I have just discovered futures, and I gotta say, I see lot of potential to gain or lose money in mini crude. Correct me if I'm wrong but the tick is .025=12.50? So I can basically turn my 25k into 100k in matter of a day or two? For example, its trading at 105, and I short it. Buy it back at...

Russell 2000 Fibonacci retracement shows resistance @ 697. Full stoch and RSI both look bearish. Enter short position tommorow. Cheers!

dtan1e, are you even a trader? Stop giving us pathetic stories just to ridicule other races. Just so you know, Indians are close when it comes to race. They stick together, they look out for each other, etc that doesn't mean they are homosexuals. Take a class in multi culture, before you...
