Thanks guys. just as a follow up, when do you rollover to the next contract? is it like the us minis when you rollover the thurs on the week before exiration? thanks again.

hope this isnt a silly question. i was looking through the sgxnk contracts in ib and there seems to be quite a few of them. which of the contracts should we be looking at the march, april or june expiry? thanks.

Just to see if i have things straight, lets say a move from 15620 down to 15540 on the nikkei futs. so this is a total of 80 pts = 16 ticks (80 / 5). at more or less $21 per tick, we have 16 x 21 = $336 gross and at $5 commish, $331 net. is this correct?

Just a few inquires... this looks quite interesting. Are foreigners allowed to trade the futures. i trade through ib. i've seen the hsi futures and they are a bit too wild for me. i might take a look at the nikkei, is the kospi ok too? where would be a good place to get info on the...

Hi Steve, dont know if you remember, a while back you mentioned about trading the open. i'm very thankful for your advise and have been doing a bit of research and testing with some of the index futures. Looks very promising to me though I hope you can help me with regards to a few things...

Hope i didnt distract you too much from your trading. Would i be correct in assuming the DDF would be the initial stop loss or would it be the top of the 5min bar?

Cool! Thanks Steve, Would there be re-entry criteria for either side in this type of setup?

Yup, very helpful. thanks for the guidance. It's always great to be pointed towards the right direction. Now, gonna be doing some legwork...

No apologies needed, in fact, i'm very THANKFUL! GREAT STUFF! I've been taking a look at the mini-russell lately, looks a lot better than what the ES/NQ have been doing. Although it's quite a bit jumpy when looking through 1-min charts. Since I'm not too much of a trading expert yet, I'm a...

Thanks Steve, I felt that way which is why I made the post. I'm not much of a seasoned trader and definitely no expert, just hoping to learn as i go along. I would like to ask when you mention about trading the open, what does this mean? do you have some example parameters just so i...

I was just wondering how the ES traders are doing? I, personally, have been having a more difficult time the past 2 weeks due to the small range its been trading. To clarify things, i only trade the am session before going to work. It often averages at 4-5pts these days. I trade pullbacks and...

I recently am looking at the ER and notifced in comparison to the ES and NQ, at least for me it seems quite a bit more jumpy. I'm definitely no expert, and currently cant patterns in the ER or how to trade it. I currently look at 1 min charts and am a trendfollower, often entries in...

Hope you dont mind sharing, which other methods would perform better? Thanks.

is it possible to make ensign playback files of historical data. i would like to know if past intraday data of estx, dax can be transformed into playback files. if this is possible, what type of files would be needed - time & sales or OHLC intraday data? thanks.

Would anybody happen to have 1-minute intraday OHLC data on the DAX, ESTX, Bund. I've been looking at these markets and would like to try out some strategies on past data. Thanks.

Just wanted to get your take on Friday emini trading... is it worth watching considering the 1/2 day trading and probably light volume. I'm havent been trading that minis too long so wanted to see what the experienced traders feel. Basically want to avoid it if often turns out to be a...

Just wanted to get some clarification on quantdeveloper. is quantdeveloper different from quantstudio? what is the difference between the demo version and the ordered license version, how long is the demo viable? what type of intraday data format is needed, is data for emini nasdaq and...

Will the es and nqs be trading tomorrow?

Hi Acrary, Thanks for the great thread! I'm still quite new at trading and am learning a lot from your posts. As such, a lot of the guys who reply to your posts are experienced experts and follow quite well. I, on the other hand am a bit slower. Hope that you could consider my request...

Thanks FuturesTrader, coolweb and illiquid for your insights. They are very relevant issues for a trader. Some of them I've learned over time the others I will take, digest and hopefully be able to use to improve my trading. Reading up on the posts made, I cant help but wonder if it's just me...
