Answers: 1. Nothing is as easy as it looks, but sometimes simplicity is the key. Other times you have to follow Alexander the Great and his approach to problem solving. 2. Greed is not my disease and discipline is what will allow me to hit the sell button at the 1/4 point. 3. Thanx...

I am not here to flame anybody. I enjoy honesty in general and prefer to make love not war. My trading size of 100 to 200 is my ultimate goal which hopefully will be achieved in couple of years. I am not one of those fools who jump into a lake without doing research first. You are correct in...

Well, at least you are not knocking it entirely out of the ballpark. As for having a mentor.... I think it would be easier for MJ to get laid in a senior citizen center (and enjoy it) than for me to get a mentor. Therefore .... could you drop me a clue as to what other markets I should be...

I am very far away from those contracts, but appreciate the info. Thank you:)

Good for bsmeter:p

Duly Noted sir.:(

Answers:::: 1. I was not offended or felt disrespected by any of the comments posted on this thread. As a matter of fact I want people to be honest and brutally frank when answering my question. After all, this could and probably will allow me not to loose a bundle of $$$$. Furthermore...

After examining the ES I have noticed that there is a lot of movement within 1/4 of a point. What I mean is that ES would jump with 1/2 point several times before moving on with the trend. SO, lets say ES is at 1333.50 uptick, I buy at 1333.50 100 lot, the ES wiggles going from 1333.50 to...

Thank you for the info. I will check them out.

I will keep your info on file. Thanks a lot

I see your point and ..... it worries me. :(

Thank you for seeing it from my angle. I am not a veteran trader and I have not wet my feet at the fountain of trading yet. So maybe my system is full of ... hot air, but thisis what I have been able to come up with so far. Maybe, once I have a couple of years of trading behind me and my nick...

Your response doesn't really address the issue does it?:confused:

Thanks for the tip, but I have invested too much time watching, analyzing and researching ES to switch to E7 now. I want to see if this will work in ES market. Nevertheless, thank you for your input, maybe in the future I look into E7.:D

I am glad you gave it a try. How did it look when you put it to test in real life???? Can you provide more details???? Inquiring minds want to know.:D

It has nothing to do with guessing. Opening an account and trying it out would the easy part. I need more time, but when I am good and ready I will give it a try.

Time will tell, time will tell. I have heard that lack of plan and discipline will make even the best of traders into fecal matter. :D As for advice: I never ignore it I just not always take it.

How often would that happen if I am not selling at the top of the run or at the bottom when most of the motion happens? 100 lot is not that big of a deal on ES I presume and if I am going with the trend eventually I will get filled especially if the tick goes another 1/4 or 1/2 up. Is my logic...

I think you missed the main idea. Given the fact that 1 point on ES = $12 and IB charges what 3.60 round trip per contract the $5 fee was a round number. Granted with that kind of turn over I am certain I could get a much lower commission. But this was not the point that I was trying to make...

I avoided your question because there is need to answer it. I have studied ES and in my view hitting it for 1/4 point is not that hard to do provided you are not going against the trend and you do not get too greedy and wait for a profit in the range of 3/4 or a whole point. Next time you watch...
