So Blaze trader, they also set targets ahead of time, and you can follow each and every trade? It doesn't take much playing around to turn losing trades into ingenious trades.

Hmmm..... I've never been charged more than 3 dollars for CME data from IB.

Unless they give every trade live, before the fact, with an exact stop and entry. Then you can just simply watch and see for yourself. This is why they obfuscate their trades.

There's no reason that you need more than a few thousand to get your feet wet with ETFs. You have a limited number of trades per week, but patience is a great virtue to learn. Putting 500 into a futures account is simply suicide, and nothing will be learned from that.

There are better ways to give real trading a shot than trading an ES contract with 500 dollars in your account. You could just trade some shares of an index ETF.

High leverage of futures means needed roughly 5000 in your account for each contract traded. That is high enough. Being required to have only 500 for each contract is far too much leverage.

Yes. Look at MF Global, which was a much larger firm than AMP. You could simply lose all your money, simply because AMP went bankrupt. No insurance what so ever. Why take the extra risk? The answer is simple. Because you only have 500 bucks and no one else will take your account.

What concern did IB have over the huge Swiss Franc drop? You can use any software you like with IB. All accounts at IB are insured in multiple ways. What insurance coverage do the futures brokers have?

I"m not calling them shady or legit. What I am saying, is that you're money is not protected. It is possible that they can go belly up, and if they do, you can lose all your funds. I would personally go with a much larger real brokerage, like IB for example. There are a lot of choices out...

AMP is just like the other futures brokers. You have no protection on your money. Why wouldn't you just use a real broker like IB? If you can't come up with 10K to open an account then you should not be trading futures.

So after years of practice and searching, you finally find an edge. What do you do? Become an internet guru? Trade it yourself? Join a prop shop?

Buying ES at 2116. Target 2131 Stop 2106

Look at the Bid/ Ask. That will show you how many contracts are currently waiting open for sale at each price level.

daytradingradio.com? I know they're a sponsor, will that keep them off this list? Or what about that boone guy? He's friends with the site owner, maybe that will keep him off this list too.

what about eminiaddict.com? He doesn't even make calls. Only shows in hindsight what a genius he is.

That's right. I am highly suspicous of someone who can almost always win with a 2 tick target and a 4 tick stop. Every win would be around 22 and every loss would be around 53 with comissions. That means he would have to truely rarely lose.

How are you consistently winning?

And if it is the same broker, same contract, same account then you cannot trade both sides of it. However, for the curious, there is a way to do it, as I said above

Yeah. No broker will allow you to be long and short at the same time. I know that for sure. But my point is that it is not illegal to do that with two different brokers, and you can go the next contract out with the same broker. I've been told this by multiple brokers. But to be on the safe...

Yep, that's true. They reverse split when zero is approached. This gives a false illusion.
