this month alone 40% and i still have tomorrow!

sounds like what I do:D

what is this? I did not know we had children here on ET

I miss a few opportunities because I only have one monitor, I could see having 4 to 8 monitors so I wouldn’t have to flip through a million things causing me to miss entries.

very nice, what is that on your TV top left? bloomberg?

The demo works like this, ES is currently at 1297.00/1297.25 If I decide to buy here using limit order, I fill at 1297.25. The account will show no loss from the spread. If I wish to sell this very instant I cant sell at where I bought at 1297.25. I lose a tick and sell at 1297.00. And if I use...

Although reading is good, nothing beats experience. I have never read any books. I self taught myself how to trade. Luckily I had some one to talk to as sort of a mentor I would say, was my dad. Although he has never traded futures. I think the reason why a lot of people say futures are hard...

actually the charts you see in my posts are from some where else.

I forgot to mention that I also look for trading differences in the indexes (maybe it is called something else) For example I placed a buy in pre market on ER more then once on different days for the same reason. The YM, NQ and ES were trading up while the ER was trading down by about a point...

Sure, I find that for me simplicity is heaven. Therefore I do not use any indicators other than moving averages. This system gets so simple I think a lot of people will find fault in it. But hey it works for me. I start my day out by looking at the daily charts of the cash indexes. Dow...

okay thanks, I will check it out. :cool:

With sound contract management you don’t get blasted. 50k account, Trading 20 lots, or heck trading 40lots Symbol traded. ES targets 4 ticks, or 1 point. Stop loss 4 ticks, or 1 point 3 trades a day, 60 a month. 75% accuracy. = 45 winners / 15 losers Heck lets make...

How 'simple' is your trading system? What are indicators? Oh and my system is so simple 95% of all trader will fail using it. :D that's how simple it is :cool:

Good advice but, If this is a hypothetical scenario you mention, I think it is very hypothetical because 50+ pips can happen over night during the 12 hour period, meaning getting filed before the news, in witch case you could be on the wrong side. So the alternative to this strategy would be...

I'll help you for 25% of all profits. EDIT: lets make 2mil in 6 months

I’ve seen during news announcements the YM trade opposite from the cash DJIA by 30 ticks, ES to but not as bad. Is it not fair to say that currency futures follow the spot FX, as index futures follow the cash? (1) Would explain why YM and GBP, along with many many other futures can spike...

of course... pleased to do so.... thanks

I was quoted this in on march 5th "Our minimum is $5,000. We can offer you a rate of $4.80 a round turn for the electronic contracts and $16.00 a round turn for the open outcry markets." Kinda high, I think they will work with you like any other broker though if you do volume.
