother me if the trend would be flat.

I'm having a hard time when I watch CNBC, Bloomberg TV and listen to Wall Street brokers. How can they be so bullish? How come no one says that we are in a bad economic environment because interest rates are going down, unemployment rate going up and federeal and local governement deficits out...

With Open Interest, I mean new contracts entered. With Short Interest, the percentage of people who are short.

Does anyone look at the Open Interest and Short Interest trading the SP500 E-minis? Any recommendation on how to use these two?

Does anybody uses it? Any complaints? How does it compare to E-signal?

You say bad things about a company and you even name. Why you do not name the company that is paying you? What is the amount of the check you are getting? For how long are you going to get checks?

eSignal Fixes Daydreaming, We agree, a release is worthless if it doesn't focus on bugs just as much as features. If you are having trouble, please post on our forums so you can help us help you. A lot of times users post on Elite about a problem and then won't respond to our PMs trying to...

I like your product the way it is. However, during the past few weeks, Esignal has been freezing a lot. Much more than previously. It looks like I am not the only one experiencing this type of problems from reading the posts on this board. Please, slow down on adding new features and take...

Often prop firms rush people into trading. Prop firms only care about commission and making money in the S/T. I do not feel sorry for many prop firms going under... Their managers never wanted to be in for the long haul in the first place. Many of these managers are a bunch or cheap, lying...

Great thread. I hope traders with knowledge will keep on adding to it.

It seems that you are doing great as a trader. If you look for a job as a trader, you should look for a position offering you a good basic salary and a percentage of the profits from trading. Watch out for companies that claim to hire traders and they are actually brokers. These numerous...

I do not understand what all these people complain about. E-signal is not perfect, but its advanced charts features are very good. I use E-signal for charting and not only for data feed. I experience some problems like anybody would do with any products out in the market. I think E-signal is...

Is Don from Tradingmarkets? Why not change the name of Tradingmarkets to Tradingmarketing? I was on their site and funky faces pop-up. Why not make it a porno site?

Back when I first posted this thread, I wasn't aware of FFast Trade. It seems to be very fast because it runs on Citrix. Does this make sense? Any sound explanation?

How come Switzerland is so great and Swiss people really like to commit suicide? The highest in Europe? Behind that subjective choice, what's about its current economy? It's current crime rate? I heard very un-Swiss things happening during the past couple of years.
