Not yet...the mini crude, QM is the smallest one for now at half the size. however, there are some new products on the horizon including an energy index that will be smaller in size - I will keep you posted!

I like the ZB and UB as well as the ten year futures. Nice instruments, "better trading for my taste". Not just that, overall trading fees should be lower as the exchange fees part is one of the lowest. Normally if bullish, buy UB sell ZB or even ZN pending how aggressive you want to be. Watch...

Was hoping to share a PDF we have that i thought was translated to Spanish but that is not the case....I can recommend using google translator and have her translate more than a few pages we have with good content and solid information...

I like long bean oil, short wheat based on weekly charts

YES!! Thank you for catching that and correcting. I will do the ratio spreads when I feel the spike up or down in prices is extreme and volatility / premium make sense.

I really think the choice of FCM depends on what type of trading you are looking to do and your general trading needs. Like I read by my colleague RobertMorse mentioned, bigger is not always better as we witnessed with MFGlobal about 8 years ago or so.... We are an Independent Introducing...

I like selling vertical call spreads or vertical put spreads. anything between 30-70 days depending on the market and premium. I have experimented with selling diagonals but found out that for my specific situation/time etc. picking a don the market is not going to and using vertical for...

true... you can use micros on the indices/gold/euro, british pound mini crude, mini nat gas

I would try your swing strategy with MICROS as you try to implement a solid/ strict money management.

Looks like the Oct ICE 30 day contract has a few contracts to start the day.....29 at this time of the day versus 1300 on the CME one.

Either trade spreads or use weekly options for protection but if you try to trade FOMC with "normal stops"....good luck!

The quarterly will expire tomorrow at 9:30 AM EST in what we call quadruple witching: index options, index futures, single stock futures and equity options. Cash settled if you are in the money. Worthless if you are out of the money. The special price is NOT always the last traded price you see...

I dont to be honest and I dont want to "guesstimate" and get in trouble with regulators / compliance..... Feel free to PM me and i wil do my best to share info I am able to.

CFD's are not traded on central exchange like futures so that might be part of it but also when volatility gets to be abnormal like now, weird things can happen but in general closer to the money have higher delta and will move more than out of the money options but if out of the money was very...

Volatility continues, Saudi say it will take quicker to resume full capacity than expected. Gaps to be filled on both sides....

Excellent pointers! Not much spread trading if at all among the retail part for us, over 60% of what i consider pro traders do use spread trading with us. Also from the retail part not many will do HFT "properly" and use too much discretionary trading where one can easily decide to break one...

Have you looked at Jigsaw Daytrader?

As a broker who observed/ observes many clients over the years, I can share that traders who try to combine diff. strategies do better overall than those who are strictly day-traders. Examples maybe day traders who also use weekly options or swing traders who add diff. option strategies etc.

I like that market very much however, ICE charges retail clients over 4100 per month for realtime data versus the CME charging $5 per month for retail clients....

Try using range bar charts rather than time based charts and see if this provides a bit more of an edge?
