Lots of volatility both ways with Trump talking about releasing the petroleum reserves. Options premiums are pretty ballooned....but I would only look to sell vertical spreads, probably both ways. Don't have the stomach or desire to sell any naked premium.......

The big question is where is crude going to open in 50 minutes and the type of price action/ volatility we will see here shortly......

Monthly chart.

I wouldn't recommend it..... But how's your trading thus far? Keep a trading journal of your trades and profit and loss for the day (whether you drink or not) and I'm sure you'll have a better take if it helps you are not.

We actually offer the same service, called Echo Trading. We just started about 10 months ago. If you are a good trader and can show results, followers will come but it takes time, it is not "overnight". Perfectna has a great technology to actually make the "mimicking of the trades" very clean...

At the end of each year you should receive a 1099B form from the clearing firm where your account is located with your profit/loss for that year. You would usually incorporate that 1099B tax form with your other taxes for that given year. I'm not a tax adviser so you may want to get an...

What I've told many of my clients and trying to trade through your emotions is to create trading rules for yourself. Whether it is setting a daily loss limit in your strategy and absolutely sticking to that loss limit. Creating a time frame in which you trade and being able to step away from...

Good points @Guassian - I asked my colleague, John Thorpe, ex floor trader on the CBOT for his input and here it is below: Fundamental factors such as Bond Sales, Central Bank intervention, Central Banker comments and large price swings in Global Equity to name a few, can all have impacts on...

Yes the Denali Exchange Data Feed with Sierra Charts shows a full depth of market. We just set up a client that needed a full depth of market as well . Denali Exchange Data Feed provides 500 levels of depth data. Here is more information on the subscription...

We have an option calculator in our E-Futures platform that will calculate the SPAN margins for diff. options strategies etc.

Rithmic will provide you with the full book and sierra also has their own data feed which will do the same. CQG is excellent in my opinion but if you are looking for heatmaps and order flow analysis, you will need the full book.

Leigh, you are absolutely right! We have more than a few clients using Motivewave with diff. connections and I have 100% satisfaction rate from these clients. We offer a demo and are very happy with MotiveWave as well as other platforms i did not mention. Like I said it comes down to specific...

I agree that bonds right now are mostly rate news and econ numbers but I wanted to share that I got a sell signal on the weekly chart last night. Will be interesting to watch....

First weekly sell signal I got in a couple of years on gold...will be interesting to watch as the longer term unfolds.

Lean hogs offer some interesting spread opportunities ( and risks) between the different months as well as spreading versus the live cattle and last but not least, options are liquid enough for either spreads or to use in conjunction with the futures.

Ninja is a good software, wish they would have not limited which brokers and which clients can use diff. brokers but it is a business decision and I respect that. If you have a life time license before July 2014 you can use almost ANY broker who can connect your ninja ( normally over the CQG...

Crude is one of my favorite markets for day-trading. Lots of fear and greed. We just finished a quick review on our weekly newsletter, hope you find this helpful! Have a great weekend.

great topic and pointers by many which I read. As a broker who observed thousands of traders over the years, 95% of them are retail, I can say that the ones who DELEVERAGE the already highly leveraged futures trading, are the ones who have much higher success rate. On the professional side, most...
