Great post, very interesting

what about moving into the CBOT pits? Or are those pits starting to dry up with the eCBOT now? Regardless, I'm sure you'll find something, your trading knowledge must be pretty high if you've been doing it for 10 years. Also, cant you take computer programing courses from local tech schools...

Try trading the 10yr note (ZN), i like that better than the YM or ES actually. Its got a $15 tick size, but its not volatile enough to lose your shirt if it trades against you - whereas ES and YM can wipe you out if you have a bad trade or dont honor a stop. I was curious about mini...

Isnt mini soybeans and corn only pit traded? Is there even any pit volume for such a small contract ($1.25 tick)?

i've been getting chopped up all morning trying to get short (with a targets around 1410)...waiting for only long signals now.

what do you think, continue to buy the dips?

I thought he was an oil/nat gas trader? what was he recommend selling, SP futures or SPY?

trend day today? i got sell targets around 1407 - 1408 (ES) and just under 12290 (YM) - 100% fib ret from 11/28-11/30 rally and third test of that rally high...opinions?

I know plenty of futures traders that are FAR from professionals...the only thing saving them from financial disaster is the risk monitor set up by their brokers (automatically closing out their positions if their position risk becomes too high).

are you looking at the 23.6% fib retracement level at 1400?

I got bids to buy the ZN at 108-29 - 50% fib retracement from todays lows to highs (i'm using a 60 min chart). What timeframe charts are you using? Do you scale into your positions or just 'all-in/out'?

Great journal i just came across it this morning....haha, yea the market suckered me in long the ZN this morning thinking that high would be taken out on the report (although my stop hasnt been hit: 8-25). I'll probably be giving away all my profits from yesterdays breakout above 8-22. Great...

I thought i would bring back this thread - seeing that seat prices are close to 70k now. Anyone know how Pit Volume has been doing; or what current lease prices are at? Or if there is any speculating money to be made in those pits?

I also agree...that 1.30 level on the EUR/USD was very significant, i know i'll be buying if it pulls back to that level and selling es & ym on some bounces.

Anyone ever use NeoTicker EOD? http://www.tickquest.com/NeoTickerEOD/

I was in the same situation as you about 2.5 years ago. Graduated from college, then took a job at a prop shop. They only required me to put up $1500, got a 60/40 payout; no desk fees; and .008 commissions....real shitty deal, i now know that. The shop was essentially was a room filled with...

Can you post the link? thanks

Anyone know if there are some ETF's that closely mirror the USD, GBP, or JPY spot or future prices? If so, can you please post the ticker. Thanks!

I'm also looking for a Ag Squawk; so if anyone finds one, please post it. thanks
