Ddunbar, Your usage of S&P cash to trade ES futures can be applies to currencies. Use reliable forex data to generate currency futures entries. Sccz97, I trade on short term basis anywhere from 1 min to usually no more than 1 hour. Spread is very important to me. With futures you...

Ddunbar, If you chose to stick with spot, it is fine. I am a bit lost in your logic around contract expiring time, it seems that you trade forex on intra day basis (I trade intra day myself), so why do you care? I personally do not trade the last day at all. When I traded forex, the only pair...

Hi Ddunbar, I said they tick the same, not that their value is the same. There is a premium in price, but we as traders do not really care about it because they move in unison. Take any indicator and put it on both, and you will see that it will look the same. Make sure you do it on charting...

Hi Bolter, I would also be interested. I’ll send you an e-mail. I live in US and currently trade DAX futures. Looking into Nikkei Singapore futures (cme is closed around my evening time and their volume is not as big as Nikkei). Regards, redduke

No, it is not. I would say that forex is one of the most dangerous products because it is not regulated. In any case, before trading a product live you need to know all of its characteristics. They tick the same.

This just proves the point which I trying to make on few threads. Unless, someone has a specific/weird reason to trade spot fx (some weird currency cross), CME currency futures are the way to go. They tick identically to spot fx, and you have a centralized/regulated exchange where you can trade...

I work in NYC too, and was in the city that horrible day. Several weeks later I was helping redcross and was at ground zero. It was exremely painful to see what became of WTC with your own eyes. But asking a question is not a crime, or at least I thought it was not.

Hello Everybody, I watched and video and read through some of the posts on this thread. Even after watching the video, I still find it extremely difficult to believe that our government would do something like that. The cover up alone would be too much to handle. There is an old saying "What...

DAX is pretty good for day trading.

I just got an e-mail from CME. I did not expect something like this happening too soon. If their spreads will be realistic, it is going to be THE PLACE to trade spot fx. CME and Reuters to Create FXMarketSpace – The World's First Centrally-Cleared, Global FX Marketplace CME is proud...

Hi Pabst, What do you mean by Eurex being only a step away? Thanks, redduke

How reliable is scmagic? You know, garbage data in, garbage data out.

Hi Pasternak, You can get it from the exchange. it is 300 EUR for every year. here is the link: https://datashop.deutsche-boerse.com/epages/datashop.storefront/44560d14003e9fe8271bac1477430649/Product/View/2002-y Regards, redduke

My first fascination with trading came around when I was 12-13. I read a book by Theodore Dreiser, "Financier". It was many years ago, in a country where a speculation was crime punished by 3 or more years in prison. I could not get much info about the markets then, and over the time my interest...

I am very interested in ES. I can not trade it now (only trade DAX due to the time when I can trade). But I do a lot of tick replays (thanks e-signal), and with 1 mil contracts traded a day, I see tons on opportunities.

I can not trade DAX during US hours, so not sure what hapenned, but this morning was phenomenal. I got 42 points. The only better morning on my record was March 8th. Regards, redduke

Cheese, I am not sure of you read Market Wizards, if not, I highly recommend. As you will read it, you will see that most of these very successful traders had a lot of troubles in the beginning, but were able to over come them. What would happen of us humans if we would give up at the first...

Hi Cheese, It has nothing to do with mind freezes. Trading on very sort time frame requires undivided attention, and it is extremely hard not to loose focus for hours at a time. That is why I posted my question to see maybe someone else went through this and to get their advices. I already...

Hi Mark, Really good points, I appreciate it. I will follow up of some of your ideas. You are absolutely right. I live in New York, but trade European market, but unfortunately this is the only way I can trade right now. I have 9-5, and can not quite it until I build my grub stake. I can...

I do not think it is possible, and I am very experienced in developing software. To this date, I have not seen a single fully automated system that constantly generates profits. There could be some out there, but I do not see how this can be done. The best way I can describe what I am doing is...
