Which one you feel is more painful? Losing money or missing a great trade?

Does anyone trade a market with more than one system at the same time? Is this approach more or less risky?

If I only trade ZN/ZB/ZF futures and hold for minutes, do I really need to know the yield curve?:confused:

ES is a tough game!!!!

I make a plan and try to stick to it. But the market tried to give me some temptation breaking my own rules. It is a very challenging game. Here is an example: My plan is only enter when the 5 moving averages are sorted. But there are some occasions that only 4 of them were sorted and if I...

Does anyone read Steenbarger's new book about trading psychology? Is it helpful?

Jay, When you trade the SP or NQ, would you also look at the charts of bonds and only put on trades when they start to diverge?

Good observation! I also got a feeling that they can change roles. In John Murphy's Intermarket Analysis he said the bonds lead the Index. But I am not sure it is correct. He also said bonds and index usually move in the same direction. This one I am sure is incorrect.

Does anyone have information about which one leads which one?

Can someone recommend a broker for trading open outcry futures? Low commission and execution speed are the most important factors. Thank for any suggestion.

You always want to pick the bottome and top, don't you?:D

Did D.E. Shaw run by the guy that mentioned in Schwager's Stock Market Wizards?

I used to think they are much smarter than us and still feeling many clever guys are working on the Wall Street. But just be careful that there are also lots of sh**heads!

Corallus: Yes. You are right. I mean buying(or long) one ES and one NQ at the same time.

But how many of them are still in the market? It is common that one can win for years but wiped out by just one trade. Not only in stocks/futures, I know many people invest in the real estate market in the Far East(Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Thailand). They made huge amount of money for...

Yes! o/n gaps are really horrible and destructive! I saw many guys wiped out by them!

Assume I only risk 1% of my capital in any trade. If I buy 1 NQ and 1 ES at the same time and each of them I take 1% risk, is it actually a 2% risk trade? Since they are somewhat correlated.
