if trading ~1k RT per month, you can get ~$3.78 per RT. then you can apply membership to cut down your fees ~$1.40 per RT by paying $700/month for leasing a seat. $3.78 - $1.40 = $2.38 + ($700/1k) = $3.08 per RT, thats about $3080 per month / ES ~250 ticks

i understand there're times we need to sit tight & ride the bumpy trend. but there're times we need to tighten the trail, and there're times we need to stop & reverse. enter at wholesale price, exit at retail price, i guess thats all we're trying to do. good luck ;)

?? :O i was on the long side....

Hi, Am sorry to hear this but am thinking maybe it'll be better psychologically if you could go & get a job 1st, at least to pay for your monthly bill & your family expenses. i can see you're so eager to be successful in trading to prove yourself, but i think the problem is, its a marathon...

seems like your trading instrument has been changed to ES. missed that big run, i trade only 8am-10.30am US time (am from Singapore, local time 8pm-10.30pm) ;)

Hi, Saw from Velocity futures: X_TRADER Subscription (One Exchange) Qualifying Exchange Member $125/month Wish to understand this $500 discount for exchange member is only valid as Velocity customers or all xtrader users? as i cant see this info from other brokers...thanks.

i've never looked at eustoxx50 before but dax. just wondering its range & movement similar to ES? i can see its daily volume is quite thick as ES...

couldnt agree more, i was trading TF but hit the wall when i tried to increase size. ES range is much smaller which makes the comm. number looks big, but i guess we'll have to live with it...

:D:D no comment, leave it to you guys ;)

why not trading 6E? the daily size is bout 150k contracts should be liquid enough for most people.

really?? :O i doubt the spread of spot in real-time will vary which some fx broker may not allow you to place tight stop (they have the min distance needed to place stop right?), & even if u can do it, the sudden increase in spread will hit you though there's actually not a tick change seen in...

am surprised, you're not trading spot forex but fx futures right?

Hi, Wish to ask several questions regarding the tax status of a non-US citizen (with W8BEN tax exempted status) after obtaining CME individual membership. Thanks.

Hi, do you obtain the CME ECM membership for your prop trading firm?

Hi, Sorry for posting another question, its related to W8BEN. Currently am residing in Singapore with W8BEN US tax exempted status, however if i apply CME individual membership, will this affect my US tax exempted status? Anyone has similar experience? Thanks.

i thought we were discussing bout TF...

I tried last night (US morning session) putting on larger TF position but slippage is the real problem as what we said, even though few tens were sitting there, they got pull-off before i got executed. Anyway, switch gear to ES now, spent few hours reanalyze the market structure & rewrite a new...

Hi, How bout foreigner? As am currently exempted from paying capital gain tax (W8BE), if i have to pay for the tax with cme membership, the comm savings number might not be good enough to justify.

yes...looking at the T&S, i think its real hard to fill anything >7 size, sometimes it moves 3T with just 3-5 size. when i 1st started out, i thought TF would be a great candidate since i can grab quite huge total ticks/month with range trade style, but this comes with the expense of size...
