Is there a trade-able "full contract"? Last I checked 10 years ago it was dead and everything was in the e-mini for SP500, ES.

Some one is kicking off sell programs. Notice the timing.

No offense intended but why would someone want to mentor you? These reasons are all possible. 1) they want you to give them money. 2) they don't actually know useful trading and want to pontificate their ideas to bolster their self-inflating ego. 3) they actually know something and just want...

Hey guys, Asking those who were there: On April 10th 2024 FOMC meeting was 11 AM PST. But at 5 minutes after 10 AM PST, ~one hour earlier, the volume goes up and volitility goes nuts for the hour prior to the meeting. BTW, CPI was released at 5:30 AM PT. Normally the hour before the FOMC...

I would add: Notice if one draws a trendline channel from early on. As time goes on, the trend in slightly broken on the downside and then recovers into another channel. This latter channel is slightly more horizontal. There is probably some term for this since it is VERY common. For...

None take. I have traded 10,000+ of contracts, ES, ZN, YM, NQ since 90's. Before I run any new system for live the check list is: 1) Order handling: Types, native versus simulated at broker. 2) Connection: Latency at high volume times, backup connection roll-over works when then primary...

I liked the crazy screaming lady! Ok I got to stop procrastinating: did some sim scalping today. Days like today 5 ticks is pretty easy. Other days not so much. Nothing spectacular. Had a couple of MAE that were sub optimal. Mostly just checking signals. 5 ticks today is like...

I think people are confusing trading and social media, deep in their mind and don't know it. As if trader tweets or some Instagram notoriety is going to make you a better trader because other people think so, or that you show something "great" once, it is a representative of your entire...

The one that has acceptable risk for the potential gain.

Arm Chair comment: Looks like a gap fill day. Which was the nominal assumption from last night. Looked like an outstanding trading day though. Seem like the downtrend can now continue unabated except for a test of the low yesterday. Will it? Got no opinion here. But there will...

Reminds me of a quote from a pro. "Don't step in front of a freight train".

So the bounce begins but under low volume conditions. Long @63 3x.

I think it happens after 9 AM, based on recent patterns. But it is setting up for it now. It is as if they set the algos to right after lunch starts. So you can be entertained while eating...

yeah but it is weak-fragile. Days like this are good to have patience. But some will confuse patience with a trouncing if it turns a range into a trend. That 50 is a good sticky top of range. Looks like 40 is holding. Starting to look like a Dead Cat Bounce day. Not much reason to go up...
