    Transition to Futures

    It doesn't matter what you trade as long as you can control your emotions and have a plan to where you will risk X amount for X in return, simple as that. I would suggest finding a setup that you've tested and apply your strategy to it. If you don't have a setup or a plan, don't trade. Always...

    One of the ticker headlines was "taco bell launches morning after burrito" also "new study finds 62% of statistics are false" There are a ton of cramer spoof videos out there. This one was ok.

    X-mas Rally Officially Over: Start Shorting Tomorrow!!!

    NQ is the best short, YM and ER2 are being lifted on light volume right at the open, if 1440 on ES is taken out the rally will continue. The volume moving these markets up is hard to believe. Options exp. on friday, should be interesting with the year end.

    IWM

    I never liked ES because I could never work a bid or offer. I was looking at the volume on ER2, and it is more than YM, hasn't passed NQ or ES yet. You can see the momentum block trades on ER2, whereas ES there are so many block trades it is harder to tell. I would think XLE would be easier to...

    IWM

    I trade ER2 everyday, for about the last year. Large block trades on ER2 occur before movements in IWM. If you can make as much money consistently trading IWM as you do with other stocks, then you are a good trader. This last week has been volatile and a little scary considering the light...

    Cramer, Hedge funds, & Mass Media Market Manipulation

    I would love to go back to that day and see the front month options volume and open interest an hour before the annoucement. Next time I'm watching CNBC and see a reporter like Maria in front of the SP pits then I should pay more attention of a potential market moving news event.

    John's Intraday Market Analysis

    Well I saw a pattern in overnight futures trading on Dec 20 and 21, and I was re-thinking what the the failed support of the overnight move up meant.(what does the overnight failed gap mean) To some it up, short speculators with close stops are taken out overnight, but no new long positions are...

    Cramer, Hedge funds, & Mass Media Market Manipulation

    I found the CNBC video from May 1st. (saved in my bookmarks, one of my favorite CNBC moments this year.) How often do you see Maria giving news during the mid-day with a fed banker in front of the S&P pits???????? Dow tanks 50+pts in 6min off of Maria's news, the S&P pits roar and maria...

    What did you learn this year?

    I learned that my #1 enemy in trading is myself.(emotions) I learned that I need stops on every trade, and that I need to take more smaller losses before letting them turn into big fat losers. (as opposed to trading until I've reached an uncle point, where you can't take any more pain) I...

    Anyone getting Raped on NYSE Market orders?

    I know what you mean, especially when YM is moving. Fragmenting orders sounds like a good idea, or maybe just trade nasdaq stocks.

    John's Intraday Market Analysis

    Today looks bullish. If ES holds 1437.5 and we get a breakout above 1440, and breakout on ym above 12566. Sox looks ok, but TXN needs to breakout above 29.1 for a good rally. ER2, 793.3 new intraday support. Market looks like it's filling some gaps right now, and then we will see what happens...

    John's Intraday Market Analysis

    I've done very little trading the last 2 weeks on futures because I've been watching new indicators to learn more about the events that occur near economic news, breakouts, tops, and bottoms. I've been watching block trades on the futures and their corresponding ETF's. I've been watching block...

    John's Intraday Market Analysis

    I was short overnight and took some heat, but it worked out this morning. Unfortunately I covered too soon and was then too scared to enter again from the extreme volatility. I put in a buy cover on 1 of my contracts and by the time I was filled ER2 had dropped another .3pts(but they gave me the...
