on the contrary. i am not in a rush at all which is why i'm looking for feedback from my fellow traders before i make certain trading decisions. one thing i have in my trading strategy is to be very patient. one reason why i am still alive in a business where 90% go broke. in conclusion from...

i always wondered about about bonds. i used to have a longer term strategy to trade them but now that the markets went electronic i cant use it anymore. problem i had with day trading bonds is that they have a huge tick increment of 31.25 per minimum tick. probably for longer term day trading...

i have to disagree. let me add i am trading commodities for 10 years. i am no newbie to commodity trading. i have unfortunately traded crude oil and there is slippage. i have never experienced any slippage with the eminis. the eminis are more liquid, have more open interest and volume than crude...

good point. well of course comparing YM to ER2 to es would mean 10 ticks vs 1 full points (1 hundred dollars in er2) to 2 full points in es. i was talking about it in that context. this is what i meant

that is a good idea. observing them all at the same time in the time increment charts i am comfortable with may give me an idea how they move together. however, it will be hard to follow all at once. i was hoping to get trader feedback for them all individually since many traders here may trade...

why the YM? why has it worked for you? i have day traded the YM but very little. i have noticed it lags in open interest and volume amongst the other eminis. will this hurt fills and slippage?

the considerable screen time is what i was hoping to avoid by asking you guys what you prefer in your trading system. the other commodities you mention are not for day trading. i am talking about day trading here and eminis only becuase of the quick fills and liquidity. maybe i should have...

wow no replied. do any of you guys trade the eminis here at all?

Wow. it just seems that there are so many e-minis. which do i choose? we have the ES, the russel, nasdaq, and the dow. so the question is which one do i trade? if it's open interest well of course i know the ES is the king and always will be. but the others are saturated with OI as well. even...

do you use them? do they have a compact online order entry system?

they dont. thats all they have.

I trade with the biggest. man financial. however, its is suprising that their order entry web page is so outdated. they have something called "mtrade" I complained about it for years and they always tell me "they are working on it" their system hasn't changed since they started it. i included...

well that should be the whole point to these moving averages and there are so many of them already. that shorter term MA which would be the 25 day crossing over the 50 day showing that recent momentum in market activity is greater than the longer term momentum activity suggesting strength in the...

a lot of people are saying to ditch the MA's this may be true if can interpret and if your quick enough to make buying and sell decisions based on the interpretation of price. however i'm having trouble understand how you dont use MA's on short time frames while using them on long time...

i meant just what i said before. they are hard to follow because i am using them for day trading with 1-5 minute charts, not 25 minute and hor time frames like you are using them for. so therefore they are swinging wildly. if a convergence and crossover set up, the next 10 second they really...

thank you for the chart and your personal experience. i did notice before your entry there were 2 prior crossovers and the 2nd prior one would have lost money (if you went long) my question is that is if you can remember this particular trade, when you were actually waiting for these moving...

these indicators are used both for long term and short term trading. in day trading i notice when using a stochastic or any other moving average i notice that the lines dip and rise above and below a negative positive line or when they crossover they tend to pull back and then do down again...

It is imperative to conduct a genuine discussion of whether the proposed way of pursuing disengagement threatens to endanger the country, and whether there might be a better time and approach to getting out of Gaza that advances Israel's security. The result could well be that Sharon will adjust...

It is very hard to know whether the disengagement proposal would increase or decrease Israel's military burden, and whether it would help or hurt its chances of survival. The conclusion can only come from comparing the possible benefits and the possible costs, each of which is uncertain and...
